food IS a theme park
Are you planning to visit Disney World at the beginning of 2024?
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
If so, in case you haven’t already heard, you’ll need to know that a fan-favorite Disney’s Hollywood Studios attraction will be closed for refurbishment — tomorrow!
Disney World isn’t just about rides and food (although the latter is VERY important to us).
Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom
There are also a lot of fun interactive experiences you can have in the parks! From visiting Kidcot stations in EPCOT to MagicBand+ interacting with things in the parks to DuckTales World Showcase Adventure, there are TONS of OTHER things to do in Disney World. Well, a NEW interactive experience is coming soon, and after chatting with a Cast Member, we’re hoping this experience is getting closer to opening.
The start of the 2024 year is bringing about lots of CHANGES to Disney World and it seems that rides are no exception.
Tree of Life
We already knew that Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster is getting ready to close for a longer refurbishment expected to last through Summer, as well as a few other rides. Now, we’ve got another ride to talk about that will also be ready for a refurbishment over the next few days. [Read more…]
Staying on property in Disney World can be such a magical experience, especially for kids.
Disney’s Rivera Resort
However, some people don’t want to be reminded that they’re at Disney everywhere they look in their hotel room. If that’s you, you may decide to stay off-property instead, either at a Good Neighbor Hotel or one of the other hotels near the park. If you’re planning your upcoming trip and are looking at staying off-property, check out this new MASSIVE hotel that’s right next to the resort!
Two Disney World rides will close THIS WEEK for LONG refurbishments! Disney occasionally has to shut down rides and attractions in order to update them, and although sometimes those closures only last a few days, this time two rides will be closed for multiple months.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 7th through the 13th.
Ahhh…the holiday season is finally over in Disney World and you have room to breathe again in the parks, right? WRONG.
Recent crowds
Despite lower Genie+ prices, Disney World has actually gotten busier after the holidays according to the wait times! We’ve seen some astronomically high wait times this week and park passes have been selling out. Which rides should you watch out for? That’s what we’re going to look at today!
Okay, you might want to be sitting down for this because we’ve got one of the HOTTEST new souvenirs in Disney World to share with you.
We know how much everyone loves Starbucks merchandise
Alright, so we know you all love Starbucks merchandise, like the Been There mugs, the Geometric Tumblers, and all the Disney Parks Tumblers. Well, one of the MOST popular Starbucks souvenirs we’ve seen in a while is in Disney World right now, and it is an item that will sell out FAST.
It’s no secret that one of the most iconic snacks in Disney World is Dole Whip. It’s a CLASSIC!
Swirls on the Water
Since 1984 (WOW can you believe it’s been that long?), Disney World has been serving up Dole Whips in a variety of flavors, and there is pretty much a flavor for EVERYONE. Of course, we have our favorites (and we bet you have yours). This is also why we LOVE Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs because there is ALWAYS a new Dole Whip snack to try…or even a SAMPLER of Dole Whips. So come with us while we try FIVE Dole Whip snacks for, well, SCIENCE.
Are you planning a trip to Disney World in 2024?
TRON Lighting Lane
You’re probably trying to work up your budget if you are, and that might include the price of Genie+ (which is hard to predict because of its surge pricing). You might even have some rides on your priority list that you’re willing to pay EXTRA for with the Individual Lightning Lane. But which rides will even have Individual Lightning Lane in 2024? Here’s what we know.
Ever take an embarrassing amount of photos, only to realize that your finger was blocking a part of the camera lens? That’s the WORST, right? Especially when you’re trying to quickly snap family photos in Disney World before your family runs away (because “the sun is in their eyes” 🙄). If only there was a professional you could ask!
Toy Story Land
Um, actually, there is! Disney offers a special service called Capture Your Moment, which gets you a 20-minute private photo session with a Disney PhotoPass photographer. It’s not cheap, but if you want quality, professional photos, this might be your best bet. Now, a NEW location has been added to Disney’s Capture Your Moment service — let’s take a look!
