Disney World is known as the Most Magical Place on Earth, and for good reason!
Magic Kingdom
In Disney World, you’ll encounter plenty of stellar rides, special meet and greets with beloved characters, one-of-a-kind snacks, and so much more.

If you’ve been keeping up with Disney World’s many health and safety measures, then you probably know about all the changes that have been happening recently!

Hello from Disneyland!
Disneyland
We’ve been visiting regularly since the park’s reopening to keep you up to date on any changes that may affect your trip. And today, we noticed that it was CROWDED! Now, Disneyland is still required to operate at 25% capacity based on Orange County’s COVID-19 case count (and various other factors), so we have not seen a capacity increase recently. Still, we’re taking you along to see just how crazy things are lookin’ today!
We’ve been following Disneyland’s phased reopening very carefully.
