food IS a theme park
We get that change is inevitable — especially at Disney World –but that doesn’t always mean it’s necessary.
Magic Kingdom
This year has been PACKED with new theme park additions and changes, including several Lightning Lane adjustments. With the existence of Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass in addition to the future rollout of Lightning Lane Premier Pass, Lightning Lane access has never been higher — which spells trouble for standby lines at Disney World.
It’s the week of Christmas, and you know what that means — Disney World is BUSY.
It’s the holiday season in Disney World!
We saw high crowd levels in Disney World for Thanksgiving week, and we already got a hint of the Christmas crowds last week in Disney Springs. If you’re visiting Disney World for the holidays, we’re here to tell you that the holiday crowds have officially arrived!
Now that Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (Pay-Per-Ride) have launched in Disney World, there are more ways than ever to get on attractions.
Flight of Passage Queue
You can use the standby line, you can pay for Genie+ to skip the lines on certain attractions, or you can pay a separate fee for the most popular attractions to skip the lines there. But one more option is still available in the Disney World parks!
Disney has just shared a ton of new details regarding which attractions, entertainment, and shopping experiences we can start looking forward to enjoying when the theme parks reopen on July 11th and July 15th respectively.

And while we’ve known a new reservation system has been in the works for some time to help manage attendance levels, we suspected Disney World might also implement new virtual queues for its rides to aid in reducing crowds.BUT, that no longer seems to be the case.

Recently it dawned on us while we’ve been dishing out Disney World advice to our family and friends that some of the theme parks’ biggest challenges might no longer be applicable when the parks reopen!
We Feel Ya, Mickey Mouse
Yes, we’re bummed that certain guest experiences are being modified or will be temporarily unavailable for a large portion of 2020, but try to look on the bright side — with less stuff happening, we might be in for a MUCH easier time at the parks when Disney World officially reopens July 11th and July 15th!
While we’re growing more used to our new normal with every passing day at home, we’re still having trouble imagining what the parks will be like when they reopen.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve already explored which new protocols Disney might use to ensure only healthy guests are allowed entry, and we recently got more information about how Shanghai Disneyland will handle their reopening on May 11th.
Armed with information about how other theme parks and vacation destinations are handling reopenings, we may finally be getting a few answers to our questions about what Disney World will be like when it reopens.
