food IS a theme park
Disney’s new Lightning Lane Multi Pass has officially gone LIVE!
Lightning Lanes in Walt Disney World
So we’re diving in, head first, and using this new system inside the Disney World parks so YOU can see how it works BEFORE you need to use them, too.
One of our favorite things to do at Disney World is eat (yeah, we know, you must be SO surprised!).
EPCOT Morocco Pavilion
More importantly, though, we love finding those lesser-known snacks that have since become our favorites. We also love to revisit our favorite underrated restaurants to be reminded ALL OVER AGAIN of why we will recommend them. We recently revisited a restaurant in EPCOT, and you know what? It still SLAPS. So come with us as we take a trip to Morocco.
Well, some things have CHANGED in Disney World this week. The new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass system went live and we tested every single thing we could to see how it worked.
Tiramisu Popsicle
However, we saw some changes with dining in Disney World, too, this week. One restaurant closed and reopened as a gift shop in Magic Kingdom. We also revisited Coral Reef Restaurant in EPCOT to see if it’s as bad as we remember. Disney World restaurant menus also changed this week, so let’s take a look at those.
In case you didn’t know about the most recent change at Disney World Genie+ is gone and Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Passes are the new kids on the block. But now the question is, does that affect your plans to attend Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party?
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
It’s fair to say that these new services are going to change how you do Disney World. At their core, they are the new variant of the skip-the-line systems at Disney World with a slightly different paint job, but all that being said, many people want to know if you will be able to use the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party? Let’s find out!
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
Magic Kingdom
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on a RARE character coming back to Magic Kingdom, the CLOSURE of a Disney World Restaurant, and the BIG CHANGE to Lightning Lanes! Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
Have you ever wanted to ride an attraction at Disney World but been too scared or nervous, too?
Space Mountain
Picture this: You finally hyped yourself up to ride an attraction like Tower or Terror or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. You get to the front of the line when, all of a sudden, the panic kicks in, and you want to back out. Well, we have good news for you: Disney plans for this and has “Chicken Exits” (these exits are used for other reasons as well) to allow you to back out of an attraction at the last minute.
It’s that time of the year when we have to keep an eye on hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean. That’s because hurricanes can and have, in fact, impacted Disney World in the past.
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Idalia
Yes, the 2024 hurricane season is here, and it’s expected to be a very busy “potentially explosive” one. We’ve already seen a Cat 5 hurricane, Hurricane Beryl, in the U.S., that seriously impacted Texas. We’re keeping an eye out for storms that could impact Disney World, and we now have an update about a storm system that could affect Florida.
We would argue that Disney World’s live entertainment is some of the best in the world.
Cinderella Castle
There are several outdoor shows put on by characters and Cast Members in each of the parks. Street performers, parades, cavalcades, and other shows pop up throughout the day and bring us lots of joy. Occasionally, Disney will cancel or temporarily remove some of this entertainment for varying reasons. Recently, two shows were suspended for a couple of weeks, but we’re happy to report that they have officially returned back to Magic Kingdom!
You may want to avoid this hotel for the foreseeable future.
Polynesian Village Resort
The Polynesian Village Resort is one of the most iconic at Walt Disney World. One of two original hotels to open with the complex in 1971 — the other being the Contemporary Resort — the resort has long been a jewel of the resort, often hailed by many as the epitome of Disney theming. However, you may want to steer clear of it for the next couple of years.
As you probably know, Disney World food is very important to us.
PB & J Croissant at Everything Pop Food Court
We keep track of attraction closures happening all around Disney World, but when we hear about a restaurant getting a refurbishment, our ears quickly perk up. That’s why this food court news was important to us! Some of our favorite snacks can be found at two Disney World hotel food courts that are getting some work done. Luckily, one will be back to full capacity this week while another will begin some changes.
