Refurbishments are a fact of life in Walt Disney World. Rides, shows, and attractions are often closed for refreshes, repairs, and technological upgrades, some for longer times than others.

Fantasia Convertible Loungefly Backpack & Tote Crossbody Bag
You’re carrying sunscreen, phone chargers, snacks, ponchos, maybe a bubble wand you swore you wouldn’t buy. And you’re walking…a lot! That means your bag choice matters way more than you think. Know, we love a cute Loungefly moment as much as anyone, but if it’s digging into your shoulders by 2PM in Magic Kingdom, that vibe disappears real fast.
