food IS a theme park
Some rides at Disney World are notable not just for their thrills and theming, but for their agonizingly long lines!
Lines are starting to get long!
Since most queues reach their peaks later in the morning or afternoon, these are the types of rides that you should be visiting FIRST thing in the morning!Â
There’s a lot of BAD Disney World advice out there, and we try to make sure to point it out to you when we can!

Some people say you should just go with the flow (yikes), not make any dining reservations (AH!), or even skip the most iconic snacks (omg please no!!!).

There are a couple of different options, including making use of the Lightning Lanes with Genie+ and Pay-Per-Ride. But if you’d rather not pay to skip the lines, another option is to get to the parks as early as possible. If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you qualify for Early Theme Park Entry, which means you can go into the Disney World theme parks before the other guests. So what exactly is Early Entry? And how should you spend your extra time in the parks? We’re answering all your Early Entry questions here. Let’s dive in! [Read more…]
It’s time for the $1,000 question (sometimes literally) — are you staying on-property or off-property at Disney World?

Disney World resort guests get certain perks, like being able to enter the theme parks early and use free transportation like buses, Monorails, and the Skyliner. But a lot of the hotels outside of Disney World are a LOT cheaper and are just as nice as (if not nicer than) those on-property hotels. So if you DO decide to stay off-property during your Disney World vacation, how can you tackle the theme parks to have an awesome day without the added perks? [Read more…]
If you’ve been to (or considered going to) Disney World recently, then you likely know that a single-day visit to the theme parks typically costs more than $100 a person making a day inside “the most magical place on earth” roughly $400-$500+ for a family of four.
Going to the parks certainly isn’t cheap!
Of course, that price can fluctuate depending on the season and the add-ons that you purchase, but you’ll be budgeting a few hundred (or even upwards of thousands of) dollars just to set FOOT in a Disney World park. So, if you’re dropping the big bucks on a day in any of the four parks, are you really getting your money’s worth? We’re breaking down the price of a Disney World ticket to let you know what every minute of your day really costs!

For a few months, the ride relied on a virtual queue system with boarding groups, the same system that was previously used on Rise of the Resistance. Disney stopped using the virtual queue for the ride this week, and in addition to that, the ride is available during Early Theme Park Entry for resort guests. We stopped by today to test it out ourselves!
