food IS a theme park
Despite limited capacity at the Disney World theme parks, getting a boarding group to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios continues to be a challenge.
Rise of the Resistance
Some changes have been made to the boarding group sign-up experience to make it easier, and another change may be on the horizon that could increase the capacity of the ride!
Water bottles with a bellhop hat lid, color-revealing mugs, and Hollywood Tower Hotel leggings — we’re truly ready to cross over into the Twilight Zone with all of our new Tower of Terror merchandise!

But, no Disney look is complete without a set of Minnie ears.
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!
One of the most beloved shows in Disney World is Fantasmic! in Hollywood Studios!

It’s hard to beat watching Mickey slay a dragon! Unfortunately, Fantasmic! is one of the shows that has yet to return to a reopened Disney World. And it looks like Disney is taking this time for a few updates or to do things like routine maintenance because the amphitheater looks preeeeetty different!
Calling all Star Wars fans! If you’re looking for an epic piece of merchandise to bring home with you from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the legacy lightsabers may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Whether you’ve got a soft spot for Luke’s lightsaber or you’re a fan of Ben Solo’s — the Legacy Lightsabers allow you to bring home the unique hilts wielded by your favorite jedi or sith lord. Then you can totally run around your house pretending to be “the chosen one” without even needing to check your midi-chlorian count.
Heads or tails? Right now, The Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is selling both!
Droid Heads from the Droid Depot
Star Wars fans can create their own custom droid inside Galaxy’s Edge. Guests pick and choose from various parts colors then put their new friends together right in the shop. Usually, you get one shot at creating your droid. Once you pick a color scheme, there’s no turning back…until today! You can now buy individual heads and bodies at Droid Depot to swap out the pieces from your custom droid.
Crowds in Disney World have started to pick up. And with SO many holidays just around the corner, we anticipate even higher attendance numbers.
Roy and Minnie
Thanksgiving’s already gearing up to be quite the holiday in the parks. As more people plan to return back to the parks soon, the Disney Park Pass system has seen varying availability for guests planning their upcoming vacations for the holidays.
Hello from another GLAMOROUS day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
As always, it’s a beautiful day to stroll around this park, so let’s see what new since we last visited DHS!
Disney World has been switching up its hours quite a bit recently in all four parks as more crowds continue to head back to the parks.
Magic Kingdom
While hours in the parks had already been extended for Columbus Day Weekend previously, now guests have an extra hour to explore the attractions, stores, and restaurants when they return over the next two days!
Now that Halloween is just around the corner (the anticipation is real), Disney World has been redecorating their cavalcades with a bit of a spooky twist in time for the holiday.
Disney Junior Stars Motorcade
We’ve seen characters dressed in their best costumes and even appearances from rare villains like the Bowler Hat Guy. BUT, Disney’s throwing a new surprise character in the mix over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for this weekend ONLY!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
