food IS a theme park
Trips to Disney are EXPENSIVE! There’s no doubt about it.
Magic Kingdom
Add up all the costs for airfare, hotel rooms, and park tickets and we’d be surprised if you even had any money left over for food and souvenirs or add-ons like Genie+ or PhotoPass. Thinking about all that, we thought we’d bring you our list of the BEST free things in Disney World right now. (Bet you didn’t know there were any free things to do at Disney World!)
We’re constantly talking about the Disney World hotels — why you should stay on property, which hotel you should choose, and what perks they have.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
There are SO many options in Disney World, but there are even more options outside of the resort! From other hotel brands to Airbnbs, you could just as easily stay off-property. And if you’re on the fence with that decision, today we’re telling you why we’ve regretted staying in Disney World hotels in the past!
The list of things we love about EPCOT is nearly endless.
Spaceship Earth
We say nearly because, despite what it may seem, there’s trouble afoot in this park. Yep, you read that correctly — a particular pavilion happens to be riddled with debauchery, crime, and general raucousness, and we’re back for another investigation. It’s time for CSI: Disney World.
Disney Springs has seen LOTS of changes lately!
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC sweets and treats
Disney Springs has welcomed a few new restaurants recently like EET by Maneet Chauhan and Summer House on the Lake. But with so many stores closing there lately, too, how are the restaurants that have been around for a while? We took on the challenge to find out! [Read more…]
The holiday season is not only in full swing, but the ACTUAL holidays are finally upon us!
The holidays have arrived!
That means that things are getting pretty busy in Disney World. The crowds are arriving and Genie+ has already reached its highest price yet. But that’s not all. If you were planning on visiting Magic Kingdom this week and have not yet made a park pass reservation, well, we’ve got some bad news for you.
Christmas Eve has finally arrived in Disney World.
Christmas is officially in Disney World!
Of course, we’ve been celebrating the holidays since early November, way back when the first decorations started going up in the parks. We went to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and we’ve been busy eating ALL the holiday snacks. But now, the day BEFORE the big day is finally here. Now, Christmas Eve is usually a very busy day in the parks, so let’s take a look at the crowds in Disney World.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Magic Kingdom
Where else would we be spending the holidays other than the Most Magical Place on Earth? Yep, we’re at Disney World on Christmas Eve, and before we even got to the parks this morning, we knew it would be a pretty busy day! The holiday season brings in a lot of visitors no matter what day it is, and that has a tendency to drive up Genie+ prices. Here’s what you can expect on Christmas Eve!
Several attraction and restaurant closures will affect the Disney World parks and hotels next week.
Cinderella Castle
Occasionally, rides, attractions, hotels, and kiosks have to temporarily close down in Disney World as Cast Members update and refurbish them. Let’s check out everything that will be closed next week, from December 24th through the 30th!
We’ve been talking about it for weeks, but the week before Christmas has arrived…and boy is it busy!
Magic Kingdom crowds
Park passes have been selling out for all ticket types, several Annual Passholders are now blocked out, the multi-park and Magic Kingdom Genie+ options sold out, and (we’re not gonna sugar-coat it) the parks have felt CROWDED. That’s why we’re always warning you about this time of year in the parks — although it’s a fun place to spend the holidays, you have to prepare for these kinds of things! But just how bad were the wait times during this hectic week? Let’s find out!
Words can’t express how excited we are to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in 2024.
@Disney
This new ride will be in both Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, but Disneyland also has Tiana’s Palace, the new quick-service restaurant that opened up earlier this year. This begs the question — will Disney World be getting a Tiana-inspired restaurant, as well?
