Let’s go somewhere!
Let’s face it — air travel can be a pain. While it’s still the fastest way to get from point A to point B, between getting the right airfare and navigating airports, it’s not the most enjoyable part of a vacation. Fortunately, if you’re planning a trip through Orlando International Airport (MCO), the airport offers a free perk that may make traveling loads easier!

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about the increasing costs of visiting Disney World and Disneyland. When Walt Disney was initially developing the parks, he envisioned an “affordable playground for families, where visitors could imagine themselves entering the dreamlike world of Disney’s animated movies.”

However, price increases and the reduction of complimentary services like the Magical Express and FastPass+ have made a Disney vacation out of reach for many people.

Disney World’s wait times staid relatively stable this week. While there was some slight changes, the busiest rides at the resort remained unchanged.
While open-to-close Disney World days are TOUGH on the body (and sometimes the mind, let’s be honest), you at least know you’ve 100% gotten your money’s worth.

However, some people choose to have split days, where they spend the morning and early afternoon at their hotel or relaxing, and then head into a park later in the day to enjoy the evening. This is significantly easier when the parks are open later, and if that’s what you were looking for over the next two months, we have great news — Disney has extended their park hours in three parks on certain days in February and March!

Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s average attraction wait times increased across the board this past week, with nearly every ride at the resort seeing a massive increase…with one notable exception at Rise of the Resistance. The biggest wait times jump belonged to this week’s busiest ride, Avatar: Flight of Passage, which saw its average wait jump to OVER 90 minutes.
As a Millennial, I’m not too jaded to admit when Gen Z does something right (and honestly, they’ve got quite a bit figured out already).
He’s precious!
But, when it comes to Disney World fashion, Gen Z is definitely doing things right. Whether it’s crew socks, tennis skirts, character plush keychains, or the latest park bag, I’m SEATED and taking notes. And, after seeing Gen Z use this park bag everywhere at Disney World, I decided to try one myself!
Okay, so you’ve done all your planning for your Disney World trip, and you know where you’re staying, how long you’re staying, what tickets you need, and all that other stuff. Maybe you’re even working on your packing list…or maybe you’ve even started packing.

So what are you forgetting? Well, if you are going to Disney World, there’s one thing a lot of us forget to do when we visit. We often forget to check park hours. Well, if you haven’t checked park hours and you’ll be in Disney World this week…you’ll need to know that Magic Kingdom will be closing a lot earlier on January 30th than normal.

Disney World’s average wait times usually fluctuate higher or lower based on how many people are in the parks, and it’s usually an overall sort of deal. We often see wait times increase overall, or lower overall, but in this case, we were surprised at how up and down they were across the board. One park in particular has really jumped up in crowds, and we’re wondering if you can guess why.
