food IS a theme park
Disney Springs — under numerous names — has been one of the most popular spots on Disney property for going on 50 years, and is a go-to destination for guests whenever they visit the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”

However, if you’re planning to go on a weekend, there are some things you need to keep in mind.
One of the first decisions you have to make when planning a Disney World trip is choosing WHEN to visit!
Magic Kingdom
Throughout the year, there are some days, weeks, and months that are much busier than others, and if you want to have a more chill experience, you’ll want to try to avoid those crowded times. But how do you know what those days are? Well today, we’re breaking down the best and worst days to visit each Disney World park.
Have you ever spent hundreds of hours planning your Disney World trip only to get there and realize that you made more mistakes in the planning process than you can count on two hands?

We get it, it’s easy! You can end up hating the Disney hotel that you booked (and paid thousands of dollars to stay at), having to console your kiddos after taking them on a ride that you thought was well-suited for children, or end up walking around the parks with a hangry family after you come to find that the next mobile order window isn’t for another three hours. But, all these mistakes are avoidable and we’re going to let you in on all our little tips and secrets that will ensure you enjoy your visit to Disney Springs!
Heads up, brunch fans (and that includes us)!
Brunch is the best meal of the day…
You know we love a good brunch option in Disney World. And Homecomin’ has just updated their hours, meaning we have even more time to brunch it up at this spot!
Although Disney World reopened in the summer, there are still many dining locations that remain closed.

However, we’ve slowly seen dining locations reopening, including Cinderella’s Royal Table, Chefs de France, along with others.
If you’re headed to one of the Disney World theme parks in October, you’ll have a little bit more time to enjoy the magic at some of the parks during the weekends.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Not too long ago, Disney extended theme park hours on the weekends through October 12th, and now we’re seeing those extended hours applied to more weekends in October.
After Disney World’s reopening, we slowly began to see weekend park pass availability beginning to fill up for Annual Passholders on a regular basis, particularly with Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is still a HUGE draw.)
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
And most recently, we noticed that weekends in October were beginning to fill up for Annual Passholders.
It seems like Disney World is getting a lot busier on weekends. We expected it on holiday weekends like Labor Day for example, but it looks like that’s extended into the rest of the year, too.
Hollywood Studios
Since the theme parks reopened, Annual Passholders (and other guests) have had to snag a Disney Park Pass reservations before entering the park. Reservations, especially for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been filling up FAST. Thus meaning APs are having to book weeks, and sometimes months in advance if they’re looking to visit Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been quite the popular spot to be this summer!
Rey and Chewbacca at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
A lot of folks have been flocking to here to experience Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Rise of the Resistance as well as Toy Story Land attractions like Slinky Dog Dash!
