food IS a theme park
Do you have an upcoming trip to Disney World?
Suitcases at Disney World
If you are wondering what you should pack, we have you covered! We go to Disney World every day and trust us, you will not want to leave home without these things.
Crowds are certainly HIGH around Disney World right now, thanks to holiday vacationers and people preparing to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Disney World. We don’t foresee that changing any time soon.
Magic Kingdom Crowds
This is typically one of, if not THE busiest time of year in Disney World. Many attractions reach hours-long waits that we don’t see any other time of year. You’re shoulder-to-shoulder with hundreds of strangers, and stress levels are at an all-time high. However, even as these crowds start to dissipate at the end of next week, we know wait times for this one attraction will stay high — here’s why.
It’s no secret that the holiday season is a very busy time in Disney World.
Lightning Lane at Expedition Everest
That’s especially true now that we’re getting closer to New Year’s Eve. In fact, we’ve already seen park pass reservations sell out at three of Disney World’s parks. We also expected to see Lightning Lane Multi Pass to sell out, at least for the more popular parks (like Magic Kingdom, for example), but today…Lightning Lane Multi Pass sold out for Disney World’s least popular park — and y’all, this was not on our 2024 bingo card.
Leaving Disney World is definitely bittersweet.
Magic Kingdom
After days of magic, fireworks, and snacks galore, checkout day sneaks up faster than you can say “Mickey pretzel.” While Disney does a great job of handling the details, there are a few “unwritten rules” you’ll want to keep in mind as you pack up and prepare to head home. These will help to make your departure day smooth, stress-free, and maybe even a little magical.
Swimming in Disney World may not be your first priority during the winter months of the year when it’s chillier, but come spring, summer, and fall, it’s a great way to keep cool on your resort day or take a quick dip when you get back from a long day at the parks.
Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Beach Club
There are a lot of fantastic pools around Disney World, but one that’s considered to the best of the best is Stormalong Bay Pool at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. Yes, both resorts share the pool, but it’s certainly big enough! This pool features incredible amenities like a sand pool bottom, a waterslide, and so much more. However, if you’re planning to visit in 2025, there’s something you need to know — it’s going to be CLOSED for half the year!
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2025, there’s a lot of preparing you need to do.
Magic Kingdom
You’ve gotta plan your dates, where you want to stay, what parks you’d like to visit on which days, and of course, what to pack. Picking the right bag can be harder than you think, which is why we’re here! If you’re deciding what to bring in 2025, we’ve got the perfect recommendation for you — and you’ll be seeing this bag or similar ones all over the parks in 2025!
A Disney World food court has FINALLY completely reopened!
World Premiere Food Court
We’re so excited to share that World Premiere Food Court is completely done with its refurbishment. This was a multi-month long project that has come to an end with the reopening of Rialto, the coffee and ice cream shop inside the food court. However, while this food court’s refurbishment is over, we’re still waiting for another one to wrap up.
World Premiere Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort has been under refurbishment for several months.
World Premiere Food Court
Most recently, the food court was nearly finished getting refurbished, with only the coffee shop, Rialto, still being completed. We’ve been watching and waiting for this multi-month-long closure to finally come to an end, and now it officially has! Along with Rialto’s return also came some NEW snacks, so, of course, we had to go try them all.
We’ve got great news for guests staying at Disney World’s All-Star Movies Resort soon!
World Premiere Food Court
Many of the Value Resorts around Disney World have been undergoing refurbishments over the past few months, specifically the All-Star Resorts. The World Premiere Food Court at All-Star Movies Resort began its refurbishment back in July, and it FINALLY just completed the final stage of its revamp!
