food IS a theme park
We go to Disney World every day, so we’ve learned a lot of great hacks and tricks for getting around the parks.
Monorail at Transportation and Ticket Center
That’s why we’re always sharing things like our favorite bathrooms (yeah, that’s OUR THING — we have favorite bathrooms), favorite hacks for getting around Disney World, and our favorite secret paths to get around the parks faster. Well, we also have a favorite way to get to Magic Kingdom faster, BUT right now, that way is closed. BOO.
There’s a reason Disney Adults love going to EPCOT. This park has it all — one of the BEST thrill rides in Disney World, some of the BEST food, and the BEST character meet-and-greets. There’s something for everyone!
EPCOT
As a former EPCOT Cast Member, it’s safe to say I know a lot about that park. I know which water bottle refill stations to avoid (I still can’t get over that funky Florida water taste) and which characters tend to attract the longest lines. I also know how to pack the perfect park bag for a trip to EPCOT, and it’s time I share my theme park essentials! If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you might want to bring these items to the parks.
Are you planning on spending New Year’s Eve at Disney World?
2024 New Year’s Hat
While New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest days at Disney World, it’s clearly popular for a reason. Tons of people enjoy ringing in the new year at the Most Magical Place on Earth, and we understand why! It’s a very special way to start the brand-new year, especially with the New Year events scheduled at many locations. Typically, we see fireworks and countdowns at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, but this year, you can celebrate the beginning of 2025 with a bang at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well!
Working out, getting in shape, eating healthy, and overall health and wellness are popular New Year’s resolutions every year.

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1st, 2025, will you be resolving to dedicate your new year to a new you? To help you get a jump start on your New Year’s resolution of wellness, Disney Springs is offering lots of fun, can’t-miss opportunities for Wellness Month!
Disney World’s pay-to-skip-the-line service has changed, and if you are looking for the best tips, we have you covered!
Lightning Lane at Peter Pan’s Flight
Last summer, Genie+ transitioned into Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane turned into Lightning Lane Single Pass. While both Multi and Single Pass help you spend less time waiting in line, the new service takes inspiration from its predecessor, FastPass+.
Disney World isn’t the only theme park resort making some huge changes in 2025.
Universal Studios Florida
Universal Orlando has a pretty big year ahead of it, too, especially with the opening of Epic Universe in May. However, some other big changes seem to be coming to Univeral Orlando, too, and we recently uncovered a permit suggesting that a classic roller coaster would be getting demolished soon. Well, Universal Orlando has now confirmed that this ride will be closing next year.
We MADE it! I KNEW we would!
Dinosaur
We’ve now got another year in the BOOKS, my friends — but when it comes to Disney, the decisions that were made in 2024 are gonna make a HUGE impact in the parks from here on out…for better or for worse.
There are a ton of fantastic restaurants on Disney World property.
Gasparilla
It’s our mission to try them all to tell you what is and isn’t worth your hard-earned money. One of our favorite spots is actually located at one of Disney World’s hotels, and we know we’re not the only ones who are shocked that this restaurant doesn’t get more love — especially because it’s at one of Disney’s most popular resorts!
There are A LOT of changes coming to Disney World in the coming years! Many of these announcements have been the center of many discussions, including the new Cars attractions in Magic Kingdom or the retheme of DinoLand, U.S.A. to Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
However, amongst the multitude of announcements Disney has made, there are a few that haven’t been talked about as much. We want to make sure you know about these more under-the-radar announcements, as they could impact your next Disney World trip!
It’s no secret that the holiday season and holidays, in general, are among the busiest times in Disney World, which means crowds, crowds, CROWDS.

So here’s the thing: Believe it or not, Disney World’s theme parks do have capacity limits (although they aren’t quite as limited as what we saw after Disney World’s reopening in 2020). Now, we’ll have to tell you that the parks don’t reach that limit often (and yes, that means you’ll often be in the parks shoulder to shoulder with everyone else), but sometimes they do. Well, what happens when a park sells out? What’s that about? We’re going to tell you!
