food IS a theme park
I’ve been going to Disney World for over 30 years, and by this point, you’d think I’d have been on every single ride.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Call me a bad Disney Adult if you’d like, but the truth is: there’s one Disney World attraction I’ve still never been on — and it’s not exactly one I’m in a hurry to ride anytime soon. I’m a HUGE ride junkie, too, so believe me when I say I have a very, very good — and very blunt — reason for not riding this Disney World ride.
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.

Disney World’s wait times staid relatively stable this week, but TRON: Lightcycle/Run continued to dominate.
It seems to be the time for construction in Disney World! There are lots of construction walls all over Disney World, including in the closed area of DinoLand U.S.A.
This just doesn’t feel right!
The DinoLand U.S.A. closures began on January 13th, 2025, with the closures of TriceraTop Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, and Fossil Fun Game. We were sad when the construction walls went up, and we are also feeling some type of way seeing the progress on TriceraTop Spin.

Disney World’s average attraction wait times increased across the board this past week, with nearly every ride at the resort seeing a massive increase…with one notable exception at Rise of the Resistance. The biggest wait times jump belonged to this week’s busiest ride, Avatar: Flight of Passage, which saw its average wait jump to OVER 90 minutes.
Several Disney World attractions remain closed this week at the parks, but some favorite areas to lounge at several hotels are also unavailable to guests.
Stormalong Bay
This week, four hotel pools and two hotel pool bars will be closed for refurbishment. These seasonal closures don’t usually last long, and they will most likely be reopened by the spring and summer. You can find out which hotel pools and park attractions will be closed this week below!
