Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. This year, for example, wait times for late October were low, then JUMPED in early November. As we get closer and closer to Christmas, we expect those wait times to increase even more. Is this the calm before the storm?
Walt Disney World is in the midst of a period of evolution, with new attractions, refreshed experiences, and even full lands coming to the resort over the next decade. However, to reach that presumably bright future, the resort has a present full of construction.
In my 30+ years visiting the Walt Disney World Resort, I’m not sure I remember a period with quite as much concurrent construction as what’s happening right now. Three of the resort’s theme parks have massive construction projects going on — including a huge site in the dead-center of the Magic Kingdom — while several of Disney’s hotels are also in the midst of construction and refurbishment projects of their own.
Amazon’s Black Friday sale is here, and the site is offering massive savings… even on products that rarely go on sale!
Case in point: You can find STANLEY Tumblers — REAL STANLEY TUMBLERS — on sale RIGHT NOW!
Over the course of the last 70 years, Disney has opened 12 theme parks across the world, from Anaheim’s original Disneyland all the way to the modern marvel that is Shanghai Disneyland.
Spread across the 6 resorts that house those 12 parks, Disney’s Imagineers have crafted hundreds of attractions, rides, and experiences, and over the years, we here at DFB have been lucky enough to see them all. Suffice to say, it’s tough to surprise us at a Disney park… tough, but not impossible.
We recently stopped by one of the premier snack spots in World Showcase — Kringla Bakeri og Kafe in the park’s Norway Pavilion — to check on one of EPCOT’s best-known snacks.
The Norwegian Kringla has been such an integral part of the Norway pavilion for decades, so much so that the bakery is actually NAMED after it. While the party has always remained solid, we’d felt it lost a bit of its shine recently. Was that still the case on our last visit? Let’s find out!
Walt Disney World offers a wide variety of attractions over its four theme parks, with rides for everyone from young children to thrill seekers to grandparents. Hollywood Studios alone features rides that fit into all these categories. However, just because Disney has different rides for every potential guest doesn’t mean that every ride is for every potential guest.
In my 30+ years visiting Disney World, my own body has started reacting differently to different rides, to the point where I’ve had to change some of my every visit list, especially when it comes to rides, and I’m only in my late 30s. How about Walt Disney World guests in their 50s? Which Hollywood Studios rides do some in that age range tend to skip? Well, this is what our anecdotal research shows!
Each week, we scour Amazon to find the latest Disney merchandise and steepest Disney deals the massive e-tailer has to offer.
As the end of the year barrels ever closer, we’ve assembled a varied list of finds, from games and holiday favorites to household goods and even a perfect Disney World t-shirt, all of which are available on Amazon RIGHT NOW!
Thanks to the combination of Holiday celebrations and school breaks, December is one of the busiest months of the year at Walt Disney World. If you’re planning on being one of the millions visiting the “Most Magical Place on Earth” this coming December, there are certain things you’ll NEED to know.
In the 30+ years I’ve been visiting Walt Disney World, December might be my favorite time of the year to visit, thanks to the copious amounts of holiday decorations, snacks, and general feelings of jolliness that permeate the resort. However, to make the best of visiting during the month, there are certain things to keep in mind.
As the Magic Kingdom prepares to turn 55 in October of 2026, the park is set to have a game-changing year that will see not one, not two, but three classic attractions updated for a new generation of guests, all while two massive new lands rise at the back of the park.
Over the course of my 30+ years visiting Disney theme parks, I’ve seen the Magic Kingdom transform a great deal. However, few years match 2025, which saw the closure of the entire Rivers of America. With that iconic opening day area closed, what will 2026 bring? Well, let’s find out.
