There are SO many benefits to using Disney gift cards during your vacation. Gift cards are great to use during EPCOT festivals, like the Festival of the Arts (happening now!), and many people use them to help stick to a food or souvenir budget.
Gift cards are so handy in Disney World!
Yes, we know you still have to pay for the gift cards ahead of time, but when you’re using them in the parks, it feels like you’re using free money! Speaking of free money, there’s a special deal happening with Best Buy right now that will help you SAVE money on a Disney gift card!
Have you ever had a ride you were on in Disney World break down? Or did you notice something that was very off during the ride, like Donald Duck being replaced by a plant?
Remember Plant Donald?
Ride malfunctions happen in Disney World sometimes, and can either be funny things to laugh at or a unique evacuation experience. Many of us have been stopped on a ride for a few moments at some point, but there have been more extreme instances! And then, there are the rides that seem to regularly have issues. So, we’re taking a look at the most infamous Disney World ride malfunctions!
Let’s be honest, the airline industry can feel a little confusing. Even a well-seasoned traveler can’t fully predict what American Airlines has planned, or what Southwest Airlines will announce. Airplane travel keeps us on our toes, that’s for sure!
Orlando International Airport
Speaking of American Airlines, it seems like flights are being cut in 2022. Let’s take a look at what’s going on!
Nothing says “Disney” quite like a princess! While Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom is sort of the Disney princess headquarters, there are actually a LOT of other places you can meet Disney royalty! But, for the sake of efficiency (and maximum excitement), what if you want to meet ALL the princesses at once?
Say hi to Eugene for us!
Currently, if you want to see multiple princesses in one convenient location, you can do so in a couple different ways. As you’ll quickly find out, though, there’s one option that has a major advantage, because it’s FREE (besides the cost of a park ticket, of course)! We love free!
IMPORTANT NOTE!! Major changes are being made to the Genie+ system in Disney World starting July 24th, 2024. This post reflects the current Genie+ system that will remain in place through July 23rd, 2024. For our full page of information about the CHANGES coming to the system (which will go into effect on July 24th, 2024), click here. You can also click here to see our breakdown of Disney World’s NEW Lightning Lane System in Under 1,000 Words.
In 2021, the free FastPass+ system was officially discontinued and replaced by the Disney Genie system — specifically the paid Disney Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (IAS) options at both Disney World and Disneyland Resort.

The big announcement came with enough information to make many people confused and left many with a lot of questions about the new system. The system has been in place in Disney World and Disneyland for a few years now, and we’ve tested it out in both spots to bring you our best tips and tricks. But it’s still a HUGE change with a bit of a learning curve and MORE changes are coming soon. Confused about how to use Genie+ in the parks? Want to learn about the changes coming to Genie+ soon? We’ve got you covered.
