food IS a theme park
There’s a BIG way that you could potentially lose money in Disney World.

Next time you’re planning a trip, you might be considering the Park Hopper ticket option. This option lets you “hop” to a second theme park instead of only having entry to one for the day. But, BE WARNED, there’s a catch!Â
If there’s one thing we think most Disney World fans can agree on, it’s that they hate price increases.
Time to start filling this puppy with some spare change!
And, we totally get it! Why would you want to pay more for something than you did a year ago if it’s the exact same? But, we see price increases regularly in Disney World — they’re almost expected at this point. Annual Passes, MagicBands, Spirit Jerseys, and more have all seen price increases over the past year. And, even though we’re only a little over 2 months into 2022, there have already been significant price increases in Disney World. So, let’s take a look at what we’ve seen so far this year.
Maybe you’re the person with 10 pages of lists with everything you need to do before heading out on your Disney World vacation. Maybe you’ve got all your budget spreadsheets, dining reservation notes, and plans on your computer. Or, maybe you’re someone who has it all planned, it’s just not on paper yet. Whoever you are and however you do it, planning a Disney World vacation can be almost as fun as the trip itself!

But, did you know that there’s a way to keep track of all your reservations and be a leg ahead of everyone else visiting Disney World? Enter My Disney Experience — Disney World’s official app. In an age where it has become almost IMPOSSIBLE to visit the Disney Parks without a smartphone, the My Disney Experience app is like a trusty friend who will help you plan your trip without all the unsolicited (or BAD) advice. So, here’s how you can use the app to unlock a new level of Disney vacation planning (we’ll let you have all the bragging rights, don’t worry).
The Disney parks changed a LOT when they reopened in 2020, so what still remains of those pandemic-era adjustments?
Scanning In!
Face mask requirements have been relaxed somewhat in the parks, many buffets have returned in full force, and the social distancing markers and language are almost entirely gone. But there’s one BIG change that has stuck around: Park Pass Reservations. And from a recent interview with the president of Disneyland, it sounds like they could be here for a while. [Read more…]
If you’ve been to (or considered going to) Disney World recently, then you likely know that a single-day visit to the theme parks typically costs more than $100 a person making a day inside “the most magical place on earth” roughly $400-$500+ for a family of four.
Going to the parks certainly isn’t cheap!
Of course, that price can fluctuate depending on the season and the add-ons that you purchase, but you’ll be budgeting a few hundred (or even upwards of thousands of) dollars just to set FOOT in a Disney World park. So, if you’re dropping the big bucks on a day in any of the four parks, are you really getting your money’s worth? We’re breaking down the price of a Disney World ticket to let you know what every minute of your day really costs!
Park Pass Reservations have become essential to a Disney World vacation, much like buying a ticket or making hotel reservations.
Park Pass Reservations are a must
If you’re heading to any of the four Disney World parks, you’ll need to reserve a pass for the specific park you’re visiting along with a ticket. This new system came into being when Disney World reopened after the 2020 closure, and it looks like it’ll be here to stay for a while. The dates for reservations have been extended again! Check out how far in advance you can book your reservations for your upcoming trip. [Read more…]
You’ve probably heard people say “it’s best to visit Disney World during the spring.” Or “you should never visit Disney World during the summer.” But, does it REALLY matter when you visit Disney World?

Is there really a significant difference when it comes to hotel prices, ticket prices, and more that could and should affect when you choose to visit the parks? We’re taking a look at all of that and breaking it down for you today!
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World you’ll need to think about several big things — Where will you stay? How many days will you be there? How will you get there? Do you want to rent a car? What time of the year will you visit? And, perhaps most importantly, what tickets will you buy?

You might be surprised to learn that there’s more that goes into buying tickets than simply clicking “Add to Cart.” There are a few important decisions you and your family need to make prior to purchasing the tickets for your trip. Today we’re breaking down some big things you should consider when deciding what tickets to buy.
It’s officially December, and that means we’re about to have one of the busiest months of the year in Disney World!
Happy Holidays from Hollywood Studios!
We’ve already seen crowds in late November for Thanksgiving break, but the holiday season is just beginning. And because so many guests will be coming to Walt Disney World, there are some exciting offerings and big things you need to know if you’re visiting in the month of December!
If you’re planning a visit to Disney World soon, there are a lot of things to consider, including Park Pass reservations, hotel reservations, buying your tickets, and more.
NEW Ticket Design!
But, things might have just gotten a bit more complicated. Recently, we shared that sales for select Annual Passes have been suspended. Now, we’ve gotten an update about how the purchase of certain park tickets may also be limited.
