food IS a theme park
It’s my job to go to the Disney World parks, and for probably 70% of the year, it’s pretty hot.

And the weather? It can have a pretty big effect on how your mood swings during a day in the theme parks. That’s why it’s important to take breaks and keep cool! I’m a certified expert in that area, and today I’m sharing my list of places where I go in Magic Kingdom when it’s just TOO. DANG. HOT.
Celebrities are just like us — well, maybe not EXACTLY like us, but we do have something in common with them: we all love Disney World.

That’s why we’re always spotting celebrities in the parks. Neil Patrick Harris is such a Disney World regular that he has a table at his favorite bar in EPCOT. Oscar-winner Charlize Theron also recently graced Disney World with her presence. Terry Crews recently visited EPCOT to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — a ride he’s actually part of! Well, now, a huge pop star just visited Disney World, and it looks like she had a great time!
It’s the day AFTER Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration ended, and SO MUCH has already changed in the parks.

We’ve seen new park maps at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. There’s a new Annual Passholder card available. There’s been a costume change at a Magic Kingdom show. Now, Mickey Mouse HIMSELF has changed.
You wouldn’t believe how much can happen at Disney World in just a few days!

There’s just something special about meeting your favorite character in Disney World.

And of course it’s super special to meet Mickey (and hug him!), the mouse who started it all. Mickey meets guests in all four parks in Disney World, and now Minnie has joined him at his meeting spot in Magic Kingdom!
Traditional meet and greets have returned to Disney World!

That’s right! You can now meet and greet — and HUG — many characters in the parks again. We’re also seeing more meet and greets return every day — most recently, Mickey and Minnie started greeting guests again at Adventurer’s Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Now, Minnie will be joining Mickey in another spot to greet guests!

Visiting Disney World soon? Want to meet some of your favorite characters?
Magic Kingdom
Meet-and-greets aren’t quite back to “normal” yet in the Most Magical Place on Earth but you can still say “hello” and snap a selfie with some princesses, the main mouse, and more.

Last fall, Disney Genie and Genie+ launched in Disney World, providing guests with more ways to plan their days in the parks. While Disney Genie is a complimentary service located within My Disney Experience, Genie+ is the new paid version of what used to be FastPass+, costing $15 per guest, per day.

When it first launched, purchasing Genie+ included the ability to book a return time to most rides and attractions. But starting this week, additional guest experiences will be available for booking.
