food IS a theme park
Have you ever wondered how Disney determines the Genie+ prices per day?

Well, we noticed something about the prices while in the parks recently that might shed a bit of insight into how the virtual planning assistant is priced.
Love pin trading at Disney World?
Haunted Mansion pin trading board
While it’s been around for a while, the rules surrounding it have changed quite a bit over the past few years. After the COVID-19 closures of 2020, Cast Member lanyards were set aside in favor of pin trading boards across Disney’s parks. Lanyards have slowly started to return, so we figured it was the right time to go over some of the “unspoken” rules you should be following when pin trading!
The holiday season is here!
Hello from a snow-filled Main Street, U.S.A!
We all have our favorite holiday traditions. Maybe it’s visiting Disney World during this magical season. Maybe it’s gifting everyone you know some fun Disney merchandise. Maybe it’s watching your favorite Christmas movies on Disney+, like The Muppet Christmas Carol or Home Alone. Well, make a NEW tradition this year with a brand NEW special on Disney+…featuring Walt Disney himself!
The holidays have arrived in Disney World, especially in Magic Kingdom.
The Dapper Dans in Magic Kingdom
The holiday decorations are up, holiday snacks have arrived, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is ON! However, if you’re planning on visiting Magic Kingdom next week, we’ve got to give you a word of warning: it’s going to be closing early nearly every day next week.
Will you be visiting Disney World for the holiday season?
It’s the holiday season!
It’s probably one of the most magical times of year to visit. You’ve got gorgeous holiday decorations to see, plus a LOT of amazing holiday snacks to try. There’s the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays PLUS Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party AND Jollywood Nights. But you’re probably also looking forward to doing some shopping, too, right? Well, we’re about to give you some solid advice when it comes to souvenirs.
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
Picture this: you’re in EPCOT in late November, the air is crisp, and the Festival of the Holidays event is happening all around. Seasonal EPCOT festivals are a blast! Who doesn’t love an excuse to stroll around the World Showcase and eat small plates of delicious food?
2023 Festival of the Holidays Passport
OK, so clearly, we enjoy the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays (and all the other festivals in EPCOT). But that doesn’t mean we walk around the park with rose-colored glasses. Unfortunately, we’ve gotta share some bad news about the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.
There are a few restaurant and snack spot closures that might affect your next trip to Disney World! Four spots are currently closed and will likely be closed for the entire week.

Have you ever taken a Disney Cruise?
Disney Wish
If you haven’t, there is SO much that a Disney Cruise can offer, regardless of whether you’re a Disney fan, a Marvel fan, or even a Star Wars fan. Disney Cruise Line has something to offer to everyone. So if you’re considering a cruise, we’ve got a special offer we need to tell you about.
It’s been a BUSY week in Disney World, to say the least.
Getting busier
That was to be expected, though. It’s the week of Thanksgiving after all! Most kids are out of school and it’s a popular time to travel to the Most Magical Place on Earth. We’ve noticed the crowds which caused some Mobile Order challenges and the price of Genie+ reached its highest point again due to demand. The skip-the-line service even sold out! But what did the wait times look like throughout the week? It’s time to find out.
