food IS a theme park
UPDATE! Lightning Lane Premier Pass availability appears to have been updated and now shows availability for EPCOT on June 8th.
Hm, that’s weird!
EPCOT
We keep track of all Lightning Lane Premier Pass prices so we can catch trends, so you can be better prepared for your Disney World vacation. We caught a strange blip, and we’re not sure what’s happening!
There are few souvenirs that truly encapsulate the Disney experience like mouse ears!
Perfect sighting!
If you want to pick up some brand-new Minnie ears BEFORE your next trip to Disney World, or simply want some ears just for the fun of it, we’ve tracked down some of the BEST available online right now!
One thing Disney is really good at is making you feel immersed in the environment of every single ride in the parks.
Stormtroopers in Rise of the Resistance
For example, when you’re inside Pirates of the Caribbean, you FEEL like you’re there with the pirates (especially when you’re smelling that familiar odor of the water). When you’re on Peter Pan’s Flight, it feels like you’re flying over the city of London. When you’re inside the Haunted Mansion, the effects make you believe that this is actually a haunted house. Even when you’re on Rise of the Resistance, it does feel like you’re trying to frantically escape the First Order — however, would you believe that some of the effects on that ride are no different from rides Disney designed way back in the 1960s? WARNING: Spoilers ahead!
Grab your wand, get on your dragon, and say hi to Dracula as you enter the green pipe because Universal Orlando’s newest park, Epic Universe, is opening in less than a week.
Epic Universe
With the opening being on May 22nd, dates have been selling out left and right for those coveted summer tickets. More tickets have been added for new dates, and we just found another reason for you to go to Epic Universe.
If there’s one thing Disney fans aren’t shy about, it’s sharing how they really feel about the state of the parks —and right now, it’s not all pixie dust and churros.
Construction Walls
Between construction walls popping up like mushrooms after a Florida rainstorm and fan-favorite attractions going down left and right, things are feeling a little chaotic in Disney World. With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what your feelings were about all the major projects and construction walls, and y’all definitely had some thoughts.
Summer is right around the corner, which means if you’re heading to Disney World soon, you’ll be in for some fun in the sun.
Blizzard Beach
Well, summer is a great time to visit Disney World’s water parks, especially now that Disney World hotel guests get FREE water park tickets on their arrival day. Here’s the thing, though: usually only one water park is open at a time, so that’s the one you have to go to. BUT that will all be changing in just a few days when BOTH Disney World water parks will be open at the same time.
Disney is constantly making announcements, and sometimes these updates are quiet…but of course, we find those and share them with you!
Loungefly bags in EPCOT
It’s not just news either — so many incredible Disney items drop online without any recognition. Luckily, you’ve got us on your side, which is why we’re sharing some of the newest Disney Loungeflys that quietly dropped on Amazon, because one of them just might end up being your new favorite park bag!
We’ve been to Epic Universe a few times now, and we’ve been blown away by the lands.
Display case of goodies at K. Rammelle
More importantly, though, we’ve been checking out ALL the food. Now, we’ve reviewed restaurants, quick-service counters, bars, and more in all five lands, but we’re heading back to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic to try out MORE sweets. So get ready to indulge your sweet tooth (because you’re going to need these treats), and let’s head over to K. Rammelle!
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!
Magic Kingdom
With summer coming sooner than you might realize, knowing what the weekly average wait times are for those popular rides can make or break your upcoming trip. If you’re heading to the parks soon, we’ve got all the info you need to know! This week, wait times went down this week with even Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind dropping by 5 minutes!
What can we say about cake? We LOVE cake, and we eat a LOT of it (in every shape and size) any chance we get.
K. Rammelle
We’ve spent a lot of time eating cupcakes in Disney World (we think we’ve had every cupcake imaginable, at this point), but we also love the petit cakes at Amorette’s Patisserie and the bigger Mickey Celebration Cakes you can order for a special occasion (or just because). We’ve also spent a LOT of time at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers eating a LOT of cake slices. However, Disney might want to move over because we’ve just found some cake in Universal Orlando’s NEW theme park, Epic Universe, that could be even better — AND it’s only $14.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
