food IS a theme park
Disney World is constantly changing!
EPCOT
Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in August!
Let’s face it — Disney World is expensive.
Vacation can cost a lot of money!
People can easily spend thousands and thousands of dollars on family vacations between just the hotels, tickets, and food alone. That’s not even taking into account things like airfare or stuff you might have to buy for your trip! So, we’re always on the lookout for ways that you can save money when you’re in the parks. One of the ways to do this is by being aware of ticket prices. They vary from day to day and from park to park, so you can save a lot by picking dates (or parks) that cost less than others. We’re going to break down the CHEAPEST days to visit Disney World in 2023!
We’re experts when it comes to alllllll things Disney dining.
Classic DOLE Whip
We’ve been to every EPCOT festival, experienced all the holidays in the parks, and have snacked our way through Disney World more times than we can count. And YOU can be a Disney food expert too with our DFB Guides to Walt Disney World dining. In fact, you can get our DFB Guides on SALE right now — but you’ll have to be fast!
We LOVE Amazon Prime. Like, we would probably marry it if we could. One of the best things about ordering from Amazon Prime is being able to order items and receive them super quickly!
Cinderella Castle
This can come in handy when you’re headed out for a last minute trip, or if it’s a few days before you leave and you realize you need a few things!
Summer is winding down, school is starting, and you might already be thinking about your next vacation (we know we are!).
This is Halloween!
With so much excitement happening around Disney World throughout the upcoming months, now might just be the perfect time to plan a trip. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is in full swing, and we’re still enjoying all the eats and drinks at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival too. If you’ve been thinking about a trip, we’ve got the Disney World hotel and ticket deals you might find this September to help convince you to book!
A lot of things have changed about Disney World since the global pandemic shut down the parks in 2020.
Magic Kingdom
The Disney Dining Plan disappeared, Extra Magic Hours shifted into something new, and the free FastPass+ was replaced by Genie+, which you have to pay for. Another thing that switched up was how you plan your Disney World vacation — you now need both a theme park ticket AND a theme park reservation in order to get into the parks. This system doesn’t seem to be leaving any time soon, but it IS changing.
Are you planning a Disney World trip sometime within the next few years?
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
In case you missed it, 2023 Disney World vacation packages are already available and you can even make 2024 Disney World park reservations. But if you’ve got plans to book your Disney World hotel years before your trip, the way you can book your hotel in advance has changed.
When it comes to making your way around Disney World, you’ve got plenty of transportation options.
Disney Skyliner
You can take monorails, boats, buses — even Minnie Vans! Disney’s newest method of transportation — the Skyliner — debuted in 2019 and has given a whole new meaning to the term “scenic route.” But, if you’re heading to Disney World in the future be warned — the Skyliner will be closing for refurbishment SOON and we’ve got all the details!
Buckle up, y’all. It’s about to get COMPLICATED.
Disney Genie
But don’t worry, we’re doing our best to break it down. Disney Genie+ is the new-ish way to skip the standby lines in Disney World, and it has been quite a hot topic since it first debuted in the parks. Some guests rave about it, while others think it’s a waste of money. The service has gone through a few updates, and it looks like it has just changed AGAIN. Let’s take a look at the NEW Disney Genie+ changes and how they will impact your next visit.
Flying hasn’t been easy for many travelers lately.
Flying hasn’t been easy lately.
From increasing airfare and fees to delayed and canceled flights, getting from Point A to Point B might be a challenge these days. Staffing shortages and already reduced flight schedules are partially to blame, and experts don’t see the airline industry correcting itself anytime soon. But, in the wake of thousands of canceled flights and traveler nightmares, one airline will resume servicing FOUR routes from Orlando International Airport!
