food IS a theme park
Disney World was FULL of surprises this week!
Magic Kingdom
Not that it surprises us that Disney was surprising…er…something like that. Anyway, this week was full of holiday announcements, character meet-and-greet news, and lots more! Check out all the news here!
Are there any rides in Disney World that you would wait for no matter HOW long the wait time was?
Cinderella Castle
Maybe it’s Tower of Terror, Rise of the Resistance, Space Mountain, Frozen Ever After, or even Living with the Land (we see you!). Whichever ride it is, we can bet that even though you would wait in a long line, you would probably rather not. That’s when you turn to Disney Genie+ or rope dropping to help out! So, which rides do you need to have a plan for to avoid a super long wait? Let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week in Disney World to find out!
There’s so much to do at Disney World!
Hello, EPCOT Ball!
During a trip, our first stop is usually Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, or EPCOT. But how about Disney Springs?! Disney Springs is filled with so much to experience — shopping, food, treats, drinks, and more! And when we made Disney Springs our first stop today, we were not disappointed!
Here there DFB friends! We’re back again with more of what’s new in EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
If you’re like us, you love hearing about anything and everything new around Disney World, and EPCOT was no exception this week! From a new Lightyear merchandise collection to several new MagicBands, it’s a good time to go shopping in EPCOT.
It’s summertime in Disney World, and you know what that means!
Magic Kingdom
It’s HOT. And humid. And also, probably crowded! The parks are filled with guests taking their vacations in between school years, so you’ll need a special set of skills to navigate the theme parks during this time of year. And if you’re traveling soon, we want to help set your expectations properly, so we’re sharing a full crowd update on what Disney World looks like right now!
There are some pretty cool queues in Disney World! Seriously, some of the theming is SO intricate, like on Rise of the Resistance and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Then, there are queues that are interactive, like over at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Peter Pan’s Flight.

These rides definitely reign superior to those that are almost completely outside with nothing to do, or for those where you’re basically just standing in the dark (looking at you, The Seas with Nemo and Friends!). Luckily, the rides with the longest wait times usually (not always) tend to have pretty interesting queues. So, let’s take a look at which lines you’ll be spending the most time in line at in Disney World soon by checking out last week’s wait times!
For many, this summer is THE time to travel, since vacations have been on hold for the past couple of years and now a lot of COVID-19 restrictions are being relaxed. We’ve seen some big crowds in Disney World, and tourist destinations all over the world are in high demand. But the itch to get out and travel hasn’t hit everyone, and even some people who want to get out and vacation are putting their plans on hold for a while longer.
Not everyone is ready to travel
There are still plenty of reasons to not travel this summer, including health concerns, inflated prices, and limited capacity at tourist spots. But what are the BIGGEST reasons why you’re staying home instead of packing your suitcase? We asked you on Facebook, and now we’ve got the results! [Read more…]
As many Disney World fans know, there is a LOT more to do in the parks than just go on rides!
The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!
You can shop for merch, eat delicious food, watch fun shows, go on exciting scavenger hunts, and meet some of your favorite characters. But, let’s face it — the rides are a BIG deal in the parks, which is why you see those high wait times! With summer here, that usually means big crowds, so let’s check out how bad the wait times were this past week in Disney World.
Do you ever wonder HOW much time you spend waiting in line in Disney World?
There are a TON of lines you might not expect in Disney World!
It’s obviously different for everyone, depending on what you decide to do during your trip. But, you probably end up waiting in more lines than you think you will — lines to check-in to your hotel, for transportation, to scan into the parks, to check-out of stores, for quick-service food, for the bathroom, and obviously, for rides. Ride lines can be a huge time suck during your trip, so let’s take a look at the average wait times from this week in Disney World to get an idea of how much time YOU could spend waiting for your favorite attractions soon!
