food IS a theme park
Disney World has already been affected by Hurricane Ian this year, and now a new storm is forcing closures, cancellations, and more.
Tropical Storm Nicole is expected to make landfall on Florida’s East Coast early Thursday morning. And Disney World is making plans now to deal with the potentially severe weather.
Grab your stretchy pants — Disney World has a lot of holiday treats to try!
The holidays are here!
There will be plenty of cupcakes and other sweet treats, and there will even be some savory snacks. We’ve made our way into the parks today to taste a bunch of the delicious new items, and Aloha Isle was our first stop!
We are watching as a storm system spins toward the East Coast of Florida.
Magic Kingdom crowds
Nicole has now officially been upgraded to a tropical storm, and is projected to be a Category 1 hurricane before it makes landfall.
There are so many holiday traditions that we all love and cherish, and Disney has a unique way of putting its own special twist on those traditions.
Gingerbread is one of those iconic holiday treats, and Disney World’s popular life-size Gingerbread House is one of those iconic spots during the holidays. We love watching its construction, breathing in the gingerbread-scented air, and of course, buying gingerbread treats from its little store window.
As Olaf would say, “Happy merry holly jolly seasons greetings here!”
Magic Kingdom’s Christmas Tree!
It’s time for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to kick off in Disney World, and we’re ready to check out the celebrations! This is the first year the party has taken place officially since 2019, and many guests are EXCITED. (Tickets are already selling out!) So to get ya ready, we’re sharing the list of things that you can get for FREE at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
A Tropical Storm system approaching Central Florida is prompting closures and other changes at Disney World today.
Tropical Storm Ian
If you were planning to visit a Disney World park later this week, that Subtropical Storm named Nicole may affect your plans.
We have been watching Subtropical Storm Nicole as it has approached Florida’s East Coast, and it is now close enough to begin potentially affecting your Disney World vacation plans later this week.
Tropical Storm Ian
Disney World has announced the closure of some of its resorts, and the cancellation of a dinner show later this week as Subtropical Storm Nicole is expected to make landfall on Florida’s East Coast as a hurricane. Now we are also seeing park and attraction closures.
Disney World can be very overwhelming.
Crowds in Disney World
It’s not a pleasant truth, but it’s the truth nonetheless. Disney World is huge, it takes a decent amount of planning, and there are usually a lot of people in the parks. We have tips and guides to help you with all of this, but sometimes you can just find yourself feeling very anxious while in the parks, specifically in Magic Kingdom due to the crowds. So, we have a list of some places that we’d recommend checking out if you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just need a breather for a few minutes while you’re in the park.
UPDATE: Disney World has planned a phased closure for all the theme parks beginning at 5PM on November 9th. Some hotels will be closed as well — see the details below.
Tropical Storm Nicole — which is currently forecasted to become a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall on Florida’s east coast — is changing plans at Disney World.
In an announcement posted on their website Tuesday morning, Disney World said they are currently operating normally, but that closures starting tomorrow will affect the vacations of some guests.
It’s no secret that visiting Disney World during the holiday season can be truly magical.
