food IS a theme park
Major changes are about to hit Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
It was announced that Disney World would be getting eight new rides, which is super exciting, but in order to enjoy these rides, we have to deal with construction. You can expect to see construction in all four parks starting in 2025. Not only does construction mean walls around the parks, but it also means that we can expect lengthy closures, like Big Thunder Mountain’s year-long closure in Magic Kingdom.
It is finally time to go down the bayou with Tiana and all of her friends at Disneyland!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
While Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disney World over the summer, Disneyland’s version of the ride opened today! With the opening of this attraction, Bayou Country, which was re-imagined from Critter Country, is also officially complete! We are here on opening day, and we were surprised by the crowd levels in Bayou Country on this attraction’s opening day.
We are less than two months away from the start of 2025!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World will see significant changes when the new year rolls around. The first round of closures will hit DinoLand U.S.A., and we can expect to see construction start on projects in all four parks. So many new offerings will open, including two new lounges, Test Track 3.0, Zootopia: Better Zoogether, Disney Starlight, The Little Mermaid—A Musical Adventure, and the Disney Villains stage show. Whew! That is a lot of change in one year!Â
While Disney World is the one calling the shots on changes, we want to throw our hat in the ring as we hope these four things change in Disney World in 2025!
Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but sometimes some not-so-magical things happen.Â
Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Sometimes, things go wrong during your vacation, but that is why Disney World has trained its Guest Relations Cast Members to help you out when something goes wrong. All of the parks have a dedicated area where you can speak to Cast Members about any issues, questions, or concerns. Guest Relations Cast Members really do want to help you, but sometimes they hear complaints that they just can’t control or hear over and over again. Of course, they would never tell you because they are too nice.
It is no secret that Disney World can get crowded, which can sometimes result in longer wait times for rides and attractions.
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
While it may seem like every season is busy season at Disney World, we tend to see higher crowd levels around school breaks like spring break, summer break, and the upcoming holiday breaks. While the influx of crowds can make ride wait times longer than average, you may be surprised to find out that sometimes the longest lines in the park are not for a ride.
The holiday season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we’re gearing up for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Disney Springs
It’s all SO EXCITING! But you can’t have Christmas in Disney World without the dude in the red suit, right? Well, if you need to have a chat with that jolly old man, you can do so RIGHT NOW in Disney Springs. Yep, we just recently visited Santa Claus, and we’re taking you along to experience it with us.
We just got some important news about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland Park!
No more construction walls!
The new ride is opening at Disneyland Park on November 15th, 2024, and we just got confirmation on how guests will be able to experience this new attraction.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming up soon!
It’s that time of year!
This specially ticketed event is TONS of fun! There are exclusive treats and entertainment, free hot cocoa and cookies, fun meet-and-greets, and lots of attractions to enjoy. Disney has shared a list of all the rides that will be open during the holiday and party, and we were excited to see Magic Kingdom’s brand new ride on the list!
Are you looking to skip the line on your upcoming Disney World vacation?
Lightning Lane
Over the summer, Disney changed their skip-the-line service from Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane became Lightning Lane Single Pass. The new Multi Pass system works similarly to its predecessor, FastPass+. You can now book your Lightning Lane selections and view prices before your trip. Those staying at Disney World hotels can book seven days before their trip, and the general public can book three days before their trip. Multi Pass is also broken up into tiers. You can choose one attraction from tier one and two attractions from tier two to start. If you are wondering which Lightning Lanes you should prioritize in 2025, we have you covered!
The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and you are ready for an amazing day at Disney World!
Hollywood Studios
But then your phone lights up with a notification that no one wants to get. While there are LOTS of notifications we would love to see on our phone (you got upgraded, free food for everyone, etc.), there are also a few notifications that we would rather not see.
