food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays is almost here! From November 26th to December 30th, guests will be able to try special holiday treats and snacks from Holiday Kitchens.

Annual Passholders will have access to a discount during the 2021 Festival of the Holidays but — fair warning — it’s a bit limited.
There have been a lot of changes in Disney World recently, like new 50th Anniversary things and the start of the Disney Genie program.
Magic Kingdom
But if you’re heading to Disney World soon, you’ll also want to know what’s going to be closed around the parks so that you’re prepared before your trip. We’re taking a look around all four Disney World parks, the Disney Springs shopping center, and the hotels on property to see what’s going to be closed or unavailable during this next week.

Since the debut of the Disney Genie in Disney World, we’ve been experimenting with all the free AND paid features of this new service.

We want to figure out everything there is to know about the Genie service and answer ALL the questions, and a big topic of interest is how multiple guests work with Genie+. Here’s our experience!
Heading to Disney World soon? There’s a lot going on these days, from the launch of Disney Genie and Genie+ to the 50th Anniversary Celebration!
Magic Kingdom
With Halloween right around the corner, let’s catch up on the park hours and current Park Pass Reservation availability for the week of October 24th!
Disney Genie launched earlier this week, and we’ve been spending that time trying out everything we can with the service so we can help you use it to optimize your next Disney World trip.

And we’ve done our best to answer any questions you may have, both about the free version of the service (available through the My Disney Experience app) and how best to use Genie+ and the Individual Attraction Selection (aka pay-per-ride).
Earlier this week, Disney Genie officially launched in Disney World, and we’ve been checking it out all week long!
Festival of the Lion King Lightning Lane
On the official launch day, we sent 5 reporters into the parks to try out Disney Genie, Genie+, and the Individual Attraction Selections. They put the new systems through some rigorous testing and we were able to find the benefits, the flaws, and learn quite a bit along the way. Here’s what happened when we tried Disney Genie for the very first time!
Have you been to a galaxy far, far away lately?

We’re, of course, talking about the planet Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World! We decided to swing by the most hoppin’ place in the system at Oga’s Cantina and we noticed some changes!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is going strong, with the celebrations kicking off just over 3 weeks ago!
Happy 50th!
We’ve seen a new cavalcade, an incredible new show in Animal Kingdom, tried new restaurants, and more. And, we’ve tasted SO MANY new food items exclusive for the 50th! From chocolate pyramids to funnel cake hot dogs (yeah, really!), we’ve had some pretty epic food adventures lately. But, we’re not done yet, because there are even more treats to try! Come with us as we check out a new 50th dessert over in Disney Springs.
If you’ve been to Disney World before, chances are you know that feeling: you just want to get from one side of Magic Kingdom to the other, but you’re met with a wall of crowds or a parade or cavalcade, slowing you down big time! Well, did you know that there are SECRET walkways that can help you avoid those crowds?
Main Street, U.S.A.
Okay, so maybe these walkways aren’t a complete secret, but there are often-overlooked walkways in the parks that can help you save some time while getting from point A to point B — or, at least it will make your walk more pleasant and crowd-free. With the 50th Anniversary Celebration bringing in plenty of visitors, it’s more important than ever to be aware of where the shortcuts and alternate routes are in the parks!
Is it the holidays already? Well, Disney has started putting up decorations in Hollywood Studios and in Disneyland. Plus tons of new holiday merch has been dropping online, so the yuletide season must be close!
Hollywood Studios is already starting to decorate!
Recently, we spotted, even more, holiday merch that’s going to be at Disney World very soon!
