The Festival of the Arts is kicking off in a few weeks at EPCOT, and After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios in January. But one of the first things that’s coming up soon is the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend from runDisney, and we just got a sneak peek at the event merchandise!
With sweets as good as the ones Gideon’s Bakehouse makes, you don’t really need another reason to head to Disney World to check it out.
Look at those spooky & adorable characters!
But if you were looking for one, the theming is worth a trip all by itself! A key part of that theming is the set of spooky character portraits that line some of the spaces within the restaurant, and recently, the artist responsible for the chilling illustrations, Mr. Eyes, shared some EXCITING news!
A Disney Springs store is CLOSING, and it’s closing soon!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has seen a lot of changes over the years — from the transformation of Downtown Disney to Disney Springs, the announcement of new restaurants, and the arrival of new stores. And soon it looks like more changes will be taking place in this shopping and dining district.
Have you already picked up your 2023 Disney ears? Are you looking for an excuse to show them off?
Perfect for the New Year!
Fortunately, the Disney PhotoPass Service has tons of opportunities around the parks for you to capture some magic on your vacation. And now, they’ve released a sparkly new Magic Shot just in time for you to ring in the new year!
From time to time, the unexpected happens in Disney World!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
We’ve seen rides close due to lightning strikes or rogue wildlife, parade floats catch on fire, and our fair share of wild guest antics in the parks. And if you were standing in line for Rise of the Resistance this afternoon, you might have experienced something unprecedented.
There are a truly ridiculous amount of restaurants and snack spots in Disney World.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
How do you even know where to begin? And if you’ve got dietary restrictions, the already overwhelming prospect of picking a Disney World restaurant to eat at can become even more stressful. So, take a seat, put up your feet, and allow us to do the work for you.
We’re heading into 2023 PUMPED UP and ready for the new year!
2023 in DISNEY WORLD!
We’ve got a lot of excitement happening in Disney World in the next 12 months with the opening of TRON Lightcycle Run, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, and more! But before all that happens, we’ve got to make it through January. And there are 5 big things that you definitely don’t want to miss in Disney World this month!
If you are headed to Disney World soon, you’ve probably heard of Disney Genie+.
Lightning Lane signs
Genie+ is a paid service that allows you to book Lightning Lanes — windows when you can skip the line to ride certain attractions. Now, we’re seeing a small change to Disney Genie+ that could make a big difference in your Disney Parks day!
UPDATE: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure has reopened. The ride was down for about an hour due to technical difficulties, according to a Cast Member.
Disney World is BUSY right now, but that’s to be expected. It’s still the holiday season, after all!

There’s also something weird going on at Disney World today, too — while Magic Kingdom had some surprisingly low wait times this morning, EPCOT had some shockingly HIGH wait times. Those wait times might just get a little longer, too, because one popular ride there is currently closed.
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you probably know that it can get super crowded some days.Â
New Years Eve Crowds in 2021!
Disney World requires Park Pass Reservations to try to manage the crowds, and that’s why we tell you to make your reservations as soon as you can — they do sell out!
