food IS a theme park
Some Disney souvenirs are so popular that they sell out FAST but if you’re lucky, you might be able to snag those items when (and if!) they get restocked. That’s what could happen to you on an upcoming trip, but you may want to act fast.
Cinderella Castle
Earlier this year, Disney released a special 100th Anniversary Cinderella’s Carriage popcorn bucket at Disneyland. That bucket eventually made its way to Disney World and quickly SOLD OUT. But now we have some exciting news.

But, this skip-the-line service is changing in 2024 — we just don’t exactly know how yet. Disney has shared that updates will be coming to Genie+ next year, and we’re sharing everything we know so far about what might change.
One of the best ways to experience a theme park in Disney World is to attend an After Hours event.
Hollywood Studios during After Hours
Those who purchase tickets to these special After Hours events get to spend time in the parks with fewer crowds (as the tickets are limited), shorter lines, free snacks and beverages, and more. One of the most popular After Hours events happens in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but if you were thinking about attending that one, you’re probably out of luck.
You’ll often hear folks stress just how busy Disney World can be over holiday weekends — including us.
Genie+
So, it’s no wonder that you’d probably expect to need to use Genie+ when you’re in the parks if you want the best chance of getting on your favorite rides. Or at least, that used to be the case anyway — here’s what you FORGET about using Genie+ in Disney World.
By now, you’ve probably heard all the rules and everything else you need to know about Genie+ — but have you truly become one with the service yet?

And, what might be the most important of all — how are you going to tackle those rides?! You could be a staunch standby supporter and wait in lines the old-fashioned way, or you could pay more to skip the lines with Genie+. But, do you still even need Genie+ in Disney World?
Disney dropped some HUGE news about its Star Wars hotel this week.
Captain Keevan aboard the Halcyon
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser opened last year for two-night voyages aboard the starship Halcyon that allowed visitors to live out their ULTIMATE Star Wars dreams by becoming part of the onboard Star Wars story. Not only that, but they also got to have unique dining experiences, get lightsaber training, help fly the ship from the bridge, and more. However, Disney announced this week that the Halcyon would make its last voyage at the end of September 2023. Well, that voyage is now officially sold out.
Popcorn buckets are a BIG deal in Disney World.

There was a RUCKUS when Disney World first released the Figment Popcorn Bucket in EPCOT. The Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket was also quite popular over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Right now, the most popular popcorn bucket seems to be the new Disney100 Cinderella Coach Premium Popcorn Bucket, which is currently completely sold out.
