Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation

A few days ago, we covered a transportation perk disappearing at two of Walt Disney World’s most popular resorts. That story is worth revisiting, because the news this time is good. Free transportation is one of the biggest advantages of staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Every property offers bus service to the parks and Disney Springs, but a handful ...

For thirteen days, one of Disneyland’s most famous attractions sat behind scrims with nobody going in. That is not an unusual sight in New Orleans Square this time of year. Haunted Mansion is not a ride that closes casually, and when it does, the walkway past it feels noticeably emptier. Guests visiting between August 8 and August 20 found no ...

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event wrapped up in Anaheim last weekend, and Sunday brought the moment a lot of attendees look forward to most. The Disney Legends ceremony is the company’s highest individual honor. Performers, Imagineers, executives, and creatives get recognized for work that shaped Disney across decades. It is the closest thing the company has to a hall ...

Back in July, we covered a Disney announcement that did not fit the usual parks-and-rides mold. The Walt Disney Company and The Kraft Heinz Company announced a long-term, multi-year partnership bringing ten Kraft Heinz brands to Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line sailings across North America. HEINZ ketchup. Philadelphia cream cheese. Kraft Mac & Cheese. At the ...

A few days ago we covered Disney expanding its Center for Living Well network with three new locations for cast members, and we framed it as a genuine positive. That framing still holds. Adding health centers in Central Florida, Burbank, and Anaheim gives more cast members actual access to primary care, behavioral health, and physical therapy without burning a day ...

Construction walls are not what anyone books a Disney vacation for. That is obvious, but it is worth saying plainly, because refurbishments at Walt Disney World tend to get framed as good news. New flooring. Updated fixtures. Fresh paint. All of that is true, and all of it eventually benefits guests. What gets lost is that somebody is staying at ...

Yesterday we covered the full menu release for the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and the reaction was exactly what you would expect. Fans have been waiting on those menus for months. The 30th anniversary lineup with 30 returning or reimagined items gave longtime attendees something to dig into, and the new additions gave everybody else a reason ...

Some restaurants at Walt Disney World are famous. Olivia’s Cafe is beloved, which is a different thing entirely. Tucked into Disney’s Old Key West Resort, Olivia’s has never had the reservation frenzy of a signature dining location or the recognition of a park restaurant. It is a resort cafe at a Disney Vacation Club property that most guests will never ...

Another day in Orlando, another heat advisory. That sentence has been true for most of this month, and the repetition is exactly the problem. When something happens often enough, people stop treating it as a warning and start treating it as background noise. We covered an advisory on August 11 with an index reaching 110. We covered another on August ...

Halloween at Walt Disney World has become an expensive proposition. Between the parties, the merchandise and fun food options all over the property. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs $119 to $229 per person, depending on the night, and several dates have already sold out. Party-exclusive merchandise sells fast. Popcorn buckets and sippers add up. For a family of four, a ...
