Today is the day at Magic Kingdom. The first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is here. After months of announcements, showtime confirmations, ticket sellouts, and the annual debate about whether Halloween should start while it is still 95 degrees outside, Magic Kingdom finally turns over to the party tonight. Opening night always carries a particular energy. Costumes on Main ...

Cast members are the reason Disney parks work, and entertainment cast members are a category of their own. Attractions, food and beverage, and merchandise cast members shape a large part of the guest experience, and none of that should be minimized. But entertainment cast members are doing something different. They are the heartbeat of the parks. They are what make ...

Every Disney World resort has one spot that regulars claim as theirs. At Disney’s BoardWalk, a strong case can be made for the Village Green. It is not a headliner. It does not show up in the marketing, and plenty of guests walk past it without registering what it is. But for the people who stay here repeatedly, that stretch ...

Solar-powered trash cans have been steadily replacing the old bins across the property, and every week seems to ...

These days, a park visit involves knowing what is open, what is down for refurbishment, what is closed permanently, and what is coming back next week. Miss one of those details, and you end up walking your family across the park toward something surrounded by construction walls. It ...

Disney World fans do not handle change well. That is not an insult; it is just documented behavior at this point. A ride gets reimagined, and the internet mourns for two years. A restaurant closes, and people post photos of their last meal there like a eulogy. A parade float gets retired, and somebody starts a petition. It happens with ...

Leadership changes at most companies come and go without customers ever noticing. Disney is not like most companies. Walt Disney World is not like most theme parks.
