If you’re in the situation where you really want to go to Disney World, but you’ve only got two days to get it all done…don’t freak out yet. It may seem like a daunting task (because there’s SO much to do across the property!), but a short vacation is completely doable. That’s why we’re sharing our tips for how to have a successful trip in just two days!
It’s the jolliest time of year in Disney World — the holidays!
The holidays are here!
Disney World wait times have been trending down over the past few weeks (after a VERY busy time period) but did Halloween affect those times at all? We were very surprised by the Halloween crowds but what are the average wait times as we head into November?
It’s officially time for the holiday season in Disney World, and that means a TON of festive eats, drinks, experiences, and more.
Jungle Cruise
Sure, we love all the delicious snacks and exclusive merchandise that Disney releases this time of year, and the special holiday events can’t be topped. But, one of our absolute FAVORITE parts about Christmastime in Disney World comes when the Jungle Cruise is transformed into the Jingle Cruise! This adventure ride has been given a holiday makeover, so come with us to check it out!
It’s almost Halloween, and just how SCARY are the ride wait times at Disney World?
It’s Halloween time!
We’ve seen some HIGH wait times this month but we’ve also seen some wait times going down. As we head into the holiday (and usually busier) season in Disney World, we’re taking a look at the wait times during the last week of October!
Picture this: You just finished watching Disney’s Emperor’s New Groove for the five-HUNDREDTH time and realized, there is NO ride themed to this movie in Disney World! No “pull the lever, Kronk” moment — NOTHING!

Then you start thinking and realize you also can’t actually go on a Lion King-themed RIDE (ride, not show) or a ride-themed to Tarzan. Imagine Phil Collins music blasting as you soar through the trees — why HASN’T that been made yet?! What gives?! Why won’t Disney make rides themed to your very favorite Disney movies? We have some ideas.
October can be one of the BEST times to visit Disney World — and the crowds prove it.
Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom!
Many people visit Disney World in October to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or eat at EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, or maybe you just want to take advantage of the slightly cooler weather and see all the Halloween decorations. Last week’s wait times were HIGH, so let’s check out this week’s average wait times!
If you want to visit Disney World in October, there’s one thing you need to prepare for — CROWDS.
Magic Kingdom
From visitors coming to Disney World for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, there’s a lot to do in October — and the wait times don’t lie. Last week wait times were holding steady as the holiday approached, but what about this week?
We’re fully into spooky season now, and Disney has been putting on all the celebrations!
Mickey pumpkins!
You can go to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, eat all of those pumpkin snacks, grab some fun merch, or even take some pics in front of those awesome pumpkins. With all of these festivities, it might make the parks more crowded during this time. Let’s find out by checking out the wait times from this past week in Disney World!
This week was not a normal one in Disney World.
Test Track
Hurricane Ian made its way through the state of Florida, causing the Disney World parks to close on Wednesday and Thursday. The parks did a phased reopening on Friday, where we did see a decent amount of people. So, what are crowds like during the week of a hurricane in Disney World? Let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week to find out.
