In April alone, 2 fireworks shows will go away, 2 other fireworks shows will return, California Grill’s menu will change at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Narcoossee’s will reopen at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. But if you are hoping to visit Narcoossee’s soon, there’s an important update you need to know about.
Are you hip to all the Disney lingo?
Rise of the Resistance
From the plethora of acronyms you’ll need to understand while planning your Disney vacation to the hidden Swahili details you’ll find in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney World is filled with other languages, codes, and slang that only the biggest Disney fans will understand. Sometimes, knowing these codes can even save you some trouble! If you’ve ever been to Disney World and heard “Code 101,” you might know what we’re talking about — and probably had to rethink your plans for the day.
Are you planning a trip to Orlando soon?
Terminal C at MCO
There are plenty of reasons to visit Central Florida this year — specifically Disney World! There’s a new coaster at Magic Kingdom and a new restaurant at Hollywood Studios, plus updates coming to hotels and parks very soon. And if you want to check it all out, we may have some good news…depending on where you live!
Choosing where you’re going to eat during your Magic Kingdom day can be one of the most important decisions you make on your Disney World trip.

And, there’s nothing worse than being caught off guard by something you weren’t quite expecting. At one Magic Kingdom restaurant, you might find yourself not quite where you were expecting to be!
A truly fun part of planning a Walt Disney World vacation is picking which resort hotel you want to stay in! Then again, the choice can also cause of a bit of stress. After all, accommodations are a major part of your vacation expenses. And with OODLES of options to choose from, how do you know which one is the best fit for your traveling group?
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Perhaps you’re trying to decide between two options that look fairly similar at a glance, but a deeper dive into each might help you feel more certain about which one you’re leaning towards. That’s the approach we’re taking today as we compare Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort! [Read more…]
Disney World is HUGE, but don’t worry — there are lots of ways to get where you need to go. You can use the extensive bus system, hop on the Monorail, take a boat, or even use a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. One of the most unique forms of transportation, though, is the Disney Skyliner.
Walt Disney World Skyliner
The Skyliner is Disney’s gondola transportation service that connects two of the theme parks (EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios) to certain hotels. It debuted in 2019 and has run into a few hitches since its opening, but generally it’s a quick, safe, and efficient way to get where you need to go. Even though it’s a safe way to travel, there are a few things you should NEVER do on the Skyliner. [Read more…]
After a long refurbishment, a popular Disney World restaurant is reopening!
Narcoossee’s
Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has been closed since the summer of 2022, but it’s finally reopening on April 1st, 2023. Disney has been working hard at giving this table-service spot a bit of a refresh, and they just shared a first look at the new digs!
It’s officially the end of March, which means Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is ending.
50th Anniversary Statues
After 18 months, the celebration will end on March 31st, 2023, bringing in the new Disney100 Celebration to EPCOT. We’ve already seen some snack and merchandise changes, and we’ve noticed a BIG change on the shopDisney website.
We saw a LOT of changes in Disney World for the 50th Anniversary.
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
When the celebration began in October 2021, we got new decorations, snacks, and merchandise, along with some exclusive entertainment. When the Cinderella Castle stage show returned a few months later, it was updated to be a 50th Anniversary version, with unique costumes and music. But what will happen to Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire now that the celebration is ending?
Today, March 31st, is the LAST DAY of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations!
Cinderella Castle
These celebrations lasted for 18 months (!!) in the parks, and we got to see new snacks, nighttime shows, and everything in between. We were live from the first day of the event, which means we HAD to be live on the last day, so come with us!
