food IS a theme park
If you’ve been to Disney World even once, you probably know that rain can literally happen at any given moment.
Rainy day at EPCOT
The weather can completely disrupt your day, close down rides, and probably leave you soaked and miserable by the end of the day (although we DO have some tips to prepare for the weather). But what if there is a good side to the rain? What if you could score a HUGE discount, but ONLY when it rains in Disney World?
Space Mountain is one of the most ICONIC classic Disney attractions. (And it’s also one of the most back-breaking rides in Tomorrowland — free chiropractic adjustment, anyone?)
Space Mountain in Disneyland
Space Mountain has experienced its share of highs and lows (pun intended because it’s a ROLLER COASTER 😂); it’s one of those attractions that’s been around for a LONG time. It initially opened in Disney World in March 1975 and later opened in Disneyland on May 27th, 1977. That means that Disneyland’s Space Mountain is turning 46 years old today, May 27th — and Disneyland is celebrating with a new souvenir and drink.
Summer is here and for many of us, that means vacation time! For many families, summer break is the perfect time to go to DISNEY WORLD, but you’ll need to stock up on a few things before you leave, right?
Are you going HERE for the summer?
We’ve already given you a good idea of everything you need to put on your packing list, but we’re also keeping an eye out for the best deals. So here are the five BEST Disney deals we recently found on Amazon to get you through your next Disney trip and more.
There is a LOT of construction going on in Disney World right now. Between the parks and the resorts, there are construction walls, cranes, and barriers all over the place!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
EPCOT has been under construction for a LONG time as it undergoes a huge transformation. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is building new DVC villas. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been doing some work, too, which impacted a walkway from the resort to Magic Kingdom. Now, we’ve got some good news!
Let’s face it — Walt Disney World is expensive. It’s no secret that your admission tickets to the theme parks will take up a huge chunk of your upcoming vacation budget. If you’ve recently priced admission for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and/or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you know why we’re focused today on helping each other find discounts!
Magic Kingdom!
It doesn’t matter if you are visiting Disney World for an extended trip or a few days, it’s still a costly vacation. Therefore, you should watch for Disney World Discounts offered to affinity groups, including Disney World Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Disney Visa Cardholders, Florida Residents, Military, and more!
Are you someone who needs that morning cup of coffee to get going in Disney World?
Joffrey’s in Magic Kingdom
Or maybe you need that afternoon java pick-me-up to get you through until park close? There are PLENTY of places to get coffee in Magic Kingdom, like Main Street Bakery (a Starbucks location), which almost ALWAYS has long lines. But if it’s Joffrey’s coffee you’re after, you can head to Tomorrowland to visit the Joffrey’s Revive stand. HOWEVER, there is often a long line there, too — so what can you do?
A Japanese brand recently set a world record for the most expensive ice cream!
Nothing like a good ‘ol Mickey Premium Bar!
What can we say, we LOVE a good ice cream treat! We’re constantly sampling different ice creams around Disney World, from the ultra-unique flavors at Salt & Straw in Disney Springs to the gigantic concoctions at Beaches & Cream. But even the most outrageous ice cream creations in Disney World have nothing on the price tag of the world’s most expensive ice cream!
You might think you’ve got Disney “figured out.” You’re a Disney expert, right? You’ve been dozens of times and can walk the parks with a blindfold on. But, whether you’re a new visitor or repeat guest, there are some NEW PROBLEMS you need to be prepared for.
Magic Kingdom
No, it’s not the Park Pass system (though that will be changing in 2024). And it’s not Mobile Order struggles (though some of the system has changed recently in a way that can make things easier). Today we’re tackling 2 other things that could throw you off if you’re not totally ready for them.
