food IS a theme park
Some Disney World attractions have had a rough start to the new year.
Magic Kingdom
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed unexpectedly for the first few days of 2021, and Frozen Ever After was unavailable all day yesterday. Now, a popular Magic Kingdom attraction has been closed all day as well!
It’s a busy, busy day in Walt Disney World!
Line for Flight of Passage
While Christmas has come and gone, this is still prime vacation time for many people, as they get an extra week off of work before the New Year. We’re seeing massive crowds and ridiculously long lines for attractions. As we were checking out one of those super-long queues, we happened to spot something on Avatar Flight of Passage that really surprised us!
There are TONS of opinions out there when it comes to Disney World!
Welcome to Disney World
We love to ask our readers what they think, getting opinions on things like character dining, popular attractions, and even hot topics. It’s usually pretty fun to hear the variety of responses, and it’s a great way to get to know our followers better. Not too long ago, we asked our readers “What’s the worst ride in Magic Kingdom?” and they had a LOT of things to say!
If you’re looking for a thrill, Hollywood Studios has some great options for “big kid” rides!
Hollywood Studios
You can “drop in” at the Tower of Terror, become a pilot on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, or blast off to an Aerosmith concert at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Given how popular these attractions are, the new health and safety measures and physical distancing can definitely decrease the number of guests that get to ride them each day. But today, we noticed a BIG change in safety measures on one of these attractions. [Read more…]
We can’t help but feel even more ready for the holidays each time we’re in Disney World! Since the parks have practically become a Winter Wonderland, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for new holiday goodies each time we visit.
Living with the Land
Living with the Land has recently been decked out in wreaths, bows, and other decorations for Christmas. But, now you can find a few extra surprises when you hop on the ride in EPCOT!
We’ve seen a LOT of malfunctions in the Disney World parks this year.
The…Two Caballeros
We’ve seen José break down on the Gran Fiesta Tour, Elsa forget the words to her signature song, and most recently, we saw Buzz Lightyear go speechless. We can’t blame them, it’s been a pretty tough year for sure. Today, yet another Disney attraction is having issues — Spaceship Earth!
Hello DFB friends! We’re back to see what’s new in Disney’s Magic Kingdom since our last visit.
Magic Kingdom
We strolled around the beautiful kingdom to check out the latest food, construction, and merchandise! Here we go!
Although crowds might be growing in Disney World, we’ve seen some wildly different wait times all around the theme parks!
Cinderella Castle
There’s no FastPass or single rider during this time, and various ride queues have seen changes with distancing efforts, new sanitation measures, and more as guests return back to attractions. With such unprecedented efforts, the wait times have been fluctuating with variations between the posted wait time and how long riders have actually had to wait before boarding!
Given the recent health and safety updates, some of the most well-known Walt Disney World planning tips have gone out the window.
Pandora — World of Avatar
For instance, arriving at least 45 minutes prior to park opening was highly recommended if you wanted to enjoy popular attractions without waiting too long. Now, given the shorter lines, we recommend coming in later because you can avoid the morning crowds and still enjoy many of the rides. On our recent trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we noticed another interesting post-reopening phenomenon.
Although we’ve loved running around to our favorite rides and restaurants in the parks, we totally miss relaxing on the PeopleMover (which happens to be one of the best ways to beat the heat, in our opinion!).
Peoplemover Closed
As one of Magic Kingdom’s oldest and most popular attractions, PeopleMover takes guests on a ride around Tomorrowland to look inside the attractions and other parts of the park. However, since Disney World closed back in March, we haven’t seen the attraction open again in Tomorrowland (even during the re-opening back in July).
