Our Trip on the Disney World Monorail Took Almost 45 Minutes Today — See What Happened

By 2 Comments

If you’re planning to visit Disney World, you might be thinking of using Disney transportation during your trip.

Monorail Time

One of the most beloved forms of transportation is the Disney World Monorail. The monorail is iconic, fun, and convenient. But, the monorail isn’t perfect. It can experience technical issues and go “down” for extended periods. Today, we got caught in the middle of a technical issue with one monorail line that caused us quite the delay.

The new Star Wars hotel is set to make its very first voyage on March 1st, 2022 and we’ve been getting a ton of details about the one-of-a-kind experience leading up to its big debut. We’ve brought you everything from what the cabins will look like, to what you’ll be eating (including BLUE SHRIMP), what you’ll be able to do, and who you’ll be able to see (or even become!) on the 2-night “immersive adventure.” And, while Disney has been consistently giving us more sneak peeks, one thing that hasn’t stayed consistent is the reservation calendar, which is making some guests wonder — are people opting to cancel their reservations already? Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing.

We Got to Meet a RARE Princess in Disney World Today!

By 1 Comment

Character meet and greets are back in Disney World, but they look a little different!

This is how you meet Mickey now!

You can now meet your favorite characters again, just in a modified way. The characters stay behind a rope so that you have to maintain distance — you still can’t hug them or get autographs. But, you do get to spend time talking with them and snap a few pics! We’ve seen Mickey, Pluto, several princesses, and more since the meet and greets have returned, and today, we got a big surprise when we were visiting Princess Fairytale Hall in Magic Kingdom!

PHOTOS: A Disney World Monorail has Returned with an Updated Look!

By 1 Comment

Disney World’s most iconic form of transportation is without a doubt the monorail!

Monorail!

It can be used to get to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and certain resorts. It’s a great way to get around, except for when the monorail inexplicably goes down from time to time. The monorails have gradually been getting updates over the past couple years, receiving new paint jobs and one even getting a special wrap for the 50th anniversary. And today, we saw another monorail with a new look!
