Lots of previews have been announced for Disney World’s newest attraction recently — like for Disney World Annual Passholders, DVC Members, and Cast Members — and we can’t wait for our chance to take a ride or two before it officially opens. But, one group of previews is now totally sold out!
Conquering Disney World is all about strategy!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
If you’re in the midst of making those plans, there are three rides in particular that you ABSOLUTELY have to prioritize because they sell out every day on Genie+: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, and Slinky Dog Dash. Let’s go over some of our favorite tips and tricks so that you don’t miss out on any must-do rides!
We don’t have to wait too much longer until the walls around the CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT come down and we’ll finally be able to experience a mostly wall-less EPCOT! That’s kind of a wild thought if you think about it for a bit.
EPCOT
It’s been a project years in the making and while we’ve been tracking the progress of the CommuniCore Hall’s build from the jump, it’s almost time to see the realized dream come to life. We’ve seen EPCOT testing the colorful lights within the geodesic tiles during the day and now we’ve finally caught a glimpse of what they’ll look like at night! [Read more…]
If you’re a Disney Parks fan, you’ve probably realized by now that things tend to change around Disney World’s parks and hotels constantly. Seriously, it seems that we’re always talking about construction, menu changes, and changes to entertainment almost daily and now we’ve got one more MAJOR change to talk about!
Mickey and Minnie
We just saw that a few characters switched up their meet-and-greet location to an entirely different land in Magic Kingdom — and now Disney’s Animal Kingdom seems to be following suit with big character changes. [Read more…]
Disney Springs is home to some incredible restaurants and while we’ve had some great meals here, there’s some hefty competition between the quick-service restaurants here. There are just too many good choices — that’s a good problem to have, though, right?
Earl of Sandwich
Now, if you’re willing to make the trip to the further end of Disney Springs, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by a good meal at an even better price! [Read more…]
We’ve seen all kinds of Disney World park maps over the years. We’ve seen familiar Disney characters grace the front cover. We’ve seen the iconic Cinderella Castle take center stage on old maps. We’ve even seen regular old Disney World visitors (or Disney models…how do we get that job?!) earn a spot on the front of the map. Talk about a big honor! But Disney also has a digital park map that comes in handy when you’re on the go.
Magic Kingdom park maps change all the time!
Not to sound dramatic, but we use the My Disney Experience app pretty much every single day. We’re in the parks every day of the year, so between all the Mobile Orders we have placed, the wait times we have checked, and the character meet-and-greet times we have confirmed, that app is like our holy grail. And recently, the My Disney Experience app just CHANGED!
We’re officially headed into the HOT, HOT, HOT months at Disney World, and that means one thing.
Barefoot Pool Bar
We get like, five times more likely to seek out fun drinks as soon as it gets hotter at Disney World. There are so many great spots to grab a refreshing bevi, whether you’re looking for something alcoholic or something safe for our underage or sober friends! Barefoot Pool Bar is over at the Lava Pool at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Here, you can find both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as some small bites. Barefoot recently got some NEW bevies, so we’re headed to check them out! You in?

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom
We’ve waited for what seems like FOREVER for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to open at Disney World, and now, we’re ALMOST THERE. In June 2020, Disney announced that the water-based ride Splash Mountain would close to be rethemed into an attraction inspired by the Disney animated film, The Princess and the Frog. Disney has shared that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will pick up the story of The Princess and the Frog “after the final kiss, and join Princess Tiana and Louis on a musical adventure – featuring some of the powerful music from the film – as they prepare for their first-ever Mardi Gras performance.”
Are you stoked about your next trip to Disney World?
Cinderella Castle
We don’t blame you (we’re excited for you!). There are just so many reasons to be hyped up for a trip to Disney World…but, if you could hold on for just a moment, we’ve got an idea we wanted to float by you — How about postponing your trip until 2025? There’s a big reason that could totally change your Disney World trip, so let’s talk about why hitting pause might just be the best move you’ll make!
Things are always changing at Disney World, and today, we have news about an important character meet and greet update in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
And don’t worry, this character meet and greet isn’t gone, but the location has changed! Chip and Dale have been meeting in Tomorrowland recently, but if you are headed to Magic Kingdom, be prepared to find them in a new spot.
