And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
It’s Hispanic Latinx Heritage Month in Disney World!
Hispanic Latinx Heritage Month
Disney’s celebration is called “Together We Are Magia” and runs from September 15th through October 15th. There are a ton of ways to celebrate around the resort, like eating a meal by an award-winning chef currently featured at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT or trying special food items in Disney Springs! And today, we found a new snack for Hispanic Latinx Heritage Month in Disney World!
Disney’s Fastpass+ service is no longer in place, but there’s a NEW Fastpass+ replacement coming soon to Disney World called Disney Genie+. If you miss strolling through the Fastpass line to board your favorite attraction, you might be interested in paying for Disney Genie+, which will give guests access to over 40 attractions in Disney World.

As we wait for Disney Genie to take over, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for new Lightning Lane signage around the parks. We put together a handy little list of ALL the Disney attractions that will use Lightning Lanes (AKA the old Fastpass lane).
You might be surprised by some of the activities you’ll find in Disney World!
The Seas With Nemo & Friends
There are TONS of things to do in Disney World. You may be familiar with options like riding awesome attractions, checking out incredible shows, and, of course, enjoying ALLLL the snacks! But not every Disney World activity is so well-known. Have you had a chance to check out these bizarre things you can do in Disney World??
Greetings from Walt Disney World!
The Tree of Life is looking good today!
With Disney World’s 50th anniversary coming up in less than 2 weeks, we’re very curious about what crowds look like right now! Are people waiting until the celebration starts to visit, or trying to squeeze in a trip beforehand to watch Happily Ever After one last time? One way we look at crowd levels is through wait times, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opened up quite some time ago at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but it remains an incredibly popular ride.
Rise of the Resistance
Previously, if you wanted to ride Rise of the Resistance, you needed to sign up for a boarding group (a.k.a. join a virtual queue). Getting a boarding group was a task that could be incredibly difficult and which that required VERY speedy fingers. But, recently, Disney changed things and guests can now ride Rise of the Resistance WITHOUT a boarding group. This is a huge change and it could cause some pretty big impacts on your Disney World trip.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration will be an event unlike anything we’ve seen in quite some time! This eighteen-month-long birthday party is full of new entertainment offerings, firework spectaculars, dazzling golden statues, and of course, special edition merchandise to collect.
