Pirates of the Caribbean

It’s time to take a look at this week’s average wait times! This week feels like a breath of fresh air at Disney World compared to last week! Last week, we saw intense crowd levels, and some pretty intense average wait times. Luckily, almost EVERY SINGLE ride’s wait time went down (and some by as much as 30 minutes!). While we’re still in the midst of Spring Break season, we lucked out this past week. [Read more…]

Magic Kingdom Is Off to a ROCKY START This Morning

By 2 Comments

We love a day in Disney World when everything goes perfectly. When we step inside the gate ready to ride some rides and everything is up and running and working properly — that is the perfect Disney morning.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. We’ve noticed that not all the rides are morning people either. So while it can us a while to wake up and get ready, apparently some of the rides feel the same way. A few rides in Magic Kingdom clearly did not get their coffee on the morning of March 20th because several of them were temporarily closed right when we got there!

16 Things That Happen In Disney Parks That Are Actually Disturbing When You Sit Back and Think About Them

By 3 Comments

The words “disturbing” and “the Disney Parks” are hardly ever used together in the same sentence — but we’re here to change that!

Ominous sky over Magic Kingdom

Wait Times Aren’t Letting Up This Week At Disney World — Here’s How You Can Pass Some Time

By 1 Comment

Phew, wait times are NOT budging in Disney World right now.

Get ready to enter the Grid!

We spend SO much time in lines at the Disney parks, and sometimes it just does not feel like we get a reprieve from the long wait times. This week is one of those weeks! The lines may feel endless at times, but the rides can be SO worth it. There are even some fun things you can do with your family in line — even if you’re not in an interactive queue. For example, you could play a classic game of “I Spy”, you could play “Heads Up” (an app you can get on your phone), or even just take in the scenery and enjoy the moment. Sometimes, doing fun things like that can take some of the pain out of the long wait times — now, let’s take a look at how long you’ll be occupying yourself! [Read more…]
