food IS a theme park
Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate!
Dapper Dans in Easter outfits
We’ve been warning you about the high Disney Genie+ prices to expect this whole week, due to both spring break crowds and the Easter holiday weekend. Now that it’s officially Easter, it’s time to take a look at the crowds around Disney World.
If you want to have the best Disney World vacation possible, the trick is to be prepared! And that process starts months before your trip.

You’ll need to think in advance about where you want to stay and book your hotel quickly before the rooms fill up. You’ll want to make your dining reservations as soon as you hit that 60-day mark so you get the best options. But perhaps most importantly of all — you need to make your Disney Park Passes in advance so you can actually get into the theme parks!
Genie+ is more expensive than ever.
Genie+ on the My Disney Experience app
Genie+ is already a controversial feature among Disney fans since FastPass used to be complimentary. It became an even more controversial topic since Disney introduced flexible pricing based on demand in October 2022. Now, Genie+ has been selling out daily and the price has gone up to $35. Why is this? Well, we may have some answers.
It’s an important day in EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
The EPCOT Forever fireworks show has returned to this park hot on the heels of the 18-month long run of Harmonious, which celebrated Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration. The 50th anniversary is over now, so EPCOT Forever is back (for a limited time). Come with us to check out the crowds on the first night of this show’s return! [Read more…]
Got your tissues ready? Good, because Happily Ever After is officially BACK in Magic Kingdom!
Getting ready to begin!
We’re so excited to have this show return to Disney World, and we’re not the only ones celebrating. Fans have been awaiting the return of the beloved nighttime show since it was first announced at the D23 Expo in 2022. We were able to get a preview of the show’s return last month, but today (April 3rd) is its official return, and the crowds definitely turned up to see the “new” show.
If you’ve been to Disney World around spring break, you know the crowds are NO. JOKE.
Walt Disney World!
Not only are schools on break, but there are a lot of exciting things happening in Disney World right now which is why park passes have pretty limited availability this week. The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, TRON Lightcycle / Run is officially opening with a new pop-up shop and interactive experience, and so much more. We’re showing you what the crowds are like in Disney World at this time of year and how Genie+ broke a record today!
EVERYTHING is changing in Disney World.
Happily Ever After is back!
The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially ended, which means we’re already starting to see a LOT of things getting updated in the parks. We’ve already mourned the loss of some 50th anniversary snacks, but we have celebrated the return of some classic treats. But TOMORROW will bring HUGE changes to nighttime entertainment, and well, things could get a little WILD.
It’s spring break season and so much is happening in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom

Can you believe it’s the LAST day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary?
Cinderella Castle
This celebration lasted for over a year — it began on October 1st of 2021, and now it’s finally coming to an end. We started to see the 50th Anniversary disappear from the parks a few weeks ago, and we’re there for the final day today, but let’s really take a look at these CROWDS!
If we’re being honest, we all know that Disney World’s lines can get VERY long.
