food IS a theme park
Welcome back to Walt Disney World!
Splash Mountain
Last week, we noticed wait times were down significantly compared to earlier in August, so let’s see if the trend is continuing! Here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week!
If you’re headed to Disney World this fall, you’ll need to know some important things!
Make sure you know Disney World’s park hours!
First, don’t forget to make your park pass reservations and familiarize yourself with the My Disney Experience app. Second, make sure you know the park hours — and we’ve got you covered for trips up through early November!
We’re heading into the final weeks of summer (even though Halloween is already in full force at Disney World!), and while we must say goodbye to the month of August, we’ll use our fond farewell as an opportunity to look back on all of our favorite (and…not so favorite) things we ate in the parks and resorts!
Spooooooky castle!
That’s right, we’re back with another monthly roundup of the best and worst things we had in Disney World for the month of August. This month brought us fall-themed treats and a TON of new Food and Wine booths, so there was no shortage of food and drink items to try!
September is a great time to visit Disney World this year!
Mickey Pumpkins Galore!
Kids are back in school, the weather should cool off a little, and you’ll beat the crowds coming in for the big 50th anniversary in October! And, there are some exciting new things to look forward to happening this month that we want to tell you allllll about. These are the BEST things to do in Disney World in September!
Hello from a very rainy Magic Kingdom!
Railroad Station at the Magic Kingdom
On our walk around the park today, we noticed that not all the rides were up and running. Rides can close for a variety of reasons in Disney World, including technical difficulties, safety concerns, and bad weather. One BIG ride has been shut down all day in the Magic Kingdom.
There’s a lot of Halloween merchandise in the Disney parks these days!
This is HALLOWEEN!
We’re embracing spooky season with open arms. There have been new Halloween Mickey ears, lots of t-shirts and other frightfully fashionable clothes, and some of the sparkliest crocs we ever did see. Today, we spotted a new Halloween item in Disney’s Magic Kingdom — but you can’t just buy it by itself. [Read more…]
It’s nearly impossible to visit Disney World without at least walking through a gift shop; and each store is typically filled with lots of different, sometimes new and very popular, items to pick from.
Disney Merchandise Galore!
From new Mickey ears to the latest Crocs, there’s a wide variety of souvenirs you could bring home. But, Disney has recently implemented a new merchandise policy that you need to know about before your next visit.
Cinderella’s Royal Table reopened last year with modified character dining, but at the time, only lunch and dinner were being served. Since then, we heard the announcement that breakfast would be returning to this iconic Magic Kingdom restaurant.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
We grabbed a reservation and now we’re back in the early morning hours to check out what breakfast looks like these days at Cinderella’s Royal Table!
Many things have been returning to Disney World lately!
AKL is open again!
Buffets are back, long-closed resorts are open again, and some of our favorite restaurants have opened up again. Yesterday, we told you about The Diamond Horseshoe reopening soon in Disney World, and now, we have an update on how you can guarantee your spot to eat at the returning restaurant!
For many people, Disney’s fireworks shows are an essential part of their vacation. Sure, you can stake out a spot on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom and watch Happily Ever After front and center, but there are several other places you can see the fireworks (with WAY fewer people around)!
Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom
You may be familiar with some of our favorite fireworks viewing locations, like the Polynesian beach or Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but did you know that you can also see the fireworks from a boat?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
