From don’t miss the Harry Potter stuff to don’t expect to find any MAGIC in Disney World…
…we’re going through some bad – and some controversial – Disney advice that you’ve been given over the years.
Have you ever wondered what Disney World dark rides look like with the lights on? It might ruin the magic for some people, but it sure is interesting to see more about how these rides work!
The lights come on during rides sometimes when there are technical difficulties and guests end up having to be evacuated, or if they’re just stuck for a few moments. This happened to us briefly on Splash Mountain recently, and we know it’s happened to some people while on Space Mountain when it’s been evacuated (seeing that coaster with the lights on will change your view of it forever!). But, not many people have seen the inside of a famous park icon with the lights on, until now!
Planning for Disney World can be overwhelming, to say the least, and it’s HIGHLY likely you will forget certain things!
You’ve got a LOT on your plate when it comes to preparing for your magical vacation, so inevitably there will be things that get overlooked. And that’s totally okay! We’re going to share some of them with you so that you have a better chance of not forgetting said things!
When it came out in 2019, The Mandalorian took the world by storm, and Baby Yoda (or Grogu…but really, he’ll always be Baby Yoda to us) was a large part of that. We’ve seen a lot of Baby Yoda merchandise since then, from spirit jerseys to plush toys.
If you’re still shopping to fill those Easter baskets, you’ll want to check out this new The Mandalorian item from Target, if you’ve got any fans of Baby Yoda in your life (or you can buy it for yourself, we won’t judge).
Over the past 2 years, we’ve seen a variety of requirements and regulations throughout Disney World due to the ongoing global pandemic. When the parks first reopened in July of 2020, temperature screenings were in effect, as well as physical distancing and mandatory face masks almost everywhere. That has now changed to masks being optional in most locations for vaccinated guests, with some exceptions (such as on enclosed transportation).
Another health and safety measure we’ve seen around Disney World is plexiglass barriers up in a lot of spots where guests would be close to each other or to a Cast Member. Some of that has been removed, but some has remained up in the parks, so let’s take a look at the current plexiglass situation in Disney World!
What’s the worst part of a Disney World vacation? The moment when you realize you have to walk all the way back to your car at the end of a long night? Waiting for a bus after a day spent in the humidity and rain? Dropping your DOLE Whip on the floor accidentally? Or maybe it’s one specific thing…having to say goodbye. 😢
Checking out of your Disney World hotel can give you some serious post-Disney blues. But, soon the way you check out of your Disney World hotel could be CHANGING!
It’s officially springtime in Disney World and that means Spring Break crowds!
Not only that, but we’re still in the midst of the 2022 Flower & Garden Festival, which tends to draw crowds due to the mouth-watering food options and the absolutely gorgeous floral topiary displays. We braved the crowds and took a stroll throughout EPCOT recently to check out everything new there was to see and do — let’s check it out!
Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill has flooded headlines recently, particularly as it relates to Disney’s response to the situation.
Disney issued an initial response, which was then followed by a memo from Disney CEO Bob Chapek. That was then followed by statements from Chapek during the shareholder meeting, an apology from Chapek, and further comments. We previously shared that some Disney employees had been planning walkouts for today, March 22nd, and we shared an updated look at those walkouts this morning. Now, we’ve got photos, videos, and more information of what took place.
This year’s Flower and Garden Festival bracket forced our readers to make some tough choices. We asked our readers on Instagram to VOTE on their favorite festival eats. The bracket started with 64 of the most popular food and drink items from this year’s festival and, over the past several days have been whittling them down until only one remained.
And now, without further ado, let’s get on with the winner of this year’s competition.
We’re here to tell you that you’ve been doing character dining WRONG in Disney World.
Chef Mickey’s is a classic, and Tusker House has some super unique (and tasty) dishes. Crystal Palace can be cute with all the Winnie the Pooh characters, and Storybook Dining at Artist Point has a villain AND a forest. But we personally feel like none of those places can top the restaurant we’re visiting today. Have we got your attention? [Read more…]
