If that doesn’t bring back memories, you must not have grown up as a Disney Channel kid. Disney Channel raised some of us and turned us into the very Disney Adults you see today. Disneyland is hosting Disney Channel Nite, where you get to celebrate Disney Channel and all the throwbacks throughout Disneyland, and they just dropped a new look at the eats, and y’all, if you weren’t planning on getting tickets before, you definitely should be now!
There’s no denying the appeal of visiting Disney World during a special time of the year.

From incredible pools to convenient perks, staying on property has always been part of what makes a Disney vacation so special. But lately, something has changed, and not for the better. Disney hotels go through refurbishments every year, but there’s one new trend that has taken over as rooms get refurbished.
Disney World is enormous. It is a city wearing mouse ears. It is a vacation destination built on snacks, logistics, and a frankly alarming number of tiny details most people walk right past while speed-walking to their next Lightning Lane.

And sure, plenty of Disney fans know the usual trivia. Hidden Mickeys. Secret menus. Forced perspective. The whole “yes, I do know where the best bathroom in EPCOT is, thank you for asking” energy. But even if you’ve been to Disney World a bunch, there are still some weird, wonderful, wildly specific details hiding in plain sight. Some are real Imagineering flexes. Some are backstage-level oddities. And a couple are legends that Disney fans refuse to let die, because honestly? They’re too good.
Here are the Disney World secrets, details, and bits of delicious park lore that even frequent visitors still miss.
In case you forgot, Disney is building a theme park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. While Disney hasn’t shared many details, the Chief Executive Officer of Miral, the company working with Disney to build the park, has shared an update.

Nothing can ruin my trip to Disney World more than sitting in the middle of a ride and realizing this space is just too dang small. I’ll be vibing and enjoying myself when all of a sudden, I can’t find the exit, there are people everywhere, and the walls are caving in. Yeah, not really magical in my opinion.

Because of my distaste for small spaces at Disney World, I’ve made a list of rides or attractions I just won’t do because of them. Does it mean I never do them? No, but I come prepared with headphones, a book, and plenty of anxiety medications. So if you’re like me, here are some rides I would avoid in Disney World.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
