food IS a theme park
Welcome back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’re takin’ a trip around the park to let you know everything that’s new in food, merch, and more. Let’s get started!
UPDATE: The following day, May 21st, Rise of the Resistance was up and running as usual.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is one of the newest rides in Disney World, but it can also be one of the toughest to get on.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
To get on Rise of the Resistance, you’ll need to join a boarding group which can be difficult enough on its own. But, aside from getting a Boarding Group, technical issues and other problems can arise (just as they do with any other Disney ride) that cause Rise of the Resistance to close temporarily. And it looks like today is one of those days, as Rise of the Resistance is temporarily closed in Disney World.
A LOT has changed in Disney World lately!
Millennium Falcon
On Friday, Disney announced that face masks would no longer be required in outdoor areas (with a few exceptions). We’ve seen plexiglass start to disappear on certain attractions, and some shows have reduced physical distancing, but now one of the most popular rides in all of Disney World is seeing some changes!
Here at DFB, we’ve been lucky enough to spot quite a few celebrities in the parks!
Magic Kingdom
Just like us, they like to visit Disney World with their families and enjoy a little magic from time to time. Whether they’re there for work or pleasure, it can be a little challenging to spot them if you’re not looking in the right places — the parks are pretty big, and usually, these people are just trying to blend into the crowd. But don’t worry, if you’re looking to find some famous people, there are a few places where you can always find them in the Disney World parks!
When we’re not busy eating our way around Disney World (which we LOVE to do, obviously!), we’re also hopping on rides and enjoying the full Disney World experience, because, well, we’re fans, too!
Hey, Rey, Hey!
But we’ve noticed that some rides feel short, while others feel quite long. Some feel like they’re over in the blink of an eye (Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, we’re looking at you!), while others are great for a nap (okay, we’ll admit we’ve snoozed on PeopleMover). But which rides are actually the longest? We’re about to break it down for you!
Just when you think Disney World can’t get any busier…it does!
Magic Kingdom
We started the year with a FULL year’s worth of announcements in January alone, but there was still LOTS of Disney news in February and March. April was certainly no exception, with the long-awaited reopening of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and many transformations happening around the parks! And we’ve only seen more news released since then. Without further ado, let’s take a look at 16 new things that have happened in Disney World recently or are set to happen soon!
If you have plans to visit Disney World, you’ll need to know all about the Park Pass reservation system.
Hollywood Studios
To closely monitor their capacity, Disney is currently requiring a Park Pass reservation in addition to a valid theme park ticket for each day of your visit. We’ve got a guide for you with ALL our tips on doing that. But if you’re trying to get into Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you may notice…it books up WAY faster than the other parks (typically!). And it turns out, there’s a very good reason why!
Over the years that we’ve been in the parks, we’ve seen some pretty strange and wild things!
Disney World is full of weird things!
We’ve seen animatronic malfunctions, ride pieces replaced by plants, and tons of other random incidents. However, even these things aren’t the MOST ridiculous occurrences in the parks — today we’re sharing the list of the most bizarre disasters in Disney World!
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park have officially reopened at Disneyland Resort!
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
And today, after a FULL year of the parks being closed, we were finally able to get on some of our favorite Disneyland rides. But, the rules about outdoor lines, indoor ride time limits, and other theme park restrictions in California are a bit different than they are in Florida. So, what’s it really like to ride an attraction in Disneyland right now? Here’s what we experienced today!
We’re BACK inside Disneyland Park for the first time since March of LAST YEAR! We’ve been exploring the Happiest Place on Earth all day, and we must say, it’s like we never left!
Hello, Sleeping Beauty Castle. We missed you.
It’s been quite some time since we checked out Rise of the Resistance on the west coast, and so we wondered what changes were brought to this colossal E-ticket experience in Galaxy’s Edge.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
