food IS a theme park
The holiday season brings many things to Disney World — specialty treats, fun entertainment, exclusive events, and so much more.
Jingle Cruise
One of our favorite things to see in the parks during this time of year is the holiday ride overlays! We just saw a few that are exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but the most popular one is available all day long. Yep, we’re talking about Jingle Cruise, but we’ve got to warn you about something before you hop in line… .
Something strange is going on with Disney World rides.
Christmas has arrived!
This week we celebrated Halloween, said goodbye to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and said hello to the holidays! Holidays are typically some of the busiest times in Disney World but we noticed that wait times went down at nearly every attraction this week! We keep track of the average wait times every week, so keep scrolling to see the wait times at each Disney World ride from the past week.
Magic Kingdom is Disney World’s original park and is a favorite amongst many Disneygoers.

But did you know some people are willing to skip this iconic park? We asked our readers on Facebook under what circumstances would they skip Magic Kingdom on their Disney vacation. While many of you said you would never DREAM of skipping the park, others gave some very valid points!
We’ve got to talk about Toy Story Land.
Toy Story Land

Disney World crowds can be a little… unpredictable sometimes.
Magic Kingdom
Sure, we can keep track of the big events and holidays to get an idea of what we might be expecting, but these days it’s been more difficult to truly predict when those wait times will skyrocket. But, if you’re planning a 2024 Disney World trip, the crowds might not be as bad as you might think and we’re telling you why.
Can you believe it? EPCOT is almost done with its years-long transformation!
EPCOT
Disney announced that the EPCOT construction is set to be complete by the end of 2023, and it makes us want to reminisce about the changes, you know? We have several new attractions including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana and now the 100th anniversary celebration is in the park with a special meet and greet, the return of Soarin’ Over California, and more. Now there’s an update about one of the new additions…but fair warning, you may not like it.
Disney World rides are some of the most immersive out there — they instantly transport you out of reality!

Whether that’s because you’re busy fighting Kylo Ren on Rise of the Resistance or jumping into a cartoon on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, there are so many stories you can explore through attractions. This applies to roller coasters too — there’s a reason why they all almost always have a long wait! However, this week, one coaster saw a jump in wait times that caught our eye and we had to let you know about it.

Let’s face it — long holiday weekends often bring crowds to Disney World.
Things are getting busy in Magic Kingdom
It’s not just us, either. It seems like Disney World has been expecting crowds this weekend. We saw the price of Genie+ go up to its highest price that we’ve seen in over a month, and that price went up even higher as of October 8th. That means demand for the service is up, meaning that there are crowds in the parks. Well, that’s exactly what we saw in Magic Kingdom.
