food IS a theme park
There are quite a few technicalities to work out if you’re planning a Disney World trip.
Magic Kingdom
What time of year do you want to visit? Where do you want to stay? Which dining reservations would you like to make? All important questions that can make or break your vacation. But for the past few years, we’ve had to ask one particularly difficult question…how do you want to get from the Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort?
Alright, it’s time to get it out there. I’ve got BEEF with the Orlando Airport, and it needs to be addressed.
Orlando Airport
If you’re going to Disney World soon, you’re probably either driving or flying there. And if you’re flying, there’s a good chance you’re flying into the Orlando International Airport (MCO). Because I live pretty far away from Orlando, I usually fly, and I always go through MCO. Over several times going through that airport, I’ve developed two major gripes with it, and I need to tell you about them so that you’re not caught unaware. [Read more…]
Traveling during the holidays can be a bit overwhelming.

Between longer wait times at security and potential flight delays and cancelations, mentally preparing yourself for some hiccups is a good idea. If you’re traveling through the Orlando International Airport (MCO) this season, we have some unfortunate news about another problem you might encounter: rideshare struggles.
You just had a great day at Magic Kingdom filled with sugary snacks, fun rides, and memories made.

Of course, most of us want to be in the park as long as possible on our Disney vacation. If you’re like us, you got there at rope drop. While you might not be ready to call it a day, there are a few reasons you might want to pack it up and head out.Â
When you’re on vacation, how do you get around?

In Disney World, there are a few ways to get from place to place with free transportation around the parks, but occasionally using rideshare platforms makes the most sense. Are you not renting a car and need to get to that reservation ASAP? Sometimes a Disney bus just isn’t going to cut it. Scheduling a Lyft is a great way to get where you need to go, and now they are rolling out a new program to help select drivers and passengers feel safer.
While the hotel buses, Monorail, boats, and Skyliner are all great ways to get to EPCOT, sometimes the only option for folks is ride share.Â

If you’re planning to utilize ride share and visit EPCOT soon, then you’ll want to keep reading! There’s a NEW ride share area at the park entrance, and it might trip you up if you’re not familiar with it.
When you travel around Disney World, do you just rely on Disney World transportation, or do you use rideshare services?

We know that Disney bus, Monorail, Skyliner, and boat transportation IS convenient, but sometimes you don’t have as much time to wait for that free transportation and need to get somewhere a little faster (or somewhere Disney transportation can’t get you to easily). But if you’re heading to EPCOT via rideshare anytime soon, we’ve got an update to share with you.
Have you decided to take a trip to Walt Disney World? Congratulations! The excitement starts the minute that you start planning your vacation.
Welcome to Disney World!
But where do you begin? Whether this is a first trip to Disney World or a repeat visit, it takes patience to research flights, transportation, hotels, dining, tickets, and more. We know that you have more questions than answers right now. You’re probably asking yourself all of these questions: Should I fly or drive to Orlando? Which Disney resort fits my touring plans? How does Disney transportation work? Where should we have a character meal? Which admission tickets do we need?
There is so much to see and do in Disney World!

Sometimes the best way to fit as much in as possible during a Disney vacation is to park hop!
There is much more to Disney World than just four theme parks. Besides the resorts and water parks, this area is also home to Disney Springs.
