food IS a theme park
Alrighty y’all, you know what time it is!

It’s time to take a look at this week’s average wait times! This week feels like a breath of fresh air at Disney World compared to last week! Last week, we saw intense crowd levels, and some pretty intense average wait times. Luckily, almost EVERY SINGLE ride’s wait time went down (and some by as much as 30 minutes!). While we’re still in the midst of Spring Break season, we lucked out this past week. [Read more…]
Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE the Disney World rides with a passion, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our critiques.
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is home to amazing E-ticket attractions such as TRON Lightcycle/ Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train as well as other classic rides such as Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain. In fact, we have a bone to pick — and words of warning — when it comes to the famous Disney coaster that launches you through space.
We love a day in Disney World when everything goes perfectly. When we step inside the gate ready to ride some rides and everything is up and running and working properly — that is the perfect Disney morning.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. We’ve noticed that not all the rides are morning people either. So while it can us a while to wake up and get ready, apparently some of the rides feel the same way. A few rides in Magic Kingdom clearly did not get their coffee on the morning of March 20th because several of them were temporarily closed right when we got there!
Spring Break has sprung at Walt Disney World!

If you have been to Disney World this week, we’re sure you know what we mean. Crowds have been HEAVY, wait times have been LONG, and we have been on the edge of our seats waiting to see if the crowds would let up (spoiler: they didn’t). We have seen some INTENSE wait time increases this week, so let’s see what’s been going on! [Read more…]
Phew, wait times are NOT budging in Disney World right now.
Get ready to enter the Grid!
We spend SO much time in lines at the Disney parks, and sometimes it just does not feel like we get a reprieve from the long wait times. This week is one of those weeks! The lines may feel endless at times, but the rides can be SO worth it. There are even some fun things you can do with your family in line — even if you’re not in an interactive queue. For example, you could play a classic game of “I Spy”, you could play “Heads Up” (an app you can get on your phone), or even just take in the scenery and enjoy the moment. Sometimes, doing fun things like that can take some of the pain out of the long wait times — now, let’s take a look at how long you’ll be occupying yourself! [Read more…]
If you happen to be in Magic Kingdom and notice that a certain ride queue is causing CHAOS, I know exactly which ride is the culprit.
Loooong line
Let me level with y’all: As a remote writer for DFB, I only actually go to Disney World a few times a year. However, I’m “there” every day with our fantastic reporters, as they send us updates and photos from the parks. And hardly a day goes by when I don’t see pictures of this loooong ride queue causing problems in Tomorrowland. But here’s the good news: I know how you can AVOID that super long line! [Read more…]
We have good news from Disney World!!!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Last week was, well, quite a week in the parks. In fact, it was one of the busiest weeks in all of 2024 so far! Between President’s Day Weekend and the Disney Princess Half Marathon, many people took time to visit the parks…but things are changing. We’re taking a look at the average wait times in Disney World from the past week and don’t worry — things are looking up!
You might think of February as a slow time in Disney World. Depending on the week in February, this could be right or wrong!
Crowds
February has a holiday weekend that you may have forgotten about — President’s Day — when many kids are off school. On top of that, Disney World also hosts the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend which runs from February 22nd to 26th, 2024, and brings massive crowds of runners to the parks. So what does that mean for the wait times at your favorite rides? Well, buckle up because it’s NOT pretty… .
One of the most important things to keep track of on your Disney vacation is the wait times!
Magic Kingdom
The My Disney Experience app can tell you when rides are closed and what the wait time trends look like for the day at every ride. Although it’s important to look at the times when you’re in the park, it’s also good to study wait time trends ahead of time! That’s why we’re here — to warn you about what’s going on with the wait times so you know what to expect on your next trip.
This is not a drill! Space Mountain at Tokyo Disney Resort is closing at the end of July! Disney just released ALL the details about a special celebration that’s taking place to say goodbye to Space Mountain as we know it in this park, and we are excited!

The parks are always in a constant state of change. New rides are built, and older rides are reinvented to create new experiences for guests. Even though it is hard to see certain rides go, we are also thrilled to see what the future holds!
Don’t mind us, we are just researching plane tickets to see if we can make it there for this celebration!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
