Disney World Makes 5 Lightning Lane Changes in 2025

By Leave a Comment

Disney’s Lightning Lane system is constantly evolving to fit the needs of the resort, and 2025 has been no exception, as new rides have been added, tiers have changed, and one type of experience has been removed!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

I’ve been going to Disney World for over 30 years, and over that time, I’ve watched the “skip-the-line” system evolve from FastPass through FastPass+, Genie+, and Lightning Lane. Beyond that, within each of these systems, the company has continuously tweaked rules and shuffled offerings. These are some of the most notable changes made this past year.

3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Paying $65 for an Uber Ride to Disney’s Pop Century Resort

By 8 Comments

There was a time when going back and forth between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Walt Disney World property was simple for Walt Disney World hotel guests.

Mears Connect (a shuttle service). I’ve used Uber, Lyft, AND Mears to get to Disney World, but there are a few things I wish I had known about my Uber experience.

By Leave a Comment

Disney World is in the midst of a massive period of change that’s primed to change the resort forever. While some of these changes have proven divisive, others are definitely for the best!

Mickey!

I’ve been writing about Walt Disney World for 7 years, and visiting for nearly 5x that long, and over that time I’ve seen a lot of changes I’ve loved… and a lot I haven’t. Currently, massive construction projects are going on across the resort, with iconic rides closing to make way for the attractions of the future, some for the better and some potentially for the worse in my opinion. However, while those projects are still years away, there are several positive things going on in the parks RIGHT NOW!
