food IS a theme park
There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, planning a trip to Walt Disney World is a little bit confusing right now.
Magic Kingdom
There are a LOT of changes, from what rides are open and how they’re operating to how many people are in the park.
Disney World is currently offering limited park capacity, and one of the biggest differences we’ve seen in the parks is shorter wait times across the board! Prior to the park openings, limited capacity and the other major changes we’ve seen at Disney World caused many to wonder how the Boarding Group process for Disney’s newest attraction, Rise of the Resistance, would be impacted.
Rise of the Resistance
What we’ve experienced, however, is a whole lot more of the same when it comes to snagging a Boarding Group. So with access to this attraction being nearly as tricky as it was pre-closure, here are tips and tricks to guarantee yourself that elusive Rise of the Resistance boarding group.
If you were hoping to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios over Labor Day weekend and haven’t reserved you Disney Park Passes yet, you might’ve missed your chance!
Hollywood Studios
Reservations for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have become notoriously more challenging to snag since the new Disney Park Pass system when live, often booking up weeks in advance. And since you need a Disney Park Pass reservation AND valid admission to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios during Disney World’s initial reopening phase, you may not be able to get in at all unless you’re on your A-game! Since this is such a major adjustment, we want to make sure you know what is available and what your park options are.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios experienced a few hiccups yesterday!
Rise of the Resistance
Issues surrounding a HUGE lightning strike that occurred the night before potentially played a role in Rise of the Resistance’s temporary shut down yesterday. But we’re happy to report that all systems appear to be normal again this morning!
Being bad never felt so good!
Cruella’s Halloween Hide-a-Way
We’ve been getting in touch with our villainous side with some of the new merch we spotted at Walt Disney World! We recently found a few wickedly cute pins at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We stuck around the theme park and found more deviously delicious merch from the Celebrity 5 & 10 gift shop! [Read more…]
Let’s get ready to ROCK.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
One of our favorite rollercoasters in Disney World is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Can you blame us? It’s a high-speed “super-stretch limo” ride through loops and turns, all while listening to Aerosmith. That’s pretty killer! Today, we’re celebrating this iconic coaster with some new merch!
Pumpkins scream in the dead of NIGHT!
Nightmare Before Christmas Plush
But don’t die of fright just yet! We haven’t even shown you all the Nightmare Before Christmas and Halloween plush that’s just arrived at Disney World. Even better — most of the plush we’re about to show you have also shown up on Disney’s website where they’re even a little bit cheaper!
How can you visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios without stopping at Crossroads (Because, ya know, it’s right there!)? It’s a great spot to take a peek at new Disney pins!
Welcome to the Crossroads!
If you haven’t started your very own Disney pin collection yet, what are you waiting for!? There are some super cute new pins out there! We really like these Jungle Cruise pins and these delicious Disney Princess Ice Cream Pins. And we’re loving a totally fun new way to display our pin collection… on these Minnie Mouse ears!
The Hollywood Tower Hotel is a star in its own right — so it’s only fitting that it has its own merch!
Tower of Terror
We’re constantly on the lookout for merchandise themed after our favorite attractions! And while the Tower of Terror Minnie Ears we spotted a few weeks ago quickly sold out, we found some NEW items on our trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today!
More Star Wars clothes?? Yes, please!! Wait until you see what we found at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Tatooine Traders
Walt Disney World has no shortage of Star Wars stuff. Did you see these rad new spirit jerseys? And we can totally see ourselves wearing these droid tanks while sipping a beverage from this Mandalorian Tiki Mug! And we will continue to collect more Star Wars items. This is the way!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
