Isn’t it crazy that D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event was already a couple of months ago?! During the event, Disney made some pretty major announcements, including one that sparked a lot of conversation amongst Disney fans!

During the Disney Parks and Experiences Showcase, Disney announced that they would FINALLY be fixing the long-broken yeti animatronic on Animal Kingdom’s Expedition Everest. We’re not exaggerating when we say it’s been broken for years. The animatronic is finally getting fixed, and while fans had lots to say, we actually got to hear the thoughts on the matter from one of the greatest Disney Imagineers of all time. Disney Legend, Joe Rohde!

A few rides only have holiday changes during the party, but Jingle Cruise is one you can count on once again this year to be available all day long!

Magic Kingdom

It’s a holiday weekend with Columbus Day falling on Monday, October 12th, which means the parks are about to get busy. Holiday weekends are normally much busier at each of the four parks already, but we didn’t think it was going to be “Lightning Lane Premier Passes sold out” busy!

A POPULAR Magic Kingdom Ride Is Reopening In December

By Leave a Comment

Disney World rides run all day, every day, for 12 hours straight, so it takes a lot of work to keep things in tip-top shape, which means some rides will have to close for maintenance. It’s never fun to get to a Disney park and realize your favorite ride closed, which is why we always keep an eye on the refurbishment calendar to prep for closures on our and your upcoming trips!

Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom

Disney recently announced that a super popular Magic Kingdom ride is closing for refurbishment this November, and now we know when the ride will reopen, too!

NEWS: Rise of the Resistance Added to Extended Evening Hours at Hollywood Studios

By Leave a Comment

Staying at one of the Disney World Deluxe resorts gives you a plethora of perks: Close proximity to one (or even two) of the theme parks, Early Entry into the park, and just a walk away from some of Disney’s signature dining locations! But maybe one of the biggest perks of staying at a Deluxe resort is access to Extended Evening Hours.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

On select nights at select parks, guests staying at a valid resort can enjoy TWO extra hours in the park without the general public crowds. That means lower wait times for some of the biggest attractions! However, not every attraction may be available, and we saw this in Hollywood Studios, but one of the park’s most popular rides was just added to the list of available rides!
