A Disney World vacation can be magical at any time of year — as long as you plan accordingly!

Here’s what you need to know if you’re headed to Disney World in August!
Next week is a BIG week in Disney World. The Festival of the Arts starts on January 13th, which will bring food booths, Broadway-style performances, and a Figment-themed scavenger hunt to EPCOT. But there are also a few closures happening at the theme parks that you need to be aware of before you visit.

It’s refurbishment season! During the winter months (usually beginning in January), Disney often closes major rides to update them, which means if you’re visiting at this time, you might not be able to visit some of your favorite attractions. Although several rides are going to close later on in January, there won’t be too many new closures this coming week. Let’s take a look! [Read more…]
As 2022 draws to a close, we start looking forward to 2023, especially the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

We’ve enjoyed this festival in the past (we mean — food AND wine, what’s not to love?), and we can’t wait to see what the 2023 festival brings. We already know the dates for the festival, we’ve got a list of the food booths, and now we have information about the 2023 Sip and Savor Pass.

Could next week FINALLY be the week it reopens? We’re seeing some clues that have us hoping! Here’s a full list of all the temporary closures in Disney World this coming week, including updates about announced or possible reopenings.
Right now might be the ideal time to visit Disney World! We saw some pretty big crowds in the parks around Thanksgiving time, and Genie+ price increases reflected the higher demand. But Genie+ has been around $15 to $17 per person lately (not $29 like we saw over the holiday weekend!), wait times at popular rides are lower, and crowds, in general, have been very light. It seems like early December is a great time to get all the holiday cheer in the parks without all the hassle of big crowds.
