An Attraction FINALLY Reopened in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

By 1 Comment

Sometimes, we need an outlet for our energy. Let’s be honest, we all feel a little extra peppy and excited when we first enter the Disney World parks, and our energy tends to deplete as the day goes on — those Disney parks tire us out!

The jungle trek is a hidden gem!

If you’re looking for a spot to take your little ones to burn a little energy after devouring a bag of cotton candy, we’ve got some GREAT news for you, parents!

By Leave a Comment

It’s a good thing that those tins of Christmas cookies have a weirdly long shelf life (what’s up with that, by the way?), because it turns out that a little extra holiday cheer found its way to the month of June!

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade

We’ve seen a flurry of holiday news lately in the Disney parks, including a look at the special treats and merchandise coming soon, but hidden within those festive announcements was ANOTHER piece of information.

Here’s Why Splash Mountain Isn’t Closing in Tokyo

By 5 Comments

We’ve seen Disney attractions grow, change, and evolve over time. Some attractions have been completely re-themed, while others have received smaller updates. From total tear-downs to teenie tiny changes, the Disney parks are a constant work-in-progress; and we have a feeling that’s exactly what Walt Disney wanted for his parks. Most recently, Disney announced that Splash Mountain is being reimagined as a NEW attraction known as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, based on The Princess and the Frog.

Splash Mountain

In January 2023, Splash Mountain closed in Disney World, and construction is already underway for the new attraction. Then a few short months later, Disneyland’s Splash Mountain also closed down for good. You may have thought that these closures marked the official end of Splash Mountain, but there’s still one place where you can ride Splash Mountain. Let’s talk about it.

By Leave a Comment

When the sun goes down and the signs around Main Street, U.S.A. light up, the Magic Kingdom transforms as guests prepare for the Happily Ever After nighttime spectacular. The show is extremely popular, so if you plan to watch it on Main Street, be prepared to stand in a huge crowd.

How Be Our Guest Restaurant Lunch Slowly Declined From Perfect to Pathetic

By 64 Comments

Okay, you may have read that title and thought, “Ouch!” — seems a little harsh, no? But lately, “Be our guest” has taken on a whole new meaning; Disney is practically begging people to be their guests and dine at the Beauty and the Beast-inspired restaurant.

Be Our Guest

The truth is, Be Our Guest Restaurant was once one of the hardest reservations to get in Disney World. Now, most days, it’s pretty easy to get a table at Be Our Guest. Why? Well, in the words of Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts, “There’s something there that wasn’t there before.”
