food IS a theme park
It’s a holiday weekend in Disney World — and you know what that means.
Magic Kingdom
It means a LOT of people are in Disney World right now. We’ve already seen wait times begin to skyrocket, we imagine getting advance dining reservations is hard right now, AND Genie+ got up to $29 per person per day and then sold out for the first time EVER in Disney World. But you might not believe how busy it is until you see the photos.
Avatar fans have waited for YEARS for a sequel to the hit groundbreaking movie by James Cameron. Now, that its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water has released, we’ve seen just how much demand there is for this franchise.

We’ve seen changes made in the Disney Parks to celebrate the sequel’s release, including new foods added to Satu’li Canteen in Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. There has been a lot of talk about changing one of the Avatar-themed rides there to align with the new film. Disneyland even has plans to build a new Avatar-themed experience. Avatar: The Way of Water, though, shows no signs of stopping because it’s still breaking box office records!
Here’s proof that it’s SUPER busy in Disney World this weekend!
Disney Genie
Typically, holiday weekends tend to bring extra crowds to the Disney World parks. And it looks like this President’s Day weekend is no exception! In fact, it’s so busy in Disney World that we just experienced a first for Disney Genie+.

The one thing about the weather at Disney World is that it’s unpredictable.
Hot weather is coming to Disney World soon!
We’ve seen hurricanes and heavy rain. We’ve seen weather cold enough to wear a parka in the parks. We’ve also seen extremely hot weather — and that’s something we’ll be preparing for again soon because Disney World is set to see record-high temperatures this week.
Sometimes major rides close temporarily in Disney World due to technical difficulties or bad weather in the area. But there are also scheduled closures that last much longer than those brief, unplanned interruptions.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
One such closure is happening this week, and it might impact your next Disney trip in a big way! Check out this full list of Disney World ride and attraction closures so that you’re prepared before you head out the door. [Read more…]
We’ve eaten some strange things in Disney, that’s the truth.
Fuzzy Tauntaun
Sometimes this food is strange because of what it’s combined with, and other times it’s just bizarre. Disneyland has just announced that one of its restaurants has released an…interesting new dish!
Are you ready?
Crowds
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, beware! The crowds are already starting to pick back up. We saw the highest price for Genie+ we have in WEEKS and that price is based on demand. We’ve also noticed more crowds in the parks as people flock to Disney World for the holiday weekend. Spring break is right around the corner as well. But what were the wait times like in the calm before the storm?
