food IS a theme park
It is no secret that you do a lot of walking while on vacation at Disney World!
Walking down Main Street
Getting those steps in is just part of the Disney World experience. Since you are on your feet so much, you must find a comfortable pair of walking shoes. We go to Disney World every day, so we have learned what works best for us, but there is a major Disney World shoe debate. Are you Team Crocs or Team Sneakers?Â
Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about visiting Disney World. We visit every day, and we have learned a lot of tips and tricks!
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Some of the hacks we have learned are only known by the smartest Disney World fans and have made visiting Disney World so much easier! Today, we are going to let you in on a little secret and share some of these tips, so the next time you go to Disney World, you can consider yourself an even smarter Disney World fan!
We’ve warned you about that finicky Florida weather.
A rainy day in Magic Kingdom
It’s especially chaotic this time of the year. We’ve seen super cold days, as well as hot days. We’ve also seen a lot of rainy days (if it doesn’t rain at least ONCE on your Disney World trip, are you really in Orlando, Florida?). Although rainy days can put a bit of a dampener (see what we did there?) on your day in the parks, it could also give you the best park day ever. Why? Because rainy days tend to keep crowds away.
If you’re going to a Disney park on vacation, you might be expecting lovely weather!
Mickey Mouse at Disneyland
After all, the domestic Disney parks are located in California and Florida — states known for their sunshine. But if you’ve ever been to Florida in the summertime, you know that it rains nearly every day…and now it seems California is getting the same treatment in February. We’ve got a weather WARNING for those heading to Disneyland Resort soon!
Disney World sees more than its fair share of thunderstorms.

But most of the time, we’re accustomed to seeing those thunderstorms during Florida’s rainy season in the summer. But tomorrow, severe weather could impact Disney World … in January. Let’s take a closer look at the forecast.
If you’ve been to Disney World even once, you probably know that rain can literally happen at any given moment.
Rainy Day at Magic Kingdom
It can rain frequently in Central Florida. And when that happens, you’ll want to know what to do. There are some places that are better than others to ride out the rain storm. Here’s a list of the places you don’t want to be caught in Disney World during a rain storm.
There are a few reasons why you might need to LEAVE the Disney World parks in the middle of the day.
Animal Kingdom
Maybe you’ve got a dining reservation at one of the resorts or Disney Springs that you can’t miss. Maybe you’ve got some little ones who need a nap at the hotel and some cool-down time at the pool. Or maybe, you’re not prepared to stick it out when bad weather starts rolling your way!
If you’ve been to Disney World even once, you probably know that rain can literally happen at any given moment.
Rainy day at EPCOT
The weather can completely disrupt your day, close down rides, and probably leave you soaked and miserable by the end of the day (although we DO have some tips to prepare for the weather). But what if there is a good side to the rain? What if you could score a HUGE discount, but ONLY when it rains in Disney World?Â
Disney World vacations are COMPLICATED!
So many things to organize and think about: booking flights, finding the right hotel, getting your park tickets, park pass reservations, making dining reservations, and learning how to navigate My Disney Experience and decide if you need Genie+ or not. Wouldn’t it be nice if Disney just made it easy? Well, we can’t control Disney, but we can help you navigate these decisions and suggest some items to make sure you bring with you to help your vacation be even easier!
Despite whatever tale you may have heard about a dome stretching across Disney World that allows the powers that be to control the weather — it, unfortunately, isn’t true.
Rain in Hollywood Studios
That was never clearer than on a recent evening when EPCOT guests spotted what appeared to be some sort of funnel-shaped cloud forming over Spaceship Earth. So, was there really a tornado at EPCOT recently? And, what if you’re stuck in severe weather while you’re in Disney World? Luckily, we’ve got the answers.
