food IS a theme park
It’s now 2021, which means that it’s officially the year of Disney’s 50th Anniversary!
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Since this is a milestone year, it makes sense that it would be a big draw for guests to visit! However, Disney World has seen lots of changes this past year. So we’ve found ourselves wondering if potential visitors are still planning to visit Disney World this year, and we asked YOU!
A trip to Disney World isn’t special just because of the roller coasters and souvenirs (OK, those are really fun parts though!).

It’s special because of the memories you create! Disney does their best to start the experience the minute you enter. From start to finish, you’re fully immersed in the “Disney magic.” The memories and magic really kick into gear when you add in magical moments from Cast Members and characters. Over the years, people have made Disney World the place to get their first haircuts, celebrate their birthdays, and pop the question. To start off 2021 on a positive note, we reached out to the DFB team and our readers to share their favorite moments experienced at Disney World.
There are TONS of opinions out there when it comes to Disney World!
Welcome to Disney World
We love to ask our readers what they think, getting opinions on things like character dining, popular attractions, and even hot topics. It’s usually pretty fun to hear the variety of responses, and it’s a great way to get to know our followers better. Not too long ago, we asked our readers “What’s the worst ride in Magic Kingdom?” and they had a LOT of things to say!
If you’ve tuned into our Instagram stories lately, you may have seen some of the Disney World trivia questions we’ve put up to test your knowledge!
Magic Kingdom Entrance
And while you might be able to breeze through some of the questions, we’ve added some that are tough for even the most dedicated Disney World fans! A recent trivia question stumped well over half of our readers — only 38% of those polled answered correctly!
Did you know that it costs extra money to go between the theme parks in Disney World? Well, it does. It’s known as park hopping and is a ticket add-on.
EPCOT Monorail
With Park Hopper tickets costing more than regular tickets (some single-day tickets are over $220), is this upcharge really worth it? We asked our readers to find out what they think.
When you’re traveling to Disney World for a magical vacation, it’s easy to get impatient! If you’re like us and you want to get to your happy place as fast as you possibly can, then Disney and Brightline may have come up with a solution.

Disney recently announced that they had reached an agreement with Brightline to build a near-high-speed rail station at Disney Springs! This new mode of transportation was rumored last year, but it has finally been confirmed. This new track will connect Disney Springs to the Orlando International Airport, but will guests actually use it? Our readers are quite the group of travelers, so we decided to ask them “Would you ride the train to Disney World?”
We love every single Disney World park — they’re all amazing!
Entering Walt Disney World Resort
Still, sometimes we like to think about which park is the very best, and it’s a tough decision! So, we pit Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios against one another in a variety of categories — and our readers picked a winner. This is the BATTLE OF THE PARKS!
Since reopening, Disney World has maintained limited capacity in restaurants across property.
Be Our Guest Restaurant Ballroom
During the initial stage of Disney World’s reopening, maximum restaurant capacity was limited based on the state government’s reopening plan. However, since Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that the state is now in Phase 3 of reopening, restaurants are no longer subject to capacity restrictions.
Since it first opened in December 2019, Rise of the Resistance has widely been considered THE must-do attraction in Disney World.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Given the ride’s popularity, guests are required to obtain a boarding group in order to experience the attraction, rather than waiting in an hours-long physical queue. Currently, boarding groups are made available twice during the day — once when the park first opens at 10AM and again at 2PM.
But as with other attractions around Disney World, capacity for Rise of the Resistance is limited, which means it might not be an easy feat to snag a boarding group. After hearing from many friends that they were not able to get boarding groups or ride the attraction, we decided to poll our audience to get an idea of just how many Disney World guests missed out on riding the most popular attraction in Orlando with the current system.
We know lots of things about the Disney parks but we also like to hear from YOU!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’ve definitely got our fair share of Disney park opinions and we know you do too. That’s why we love to reach out to our readers via social media to see what YOU’RE thinking about Disney World and beyond. Recently, we asked out toughest question yet and the answer surprised us!
