The day we warned you about is here: it’s President’s Day!

Happy President’s Day!

We’ve been documenting the crowd level all weekend, but now that the official holiday is here, let’s see how busy Disney World looks on President’s Day!

We’re back to serve a public service announcement: you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy Disney’s plant-based snacks! Speaking of food, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has TONS of amazing dining options that are adventurous and exciting (obligatory shout-out to the beloved Nyala Brownie).

Animal Kingdom Lodge

Disney World Just CHANGED Its Genie+ Rules for 1-Day Tickets

By 5 Comments

Unless you’re some kind of super-human with LOTS of energy, determination, and luck, it can be tough to ride EVERY attraction in Disney World in one trip (particularly a short one) — even with a little help from Disney Genie+! Even if you don’t end up tackling all the rides in Disney, you can definitely knock out a good amount of attractions if you’re strategic about your days (though depending on the crowd levels it could be challenging!).

Trying to ride everything in Disney World is a tricky mission!

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, this is an important Genie+ rule you need to know about because it could seriously impact your day!

It Just Got EASIER to Talk to TWO Fan-Favorite Disney World Characters!

By 1 Comment

We’ve been WAITING for this, and we’re so happy that our Disney character dreams are finally coming true! Sure, it was fun to see some Disney friends out and about in some different locations, but a construction wall just doesn’t make a very good backdrop.

Nice to see ya, Olaf!

It seems like Disney FINALLY told the guards to open up the gates, because, for the first time in forever, we can meet all of our Frozen friends in their old meet and greet locations! Love really IS an open door! (Okay, okay, we’ll stop)

PHOTOS: See the Lines Just to EAT When Disney World is At Capacity

By 5 Comments

All four Disney parks reached capacity this President’s Day weekend, which means one thing: crowds, crowds, and more crowds. Basically what we’re telling you is this: be prepared to wait if you’re planning to be in the parks on a holiday weekend.

NO THANK YOU

You probably know to expect long lines for Disney’s popular attractions pretty much all year, but during President’s Day weekend, we even saw long lines for FOOD. *cries in hunger* Seriously, even a few scoops of popcorn will cost you a good 10 minutes (at least) in line. Don’t believe us? We’ll show you!

Disney World Hid Some Characters…Behind a Gift Shop?!

By Leave a Comment

Remember that line on Disney’s famous PeopleMover attraction that goes, “The PeopleMover is the perfect vehicle for people-watching. So keep your eyes peeled; you never know who you might see!” Well, it turns out you don’t have to take a ride on the PeopleMover to find an unexpected friend in Disney World! 

You never know who you might see!

Sometimes, wandering off the beaten path or visiting the aquarium can lead you to a character sighting — we love when that happens! During our recent visit to the Magic Kingdom, we found TWO characters hanging out in a new location!

What Happens If You FORGET Your Face Mask Before Getting on Disney World’s Monorail

By 3 Comments

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.

Changes can happen virtually overnight in Disney World; guidelines, attractions, and even decorations can change in the blink of an eye! Sometimes, a MAJOR change can take months to work out, but in many cases, guests are expected to adapt immediately. It can be tricky to keep up!

We LOVE the Monorail!

Speaking of changes, Disney recently updated its health and safety guidelines (again), making face masks optional both indoors and outdoors for vaccinated guests. There is still one instance where face masks are required, but Disney’s got you covered (literally) if you forget!

REVIEW: It Takes an ADVENTUROUS Eater to Try This Disney World Restaurant! Are You Up for It?

By Leave a Comment

Most signature dining experiences in Disney World are known for high prices and high quality; is that a tradeoff you’re willing to make? And while you’re at it, ponder this: are you willing to leave the Disney parks for a meal at a Disney hotel? It’s a tough call! There are TONS of great eats in all four parks, but does the experience compare to a quiet sit-down dinner at a hotel’s signature restaurant?

Talk about DRAMA!

We’re considering all these questions and more as we head over to the newly reopened restaurant, Jiko — The Cooking Place, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Jambo House.
