food IS a theme park
Today is the first day of EPCOT’s 2022 Food & Wine Festival, and we’ve spent all day trying ALL the eats around the park! We’ve had plenty of sweet treats along the way, and now it’s time for the cherry on top.
Spaceship Earth
EPCOT has been decorated for this festival with photo ops, signs, and banners all around the park. But now Spaceship Earth is getting in on the fun with a NEW look! [Read more…]
Here’s the thing — some lines are just better than others in Disney World.
Who wants to spend their time waiting in line?
We know everyone has different opinions, but we bet people probably enjoy the lines for things like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run or Expedition Everest over Tomorrowland Speedway. Theming, space, and air conditioning definitely play a role, so you want to make sure you’re not spending a ton of time in those hot, boring queues. But, can you avoid these long lines? Let’s take a look at the wait times from this week to find out!
Can you believe 2022 is halfway over?!
It’s going by so fast!
We feel like it was just January, but then we blinked, and now it’s July! Pretty soon, Halloween festivities will start appearing in the parks (yup, seriously!). But for now, we can still enjoy the summer and those lovely long wait times that come with the season. Let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT might just be one of Disney World’s most iconic sights.
Spaceship Earth at Night
Ahead of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, the icon-that’s-also-an-attraction got an upgraded lighting scheme that allows Imagineers to do a lot of creative nighttime light effects. We’ve seen Spaceship Earth with its EARidescent shine on, but we’ve also seen it pay homage to The Muppets and light up in beautiful holiday colors. Now, Spaceship Earth is about to get a patriotic look!
Are there any rides in Disney World that you would wait for no matter HOW long the wait time was?
Cinderella Castle
Maybe it’s Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance, Space Mountain, Frozen Ever After, or even Living with the Land (we see you!). Whichever ride it is, we can bet that even though you would wait in a long line, you would probably rather not. That’s when you turn to Disney Genie+ or rope dropping to help out! So, which rides do you need to have a plan for to avoid a super long wait? Let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week in Disney World to find out!
There are some pretty cool queues in Disney World! Seriously, some of the theming is SO intricate, like on Rise of the Resistance and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Then, there are queues that are interactive, like over at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Peter Pan’s Flight.

These rides definitely reign superior to those that are almost completely outside with nothing to do, or for those where you’re basically just standing in the dark (looking at you, The Seas with Nemo and Friends!). Luckily, the rides with the longest wait times usually (not always) tend to have pretty interesting queues. So, let’s take a look at which lines you’ll be spending the most time in line at in Disney World soon by checking out last week’s wait times!
As many Disney World fans know, there is a LOT more to do in the parks than just go on rides!
The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!
You can shop for merch, eat delicious food, watch fun shows, go on exciting scavenger hunts, and meet some of your favorite characters. But, let’s face it — the rides are a BIG deal in the parks, which is why you see those high wait times! With summer here, that usually means big crowds, so let’s check out how bad the wait times were this past week in Disney World.
Do you ever wonder HOW much time you spend waiting in line in Disney World?
There are a TON of lines you might not expect in Disney World!
It’s obviously different for everyone, depending on what you decide to do during your trip. But, you probably end up waiting in more lines than you think you will — lines to check-in to your hotel, for transportation, to scan into the parks, to check-out of stores, for quick-service food, for the bathroom, and obviously, for rides. Ride lines can be a huge time suck during your trip, so let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week in Disney World to get an idea of how much time YOU could spend waiting for your favorite attractions soon!
If you’re planning a Disney World vacation right now, you’re probably thinking about what hotel to stay at, which parks you want to visit, and whether or not you want to use Disney Genie+.

You should also be considering the crowds for when you want to visit Disney World, because this could help determine a lot of your plans. If you’re going soon, be aware that the summer crowds are on their way — let’s take a look at this week’s average wait times to see just how busy the parks are so far!
SO many exciting things are happening in Disney World soon!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
