2026 is gonna be YOUR YEAR to STOP overthinking Disney World trips, and to START using EASY tricks to make those upcoming visits absolutely STELLAR.
Here’s how to do it!
We’re drying our eyes still, but the time has finally come, whether we wanted it to or not.
Yesterday was the FINAL day to experience DinoLand U.S.A. as a whole in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and now, the walls are officially up all around the land. There will be no more walking past some of the construction walls to make your way to Restaurantosaurus or DINOSAUR — it’s all closed off now to make way for the new Tropical Americas expansion. But what does that REALLY look like? We’re here on day one of the closure to check it out!
Early Entry — the 30-minute period each morning when guests of Disney resorts and other select hotels can access each of the theme parks prior to the general public — has been one of Disney World’s most popular perks for years, and 2026 is bringing some big changes!
From character appearances to reopening rides, crowd patterns during Early Entry are going to change several times this year, which may impact how YOU plan your morning at Walt Disney World.
I am devastated to be the one to show you this, but DinoLand U.S.A. is off the map at Animal Kingdom.
Yep, after opening in 1998, DinoLand has become extinct, and even though we were among the final to ride DINOSAUR on closing day, we had to come back in the morning to witness the changes. Not only was all of DinoLand officially blocked off, but when we picked up a park map, we saw changes we’ve been dreading for months now. If you’re sensitive to Disney nostalgia and permanently closed attractions, look away now!
Perks have been a major part of staying at Disney World hotels from the very beginning, and for many guests, these perks make the comparatively higher prices “worth it.”
Not only are you immersed in the Disney magic (we call it the “Disney bubble”), but you can also use complimentary Disney transportation to get wherever you need to go. Sometimes, you have the choice of taking a Monorail, boat, or the Skyliner, but other times, your only choice will be the bus. Disney buses can be great, but we have a MASSIVE gripe with the bus stops at some Disney World hotels. Hear us out.
