food IS a theme park
Let’s be real. You spend more time at Disney World waiting in lines than you do actually riding rides.
Haunted Mansion Queue in Disney World
That’s why the queues are a very important part of making the rides and attractions what they are! There are immersive ride queues, interactive ride queues, and even ride queues with BATHROOMS! Today, we’re here to chat about things that are in some Disney World ride queues that desperately need to be added to ALL Disney World ride queues!
We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we had a feeling this morning that crowds were back at Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
In late-March and early-April, we saw an influx of crowds as spring breakers took over the parks. They slowly dwindled, and all was righted as we had a respite from the intense crowds for a few weeks. Are those crowds BACK?!
It’s time to start thinking about all things yummy eats in EPCOT!

Disney World can be a confusing place. It’s true.
Cinderella Castle
The parks are massive, there are exciting things around every turn, and if you’re not used to being in the parks a whole lot, it can truly feel like a maze. That’s when the Disney World app comes in handy! From the app, you can access maps of the parks so that you can get to where you’re goin’ with ease. Plus, there are physical maps that you can pick up around the parks as well. There’s only one problem. These maps don’t really help if you need help finding something INDOORS.
There are so many fun things to do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Sure, you’ve got some amazing rides like Tower of Terror. You can also step INTO Star Wars in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. You can get shrunk down to the size of a toy in Toy Story Land. The movies theme is STRONG here. However, one movie-themed experience at this park will be closing soon for a refurbishment.
I never thought I’d be writing about the “F Word” for work, but here we are!
Haunted Mansion
I was a Disney World Cast Member, and I’m here to tell you about the word that most of you have probably heard Cast Members use a LOT when you’re in the parks. I used to work over at the Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom, and I used this word multiple times a day every day. Can you guess what it is?
It’s already the middle of April 2024? How did that happen?
Short Rib French Dip Flatbread at Ale & Compass
It’s been a busy week in Disney World, too. We learned about a new exclusive lounge coming soon to Disney World. We’ve been getting some clues about what other Tiana-themed things could be coming to Disney World (hint: we want to see a restaurant!). We’re also just waiting for Disney to announce an official opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. (we think we’ll know really soon). Meanwhile, Disney World restaurants were busy changing, like they always do.
May The Force be with you, Star Wars fans.
Millennium Falcon
We bet you’ve spent a lot of time hanging out in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You’ve probably taken a spin on Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run once or twice (or maybe a lot more). But did you know that you could access a special mode on that ride that could change the entire experience?
There are TONS of things to do and see in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Each park has lots of rides, shows, dining options, character meet-and-greets, and more. Unfortunately, some of those attractions have to be closed for refurbishment every once in a while. If you take a look at Disney World’s websites or wander around the parks, you’ll notice that 13(!!) attractions will continue to be closed this week!
