With the holidays quickly approaching, Disney World is getting a bit more crowded every day. Holiday crowds in Magic Kingdom Many guests plan their trips around the holidays, too — making sure to spend Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve (or both!) in the parks. But, with waves of people heading to Disney World, there’s always a chance the parks could reach capacity with no other guests allowed in. It’s rare, but it can occur — so here’s everything that happens when a Disney World park hits capacity. The holidays are right around the corner — but so are the Disney World crowds! If you’re heading to the parks on a busy day and are concerned it might reach capacity, fear not. We’re bringing you all the tips you might need to know for being in a Disney World park when it hits capacity. Theme Park Entry Disney World is still utilizing the Park Pass Reservation System, so in addition to having valid park admission, you need to make sure you’ve booked your park pass reservations for the desired date(s) of your visit. That way, you can ensure entry into the park you’ve booked since you’ve already reserved a spot. Scanning into a Disney World park On any given day in a Disney World park, guests with valid admission and park pass reservations are able to come and go from the park they reserved. In Magic Kingdom but forgot your water bottle in the car? You can go get it. Want to take a break from EPCOT and get a little mid-day snooze before heading back for fireworks? That’s alright, too. The same is true even if the park you’re in hits capacity. Essentially, if you have theme park reservations on a sold-out day, you’re guaranteed entry into that park all day — regardless of whether or not the park reaches capacity. Transportation and Ticket Center crowds So, if you have a Hollywood Studios park reservation on New Year’s Eve but want to leave the park and return later in the day, you’ll be able to do so even if Hollywood Studios is sold out and no more guests are allowed in. Keep in mind that the holiday season is busy and can book up quickly, so if you haven’t already made your park pass reservations, you might want to go ahead and do so! What To Expect on Christmas Day in Disney World Park Hopping The story is a little bit different when it comes to Park Hopping, though — you’re not guaranteed entrance to a second park if it reaches capacity. Right now, Park Hopping is only available after 2PM, and after a guest has already scanned into their first park of the day (that they booked a reservation for). Hollywood Studios Crowds Let’s say you started your morning in Animal Kingdom and want to hop to EPCOT after 2PM. You can come and go from Animal Kingdom regardless of capacity since you have a reservation for that park. But, since you technically don’t have a reservation for EPCOT, if you get there and the park is at capacity — you’re out of luck. EPCOT Entrance The good news is that since you do have a reservation for Animal Kingdom in this scenario, you can head back to that park and spend the rest of your day there. But, this is pretty important info to keep in mind if you’re park hopping on a busy day in Disney World. Everything You Need To Know About Park Hopping in Disney World What You Can Do Don’t worry — not all hope is lost, and you don’t have to waste time and potentially get stranded at that second park. Disney is all about customer service, so if you’re getting ready to hop to another park and are worried it may be full already, there’s a phone number you can call! Animal Kingdom Crowds Yep, just dial (407) 560-5000 to find out whether or not the parks are full before you leave your current park. This number has been used in the past to notify guests if a park is open to additional guests or not. Plus, if you call this number, you can hop to a different park if your first choice is at capacity. Mexico Pavilion Crowds in EPCOT If you’re heading to the parks during this busy holiday season or any other busy season, keep these tips in mind for managing a full-capacity day in Disney World. We’ve got plenty of planning info for your next visit, like the terrifyingly easy ways to ruin your vacation and what to do if you can’t get the hotel reservation you want.

If you’ll be dining in Disneyland soon, there’s an important change you need to know about. Monkey Bread in Disneyland A number of changes have hit the Disney parks recently. Magic Key Passes became available to purchase again, Annual Pass price increases have been announced for Disney World, and more things will be changing soon. And now another change has hit the Happiest Place on Earth. On November 15th, Disney revealed a big change when it comes to canceling dining reservations at Disney World. Instead of having to cancel the day before to avoid cancelation fees, guests can now cancel their Disney World dining reservations just 2 hours in advance without any kind of cancelation fee. This applies to most locations, though it may not apply to all of them. Yum! Now, it seems the same change has been made at Disneyland. We went into the Disneyland app this morning to try and make a dining reservation. As we were reviewing the reservation, we went to the Credit Card Guarantee Required section and tapped “View the Guest Policies.” ©Disney That directed us to another screen with a lot of different policies. When we scrolled a little further down, we saw that the app now notes that reservations must be canceled at least 2 hours prior to avoid per-person cancelation fees, matching the Disney World policy. ©Disney So if you’ll be visiting Disneyland and plan on making any dining reservations, keep this policy in mind. It could help you avoid cancelation fees if a last-minute reservation change needs to be made. Remember that if you don’t cancel in time and don’t show up to your reservation, you will be charged a $10 per person cancelation fee. Chicken “Arepa” at Carthay Circle Just like out at Disney World, we expect this policy will apply to most restaurants in Disneyland, but it may not apply to all of them, so be sure to check for any specific policies that might apply to whatever restaurants you’ll be eating at during your trip.

I’d seen pictures of sharks before, and I was pretty sure I could scratch nurse, tiger and hammerhead from the suspect lineup. The one in front of me was different ...

There are a lot of exciting things happening with Disney Cruise Line recently! The Disney Wish This year, the brand new Disney Wish cruise ship had its maiden voyage and Halloween on the High Seas returned. We also got a sneak peek at Marvel Days at Sea and Pixar Days at Sea are coming in 2023. But now, Disney has purchased a new ship and we’ve got the details! Thanks to Scott Gustin on Twitter, we know that Disney Cruise Line just purchased the Global Dream cruise ship. Disney Cruise Line says the purchase of this partially completed ship “will bring the magic of a Disney Cruise Line vacation to new global destinations.” It will be based outside of the U.S. and feature “innovative Disney experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining and legendary guest service that set Disney Cruise Line apart.” How cool is this deck? The Global Dream, to be renamed later, is one of the first cruise ship to be fueled by green methanol, which is one of the lowest emission fuels available. The 208,000-ton ship is expected to hold 2,300 crew members and around 6,000 passengers. The ship will see some changes “reimagined under the world-renowned expertise of Walt Disney Imagineers” and it is expected to set sail sometime in 2025. Disney said that more details on the itineraries, experiences, and maiden voyage will be announced later. Disney Wish Cruise Ship In other Disney Cruise news, Disney announced a new private island for cruisers and a brand new cruise ship called Disney Treasure.

CELEBRATION, Fla. (Nov. 16, 2022) — Today, Disney announced the acquisition of a partially completed ship that will bring the magic of a Disney Cruise Line vacation to new global destinations. Disney will work with the esteemed Meyer Werft shipbuilding company to complete the cruise ship previously known as the Global Dream in Wismar, Germany. The ship will be renamed with certain features reimagined under the world-renowned expertise of Walt Disney Imagineers and is expected to set sail in 2025. “Our cruise ships give us the unique opportunity to bring Disney magic to fans no matter where they are, and the addition of this ship will make a Disney Cruise Line vacation accessible to more families than ever before,” said Josh D’Amaro, chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. The new ship, to be based outside the United States, will feature innovative Disney experiences along with the dazzling entertainment, world-class dining and legendary guest service that set Disney Cruise Line apart. The exterior will be adorned in the iconic, Mickey Mouse-inspired colors of the fleet, complete with signature red funnels. The 208,000-gross-ton ship is expected to be among the first in the cruise industry to be fueled by green methanol, one of the lowest emission fuels available. Disney Cruise Line expects the passenger capacity to be approximately 6,000 with around 2,300 crew members. Construction will be completed at the former MV Werften shipyard in Wismar, Germany, under the management of Meyer Werft, the Papenburg-based company that built the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish. The ship’s previous owner filed for bankruptcy before completing the vessel, enabling Disney Cruise Line to secure it at a favorable price and within the capital expenditure guidance The Walt Disney Company provided on its recent earnings call. The project also secures employment for hundreds of former MV Werften employees and will provide opportunities for numerous maritime industry suppliers in the region. More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date. The Disney Cruise Line fleet sails to world-class destinations in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, Mexico, Canada, Hawaii and the South Pacific, and recently announced first-ever vacations for guests in Australia and New Zealand beginning in late 2023.

Disneyland Resort is READY for the holidays, y’all. Snow-topped Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Looking for some holiday treats? Look no further than the West Coast, where there are over 50 special holiday menu items now available throughout Disneyland Park, Downtown Disney, and Disney California Adventure. Whether you want to try Bananas Foster Funnel Cake Fries or an Atomic Pretzel with all kinds of delicious toppings, there’s a holiday treat for everyone, and if gingerbread is your holiday flavor of choice, you need to check out what we found. We stopped by Flo’s V-8 Cafe in Disney’s California Adventure to try the new Gingerbread Shake, made with whipped topping and a gingerbread cake doughnut for $10.99. It’s available from November 11th through January 8th, 2022. Gingerbread Shake Okay, we’re not exaggerating when say this shake has a STRONG ginger flavor. As much as we love ginger, we actually thought it was a little too much, and we weren’t a huge fan of just the shake. Still, ginger is good for nausea, so maybe this is good to order after a ride on Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree? Gingerbread Shake But the gingerbread cake doughnut, however, was incredible! It was moist with a mild gingerbread flavor and the frosting added a bit of sweetness. But if you want to enjoy the shake, you have to REALLY love gingerbread. You could always order it solely for the doughnut but at $10.99, this is a pricey dessert. Yum Looking for more to eat in Disney California Adventure?

Most of us have heard plenty of news about staffing shortages and how they are affecting all kinds of industries, including theme parks. At the beginning of November, Disney World had more than 350 job openings posted, and Universal Orlando had about 270 job openings, according to the Orlando Business Journal. Columbia Harbour House in Disney World The staffing shortage is a main topic of conversation among food and beverage industry leaders attending the IAAPA convention in Orlando this week. Bernie Campbell, chairman of the IAAPA Food & Beverage Committee, noted that many theme parks and other attractions had to keep some of their restaurants and snack stands closed this year, simply because they didn’t have enough staff to run them all. “These staffing issues are the same around the globe,” Campbell said in an educational session on food trends. Whether you realize it or not, you are seeing the results of this labor shortage when you visit theme parks — as they change their menus and more to use less labor. Here’s a look at what’s happening: Prix Fixe Menus We have seen the introduction of many prix fixe menus at Disney World, in its “fanciest” restaurants such as Be Our Guest, California Grill, and Space 220. Prix fixe menus allow guests to pay a fixed price for their meal — they then have a handful of choices for each course. While Prix Fixe menus can offer value to guests and can sometimes be a way for restaurants to manage crowds and turn tables at a faster — or at least more predictable — rate, there is something else behind the prevalence of prix fixe: the labor shortage. The Prix Fixe Menu at Monsieur Paul Food Trends Expert Suzy Badaracco said in an interview with DFB that fine dining restaurants that serve more complex dishes are suffering from a “brain drain,” as experienced cooks left the restaurant industry during the pandemic. Prix Fixe menus turn the kitchen into an assembly line. “They are a way to deal with labor that doesn’t have the talent or experience they need,” said Badaracco, the president of food industry consulting firm Culinary Tides, Inc. Self-Serve Drinks More and more theme parks are also asking guests to make their own drinks. While this trend has been prevalent in fast food restaurants and other locations for some time, some theme parks have been reluctant to switch to self-serve — largely because in their crowded food and drink locations, they have been worried about losing some of their product to theft. Get your drinks at Satuli Canteen! While preparing a drink may seem like a small thing, theme parks need to do it thousands of times each day, and that time adds up to a lot of needed labor. It takes 19 to 22 seconds to fill a drink, according to Campbell. Pouring 5,000 drinks in a day would require more than 26 hours of labor at a minimum. That adds up to thousands of hours of needed labor that could be eliminated in a labor shortage — even in a smaller theme park only open half the year. Festival Changes Another place where culinary talent is needed is inside festival food booths. Nancy Hamlin, a senior vice president with Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, said that while her company’s parks — which include Knott’s Berry Farm, Kings Island, and Cedar Point — rely on festivals to drive visitors, they do create a “staffing situation.” The Merry Mashups booth at the Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays The festival food items are “special” and require experienced culinary staff, Hamlin said. With the labor shortage, Cedar Fair and other theme park companies have to decide between pulling culinary talent from its restaurants and putting them in festival booths to prepare food, or going without booths and serving their festival food from regular dining locations. In releasing its predictions for the food service industry in 2023, the International Foodservice Manufacturers Association said it expects labor shortages to continue in the new year. Industry leaders say the theme park industry needs to rise to the challenge, because good theme park food drives visitors to the parks. “If you can up your culinary game, you’re driving a whole different guest into the park, said Campbell.
