🚨ALERT: You May NOT Be Able To Visit Disney World Today

By Leave a Comment

This weekend is about to get really…interesting.

Disney World is going to get busy this weekend

Why? Well, earlier this year, we warned you that Disney World might see some BIG crowds one random weekend in February thanks to a cheer competition, and now, the crowds have arrived. Yesterday, February 9th, we saw the highest Genie+ price we’ve seen in over a month, suggesting Disney expected more demand for the service that day. Plus, Super Bowl Sunday could bring in some folks. Today, we’re seeing another sign that things are going to be super busy — Park Pass reservations are completely GONE for all four parks today.

IT’S OFFICIAL: A NEW Snack Stand Is Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

By 1 Comment

Is there anything more exciting than a new dining spot opening in Disney World?

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We don’t think so! We’ve already experienced a few openings recently, including Summer House on the Lake and Eet by Maneet Chauhan in Disney Springs. We recently noticed a new stand being built in Hollywood Studios, and now we’ve discovered that this will be a brand NEW snack stand!

NEW Disney Research Study Could Mean HUGE Changes for Jollywood Nights Holiday Party

By 2 Comments

Disney tried something NEW this past winter. Something ambitious and — in theory — perfect for its loyal audience of holiday party guests. So what went wrong?

Jollywood Nights

As you may know, events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are wildly popular. These parties sell out pretty much every year, and fans return over and over again. But Disney’s NEW Jollywood Nights holiday party didn’t seem to have the success many expected. Several party dates came and went without selling out, and the overall reception was lukewarm. Will Disney bring Jollywood Nights BACK in 2024? We may have a clue!

Fantasyland Smells Like Fried Food and Sunscreen, and It’s Glorious

By Leave a Comment

I go to Disney World for my job a LOT. Like, a lot, a lot.

Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle

In fact, I’m usually in the parks multiple times a week. Unfortunately, after a while, some things lose a little bit of their charm. Visiting The Emporium is less exciting when I’m fighting for my life while trying to take pictures of a new pair of Minnie ears, and Main Street, U.S.A. loses a tiny bit of its appeal when it’s slammed with fans before a parade. But no matter how many times I visit, some things never get old.

By Leave a Comment

It feels like there’s always something new happening in the Disney parks.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

Disney World alone has Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the updated Country Bear Jamboree show in progress in Magic Kingdom, as well as refurbishments coming up soon for Test Track in EPCOT. But now Disney has also started casting for the brand new show that’s coming this fall!

There’s Something NEW at the Former Star Wars Hotel Entrance in Hollywood Studios

By 1 Comment

It’s been nearly five months since the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser took its final voyage.

Galactic Starcruiser room

The Star Wars themed hotel permanently shut its doors on September 30th, 2023. Since then, many Disney fans have wondered what will take over the space — if anything at all. Fans paid tribute to the closed hotel by tying ribbons to the gate that used to lead to the hotel, but Cast Members soon closed the area off. Now, the passageway to the former hotel is being used for something else entirely!

We’re Starting To Wonder If These 2 Things Will EVER Return to Magic Kingdom

By 3 Comments

Sometimes Disney has to close down certain rides, restaurants, and attractions in order to update and refurbish them. Usually, those closures only last a few weeks or maybe a few months at most. But there are a couple of things that have been MISSING from Magic Kingdom for a LONG time now, and we’re starting to wonder if they’ll ever return at all!

Don’t Worry — Cinderella Castle Is Still There!

Let’s check out these mysteriously missing things and take a look at ALL the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from February 4th through the 10th.

Have you ever been to an After Hours event in Disney World?

Magic Kingdom After Hours

If you’re a big “run and ride” kind of Disney fan, these types of events are MADE for you. You purchase a ticket and come into the parks in the evening, then you get a few hours after it closes to enjoy several attractions with incredibly low wait times. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, then we have an important update!

When You CAN’T Use the Skyliner in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

A few years ago, Disney World added one BIG perk to select hotels.

Who’s up for a ride on the Skyliner?

That’s right, we’re talking about the Disney Skyliner! This new-ish form of transportation opened in 2019 and since then, those staying at Pop Century Resort, Art of Animation Resort, Caribbean Beach Resort, and Riviera Resort have been able to ride “The Most Magical Flight on Earth” to select locations. The Skyliner has been so popular, in fact, that sometimes people will park at Hollywood Studios just to hop on it and ride the loop! But if you’re hoping for a ride, you should know that there are certain times when you CAN’T ride the Skyliner in Disney World.

Um, Can We Talk About the Dismembered Droid Head Souvenirs at Hollywood Studios?

By 1 Comment

There are TONS of souvenirs to choose from on your Disney World trip. You name it — Disney’s (probably) got it.

Droid in Galaxy’s Edge

Some souvenirs are a little cheaper than others, like Disney pins, while others are way more expensive, like building a Lightsaber or Droid in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But recently, we spotted a souvenir that seemed pretty obscure, and you definitely need to know about it — especially if you own one of those cute little Star Wars droids.
