WHERE Are the Crowds?! The Wait for Disney World’s BUSIEST Ride DROPPED by Nearly 10% Last Week

By 1 Comment

Every week, we check the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! This week, the Magic Kingdom classic saw incremental wait increases, while the rest of Walt Disney World remained relatively staid, with some decreases.

Lightning Lanes in Walt Disney World

Disney World’s longest average wait time was for Flight of Passage, as usual, but the ride saw a rare 9-minute DROP in its average wait time. It will be interesting to see what, if any, effect the new Lighting Lane system will have on wait times next week.

REVIEW: We Came to This Famous Magic Kingdom Restaurant for the Dessert, but STAYED for the Bizarre Tomato Baby

By 7 Comments

We’re HUGE fans of some of the classic dining spots around Disney World, and Magic Kingdom is home to some old favorites! Between the classic rides, classic characters, and classic restaurants at this park, there’s plenty to keep us busy at Magic Kingdom. But one of our favorite things to do is sit down for a nice, filling meal. And that’s exactly what we’re doing today!

Dessert!

In our continuous journey to visit every single Disney World restaurant, we’ve had some real winners and some that didn’t leave much of a lasting impression on us at all. So, that gave us an idea — would a beloved Magic Kingdom restaurant STILL stand up to the test of time?

It Just Got HARDER To Get on These Disney World Rides!

By 5 Comments

Things have been…shall we say…interesting in Disney World this week.

Cinderella Castle

Genie+ has gone away forever (and we know a lot of folks cheering about that), but it was replaced with a new system called Lightning Lane Multi Pass. But this was WAY more than a name change. Nope, a lot of other changes happened with how you make Lightning Lane selections through Multi Pass. A LOT. We have tested out the system, and we’ve got to warn you: it’s now a lot harder to book Lightning Lane for some rides.

Well, we could have called this one. In case you haven’t heard, Disney just made BIG changes to its paid skip-the-line service, now called Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. We have a TON of super in-depth information about all the changes, and we’re even reporting LIVE on all the new features.
