Magic Kingdom
Now, you may be aware that Spring Break will soon be winding down, and you may think that visiting Magic Kingdom might be a lot less chaotic in the next few months. However, that isn’t always the case. There are some events that are coming to Disney World that will bring a LOT of people to the resort, with the majority of them visiting Magic Kingdom. So we’re going to let you know when those days are.
Are you planning to visit Disney World in April?
EPCOT
It’s a great time to visit Disney World, that’s for sure! You’re likely to get good weather that isn’t TOO hot just yet (although it might be rainy). Spring Break should be over, which means you won’t have serious crowds to contend with. The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival will still be going on, so you can enjoy all the beautiful topiaries AND amazing food. But we want to warn you about some things if you’re visiting in April, too.
How is it *checks watch* already APRIL?!
Cinderella Castle
We’re still a little messed up from the start of Daylight Savings Time, but we have to say time is moving FAST in 2024. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Country Bear Jamboree are set to open (and reopen) sometime this summer and we’ve been watching the construction move along. But before that happens, some exciting things are happening at Disney World in April. Let’s get into it, shall we?
It’s almost 2024, which means many things in Disney World.

We’re excited to experience new attractions and additions in the new year, which goes hand in hand with seeing some more construction projects completed around the resort. But it also means that new runDisney races are on the way, and Disney has just revealed the medals for the 2024 Springtime Surprise Weekend races!
Pixar fans, it’s time to lace up those running shoes!
It’s Woody and Jessie!
Disney announced previously that the theme of the 2023 runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend would be Pixar Pals, and now we have a first look at the designs for the race medals!
The runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend is right around the corner!

We’ve already seen what the merchandise is going to look like, and a small debacle with some missing medals, and now, there might be something else impacting your race weekend that is out of our control.
UPDATE: Disney has since emailed runners stating that the medals have arrived in time for the weekend.
People who love running AND Disney World probably already know all about runDisney races. These events take place inside Disney World (unless you sign up for the virtual races, of course), so runners get to race past iconic Disney landmarks like the Cinderella Castle and Tower of Terror.
