food IS a theme park
It’s spring break season and there is a lot happening at Disney World!
Crowds
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, there are new treats to try, the 50th anniversary is ending soon, and TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening in less than a month! So with all of this excitement and the spring break crowds heading to the parks, what do the wait times look like right now?
When it comes to deciding where to stay on your Disneyland trip, there are plenty of options!

You could stay at the Pixar Place Hotel (formerly known as the Paradise Pier Hotel) if you want a touch of Pixar in your hotel. The Grand Californian gives you direct access to Disney California Adventure if you want to be really close to the action. Then there’s the Disneyland Hotel which is one of the most iconic Disney hotels — and we’ve got some news about a new addition to this classic resort!
Disney executives have been in the news since Bob Iger returned to Disney as CEO in November 2022.

One of these executives is Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, who has commented on many of Disney’s recent changes. He shared that Disney is “constantly adapting” its business to create a “better experience for guests, and to build a foundation so we can introduce new stories and experiences in the future.” It looks like D’Amaro wants to get a closer look at the guest experience because we spotted him in Magic Kingdom!
When is the BEST time to go to Disney World?!

Well, that answer totally depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during summer or spring break. Do you want to be in the crowds on the opening day of TRON Lightcycle / Run? Prepare for busy parks. If you are someone who is seeking lower crowds and wait times on a Disney World trip, right now might be the best time to visit Disney World!
