By Leave a Comment

When you go to Disney World daily like we do, you get stuck on quite a few rides over time.

Stormtroopers in Rise of the Resistance

Disney rides malfunction from time to time — sometimes due to guest behaviors (like hats flying off or people reaching out of ride vehicles) and sometimes due to technical difficulties. Occasionally, we’ll be onboard a ride when it stops and we get the chance to see “behind the curtain.” So today, we’re sharing some of the most interesting ride closure photos we have!

By 3 Comments

Not EVERY day in Disney World can be perfect, and that’s fine.

Sometimes, the weather just won’t behave. It can be too hot, too cold (YES, it happens), or it could be rainy (especially during hurricane season). Sometimes, rides close due to weather. Sometimes, rides just close for other reasons. Sometimes, you’re ON a ride when it closes, and you have to be evacuated from that ride. Well, that happened to us recently on two different rides ON THE SAME DAY.

I Go to Disney World Every Day and This Has NEVER Happened To Me Before

By 3 Comments

This morning we were evacuated off a Disney ride…BEFORE ENTERING THE PARK!

A quick transportation synopsis for those unfamiliar with how parking works at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom: the park’s lots are located near the Transportation and Ticket Center (the TTC) and unless one wants to walk the whole way, they’ll need to take some form of Disney transportation to the theme park’s front gate after parking their car. Options include the Monorail, ferry boats, and in our unfortunate case today – parking lot trams.
