An occupational hazard of working in the Disney World parks every day is that we have to resist the temptation to purchase every fun new souvenir we find.

There are many ways your day can be ruined at Disney World — in fact, it’s quite EASY to have a terrible time. YIKES Your favorite ride is closed, all the lines have two-hour wait times, it won’t stop raining…we could go on. The good news is that for every problem there’s a solution, and we’ve got you covered. Trust us, you don’t want to be the person having the worst day in Disney World. Ride Closures Rides can close for a number of reasons, such as technical issues or for scheduled refurbishments. Technical issues can be unpredictable, but refurbishments are typically planned in advance. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad closed for refurbishment Certain rides seem to experience more technical issues than others, such as Rise of the Resistance and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. There have been times we’ve seen these rides close down multiple times in one day or for an entire day! Rise of the Resistance breaks down often Weather can also cause closures for rides that are located outside, such as Test Track and Slinky Dog Dash. Test Track closed due to rain Solution: Check Disney World’s refurbishment calendar before your visit. You may want to reschedule your trip if your favorite ride will be closed! Also, prioritize your favorite rides once you’re in the park. You never know when or if they may close so you’re better off getting in line for them as early as you can. What you should ride FIRST in Disney World! Crowds Big crowds can mean long lines, sold-out merchandise, packed walkways, and more — and they pretty much guarantee that you’ll spend a lot more time NOT doing the things you want to do. Crowds Solution: If crowds ruin your day, we recommend avoiding popular times to visit Disney World. That includes holidays, summertime, and common school breaks like Spring Break. Check the calendar before you book, and be mindful of peak visiting times. The Disney World problem you’re not thinking about — and how to fix it. Genie+ Genie+ is still fairly new to Disney World and we’re not lying when we say it’s REALLY complicated. This paid system has replaced the previous FastPass+ system, with Genie+ costing $15 per person, per day, and Individual Lightning Lanes costing between $7 to $15 for a select few of Disney World’s most popular rides. Disney Genie Genie+ can only be purchased on a daily basis and you can begin making Lightning Lane reservations at 7AM. Want to have a terrible Disney World day? Buy Genie+ and then miss your 7AM alarm. Genie+ reservations can go fast, especially for popular rides, and it can get worse for you if you miss your Lightning Lane window. You forfeit your reservation, and you won’t be able to re-book. Splash Mountain Lightning Lane Solution: Lower your expectations. Make sure you set that daily alarm. Prioritize your favorite rides or the rides that typically have the longest wait times, and read as much as you can about Genie+ BEFORE you step foot in Disney World. The ULTIMATE guide to Genie+ in Disney World. Technical Issues Having a smartphone in Disney World is practically a requirement at this point. You need it for the My Disney Experience app, Genie+, placing Mobile Orders, Mobile Checkout, checking ride wait times, maps, locations, and lots more. Mobile Checkout Your phone can die, overheat, or even get lost, and the My Disney Experience app can also glitch. There have been times we’ve been unable to use the app at all, which is extra annoying if you’re trying to book a Lightning Lane. ©Disney Solution: Always bring a backup battery for your phone and have a backup plan if the My Disney Experience app goes down completely. You can still order food at the counter or shop in the store, and you can speak to a Cast Member if the app is impacting your Genie+ Lightning Lane bookings. What to do when your phone dies in Disney World! Park Pass Reservation System Disney World requires Park Reservations for all visiting guests. Before you can get into a Disney Park, you need both a ticket AND a park pass for each day of your visit, and you need to reserve your pass in advance. You still have to make Park Pass Reservations to get in the parks! It’s important to know that park passes can sell out before you finish booking your Disney World trip, but it’s even worse to flat-out forget to book them only to get to Disney World and realize you can’t get into the parks. If you get to Disney World and all four parks are sold out, you can’t get into a park. Park Pass Reservations are still required Solution: Prioritize booking your park passes as soon as you finalize your plans. If you’re planning a trip during a popular time period, finalize your plans as far in advance as you can. Also, keep checking. Park pass reservations sometime fill up and then become available again. Rear more about the Disney Park Reservation System here! Weather If you’ve never lived in Florida you may be unaware of just how mercurial Florida weather can be. During hurricane season from July to November, an afternoon storm brews almost daily. Winter can be unpredictable too, with some days featuring unusually cold weather. It’s hard to prepare when one day of your trip will be 70 degrees while the next day is in the 50s! Rain in Hollywood Studios Solution: As your trip approaches, check the weather predictions before packing. If you’re visiting during hurricane season, plan on bringing rain-friendly clothes and shoes, along with umbrellas or ponchos. If you’re visiting in the winter, don’t assume coats are unnecessary! Check the weather BEFORE you get there. Check out one of the weirdest weather phenomena we’ve seen in Disney World! Transportation Problems If you’re using Disney World transportation, there can be plenty of complications. Your Disney World hotel may have a long internal bus loop, your method of transportation may close due to technical issues, and there could be a long line depending on the time of day. The Monorail goes down from time to time and neither boat transportation nor the Skyliner can operate when lightning is present. Monorail closed Solution: Have a backup transportation method in mind while visiting. In addition to Disney transportation, you can opt to use rideshare or a Minnie Van, and if you see lightning you can guess that the Skyliner will not be operating. A COMPLETE guide to taking the bus in Disney World. Rare Complications Just like anywhere else in the world, rare complications and emergencies can also happen in Disney World. Fire alarms, power outages, medical emergencies — they can and do happen, like the time a tree next to Cinderella Castle was on fire, leading fire trucks to come down Main Street, U.S.A.. Emergency vehicles in Magic Kingdom Solution: Always have a Plan B and make sure you bring your insurance card with you in case you need to see a doctor. Most importantly, be flexible. Things WILL go wrong, things will not go according to plan, and it’s best to roll with the punches. 11 items for almost any kind of Disney World emergency. Even if absolutely nothing goes to plan during your Disney World visit there’s no reason it has to be the worst day. Knowing how things work ahead of time is important to avoid complications and disappointment, and having a Plan B (and C…and D…) is a good idea. Whew. We know that planning a Disney World trip is A LOT. And this Genie+ thing can be so confusing – which is why we bring you posts like this so often. But we’ve also put together a complete guide in ebook format that gives you all of the info you need, all in one place!

Getting ready for a Disney trip can be stressful when you think of the long list of things you need to do before you go. Once you have the big things figured out like where you’re staying, which parks you’re going to on which days, and where you’re going to eat, you then have to think about what you’re going to wear! Disney World So, we’re going to help you out a bit by taking care of a more permanent part of your look — your nails! We’ve noticed in the past that a lot of you have asked about the fun Disney nails people on our team have. We gave you a breakdown of some of our favorite looks, and now we’re BACK with another new nail design for you to check out! You might’ve seen one of the latest nail trends online right now is inspired by Hailey Bieber — it’s the glazed donut look, so you know we had to hop on that (hello, glazed donut is literally in the NAME!). But, we Disney-fied it, of course. Glazed Donut Disney Nails This look is a pinkish nude polish with chrome… What do you think? …and then little white Mickeys on the thumb! Gotta add in some Mickey! We also threw in some little gemstones, because why not add even more sparkle?! A great neutral If you want something similar, Hailey Bieber’s original look used OPI Gel Color in Funny Bunny polish, and then it was topped with the OPI Chrome Effects in Tin Man Can. We’re a little obsessed Here’s a closer look!

We’re always looking for hidden gems in Disney World. Cinderella Castle Underrated snacks, hotels, restaurants — our mission is to find the best that Disney World has to offer. But…what about bathrooms? When ya gotta go, where can you find a cleaner, less crowded bathroom? Well, we’ve got a list for you — check out the secret bathrooms of Disney World! Storybook Circus In the back of Storybook Circus, there’s a bathroom that’s often overlooked. So overlooked, that most guests fail to notice it even exists. It’s tucked right next to the railroad. Storybook Circus Restrooms There’s sooooo much packed into this area of Magic Kingdom — Pete’s Silly Side Show, Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station, The Barnstormer, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant. It’s not hard to see why it’s rarely noticed! The Sweat-Proof Makeup We Wear to Disney Imagination Pavilion You can find another hidden bathroom over by Imagination Pavilion! To find it, you’ll want to head over to the right side of the building — it’s tucked right next to the pavilion. If you haven’t seen this bathroom before, you aren’t alone. It’s off the beaten path and requires some wandering to find on your own. (Hence, why many don’t know it exists!) Imagination Pavilion We’ve rarely ever seen a line over here. So, if you need to freshen up after a journey with Figment, this is a good spot to head to! Speaking of pavilions — what’s going on with the Play! Pavilion? Land Pavilion No, we’re not talking about the downstairs bathroom by Soarin’. Avoid it at all costs. We’re talking about the bathroom upstairs by the Garden Grill. Garden Grill Restaurant Since most guests run to the restroom downstairs, you’ll always want to use the one upstairs…even if it’s out of your way. Just trust us on this one. And while you’re over there, see if you can get a table at Garden Grill! Good food and close proximity to an empty bathroom? It doesn’t get much better than that. Is Garden Grill the same without its signature dish?! Theater in the Wild The Theater in the Wild bathroom is usually pretty empty…outside of showtimes, that is. This is the building that houses Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond. And since it’s pretty popular, you can only imagine how crowded the bathroom gets around shows. Theater in the Wild But this bathroom is pretty isolated, so it’s usually empty when shows aren’t actively taking place. With that in mind, hit up this bathroom when the theater is in-between shows! Check out the reimagined Finding Nemo Show at Theater in the Wild! Tomorrowland Terrace The Tomorrowland Terrace bathroom is another option in Magic Kingdom that’s rarely used by guests. That’s probably because the restaurant is currently only open for the park’s dessert parties! Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Take advantage of this “secret” bathroom while the quick-service restaurant is still unavailable! Now check out some of our favorite bathrooms at Disney World — but BEWARE, they may be CROWDED! And those are some of our favorite hidden bathrooms in Disney World!

Getting back into the work schedule after a weekend is never fun — we’re right there with you, wishing we could just curl up on the couch and ignore all of our responsibilities. Luckily, we found something today that might make your Monday morning a bit happier! Starbucks in Disney World! Disney frequently partners with Starbucks to create mugs, tumblers, and cups for all the Disney-loving coffee drinkers out there. Now, the newest cup is available online! You’ll want to hurry, though — we’re sure that this one will sell out quickly. The newest Disney x Starbucks cup is pastel pink with shiny polka dots all over it. Minnie Mouse would be very proud of this design. The rainbow reflections on the polka dots remind us of Disney World’s “ear”idescent color scheme for the 50th anniversary! So cute! We previously spotted this cup in Magic Kingdom (at the Emporium), but now you can order it online, so you don’t even need a park ticket to get one. It costs $29.99 online — the same price that we saw in the parks. New Starbucks Tumbler On one side of the cup is Mickey Mouse and the Walt Disney World logo, and the other side has the Starbucks logo. It has a screw-on lid and reusable straw as well.

Do we have any Haunted Mansion fans in the house? Haunted Mansion We love adding new Haunted Mansion merchandise to our collection and trying Haunted Mansion snacks in the parks when they’re available. And we’re really looking forward to the new movie coming out as well. Did you know there’s another special offering in Magic Kingdom for fans of Haunted Mansion, or more specifically, Madame Leota? Here’s how YOU can turn yourself into Madame Leota! In Magic Kingdom, you can purchase something called Timeless Crystal Moments. It’s offered by the Arribas Brothers, whose shop (Crystal Arts) has all kinds of beautiful crystal mementos. The brochure! This offering allows you to send in any photo you’d like (including a photo from your trip!) to their email and have it turned into a 3D image. Inside the brochure One of the options is that your photo can be turned into a 3D sphere for $225, and if you add on a light-up stand for $45 you become Madame Leota! You can also grab a larger 3D sphere for $275. You become Madame Leota! The Arribas Brothers might not have created this option specifically with Madame Leota in mind (there are lots of other choices for 3D images, like squares and diamonds), but we definitely think the image matches pretty perfectly when you opt for the sphere. Head to Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers (on Main Street, U.S.A.) to check it out! The larger sphere While you’re in Magic Kingdom, you can hop on the Monorail and head to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort to see a spooky Haunted Mansion display made of chocolate! Did you know a light-up Haunted Mansion chess set exists too? We think it’s a great holiday gift for the Haunted Mansion fan in your life.

If you’re as big a fan of Disney merchandise as we are, beware of this post. So. Much. Merch. While lots of Disney merchandise can be found in the parks, shopping online is an option if you won’t be visiting Disney anytime soon. Some big retail stores like Target and Walmart sell Disney items in their stores as well, and did you know HomeGoods is included in that list as well? If you didn’t, we suggest you run to HomeGoods now to grab some of the ADORABLE Disney merchandise we spotted! Cinderella fans, there’s PLENTY for you to shop! You can grab four Cinderella mugs held in their own organizer… We’re obsessed! …or a larger Cinderella and “A Dream Come True” mugs for your favorite beverages! You can never have too many mugs, right? If you’re looking for storage space for some of your sweet treats or baking supplies, this Cinderella Jar says “A Dream is a Wish” on one side with Cinderella herself, and “A Dream Come True” with Cinderella’s castle on the other. We think this Cinderella jar is perfect for cookies! We also spotted a similar jar that has the pumpkin carriage above “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!” on one side, and it was sitting next to a Frozen Mug! The blue mug itself reads “Worth Melting For” and has Olaf on the top — so cute! Cinderella and Frozen side by side! If you’re needing something to use to pour tea into your new mug, we spotted Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland Teapots as well. Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland Teapots! And tucked in a corner we found some white and red Captain Hook Mugs that Peter Pan fans will love. Peter Pan mugs! We suggest running to your local HomeGoods sooner rather than later because you never know when these items will be replaced or will sell out. While you’re in the shopping mood…have you checked our DFB exclusive graphic tees and merch? It’s super fun stuff to wear to the parks, or repping your happy place at the grocery store!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Whether you’re traveling to Disney World or something else, you’ll probably be spending some time in an airport. Terminal C at the Orlando Airport Airports aren’t necessarily the most fun or best places to be, especially if a flight gets delayed or canceled. Airports can also be costly, especially if you need to eat or accidentally forgot to pack something important. However, there are certain items you should never pay for in airports (and some you should). We’re breaking it all down for you. What You Should Never Pay For Okay, you know us and how we go on and on about free water at Disney World, so it should come as no surprise that we’re telling you not to pay for water at the airport. Although you can’t bring water from home through airport security, you can bring a water bottle — all airports have water fountains where you can fill your water bottle up after you get through security. Bring a water bottle Another thing you should NEVER buy in an airport is electronics like chargers, headphones, etc. You will pay FAR MORE for those items if you happen to forget to pack them. If you really need to purchase something like that, wait until you get to your destination and hit up a Walmart, Target, or other store and buy them there. ©Anker If you’re in for a long flight, a good neck pillow is always a good idea to bring, but you don’t want to buy one in an airport — you’ll pay a LOT more for that pillow than you would’ve if you’d just ordered it from Amazon and brought it with you. ©Amazon We know how tempting it is to buy souvenirs at the airport when you’re waiting for a flight, but DON’T DO IT. Those souvenirs are usually pretty cheesy, not unique, and you’ll end up paying way more for them at the airport than you would in a gift shop elsewhere. Magic of Disney Store at Orlando Airport If you’re flying internationally, you might think it’s convenient to exchange currency at the airport, but it’s not and you’ll end up paying a MUCH higher exchange rate than you think. If you need to have actual cash on you before you leave, go to your bank to exchange currency. Otherwise, wait until you get to your destination and use an ATM to get foreign currency — you’ll get a way better exchange rate that way. Flying internationally? Don’t exchange currency at the airport. Another thing that is going to cost you more at the airport is medicine and toiletries. Yes, we all tend to forget a few small things like that from time to time, but if you can wait until you get to your destination and hit up a store for those items, you’ll save some money. A better solution is to make a packing list that includes those items and check it twice before you leave! Be sure to pack these because they’re expensive at the airport You’ll also want to avoid buying luggage at the airport. Again, it’s going to cost you a lot more money there, and if it’s just a case of you needing an additional bag to bring home souvenirs (and yes, that happens a lot when we visit Disney World), just be sure to pack a collapsible bag in your luggage BEFORE you leave so you can use that for any extra stuff you buy. You can pack a duffel bag in your luggage for extra souvenirs However, there are some things that you SHOULD buy in the airport, so let’s look at those! Go INSIDE the Orlando Airport’s NEW Terminal C With Us What You Should Pay For Okay, so you’ve seen the duty-free shops at the airport, right? Well, go ahead and stop by one of those duty-free shops because you can find great duty-free makeup, cosmetics, and perfume that include products you can’t find easily anywhere else. You might also discover that the big brand names for these products are less expensive here. Don’t forget to check out the duty-free shops Okay, so we won’t ALWAYS recommend getting food in the airport, but sometimes we WILL say you should get food in the airport. If that’s confusing, bear with us. First, if you’re hungry, you’re likely to find better food in an airport than on a plane. Also, some airports have some great local restaurants you’ll want to check out — for example, you can find Polite Pig locations INSIDE Orlando International Airport and a Wine Bar George spot is coming soon. ©Wine Bar George Local Items Upon occasion, you may find some local items or foods in an airport that you can’t find anywhere else. For example, we’ve seen Wondermade Marshmallows in Orlando International Airport. If you happen to be lucky enough to fly to Paris, you’ll find an entire Laduree (yes, as in the macarons) location inside the airport. Wondermade Marshmallows If you have a long delay, layover, or just need to get away from the chaos of the airport for a while, an Airport Lounge Day Pass could be just the thing you’ll need to make it through the day. This will give you access to a quiet environment where you can sit in comfortable chairs, charge your devices, eat some free snacks, drinks some free drinks, and even take a nap. ©Oneworld Lounge The day pass might be pricey, but considering all the amenities you get (plus free food and drinks), it’s absolutely worth it. Orlando Airport Ranked in Top 3 for Most Delays This Summer — Learn More Here Before you fly to Disney World (or anywhere else, for that matter), be sure to check out your destination’s cancelation policies (we’ve outlined all of Disney’s policies here). Delays and cancelations are more frequent these days, so knowing how that will affect your trip is important. If you are flying to Disney World and your flight gets canceled, we’ve outlined what you need to do next here.

BOO to you! It’s spooky season in Disney World! Halloween in Disney World There are just a few short weeks left until Halloween, but Disney has been celebrating for a while now. We’ve been making our way around the parks and hotels trying new treats and people have been enjoying Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party, which is now sold out. Speaking of those Halloween treats, another one just arrived in Disney World and we tried it — follow along with us! We’re headed to the hotel that is a Disney foodie’s paradise — Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! Over at Pineapple Lanai, the spot where you can grab a Dole Whip, is now serving up the Not-So-Scary Pumpkin Soft Serve. SpoooOOOoooOOOky! It’s here! The treat is made with pumpkin spice flavored soft-serve and coconut haupia with caramel drizzle, graham cracker crumbs, and a white chocolate Mickey-shaped pumpkin. In case you didn’t know, haupia is a Hawaiian coconut pudding. Let’s see how it tastes! Hello there! We really enjoyed this one! The pumpkin ice cream was so flavorful, but it wasn’t overwhelming. There are many ingredients in this treat, but this was our favorite part. We think even people who don’t love pumpkin will like the soft serve because the fall spices were the main event here. We also thought the caramel drizzle on top was a nice touch — we just wanted MORE of it! Pumpkin Soft-Serve The white chocolate Mickey on top was fine, but nothing special. Just your typical white chocolate topper from Disney. White chocolate Mickey As cute as this treat is, it did have some flaws for us. We thought the haupia was an odd thing to mix with the pumpkin ice cream. We weren’t a fan of the texture, so if different textures bother you, you probably won’t like that part of the treat. We also weren’t a huge fan of the graham crackers only because when the ice cream melted (which is inevitable in Florida), the crackers got a bit soggy. A new pumpkin treat We’ve had other pumpkin soft serve in the past like this one from Auntie Gravity’s in Magic Kingdom and we seem to be impressed by most of them! http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/mnsshp_2019_candyCornSundae5-450x600.jpgPumpkin Spice Soft-Serve Sundae If you want to give this a try, you can head to Pineapple Lanai and grab it for $5.49. It’ll be available until October 31st AKA Halloween! Looking for a different spooky activity? Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit is now available in EPCOT! You can hunt for different themed pumpkins around World Showcase and win a prize. We tried it out and it was pretty fun — check it out here!

Planning a trip to Disney World? We’d love to help you out! Magic Kingdom There are a few things you should NOT forget to do before you leave. Make sure you’ve got all the Park Pass Reservations that you need, and take a look at our packing guide so that you don’t forget any essentials. And one more thing! Be sure to look at this list of everything that’ll be CLOSED at the parks and hotels for the coming week — you don’t want to be caught off guard by unexpected closures! A quick note before we dive into the closures: Have you checked out our line of graphic tees? We’ve designed some for the whole family – from infants to adults. Click here to check them out! Ready to ride! Now that you’re ready with the perfect Disney shirts, check out our full list of what’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World this week. Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World Railroad The years-long closure of the Walt Disney World Railroad is continuing in Magic Kingdom this week. Disney still hasn’t announced when it might reopen. Still no train! Although we’ve heard some train testing in the park, it’s possible that the railroad will remain closed until construction wraps up on the TRON: Lightcycle Run coaster over in Tomorrowland. This project (which has interrupted some parts of the railroad tracks) should be finished in the spring of 2023. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. Another area that’s been impacted by the TRON construction is the Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. gift shop. It looks like Disney is working on some refurbishments both inside and outside this shop. Tomorrowland Light & Power construction Disney hasn’t announced yet when Light & Power will reopen. Guests exiting Space Mountain usually leave through this shop, but they’re being redirected to exit a different way. Enchanted Tales with Belle Another spot that is still closed is Enchanted Tales with Belle. This character meet-and-greet attraction is where you could previously help Belle tell the story of Beauty and the Beast. Belle Sometimes Belle is still here meeting guests, but the full attraction hasn’t returned yet, and Disney hasn’t said when it might be back. Pete’s Silly Sideshow Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy previously greeted guests while wearing their circus performer outfits at Pete’s Silly Sideshow. Pete’s Silly Sideshow This location is still closed now, but Disney has said that it will reopen sometime “in the coming months.” Meet Ariel at Her Grotto And one more character meet-and-greet spot is still closed: Ariel’s Grotto. The Little Mermaid is unavailable for meet-and-greets for now, but you can still take a ride on Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid, which is located nearby. Ariel’s Grotto Disney hasn’t said when Ariel will return to her grotto. Check out some NEW drinks at Magic Kingdom here. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Voyage of the Little Mermaid Another Little Mermaid attraction that’s currently closed is the Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show. Voyage of the Little Mermaid Disney hasn’t commented on this show’s closure at all, so we don’t know when or if it will reopen. Fantasmic! We’ve got better news for fans of Fantasmic! This show is going to reopen sometime this year, and Cast Member rehearsals have already begun. Fantasmic banner Although we don’t have a specific reopening date for Fantasmic!, we know that it’ll have to be soon if Disney is going to meet its 2022 deadline. There are NEW treats at Hollywood Studios — see them here. EPCOT Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360 Canada Far & Wide is a film that’s shown in a huge 360-degree theater. But right now, that theater is being used by the Appleseed Orchard Food & Wine Festival booth. Instead of a movie, you’ll find all kinds of apple-flavored drinks at this spot. Canada Far & Wide We’re expecting Canada Far & Wide to return after the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival ends on November 19th. American Adventure Pavilion The American Adventure show in EPCOT’s World Showcase is still closed. American Adventure Disney hasn’t said when this show could reopen, but we heard from a Cast Member that the closure was just for some routine refurbishments on the animatronics, so hopefully it doesn’t stay closed for too long. Check out the ultimate 1-day plan for EPCOT. Disney World Hotels Kona Café — Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Kona Café is still temporarily closed at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, but it’ll reopen on November 1st, 2022 with an “enhanced table-service experience.” You can make reservations now if you want to visit once it reopens! Kona Cafe is closed In the meantime, you can still grab food from Kona Café by using the My Disney Experience app to Mobile Order breakfast, lunch, and dinner from Kona Café To-Go. You’ll pick up your food right next to Kona Island. Narcoossee’s — Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, the seafood restaurant Narcoossee’s is also temporarily closed. This restaurant closed back in July of this year. Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Narcoossee’s will reopen sometime in 2023 with an “enhanced table-service experience.” See 7 things you should NEVER do in a Disney World hotel.

Although a holiday weekend isn’t a guarantee for large crowds in Disney World, it does make it more likely. What are crowds like this weekend? On previous holiday weekends, we’ve seen everything from large crowds to small crowds that surprised us. With Monday being a holiday, though, we have to wonder — what are the crowds like right now? Well, let’s find out! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Over in Animal Kingdom, we found a LOT of people at the entrance getting ready to enter the park. Yep, it looks like things might be pretty busy this weekend. Entrance Even early in the morning, the wait time for Flight of Passage was already at 135 minutes. A long wait early in the morning However, over in DinoLand, U.S.A., the wait for Dinosaur wasn’t so bad — it was only 30 minutes. Not too bad over here Let’s see what things looked like in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom Over in Magic Kingdom, there were SUPER long lines for the Monorail from the Transportation & Ticket Center. It took a while to get on the Monorail this morning Things didn’t look a lot better once we entered the park and started our trek down Main Street, U.S.A. Pretty busy Heading towards the castle, it started feeling really crowded. Of course, once crowds disperse throughout the park a bit, this could change. Lots of people! Lines for food could be long, too — this is what the line for the Spring Roll Cart looked like this morning. We also saw a huge backup of Mobile Orders over at Pecos Bill. Want spring rolls? Expect to wait So if you’re heading to Disney World this holiday weekend, we recommend taking advantage of early theme park entry if you have access to that, as well as considering purchasing Disney Genie+ to skip the long standby lines and use the ride’s Lightning Lane. If it still feels crowded at the parks, we have put together a survival guide to help you maximize your time in Disney World on crowded days.
