food IS a theme park
This one is for all you caffeine fiends who NEED Starbucks when you visit Magic Kingdom.
Do you need Starbucks in Magic Kingdom?
Don’t worry, we’re the same way! Here’s the thing, though — there are a lot of times when the Starbucks in Magic Kingdom (aka Main Street Bakery) has a line that’s longer than some ride lines! You COULD go to Joffrey’s instead if you’re not totally loyal to Starbucks, but if you want STARBUCKS coffee, there’s a better time to get it.
Planning your next Disney trip?

We know there are so many things to have in mind when traveling with little ones. You’re constantly on the lookout for all of those travel essentials to take the stress out of the trip. We’ve got you covered! We found an option that you may want to consider if you need the gear while on your trip, but you aren’t able to get at all to your destination.
Disney World is home to countless character meals — but are they all the same?
Snow White
The answer is a big ol’ “no” from us. In fact, there’s one character meal in Disney World that checks almost every box we’ve got — and we’re certainly not the only ones who think so. According to just about everyone, this character meal is practically perfect.Â
There’s a special kind of Disney World visitor that always gets into the parks for free without a ticket or park pass reservation — and NO one seems to mind.
The original Disney ducks
No, we’re not talking about Mickey and his friends (because, well, they WORK there). No, we’re not even talking about celebrities (although these visitors are celebs in their own way). Nope, we’re talking about Disney ducks, who we’re all — let’s face it — a little obsessed with. So we’re about to share even more Disney duck cuteness with you.
Just when we thought that we were getting the hang of things and had a good system going with Genie+ and how to use it, Disney went and announced that it would be changing.
Have you used Genie+?
Now that we’ve had some time to get used to the updates, we know a little bit more about what we can expect from the new system. And, if you’re still wondering how you’re going to manage when you use it on your next trip — we’re here to help.
There’s a BIG holiday coming up in Disney World this week.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
Yep, we’re talking about the Fourth of July, which will bring some new excitement to Disney World. There will be an addition to EPCOT Forever over in EPCOT to celebrate, and Magic Kingdom will have a SPECIAL patriotic fireworks display. There are also special snacks to check out that were made especially for the holiday. However, if you wanted to BE in Magic Kingdom for the fourth, we’ve got some bad news.
So you managed to snag a Virtual Queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Congrats! You’re on your way to entering the grid. You’ll soon be racing through eight Energy Gates to claim a victory against the menacing Team Orange. And, with a Virtual Queue, you won’t have to wait in a standby line, so you’ll be able to breeze right through to the ride once your group is called — right? Well, not exactly.
Imagine you’ve just arrived at Magic Kingdom. You’ve been planning this trip for ages, and now you’re HERE! You walk down Main Street, U.S.A., drinking in all the sights and sounds. Incredible smells are wafting out of the Confectionery. But there’s no time to stop — you head straight for your favorite ride. But what’s this? What’s happened? The ride is CLOSED?!
Main Street
Encountering unexpected ride closures can be one of the most disappointing parts of a Disney World vacation. Sometimes those closures pop up suddenly due to bad weather in the area or technical difficulties, but others are planned ahead of time, so you can prepare for them! To help you prepare, we’ve got a full list of next week’s planned ride and restaurant closures.
