food IS a theme park
You can plan and plan the perfect Disney World vacation — but Mother Nature doesn’t usually care about your plans.
Rainy Day at Animal Kingdom
Nothing can ruin your Disney World vacation faster than a torrential downpour and severe weather. That’s exactly the case for Disney World today. In fact, the entire Central Florida area is currently under a tornado watch — including the Disney World area.
Summer is nearly here and although summers at Disney World are a blast, there are still some downsides you need to be warned about.
Cinderella Castle
Between large crowds and hurricane season, Disney World can be tricky to navigate during the summer months. However, one of the most glaring issues is the heat — and Disney World guests will be feeling it in spades this week!
Wow — can you believe it? Spring is almost over and summer is right around the corner, along with the month of May.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
It seems like SO much has already happened in Disney World this year, but we’re ready for what summer will bring. We’re talking about the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the reopening of Country Bear Jamboree. We’re also hoping we’ll see The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers finally get an opening date this summer, along with the East Coast version of Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. But if you’re visiting Disney World in May, we have to warn you not to make a vital mistake.
If you are heading to Disney World today, be prepared for the potential for some severe weather!
Magic Kingdom is already looking dark and gloomy this morning.
Disney World will likely be hit by severe weather today, and we have all the details you need to know.
Although we would always like to think that our Disney World trips are going to be perfect, sometimes they’re not.
Hi, guys!!
You can’t count on things to go right. Sometimes, the weather is just awful. It’s either super rainy or it’s just so hot that you can’t see straight. Or maybe your favorite ride is closed. Maybe the crowds are just getting to be too much. We’ve all faced these things. So we’re going to tell you about times we thought we were just about to give up, and then tell you how we carried on.
Are you starting to plan for your 2025 trip to Disney World?
Orlando Airport
It’s never too early to start working on your plan — especially when you think about how we live in a world where flight cancellations can throw a wrench into even the most meticulously curated travel itineraries. Knowing which airlines are the most reliable can be a game-changer. So as we think about those 2025 plans, let’s take a look at recent data to see which airlines are better than the rest when it comes to keeping flights on schedule and minimizing cancellations.
We LOVE Disney World Cast Members! They work hard so we can have a magical time at Disney World!

We asked some of our team members who used to work for the Mouse about the Disney myths they wish would just go away.
Are you planning to visit Disney World in April?
EPCOT
It’s a great time to visit Disney World, that’s for sure! You’re likely to get good weather that isn’t TOO hot just yet (although it might be rainy). Spring Break should be over, which means you won’t have serious crowds to contend with. The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival will still be going on, so you can enjoy all the beautiful topiaries AND amazing food. But we want to warn you about some things if you’re visiting in April, too.
Disney World may be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but that doesn’t mean everything is always sunshine and rainbows.
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!
Although, given that Disney World is in Florida, you do have to deal with a lot of sunshine. And, if you’re not prepared for it, it can really have a major impact on your trip. With Spring Break season officially here, the temperatures in Disney World are on the rise — and so are the crowds.
The spring break travel season is upon us, and well, if you’re traveling this weekend, you may need to bring some patience, at least if you’re flying on one particular airline. So here’s the thing. Spring break travel means a LOT of people are flying into Orlando International Airport. However, this time of the year also brings rainy weather to the South and Southeast.
Southwest Airlines at the Orlando Airport
Those two things mean that this is the time of year that flight delays could happen (we saw delays around this time last year), especially on Southwest Airlines, which has a lot of flights coming and going from those destinations. As of March 9th, Southwest Airlines has delayed over 40% of its flights at Orlando International Airport. Ouch.
