food IS a theme park
From the Parental Rights in Education Bill to the Reedy Creek Improvement District and copyright protections, Disney’s name has been in the news quite a bit lately.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Recently, another political figure commented on some things related to Disney and we’ve got all the updates right here for you.
If you’re heading to Disney World during the summer months, you’ll still need to worry about Park Passes, hotel reservations, dining selections, Mobile Order, Genie+, and other things, but you’ll also have another important thing to think about — hurricanes.
The castle stays right here, even when it hurricanes.
Hurricanes can impact Orlando and could affect your trip, bringing strong winds and large amounts of rain. Some hurricanes have even led to reduced hours in the parks or a park closure. We’ve already shared that 2022 is expected to see a LOT of hurricanes, which could affect Disney World, but just what is going on that might be causing this large amount of hurricanes in the Atlantic? We’ve got some updates.
You’re ready to see the main Mouse, eat Mickey-shaped waffles, and ride all of the newest rides, but there’s just one thing — before you get to Disney World, you’ll have to PLAN your trip. That alone can feel like a marathon.
Planning for Disney World Can Be a Lot of Work!
Between planning for dining reservations, transportation to and from the airport, and Park Passes — it can be a lot. So we took to Facebook to get your thoughts on the hardest part of planning a Disney World trip, and you all had a LOT of thoughts.
Inflation — it’s something you’ve undoubtedly heard a LOT about in the news over the past several months. In fact, it might be something that you’ve felt like you couldn’t escape. Well it turns out Disney can’t escape it either.
Spaceship Earth
We’ve already shared a thorough analysis of inflation, what it is, why it’s increasing, what current numbers look like, and how it could impact your Disney trip. But now we’ve got an update and some statements from Disney executives on just how the Company is feeling the effects of inflation.
The Park Pass theme park reservation system has been in place in Disney World and Disneyland since the parks reopened following the COVID-19 closures.
Easter Crowds
The system helps Disney control capacity in the parks and know how many guests will be there each day. We’ve seen Disney executives comment on the park pass system in the past, how it’s being used, and how it could be here to stay, but today we got even more updates on the system and how long it could be sticking around.
Planning on flying Southwest Airlines to Disney World or anywhere else? Well your next flight might be a little different and more…high tech!
Southwest Airlines
Southwest has already announced some changes coming to the airline in the future, like the introduction of a new fare type. But recently it announced a whole bunch of other changes (including more USB ports!) that flyers might really be able to take advantage of and enjoy during upcoming flights.
You may have done and experienced all that Disney has to offer right now — but in just a few months, there will be something brand NEW for you to try!

The Disney Wish — Disney’s newest cruise ship — will be setting sail this summer with a whole bunch of new experiences for guests to enjoy. From a Star Wars lounge to a Marvel-themed dining experience, there will be a LOT to check out. But, a Disney experience isn’t complete without…some merchandise! We got a FIRST LOOK at some of the new items coming to the Disney Wish earlier this year, but now we’ve got a more in depth look!
