food IS a theme park

Pirates of the Caribbean
And one surefire way to make rides even more fun is by comparing them to each other and asking our readers to choose their faves!

When it comes to unexpected things in Disney World, this past week was a doozy.
Cinderella’s Castle
There were evacuations, new merchandise policies, finger scans, menu changes, and more! Here are six unexpected things that happened in Disney World this week.
UPDATE: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is back up and running again as of 4 PM EST 8/25/21.
Sometimes things don’t go according to plan in Disney World.
Weather closes locations

Since Disney World reopened last summer, pre-shows were removed from rides as a safety precaution.
Where’s Hondo?!
Since the reopening, many pre-shows have been unavailable. But as restrictions have been changing around Disney, we’ve started to see the return of some pre-shows! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith had the band back in the recording studio, Haunted Mansion’s room is stretching again, and Dinosaur saw the return of Dr. Seeker. And now, we found another awesome pre-show reopen in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and so is a missing animatronic!
From our first drop on Tower of Terror to a life-sized Carnosaurus trying to eat us on Dinosaur, Disney has found more ways to freak us out than we would’ve originally expected.
Tower of Terror
For parents with younger children, traumatizing little ones through the power of Disney magic during a family vacation might not be part of the game plan. They may try to avoid scary-ish rides altogether, sticking with tamer rides that provide “a world of laughter” or “happy little thoughts.” But however hard you might try to protect your child from the darker side of Disney, there are some ride scares you might not be able to avoid — and some you may not have expected to scare younger ones, at all.
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned on Disney World rides.
Galaxy’s Edge
Whether that’s an unexpected closure, a malfunctioning animatronic, or an evacuation, there’s bound to be a hiccup every now and then! And today, we noticed something was a little off on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Flying on the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is a thrilling experience for many Star Wars fans!

And now you can have a similar experience at home thanks to a new feature on the Portal from Facebook!
