Lots of changes are coming to Disney World in July and some of those changes have to do with Independence Day. We’ve learned that a limited-time fireworks experience is returning to EPCOT! In addition to the 4th of July fireworks that will be offered in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT will be the only other park to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks. [Read more…]
Boo to you! Yes, we know it’s summer, but we are so ready for Halloween in Disney World.
Halloween in Disney World
From the spooky decorations (gotta’ love those Mickey pumpkin wreaths) to the FOOD (oh, yes, the GLORIOUS food) to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, what’s not to love? Well, we now have yet another reason to love Halloween in Disney World — not to mention a NEW reason to buy tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
After quite literally waiting years for the Disney Dining Plan to return, it will finally be back in early 2024.
Full Spread
But, since it’s been a while, we’ve been doing our best to bring you our top tips on how to make the most of the Dining Plan. We’ve covered why you definitely should buy it, and we’ve even talked about why you shouldn’t buy it. And now, we’re sharing what we think are hands down the three best values on the Disney Dining Plan.
One of the best perks of staying in a Disney World hotel is the free transportation!
Disney Springs
Between the monorail, Skyliner, buses, and boats — there are plenty of options. But sometimes, not all options are available when you need them. This was the case in early June when transportation to and from Disney Springs to some hotels via boat was suspended, forcing folks to find other means. Cast Members shared conflicting stories about the halted service, but we’re not too worried anymore as the boats are running once again!
Sure, EPCOT has a lot of fun rides, but do we really go to EPCOT JUST for the rides?
World Showcase is BEAUTIFUL
We also go for the food (obviously), mostly because we can literally eat and drink our way around the World (Showcase) in a single day! But within each World Showcase country pavilion are Cast Members FROM that country, and some of these international Cast Members recently shared some… interesting facts with us about where they’re from.
Not ALL Disney World trip planning advice is GOOD advice.
We’re about to tell you to ignore some advice
If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know that we like to give advice on how to plan a Disney World trip. We’ll usually tell you how to budget, how to pack, and how to tackle your days in the parks. We’re not the only ones giving you advice, though, are we? You might get some “tips” from family and friends, but some of that advice should be ignored.
From one day to the next, Disney World is changing.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
We’ve recently seen quite a few updates come to Disney Springs, especially when it comes to retail stores moving or closing altogether. But, over near EPCOT, another store appears to have closed — for good.
Disney World is always so BUSY with construction, re-theming, and refurbishments.
BoardWalk
It’s like when a new restaurant gets announced, then one gets closed for a re-theme, while another undergoes refurbishment and then reopens. There’s always a LOT going on. Well, we’ve got some details about TWO dining spots in Disney World. Both locations have been closed for a while, but now they’ve both reopened! Oh, happy day!
Disney World has some iconic snacks.
All-Star Sports
Whether you’re starting your day on Main Street with a Mickey-shaped Cinnamon Roll or staring up at the castle with a Mickey Bar in hand, the parks have some tasty treats to enjoy. But Magic Kingdom isn’t the only place to get a fun snack (although it does have quite a few Mickey-shaped treats). Recently, Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort added some NEW items to their food court menu and I had to check them out. Come see how it went!
Listen, we know you’ve probably heard it all before.
Magic Kingdom
There are plenty of tips, tricks, hacks, and more out there to help you have the best Disney World trip possible. We know — we sort of wrote the book on it. But what about rules you might need to know on your Disney World trip? What makes sense for one visit might not make sense for the next, and if you’re heading to the parks soon — we’re sharing five big rules you need to know.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
