food IS a theme park
We have to warn you about something in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
There are so many aspects that go into planning a trip — the hotel, the travel, the tickets, the dining reservations, and MORE. So it is our duty to let you know about what’s going on with Disney World wait times right now!
It was an eventful weekend for those of us who LOVE the Disney Parks.
Disney World
Yes, this weekend, we tuned in to the Destination D23 event where we learned all sorts of news regarding things coming soon to the Disney Parks. We learned that Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will open on October 16th, some new meet and greets would land in the parks, and we even heard about an all-new nighttime spectacular coming to EPCOT. For those of you who love Magic Kingdom and the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, you’re probably most excited about the new Pirates tavern coming soon!
Have you ever thought about what your favorite Disney World ride is? I mean, really thought about it?
Haunted Mansion
As you know, there are a ton of rides you can choose from. So, we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about having to live on one ride and one ride only at Disney World. We asked and boy, did you deliver!
If you’re anything like us, you tend to check on the wait times ahead of your Disney World trip so that you know what to expect.
Cinderella Castle
It’s good to be prepared for which rides are posting the highest wait times, note any that are consistently low, and decide ahead of time if you think you should buy Genie+. But there’s one important thing that you may not be taking into consideration — ride closures!
Ahoy there, mateys! A new gathering spot is coming soon!
Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom
Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction has had quite the influence, spawning a series of films based on the ride, themed pirate nights aboard the Disney Cruise Lines, and now one more pirate-inspired location is set to weigh anchor at Disney World. [Read more…]
Each week, we take a look at the average wait times at each ride in Disney World, but this week there were some unusual challenges.
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Idalia
Hurricane Idalia made its way to Florida bringing bad weather to most of the state, including Disney World. The theme parks did not close, however, Typhoon Lagoon and the mini golf courses closed for one day due to weather. During hurricane weather like this, Disney World has cancelation policies allowing guests to move their trips, and looking at the wait times, it is clear that many people did not come into the parks.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be the hardest Disney World park to navigate — and we get it! We go to Disney World every day and we see how hard it can be to try to do everything in the park.
Hollywood Studios
With summer break, we saw wait times skyrocket at many of the popular attractions including rides in Hollywood Studios like Rise of the Resistance and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Now, it’s Halloween season in the parks and crowds are changing, but one thing remains certain — looooooooonnnnggggg wait times at Slinky Dog Dash!
With the world we live in, it can be easy to get stuck in the negativity. BUT, there are things worth celebrating!
EPCOT
When it comes to the realm of Disney, we’ve gotten some good news recently including the opening of Shiki Sai in EPCOT and a new look at the Moana attraction logo. Now, we’re back with more good news from Disney World and it will impact just about everyone that is visiting the parks soon!
If you’re wanting to plan a Disney World trip, you may be wondering “When is the best time to visit Disney World?”
Cinderella Castle
Well, that answer totally depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during summer or spring break. Do you want to be in the crowds on the opening day of a major attraction like Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana (which is coming to EPCOT this year)? Prepare for busy parks. If you are someone who is seeking lower crowds and wait times on a Disney World trip, you may want to wait.
BOO! Did we scare you?
Mickey
It’s spooky season in Disney World and we’re celebrating the best way we know how: at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! There are treats to try, merch to shop, and of course — rides to ride! Not just any rides, either, because certain attractions are totally transformed for the party — and we’re bringing you with us to check them out!
