This Is the BEST Disney World Roller Coaster Hack and We Won’t Be Taking Questions at This Time

By 2 Comments

Okay, we have to admit it — Happily Ever After is probably one of our favorite fireworks shows EVER.

Happily Ever After

This special fireworks show that happens nightly (well, on MOST nights, that is) is a do-not-miss event, for sure. But with a Happily Ever After viewing comes a BIG problem, especially if you’re watching from Main Street, U.S.A. That problem is CROWDS, and even when the park isn’t super busy, you’ll deal with a lot of people. But we’ve got a WAY better way to see Happily Ever After and you’re going to want to try it next time you’re in Magic Kingdom.

Lines Are Getting LONGER in Disney World…But Not Where You’d Expect

By Leave a Comment

One of the most important things to pay attention to during your Disney World trip is the wait times!

Disney World requires a LOT of walking!

You pay SO much money to get into the parks, so you want to make the most of your time right? That’s why we’re always tracking the changes in wait time patterns and boy, do we have an update for you today. Wait times have been decreasing at a steady pace across the board, but times increased at EVERY attraction in one Disney World park this week. You may think it’s Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom…but this actually happened at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

ALERT: One Of Magic Kingdom’s Most Popular Rides Unexpectedly Closed. Here’s the Plan.

By Leave a Comment

Not everything in Disney World goes according to plan.

Magic Kingdom

Sometimes, you’re hit with bad weather. Sometimes, a bear invades Magic Kingdom (okay, well, it only happened ONCE…so far). Sometimes, your favorite ride is closed. That’s exactly what happened with TRON Lightcycle / Run. It was closed literally all day long, and sadly this does happen. So we thought we’d share tips on what to do if it happens to you.

You Won’t BELIEVE This Fact About the Country Bear Jamboree Closure at Disney World 😱

By Leave a Comment

In case you missed it, Country Bear Jamboree is now closed in Magic Kingdom. But don’t worry — it’s coming back!

Those Country Bears are POPULAR!

It won’t look the same as the opening day Disney World attraction with changes to the songs, costumes, characters, and more, but it will return this summer in its new form. We were in Magic Kingdom on the last day of operation witnessing lengthy lines for the show just to see the final run get canceled 😢. However, we noticed something in the wait times that kinda shocked us!

When it comes to new theme park ride ideas, Disney has no shortage of places to find inspiration.

Expedition Everest in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

But a lot of folks tend to forget that Disney also owns a good portion of National Geographic, and believe it or not, there is a possibility of a National Geographic ride coming to the parks!

Cinderella Castle

Sure, the holiday season may be over, but can you really count on wait times to go down in the parks come January? Planning a Disney World trip certainly isn’t easy, and when you’ve got long lines and crowds to worry about, things can get overwhelming pretty quickly. But, that’s where we come in!

ALERT: The Highest Wait Time Belongs to a NEW Ride in EPCOT!

By Leave a Comment

Yes, you probably enjoy shopping and eating around Disney World, but let’s face it — most people are there for the rides!

EPCOT

We can’t blame you because Disney World is full of both classic and innovative attractions. While many think of Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom as the parks with the longest wait times, EPCOT has a couple of rides that pull big crowds of their own. Those two attractions are Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Frozen Ever After, and one just BEAT the other for the highest wait time in the park!
