food IS a theme park
Extra Magic Hours are no longer in place in Disney World. But if you want extra time in the parks, you can still get that thanks to 2 perks that were introduced as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration.
Cinderella Castle
Currently the Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours perks allow select hotel guests to spend some extra time in the parks. We’ve already experienced both of these offerings, but one BIG thing with the Early Theme Park Entry perk is about to change!

If you’ve been to Disney World a time or two (or more) throughout the years, you probably have a solid to-do list filled with places to stay, things to do, and food to eat that you don’t stray from much.

There’s certainly nothing wrong with that (we’ve got our own lists too!), but we’re proposing a bit of a challenge for your next vacation — try something completely different that you wouldn’t necessarily consider doing. Here are a few things you can give a go!
It’s time for another update on what’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week.

If you’re heading into the parks next week, there are a few attractions, restaurants, and rides that you won’t be able to visit due to some scheduled refurbishments. We’ll take a look at each one and let you know when these will be available again.
The Disney World parks aren’t the only ones getting in the festive mood right now.
Christmas Tree in EPCOT
We’ve seen a HUGE gingerbread house over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and a Little Mermaid-themed gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. Now we’re heading to another Disney hotel to see what kind of decorations they’ve got up!
