What would you do if you could meet Mary Poppins?
Mary Poppins Meet-and-Greet
Sure, we know, you’ve probably already met Mary Poppins in Disney World or you’ve seen her riding on the carousel in Disneyland. But what if you could talk to the REAL, original Mary Poppins, aka Julie Andrews, who starred in the Disney movie Mary Poppins? Would you lose your mind? Because that’s what happened to one celebrity when she got a surprise call from the Disney Legend herself.
Tomorrowland Terrace used to be a quick-service spot in Magic Kingdom, but it’s been closed for years now.
Tomorrowland Terrace
Previously, it was a tasty counter service spot away from the crowds. Now, it sits closed MOST of the time. It still opens for fireworks dessert parties, but other than that, it’s just a large empty restaurant sitting on the outskirts of Tomorrowland. But this deserted spot may have more uses than you think!
Crowds in Disney World surge during expected times like holidays, spring break, and summer, but there are other times of the year you may be caught off guard by the crowds.
Advent Health Arena in ESPN Wide World of Sports
Many times this is due to special events happening somewhere in the resort, such as runDisney events around the parks, but many large sports competition companies also host their yearly events at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex and/or Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort & Convention Center, drawing in massive crowds. Two of those events are coming up soon and are happening on THE SAME weekend.
Alright, we’ll admit it. Most days, we prefer to live in sweatpants and cozy cotton t-shirts. We like wearing slippers and sweatshirts — the softer, the better. But every once in a while, it’s nice to dress up. Sometimes, we go FULL GLAM. And you know what? It’s pretty fun!
Mickey and Minnie
But these days, it’s pretty hard to find an excuse to break out those elegant skirts and fancy lipstick. That’s where Dapper Days comes in. Every few months, Dapper Day participants dress in their finest attire and visit the Disney parks for a special outing! This year, the Dapper Day Spring Outing to Disney World is happening April 20th–21st. Want to see what people are wearing? Is that even a question? Of course you do! Let’s go!

It is NOT CHEAP to vacation in Disney World, and that is a fact.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
However, there are certainly ways to bring down the cost of taking a trip, even if you’re choosing to stay on property at one of Disney World’s incredible hotels. If you’re taking a trip soon and are looking to really get those costs down, we have some tips you NEED to use!
Traveling to Disney World can sometimes be a hassle, but totally worth it once you’ve finally made it on property.
Disney Springs
However, if you’ve just traveled in from the airport, you likely (hopefully) have all of your luggage you’re dragging around with you. We’ve recently noticed a huge amount of people with their luggage at this random place in Disney World and it’s…not ideal.
Some Disneyland smells are simply iconic.
Disneyland Tomorrowland
Let’s face it, would Pirates of the Caribbean be the same without that classic bromine smell? Would Main Street, U.S.A. be the same without the smell of popcorn? Would Haunted Mansion still be as creepy without that musty old building odor? Would Tomorrowland be the same without smelling the exhaust from Autopia? Okay, maybe that last one isn’t so iconic, and we’ve got some good news on that front.
