food IS a theme park
Even if you HATE the Disney World app, it has a few features that will make your trip significantly easier.
Cinderella Castle
Long gone are the days where you had to physically walk to a ride to see its wait time — you can simply check My Disney Experience. You can also use it to join virtual queues and view maps. But one of our favorite features? Mobile Order!
When it comes to Mobile Order, we might be the Unofficial GOATs!
Mobile Order
We were using Mobile Order through the My Disney Experience app long before it was made really popular during the pandemic era, and over the years, we’ve learned quite a few tips and tricks. We’ve cracked the code on Mobile Order and we want you to Mobile Order like a pro. That’s why we’re sharing the Mobile Order tips and tricks we’ve gathered over the years.
You can prepare all you’d like for your Disney World vacation before it starts, but keeping up with what’s going on during it is just as important.
Magic Kingdom
Using Disney World’s My Disney Experience App is perfect for that. It can give you real-time updates on wait times, ride closures, and so much more, which is why we recommend everyone in your party (or at least one person) has it downloaded and connected to your Disney account before your trip begins. Here are our favorite NEW features on the app we need to make sure you know about!
The easiest way to upgrade your Disney World vacation is by staying at a hotel on property!
Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club
It’s hard to beat free transportation to the parks, delectable eateries, stellar shopping, entertainment, and more. But, if you’re getting ready to head out on your next Disney World trip, make sure you’re not making these check-in mistakes at your hotel!
The best part of visiting Disney World and Disneyland is seeing ALL the characters. There are meet and greets, character dining experiences, roaming characters, rare characters, and more.
EPCOT
Of course, you never know exactly WHO you’ll run into in the parks, but there’s one character we’ve been anticipating — Asha from Disney’s new movie, Wish! Disney announced a while back that she would be coming to meet at EPCOT and Disneyland, and now we have some exciting news about her arrival.
EPCOT’s massive transformation is almost complete!
EPCOT
Disney shared that the overhaul would be complete by December 2023, and we’ve already seen some major changes over the last few months. Most notably — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has officially opened today. Along with this new attraction opening, Disney released a NEW map for the park — come check it out!
Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but sometimes things are a little less than magical.

Rides temporarily close. Refurbishments get scheduled. Transportation problems happen. Sometimes, though, it’s Disney’s technology that fails us, which seems to be the issue with the My Disney Experience app this morning. We want to give you a heads up if you’re planning on using Genie+ in Disney World today.
If you have a Disney vacation coming up, you know the excitement leading up to it is real!
Cinderella Castle
Mickey ice cream bars, Cinderella Castle, Mickey hugs?! Between planning out our park outfits, booking our Advanced Dining Reservations, and researching Genie+, we have a hard time focusing on anything else in the days leading up to our trip. Now, Disney is helping us get ready for our upcoming stays in a fun new way — right in the My Disney Experience app!
If you’ve ever been frustrated with Genie+ in Disney World, just know you’re not alone!

The skip-the-line system has been slightly controversial among guests, with some complaining that it’s complicated to use. The good news is that it can often help you save time in the parks by allowing you to skip some of the long waits. However, for the past few days, the complications might be outweighing the benefits.
Heading to Disney World in the near future?
Cinderella Castle
It’s a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected. Transportation can get delayed, rides can shut down because of technical difficulties, and technology can malfunction. Occasionally, we’ve seen the My Disney Experience app have some trouble, and this week it seems to be struggling again.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
