food IS a theme park
Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but sometimes things are a little less than magical.

Rides temporarily close. Refurbishments get scheduled. Transportation problems happen. Sometimes, though, it’s Disney’s technology that fails us, which seems to be the issue with the My Disney Experience app this morning. We want to give you a heads up if you’re planning on using Genie+ in Disney World today.
When you visit Disney World, do you rely on Disney transportation?
Disney World Skyliner
Do you use buses, boats, the Monorail, or the Skyliner to get to and from the parks and Disney Springs? Have you ever come across an issue when riding Disney World transportation? Why are we asking? Well, there are some problems you might face if you plan on relying only on Disney’s transportation system.
So you’ve planned a trip to Disney World, and you’re in the process of making your dream trip a reality.
Cinderella Castle
Well, there is SO much to figure out: from transportation to where you’re going to stay to whether you want to add park hopping to your tickets and more. So we’re going to let you know about problems you might face when traveling to Disney World so that you don’t end up with any nasty surprises.
Okay, so let’s chat about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We came, we saw, we ate, we conquered.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Map
There was a LOT going on with the first party, and we are WIPED. But we’re going to grab some caffeine and talk to you about some of the things we think you need to know if you’re headed to one of the parties soon. So let’s talk about some important warnings so you’re not surprised when you go to the party.
Let’s face it. Not everything at Disney World is a fan favorite.
Main Street U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom
We’re thinking about crowds, long wait times, and price increases. None of those immediately make you excited. This made us think about another divisive thing: Food. So, we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about the menus at Disney World. We asked and boy did you deliver!
While we love Disney World, there are plenty of things about the parks that aren’t our favorite.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve had plenty of snacks that aren’t our favorite, and any price hike makes us wince immediately. But what about our readers? What do YOU all despise most about Disney World? We asked, and you answered!
You might think you’ve got Disney “figured out.” You’re a Disney expert, right? You’ve been dozens of times and can walk the parks with a blindfold on. But, whether you’re a new visitor or repeat guest, there are some NEW PROBLEMS you need to be prepared for.
Magic Kingdom
No, it’s not the Park Pass system (though that will be changing in 2024). And it’s not Mobile Order struggles (though some of the system has changed recently in a way that can make things easier). Today we’re tackling 2 other things that could throw you off if you’re not totally ready for them.
We’ve seen all kinds of weather conditions in Disney World!
Rainy Day in Hollywood Studios
From extreme heat to surprising cold to hurricane season, we feel like we’ve seen it all. And since Disney World is located in hurricane country, the parks get an excessive amount of rain throughout the year. Because of that, we’ve seen some pretty wild flooding in Disney World, and we’re here to talk about it!
Listen, we’ll all admit — the Disney World app has a few flaws.
Genie+
We’ve seen the My Disney Experience app crash and cause issues multiple times in the past, whether that meant Mobile Order wasn’t working or that people ran into issues with pulling up their tickets and passes. But recently, Disney World had some pretty massive app problems that got in the way if you were doing…well, pretty much anything!
It’s been a wild time for annual passes lately.
Annual Passholder card
Yesterday, April 20th, all Disney World Annual Passes went back on sale and it was…well, a bit of a mess. For over a year, three out of the four pass types were unavailable for new purchases, so tons of people were looking to get their hands on one yesterday. The website struggled to handle all of the demand, and some people had to wait HOURS in the online queue before they could buy a pass. Eventually, Disney paused the process overnight — but sales resumed this morning. And we were shocked to see the changes.
