Disney’s Riviera Resort
Yeah, there is. But we’ll cover that TODAY during this ULTIMATE GUIDE (so you can decide for yourself whether the deluxe resort pros outweigh the cons).

So, your plane just landed at the Orlando International Airport (MCO) and you’re beyond excited to get to Disney World. Quick question: How are you getting there?
Orlando International Airport
You’ve definitely got your transport options like taxis, Uber/Lyft, or even renting a car. But you’ve got another option to consider, granted it hasn’t been getting the greatest reviews, but we didn’t let that stop us from using it to get to Disney World from the airport. So, now let’s talk about it! [Read more…]
It is almost Halloween, which means Disney World is about to transform into a winter wonderland as it prepares for the holiday season.
Christmas is almost here!
There is so much to experience during the holiday season at Disney World. On select nights, Magic Kingdom hosts Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Jollywood Nights is returning once again this year on select nights in Hollywood Studios. Plus, you can experience the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. There is so much to see and do, and if you are planning to visit for the holidays, we have tips on when you should start booking your holiday trip to Orlando!
It can be an extreme challenge to “wing it” when it comes to a Disney World vacation.

With things like Lightning Lanes and virtual queues, scheduled ride refurbishments, dining reservations, and Disney Park Passes, it’s hard to just “go with the flow” during a Disney World vacation or even plan one super last minute. There’s just so much information to know before you travel! And if you’re visiting EPCOT soon, there’s an update you need to know about.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some pretty fantastic snacks and meals, and you don’t have to look very far to find them.
Animal Kingdom
A lot of our favorite restaurants and snacks are located in Animal Kingdom, which means that sometimes it’s hard for us to decide where we want to eat! However, a new sandwich dropped at Restaurantosaurus recently so we knew we had to try it out, and we were NOT disappointed!
Halloween is just around the corner, and that means Disney World is about to start getting into full Christmas mode!
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade 2023
Disney World usually begins decorating the resort before the end of October, so we’re expecting to start seeing signs that the winter holidays are near sometime soon. Little things have already started popping up, such as Christmas merchandise in the stores! But now, we’ve got more evidence that Disney has Christmas on the brain.
A new attraction is coming to Disney World!

After Voyage of the Little Mermaid failed to reopen at Hollywood Studios after the pandemic-related closures, we were left wondering (for a WHILE) about what the fate of this show might be. Eventually, Disney shared that a new, reimagined show inspired by The Little Mermaid would take its place in the fall of this year. But, it doesn’t look like that will be the case any longer.
BIG changes are coming to Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
Disney announced earlier this year that a new Villains Land and new Cars attractions will be coming to the park. Villains Land is expected to be going in the area beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, while the new Cars attractions will be replacing Tom Sawyer Island and Liberty Square Riverboat. But now, a new announcement has just been made for a LONG closure coming soon to Magic Kingdom.
Pueblo Esperanza is the NEW Tropical Americas-themed land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

This new land will feature details from the Tropical Americas as well as Encanto and Indiana Jones rides. We’ll see the beautiful and bountiful life from these areas of the world while enjoying aspects of some fun Disney movies! The new land will be replacing what is currently DinoLand, U.S.A., at Animal Kingdom, and construction will be beginning soon. In fact, Disney just made a HUGE announcement about the first phase of the creation of this new land.
There’s a new hotel addition coming soon to Disney World!

For a while now, we’ve been watching construction at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where a new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) tower is being built. The Island Tower is set to open in December with new dining, entertainment, and hotel rooms, and we can’t wait!
