food IS a theme park
Even in the world’s most magical place, things can still go wrong.
Space Mountain
We’ve seen everything from canceled shows to ride malfunctions to animatronics being completely off. We’ve experienced our share of ride closures and evacuations. Today, though, we got to see something a little different: while Space Mountain was down, we saw what it looks like with the lights on.
It’s not uncommon for rides to randomly close in the Disney parks!
Magic Kingdom
Typically, when this happens, there’s a pretty valid reason. We often see outdoor attractions close in inclement weather, rides shut down for refurbishments, or even the occasional technical difficulties. But, there’s one Magic Kingdom ride that seems to be closed more often than many others!
No matter how much you plan for your Disney World vacation, things can still go wrong that you have no control over.

The weather can shut down rides, the crowds can be bonkers, or the snack you’ve been wanting to try for weeks isn’t available any more. That’s when you just gotta deal with the cards you’re dealt and readjust! Because even Disney has technical difficulties from time to time, which is what shut down one show in the parks today.
If you’re planning on visiting Disney World soon, odds are you’ll use some form of technology while there.

Maybe you’ll use your phone to make Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection passes. Maybe you’ll use a mobile device to place a mobile order. Or maybe you’ll use your MagicBand (and the technology built into that) to scan yourself into the parks and pay for items during your stay. Well, today some of Disney’s various forms of technologies seem to be experiencing issues, and it’s a very good reminder of what you need to be prepared for in the future.
It’s another beautiful day in Walt Disney World!

And, if you’re hoping to dine at any of the popular Table Service restaurants in the parks or resorts, you probably know how important it is to book your dining reservations early. But, today guests looking to book their dining reservations may have some difficulties.
In recent years, especially since the parks reopened in the summer of 2020, technology has become a crucial part of the Disney World experience. From planning your vacation to checking into your hotel room to ordering food and beyond, there’s a variety of times when you’ll be relying on technology to make sure your trip is a success.
