Oogie Boogie Bash Tickets Are Officially on Sale…and It’s a MESS

By 6 Comments

If you’ve ever experienced the anxiety-inducing process of trying to purchase a highly-anticipated Disney ticket, you know that the process is often, well, a hot mess. In the past, we’ve seen Disney’s website crash, experienced random pauses while waiting in the virtual queue, and watched tickets sell out in the blink of an eye. It’s a high-stress situation, people!

By 1 Comment

Country bears, thundering trains, and a huge log flume. That’s Frontierland for ya! If you’re fixin’ to feel like you’re walking through the wild west or want to pay a visit to some playful bears, this is the place to be. Lately, this section of the Magic Kingdom has been getting a lot of attention thanks to Disney’s big announcement that a NEW attraction is coming soon to the area formerly known as Splash Mountain.

Country Bears in Frontierland

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is the newest Disney World attraction coming to Frontierland, and we can’t wait to learn more about the new ride.

NEWS: Genie+ Sees Price CUT in Disney World

By 1 Comment

Oh, Genie+. One moment we’re watching the price skyrocket; the next, we’re celebrating a lower cost for Disney’s service to skip the standby lines. We get it. There have been a lot of changes to Genie+ since it was first introduced. Some changes are surprisingly good, while others are…not so great.

Genie+

One of the latest changes to hit Disney’s Genie+ service is a new multi-park option for guests hoping to use Genie+ in multiple parks on the same day. In the past, the price to use Genie+ was the same for all four parks, but now the cost of Genie+ may vary from park to park, or guests can buy the new multi-park option to use Genie+ in multiple parks. The change went live on June 27th, but now let’s check to see how things are looking after the big debut.

REVIEW: Why We’re Willing to Pay $93 for Dinner at Flying Fish in Disney World

By 1 Comment

Sure, you could go to Disney World and dine solely on Mickey Waffles, Corn Dog Nuggets, and DOLE Whips.

Disney’s BoardWalk

And, who am I to stop you? But, if you are looking for a fine-dining experience during your vacation, Disney World actually has some great options! Fans of seafood (hi, it’s me) would be remiss if they didn’t consider venturing to Disney’s BoardWalk for a meal at Flying Fish. Not only is the BoardWalk a fun experience on its own, but this restaurant is also a worthwhile stop on your trip for its beauty and delicious food. Recently, they added some new items to the menu, so I stopped by for a late dinner to check it out.

Annual Passholders Claim They Were Misled by Disney — Where Do They Stand Now?

By 1 Comment

Although Disney World has been offering new Annual Passholder perks recently, like an exclusive magnet, a lounge, and special photo-ops, the Park Pass lawsuit brought by Disney World Annual Passholders against Disney World continues. Since the lawsuit was initially filed, Disney announced plans to change the Park Pass Reservation System, but that change did not put an end to the lawsuit.

There are a lot of Disney World Annual Passholders

For reference, the lawsuit was filed in October 2022. It argues that Disney’s Platinum Pass and Platinum Plus passes were advertised with “no blockout dates,” yet Passholders alleged the Park Pass Reservation System created blockout dates for Annual Passholders, and therefore modified their original contracts with Disney. The lawsuit also spells out some other criticisms, arguing that Disney prioritizes regular ticket purchasers in the interest of a bigger profit, “takes advantage” of its loyal passholder fans, and “abused a global pandemic.” Now, let’s discuss where we’re at as of mid-June 2023.
