food IS a theme park
Since younger Disney fans often receive the majority of focus, especially online, it can sometimes be somewhat easy to forget that the company and it cross-generation appeal reaches across the age spectrum.

Recently, we reached out to Disney fans in their 40s, 50s, and 60s asked simply, “What’s one Disney trend that you HATE??” Unsurprisingly, our post received a ton of feedback from “older” Disney fans, many of whom weren’t shy about sharing their opinions.
The Magic Kingdom’s latest exclusive Disney Vacation Club Lounge — McKim’s Mile House — is proving to be one of the most popular membership lounges added in years. In fact, the location’s operating hours have been expanded to 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM each day, two hours longer than its previous 6:00 PM closure time.

Located in the space that had long been occupied by the Frontierland Shooting Gallery, McKim’s offers a cozy spot for Members to recharge.

It’s no secret that there are a lot of hotel options near Walt Disney World. From Disney’s own 20+ hotels, to third-party hotels on Disney Property (the Swan and Dolphin Resorts, the Four Seasons), Good Neighbor Hotels in the Disney Springs area, and our focus today: Flamingo Crossings.

Originally opened back in 2021 after years of delays, Flamingo Crossings is a Disney-developed “third-party” area located on land owned by Disney but technically outside of Disney’s gates. The land is home to businesses, housing used by Disney College Program members, and several hotels that provide access to the resort and its theme parks.
Disney World is in the midst of a massive transformation, with massive construction projects in the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom all set to open in the next few years. However, all of the new attractions and IP coming to the parks could lead to the return of a controversial Disney system: Virtual Queues.

First introduced in the late 2010s, the virtual queue system was introduced as a way to manage crowds on high-demand new attractions. Instead of standing in line for hours, guests would snag a boarding pass through the My Disney Experience app at specific times (usually 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM) and be called back to ride at a designated time later in the day.
When tourists are planning trips to the Orlando area, the first question many face is whether to visit Walt Disney World or the Universal Orlando Resort. While there are a litany of reasons to visit both world-class resorts, sometimes the decision can come down simply to dates.
Universal Studios
Whether it’s due to what Universal is offering, or simply what some guests may wish to avoid at Disney World, these are the dates that many will be looking at Universal Orlando for their theme park fun.
Many guests staying at Walt Disney World hotels are running into issues regarding refrigerators.
Beverage Cooler
See, many Disney World hotels no longer have real refrigerators, being equipped instead with beverage coolers. These beverage coolers run at about 40 degrees, making them cool enough for drinks, but not cold enough to safely store items like medications, breastmilk, formula, or most refrigerated food items. However, there is something you can do.
