We just noticed something new on the My Disney Experience app that gives us a tiny sneak peek into these new upcoming shows!
Most of us probably have a Disney picture as the wallpaper on our phones, right? Who can resist seeing their favorite Disney icons smiling back at them every time they unlock the screen?

If you’re looking for a new image for your wallpaper this month, but don’t know what you want, we have a few options for you. Disney released a series of free wallpapers to help us celebrate Pride Month from our phones.
For the past several years, we’ve seen the presence of AdventHealth throughout various parts of Disney World.
Advent Health Signage
In 2019, AdventHealth hosted an outdoor kitchen at EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival. AdventHealth has also served as a sponsor for events in Disney World like the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. In 2020 and 2021, we saw AdventHealth providing temperature checks throughout the resort (note that regular temperature checks are no longer happening at Disney World) and Disney teamed up with AdventHealth to install some special technology for their children’s hospital in Orlando. Last year, Disney and AdventHealth announced some changes that could significantly impact your future visits!
In recent years, especially since the parks reopened in the summer of 2020, technology has become a crucial part of the Disney World experience. From planning your vacation to checking into your hotel room to ordering food and beyond, there’s a variety of times when you’ll be relying on technology to make sure your trip is a success.

While some of us are more tech-savvy than others, there are a few specific examples of times when technology can get the best of all of us! Luckily, most of these incidents just require a little bit of planning before your vacation so you can be prepared!
Eating in Disney World can be a little tricky right now.
Nomad Lounge
With limited capacities remaining in most Disney World restaurants and demand and capacities rising for the parks as a whole, tables in popular spots are in pretty high demand. This is true for restaurants with Advance Dining Reservations and even for some that are walk-up only. There’s even one restaurant in Disney World that you need to rope drop (in a manner of speaking) if you want to visit!
Have you heard of the Disney Genie planning app? Or maybe you heard of it once, but then completely forgot that it existed (perhaps because Disney hasn’t spoken a lot about it)?

At the D23 Expo in 2019, Disney announced that a new planning offering called the “Disney Genie” was coming soon. But since the initial reveal, updates about Disney Genie have been few and far between. So, what’s the deal?? Here’s what we know so far!
