Until teleportation is invented, we’ll be stuck flying (or driving) to Disney World.

And while the lack of teleportation may be a pain, flying to Disney World has been made easier with Orlando International Airport’s addition of a new airline, new routes, and paid ground service transportation options. Now, those in Brazil will also have an easier time traveling to Disney World!
Happy Star Wars Day, and May the Fourth be with you!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We’re celebrating all day long throughout the Disney parks with special experiences, limited-edition merchandise, and so many Star Wars-themed treats we can hardly keep track. It looks like we’re not the only ones celebrating today, though, as there’s a new employee over at the Orlando International Airport who looks awfully familiar… let’s check it out!
There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding airlines and flying lately. Frontier is attempting a merger with Spirit Airlines, JetBlue is cutting back on staff, and Orlando International Airport is debuting a brand new terminal in September!

Now, your summer vacation plans may have gotten a tad bit easier with this new announcement from Orlando International Airport.
We’ve shared a lot of details about what we can expect from the brand new South Terminal C when it opens at Orlando International Airport. We know that it will use advanced technology to expedite the TSA process like facial recognition and a luggage identification system. It will also feature restaurants from the folks at Wine Bar George AND Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ AND The Polite Pig. Plus, it’s getting a brand new Disney Store. Basically, this is an exciting update for the Orlando International Airport.

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
There have been a LOT of changes over the past few month when it comes to face masks.
Face mask signage earlier this year in Disney World
Disney World is no longer requiring face masks on any transportation, certain airlines have changed their mask policies, and Uber has even changed their mask requirements. And now, a major change has been made to face mask requirements at Orlando International Airport.
It’s no secret that air travel has gone through quite a few issues over the last few years.
How do YOU get to Disney World?
Flights have been canceled more often than we’ve ever seen before, and we’re still dealing with health and safety restrictions as well. Things seem to be returning to normal at Orlando International Airport, however, as travelers were out in full force over the Easter holiday weekend.

For quite some time, the NEW South Terminal C has been in development at Orlando International Airport. This new space will feature a whole bunch of things including a new Disney store, a new restaurant from the folks over at Wine Bar George, and so much more. While we’ve seen concept art for this new space, today we finally got to get a first look INSIDE and see what construction looks like right now!
If you plan on flying to Disney World today, you may need to check your flight status ASAP.

We recommend keeping a close eye on your flight status flying into and out of Orlando International Airport. Delays happen, cancellations occur, and weather often causes problems. Today, though, one airline is having some technical issues that have resulted in over 100 Orlando flights being canceled.
Booking flights can be pretty tricky.
Airplane
Airlines seem to be getting more and more expensive by the day, and if you’ve flown through the Orlando International Airport recently, you’ll know those crowds are no joke. There are tons of different airlines that offer different benefits that might help you and your family out while you’re traveling and one budget airline just added a new fare category with a couple more perks that might help your travel run smoother.
Ever wondered what it would be like to eat like Oprah Winfrey? Well, you can come CLOSE to it in Disney World (kind of)!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is located in Disney Springs and is owned by — as you might guess — Chef Art Smith who has cooked for some big names like Oprah and President Barack Obama and competed on Iron Chef America and Chopped All Stars on The Food Network in the past. Here you’ll find all the southern comfort food you could ever want (including a moonshine bar!), but soon you won’t have to head to Disney World to try some of the chef’s signature dishes!
