food IS a theme park
There can be a lot of unexpected problems that come up during your Disney World vacation.
Tram to the Transportation and Ticket Center
The weather can cause ride closures, you could forget your phone charger at the hotel, or someone in your group could get sick. Many of these issues you can plan for ahead of time and find solutions, which we like to help you out with! So, we want to talk about another unexpected problem you might run into in Disney World, and how to handle it.
Unless you own magic shoes or happen to be a master of pain, you’re probably familiar with the feeling of sore feet after a long day of walking in Disney World. If you’ve ever had to park in one of Disney’s MASSIVE parking lots, you know that finding your way back to your car can add an extra hundred steps to your already impressive step count. It’s exhausting! Luckily, Disney offers a tram service that takes guests to and from the front of the Ticket and Transportation Center. (Disney used to have trams running in all four parks, but currently, only the Magic Kingdom tram is operational.)
Beep Beep!!
Now, some construction is impacting the Magic Kingdom trams, so your ride to the Ticket and Transportation Center might look a little different (for now!).
This week was…weird. Especially in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle is looking pretty shiny!
Magic Kingdom had a visit from the fire department, a ride evacuation, huge crowds, and you’ll NEVER guess in a million years the odd sight we came across in Adventureland. Check out all the unexpected news here!
Hey there, DFB friends! We’re back with more unexpected Disney World news from the week, and this week was a bit UNUSUAL to say the least.
It was hard to see Cinderella Castle!
You may have heard that there was a FIRE at Cinderella Castle (everyone is fine, no one was hurt!) and surprisingly, that’s not the only big news of the week! Take a look at everything else unexpected that happened there.
If you’re planning to visit Disney World, you might be thinking of using Disney transportation during your trip.
Monorail Time
One of the most beloved forms of transportation is the Disney World Monorail. The monorail is iconic, fun, and convenient. But, the monorail isn’t perfect. It can experience technical issues and go “down” for extended periods. Today, we got caught in the middle of a technical issue with one monorail line that caused us quite the delay.
If you’ve been to Disney World before, chances are you know that feeling: you just want to get from one side of Magic Kingdom to the other, but you’re met with a wall of crowds or a parade or cavalcade, slowing you down big time! Well, did you know that there are SECRET walkways that can help you avoid those crowds?
Main Street, U.S.A.
Okay, so maybe these walkways aren’t a complete secret, but there are often-overlooked walkways in the parks that can help you save some time while getting from point A to point B — or, at least it will make your walk more pleasant and crowd-free. With the 50th Anniversary Celebration bringing in plenty of visitors, it’s more important than ever to be aware of where the shortcuts and alternate routes are in the parks!
No matter how much you plan, sometimes there can be hiccups during your Disney World trip.
Rain in Disney
You could get an unexpected storm roll through while you’re trying to enjoy the parks, your favorite ride could be down, or that piece of merchandise you really wanted could be sold out. Transportation can be another major issue, which is exactly what’s happening right now in Disney World!
Howdy from Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle has been redecorated for the 50th Anniversary!
We’re at the parks alllll the time keeping an eye out for new things to tell you about, so come with us as we share what’s new at Magic Kingdom!
Waiting is a typical part of any theme park experience. You probably expect to wait in lines for rides, food, or merchandise, but there may be a wait you haven’t thought about.
60 minute wait for Tower of Terror
If you plan to drive to Disney World, you may anticipate simply parking your car and walking into a Disney Park. Easy peasy. But if you want to be inside a Disney Park as quickly as possible, there’s a wait you might not have considered.
What’s a trip to Disney World without stopping in at the Magic Kingdom?
