food IS a theme park
We’re back! Are you surprised? We have unexpected news this week from Disney World.
Spaceship Earth
If you visited Disney World this week you might have experienced technical issues, creepy fog, and even closed Monorail lines. Sound fun? Let’s go over everything!
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.
Another week has passed and (as usual) more news has been shared about Disney World and Disneyland’s resorts, attractions, and more!
Magic Kingdom
This week we’ve got some important holiday updates (yes, holiday news in October!), news about 1-night stays at Disney World hotels, and much more. Let’s dive into the top Disney news stories you might have missed from this past week.
No matter how much you plan, sometimes there can be hiccups during your Disney World trip.
Rain in Disney
You could get an unexpected storm roll through while you’re trying to enjoy the parks, your favorite ride could be down, or that piece of merchandise you really wanted could be sold out. Transportation can be another major issue, which is exactly what’s happening right now in Disney World!
Our reporters here at DFB are hard-working people! They’re in the parks every day of the week to bring the latest news, braving the heat, the crowds, and the general chaos of Disney World.
It was quite the week!
This past week, our Disney warriors hit the parks for the 50th Anniversary, phones charged, cameras ready, and reusable utensils on standby — ready to try what seemed like a million snacks and share photos of all the news. And let us just tell you, it was NOT a normal Friday. Some pretty funny things happened to our DFB reporters last week!
It’s another month down in Disney World and now we’re on to the 50th Anniversary celebrations!
EPCOT
Well, you know what the end of the month means. That’s right! It means we’re back to check in on all the most unexpected and vacation-altering news that happened in Disney World last month! September was pretty wild as we geared up for the 50th, so let’s take a look at the news!
This is a big week, as Disney World’s 50th anniversary officially kicks off.
Happy 50th, Disney World!
Disney dropped some HUGE news bombs ahead of the 50th debut, and we’re here to go over all the surprises from this week!
We’re at EPCOT this evening for the first performance of Harmonious! On the way out, guests were treated to a special surprise of Spaceship Earth lit up in its new nighttime “Beacons of Light” look (and it’s GORGEOUS, btw).
Spaceship Earth’s new nighttime lighting is simply gorgeous!
Spaceship Earth isn’t the only thing getting a new nighttime “glow up” for the 50th Anniversary Celebration — and no, we aren’t talking about the other three park icons, either!
We know there’s nothing quite like coming up to that first glimpse of Magic Kingdom, especially if it’s your first visit to Disney World!
50th Train Station
Unless you’re coming from one of the Magic Kingdom area resorts, your MK day will likely be starting at the Ticket and Transportation Center. From here, you can grab one of the two iconic forms of Disney transportation — the monorail or the ferry boat — and make your way across Seven Seas Lagoon. However, there’s another way you can get to Magic Kingdom that people tend to sleeping on.
Hello to our DFB Friends. We’re on the West Coast and diving into everything Disneyland Resort!
Happy Halloween from Downtown Disney!
So while we’ve been enjoying all the Halloween snacks, the Oogie Boogie Bash, and getting ready for the holidays, we’ve been all over Disneyland to see what’s new!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
