We go to Disney World every day and have found these six upgrades to make our days in the parks and our time at our resorts more enjoyable. We are letting you in on a little secret as these six upgrades can help make your time at Disney World easier.
Four years ago, Disney World closed and then later reopened due to the global pandemic. After four years, some things still have not returned to normal in Disney World.
Japan Pavilion in EPCOT
For example, much of Disney World’s streetmosphere entertainment, like the Citizens of Main Street, have never returned. Some restaurant offerings (like afternoon tea at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort) never returned. Although a lot of things are now back to normal, even some restaurant hours haven’t been the same since 2020. One EPCOT restaurant, though, has finally returned to being open seven days a week, for the first time since 2020.
Paying full Disney World prices for things you don’t have to, hitting up the parks during their most crowded times, and… going to the WRONG bathroom??

And if you’ve been keeping up with Disney World’s hotel renovations, you’ve probably noticed a trend. Disney really has been leaning hard into sleek, modern designs that can feel a bit more like you’re staying at a chic downtown hotel and less like you’re in the middle of the most magical place on earth. So, if you’re missing the bold Disney flair and character details that once dominated the rooms, don’t worry! Let’s talk about a couple of Disney World hotels where you can escape the contemporary designs and dive right into all the nostalgia and whimsy you crave! [Read more…]
As Hurricane Milton gets closer to landfall, Florida is preparing for high winds and potential flooding.
Disney World before Hurricane Helene
Orlando International Airport has currently ceased commercial flights, although it remains open to flights dedicated to emergency, aid, and relief. Today, October 9th, Disney World closed early and will remain closed through tomorrow, October 10th. That means that many guests will be riding out the hurricane in their Disney World hotel rooms. Ahead of the storm, though, we saw Disney World beginning to prepare at Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs.

Disneyland
