People Are Still Skipping This Hotel Restaurant With Amazing Fireworks Views in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Nighttime entertainment in Disney World is something you should NOT miss (even though we occasionally will tell you to skip fireworks for rides, and yes, we’re ironic like that). The problem with watching nighttime entertainment, though…involves all the other people who have the exact same idea. Nighttime fireworks bring serious crowds, and sometimes it’s just not worth navigating the crowds — or it’s not even POSSIBLE to navigate the crowds — to get good fireworks views.

But you do have other options. Some you may know about, like booking a meal at California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to see the Happily Ever After fireworks in Magic Kingdom. But you also have some options to catch the EPCOT nighttime show, and one of those is in a place you might not expect!

Loungefly bags

Let us rephrase that — who doesn’t love a DISNEY sale? We certainly can’t turn down a good sale.

Yes, that’s right — it’s time to buy more Disney souvenirs.

Gen Z Is IGNORING This Travel Trend

By Leave a Comment

Travel continues to change, specifically when we’re talking about the differences between how different generations travel.

Magic Kingdom

In general, it seems like people are traveling now more than ever, which, believe it or not, poses some new challenges for Disney World. There are some Disney World hotel trends we think we’ll be seeing soon, too. Millennials and Gen Z are already making an impact on the travel industry, meaning that many travel companies, like Disney Cruise Line, have to figure out a new way to appeal to those travelers. Gen Z, in particular, is really shaking things up, and there’s one longtime travel trend they’re just ignoring.

By 26 Comments

A LOT is changing in Disney World, and no, we’re not even talking about everything that changed at EPCOT, the Magic Kingdom expansion, or the DinoLand re-theme in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Lightning Lane at Peter Pan’s Flight

Nope, we’re talking about Genie+, which will soon STOP being Genie+ and instead be called Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, with Individual Lightning Lane becoming Lightning Lane Single Pass. With the name change also comes a lot of other changes, and if you’re confused, well, it’s okay, because it is A LOT. But we’re going to give you a complete guide about the new service so that you’ll be a pro when it begins on July 24th.

How Will The Genie+ Changes Work With Tiana’s Bayou Adventure?

By 1 Comment

Disney recently revealed some HUGE changes coming soon to Genie+, and we’re breaking down what that might mean for your next Disney World trip.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

First up, the name “Genie+” will be going away to be replaced by Lightning Lane Multi-Pass (insert Fifth Element movie reference here…), while the Individual Lightning Lane option will be renamed Lightning Lane Single Pass. Honestly, these names make SO much more sense. But there will be other changes, too. So how will all these changes affect your trip if your priority is getting a ride on Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure?

Gaston’s Tavern, Columbia Harbour House and 17 More Disney World Restaurants CHANGED This Week

By 3 Comments

Summer is in full swing in Disney World, and so is the heat, humidity, and rain!

Tropical Ube Cocktail

But that hasn’t stopped us from hunting down new food, like a S’mores Shake that annoyed us because marshmallows kept getting stuck in our straw (still delicious, though). We also checked out some new food in EPCOT. We even mourned the loss of a beloved snack (why do you do this to us, Disney?!?!?!). While all that was going on, we kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and, well, we’ve got more menu changes to tell you about this week.
