We’ve got some interesting Disney World construction news today!
Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World
We spend a lot of time spotting construction in the Disney parks. Just yesterday we found some new construction in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. To be honest, we’re pretty used to construction in EPCOT, but it’s more surprising when we hear tell of projects in Magic Kingdom! Could these permits point to upcoming ride refurbishments?Â
We were already excited that Yorkshire County Fish Shop is set to be open on the weekends now in EPCOT, but now we’ve found a way to celebrate our love for fish & chips all the time…

…Fish & Chips Minnie Mouse EARS!
BOO!! Err, I mean… HELLO from Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!!
Court Jester Mickey and Knight Donald
THIS is where Halloween is in FULL SWING… and the gang’s ALL HERE — and in their festive best — to celebrate! We’re checking out what’s NEW in the park (with help from some of our best Disney pals!), and we hope you’ll join us along the way for even more festive fall fun!
Oh, and when we say “the gang’s all here…” [Read more…]
Navigating a reopened Disney World can be a tricky challenge! It can certainly feel like things are constantly changing in the parks these days.
Disney World
How many people are allowed in? Will our favorite snacks be available? What time do the parks even close!? It can be hard to keep track! We don’t want these changes to catch you unaware, so we’re taking a look at three NEW Disney World trip mistakes that you’re totally not expecting and how to avoid them!
Earlier this year, we saw the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend canceled and the 2020 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend converted to a virtual event.

No word, however, had been released on the 2021 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend or the 2021 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. But, today we got an update from runDisney about both of these events.
Who’s the cutest alien in the galaxy? No, it’s not Stitch but he’s a close second.
Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian
We’re looking at more Baby Yoda merchandise today and we’re not mad about it. Okay, we know, they want us to call him “The Child,” but frankly, we just can’t get behind it. Baby Yoda he shall be until The Mandalorian creators give him a new name. Oh, did we mention he can ride on your shoulder now?
Since it first opened in December 2019, Rise of the Resistance has widely been considered THE must-do attraction in Disney World.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Given the ride’s popularity, guests are required to obtain a boarding group in order to experience the attraction, rather than waiting in an hours-long physical queue. Currently, boarding groups are made available twice during the day — once when the park first opens at 10AM and again at 2PM.Â
But as with other attractions around Disney World, capacity for Rise of the Resistance is limited, which means it might not be an easy feat to snag a boarding group. After hearing from many friends that they were not able to get boarding groups or ride the attraction, we decided to poll our audience to get an idea of just how many Disney World guests missed out on riding the most popular attraction in Orlando with the current system.
Halloween ears have been scaring up a storm this year, and we’re not complaining!
Jack ‘O Lantern Ears
From the sweet Halloween Candy Minnie Ears to the spooky Witch Minnie Ears, we’re having a hard time not snagging them all. One of our favorite pairs of spooky ears this year has been kind of hard to find — until today, that is! The Jack ‘O Lantern Mickey Ears have FINALLY made it to Disney World!
Updates: Cinderella’s Royal Table opened today, one day earlier than its scheduled reopening date, with a 5 minute wait! Click here to check out all the details. We were also surprised by a special guest during our dining experience today. Click here to see who made a guest appearance during our meal! Stay tuned for our full review of Cinderella’s Royal Table.
Ever wanted to dine like royalty?
Vaulted Ceilings in Cinderella’s Royal Table
You can truly feel like a princess when you eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. But, let’s be honest, this place has always been off-the-charts expensive.
Pre-closure, you could drop over $300 (after tax and tip) for your family of four, and it wasn’t even all you can eat. But we’ve always still recommended it as a one-and-done — because getting the experience to dine inside Cinderella Castle AND seeing five princesses at once almost made it worth the cost. Especially if this was your one and only experience to dine here.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
