However, if you’re going to use Disney’s latest skip-the-line system at the “Most Magical Place on Earth”, there is a strategy you need to keep in mind when booking any of the three types of Lightning Lanes.
What’s better than ending a day at the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT with a viewing of each park’s respective fireworks show? How about watching them from a private boat while floating on the lagoon with snacks in hand and zero crowds?
Happily Ever After
Yes, it’s a real thing, and yes, it’s a splurge. But if you’re looking for something special (REALLY special), this $499 experience might be one of Disney World’s best-kept secrets.
Is Disney’s most recently opened international resort about to expand with a second theme park?
Shanghai Disneyland
Since before the Shanghai Disney Resort even opened back in 2016, Disney aficionados have speculated on whether a second theme park was coming to the first resort complex to bear the company’s name in mainland China (The Walt Disney Company actually ONLY owns 43 percent of the resort.

If you’re heading to EPCOT in 2026, make sure to familiarize yourself with the latest policy changes at Disney’s second park, as things have changed even in the last year.
Spaceship Earth
Whether it’s how to approach some of EPCOT’s most popular attractions that have been refurbished, some of the park’s most popular restaurants, or even its newest lounge.
When it comes to Disney World’s theme parks, there’s arguably none better known for its dining than EPCOT. From the cross-cultural restaurants of the World Showcase to the park’s annual International Food & Wine Festival, cuisine is arguably its calling card.
Galaxy Spritz
However, from our experience, the hardest reservation to get in the park isn’t at a restaurant set in one of World Showcase’s eleven themed international pavilions. In fact, it’s not set on Earth at all.
