Tree of Life
Shrubs, spooks, and princesses– oh my! With Halloween time in full swing around Disney World, we’ve seen some haunted additions materialize in Animal Kingdom. We’ve also seen some not-so-spooky merchandise pop up around the park — as well as a new royal treat! So let’s head over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new.
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, (or as critics call it, the “Don’t Say Gay” law) has struck major controversy since its introduction earlier this year.

The Walt Disney Company has released statements criticizing the law including a few statements from CEO Bob Chapek himself. This caused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to move forward with the dissolution of Disney’s Reedy Creek ImprovementDistrict — a district that gives Disney governmental power over the land in and around Disney World. House Republicans also condemned Chapek’s response to the law in an open letter and Disney employee walkouts took place following Disney’s response. Now, there’s a new update about the “Don’t Say Gay” law that could lead to the law being blocked.
Ah, Florida. Home to sunshine, beaches, theme parks — and apparently, the source of everyone’s recent airline travel troubles.

But now, we might have another insight as to why so many delays and cancelations have been affecting travelers — and it looks like Florida is to blame.
If you’re catching a flight soon, there’s a lot you’ll want to catch up on.
Let’s take a look at different stats
Flight delays, cancelations, staffing shortages — the “friendly skies” seem to be anything but, lately. But luckily, it’s not just bad news…if you’re flying through Orlando International Airport (MCO), you’ll have an easier time renting a car soon.Â
Air travel can be chaotic…to say the very least.
Get Ready to FLY
Flight cancelations, staffing shortages, delays — it’s getting harder and harder to fly to Disney World.

That’s why we’re always excited to see more nonstop routes added to the Orlando International Airport (MCO)!

Prepare for all of the newest changes hitting Disney World by checking out the 6 things that will be different in August!
Disney’s future in Florida has been difficult to predict. Following Disney’s public critique of Florida’s Parental Rights Bill (otherwise known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill), Florida Legislators pushed back with the proposal to dissolve Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District.

The dissolution of Reedy Creek will remove expansive and operational freedoms for Disney, and risks placing the burden of municipal costs on local taxpayers. So, once Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill to dissolve Reedy Creek, many were left wondering what this would mean for the future of Disney World and its surrounding counties. Here’s what we know.
