food IS a theme park
In my many adventures around Disney World, I’ve seen and experienced some weird things.

I’ve tried bizarre foods, witnessed unfortunate ride malfunctions, and seen unusual behaviors from other travelers. But last year, I had a really weird thing happen to me at a Disney World hotel that I’d never experienced before.
These days, if you’re heading to Disney World, you should probably be prepared to use your phone a LOT.

From booking Lightning Lanes to making dining reservations to Mobile Ordering food and checking wait times, there are SO many tasks you’ll do on the My Disney Experience app each day of your trip. However, the app doesn’t always work as intended! Technology can be finicky, and this morning, many people are having some big vacation planning problems.
We spend a LOT of time on the Disney World website.

Checking park hours, looking for new menu items, searching for news on EPCOT festivals or ride refurbishments, or even just confirming details for articles we write. We’ve become pretty familiar with that Disney World URL! And during a recent glance at the website, we discovered something really weird.
It’s no secret that we’ve had our fair share of technical issues when dealing with the Disney World website.

We’ve seen the website get overloaded plenty of times in the past, including days when tickets drop for special events, when annual passes went back on sale, or when major discounts were released. And if you’re experiencing some technical difficulties with Disney World today, we’ve got the reason why!
Listen, we’ll all admit — the Disney World app has a few flaws.

We’ve seen the My Disney Experience app crash and cause issues multiple times in the past, whether that meant Mobile Order wasn’t working or that people ran into issues with pulling up their tickets and passes. But recently, Disney World had some pretty massive app problems that got in the way if you were doing…well, pretty much anything!
Many guests feel like they can’t do Disney World without a smartphone these days. It’s true that the My Disney Experience App can be your lifeline to the parks!

The app can help you check wait times, make dining reservations, purchase merchandise, and much more. That’s why when it isn’t working properly it’s not exactly a minor issue!
All right, folks, it’s time to get a little weird.
Weird things that aren’t beyond “Imagination,”…eh?
Disney World is a magical place but sometimes things can get, well, weird! Whether it was a CEO swaparoo or a bizarrely long line for a popcorn bucket, 2022 was full of weird, strange moments, so let’s go over the weirdest moments of 2022!
If you haven’t been watching for Disney news lately, you’ve got a LOT to catch up on!

You’ve spent HUNDREDS, and maybe even THOUSANDS, of dollars for a perfect Walt Disney World vacation, spent *days* securing your dining reservations, and spent time packing everything you think you might possibly need while at the parks.
