The holiday season is a busy time of year — especially at the airport! Between the influx of people trying to make it home for the holidays, some nasty winter weather, and a worldwide pandemic, there are a lot of complications for travelers looking to fly on New Year’s Day.
Orlando International Airport
As passengers try to navigate the hustle and bustle of New Year’s Day, some unforeseen circumstances seem to be causing significant travel delays across the country.
It’s a busy time in Disney World, and with that comes lots of crowds and lots of lines.

This week we were surprised by a popular ride’s wait time, Disney World waterpark news, and the price of a tiny new souvenir. Check out all the unexpected Disney World news here!
Disney World has a huge variety when it comes to food.
Dole Whip
From the theme parks to the hotels to Disney Springs, you can have bangers and mash for lunch, sushi for dinner, and crepes for dessert all in one day! But, what if you’re craving some good ol’ fashioned American food? Well, Regal Eagle Smokehouse can help you there! Come along with us as we chow down on some barbecue favorites in EPCOT.
Walt Disney himself was a huge fan of change. He enjoyed talking about change for the sake of progress — and we’ve got a lot of construction wall quotes around Disney World to remind us of that.
Pardon our pixie dust!
Walt saw the Disney Parks as living experiences; to keep up with the changing times, he expected the parks to adapt and grow to stay relevant. But 2021 has been *quite* the year for Disney changes. And some changes really took us off guard, for better or for worse.
In case you missed it, a major Disney World perk is going away in 2022.
Magical Express
That’s right, Disney’s Magical Express airport transportation will be discontinued as of January 1st, 2022, and guests visiting Disney World will have to find other ways to get from Orlando International Airport to their Disney World hotel. We asked our readers (that’s YOU!) about what transportation option you plan to use, and here’s what you said!
Happy New Year DFB readers!

Apparently a lot of other people had the same idea as us — we’re in Disney World today to see how busy the parks are on New Year’s Day as the holiday season comes to a close.
Let’s face it, sometimes booking a Disney World resort can be a tough process! From knowing when you can book your room to knowing which hotel is right for you, it’s a real challenge at times. However, there are some places at Disney that are extremely difficult to grab and almost impossible to book.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Today, we’re taking a look at ten of the most exclusive places to stay at Disney World. What do we mean by exclusive? Well, they’re either so in-demand, so expensive, or so selective that they’re super hard to book! Some spots on this list are easier than others, but all of them are incredibly tough to get! So, without further ado, let’s get into it!
