No One's Talking About this NEW Magic Kingdom Cast Member Thing, But They Should Be

No One’s Talking About this NEW Magic Kingdom Cast Member Thing, But They Should Be

There has been a change on Main Street, U.S.A., recently, but it may not be very obvious to some.

Main Street

Disney World has seen so many changes over the last few years! From additions like Tron Lightcycle / Run and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom to the completion of the EPCOT Transformation, Disney World has been in a state of change. And this is good. Walt once said that Disneyland will never be completed, and the same goes for Disney World! Well, recently, there was a new change on Main Street, but this time, it benefitted Cast Members!

Magic Kingdom Is Completely SOLD OUT on an Important Day This Week

By Sara McOmber Leave a Comment

This weekend is going to be a BUSY one at Magic Kingdom!

Main Street U.S.A. Train Station

It can be tough to predict how busy a Disney World theme park will be on any given day, but there are a few indicators that the experts know to watch for. For example, holidays or days when many people have work and school off are almost always very busy. Also, if park passes are sold out for Annual Passholders and other select ticket holders, you know that lots of people are planning to visit the parks. On one day this week, both of those are true!

The One Disney World Rule That Does NOT Apply to Disneyland

By David Goodkind 2 Comments

We are constantly visiting both Disney World and Disneyland and one thing is for certain — both resorts are VASTLY different!

Disneyland

Disney World and Disneyland have a ton of differences. Featuring different accommodations, attractions, dining options, and entertainment, visiting each resort will result in wildly different experiences. In fact, if you’re a Disney World pro planning a trip to Disneyland, there’s one major rule you can almost always ignore!

Don’t Even TRY To Rope Drop This Ride in Disney World

By Robin Burks 1 Comment

EVERYONE has their own park strategy for Disney World, especially when it comes to rides.

Magic Kingdom entrance

Many of us are not going to get up early to rope drop, no matter what (we like our sleep). We’ll just get Genie+ (Disney’s paid skip-the-line service) and hit a ride’s Lightning Lane (the exclusive, paid, shorter line) later if it’s available (although with the new Genie+ changes, sleeping in may be a bit more convenient). Others are going to be at the parks BEFORE they open, either using Early Theme Park Entry, or standing in line at the front gates to get in for rope drop — then we’re going to speed walk to our favorite attractions. If you fall into that latter category, there’s one ride in Disney World you won’t be able to rope drop — even if you try.

By Robin Burks 2 Comments

Okay, we’re sorry to have to break the news, but we come to you with lots of Disney World changes this week.

Experiment 626 Cone

We know everyone is still REELING over the HUGE Genie+ changes, not to mention those food changes at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom (oh, Fruit and Nutella Waffle Sandwich, we will MISS you so much). That, along with last week’s big missing hushpuppies news is enough to leave our brains fried, but we’ve still got MORE changes to tell you about, this time on menus at Disney World restaurants.

BREAKING: Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Closure Ends During SURPRISE SOFT OPENING in Disney World

By Madeleine Zaharchuk Leave a Comment

Hellloooo, Hollywood! We love the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. You’ve got gorgeous hotels, some great rock ‘n’ roll shows, and a stunning theater. But speaking of rock ‘n’ roll shows, who wants some backstage passes?

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Now, we’ve been itching to catch an Aerosmith concert at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for MONTHS. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has been closed since January, and we recently learned that the ride would be opening on July 1st. But thanks to a DFB tip on Instagram, we decided to visit Hollywood Studios EARLY to see what’s rockin’ at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Boy, were we in for a GOOD surprise!

FULL LIST of Shows on the Disney Magic Cruise Ship

By Sara McOmber Leave a Comment

There are a few key things that set Disney’s cruise ships apart from other cruise lines. One thing is the theming — Kids love meeting their favorite characters, like Mickey and Minnie, on board! Another perk is the destinations, because on certain cruises you get to go to Disney’s private island destinations, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and Castaway Cay. But one of the biggest reasons why people choose Disney over other cruise lines is the incredible entertainment!

Disney Magic

The evening shows on Disney cruise ships are beautifully done. The stories are enchanting, the characters are familiar and fun, and the music is excellent! We recently sailed on the Disney Magic, one of the older Disney cruise ships, and really enjoyed the whole experience, especially those shows. Here’s a FULL LIST of all the evening shows, with our review of each one included!

UPDATE: Hurricane Beryl Upgraded to “Extremely Dangerous” Category 4 Storm

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Being in Disney World a lot, particularly in the summer, means we have to keep an eye on the hurricane situation.

Rain on Main Street

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th, which means Florida is often in the path of such storms. This year’s hurricane season has been predicted to be more active than previous years, and the first hurricane of the season, Hurricane Beryl, is already barreling its way through the Atlantic toward Barbados as a Category 4 storm.
