food IS a theme park
There are a number of special rules that apply to Disney World, but some of those could be CHANGING.
Mickey’s Ready to Fly!
We’ve shared a lot about the dissolution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District and what that could mean for the future. But there’s another change that one U.S. congressional representative wants others to consider.
Graduation season is upon us and there are LOTS of ways to celebrate in the Disney Parks!
Congrats 2022 Graduates!
In Disney World you can pick up a pair of Graduation Mickey Ears and over in Disneyland Grad Nite is returning as an exclusive event for graduates. And, it looks like those graduating from Indiana University won’t have to head to the parks to add some Disney to their big day!
There is a lot of competition when it comes to streaming services like Disney+ and Netflix.

Netflix has been a leader in the streaming world for a while now, but Disney+ is challenging that lead and is actually expected to pass Netflix in number of subscribers in the next few years. Netflix has also been losing subscribers, and now, a new move could cause them to lose even more.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
There have been a lot of changes to mask requirements around the country lately, and there may be more to come.
Face mask
Recently, many airlines as well as airports removed their mask mandates, as did rideshare services like Uber. A judge in Florida recently voided the federal mask mandate on public transportation, but now, that could change.
Got a bunch of streaming services you turn to after a long day at work? Maybe you prop up your feet on that recliner and log in to your Netflix account, or your Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, or other streaming service.

While Disney+ has definitely been focused on achieving its subscriber goal and has been working steadily toward it, one streaming service recently saw a huge decline.
Character meet and greets are BACK, baby!
The Astounding Donaldo at Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Magic Kingdom
Okay, maybe they’ve been back for a while, but April 18, 2022 marked the first day that TRADITIONAL character meet and greets have returned — without the social distancing. You can get back to the hugs, high fives, and autographs with your Disney pals. But which meet and greets are back and which are still missing? Let’s take a look at the COMPLETE list of traditional character meet and greets in Disney World.
Whether you’re visiting Disney World for one day or 7+ days, you’re probably trying to pack as much as humanly possible into your park days because…well…there’s just A LOT to do!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Between dining reservations, attractions, shows, and more, it can be hard to do it all. But, if you take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, or even just every minute that a park is open, you can probably come close!

There are A LOT of new and exciting things coming to EPCOT in the next year or so!
EPCOT
There’s the brand new walk-through experience Moana: Journey of Water, an upcoming Quick Service location that will replace Electric Umbrella, a new festival area in the center of World Celebration (which was formerly known as a portion of Future World), and more. But, perhaps one of the most highly anticipated projects is Disney World’s first-ever Marvel roller coaster — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Now, it seems like we’ve been waiting a long time for this ride to open, but we finally know exactly WHEN it will debut!
Today we shared the big news that traditional meet and greets are coming back to Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani.
Hey There Mickey!
But you may have missed an important detail within all of that news…
