Theme parks like Disney World are increasing capacity as demand soars to pre-pandemic levels. And as a result, we’re already expecting BIG summer crowds.

Disneyland Resort is open again, but some things are different at the parks due to the ongoing pandemic.
It’s a great day to go to Disneyland!
One of the differences is that trams are not currently running between the Mickey and Friends parking structure and the main park gates of the Disneyland Resort. Guests have to walk from where they leave their vehicles to the entrance of the parks, and it can be a bit of a hike! For guests that need extra assistance such as a wheelchair or scooter, one of the locations to rent these devices has changed!
Disneyland knows how to create some interesting — and often, controversial — snacks.
Corn Dog Time!
Sure, we love those iconic snacks like Churros and Mickey beignets, but we’ve always been intrigued with those snacks that make people lose their minds, like the Pizza Bloody Mary or the Pickle Corn Dog.
This weekend marks the official beginning of summer, and yes, it’s really starting to feel like summer here at Disney World (it’s hot, y’all).

Disney’s MagicBands are a fun way to navigate the parks! At the beginning of 2021, they stopped being free for guests with reservations, and will no longer be free for Annual Passholders in a few months.
There are a TON of colors and styles to choose from!
Despite not being free anymore, Disney is still churning out more and more fun designs and colors to spice up your trip! In fact, they have just dropped another one, and it’s sparkly!
