food IS a theme park
These days, it can sometimes feel like Disney rides are closing left, right, and center!
Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland
No, don’t worry, most of them are not closing PERMANENTLY. Some attractions have just been shutting down for a little while to get general maintenance.

Today, ANOTHER popular ride is closing for a little while!

But, all these mistakes are avoidable and we’re going to let you in on all our little tips and secrets that will ensure you enjoy your visit to Disney Springs!

February is almost over, and usually that would mean the end of the slow season in Disney World and the beginning of Spring Break crowds…but not this year!

So, how much worse did the average wait times get? Let’s take a look!
