Although some things at Disney World that once were free aren’t free anymore, you can still score a few freebies here and there around the resort.
Uptown Jewelers
For example, you can still get free water at some food locations, free transportation around the resort, and free Wi-Fi. And now, for a limited time, you can also get something else free at Disney World — just in time for the holidays!
The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for a LONG time as the construction of the new TRON attraction continues in Magic Kingdom.

Recently, we got some updates on just what’s been going on with the railroad while it has been closed, and now we have some more exciting railroad news!
A lot can change in 50 years! With Disney World celebrating its 50th anniversary, we’ve been feeling nostalgic and looking back at old times, and we’re constantly surprised by just how MUCH is different in the Most Magical Place on Earth these days!
Cinderella Castle
From bygone rides and restaurants to new parks, new hotels, and new attractions, Disney World looks very different than it did in 1971. Oh and let’s not forget the MAJOR change in prices! Some of these “how it started, how it’s goings” might really surprise you! [Read more…]
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is one of those classic, must-do rides in Magic Kingdom.
Know what your must-dos are before you arrive.
In Disney World, it’s common for rides to close temporarily to undergo routine maintenance, and Big Thunder Mountain is no exception. In 2022, the ride will close for a short refurbishment, so take a look at what we’ve learned here.
There are refurbishments and construction projects taking place throughout Disney World.
Splash Mountain
We’re constantly on the lookout for closures and other things going on that could impact your trip so that you can be prepared. If you’re a big fan of Splash Mountain or hoping to complete the Magic Kingdom mountain challenge in early 2022, then we have important news you need to know about.
We woke up to an ominously foggy day in Disney World today that seemed to preview the technical problems we’ve experienced in the parks, and now it seems that there’s another issue in Magic Kingdom.
It was hard to see Cinderella Castle!
When you’re going from the Transportation and Ticket Center to Magic Kingdom, you generally have three transportation options to get to the park entrance: the Monorail, the ferry, or a bus. People traveling to and from Magic Kingdom might have some trouble right now as a main transportation option is closed, so if you’re in Magic Kingdom today, you might want to read on.
We’ve faced all kinds of weather in Disney World over the years.
Tomorrowland on a “Severe Weather Warning” day
From Florida humidity that makes you feel like you’re walking around in a sauna all day, to hurricanes, to torrential downpours, and more, we’ve really seen it all. But, today we arrived at the parks to some weather that we don’t normally encounter in Florida!
If you’re planning on visiting Disney World soon, odds are you’ll use some form of technology while there.
Cinderella Castle
Maybe you’ll use your phone to make Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection passes. Maybe you’ll use a mobile device to place a mobile order. Or maybe you’ll use your MagicBand (and the technology built into that) to scan yourself into the parks and pay for items during your stay. Well, today some of Disney’s various forms of technologies seem to be experiencing issues, and it’s a very good reminder of what you need to be prepared for in the future.
