Park Pass Reservations have become essential to a Disney World vacation, much like buying a ticket or making hotel reservations.
Park Pass Reservations are a must
If you’re heading to any of the four Disney World parks, you’ll need to reserve a pass for the specific park you’re visiting along with a ticket. This new system came into being when Disney World reopened after the 2020 closure, and it looks like it’ll be here to stay for a while. The dates for reservations have been extended again! Check out how far in advance you can book your reservations for your upcoming trip. [Read more…]

For most people, going to Disney World is a dream come true!

But just like every rose has its thorns, not every Disney vacation is perfect!

Ah, the Walt Disney World main gate!
Well, unless you’re willing to pay the hefty price of renting a car and then paying to park at your hotel or at the parks, one of your best options might be a rideshare service like Uber.

Rest assured — we’re breaking it all down and giving you some of our BEST tips for using Uber at Disney World!
