food IS a theme park
We have been seeing some unusual trends in Disney World parks crowds, and we noticed more strangeness going on today in Animal Kingdom.
Animal Kingdom
A few weeks ago, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios were sold out. It is rare to see Animal Kingdom sold out while reservations still remain for EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. Usually, Animal Kingdom is one of the last to sell out. But here we are again — seeing a similar trend at Animal Kingdom today!
There are a few days out of the year that we all expect Disney World to be busy.
Cinderella Castle
Those are days like New Year’s Eve, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and other major holidays. While those days are expected to be busy, other days can randomly pop up on the calendar that bring large crowds. And speaking of random days, we thought we would give you a heads-up on two upcoming days that you’ll want to be aware of!
TBH, we are RUNNING this week to bring you news of all the changes happening at Disney World!
Mickey and Minnie are total STARS!
We are bringing you all the ins and outs of the re-introduction of the Disney Dining Plan (which lets you bundle a pre-paid package with your hotel stay to cover your meals on your Disney World vacation), checking out changes to the rules for virtual queues, and we’ll be at the parks on January 9th to test the NEW park hopping rules (you can now park hop anytime and not wait until 2PM 🥳).
Go ahead and mark January 8th, 2024 on your calendar because, for Disney, it could be a doozy.
Magic Kingdom
As you know there are a TON of changes happening at Disney World on January 9th, 2024, but there could be a lot of issues that will make things really hectic on the 8th for Disney.
Some big changes are coming to Disney World in 2024!
Magic Kingdom
From virtual queue changes to grand openings and special events, 2024 is going to look a lot different than 2023 at Disney World. In case you forgot, we’re here to remind you of perhaps the biggest change announced — the park pass system is getting a complete overhaul in January!
2024 is coming fast whether you’re ready or not!
Magic Kingdom
If you didn’t know, there are SO MANY NEW things coming to Disney World — new rides, restaurants, and more! That’s all well and good (and we’re stoked for all that), but it’s not going to be all smiles. With all the new things that are coming, there’s bound to be some NEW PROBLEMS that you’ll have to face at Disney World in 2024!
Disney’s new park pass reservation rules have officially gone into effect, and with that has come a slight change to virtual queues.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Now that people with date-based tickets do NOT need to make a park reservation, they are able to book a virtual queue for any ride with one in either park (Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, currently) at the 7AM drop. Currently, TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT are the only two rides with virtual queues. But will they be sticking around and could we see others join the lineup? Here are our thoughts.
We have passed Christmas and are nearing ever closer to 2024!
Magic Kingdom
This week is when we really start to see the crowds hit Disney World. Everyone celebrating the holidays is still visiting the parks, and now, those who want to be there to ring in the New Year are starting to join. We noticed a few not-so-subtle clues that indicate the parks are going to be busy today (and most likely the rest of the week)!
Can you believe it? 2024 is almost here!
Magic Kingdom
And with the new year, there are a TON of things coming to Disney World — new rides, restaurants, and more! We’re beyond stoked for all that’s new, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are a couple of things that we’re dreading when we think about Disney World in 2024!
2024 is almost here. Aren’t you glad you’ve already purchased those Disney World tickets?!
