food IS a theme park
Bluey has hit Disneyland and with it, massive, MASSIVE, crowds.
Bingo and Bluey
A brand new Bluey experience debuted at Disneyland, and apparently, we aren’t the only fans of the Heeler family, because the crowds were unlike anything we’ve seen before.
I’m here to warn you about a problem we encountered at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival!
2026 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
This festival has a lot to offer, with stunning topiaries and gardens, plenty of activities, and some delicious food options. However, because it’s so wonderful and it takes place during some prime travel seasons of Spring Break and early summer, it can be CROWDED. When those crowds arrive, there’s one problem in particular that we noticed.

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. This week, the Guardians of the Galaxy held on to the top spot, topping 90 MINUTES!
We get it, it’s spring break, and everyone wants to use that time for a Disney World vacation. The only problem is, EVERYONE wants to use that time for a Disney World vacation!

There’s something about a day at Disney World that brings out big emotions with soaring highs, the sugar crashes, and meltdowns in 95-degree heat.

The parks are crowded, the lines are long, and yes, your feet hurt. But “hot and overstimulated” isn’t a free pass to forget basic decency. From guests who treat queues like suggestions to those who decide the rules simply don’t apply to them, some people have taken their not-so-magical moments to spectacular new lows. If you’ve ever witnessed behavior that made you clutch your Mickey ears in disbelief, you’re not alone. Let’s dive into five tales of guests behaving so, so, so, so, so, so, so badly.

Long lines for the attraction right before it closed!
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. The Aerosmith version of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed forever on March 2nd, and fans gave it a massive final encore as Disney World’s busiest average wait time.
Disney Springs — under numerous names — has been one of the most popular spots on Disney property for going on 50 years, and is a go-to destination for guests whenever they visit the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
