food IS a theme park
We love to drop in to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and see what’s happening in the park. (If you’re a fan of the Tower of Terror ride, you’ll appreciate that fantastic pun 😂.)
Tower of Terror!
Recently, we’ve checked out some of the special characters that Hollywood Studios has and dined at the NEW Rodeo Roundup BBQ restaurant! Since we’re in the Disney World parks every day, we’ve got a pretty good grasp of what’s new in each one. Today we found something interesting at the Tower of Terror ride.
Put your game face on — it’s spring break season in Disney World!
Be ready for crowds!
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, beware! The spring break crowds have arrived and they are not easy to handle. We’ve seen Genie+ hit its highest price recently and the price for the skip-the-line service is based on demand. So what are the wait times like in Disney World right now?
Want to visit Disney World during the slow season? Well, you’re going to want to wait.
Things are BUSY in Disney World right now
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times along with spring break crowds! This comes right before the soft opening (and official opening) of TRON Lightcycle / Run, the grand opening of Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and so much more.
It’s spring break season and there is a lot happening at Disney World!
Crowds
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, there are new treats to try, the 50th anniversary is ending soon, and TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening in less than a month! So with all of this excitement and the spring break crowds heading to the parks, what do the wait times look like right now?
When is the BEST time to go to Disney World?!
Cinderella Castle
Well, that answer totally depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during summer or spring break. Do you want to be in the crowds on the opening day of TRON Lightcycle / Run? Prepare for busy parks. If you are someone who is seeking lower crowds and wait times on a Disney World trip, right now might be the best time to visit Disney World!
If you were hoping to visit Disney World during the slow season, you’ve officially missed out.
It’s almost EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival time!
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times! This comes right before March which kicks off spring break season, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, more TRON previews, and more.
Are you ready?
Crowds
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, beware! The crowds are already starting to pick back up. We saw the highest price for Genie+ we have in WEEKS and that price is based on demand. We’ve also noticed more crowds in the parks as people flock to Disney World for the holiday weekend. Spring break is right around the corner as well. But what were the wait times like in the calm before the storm?
Although this is Disney World’s calm before the storm (the storm being spring break crowds), there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks right now!
Tree of Life
TRON Lightcycle / Run is now in previews with its first-of-a-kind Disney ride feature, adaptive seating, and on-ride photos. The Festival of the Arts is still happening in EPCOT (even though it’s almost over!). There are plenty of new delicious eats to try all over Disney World. Maybe that’s why we started to see the wait times go UP this week!
When is the BEST time to go to Disney World?!
Magic Kingdom
Well, the answer all depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during spring break. Do you want to be a part of the action when a brand new ride like TRON Lightcycle / Run opens? Prepare to visit when the parks are busy. If you are someone who is seeking lower wait times on a Disney World trip, right now might be the best time to visit Disney World!
We’ve had another BIG week of Disney news!
TRON Sign
Not only did the 100th anniversary celebration kick off in Disneyland, but we got some major announcements for TRON Lightcycle / Run which is set to open on April 4th, 2023. You may think this time between the holidays and spring break/TRON’s opening is slow, but the wait times are telling us otherwise.
