When it comes to planning that perfect Disney World trip, you always have to stay on your toes because things open and close all the time.
Typhoon Lagoon Wave Pool
We’re used to attractions opening and closing but did you know Disney World has full water parks that do the same?

We love being around Disney World during the holidays for a whole host of reasons — but especially because of all the limited-time eats we get to try!
Disney Springs
You don’t even need a park ticket for some of our favorites, either. In fact, if you’re heading to Disney Springs this weekend you’re in for a real treat because a BONUS COOKIE will be available at Gideon’s Bakehouse!
Even amongst the bustling crowds in Disney World, you can find a little peace.
The crowds at Disney World can get crazy!
Inside each of the parks, quiet areas can present themselves– if you know where to look. Sometimes, benches will be open for a break, or less familiar attractions can provide some air conditioning. But if you’re looking for a more secluded spot to avoid the packed parks, even just for a little while, you might want to check out this hidden gem.
The EPCOT transformation is finally wrapping up!
EPCOT
The changes that took years to complete are almost done, with Disney finishing up touches on World Celebration after the recent opening of Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. In just a few weeks, the construction walls will come down in the park. But to add to those updates…we’re getting a new fireworks show!
After dismantling Disney World’s special taxing district and replacing it with the DeSantis-appointed Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, Universal has now filed for a special tax district of its own.
Cinderella Castle
Disney is currently suing DeSantis in federal court over the matter, claiming retaliation and infringement on its First Amendment rights. And now, with Universal’s special tax district approval, Disney has shared its thoughts in a new court filing.

But we’re also STOKED to be able to ride Jingle Cruise, the holiday version of Jungle Cruise. So let’s head on over to Adventureland to catch our boat!
Disney Springs is the kind of place we just don’t want to leave!
Disney Springs
