The Lack of the Dining Plan Has CHANGED How Guests Eat at Disney World

By 20 Comments

Mickey eggs!

Historically, the Disney Dining Plan has made it pretty dang easy to eat to your heart’s content throughout the parks and beyond. But the Disney Dining Plan has been unavailable for quite some time now. No pre-paying for all of your vacations’ meals, no snack credits, NADA. So, we wondered, has the lack of the Dining Plan CHANGED how YOU eat in Disney World? We reached out to our wonderful readers via Facebook with this question and their answers might surprise you!

The EASY Way to See Which Characters Have PhotoPass in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

You can get really busy with rides, food, shopping, and entertainment when you’re in Disney World, but you shouldn’t miss out on meeting characters while you’re in the parks!

Hi, friends!

Character meet and greets have been back in a modified way for a while, and soon, they’ll be going back to how they were before the shutdowns in 2020. This means you’ll be able to hug Mickey again and get autographs from Pluto! You’ll also be able to stand next to characters for photos, so you’ll probably want to grab some good pics, and we’re here to help you out when it comes to planning!

What’s New in Magic Kingdom: Brunch at Be Our Guest and GOLD Minnie Ears

By Leave a Comment

You might think that going to Disney World every day would get old… .

This view NEVER gets old.

But the beauty of visiting Disney World is that we notice something new EVERY SINGLE DAY. When it comes to Magic Kingdom, in particular, there’s a new detail in the park to discover every time we visit, whether it be something new we discover in an attraction that we never noticed before, a new Hidden Mickey, or new food to try. Things always feel new, even if you’ve set eyes on Cinderella Castle hundreds of times.
