Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation

The happy haunts are preparing to disappear from two Disney parks. Haunted Mansion has spent decades balancing humor with horror. Guests board Doom Buggies before passing a rattling coffin, Madame Leota’s séance, transparent ballroom dancers, and a graveyard occupied by some of Disney’s most enthusiastic ghosts. The attraction has several versions worldwide, but no two are identical. Disneyland’s original resembles ...

A routine summer afternoon at SeaWorld came to an abrupt halt yesterday. SeaWorld San Diego is part marine-life park and part thrill destination, pairing orca and dolphin presentations with roller coasters including Emperor, Electric Eel, Manta, and Arctic Rescue. Its extended summer calendar also keeps guests inside the Mission Bay park well into the evening. The 2026 season has included ...

Disney has pulled a much-hyped Muppets addition from Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with cast members claiming that it is unclear when – or if – it will return. Earlier this year, Disney debuted Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at the park. The reimagined attraction replaced Aerosmith with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the Electric Mayhem, giving the high-speed indoor coaster a ...

One of EPCOT’s most elaborate rooftops is disappearing piece by piece. World Showcase has always relied on architecture as much as attractions. Its 11 country pavilions encircle a 1.3-mile promenade, using restaurants, shops, entertainment, and carefully recreated landmarks to transport guests without leaving Walt Disney World.

Disney has added a $22 paywall for those hoping to secure the best view of a popular parade, starting September 16. Multiple paywalls and upcharges have arrived at Disney parks in recent years. Free FastPass was replaced by paid Lightning Lane access, while Walt Disney World’s Premier Pass can cost roughly $129 to $449 per person for one-time entry to ...

Disney has found another part of the park day to monetize. Paid upgrades have become increasingly common across Disney’s global theme parks. Free FastPass has disappeared from the U.S. resorts, replaced by Lightning Lane products that charge guests for shorter waits and, in some cases, greater flexibility. Entertainment has followed a similar path. Disney sells dessert parties with reserved fireworks ...

Disneyland Paris is preparing to remove one of its daytime entertainment offerings. Parades have long played a major role at Disney theme parks, giving guests the chance to see characters, dancers, themed floats, and live performers without joining an attraction queue. Productions currently operating across Disney resorts include Festival of Fantasy at Magic Kingdom, Harmony in Color at Tokyo Disneyland, ...

Disney may specialize in crafting magic, but one element beyond Mickey’s control is the unpredictability of guests – particularly when some bring more mischief than magic. Incidents at Disney parks range from strange to scandalous, often driven by visitor behavior rather than anything Disney itself orchestrated. And as guests reveal, a troubling trend seems to be taking hold, especially at ...

Everyone knows the basic rules of visiting Disney parks. Don’t bring in weapons, don’t antagonize or disrespect cast members, and don’t try to get around buying park tickets if you don’t want to end up with a polite trespass notice from The Walt Disney Company. But behind the standard dos-and-don’ts lie some surprising rules that visitors might not expect. From ...

For some guests, the greatest attraction at EPCOT isn’t Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Soarin’, Spaceship Earth, or Frozen Ever After – it’s Drinking Around the World. An informal challenge, the idea behind Drinking Around the World is that you, well, drink. Participants start at one end of World Showcase before working their way around and drinking a different alcoholic beverage from ...
