food IS a theme park
It can be an extreme challenge to “wing it” when it comes to a Disney World vacation.

With things like Lightning Lanes and virtual queues, scheduled ride refurbishments, dining reservations, and Disney Park Passes, it’s hard to just “go with the flow” during a Disney World vacation or even plan one super last minute. There’s just so much information to know before you travel! And if you’re visiting EPCOT soon, there’s an update you need to know about.
If you haven’t been to Disney World in a few years, there are quite a few new rides to check out.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
From Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT (which opened in 2022) to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom (opened in 2024 and 2023, respectively), there are a couple of attractions you’ll want to add to your must-ride list. But if you’re hoping to check out TRON during your visit, we’ve got some important updates for you.
How do you pick which Disney World hotel you’re going to stay at on your next vacation?
Pop Century Resort
There are many hotels at Disney World, and they are broken down by cost, style, and amenities. Deluxe resorts are the top-tier hotels that have the highest costs per night, they are typically fancier in their theming, and they offer more amenities and perks. Moderate resorts are a step below Deluxe resorts, and Value resorts are the lowest level. Value resorts are the least expensive resorts with theming that is typically larger than life, and they offer the least amount of amenities and perks. One of our favorite Value resorts is Disney’s Pop Century Resort, but even though we love it, four things about it seriously bug us when we stay there.
Waking up and arriving at the Disney World theme parks can be like an Olympic sport as well as a team effort.
Magic Kingdom
We totally understand wanting to soak in as much time as possible in the parks, especially if you have saved up for a trip to Disney World for years. There is so much to think about when it comes to getting to the parks early that we are stressing ourselves out just thinking about it, and it made us wonder, why does this Disney World problem even have to exist?
Heads up! There are special dates coming up in EPCOT that could mean big crowds — and we want to keep you informed!
EPCOT
There are six upcoming dates where EPCOT could see higher crowds than usual. Rather than getting stuck in a busy park, we wanted to warn you of some of these dates!Â
Don’t make the same mistake that I made in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Disney World offers Early Theme Park Entry as an extra perk for guests staying at Disney-owned resorts or select Good Neighbor hotels. That means you can enter every theme park in Disney World a half hour before other guests. But be careful which ride you go to during this Early Entry time, because not all of the rides open early!

Disney World is always changing!
Cinderella Castle
And while there are changes we LOVE, like the newest Disney World app update (easier dining reservations, y’all!), we’ve noticed a trend in Disney World changes that we definitely do NOT love. And it doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon.

Disney World hotels come with several perks, like free transportation between the hotels, parks, and Disney Springs and access to Early Entry so that you can enter any theme park 30 minutes before its official opening time. But there’s one perk that’s reserved ONLY for guests at Disney World’s Deluxe hotels.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Disney World’s Deluxe hotels are the fanciest and most expensive hotels on property. It costs a pretty penny to stay there, but is it WORTH IT to get access to this perk? [Read more…]
