Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation

EPCOT in the late summer and fall is a different park from the one guests experience in the spring or early winter. The crowds shift. The energy shifts. And starting on a date that comes around reliably every year, the park itself physically transforms. Food booths appear along World Showcase Lagoon. Festival decor fills spaces that were empty the day ...

A summer trip to Walt Disney World always comes with one major challenge: the Florida heat. But this week, the conditions around Orlando are becoming more serious than the typical hot and humid afternoon guests expect in July. A heat advisory is in effect across much of Central Florida, with potentially dangerous conditions expected for hours at a time. The ...

Disneyland Paris opened in 1992 with a Fantasyland that was designed to feel like the inside of a storybook. The attractions in that land were built around the animated films that defined Disney’s golden era, and several of them have been operating continuously since opening day.

August is bringing another round of changes to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and guests visiting next month may notice that several things they could enjoy this summer are suddenly gone.

Tokyo DisneySea is not the kind of place that invites casual disrespect.

Guests heading into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios may notice something different before they ever step aboard the Millennium Falcon. It isn’t another new destination, character, or major storyline change.

A popular shortcut at Disney’s Animal Kingdom appears to be on borrowed time, but guests have discovered that Disney hasn’t completely shut the door just yet.
