food IS a theme park
After some MASSIVE jumps in wait times at Walt Disney World last week, things have stabilized a bit.
Frozen Ever After
Wait times at Walt Disney World were steady over the resort this week, though we did still see some incremental increases.
A lot of amazing things are coming soon to Disney Parks all over the world.
Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland
Disneyland Paris will soon have its own version of a Frozen land, similar to the one in Hong Kong Disneyland. Shanghai Disney Resort just got an entire new land dedicated to Zootopia. Tokyo DisneySea is getting a BIG expansion called Fantasy Springs. While we’re on the subject of Tokyo Disney, some fun new events are coming to the resort this summer!
Waits were LONGER across the board at Walt Disney World this week.
The Tree of Life
After last week saw wait times go down pretty much across the board at Walt Disney World, this week saw that trend unfortunately head in the opposite direction. Major attractions at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom saw increases in their average wait times, some as high as 10 MINUTES!
We go to Disney World every day, and while we are there, we hear some pretty crazy things.
Cinderella Castle
As Disney World experts, we often overhear people make claims about Disney World that are so painfully untrue. While we know that we know more about Disney than the average person, when we hear people be so confident in their incorrect statements about Disney World, we can’t help but raise an eyebrow or laugh a little to ourselves. Here are the top seven things that our reporters have heard people say about Disney World with so much confidence but were ultimately wrong.
Who’s going to be one of the first to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World this summer? The actual family who inspired the Princess and the Frog story!

Disney has made no secret of the fact that hit animated film The Princess and the Frog is based on New Orleans restaurant royalty Chef Leah Chase, the inspiration behind Tiana herself. And Disney just surprised her family with a huge honor!

The Princess and the Frog-themed ride is replacing Splash Mountain at both Disney World and Disneyland Resort, and construction is well underway on both coasts. As part of the updates, gift shops near the ride will be getting some big changes.
Y’all, the moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived!
Cinderella Castle
After weeks of seeing pretty high average wait times, the Spring Break crowds have finally left Disney World! Wait times have gone down significantly at every single park, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Along with that, the walkways are also a lot less crowded — so getting around the parks has been so much easier, too. We’re hoping that these low wait times are here to stay — at least for a little while. [Read more…]
We love reminiscing through old Disney World photos. Especially through old ride photos.
Photos bring back lots of memories!
It never gets old seeing your family and friends’ faces in photos they were not expecting at all! We are definitely looking at you, Tower of Terror, and Space Mountain.
Wait times have not been letting up at Disney World this week!
Fight of Passage Lightning Lane
However, it might not be in the way you’re thinking. This week, the average wait times have remained fairly…consistent. Still long, but a lot of wait times only had changed by a few minutes. Of course, we still have some that jumped up a good amount — like a handful of the major E-ticket attractions. We’re still feeling some impacts of those Spring Break and Easter crowds, so we’re not too surprised. [Read more…]
