food IS a theme park
It’s finally time for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
Happy Halloween!
We’ve been counting down to this day for MONTHS and can’t wait to ride all the rides, watch some of the most popular holiday entertainment in Disney World, and eat alllll the special snacks. We’re not the only ones excited for this event though — let’s see what crowds are looking like during this sold-out night!
If you’ve flown into Orlando International Airport recently, you might have noticed that the airport has been WAY more crowded than in previous years.
Orlando International Airport is VERY busy
Well, you’re not imagining it! The airport has seen record-breaking crowds over the past year, with 54.6 million passengers traveling through it over a 12-month period. Needless to say, these crowds can create a less-than-ideal airport experience, but if you know how to handle those crowds, we promise everything will be okay! [Read more…]
Is it too early to start saying goodbye to summer crowds?
Magic Kingdom crowds in June 2023
Disney World has experienced some really heavy crowds all through July and with the start of EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival. We would expect those crowds to start winding down as we enter August and back-to-school season starts, but we saw wait times holding pretty steady this week in Disney World.
There are a lot of places you’ll WANT to be during your Disney World vacation.
Magic Kingdom
You’ll want to be on time for your dining reservations and Genie+ Lightning Lanes. You’ll probably want to be in front of Cinderella Castle at night for that perfect fireworks view. And of course, at some point, you’ll want to brave the gift shops to get that must-have souvenir. But there are also plenty of places you DON’T want to be in Disney World…and we’re sharing the details!
Disney World can be a fun and magical place, but there are some things that make us cringe.
Tower of Terror
Whether that’s something that looks gross (like some of the new Halloween snacks that were announced) or because one ride posts a multi-hour wait time, cringe-worthy things are all around. This week, that cringe-y thing is one of the most popular rides in Disney World — Tower of Terror.
Well, we survived the first day of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We managed to eat ALL the food, and even made our way through Emile’s Montage Fromage (the cheese crawl). We chased a rat all over EPCOT for a scavenger hunt and enjoyed a concert and a special Spaceship Earth lighting show at the end of the evening. Well, we went back to EPCOT on the first Saturday of the festival (July 29th), and well, we’re going to warn you to NEVER do that.
If you’re following along, you know it’s a BIG day at EPCOT.
Food and Wine is here!
We’re here for the opening day of EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival. We are traveling all over the “world,” trying every booth, doing scavenger hunts, and having a blast. Between seeing all the merchandise and eating a lot of sweet treats, we are here to update you on how the crowds are looking on opening day.
Welcome to EPCOT — the land of construction walls, exciting new rides and restaurants, and…did we mention construction walls?
EPCOT
It’s no secret that EPCOT has been undergoing a huge transformation and there has been a lot of exciting news out of the park lately. The 100th anniversary celebrations are coming to the park in September, a new fireworks show is on the way, the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is about to begin, and a new restaurant is coming to the Japan pavilion! With all of this good news, we also have some bad news to share about EPCOT.
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest Disney news, then you’ll know that there’s a lot going on right now.
EPCOT
Just this week, we got more news about menus at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, CEO Bob Iger remaining with Disney until 2026, and the rooms at BoardWalk Inn have changed. It can be a LOT to keep track of! But that’s why we’re here — we’ll let you know about anything that could impact your next Disney World vacation. And speaking of, it’s time to talk wait times!
Ahhh Disney’s Hollywood Studios — the chaotic and action-filled park.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios is full of some of Disney World’s best attractions including Rise of the Resistance, Toy Story Land as a whole, Tower of Terror, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, just to name a few. Since there are SO many popular things packed into one park, the wait times can be…well…painfully long.
