food IS a theme park
UPDATE: Splash Mountain has reopened as of 2PM EST in Disney World.

However, sometimes things are not so perfect at Disney World — rides evacuate, power outages happen — but ride closures are typically solved pretty quickly. At the Magic Kingdom there was one wrinkle this morning: two MAJOR rides went down.

Ugh, she’s so pretty
Things have been pretty busy around the parks as we’re in the middle of the holiday season. And, it makes sense that they’re busy, because there is so much to do! From EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays to the giant gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian, it’s easy to have some holiday fun at Disney World. We like to keep up with how lines are looking in order to gauge how busy it is, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is one of those classic, must-do rides in Magic Kingdom.
Know what your must-dos are before you arrive.
In Disney World, it’s common for rides to close temporarily to undergo routine maintenance, and Big Thunder Mountain is no exception. In 2022, the ride will close for a short refurbishment, so take a look at what we’ve learned here.
There are refurbishments and construction projects taking place throughout Disney World.
Splash Mountain
We’re constantly on the lookout for closures and other things going on that could impact your trip so that you can be prepared. If you’re a big fan of Splash Mountain or hoping to complete the Magic Kingdom mountain challenge in early 2022, then we have important news you need to know about.
Hello from Walt Disney World!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! (Bonus points if you sang that in your head.)
Happy December, everyone! Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we’re really feeling the holiday cheer in the parks. We’ve seen awesome decorations, tried delicious foods, and even seen Santa Claus! But, have the festivities brought the crowds? We like to keep up with how lines are looking in order to gauge how busy it is, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Though Disney World can be a magical place, sometimes things don’t quite go to plan.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen rides shut down for technical issues, evacuated, or even closed due to smoke! Today, as we were walking through Magic Kingdom, we noticed that a popular ride was closed and being evacuated.
Planning for a Disney vacation can involve many different things, like being prepared for the weather, scheduling dining reservations, or mapping out your park days.
You will probably need to prepare for rain!
But, even if you plan everything down to the minute, there are some things that are simply out of your control. One of those things is if a ride is going to be open or not, as refurbishments do take place on different rides throughout the year. And, if you’re planning to be at Disneyland Resort in January of 2022, there are some new ride closures you should know about!

UPDATE: As of about 5:15PM, Splash Mountain was showing a 60 minute wait in My Disney Experience. Be sure to check for any future closures.
