By Leave a Comment

A fan-favorite meet-and-greet has FINALLY returned to Magic Kingdom, so come along with us to check it out!

Tomorrowland

Lately, guests at Disney World have been very excited about the new meet-and-greet over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Moana has made her debut in that park, and the line to meet her can be HOURS long. (We recommend rope-dropping that attraction if you’re hoping to meet her without waiting too long.) But now, there’s a different character to get excited about over in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom.

The Maleficent Dragon Fire Effect Is BACK at the Magic Kingdom Parade

By 3 Comments

One of the coolest effects has finally returned to the Festival of Fantasy parade in Magic Kingdom.

Disney World’s Festival of Fantasy parade

Back in April, the Maleficent dragon caught fire during a showing of Fantasmic! in Disneyland. Following the accident, Disney made the call to temporarily suspend similar fire effects at all Disney parks for a while. Disney’s statement said, “We are temporarily suspending fire effects similar to those used at Disneyland Park’s Fantasmic! at select shows and entertainment experiences globally out of an abundance of caution following the Fantasmic! prop fire at Disneyland Park.” That meant that the Maleficent dragon’s fire-breathing effect at the Magic Kingdom parade in Disneyland was temporarily paused. But now it’s back! [Read more…]

By 1 Comment

You’ll want to pay close attention to a small (but mighty) detail at Disney World!

TRON Cast Member

Disney World Cast Members received a new upgrade to their costumes. Disney frequently updates Cast Member uniforms, like the time they changed the Photopass photographer shirts. This new change is pretty small, so you’ll have to really look hard to find it! [Read more…]

CHANGES Made to Hotel Booking Process at Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Sure, the Disney World theme parks are fun…but the HOTELS are where it’s at!

Polynesian Village Resort

Staying at a Disney World hotel allows you to get into the parks early and stay late (and these perks have been extended through 2024!) and they provide free transportation to the parks. Not only that, but many have restaurants that are destinations on their own, and new upgrades are being added constantly. Now, it looks like the booking process for Disney World hotels will be getting a major overhaul!

Why You Definitely Shouldn’t Buy the Disney Dining Plan in 2024

By Leave a Comment

Gearing up for a 2024 Disney World vacation? Ooooh, golly, then you’ll definitely want to know about some BIG changes that have hit the scene this year…

“I’M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!”

One of the absolute biggest updates is the return of the Disney Dining Plan, which had been suspended since the Resort reopened in 2020 following its temporary closure. (Similar to some of the other changes — like those coming to Park Pass reservations — this change took effect for stays starting January 9, 2024.) So we thought we’d take the time now to discuss why you should not buy the Disney Dining Plan. [Read more…]

NEW Exclusive DISCOUNT Announced for Disney Springs-Area Hotel

By Leave a Comment

Looking to stay in Disney World for CHEAPER?

Disney Springs

Hotels in Disney World are expensive, so why not stay at a good neighbor hotel instead? These are hotels that are located on Disney World property but aren’t owned by Disney (so they’re generally cheaper). Sometimes those can get a little pricy as well, especially during busy times like summer break, but one hotel is now offering a discount for a limited time!

Families Are SKIPPING Disney World This Summer — Here’s Why

By 18 Comments

For many families, summer is the most logical time to go on vacation. School’s out, the weather is nice, and those holiday weekends make it easier to take off work. Often, Disney World sees a spike in park attendance come summer, so it’s no surprise that many families plan to visit Orlando between June and August. 

EPCOT

Although summer is a popular time of year for Disney World, some may be questioning their summer plans in the parks this year. Let’s talk about it.
