The BIZARRE Trend I Just Noticed in Disney World’s Huge Expansion News

By 3 Comments

Okay, let’s talk about Disney concept art, particularly concept art for new lands and new rides.

Macaw at Animal Kingdom

So we recently attended D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where Disney made a TON of announcements about new rides and lands coming to Disney Parks (so much that it almost broke our brains, y’all). That means that we also got TONS of new concept art for these new lands and rides, but once we started studying that concept art, we noticed something strange — and it has everything to do with birds.

What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Two Loungefly Backpacks!

By Leave a Comment

One of our favorite Disney World parks in terms of food and atmosphere is Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The park might be underrated, as many favor the nostalgia of Magic Kingdom or the thrill rides of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but trust us when we say that you should NOT sleep on Animal Kingdom.

If you haven’t been in a while, you might need a quick update about what’s changed at Animal Kingdom, so come along with us to check out everything that’s NEW in this park. [Read more…]

Banshee or Millennium Falcon? Is Disney World’s Pandora STILL More Popular Than Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge?

By 22 Comments

Whenever a new land opens at Walt Disney World, the hype is always extremely real. But we all know that like anything else, that excitement can flicker out pretty quickly (AKA any YA novel fandom).

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disney World

The question is: how do you test if a land is a hit in Disney after it opens? It’s not only its initial popularity that keeps it high on the list but the continual visits from guests, how long the wait times are, and even what’s inside the land itself (still not over the Viewmaster slides in Toy Story Land tbh). And the differences between Pandora’s opening in 2017 and Galaxy’s Edge’s opening this year seem to show — at least anecdotally — that the two don’t stack up very similarly in terms of overall popularity.
