2 BIG Disney World Changes Nobody Is Talking About

By 2 Comments

2024 has been a year full of change at Disney World!

Magic Kingdom

One of the biggest changes happened over the summer when we said goodbye to Genie+ and hello to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. This new pay-to-skip-the-line service completely changed the way that Lightning Lanes were purchased and booked, and in some way, the new system mimics its predecessor, FastPass+. Many people seem to glance over two other changes that were made with this new system, but they are essential to think about, especially when planning your trip!

By 1 Comment

A trip to Disney World may give you some of your favorite memories and be an overall incredible time, but that doesn’t mean it’s a flawless experience.

Magic Kingdom

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE visiting Disney World — obviously. The amazing attractions and experiences, beautiful hotels, and delicious eats along with all the nostalgia we feel each trip keep us coming back for more. However, even we can acknowledge that it’s not always sunshine and rainbows when visiting “The Most Magical Place On Earth”.

Yes friends, it’s THAT time of year, according to Olaf! We’ve been running all around Disney World (but not literally running because that’s against the rules) to check out all the holiday celebrations taking place this year. We’ve already been to two holiday parties and eaten dozens of snacks, but now it’s time for one of the most important Christmas traditions…meeting Santa Claus!

Lightning Lane Premier Pass is Disney World’s new Lightning Lane option that is available for guests of Deluxe Resorts and other select hotels. This new version of Disney’s pay-to-skip-the-line system allows you to access every single Lightning Lane within a park one time. The biggest perk of this new Lightning Lane option is that you do not need to make any ride selections, just simply show up to any attraction with a Lightning Lane at anytime! If you are interested in trying out this new system we made a step-by-step guide for you to follow along with!

AVOID This At All Costs When Booking Your Disney World Hotel!

By 1 Comment

Booking your Disney World hotel can be more complicated than you may think.

Deciding where to stay in the first place is a challenge, considering there are over 20 different hotels on property to choose from, but there’s also the matter of getting the best deal. The lowest prices are almost always going to be at Disney World’s Value resorts while the Deluxe hotel stays will cost you the most (and Moderate resorts are in the middle), but Disney often has deals and discounts that can help you save. In fact, they have them so often that we’re telling you to NEVER book your hotel for full price.

 I Spent $185 for This Disney World Perk, and I’d Do It Again in a HEARTBEAT

By 5 Comments

While we are all about wanting to find ways to save money during our Disney World vacations, some perks are worth the splurge!

Magic Kingdom

For example, you can splurge on a Deluxe Resort to take advantage of Extended Evening Hours, where on select nights each week, one of the parks stays open two hours past park close. Or if you are staying at a Value Resort like Art of Animation Resort or Pop Century Resort, the difference between a standard and preferred room is around a $25 up-charge, depending on the time of year, which can really make your trip easier! There is one perk that anyone can purchase, regardless of if they are staying at a Disney World resort, and we think it is totally worth the $185.
