food IS a theme park
If there’s one thing you can count on at Disney World in the summertime, it’s rain.

It will almost certainly rain at some point during the day in the summer. Even on days where it says there’s no chance of rain, we’ve been surprised by a quick shower. So, it’s good to be prepared with the essentials, especially on days like today, when there is severe weather in the forecast.

It’s honestly REALLY hard to go wrong with a Disney World trip. Whether it’s your first trip or your 50th, this IS the Most Magical Place on Earth, after all!

That being said, there really are certain iconic, bucket list-worthy attractions and restaurants and snacks that FULLY exemplify that CLASSIC Disney experience, and you’d be missing out if you skipped ‘em!
Disney Genie+ is the new way to skip the lines in Disney World. For $15 per person per day, you can skip the standby line and head straight onto certain attractions in the parks. To really get your money’s worth from the system, we recommend doing some research before your trip to learn the ins and outs of Genie+.

It’s an unfortunate truth that wait times at Disney World can be LONG. Especially for the most popular attractions, guests will sometimes wait multiple hours before they get to ride. If you’d rather skip those long lines and head straight onto the rides, you can do that — for a price, of course.
Splash Mountain Lightning Lane
Disney replaced FastPass+ with the new Disney Genie+ back in October of 2021. With the new system, guests can pay $15 per person per day to skip the lines at certain attractions. Since that time, we’ve seen several changes to the program. Now, another BIG change is coming to Genie+, and it goes into effect TODAY. [Read more…]
