If you’re hoping to go on the ever-popular Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, pack your patience. Join the Resistance Rise of the Resistance has a lot of moving parts with complex technical aspects which can cause some complications if things go wrong. It’s not all that unusual to see the ride temporarily close suddenly, but today’s issue doesn’t strictly have to do with a ride closure. It has to do with a ridiculously long wait time. When we checked the My Disney Experience app on the morning of February 22nd (around 9:30AM ET), Rise of the Resistance was showing a 305-minute wait. ©Disney No, that is not a joke — 305 minutes people!!! That breaks down to just over 5 HOURS. Just a few minutes later, however, that wait time dropped to 295 minutes — well over 4 hours and nearing 5. Considering the fact that the park opened at 8:30AM on the 22nd, it means that the wait swelled only about 1 hour after “regular” park guests were allowed in. Keep in mind though that Disney World hotel guests would have been allowed to enter the park 30 minutes early thanks to the Early Theme Park Entry perk. Rise of the Resistance Now, to be clear, this is not the first time we’ve seen Rise of the Resistance hit a wait time this high. In 2022, we saw Rise of the Resistance hit wait times at, near, or just past 5 hours in early/mid-January and in July as well. It also got close with about a 4-and-a-half-hour wait in December, and it strangely posted a 7-hour wait in October. We also saw the ride hit a 4-hour wait in December of 2021. So while this has happened before, it’s not exactly an everyday occurrence (thank goodness!). Inside Rise of the Resistance A few things could be factoring into this long wait time. The ride may have experienced some issues limiting its capacity, causing longer waits. Also, President’s Day took place this past Monday and the runDisney Princess Half Marathon race weekend starts tomorrow (February 23rd). So that combination of holidays/special events could be causing a high influx of crowds, leading to a longer wait time there. Additionally, at Hollywood Studios, one of its other popular rides — Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster — has closed for an extended refurbishment. That ride won’t reopen until the summer of 2023. When a big, popular ride in a park closes for a long time, it forces crowds that would have normally been in line for that ride to spread to the park’s other rides, potentially leading to higher wait times. Rise of the Resistance We’ll continue to keep an eye out for updates on this situation and let you know what we find. Want to skip the long wait times in Disney World? Consider buying Genie+ or (for special rides like Rise of the Resistance) buying an Individual Lightning Lane as needed. These tools can help you skip the standby lines. WOAH You could also take advantage of things like Early Theme Park Entry to get access to the parks before the “regular” guests — this perk is reserved for Disney World hotel guests and those at select other qualifying hotels. Or you could buy a ticket for a special event, like After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, that’ll let you enjoy the park with far fewer crowds. Stay tuned for more tips!

It’s time to celebrate Mardi Gras! Let’s Celebrate! At Disney World, THE place to be for these celebrations is Port Orleans Resort! Guests can take part in themed activities at the resorts (like checking out a super unique parade), listen to exciting jazz music, and even enjoy tasty treats. If you don’t know that these celebrations are going on, you might have totally missed them — they’re a bit of a secret! But now that you’re “in the know,” join us as we check out 2 of the treats available there and see if either is worth your cash. First up, we just had to grab a King Cake — a true Mardi Gras staple — at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. King Cake It was available at a pop-up bar/snack spot at the Resort, along with some other goodies. (Note that the King Cake is also listed on the menu for Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory so you can find it there as well. We’ve spotted these on the menu there in years past, so they aren’t particularly new, but still festive for the occasion!) Snacks The mini King Cake is a cake with festive yellow, purple, and green icing and sprinkles. They are available for $5.29 each. Lots of icing! We thought the flavors in this were great. We could taste the cinnamon, which really elevated this from just a normal bundt cake. Essentially it captured the flavors of a cinnamon roll in the flavors of a mini bundt cake. The icing added some extra sugar (in a good way) and the sugary sprinkles were a nice touch. The beignet was MUCH better than the King Cake, plus it was cheaper! We might still give the classic beignets with powdered sugar a slight edge over these, but these were still tasty. They’re also very festive and would make for a great Instagram picture! So Instagrammable! Overall, it’s a good pick for those who love beignets, sprinkles, and icing. But be warned that it can get a little messy, so pick up some napkins! Fluffy! What do you think about these treats? Would you make a trip over to French Quarter on Mardi Gras just to try them? Did you even know Mardi Gras celebrations take place over there? Tell us in the comments! It’s a good reminder to look around you for hidden items because you never know what you might find! Stay tuned for more Disney news.

There are all kinds of events that take place at Disney World. You might be familiar with their Christmas celebrations and Halloween festivities, but there are OTHER special events that take place that you may have NEVER heard of. Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Did you know that there’s a hidden Mickey that comes out once a year to celebrate Mickey’s birthday?

Well, now we’re adding another celebration to your list of events to check out in the future — and it’s over at a beloved hotel, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter (and Riverside too)! Mardi Gras took place on February 21st, 2023, and French Quarter went ALL-IN on the celebration! We were able to see some of the festivities in the afternoon, but we want to thank our friend Krista (@disneykismet on Instagram) for sharing some of her photos of the celebration with us! Let’s Celebrate! The place to go for all things Mardi Gras is Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts. Here, guests can sample delicious treats, listen to jazz music, and enjoy other festive events at Riverside and French Quarter. Don’t Forget About the Music The centerpiece of the event is the golf cart parade, which winds through Port Orleans Resort — Riverside and French Quarter. But this isn’t your ordinary, run-of-the-mill parade; the “floats” are made of decorated golf carts, each one put together by Cast Members! How Cool Is That?! This tradition began over ten years ago and can take weeks or months to put together. Each year the parade has a central theme for them to follow, and this year the theme is “The Legacy of Walt Disney World Resorts,” a fitting choice for a year full of anniversary celebrations. Polynesian Village Resort-themed float Several of the golf carts have been decorated to represent different Disney World resorts. Cast Members from across Port Orleans Resort are involved in the parade, but this year’s theme gave them a chance to show their love for other Disney resorts!

When it comes to buffets, your experience can either be really good, or really bad. Usually, there’s no in between. Whether you can’t get over how amazing the food was, or you can’t get over how bad the stomach ache was, there’s a lot of talk about buffets — especially at Disney! You’ll find many a Mickey Waffle at Disney World breakfast buffets! The good thing about Disney buffets is that some of them actually rank pretty high in our list of favorite restaurants at Disney in general! Yes, they’re that good! To save you some time (and some disappointment) we decided to rank every buffet in Disney World! Without further adieu, here is every buffet-style restaurant at Disney World ranked from best to worst — according to the DFB team. (You can trust us! We’ve tried them all!) 1. Boma Boma – Flavors of Africa is tucked into Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and features a full buffet inspired by African cuisine. Here, you can enjoy an all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast or dinner. From pap for breakfast to the zebra dome cake for an after-dinner dessert, you can’t go wrong with Boma! The food is amazing if you love African-inspired cuisine and are feeling adventurous. Boma 2. Tusker House Tusker House is located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and features an array of both American and African cuisine — perfect for the whole family. Plus, there are character breakfasts! You can say hello to Mickey and the gang as they come back from their Safari adventure — dressed in their gear, of course! The food here is great, and the character dining here is one of Disney’s most well-kept secrets! Tusker House 3. Biergarten Biergarten is a family-style buffet and dinner-show located in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion. You can enjoy a wide variety of German-inspired cuisine such as bratwurst, spaetzle, potato salad, and of course — beer! You can never go wrong with dinner and a show. The food is delicious, and the food is excellent as well. Seating 4. Cape May Cafe Cape May Cafe is located just a short walk from EPCOT at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. Guests can enjoy a taste of New England-inspired cuisine, and at breakfast time, can meet Minnie and her friends all dressed up for a day at the beach! The variety of food is perfect for those who love seafood and those who’d rather eat something from the mainland. Not only is this one of our favorite restaurants for theming purposes, but the food is great, too! Cape May Cafe 5. The Crystal Palace Sorry dads, no football here. This buffet-style restaurant featuring our friends from the Hundred Acre Woods was built to resemble England’s Crystal Palace, built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Here, guests can meet Winnie the Pooh and his friends while enjoying classic American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oh, and did we mention that it’s located in Magic Kingdom? Perfect for a day spent at the parks! The convenience of this restaurant is one of our favorite things about it, plus the food is actually pretty good! Crystal Palace 6. Hollywood and Vine Located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Hollywood and Vine offers guests great American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast, you can party with Disney Junior characters like Doc McStuffins, Fancy Nancy, and more! For lunch and dinner, you can enjoy seasonally-themed meet-and-greets with Minnie Mouse and the gang. The theming and variety of characters is the best part of the restaurant, as the food is decent, but nothing special. Hollywood and Vine 7. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is one of Disney’s best kept secrets! Located in the Norway Pavilion in EPCOT, you can enjoy cuisine inspired by Scandinavian favorites with some American sides. Plus, you can meet so many favorite Disney princesses such as Snow White, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, and Ariel! The experience is amazing, but the food is… average? Akershus 8. Trail’s End Located at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, Trail’s End serves American cuisine for breakfast and dinner. While the food is good, the restaurant is inconvennient to get to if you aren’t already staying at Fort Wilderness. While this restaurant is typically buffet-style, it currently offers family-style skillet meals and will soon close for refurbishment in spring 2023. Get your fixin’s while you can! Trail’s End 9. Chef Mickey’s This buffet-style restaurant is located in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. While guests are currently enjoying family-style platter meals, the typical buffet service will return on March 1st, 2023. The appeal of Chef Mickey’s comes from the ability to meet the Fab 5 dressed up as chefs! The food, however, is not worth mentioning. Seriously, we won’t mention it. Stick to breakfast at Chef Mickey’s and just get the waffles. Honorable Mention: 1900 Park Fare This restaurant would be pretty high on our list, but it’s not available — it has remained closed since the Disney World closure in 2020. Located in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, guests could enjoy American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring characters from Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella. We hope it comes back soon! We hope this list inspires you while planning your dream Disney vacation!

We get it — flying with kiddos can be a big event in and of itself. We’re all too familiar with the chaos that can come with coordinating the flights, making sure all of the luggage gets packed correctly and properly checked in, and making sure no one’s favorite blanket gets left behind at the gate. Orlando International Airport While some of these things are just part of the joy of parenting tiny humans, we do have tips to make part of your travel experience easier. And our tip today comes in the form of a special feature coming soon to United Airlines. According to CNBC, United Airlines will soon make it easier for families to book seats next to their children without having to pay a fee. So just how will this work? According to CNN, United will introduce a new seat map feature. It’ll help families with kids under 12 find seats that are next to each other — FREE of charge. Basically, the seat map will automatically search for available adjacent economy seats when you’re booking, but it’ll also show “complimentary upgrades to other available seats as needed.” ©Getty Images While “preferred” seats will be shown, United Polaris, First Class, and Economy Plus seats will NOT be included in the change. This will apply to those with standard and basic economy tickets. The system will be fully in place next month. You might already notice some changes though, as United has started to increase some of the seat availability as it makes this change. You can sit by your kiddos for no upcharge! Also, if side-by-seats aren’t available, United will allow customers to switch to another flight to the same destination that has adjacent seats without any fare difference being charged. This change comes as President Biden and his administration push for changes with family seating fees and other “hidden” fees on flights. ©United During his State of the Union address, Biden made several statements against “junk fees,” which he defined as “hidden surcharges too many companies use to make you pay more.” Biden shared that they are working to “prohibit airlines from charging $50 round trip for a family just to be able to sit together.” Biden emphasized the point of these changes by saying, “Baggage fees are bad enough. Airlines can’t treat your child like a piece of baggage. Americans are tired of being — we’re tired of being played for suckers.” Boarding Back in July 2022, the Department of Transportation issued a notice “stating that it is the Department’s policy that U.S. airlines ensure that children who are age 13 or younger are seated next to an accompanying adult with no extra charge, but still no airline guarantees fee-free family seating.” The Department of Transportation is set to soon “publish a family seating fee dashboard and launch a rulemaking to ban the practice.” President Biden has called upon “Congress to fast-track the ban on family seating fees so that the DOT can crack down on these practices more quickly than through a rulemaking.” Airplane How do other airlines handle the situation? According to CNBC, Delta Air Lines indicates that it blocks some rows of seats so families can stay together. They also share that they do NOT charge family seating fees and will work with customers (on a case-by-case basis) to ensure their needs are met. American Airlines uses a booking platform that automatically searches for available seats that are together for main cabin and basic economy passengers. But preferred seats and seats in the extra legroom section open on the day of departure if needed. Airplane As usual, make sure to follow along for more Disney news, reviews, and updates.

The 2023 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival will kick off on March 1st and run through July 5th. The Flower & Garden Festival Is Almost HERE! Thus far, Disney has shared that there will be NEW Encanto-themed topiaries, the return of the Garden Rocks Concert Series and dining packages, food booths, merchandise, and more. We even saw a NEW food booth pop up in the park. But now we’re sharing ALL the details you need to know about the booths that will be available at the Flower & Garden Festival. Disney already revealed that there will be more than 15 outdoor food kitchens at the Festival this year and they’re still keeping that full list a secret. But we’ve started to see some food booths pop up in EPCOT for the Festival already, giving us a clue as to which ones you’ll be able to experience this year. So let’s go through the FULL list of food booths we’ve seen in the park so far, indicating their return to the 2023 Flower & Garden Festival. First up, we have a brand NEW booth — Brunchcot! Based on its name, we expect this could serve up some brunch-inspired eats, but we’ll be on the lookout for a full menu. Brunchcot!! Other booths that will be making an appearance at the 2023 Flower & Garden Festival include Jardin de Fiestas by the Mexico pavilion… Jardin de Fiestas …Pineapple Promenade (typically home to a DOLE whip during the Festival)… Pineapple Promenade …The Honey Bee-Stro… Honey Bee-Stro …Trowel & Trellis… Trowel & Trellis …Northern Bloom (by the Canada pavilion)… Northern Bloom …Bauernmarkt by Germany… Another Booth! …Hanami in the Japan pavilion… Hanami …La Isla Fresca… La Isla Fresca …Magnolia Terrace at the American Adventure pavilion… Magnolia Terrace …and Primavera Kitchen in the Italy pavilion. Primavera Kitchen Disney also previously confirmed that The Citrus Blossom booth would be returning, but would be at a new location at The Odyssey and it will have “fresh new menu items.” Blocked Off That brings us to a total of 12 confirmed booths so far, but with over 15 set to join the Festival, it seems we’re still missing a few. Disney has yet to reveal the full booth list and hasn’t shared the Festival menus yet either, but we’ll be on the lookout for updates on ALL of that.

Disney World adds on to After Hours event at Hollywood Studios, introduces it at Epcot. H2O Glow returning to Typhoon Lagoon, after spring reopening. View the full article

It’s a good thing there are plenty of attractions in each Disney park because this gives guests other options when one happens to close. Hollywood Studios We see plenty of unexpected closures, like when a ride suddenly breaks down due to technical issues, but these are often fixed the same day. Attractions see a lot of daily use though, so sometimes they need to close for extended periods of time to allow Disney’s teams to do some maintenance. These fixes take a bit longer and one ride has just CLOSED as part of an extended maintenance closure in Disney World. Back in December, Disney announced that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster would be closing on February 20th, 2023, for refurbishment. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster sign However, things didn’t go quite as planned. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster actually remained open on February 20th, and the closure was delayed to February 21st. This gave guests some extra time to get one last ride in. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Poster Now that February 21st has finally arrived, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has in fact CLOSED for its extended refurbishment. The website does not show any operating hours for the ride today and instead indicates that the ride is closed and won’t reopen until the summer of 2023. That’s a pretty extensive closure. ©Disney Signs were up in Hollywood Studios reminding guests of the closure. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has had some rough moments in the past, with sudden closures. Back in 2022, the ride closed several times in January, April, and July. At that point (back in July of 2022), a Cast Member indicated that the ride hadn’t gotten a full refurbishment since Disney World reopened following the COVID-19-related closures, which could explain why it experienced so many issues. Hopefully, this refurbishment can help cut down potential issues in the future with this ride. Again, note that an exact reopening date for the ride has not been shared, but it is expected to open sometime in the summer this year. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster We’ll be sure to keep an eye on this closure and keep you in the know when it reopens. Stay tuned to our site for updates! If you’re looking for something else to do in Hollywood Studios, another popular ride to try is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. You can also dine at one of their popular restaurants like 50’s Prime Time Cafe or try out the upcoming Roundup Rodeo BBQ when it opens in March!

Are you going on a Disney cruise soon? You might want to consider leaving the little ones at home! No, we’re not heartless monsters — there are just some ages that are generally better than others when it comes to cruising with Mickey and his pals (although note that every Disney cruise ship has spaces just for babies, kids, tweens, and teens on board). Set Sail with Disney Pals! So who would really enjoy a Disney cruise, and when should you decide to wait a couple more years or leave the kiddos with grandma and grandpa? We’ve got all the information you’ll need to make the best decision. Of course, the best choice for your group will depend on the personalities and preferences of your kiddos. But you should also consider what activities are available to them on board the cruise ships and where kids of certain ages are NOT allowed to go. Based on our experiences from years of cruising with Disney, we’ve compiled the pros and cons of taking kids of all ages on Disney cruise ships. 6 Months to 3 Years Old Pros When you see videos of babies meeting Mickey and Minnie for the first time and being completely delighted with the experience, it’s hard to resist immediately booking a Disney trip for your own littles. And there are some pros to bringing your babies on a Disney cruise! For example, you can meet lots of characters with much shorter waits than you’ll see in the Disney parks. Captain Mickey In Magic Kingdom, the Mickey Mouse meet-and-greet often has a wait time of 45 minutes or more, but the line to meet Mickey on a cruise ship is almost always MUCH shorter. And there are usually plenty of other meet-and-greets close by, including Minnie, Disney princesses, and other characters. Belle aboard the Disney Wish! You might be nervous about the idea of having your baby with you 24/7 on a cruise ship, but don’t forget that they can go to the “it’s a small world” nursery for a few hours to give you a bit of “me” time. Nursery on the Disney Wish Although many excursions and port adventures have a minimum age requirement of at least 3 years old, there are still a few experiences that are open to kids of all ages, such as museum tours and some speedboat trips. And a trip to the beach to enjoy the sand and water is often more than enough to entertain the littles! Castaway Cay If you’re dying to take the babies on a Disney vacation to get that coveted picture with Mickey, a cruise might be the easier option compared to a Disney park. Whereas Disney parks often require hours of walking out in the heat, a cruise offers more flexibility and potentially a much more relaxing experience. You can enjoy the activities on board, always knowing your stateroom is just an elevator ride away (and not miles away like in Disney World) just in case you should need to run back for a nap or to collect a forgotten item. Disney Dream stateroom It’s easy for little kids to get overstimulated and exhausted in Disney World with so much going on around them, but a cruise can have a much slower pace to accommodate their preferred schedules. Cons As fun as it is to see your littles meet Mickey, there are a few warnings we have to give before you start to pack their suitcases. First, most port adventures have a minimum age requirement of at least 3 years old. If you were planning to go snorkeling, rent bikes, or swim with the dolphins, your baby won’t be allowed to come along. Castaway Cay You also can’t bring the littles into adults-only areas, such as certain fancy restaurants on board or the adults-only swimming pool and deck. Adult only pool The “it’s a small world” nursery offers babysitting for these little ones, but you’ll have to pay by the hour and reservations at the nursery do run out quickly. Space in the nursery is very limited, so you’ll want to book your child’s stay as soon as possible. Here’s a schedule of when you can book reservations, which depends on your Castaway Club status: Up to 120 days ahead for Concierge and Platinum Castaway Club Guests Up to 105 days ahead for Gold Castaway Club Guests Up to 90 days ahead for Silver Castaway Club Guests Up to 75 days ahead for all other Guests Disney notes that “reservations can also be made on a first-come, first-served basis during the open house on Embarkation Day or anytime throughout your cruise.” The nursery costs $4.50 per half-hour for the first child and an additional $4 per half-hour for any additional children in your family. It’s a Small World Nursery Also, remember that swim diapers are not permitted in any Disney cruise ship pools. There are splash areas on each ship where kids in swim diapers can play instead. Some pools and water attractions have height and age requirements. Here’s a full list of those restrictions: AquaDuck (Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy) – height 42 inches or taller AquaDunk (Disney Magic) – height 48 inches or taller AquaLab (Disney Fantasy and Disney Magic) – ages 3 and older Donald’s Pool / Goofy’s Pool (all ships) – adults and children ages 3 and older Mickey’s Pool (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wonder) – ages 3 and older Whirlpool Spa tubs (all ships) – adult supervision required for Guests under age 16 Mickey’s Slide – ages 4 to 14; height at least 38 and no more than 64 inches tall Nephews’ Splash Zone / Dory’s Reef / Nemo’s Reef (all ships) – ages 3 and younger (swim diapers required) Quiet Cove Pool – ages 18 and older only Twist ‘n’ Spout Slide (Disney Magic and Disney Wonder) – height at least 38 inches or taller Toy Story Splash Zone In addition, having a little one with a strict nap schedule might make it harder for the adults and older kids to do all the activities they want to do on board. And don’t forget that most of the rooms on board Disney’s cruise ships (and all cruise ships, for that matter) are smaller than your average hotel room, which means tight spaces with little ones. 3 to 10 Years Old Pros Lots of the same pros of bringing a baby on board a Disney cruise ship also apply to 3- to 10-year-olds. You can meet characters with shorter wait times, the trip will likely be more relaxing than a Disney parks vacation, and it’s not hard to entertain them with just a visit to the beach. Goofy In addition, some of these kids might be old enough and tall enough to ride on the water slides, and, as long as they’re potty-trained, they can swim in the pools on board. Pool and a movie! There are a lot of activities for the kids to participate in at the Oceaneer Club. There’s an Oceaneer Club on every ship, and each has different themed lands, such as a Star Wars area, a Marvel superhero area, a pirates area, and a princess area. (The themes may be different on the different Disney cruise ships.) Oceaneer Club The Oceaneer Club is free, and parents are allowed to drop off the kids and go do their own thing while the little ones hang out there. Star Wars Cargo Bay in the Oceaneer Club In addition, kids this age may be old enough to skip nap time, which means they’ll have more time to enjoy the ship and their schedules won’t interrupt the rest of the family’s plans. Cons Just like the babies, the little ones aren’t allowed in adult-only areas on board the ship. If you wanted to enjoy those spots, you’d need to do so while your child was being taken care of by another member of your group or while they were playing at the Oceaneer Club. Adult-only beach Also, there are some port adventures that kids this age are not able to go on, such as some Segway tours and certain animal encounters (like swimming with the stingrays, which is only for ages 10 and up). 11 to 14 Years Old Pros Kids ages 11 to 14 years old are able to enjoy the ship’s character meet-and-greets, pools, and (as long as they meet the height requirements) water slides and attractions. The AquaMouse They can also visit Edge, which is a tween hangout space on board each Disney cruise ship. This space has a dance floor, a lounge area, and “the latest high-tech music, video, and gaming systems.” There’s also karaoke, scavenger hunts, themed nights, and other events. Kids this age would likely think it was cool to be able to have some independence on vacation (parents don’t need to check them in or out of the club) and hang out with other kids their own age without their parents around. Edge At this age, they’re able to participate in most port adventures and excursions. Plus, kids ages 13 and up can enjoy the Chill Spa, which is a spa just for teens on the Disney Dream, Fantasy, and Magic. Edge At 11 to 14 years old, some kids are still into the “Disney Magic,” and others may be less interested in Mickey, superheroes, and princesses. A cruise offers options for both Disney-related activities and normal vacation activities, so the kiddos might be more interested in it than in a Disney Parks visit. Cons At ages 11 to 14 years old, the kids can’t go into adult-only areas, and they also can’t visit the Oceaneer Club. However, they do have the Edge Club, which provides lots of fun activities. Disney Cruise Edge We know how much tweens and teens value their phones, so the limited phone service on board may cause a problem if your kiddos need their social media fix. In a pinch, you can always pay for the onboard internet service, but that can add quite a bit to the bill for your vacation. 14 to 17 Years Old Pros We think that kids ages 14 to 17 would really enjoy a Disney cruise. The main reason is that they can head over to Vibe — the club for teens ages 14 to 17 with music, movies, video games and more — to hang out with other kids their age and get away from the parents. They can enjoy their independence and the parents can rest easy knowing that a Disney cruise ship is a relatively safe environment for the kids to be on their own. Vibe When you might not let the kids go out on their own in an unfamiliar city or even in the Disney theme parks, it seems much safer for them to be away with friends on a Disney cruise ship. How cool is this deck? In addition, kids ages 14 to 17 years old can do almost every excursion at the ports. They can also go to the Chill Spa on the Disney Dream, Fantasy, and Magic for a relaxing spa day. Cons The cons for taking kids ages 14 to 17 years old on a Disney cruise ship are similar to those for kids ages 11 to 14. They’re still not able to go into the adult-only pool areas or restaurants, although they have their own spaces to enjoy and the parents can enjoy the adult-only spots while the kids chill at Vibe. Adult-only area Also, any teens who can’t live without their phone might have trouble with the limited service onboard a Disney cruise ship. Onboard internet service is available at an extra cost, so you may need to factor that into the budget. In addition, some teens might think they’re way too cool for Disney, so they might not be super excited about the “magical” elements on board. That really depends on the individual kid, though! 18+ Years Old Pros So what about bringing your adult kids on a Disney cruise? Finally those kids are old enough to enjoy the adult-only areas on board with you, such as the Palo and Remy restaurants and the adult spa. Palo Steakhouse Although a Disney cruise might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it can certainly make those older kids feel like a little kid again. And being able to get your photo with Mickey and indulge in free ice cream cones all day but still relax at the adult-only pool and book a massage at the Senses Spa sounds like the best of both worlds Cons Your adult kids might want their own space more so than the younger ones, which is tough in those small staterooms. And if they’re not big fans of Disney, it’s possible that they’ll think they’re too old for a Disney cruise (hopefully they’ll learn better soon). Final thoughts There’s something for everyone on a Disney cruise, but it might not be a super chill trip if you bring young kids on board with you. There are some places where they can go to give you “me” time, but cruising with older kids only might be the way to go if you want a truly relaxing experience. However, a Disney cruise might be easier for the littles than a visit to the Disney theme parks, as it’s less exhausting for them but still has Disney magic! The Disney Wish The sweet spot for taking kids on a Disney cruise might be ages 14 to 17. They get all the independence of going out on their own with friends while still being in a safe environment. They can enjoy almost all of the port excursions and activities on board, excluding the adult-only areas. Disney Magic However, the best option will ultimately depend on your group and your specific kids, so talk with them to see how they’d feel about sailing with Mickey. You can explain what they will and won’t be able to do and let them be part of the decisioin (provided they’re old enough, of course. Probably the 6-month-olds won’t contribute much to the planning process). Want to learn more about Disney cruises? Check out these posts!

Something WEIRD happened in EPCOT today. Spaceship Earth Strange and unexpected things can happen sometimes in the Disney parks — whether that’s sudden weather changes, surprising ride closures, or major delays. But today’s event relates to something truly near and dear to our hearts — FOOD. When we stopped by around 11:46AM ET, a Cast Member at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue (in the American Adventure pavilion) told us they were not open yet. The Regal Eagle operating hours were supposed to be 11:45AM-9PM on the day we visited (Tuesday, February 21st). Uh Oh! The Cast Member indicated that they could open soon (in just about 5 minutes) or it could be a few hours. They were, at that point, waiting for the “signal” to open. Pretty Empty Another Cast Member informed us that their grills went down and they were working to get them back up but they did not have an estimated opening time yet. We checked the My Disney Experience app at 1:42PM ET and it was showing arrival windows soon after, but when we selected those, the app indicated that “this location is unable to process mobile orders at this time.” We looked at later arrival times and still got the same message. ©Disney While this is a strange occurrence, it still serves as a good reminder that ANYTHING can happen in Disney World. If you have a very strict plan where everything is timed down to the second, a disruption like this could seriously mess up your day. New Loaded Fries So what can you do to plan for the unexpected? First, make a schedule that is flexible enough to accommodate sudden changes like this. Add in lots of wiggle room so you can make changes on the fly but still get your must-dos done. Second, have backup options in place. Lunch at Regal Eagle isn’t going to work out? Okay, what’s our next go-to? Fish & chips in the UK pavilion? A few snacks scattered throughout the pavilions? Having a backup plan in place can help that adjustment not feel so harsh. What’s Your Backup Plan? It’s not always easy to adjust to these sudden changes, particularly if you have your hopes set on trying a certain thing, but adding flexibility to your plan can help you make the most of your day. Our final tip is to keep checking for updates. Sometimes an incident like this will be resolved quickly, or it could take hours. Check on the My Disney Experience app for any updates and speak with Cast Members near the restaurant to see what they might know.

At Disneyland Park in California, a NEW ride has recently opened — Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Nothing Can Stop Us Now! Though the ride had been open for a while in Disney World, it is new to the Disneyland scene. We’ve already shared all kinds of easter eggs you can find on the ride, but to get on the ride you’ll either need to grab a virtual queue boarding group or pay for an Individual Lightning Lane. Soon, however, things will change! According to Scott Gustin, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland will NOT be available via virtual queue tomorrow, February 22nd. Instead, it’ll have a regular standby queue for guests to wait in. The Individual Lightning Lane, however, will continue to be available. Gustin warns, however, that Disneyland may resume using the virtual queue at this ride if needed depending on crowd levels, etc. Similar language was used when the virtual queue was paused at WEB Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure in Disney California Adventure Park. Inside the Queue! How will you know on any given day if the virtual queue is being used? Check the Disneyland app! If you look at the ride there, you’ll see whether a virtual queue is in use. For example, this is what it looks like for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway today (virtual queue in use)… ©Disney …versus WEB Slingers (no virtual queue in use today). ©Disney Again, because the use of the virtual queue can vary by date, just be sure to check on the day of your trip.

Did you hear? Disney World just announced a BUNCH of new dates for after hours events at EPCOT! EPCOT If you want to get on rides with lower wait times, grab special snacks and treats, and see the Disney World theme parks LATE at night, you can buy a ticket for one of the after hours events. For EPCOT, those events will take place on select nights between June 1st and August 24th, 2023. You might be wondering what exactly is included in these events, including which attractions actually stay open once the park closes to daytime guests. We have an answer for you! The 2023 after hours events at EPCOT take place between June 1st and August 24th, and tickets range in price from $129 to $139 per person (although DVC Members and Annual Passholders get a discount, so all tickets cost $99 for them). Note that this is a separately ticketed event — a normal daytime EPCOT park ticket will NOT get you into the after hours party. ©Disney With an after hours ticket, you can enter the park a bit before the event begins, at 7PM. You do not need a Park Pass Reservation or daytime EPCOT ticket. EPCOT park entrance Tickets go on sale on March 3rd, 2023, but if you have reservations to stay at a Disney World hotel (including all Disney-owned hotels, the Shades of Green resort, and the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve hotels), then you can buy tickets a little early, starting on February 28th. Disney’s Riviera Resort Lots of rides will remain open during the after hours event, including the following: Frozen Ever After Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Living with the Land Presented by Chiquita® Mission: SPACE Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure The Seas with Nemo & Friends Soarin’ Around the World Spaceship Earth Test Track Presented by Chevrolet® Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind On the event website, Disney notes that “attractions and experiences are subject to change without notice. Admission to this event does not guarantee access to any attraction or experience.” Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Also included in your event ticket are some treats, like ice cream treats, popcorn, and select bottled drinks. These are available at carts stationed throughout EPCOT. You can buy additional snacks, food, and drinks at some restaurants that remain open in EPCOT.
