food IS a theme park
We learned back in February that LEVEL99 will likely be coming to Disney Springs to replace the former NBA Experience, which closed its doors in March 2020 during the pandemic and never reopened.
Future home of LEVEL99
We think LEVEL99 will be a great addition to Disney Springs, however, there is just one glaring problem — we haven’t heard anything about it in MONTHS!
Construction is underway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! A brand-new land will be making its way to the theme park along with a few re-themes and re-imagining.
Hollywood Studios
Monsters, Inc. Land is being added to the park, while Animation Courtyard is getting a little face-lift. Star Wars Launch Bay is going away with a new attraction taking its place.

Some are even still only on preorder, but they are already popular!
The Super Mario Kart series was launched in 1992 on the Super Nintendo (SNES). Since then, it has only gained in popularity with gaming fans of all ages.

A while back, we learned that Disney was building a new World of Frozen land similar to the ones in Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.

This new World of Frozen land will open in Disneyland Paris along with the rebranding of the park Walt Disney Studios to Disney Adventure Park. The park is being updated to include new themed lands around Adventure Bay, which will act as a “unique entertainment stage with a 360-degree viewing area” with new water-based entertainment. So when can you expect to enjoy the brand-new Frozen attractions? We recently found out!
Disney fans are not limited by age. We know people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and older who love going to the Disney World parks, with or without kids.
Magic Kingdom
If you’re a 50-something year old visiting Magic Kingdom, whether it’s your first visit or 100th, there are probably a few things you avoid that other guests really enjoy doing. As you gain life experience, some rides are just not great anymore. We polled our team (which includes a few individuals in their 50s) and came up with these nine rides older Disney Adults may refuse to ride in Magic Kingdom.
If you’re 50 or older and are still loving these rides, we’re so happy for you! Keep on enjoying what you love. For those of us who just don’t want to end up with an aching back, motion sickness, or the like, keep reading to find out which rides to avoid.
Disney World offers free transportation between the hotels, parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. It’s a great perk of staying at a Disney World hotel!
EPCOT Bus Depot
While it’s nice to have free transportation to practically anywhere you need to go within Disney World, it’s certainly not without it’s faults. There are certainly a few problems with Disney World transportation, and we’re going through five of them that make us VERY mad. But don’t worry, we’ll give you a few tips to avoid these issues, too.
Are you heading to Magic Kingdom soon? It’s an iconic park with many classic rides that you won’t want to miss on your next Disney World vacation.
Magic Kingdom
Many people rope drop this park, meaning they get there before it officially opens so they can hit the rides immediately when they open. This technique can help guests get on high-demand rides before the lines get really long. However, there are still rides you’ll want to avoid if you plan to rope drop Magic Kingdom.
You might be familiar with the nuanced Disney “language.” If you know what WDW, MK, DAK, DHS, SDMT, and BTMR all mean, then you might be a Disney Adult. But while we Disney fans have our own language when referring to the Disney Parks, Cast Members also have their own secret language via codes.
Magic Kingdom Cast Member
Certain codes mean certain things that may affect your experience. We have a few previous Cast Members on our team who have filled us in on what a code 101 means, and we’re breaking it down for you and the things you should NEVER do when Disney World goes “101.”
