Hello from The Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow, more commonly known as EPCOT, which just celebrated its 40th birthday!
China in World Showcase
EPCOT has been a flurry of activity for several years, thanks to a massive transformation. Something is ALWAYS going on here, and most recently, the biggest update is that the Christmas tree has arrived here! But we’ve also spotted some new merchandise and other updates, so let’s see what’s new!
The holidays are here in Disney World, but not every event has kicked off yet!
EPCOT Christmas Tree!
While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has already begun, there’s another major celebration that won’t be here until after Thanksgiving — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! The festival starts on November 25th and we already know about the entertainment, food booths, and more. And now, we have a FIRST LOOK at the Festival of the Holidays merchandise coming SOON!
There’s a NEW addition to the Annual Passholder entrance at Magic Kingdom!

Being a Disney World Annual Passholder not only gets you entry to the theme parks — you often get access to exclusive merchandise, special Magic Shots, and other perks. We often see a separate line at the park entrances for Annual Passholders, and today we noticed something different in this line. [Read more…]
We may be enjoying the last few days of EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, but there’s another fest just around the corner!

It can be easy to get caught up in the more negative things about Disney World right now, like the large crowds, price increases, and more. But, we’re here to remind you that there IS still magic happening in the parks, people!
Evening in the Magic Kingdom
That sprinkle of pixie dust from a Cast Member, snow falling on Main Street, U.S.A., seeing Tinker Bell fly over Magic Kingdom for the first time — all of these things are still happening, and they can make the stress of planning your Disney World trip feel like it was worth it. And, we were lucky enough to witness a really awesome moment in the parks recently! [Read more…]

A number of price increases have hit Disney World lately, on everything from food to Genie+. But more price changes are on the way.
