food IS a theme park
If you’ve been wanting to ride every ride on Disney property as many times as you’d like, the day has finally come.
Virtual Queue at Tiana’s
This controversial Disney system is leaving Magic Kingdom and EPCOT tomorrow!
How are we almost at the end of February? This year is FLYING, but that’s because maybe so much is going on in Disney World.
Avocado Margarita
Just this week alone, we discovered a secret menu at a Disney World hotel restaurant, learned about a new interactive experience coming to Disney Springs, learned that virtual queues for two rides will be going away soon, and more. But Disney World restaurants have also been busy…changing their menus. So we’re going to get you updated on those changes.
Another week, more Disney news!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World planning can be tough! There are so many things to think about like which snacks you want to try, the place you want to stay, the way you’re getting to the parks, and more. The fact that Disney is constantly changing doesn’t make it any easier so we’re wrapping up the the biggest Disney news stories from this week all in one place!
We can’t believe it’s time to say goodbye to the first EPCOT festival of the year!
EPCOT
It’s time to pack up your paintbrushes and easels and get ready for EPCOT’s next festival!
OK, we’ll say it: we are control freaks. We carefully plan our trips to Disney World, scour menus ahead of time, and look inside each and every hotel before we book a reservation. But there are some things we just can’t control. GAH!
Walt Disney World entrance
We hate to admit it, but we can’t control the crowds, the lines, or the prices during the busy season at Disney World. It’s inevitable! But here’s the thing. Even though a lot of people already know that Disney World tends to be C R O W D E D in March, there’s one mistake we still see people making on vacation. Don’t make this mistake!
Staying at Disney World hotels provides numerous perks that can help make your vacation better! For example, you can take advantage of a complimentary day at a Disney World water park on your check-in day, enjoy extra time in the park with Early Entry, and get free parking at the theme parks.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Another big perk is taking advantage of complimentary Disney World transportation. This transportation can pretty much get you anywhere you want to go on Disney World property and includes a network of boats, buses, monorails, and the Skyliner. However, one Disney World hotel’s transportation options have decreased.
While we’re still waiting for Test Track to reopen later this year, we’ve seen some pretty great news come out of EPCOT.
Spaceship Earth
February is usually quiet at Disney World, but not this year with all the closures that have been happening. However, it’s not all bad news as EPCOT introduced some pretty awesome updates!
Disney often takes the time to highlight and support its Cast Members, and this month, it held a special event for veteran Cast Members!
American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT
In The American Adventure at EPCOT, a special guest visited Cast Members to celebrate their achievements and service!
Disney World has a lot of projects in the works right now. We’ve already seen permits filed for construction on the Cars expansion for Magic Kingdom, as well as the new Villains Land.
Spaceship Earth
We’ve also seen permits related to the new Villains show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as permits to help transform DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom into Pueblo Esperanza. Now, we’ve spotted two NEW permits, including one for EPCOT, presumably for the new Spaceship Earth Lounge, as well as for Ye Olde Christmas Tree Shoppe in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square. Both permits are for signage.
Well, Disney fans, we can finally hit snooze on that 6:55 AM alarm!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
For years, 7 AM has been the make-or-break moment for all of us Disney World guests hoping to secure a spot in the Virtual Queue for rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcycle / Run, or Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. If you weren’t up and ready to go, your shot at riding some of Disney’s biggest attractions without a long standby wait could be gone in seconds. But very soon that early morning stress will be officially over. Starting February 25, 2025, Disney World is officially doing away with Virtual Queues (for the time being), meaning you can roll out of bed whenever you want and still have a chance to ride. Let’s break down what this change means for your next Disney World trip.
