food IS a theme park
Although a holiday weekend isn’t a guarantee for large crowds in Disney World, it does make it more likely.
What are crowds like this weekend?
On previous holiday weekends, we’ve seen everything from large crowds to small crowds that surprised us. With Monday being a holiday, though, we have to wonder — what are the crowds like right now? Well, let’s find out!
Disney World is closing out its 50th Anniversary next year, but there’s an even bigger celebration on the way — the 100th Anniversary of The Walt Disney Company!

The company was founded in 1923, and starting in 2023, we’ll be celebrating 100 years of excitement. We can’t wait to check out all the celebrations for ourselves…but will we be able to party it up in Disney World? Here’s what we know so far.
It’s no secret that Disney World has gone through quite a few changes since it first opened in 1971.
Magic Kingdom
From additional parks and attractions to new restaurants and hotels, Disney is constantly coming up with ways to bring new experiences to guests. But, sometimes these changes mean that a previously popular area of the parks has been left to feel all but abandoned or downright creepy. In fact, you might even walk right past some of these spots without even realizing it. Next time you’re walking around Disney World, keep an eye out for these abandoned and creepy spots!
Many of us stay up to date on what’s happening in Disney World parks, but what about Disney World hotels?
Wilderness Lodge
With over 25 different Disney World hotels and tons of restaurants, shopping, and construction going on among them, there’s a lot happening beyond the Disney Parks! We’re in the parks every as well as frequent hotel visitors, so find out what’s new at Disney World hotels right here!
Wait times have been increasing in Disney World recently, and we’ve also seen bigger crowds arriving in the parks.
Magic Kingdom
There’s a lot to do in Disney World in October, whether you like to check out all the holiday decor, eat limited-time treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, or just enjoy the slightly cooler weather. It’s important to review the Disney World calendar before your visit and you still need a Park Reservation to get into a park — so we’ve compiled that info right here just for you!
It’s finally that season — no, we’re not talking about fall!
It’s Halloween time!
We’re talking about the season of change, and it’s been the season of change in Disney World for a WHILE. Between new restaurants, new attractions, and even more experiences coming to the parks — no two visits are alike right now. Luckily, we do all the hard work and keep track of it all, so let’s check out the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week!
There are so many amazing snacks in Disney World right now, many of them only available for a limited time.
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs
We’ve been indulging in some delicious treats for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month. We’ve also enjoyed some wonderful fall-themed treats. Of course, we’ve also been digging into a load of Halloween snacks. Now, a NEW limited-time snack is available in Disney World, but you’ll have to ACT FAST.
Although we’re excited to have an opening timeline for TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom, we really can’t wait for the Walt Disney World Railroad to return.
Fantasyland station
As you may know, the construction of the TRON ride has affected the railroad’s route, so it’s been closed for a while. We’ve seen a new tunnel built under TRON, which will be part of the railroad’s new path. Today, though, we saw A NEW update that could mean we’re one step closer to seeing the Railroad reopen!
We’re fully into spooky season now, and Disney has been putting on all the celebrations!
Mickey pumpkins!
You can go to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, eat all of those pumpkin snacks, grab some fun merch, or even take some pics in front of those awesome pumpkins. With all of these festivities, it might make the parks more crowded during this time. Let’s find out by checking out the wait times from this past week in Disney World!
We’ve talked about it a lot lately, but Disney World is expensive.
Disney World is expensive
From the cost of transportation (although we have seen some good flight deals recently) to the cost of staying at a Disney World hotel (although you could choose NOT to) to the price of food and drinks, it can be a lot. Then there’s also the cost of park tickets, but what if you could get those for free?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
