food IS a theme park
We’re nearing the end of summer, which means there will be fewer crowds and more refurbishments coming to Disney World.
Carousel of Progress Refurbishment
But don’t worry, we’re not fully in that territory yet! Only TWO attractions will be closed for refurbishment in September, and one of them isn’t even in the traditional theme parks!
Disney World is known for being fun for guests of all ages. There are slow rides with no height restrictions for the younger ones, fast and action-packed rides for the thrill seekers, and shows for the guests who just want to relax.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
But let’s all be honest — there are some rides where age plays a factor in whether or not you’ll be enjoying the attraction. What we once loved to ride as kids may not be as much fun in our 30s. With that being said, there may be some rides that we tend to avoid now that we’re older.
If you are planning a Disney World vacation, there are a lot of things to consider! From hotel accommodations to park tickets and more, you may find yourself thinking through what your actual day at Disney World will look like.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
For some travel parties, you might be concerned about your ability to ride certain attractions at Disney World due to body size and weight. We’re here to walk you through the Disney World attractions that you might find uncomfortable and what to do if you do not fit in the ride vehicle.
TRON Lightcycle / Run is the newest Magic Kingdom coaster at Disney World, and it opened in Magic Kingdom on April 4th, 2023. But over the past few years, since it opened, many guests have expressed frustration over the attraction.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Since the ride’s opening, guests have experienced issues with fitting on the unique style of ride vehicle. Unlike other rides at Disney World, this attraction requires you to sit in a similar seat to a bike. This caused issues with guests being able to sit on these seats. So if you’re wondering if you will fit on TRON, you aren’t alone. [Read more…]
It’s HAPPENING! The newly refurbished Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has soft opened at Magic Kingdom.
It’s OPEN!
We got the chance to check out this new ride as part of a media event and Cast Member previews, but now it looks like Disney has decided to open the ride a bit earlier than the official April 8th reopening date! Here’s everything we know about this soft opening.
I’ve been going to Disney World since 1993, and while I love the rides, there are some that I’m just not going on.
Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train
Disney is full of all kinds of rides, from thrilling attractions to slower speed boat rides. While every guest probably has their own favorite ride, there are rides that even the Disney World pros will skip out on. Here are eight attractions we skipped and why you might want to, too!
Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
One of the major projects going on in Magic Kingdom is the lengthy refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. This iconic ride is getting a bit of a refresh in the form of a new track, in what Disney is calling a “mountain-top to cavern-deep refurbishment.” Needless to say, there’s a LOT of work being done here. Originally, Disney shared that the ride would reopen sometime this spring, but a new permit amendment has us thinking the refurbishment might be taking longer than originally anticipated.
I go to Disney World for the rides. Yes, yes, I love trying new snacks that become new favorites and watching Disney’s nighttime spectaculars, which usually end with me in tears (I swear Happily Ever After was made to have you cry, okay?), but there’s something about the rides that always keeps me coming back time and time again.
Slinky Dog Dash
I’ve been on just about every ride at Disney World (okay, admittedly, I haven’t been on Astro Orbiters yet, but I have been at Disneyland, and that should count for something), but there are some I avoid at all costs — including the beloved Slinky Dog Dash.
