Even so, we believe that — when it comes to Disney Parks — there’s ALWAYS something to celebrate. [Read more…]
Part of the reason why Disney World is such a special experience compared to other theme parks is their attractions’ cutting edge technology. Just look at Rise of the Resistance!

Ah, Disney World FastPass+. Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying it’s incredibly useful during your Disney World vacation.
Disney World’s FastPass+ system is notoriously complex to master, and understanding the different Tiers and the way they work is integral to making the most of your Disney vacation. After all, those precious minutes in the park are EXPENSIVE. Why waste them standing in line?

So, if you’ve got a Disney World trip this year (or you’re dreaming of one), read on! Here are the three tips you need to master Disney World’s FastPass+ Tiers in 2020!
Ever since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disneyland, we haven’t been able to get enough of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Even though we’ve given you some tips and tricks on how to get some of the best runs, there’s a new hack you’re going to want to try the next time you visit Batuu!
It’s never quiet on the planet Batuu for long… Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened to Walt Disney World guests in Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 29, 2019. As it also was in Disneyland, the new land opened in phases with Phase 1 delivering the debut of the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction.

If you are planning out how to maximize your FASTPASS selections for your Disneyland trip soon, stop where you are!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Disney just announced that FASTPASS is coming soon to a popular attraction from that galaxy far, far away that you might make you rethink your plans.
Hollywood Studios just updated its FastPass tiers a little over a week ago, but NOW — they’ve gone and done it AGAIN!
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Sign
That’s because starting today, you can now reserve your FastPasses for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway for when it opens next month!
When Hollywood Studios recently switched up its FastPass tiers giving Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Slinky Dog Dash equal billing, we knew an epic clash of the attractions would soon be ensuing amongst our family members.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
You see, while many of our tribe are adamant Slinky Dog Dashers, there are also quite a few Smugglers Runners in our midst. The decision was already proving itself to be difficult enough when days later Disney released FastPasses for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway — yet ANOTHER top tier attraction. And now that you can only make a FastPass for one of these three top tier attractions in advance, how do you decide?
Galaxy’s Edge is open on both coasts, and we cannot get enough of Rise of the Resistance and Smugglers Run!
Millennium Falcon
While the park attractions are incredible, we’ve got a way you can go to a galaxy far, far away in your own backyard (and we’re basically about ready to move in).
