If you are heading to EPCOT soon, make sure you have a Park Pass reservation.
EPCOT
Every guest needs a park reservation in addition to their ticket to enter a Disney World park. This change came after the closure of Disney World in 2020 and has remained in place. While the reservation system is set to change in January 2024, you must still make a reservation for now. This is important to make your reservations ahead of time as some parks can fill up or “sell out.”
It’s never too early to start planning a Disney World vacation. In fact, we’ve even warned our readers to AVOID visiting the Disney parks all the way in 2028. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Instead, let’s look at 2024. There are some BIG things happening in Disney World next year (like the return of the famous Disney Dining Plan, the removal of the park pass reservation rule, and much more). But now that revenge travel seems to be over, are tons of people still going to Disney World?

We asked our readers on Facebook if they had any trips planned for Disney World in 2024. Did we get a resounding “NO.“? Were our comments flooded with the word “YES!“? Let’s find out!
LISTEN — Before you cancel us for saying that our loyalty to DOLE Whip might be in danger, we HAVE to show you this “new” treat in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Because you might start to see our point once you understand what’s available here!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’ll always have a place in our hearts for the iconic DOLE Whip flavors throughout Disney World, but given the choice between that classic pineapple treat and the frozen, fruity concoction we just tried…well…it’s a tough call 😬. Hear us out!! [Read more…]

One tool you’ll find yourself using a LOT in Disney World is the My Disney Experience app. This is the official Disney World app, which can be downloaded on your mobile device. The app can help you do a whole bunch of useful things in the parks like check ride wait times, place Mobile Orders, and secure those Genie+ selections. But the app keeps changing and evolving, getting new features that you might have TOTALLY missed out on. So today we’re taking a look at 3 of the newest Disney World app updates/additions to help you make the most of your use of the app.
Out of all the Disney World parks, EPCOT is one that really sticks out to us when it comes to food.
EPCOT
EPCOT is the place to eat for those with adventurous palettes, as you can grab cuisine from each of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase, plus snacks and small plates from the various booths located throughout the parks during the seasonal festivals. While the majority of the restaurants at EPCOT take on a more casual atmosphere, there are TWO restaurants in the park that just feel downright fancy.

If you’re planning to visit or stay at the Grand Floridian Resort in Disney World soon, we’ve got some GREAT news for you!

Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with a lot of great perks, but one fan-favorite perk is something that might seem mundane to someone who’s… well, not a Disney Adult.
Give us all the magnets!
One of the best parts about being a Passholder is having access to the Passholder MAGNETS. Yep, these magnets that you can stick on the back of your car or on your fridge at home are one of the most special parts of having a Pass. Occasionally, you can score limited-edition ones with beloved characters to add to your collection. Speaking of new magnets… Disney just teased a new one coming soon!
