food IS a theme park
It’s no surprise that Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been BUSY this week.
Tower of Terror
In addition to the big crowds this week, a few rides have also gone down from time to time, adding even more excitement to the holiday chaos. Yesterday, Rise of the Resistance even had a 4-hour wait. One Hollywood Studios ride is down once again today, and Cast Members brought out some fun entertainment for guests!
Last year, Bob Iger announced that he would be stepping down from his position as CEO of the Walt Disney Company.

He remains Executive Chairman of the company until the end of 2021. Iger was the CEO of Disney for 15 years and had major accomplishments like acquiring Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm as well as opening Shanghai Disney Resort in China. Recently, the former CEO visited Disney World, and decided to share some appreciation for the cast members!
Over the past few years, thousands of flights have been getting canceled in the United States sometimes due to COVID-19 cases, weather, staffing shortages, or other issues.
It’s busy at the airport
On Christmas Eve of 2021, we saw over 3,000 flights canceled, and 3 days later, 2,000 more flights were canceled. In 2022, we’ve seen airlines announce that they’ll be cutting thousands of flights and thousands of flights have continued to be canceled, while others have been delayed. A flight cancelation can really throw off your entire travel plans, so, what should you do if your flight to Disney World gets canceled?
What’s that? You’re tired of hearing about Disney Genie+ and all the extra upgrades that are gonna cost you $7 here and $15 there?
Water for the win!
Don’t worry, because I’m about to share some Disney World upgrades and perks that won’t cost a single penny.
Ahh, Disney Genie+, the paid version of FastPass that is taking Disneyland Resort and Disney World by storm, leaving some guests overwhelmed and confused.

The new system has multiple parts, different prices for different options, and a set of rules that you’ll have to learn in order to use it effectively. However, when used properly, it could likely save you a good bit of time during your day at the parks. So how is it on the most crowded days of the year? Does it still work? Is it worth it? We tested it out in Disney World.

Okay, so Disney World is currently obsessed with the color blue — and we’re not just talking about the 50th anniversary merchandise, but also with the 50th anniversary FOOD.
MORE blue dye, y’all!
We’ve eaten SO MUCH blue dye, y’all, with all the 50th anniversary snacks. Like we can’t even. From blue cupcakes to blue drinks to blue cronuts, we wouldn’t be surprised if our fingers aren’t permanently stained blue. But we’re doing this so you don’t have to, so today, we tried yet another blue snack!
Disney World has seen a lot of price increases lately.
Watch out for those price increases on food menus!
We’ve seen menu prices go up in EPCOT, Disney Springs, and coming to Typhoon Lagoon, the cost of Annual Passes go up, and the new holiday After Hours events are more expensive than the former holiday parties. And now, there is another price increase in Disney World you should be aware of!
It was announced earlier this year that the Disney Magical Express would be discontinued in 2022.
We’ll miss you, Magical Express
This means there will no longer be free transportation between Orlando International Airport at Walt Disney World. We’ve already seen signs for the service disappear at some Disney hotels, and seen one of the buses for a replacement service in Disney World. The service was set to be discontinued on January 1st, 2022, but we just got an update on when the actual last ride will be for the Disney Magical Express.
