food IS a theme park
If you want to visit Disney World in October, there’s one thing you need to prepare for — CROWDS.
Magic Kingdom
From visitors coming to Disney World for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, there’s a lot to do in October — and the wait times don’t lie. Last week wait times were holding steady as the holiday approached, but what about this week?
When it comes to ears, there are PLENTY to choose from!
Magic Kingdom
If you’re a big fan of Disney merchandise, you probably know that Disney is constantly releasing new collections. From the latest Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collections to the newest Disney x Vans collaboration, there is a lot to buy! Now, we found some new Mickey ears in Magic Kingdom that are fit for royalty.
We’ve said it before, but Disney World is constantly changing — and in more ways than one.
EPCOT
Hundreds of price increases just hit the parks, and even Genie+ has gone through yet another update. But today, we’re talking about some positive changes because it’s time to take another look at the biggest construction updates from around Disney World this week!
The year 2020 provided some unique challenges for Disney World, especially after the parks were closed for several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the parks reopened, capacity was limited, but since then, a lot has changed.
Disney World
Capacity in the parks is back up (although park pass reservations are still required and are probably not going away anytime soon), and with the 50th anniversary celebration, along with some new attractions, guests have been returning to the parks in droves. But what does attendance look like as compared to pre-pandemic levels?
As we get closer and closer to Halloween, Disney World is getting more and more busy!
Allll the Halloween vibes in Magic Kingdom right now!
And, it’s totally understandable, because there are a lot of things to do! You can take a look at all of the holiday decor, eat spooky treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and more. But, if you’re going to the parks soon, it’s necessary to take a look at the calendar before you go. And, don’t forget that you still need a Park Pass Reservation to get into the parks — so we’ve compiled that info right here just for you!
Disney Springs has some seriously underrated snacks!
Disney Springs
From delicious sundaes at Ghiradelli to hidden grape churros, and even a few holiday favorites, Disney Springs has treats and snacks for almost everyone. Today we found another reason that has us running to Disney Springs!
This week brought some HUGE changes to Disney World.
Disney Genie
First, we saw price increases on everything from Minnie Ears to water to food. Then, we learned that Genie+ would begin using flexible pricing, with a max of $22 per day on busier days. Well, as of today, we’ve officially reached that max price for the service.
Pizza is one of our FAVORITE things to order in Disney World, although not all slices are created equally.
Pizza!
Some of our favorite pizza places include Via Napoli in EPCOT, Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza, and Pizza Ponte in Disney Springs, and the pizza window (known as Pizza al Taglio) in EPCOT, if you’re lucky to catch it open. And today diners got a BIG pizza surprise in Disney Springs!
If you’ve been keeping up with Disney World news over the past several months, then you’ve likely heard at least a little of the drama with the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

The Reedy Creek Improvement District was first established in 1968, allowing Disney World to operate as its own government, giving the property things like its own fire department, special taxing laws, and more power over the land it controls. After Disney spoke out against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Law (what critics called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill), a bill was introduced and quickly signed into law that will dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District in June 2023 unless a resolution is reached before then. So if Reedy Creek is abolished, what happens next?
