food IS a theme park
Have you ever been to Disney World on a special holiday? Because it is something ELSE.
Disney
You probably know about the special celebrations for Halloween and Christmas, but they’ve also had unique offerings for the 4th of July, New Year’s Eve, and many other holidays in the past. And if you’re visiting soon for Easter, then there’s a special celebration you don’t want to miss!
Every day is a great day when we have a chance to venture out to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Disney has been debuting new treats and merch so we’ve rounded up some of the most recent things we spotted out in the parks and can’t wait to share them with you! [Read more…]
To say the holiday travel season was a little chaotic is a great understatement. Even after bad weather grounded flights all over the U.S., Southwest Airlines continued to cancel thousands of flights FOR DAYS even after the weather had cleared, leaving passengers stranded.

As the problem dragged on, Southwest Airlines’ CEO released a public apology video. Eventually, Southwest’s flight schedule returned to normal, and the airline began issuing refunds to affected passengers. However, for some, that isn’t enough, and a lawsuit has been filed against the company.
You’ve probably heard us mention that your Disney World experience can vary wildly depending on what time of year you visit.
Magic Kingdom
Weekends and holidays tend to be the busiest, and we often see crowds start to dissipate come January and early September. But, it doesn’t look like that’s the case just yet. The crowds are still out in Disney World — and we think we might just know why!
Happy New Year!
Everyone seems to be heading towards the castle!
It’s officially 2023 and we’re celebrating the only way we know how — by spending the day in Disney World, of course. We’re taking everything in as the holiday season comes to an end, and apparently, we’re not the only ones — let’s see what the crowds are like in Disney World on New Year’s Day!
Happy New Year’s Eve from Disney World!
Main Street U.S.A. Christmas Decorations
There is plenty to see and do around the parks on this festive day, like special treats, merch, entertainment, and more — and we’re bringing you along as we check it out. But, we’re not the only ones ringing in the New Year in Disney World, so let’s take a look at the crowds!
The holiday season brings some of the biggest crowds to Disneyland Resort.
It’s holiday season!
There’s so much going on, after all. There’s the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays. There are the holiday decorations. There are all the holiday snacks. Previously, when the parks got too full — which happened often this time of year — Disneyland would close the gates. Things now, though, are a lot different and those gates are expected to remain open every day.
So it’s probably no secret that the holiday season brings serious crowds to Disney World. That also means some seriously high wait times.
Cinderella Castle with holiday crowds
Granted, we haven’t seen as many crowds as we expected recently, but we have seen high wait times. And today, the EPCOT crowds are HEFTY!! On the flip side of that, things are a little…different in Magic Kingdom. The park that generally has the HIGHEST wait times has some relatively low wait times today!
If you’ve got a little one sitting next to you, cover their eyes…because we’re about to show something SCARY.
*screams*
Did anyone else scream?! Yep, those are the crowds in Disney World today, specifically EPCOT. The parks typically get pretty busy in the week between Christmas and New Year, but what we’re seeing today is unlike any other crowds we’ve seen this year. Don’t believe us? Keep scrolling to see the proof.
The holidays can be a stressful time for lots of people. Add weather complications into the mix and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
Southwest
A holiday travel warning was issued by President Biden earlier this week, and delays and cancelations already started affecting airports before Christmas Day arrived. But one popular airline, in particular, has been at the center of some of this travel nightmare.
