food IS a theme park
Let’s be honest: if you are paying Disney World prices, you want every possible second of park time squeezed out of that vacation like the last drop of cold brew on a rope-drop morning.
EPCOT
And thankfully, some hotels really do help with that.
When it comes to Disney World rides, there are a lot of things experts do… and many more that they NEVER do.

From listening to Cast Members and following safety instructions to keeping belongings in check and maintaining proper ride etiquette, if you do these things, you’re a gold star Disney guest as far as we’re concerned.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting summer at Disney World!

The Disney Parks are never stagnant, and some sort of change is always ongoing. Unfortunately, those changes often include the temporary (and permanent) closures of popular rides.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
If you’re planning a Disney trip in 2026, you need to be aware that BOTH the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort are going to see a bunch of closures. Between refurbishments, re-themes, seasonal overlays, and a few permanent closures tied to major expansions, several rides across Disney World and the Disneyland Resort will impact your 2026 vacation.
Now it’s time to say goodbye to all our company…
Nick and Judy!
Well, we’re not saying goodbye to the whole jamboree (and sorry if that’s now stuck in your head), but we are saying goodbye to three Annual Passholder perks that made our Animal Kingdom days a little more wild. Don’t worry, you still have some time to grab them before they’re gone!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Long lines for the attraction right before it closed!
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. The Aerosmith version of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed forever on March 2nd, and fans gave it a massive final encore as Disney World’s busiest average wait time.
A lot has changed in Disney World in the past week, and if it feels like we say that every week — that’s because it’s TRUE!
It’s time for EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival!
So much is happening in the parks right now, we’re constantly keeping our eyes peeled for all the latest updates and news regarding the multiple projects happening around Disney World. This past week, an extremely popular ride officially closed for refurbishment, lots of updates and permits have been filed for ongoing projects, and one of our favorite festivals has begun in EPCOT! So what closures do you need to expect this week? We’ve got you covered.
What a week! The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival kicked off, and y’all, we ate SO much food and drank so many drinks. If you happened to miss all that, be sure to read our reviews for every single food booth at the festival.

In the meantime, we were also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus to look for changes, and we spotted a few! So let’s talk about how Disney World restaurants changed this week.
We love Disney World’s skip-the-line service to make sure we can get on all of our favorite rides in one day. But we won’t lie to you – it can become quite a pretty penny!
The age-old question – Lightning Lane or Standby???
Disney just confirmed their Lightning Lane prices for March, so we’re helping you sort through it to see if skipping the lines is right for you!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
