food IS a theme park
Disney World vacations can be a LOT of fun, but they’re not all magic and pixie dust.

There’s definitely a few changes Disney can make to improve the theme park experience — but that’s not all. Between long lines, the heat, and crowds, sometimes you’ve just had ENOUGH. So we asked our DFB readers: when have they almost given up in Disney World? Here’s what they said.
Don’t you just LOVE spring at EPCOT?!
Hello, EPCOT Ball!
We do too! There’s SO much to see and do, and of course, there’s so much that’s NEW!

Welp, it looks like spring break crowds have left Disney World, for now at least.
Spring Break Crowds in Magic Kingdom
Just as fast as the crowds flocked to the parks, they appear to have entirely disappeared! The only confusing part is that all four Disney World parks have no Park Pass Reservations left for today.
It’s no secret that some times of the year are better to visit Disney World than others!
Let’s plan that perfectly-timed Disney World vacation!
If you’re like us (or probably most people!), you want that low-crowd, mild weather, easygoing day in the Disney World parks. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Today, we’re sharing 10 times that you may NOT want to visit Disney World — the decision on when to take your trip is ultimately up to you, but if you avoid these times of the year, then your trip might be a smidge less stressful!
Thanks to Spring Break crowds in Disney World, it has been challenging for many people to find Disney Park Pass reservations at the moment!

Since the parks reopened, reservations are required to visit the Disney World theme parks, in order to help control capacities. We’ve seen many days fill up recently, and just yesterday we reported that park passes were almost completely FULL until April 8th. But this morning, more availability opened up, and our reader Joe (@schreiberjoe on Instagram) gave us a heads up! If you’ve been trying to get in a park, now’s your chance!
Hello, everyone! We’re back at Disney World with more updates!
Worst hotel ever. Do not recommend. HAUNTED.

A Touch of Disney
There may not be any rides available at this event, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less popular. Tickets for the event sold out in less than a day, so we knew the crowds would show up! But just how busy is it inside this limited-capacity event? Let’s find out!
