By Leave a Comment

By 4 Comments

Are there just some rides in Magic Kingdom that are non-negotiable every time you visit?

Pirates of the Caribbean

We know we prefer a lot of the classic rides. We can’t imagine not riding Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, or “it’s a small world” (hey, don’t judge us! We LOVE that song). Another classic that we can rely on is Pirates of the Caribbean, except, well, that ride has been particularly UNRELIABLE recently.

We’re Cringing at Tower of Terror in Disney World This Week — Here’s Why

By Leave a Comment

Disney World can be a fun and magical place, but there are some things that make us cringe.

Tower of Terror

Whether that’s something that looks gross (like some of the new Halloween snacks that were announced) or because one ride posts a multi-hour wait time, cringe-worthy things are all around. This week, that cringe-y thing is one of the most popular rides in Disney World — Tower of Terror.

Johnny Depp Comments on the Possibility of Returning to Disney

By 11 Comments

Many people, us included, are big fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Jack Sparrow

We also love riding the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World and Disneyland whenever we get the chance.

It’s been a while since Jack Sparrow’s last on-screen appearance, but now it seems Depp would be willing to return to Disney if the time is right.
