April will not be your average month for Walt Disney World.
April is a busy month for Disney World!
The parks are scheduled to see several premieres, including a new attraction and the return of a popular nighttime spectacular. These changes, plus other factors, mean April is sure to be a busy month! If you can’t handle tons of crowds, you may want to stay away.

There’s a LOT to look forward to in Disney World this year. We’ve been holding out for a new rollercoaster for a while now and that’s not all! Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration started on October 1st of 2021, but the party doesn’t show any signs of stopping any time soon.

With such a long run-time, it’s easy to forget what’s going on with the 50th Anniversary, so we put together a list of ALL our tips, tricks, and guides to help you navigate Disney World in 2022.
What’s that tall, modern building off in the distance? It’s the Swan Reserve hotel! The new hotel is located next to the Swan and Dolphin Resort near EPCOT, and we can’t WAIT for the grand opening.

During our visit to the Swan and Dolphin hotel for the Food & Wine Classic event, we got to check out the Swan Reserve hotel. While we were visiting the new hotel, we had a STUNNING view we HAD to share! Is this a new favorite firework viewing location? You decide!
EPCOT is currently undergoing a massive transformation that includes new rides, lands, restaurants, and more!
EPCOT
Future World has been divided into 3 new neighborhoods, there is a brand new flagship store in the park, and we’re getting closer to the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Part of the transformation is EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, which debuted recently for Disney World’s 50th anniversary. We’ve checked out the show several times since opening night, and, agree there are some viewing locations that are better than others! Here are the best and worst locations to view Harmonious in EPCOT!
Earlier this week, we watched the last showing of EPCOT Forever, the fireworks show that played over the World Showcase Lagoon.
EPCOT
We’re sad to say goodbye to the old Disney World fireworks shows, like EPCOT Forever and Happily Ever After, but we’re also super excited for the new shows that are replacing them for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! Before the debut, we took a look at the music, preparations, and even some testing for EPCOT’s new show. Tonight, we’re finally watching the first showing of EPCOT’s Harmonious. Come take a look with us!
We’re just a couple of weeks away from the premiere of Harmonious, the long-awaited new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT! The show will officially debut on October 1st as part of the kickoff of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.

If you’re just as excited as we are for the new fireworks show, then you’ll want to check out this behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring the soundtrack to life inside the park.
Can we let you in on a little secret? Sometimes we dream about driving away and just ~escaping~ for a bit. Do you relate?
Welcome to Disney World!
Maybe you’re thinking about escaping over to — oh, I dunno — Disney World, perhaps? No judging here. We love that place (did our name give it away? 😂). Gives us something to write about on a daily basis. But before you make the trek out to the Most Magical Place on Earth, let’s play a rousing game of Red Light, Green Light.
EPCOT is undergoing a LOT of changes.
EPCOT
An expansion at the France Pavilion — including the new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction — will open on October 1st, and construction continues on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the new Space 220 restaurant. But there’s something else on the way: an all-new nighttime spectacular! And now, we finally know when this new show — Harmonious — will light up the skies.
EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, will debut soon as part of the major transformation of the park.

Disney hasn’t yet announced a debut date for the new nighttime spectacular, but we’ve been keeping a close eye on the ongoing testing of the show located in the middle of World Showcase Lagoon.
