Disney World is constantly changing, but many of these changes become controversial according to fans.

Genie+

Remember when the barges for Harmonious first appeared on the World Showcase Lagoon in EPCOT? A controversy. When Disney World discontinued Magical Express? Don’t even talk about it. And then there was Genie+ — Disney’s paid replacement for the free FastPass service. Now that Genie+ has been around for a while, we’ve mastered the skip-the-line service and we’re here to tell you when it’s worth it and when you should save your money.

Disney World has so many secrets.

Magic Kingdom views from Contemporary Resort

Each park has its own secrets buried in its history, but there are also secret things you may not know you can do, or landmarks you pass by, not realizing the significance they hold. Did you know that one tree in Bay Lake holds a TON of history on its branches?

REMINDER: A Disney World Restaurant is CLOSING This Week

By 3 Comments

If you’ve visited Disney’s BoardWalk, you’ve probably visited or at least heard of Trattoria al Forno, a restaurant that specializes in Italian cuisine and even has a giant pizza oven where visitors can see the food being prepared. (There’s even a spot where you can walk up and grab some pizza — quick-service style!)

I spy some pizza in there!

The BoardWalk is a fan-favorite area at Disney World, as it’s curated to feel like a vintage New England boardwalk while still having subtle elements of Disney magic. It’s gone under quite a lot of construction lately to allow for new additions as well as refurbishments. This week, Trattoria al Forno will close for the same reason!

What’s Going On With This Popular Snack in Magic Kingdom?

By Leave a Comment

Okay, so we KNOW that Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is over, but we really didn’t want to say goodbye to some of our favorite snacks from the event.

Westward Ho in Magic Kingdom

We DID get a little lucky in that some treats DID stick around, like the Glimmer and Shimmer Blondie in Hollywood Studios. Wendell’s Bear Claw in Magic Kingdom also stuck around — for a while — but then it was gone for what we thought was FOREVER. BUT…that snack showed back up TODAY and now we’re like, “WHAT?“

Magic Kingdom

But what if you follow a specific diet? Disney has recently stepped up its game when it comes to allergy-friendly, gluten-free, and even plant-based dishes — and we just found one that might blow them all out of the water.

DON’T PANIC, But Sonny Eclipse Has Gone MISSING in Disney World (Again)

By 1 Comment

Sure, Mickey is classic, and getting to meet him in Disney World can be magical.

Hey, Mickey!

But some of our favorite characters are the ones who might not come to mind as easily when you think of the House of the Mouse. We’ve seen the hippos from Fantasia in the Easter Parade, hugged Baloo and King Louie during Earth Month, and were even lucky enough to jam out with TRON Goofy during a media event this year. When we’re in Magic Kingdom, we often like to stop by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe to say hello to the quirky Sonny Eclipse while we chow down on a burger and fries. This audio-animatronic alien crooner is an icon at this establishment, but today, he went MISSING.
