food IS a theme park
After some MASSIVE jumps in wait times at Walt Disney World last week, things have stabilized a bit.
Frozen Ever After
Wait times at Walt Disney World were steady over the resort this week, though we did still see some incremental increases.
Disney World is no joke.

Sure, it’s tons of fun, and you can make incredible memories with your friends and family, but there’s a lot to do in (sometimes) very little time. And if you’ve been to Disney World in the past few years, or you’ve just followed along with our posts, you know Disney World is BUSY! And that means waiting in long lines is necessary to experience your favorite attractions. But BEFORE you hop in that long line — you need to pregame.
Waits were LONGER across the board at Walt Disney World this week.

After last week saw wait times go down pretty much across the board at Walt Disney World, this week saw that trend unfortunately head in the opposite direction. Major attractions at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom saw increases in their average wait times, some as high as 10 MINUTES!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to all sorts of beloved attractions — even some high-intensity thrill rides. The team here at DFB just can’t seem to agree on whether or not this park is filled with must-do experiences or must-SKIPS.

The rides here definitely aren’t for everyone, and I’d be lying if I said I enjoy all of them. There’s one ride in particular that everyone seems to LOVE, but I won’t go near it. Like, as soon as I see it looming in the distance I start shakin’ in my boots. Yes, I’m talking about Tower of Terror. EEK. I HATE this ride. And it’s yet another thing that me and my coworker, Sara, just can’t agree on. Today, we’re here to go to BATTLE over this superspooky ride.
Y’all, the moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived!

After weeks of seeing pretty high average wait times, the Spring Break crowds have finally left Disney World! Wait times have gone down significantly at every single park, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Along with that, the walkways are also a lot less crowded — so getting around the parks has been so much easier, too. We’re hoping that these low wait times are here to stay — at least for a little while. [Read more…]
Have you ever been at Disney World and something felt off?
Cinderella Castle
Yep! Us too! We go to Disney World every day and tend to notice if something is not right. Sometimes, rides malfunction or certain experiences are quietly removed. Here are seven things that Disney World hoped we would not notice.
We love reminiscing through old Disney World photos. Especially through old ride photos.
Photos bring back lots of memories!
It never gets old seeing your family and friends’ faces in photos they were not expecting at all! We are definitely looking at you, Tower of Terror, and Space Mountain.
Wait times have not been letting up at Disney World this week!

However, it might not be in the way you’re thinking. This week, the average wait times have remained fairly…consistent. Still long, but a lot of wait times only had changed by a few minutes. Of course, we still have some that jumped up a good amount — like a handful of the major E-ticket attractions. We’re still feeling some impacts of those Spring Break and Easter crowds, so we’re not too surprised. [Read more…]
Nothing bad can really happen to you at Disney World…right?
Tower of Terror
Disney World is famously known as The Most Magical Place on Earth and is generally considered to be one of the most family-friendly places anywhere. Despite the adorable meet-and-greets, nostalgic rides, tasty food, and wonderful entertainment, there’s still ONE THING at the Disney Parks that scares me to death!
It’s Spring Break in Disney World…which is a nightmare for a lot of people. But it doesn’t have to be!
