Here’s Why Splash Mountain Isn’t Closing in Tokyo

By 5 Comments

We’ve seen Disney attractions grow, change, and evolve over time. Some attractions have been completely re-themed, while others have received smaller updates. From total tear-downs to teenie tiny changes, the Disney parks are a constant work-in-progress; and we have a feeling that’s exactly what Walt Disney wanted for his parks. Most recently, Disney announced that Splash Mountain is being reimagined as a NEW attraction known as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, based on The Princess and the Frog.

Splash Mountain

In January 2023, Splash Mountain closed in Disney World, and construction is already underway for the new attraction. Then a few short months later, Disneyland’s Splash Mountain also closed down for good. You may have thought that these closures marked the official end of Splash Mountain, but there’s still one place where you can ride Splash Mountain. Let’s talk about it.

How Be Our Guest Restaurant Lunch Slowly Declined From Perfect to Pathetic

By 64 Comments

Okay, you may have read that title and thought, “Ouch!” — seems a little harsh, no? But lately, “Be our guest” has taken on a whole new meaning; Disney is practically begging people to be their guests and dine at the Beauty and the Beast-inspired restaurant.

Be Our Guest

The truth is, Be Our Guest Restaurant was once one of the hardest reservations to get in Disney World. Now, most days, it’s pretty easy to get a table at Be Our Guest. Why? Well, in the words of Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts, “There’s something there that wasn’t there before.”

By 1 Comment

PJ Morton of Maroon 5 Is Writing a NEW Song for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!

By Leave a Comment

You can’t ride “it’s a small world” without hearing that classic theme song, and the Haunted Mansion attraction just wouldn’t be the same without that spooky soundtrack! It may not always be the first thing you think of when a new attraction opens, but music is one of the most important parts of Disney storytelling.

The Cheapest Days At Disney World For the Rest Of 2024

By Leave a Comment

In an ideal world, we would all plan our Disney World vacations around the cheapest, least crowded times of the year, right? After all, it’s a lot easier to conquer all the rides in Magic Kingdom when the wait times are under 60 minutes, and it’s much more enjoyable to eat your Cosmic Ray’s chicken nuggets without a family hovering nearby waiting for an open table.

Crowds? PASS!

While Disney may be considered a fantasy world, we know you can’t live in one all the time, so let’s get real about ticket prices. A trip to Disney World is EXPENSIVE! On top of rising ticket prices, you’ve got a lot of added costs to deal with in the parks and resorts. So to help you cut down on expenses, let’s discuss the CHEAPEST days to go to Disney World in 2024.
