food IS a theme park
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Star Wars central for Disney World.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
A long time ago (in this galaxy), Hollywood Studios once held Star Wars weekends, but now you can experience Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge any day of the week. But there is one special, yet random day in May that all Star Wars fans are probably hoping to visit Batuu more than any other day, at least that’s the feeling we get when we look at the park reservations calendar!
Some of our favorite Disney World rides just aren’t loved as much by the rest of the population, and that’s okay.
EPCOT
That just means that there are shorter lines for us, so we can ride again and again! Typically, there are a few rides at Disney World that are almost always walk-ons for us. Emphasis on TYPICALLY. Occasionally, we see longer waits at these rides, which is typically a good indicator that things are BUSY in the parks. We’re now getting settled into the month of March, and spring break crowds are arriving. We figured it would be a bit busier than usual, but those quieter rides of ours told us all we needed to know. Check it out!
Let’s face it, when it’s hot in Disney World, the last thing you want to do is eat outside.
EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion
Like hot food on a hot day and you’re already sweating? No, thank you. But sometimes, it can’t be helped, especially at a lot of Disney World counter service locations that only offer outdoor seating. But believe it or not, ONE EPCOT counter service restaurant has SECRET indoor seating (as in AIR CONDITIONING) — you just have to know how to get it.

Disney World is BUSY today, y’all!
Cinderella Castle
The wild part is — it’s not even noon yet! Sometimes early in the day is the easiest time to see how busy the day will be at Disney World, and today is no exception! We know we’ve seen some pretty hectic crowds recently, and wait times were still pretty high last week. Let’s take a look at just how busy it is today! [Read more…]
Hi. Former Disney World Cast Member here. The life of a Disney Cast Member is pretty unique — your day consists of waving bubble wands around, talking to a mouse, and pressing buttons to make elephants spin around in the sky. But Cast Members clock in and clock out just like the rest of the world, which means they covet that precious lunch break just like us.
We told you this is a MAGICAL place!
So, remember how we said the job has some unique aspects? Well, when you’re a Magic Kingdom Cast Member, guess what you can get for lunch? Magic Kingdom food! But you’ve probably never seen a Haunted Mansion Cast Member in line at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments, right?
