food IS a theme park
Who’s ready to rock and roll?
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Or should we have a quick lunch first? Yeah, I think that’s best. Rock ‘n’ Roll can wait, but a rumbly in the tumbly cannot!
Disney World is the most magical place on earth. But, even magic has mishaps sometimes (ask almost every Disney character that has made a wish in their movie).
Magic Kingdom
Nonetheless, the show must go on, and if there’s one thing Disney does best, it’s making sure they do whatever they can to do so. But how do they keep the curtains from closing? Well my little friend, let me introduce you to a little something called ‘B-Mode’.
It’s hard not to love Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
There’s so much magic in the parks. The attractions, characters, food, shows, and Cast Members make your vacation wonderful. When we’re in the parks we know we’re going to have a great time, and it’s hard to be anything but happy. However, there are instances when things happen that just get our blood boiling and perhaps you have had similar instances happen to you. We thought about it and came up with five scenarios that fill us with rage even when we’re trying for 100% positivity.
Disney is having attendance issues with its U.S. parks, but the company seems unconcerned.
Storm clouds over the Magic Kingdom…
On August 7th, the Walt Disney Company released its latest earnings report. Disney Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Hugh Johnston appeared on CNBC’s well-known Squawk Box program to discuss the report. During a wide-ranging interview that touched on subjects ranging from streaming to theatrical films to the upcoming sports bundle Venu service, the executive made some interesting comments about the company’s domestic theme park business.
Hollywood Studios has never looked so AMAZING. But are the most AMAZING parts about this park always the easiest to spot, right from the get-go? Short answer: Not at ALL.
Hollywood Studios
So we’re gonna help you out by showing you the most TERRIFIC, WONDERFUL, AND ALL-AROUND AWESOME parts of Hollywood Studios.
Welcome to August. Before too long, Disney World is about to go SPOOKY — the Halloween decorations will be going up in Magic Kingdom ANY DAY NOW.
Loaded Burnt End Fries are BACK in EPCOT
Disney recently revealed some of the Halloween snacks we’ll be seeing in the parks throughout the season. We also recently celebrated the return of one of our favorite snacks in EPCOT. While we’re waiting for more details about the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival (you can release those food booth menus any day now, Disney), we’ve been checking menus at Disney World restaurants, and yep, we’ve got some changes to tell you about.
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! This week saw an interesting pattern develop, and we need to talk about it.
EPCOT
Three of Disney World’s four theme parks — Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios — all saw their average wait times decrease over the past week. However, Disney World’s fourth theme park — EPCOT — saw wait times go up? Is this an effect of the new Lighting Lane Multi Pass system?
One of the things about Disney World is that things are always changing, and new things are always right around the corner.
Hollywood Studios
For example, Splash Mountain closed and became a new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Country Bear Jamboree recently got a new show. Test Track is getting a reimagining. So, a classic Disney ride getting updated isn’t a new thing. Now, some fans think that one ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios may be due for a reimagining, especially with some news that just dropped recently.
Last week we shared that a Disney World hotel refurbishment would be ending.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Unfortunately, not all refurbishments go as planned. Occasionally, Disney has to make adjustments to their timelines and that’s what we’ve seen for one food court at a popular Value resort. However, this restaurant is not the only refurbishment that will affect your Disney World trip the week of August 3rd through August 10th.
Disney World can have very odd rules.
Pandora
From balloons not being allowed inside of one of their parks, to the act of scattering ashes being banned (trust us, this is an actual rule due to it happening countless times), there are a ton of rules on the property that make you think “Well, that’s strangely specific.”
