food IS a theme park
You know how it FEELS like the name Disney World is synonymous with the word “crowds,” right?
Magic Kingdom Crowds
There are so many factors as to why Disney World is more or less crowded at a given point — factors like the weather, time of the school year, ticket prices, new attractions, and more. All of that has us wondering, and we’re not alone in it, is Disney World going to be EMPTY this summer? You might be surprised by the answer, so let’s talk about it!
For the THIRD week in a row, Disney World wait times fell this week… and something unprecedented happened.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
The average wait time for the busiest ride in each of Disney World’s theme parks ALL decreased this week, with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train BOTH seeing decreases in the DOUBLE DIGITS! Yeah, we’re shocked, too! These rides are among the most popular in the parks, so seeing their wait times decrease is amazing, especially as we enter the busiest season of the year.
Disney World is full of so many different hotels that cater to almost any need.
Shades of Green
From Value to Moderate to Deluxe and everything in between, chances are you can find a Disney World hotel that tickles your fancy. And if you ask us, some of the best parts about the Disney hotels (and non-Disney hotels located on Disney property) are all the restaurants you have to choose from! But, if you’ve got an upcoming stay booked at one particular hotel, we’ve got a dining update you might want to know about.
It’s certainly no secret that it gets pretty darn hot around Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
And we don’t just mean your regular ol’ hot. We mean, you’ll be sweating through your tank top, you’ll want cooling towels and neck fans, and you absolutely MUST stay hydrated for the sake of your health level of heat. While an ordinary summer day can be quite hot at Disney World, the temperatures are already heating up.
Let’s be honest, Disney World is pretty magical!
EPCOT
But let’s be real, even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, there are some behaviors that will cause you to raise an eyebrow and clutch your Dole Whip a bit tighter, and that’s what we’re here to talk about. Let’s go over some of the things that people do at Disney that are, well, shall we say a bit on the creepy side.
Walt Disney World saw a SECOND week in a row of decreased wait times!
Slinky Dog Dash
With things settling down after the Holiday weekend and the summer rush not yet in full swing, Disney World saw some significant decreases in wait times once again this week. Heavy hitters including the Magic Kingdom’s Big Four, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Slinky Dog Dash, and EVEN Flight of Passage saw average times get lower this past week.
For the second week in a row, Walt Disney World wait times across the resort mostly trended downward over the past 7 days.
Kali River Rapids
Even eternally busy attractions like Avatar: Flight of Passage and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure saw slight decreases this week, which is interesting. However, one water ride saw a MASSIVE leap, which is a big hint that summer and its temperatures are almost here.
We give out plenty of Disney World tips here at DFB, but one of the most important will always be remembering sun protection!
Flying
We seriously cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your skin safe from those harmful UV rays — whether it’s with sunscreen, a hat, loose long-sleeved shirts, or whatever floats your boat. But, we recently learned a travel fact that may or may not have scarred us for life, and if we have to be scared forever now — so do you.
What’s the most iconic place you could go to in Disney World? Magic Kingdom of course!

The amount of dreams and magical moments that come true have to be uncountable at this point. However, there are a number of cringey things happening there that have us questioning if we’ll ever walk into the park again! Let’s talk about them
