This Disney World Hot Take Feels Like a Personal Call Out

By Leave a Comment

Okay, let’s face it…We do things in Disney World that we would NEVER do in our regular daily lives back home.

For example, we’ll get up EXTRA early just to make it to rope drop in the parks. We’ll also throw a pair of mouse ears on our heads and walk around like that all day. We’ll even cheer, cry, and squeal when we see our favorite characters in the parks.

Disney World’s Soarin’ in EPCOT is a popular ride, and for a reason. It allows you to soar OVER the world without ever having to leave World Showcase. Well, that ride is set to change soon to celebrate the U.S. Bicentennial and become Soarin’ Across America.

Not to be outdone, though, SeaWorld Orlando opened a ride about a year ago that’s a lot like Soarin’. It’s called Expedition Odyssey, and it takes you soarin’ above the Arctic where you can get a bird’s eye view of what wildlife is like in one of the coldest parts of Earth. Well, that SeaWorld Orlando’s ride is ALSO getting an update!

By 1 Comment

These days, when people think about visiting Universal Orlando, their first thought is pretty much all about Epic Universe, which makes sense because it’s still a relatively new theme park.
