food IS a theme park
Waits were LONGER across the board at Walt Disney World this week.
The Tree of Life
After last week saw wait times go down pretty much across the board at Walt Disney World, this week saw that trend unfortunately head in the opposite direction. Major attractions at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom saw increases in their average wait times, some as high as 10 MINUTES!
If you’re heading to Disney World in May, there are some things you NEED to know.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Disney World is ever-changing and things can look different at the resort from month to month. From crowd levels to restaurant openings and closings a lot can happen in the span of a few weeks. Of course, that allow applies to Disney World’s many rides and attractions! If you’re planning a trip to The Most Magical Place On Earth in May 2024, you should be prepared for these three rides and attractions to be closed for refurbishment.
Disney World changes very often, which means you’ll visit the parks one time, and a few months later things have changed.
EPCOT
This can make it hard to plan your vacation, but that’s why we’re here! We keep up with all the latest Disney news so you know what’s happening the next time you visit. If you’re visiting the parks this year, here are some recent changes you NEED to know about!
We go to Disney World for the food, but the rides are definitely up there on our list of things to do!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Jumping on a fun roller coaster or flying through the galaxy are great ways to spend our days in the parks. Unfortunately, there are two rides in Disney World that we still can’t ride! Hopefully, they will both be opening soon. Let’s take a look at these two closed rides and everything else that is unavailable due to refurbishments this coming week.
Y’all, the moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived!
Cinderella Castle
After weeks of seeing pretty high average wait times, the Spring Break crowds have finally left Disney World! Wait times have gone down significantly at every single park, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Along with that, the walkways are also a lot less crowded — so getting around the parks has been so much easier, too. We’re hoping that these low wait times are here to stay — at least for a little while. [Read more…]
Wait times have not been letting up at Disney World this week!
Fight of Passage Lightning Lane
However, it might not be in the way you’re thinking. This week, the average wait times have remained fairly…consistent. Still long, but a lot of wait times only had changed by a few minutes. Of course, we still have some that jumped up a good amount — like a handful of the major E-ticket attractions. We’re still feeling some impacts of those Spring Break and Easter crowds, so we’re not too surprised. [Read more…]
We have exciting food news for you all this week!

A popular Disney World restaurant that has been closed since 2020 is finally reopening this week! We can’t wait to dive into the new offerings that will be served at this adorable and delicious dining location. You’ll get to dine with characters and even try a beloved soup (yep, a soup!). Even though this restaurant is opening once again, there are still lots of attractions closed in Disney World. Let’s take a look at everything closed for refurbishment this coming week.
It’s Spring Break in Disney World…which is a nightmare for a lot of people. But it doesn’t have to be!
Main Street, U.S.A
Yes, Spring Break and Easter weekend are notoriously busy times in the parks, and that has stayed true this year. Genie+ is selling out at record-high prices, and Park Passes are filling up — but we’ve got tips on how to stay sane and still have an awesome Disney vacation! Now it’s time to take a look at the wait time patterns from the past week so you can prepare for your upcoming trip! Take a deep breath because (spoiler alert) they’ve increased. Like, a LOT.
Can you believe it is already April?!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
That means that we’re inching closer and closer to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Country Bear Jamboree re-opening! Disney hasn’t announced an opening date for either of these attractions, but we’ve been noticing some big changes over at the Frontierland ride! Let’s check them out and see what else will remain closed this week.
It has been a very long time since we could bound across the wobbly barrel bridge in Magic Kingdom.
The barrel bridge has been closed for a WHILE
You might be wondering why we care so much about a small bridge in Magic Kingdom. Well, frankly, we care about EVERYTHING in Disney World, even a small bridge on Tom Sawyer Island. And that is why we’re here to tell you some exciting news about the bridge, along with more Disney World closures. Come with us to see what will be closed in Disney World this coming week!
