Exciting new announcements and updates on some of our most highly anticipated projects around the world are being shared during Sunday’s “A Boundless Future: Disney Parks, Experiences and Products” presentation at D23 Expo 2022 - and we’re covering it all LIVE here on the Disney Parks Blog!View the full article

Disney World can be VERY busy, but there are better times to visit than others! Hollywood Studios For example, in late August and early September, we’ve been seeing very low crowds in the parks. But, we’re sure to see things pick up again as we get closer to the holidays! If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’ll definitely need to take into account the month you’re visiting and the pros and cons that come with that time of year. We reached out to some Disney fans to see what they think is the WORST month to visit Disney World — let’s take a look at what they said! Summer Months The most popular answer by FAR was the summer months, specifically July and August. The main reason for this answer seemed to be due to the combination of the heat and the crowds. It’s true, we do typically see very high crowds and temperatures in July and in the beginning of August, but crowds tend to get lower at the end of August as kids go back to school. Crowds entering Magic Kingdom in July One person said, “July and August. I’ve never been during those months but I have heard enough times that it’s ridiculously hot, that I will never go. I can barely handle the heat in early May!” A few people also added that people in July and August are “cranky” due to the heat. July in Disney World The possibility of bad weather was brought up as well, with one person mentioning August in particular, saying “August. Summer crowds and heat, no special holidays or major events going on. And the possibility of serious weather events (I’m looking at you, Hurricane Charley).” ©The National Hurricane Center One person compared July to “walking on the surface of the sun” and another said “It’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.” But, June wasn’t off the hook either — another person said “Made the mistake of thinking early June would be okay…what a mistake! It was brutally hot. Even at night. At EPCOT the pavement literally radiated the heat at night. Will NEVER go in the summer again. I can manage with crowds but not the heat!!!” EPCOT in June Another Disney fan warned that even with proper preparation, July was unmanageable in Disney World. They said “The damage done to my body by the heat last month (July) took me at least 2 weeks to get over. And I broke in shoes, upped my walking in advance, and hydrated like crazy.” Yikes! The heat is no joke. Magic Kingdom in July Speaking of walking in the heat, one person said “We had a resort that was walking distance to a park and it was a miserable walk, even at 8AM…May through September are definitely off the table for our future visits…I’ll take crowds any day over sweating through two sets of clothes every day.” BoardWalk And, since summer technically ends in September, it also got some backlash. One person mentioned that the humidity during that month is “brutal.” These Will Be the Hardest Disney World Dining Reservations to Get in 2023 November & December The months that have popular holidays in them were also a common answer. The most frequently mentioned were around Christmas. One person said they “wouldn’t want to go the week between Christmas and New Year’s because of how crowded it is.” Hollywood Studios Christmas Decorations One person even went as far as saying they would “never go again in December” while another wrote off the months altogether, saying the worst months to visit are between November 1st and January 10th. Yep, that’s usually when the holiday crowds are in the parks! Disney Enchantment during the holidays in 2021 Another person said “Christmas week is really bad. Extremely overcrowded. And too cold for us Floridians.” Believe it or not, it CAN actually get kind of chilly in the winter at Disney World! What to Do If You Can’t Get the Disney World Hotel Reservation You Wanted Other A few other miscellaneous instances were mentioned a few times as well, like someone saying “I don’t avoid months, I avoid school holidays and school group events.” Watch out for those times of the year when everyone is off of school, like during Spring Break! Spring Break Crowds at the Magic Kingdom One person mentioned February as the worst month due to the cheerleading competitions that happen at Disney World. They said “We stayed at (All Star) Sports & there were cheerleaders everywhere (rookie mistake lol) and the weather was so crazy. 70/80s during the day but then dropped to the 40s at night. We were definitely unprepared! Still a magical trip like always but I would say that I would think twice before booking in February again.” Yeah, you’ll definitely want to pay attention to when there are major sporting events happening at Disney World! ESPN Wide World of Sports Finally, a few people said there’s actually not a worst month to visit Disney World. One person said “None! It’s always a good time to be at Disney World. IT’S DISNEY WORLD! Just enjoy!” and another wrote “There is no such thing, any month is great to me.” That’s the spirit! What to Do When Your Phone Dies in Disney World Really it will depend on how prepared you are for hot weather, rain, and crowds. Lines might be longer if you visit during a more crowded season, which may mean you have a harder time tackling everything you wanted to do on your vacation. Our friends over at Small World Vacations can help you figure out what time of the year is best for your family not only based on crowds and weather but based on your budget and prices as well. We have documented the cheapest days you can visit Disney World in 2023 and the most expensive days you can visit in 2023. But they will also be able to look at your budget and see what really works best for you and your group!

Disney character meet-and-greets and other experiences could be changing in a BIG way…literally! Think about the possibilities! We’ve seen some incredible technology already in use in Disney World and some amazing technology potentially on the way. From an animatronic of Spider-Man that can actually fly through the sky to figures that have incredibly real movements, we’ve seen some great things already, but recently we got a closer look at one major project that could change character meet-and-greets forever. If you’ve never heard about Project EXO, then you are missing out. Back in 2021, Disney released a video showing some Imagineering tech that could support some HUGE character interactions. Essentially, Disney revealed that it has been working on some things that could bring oversized characters to life. Anyone getting Yeti vibes here? Later in 2021, at a D23 event, Disney shared a true first look at this tech. With Project EXO, Disney has developed technology that has pneumatic assist at key joint areas. With this tech, the weight of the exoskeleton goes to the legs so the performer doesn’t have to bear all of the weight on their own shoulders or backs. They’ve also been working on 3D printing muscles to make for some really realistic character encounters. That is going to be one TALL character This could change the game when it comes to meeting really large characters in a larger-than-life type of way. That’s why we were pumped that we got the chance to see some of this up close at the D23 Expo! In an exhibit from Walt Disney Imagineering’s research and development team, we got a closer peek at Project EXO! So Cool! While there, the Cast Member explained that they have been working on 3D printing musculature. The examples behind the Cast Member actually show the evolution of the muscles from things that sort of worked to more of the end product. How Neat When you combine this with some of the other tech they’ve been working on to bring large characters to life, you get Project EXO. The Cast Member there shared that Disney is really excited about how this project will enable them to bring large-costumed characters into the parks in the future. Project EXO Which characters specifically? Well, the Cast Member said there were TOO many to name! What do you think? Will this end up being the starting point for a huge Hulk meet-and-greet? Or maybe a yeti outside of the Matterhorn or Expedition Everest? Who knows!? Another Peek The exhibit from Imagineering also showed off some stuntronics prototypes and other work for that area. Stickman For the Win Essentially, these were some of the building blocks for what eventually became the flying Spider-Man stuntronic fans can see at Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure Park. It’s So Cool to See These in Person That’s just a taste of some of the neat technology Disney has been working on. If you’re curious to know what the future of the parks might hold, check out our full post about the patents and permits that could be hiding some of Disney’s BIGGEST announcements. We’ll be covering EVERYTHING you need to know about this year’s D23 Expo, and we have a feeling there will be a lot in store. We’ve already heard about a NEW Tiana restaurant, gotten a peek at the NEW Tiana ride that’ll take over Splash Mountain, and seen the Walt Disney statue coming to EPCOT. Plus, we’ve checked out the massive Te Fiti figure coming to the Moana attraction in EPCOT and learned about a new Tiana-themed store coming to Disneyland soon. And the Expo hasn’t even officially kicked off yet! So Beautiful It’s going to be a wild ride for the next few days, so be sure to check back with us for ALL the updates!

Welp, D23 Expo is finally here! The D23 Expo is here! It’s going to be HUGE this year — we’re ready for some BIG announcements from panels about Disney movies, TV shows, and parks! At the same time, we’re enjoying all the fun costumes, as well as checking out Walt Disney’s plane, all the exclusive merchandise, and all the exhibits. So let’s take a “Step In Time” into the Walt Disney Archives exhibit at the Expo! The “Step In Time” exhibit features iconic costumes and props from Disney movies and TV shows! There’s even a prop that all Disney Channel kids will need to see (we’ll get to that in a bit). Let’s go take a look! This is a standalone exhibition specifically for the 2022 D23 Expo. It showcases just how much history is available in the Walt Disney Archives from the past 100 years! Let’s take a look at what’s at the exhibit. Steamboat Willie The exhibit has different sections for different parts of Disney history, and it starts out with Steamboat Willie, which was the first appearance of Mickey Mouse! You can even step inside the famous steamboat. So cool! This cartoon premiered in 1928 — almost 100 years ago! Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first fully animated feature that Disney ever made, and there are a bunch of cool things from the film here. The Dwarfs! There’s even a program from the movie premiere that happened in Hollywood! Original Program And, you can see a Snow White costume! Amazing! The first Disney princess, everybody. Disneyland Disneyland was of course a HUGE project for the Walt Disney Company, and it opened all the way back in 1955. Disneyland Section You can check out more info about the park as well as some displays and old artifacts. Things from Disneyland It’s really wild to see just how far things have come! Mary Poppins Mary Poppins was another big movie for Disney back in 1964, and you can see her original costume here! Wow! There are also some horses from the carousel in the movie… So pretty! …and some penguins! Love them Really bringing out the “step in time” to the exhibit with the same name! Haunted Mansion Okay, folks — this is really cool if you’re a Disney Parks fan. There are a TON of original props from the Haunted Mansion! EEEK! We’re not going to lie, some things here are pretty creepy. Like, the eyes on this iconic portrait… It’s watching you… …and the BRIDE! Okay, we’re going to have nightmares now. OMG! These props are very cool, though. Disney history And hey — it’ll get you in the perfect spooky spirit for Halloween! A ghost will follow you home! Definitely go check them out if you have the chance! TRON There is a section showing props from the 1982 TRON movie, too! TRON And, you can even see some of the arcade games that were made for the movie. Whoa! Looks a little bit different than what we’ve been seeing about the new TRON ride in Disney World! Tracy 1990’s Tracy has a part of the exhibit, which showcases some of the costumes from the movie. Look at the costumes! The movie came out in 1990, but was set in the 1930s, so it has a fun look to it. Disney Channel Okay, Disney Channel fans — there are a bunch of fun things for you at this exhibit! First, you can actually step inside a giant TV, pick up a glowing wand, and do the iconic “Hi, I’m *insert your name* from *insert your favorite show* and you’re watching Disney Channel!” Then, trace the Mickey Mouse head! This is what dreams are made of. SO COOL There are also a bunch of costumes from Disney Channel movies and TV shows, like Hannah Montana… The best of both worlds …Wizards of Waverly Place… Who remembers this?! …The Suite Life of Zack and Cody… London’s outfit …High School Musical… Chad and Sharpay’s outfits …and Camp Rock! Mitchie and Shane’s outfits Do you see any of your favorites? Star Wars There is also a section for Star Wars! Disney officially acquired the franchise in 2012, so you know they had to include some iconic droids in the exhibit. Hi, friends! This is an amazing exhibition, but next year, there will be a separately launching exhibition that celebrates even broader aspects of the company and history for the 100th year anniversary of The Walt Disney Company. Coming next year! If you happen to be at D23 Expo, be sure to stop by the exhibit and check it out for yourself. These aren’t things you get to see every day after all (seriously, y’all, that WAND). If you can’t make it to D23 Expo, don’t worry — you can still watch many of the biggest panels ONLINE — you can find the full schedule here. We’ll also keep you updated on all the news coming out of the D23 Expo, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!

Securing the dining reservations you want during your Disney vacation can feel a bit like an extreme sport at times. Trattoria al Forno One of the biggest and busiest times of the year at Disney World is the holiday season. The parks are packed, and people are trying to make dining reservations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. If you’ll be heading to Disney World for Christmas this year, we’ve got a few tips and tricks to getting the dining reservations you need. Book As Soon As You Can Dining reservations open 60 days prior to the day you want to dine. So, if you’re looking for a dining reservation for Christmas Eve (December 24th), then you can make a dining reservation on October 25th. If you’re looking for a dining reservation on Christmas Day (December 25th), then your reservation window will open on October 26th. Magic Kingdom holiday decorations If you are staying for a longer period of time (say you’ll arrive in Disney World on December 20th and will be there until December 30th), you can make dining reservations for the entire trip 60 days from the first day of your trip. So for this imaginary trip, you could make your dining reservations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day beginning on October 19th, which gives you a few-day head start over groups that may not be arriving so early. Click here to see everything to consider before making Disney World dining reservations! Manage Your Expectations We recommend knowing what you want and trying to get a reservation at that preferred restaurant for your preferred time, but it’s also important to have managed expectations and to be flexible, too. Christmas Tree at the Grand Floridian If you want to have Christmas Eve dinner at California Grill at 6PM, go for it — but you should be aware that it’s possible by the time you’re able to reserve dining, that reservation may not be available anymore. However, there could be a reservation available at 8:30PM, or for a different restaurant at 6PM. That’s why you should be flexible and open to exploring other options. California Grill If there’s a restaurant that you just HAVE to eat at on Christmas Day, be flexible with timing. Would eating there at lunch work instead of for dinner? What about a Christmas breakfast instead? If you keep an open mind, it’s more likely you’ll reach a favorable outcome. Click here to see what the hardest Disney World dining reservations to get will be in 2023! Keep Checking We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: plans change. If you can’t get the dining reservation you want right when the dining reservation period opens, don’t lose hope. Some popular restaurants, like Oga’s Cantina, for example, fill up fast as soon as reservations drop, but then as people decide they don’t actually want to eat there, or they decide not to go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios that day, they change their plans and cancel the reservation. Oga’s Cantina can be a hard reservation to get! We see this happen a lot the day before reservations because Disney charges a $10 per person cancellation fee for no-shows and reservations canceled within 24 hours of the meal, so you could score a great reservation the day before you dine! Click here to see the easiest ways to modify a Disney World dining reservation! Come Prepared With Choices If you’re trying to have a specific meal on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day (like if you are specifically looking for a reservation for Christmas Eve dinner, for example), then we recommend coming up with a list of restaurant options beforehand. 50’s Prime Time Cafe Sit down with your group and field suggestions. Once you have a list of all of the restaurants you’d be willing to eat at for that Christmas Eve dinner, rank them. Now you have a ranking for when you try to make your dining reservations. If you can’t get your first, move on to the second, then the third, etc., until all options have been exhausted. Click here to see what to do when your phone dies in Disney World! Try Different Approaches Disney World dining reservations can be made online at the Disney World website, or in the My Disney Experience app. Some guests report having more success with one or the other, so you can practice with both or just have both open and available to you when it’s time to book your reservation. Garden Grill Restaurant Some also suggest that, when you go to make the reservation, you put in a specific time rather than just a meal period. You can search for reservations by breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but you can also search by time. Again, this may just be personal anecdotes, but some say that it’s easier to find the reservation you’re looking for if you narrow it down by time. ©Disney When you search by time, Disney will show you open reservations about an hour and a half before and after the time you put in, as well. Click here to see 18 Disney World secrets even locals don’t know! Know What’s Popular Another way you can prepare yourself is to know what’s popular. There are some, like Oga’s Cantina, that are popular year-round, but others become more popular during the holidays. Liberty Tree Tavern, for example, is a popular choice inside Magic Kingdom because of its Thanking/holiday-inspired food. Liberty Tree Tavern Another popular choice is California Grill. This year, you’ll be able to dine on the prix fixe 50th Anniversary menu while getting stunning views of Magic Kingdom. And, of course, there’s Minnie’s Hollywood Dine over at Hollywood & Vine where you can catch some of the characters all dressed up for the holidays. Mickey Mouse at Minnie’s Holiday Dine For the most part, the popular restaurants during the holidays are the usual suspects and the ones that are popular during other times of the year, as well. Click here to see 3 terrifyingly easy ways to ruin your Disney World vacation! If you’re heading to Disney World this holiday season, be prepared for some beautiful decorations and holiday touches, but also some busy parks and hard-to-get dining reservations! With these tips, you’re on your way to a successful holiday meal, but, as always, there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get the reservation you want. The 2022 holidays in Disney World mark a special occasion as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will be returning to Magic Kingdom for the first time since 2019. You can check out the full list of dates and prices for the party here.

It has been QUITE A NIGHT! We’ve had so many fun announcements come out of the D23 Expo already — from updates on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to the unveiling of the new EPCOT statue of Walt, we’ve already had a blast and there’s so much more to come! One BIG announcement was the opening of a brand new Tiana-themed store coming to Disneyland — Eudora’s Chic Boutique. And now we have an opening date! Eudora’s Chic Boutique Eudora’s Chic Boutique, according to the backstory, grew out of the huge success of Tiana’s Palace — a restaurant created by the Princess herself! This shop will sell a variety of accessories to create and serve New Orleans-inspired cuisine…including ingredients! Yep — Eudora’s will sell a brand new line of spices and sauces created by Tiana for use in her own cooking at the restaurant. Imagineers have been hard at work researching and learning in New Orleans to create the perfect panoply of goods to sell in the shop. We can’t wait to see what’s for sale. Eudora’s Chic Boutique Signage And luckily — we won’t have to wait that long! Eudora’s Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets will open in just a few days! September 20, 2022, will be this shop’s official opening date! We’ll be there bringing you all the details (and probably buying every single sauce…can’t stop won’t stop). Stay tuned for that, and for lots more from the D23 Expo! If we’re getting this much news during the media preview, imagine what’s coming down the pike for the weekend! AAAAAAAH!

One area of Disneyland is going through a HUGE transformation. See ya soon! Mickey’s Toontown closed back in March in Disneyland Park for a complete reimagining, and we’ve heard all about the new details as well as that the area may be expected to reopen in 2023. Now we have a few MORE updates thanks to the D23 Expo, and here’s what you need to know! Toontown is expected to reopen in Disneyland in early 2023, and it will include all kinds of new features and interactive spaces. Toontown details At the D23 Expo, we got to see a model of Toontown (including the new Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway!), and we also heard some interesting new details. Model of Toontown The reimagining of Toontown will introduce the brand new Good Boy! Grocers farmers market as a space to get all kinds of grab-and-go eats, and Cafe Daisy will be the combination of three previous quick service spots, including Daisy’s Diner. Good Boy! Grocers and Cafe Daisy You can see what Good Boy! Grocers will look like here… Good Boy! Grocers …and here’s where Cafe Daisy will be! Cafe Daisy If you’ve ever been to Goofy’s House in Toontown in the past, it was mostly a play area for young kiddos, but the NEW Goofy’s House (known as the How-To-Play Yard) will become a fun interactive “candy kitchen” because it’s all about him making candy for his pals! (Note that no real candy will actually be involved.) Goofy’s House Here’s what Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard will look like! Goofy’s House The nearby Donald’s Duck Pond brings even more interactive elements to Toontown, like spinning water lilies and balance beams. Donald’s Duck Pond And the opening of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will take place at the El CapiTOON Theater, where the “Perfect Picnic” short will be shown to riders. There will also be a special exhibit “created by the Toontown Hysterical Society” that showcases life in the Toon world. El CapiTOON Theater If you want to check out the center of Toontown you’ll find yourself in CenTOONial Park, where “fountain features and water tables” will provide interactive elements for everyone to enjoy. CenTOONial Park We can’t wait to see Toontown reopened! More to see! Keep following along with us as we check out all the news from the D23 Expo from September 9th to the 10th so that you don’t miss a single big Disney announcement!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will soon be taking over the Splash Mountain rides at both Disneyland and Disney World. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure We’ve shared concept art, details about a NEW Tiana restaurant(!), and even a FIRST LOOK at the new ride. But now we’ve got MORE Tiana-inspired news! In addition to a Tiana-inspired restaurant, those over at Disneyland will get some extra Tiana fun when Eudora’s Chic Boutique opens up! We got to see details about this new merchandise shop at the D23 Expo in the Disney Parks and Experiences’ Wonderful World of Dreams booth. A New Shop Is on Its Way! The full name of the shop is Eudora’s Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets! According to the story, Tiana’s Palace (the new restaurant coming to New Orleans Square in Disneyland) opened up and quickly became a meeting place. Tiana then used her success to support surrounding neighborhoods. Disney shared that after Tiana opened her restaurant, they expanded into essentially creating or helping the creation of more community-owned businesses — that’s where Eudora’s Boutique comes in! Some of the Story The store is owned by Eudora, which for those who may not remember, is actually Princess Tiana’s mom! As the name indicates, it’ll sell a line of merchandise that will feature Tiana’s very own spices and sauces. We Can’t Wait to See It Disney’s concept art shows a shop full of different little knick-knacks, so we can’t wait to see what other items become available here. A Look Inside the Shop According to the story of this shop and the surrounding area, all of the spices are actually “grown” within the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride. See the Spices?! In the model of the ride that was on display, you can see some spices and other plants “growing” there. They Are SO Detailed More concept art reveals the area where Eudora’s Chic Boutique will be located. Eudora’s Chic Boutique In one depiction, you can see what appears to be the sign for the store above those green “35” doors, and on the yellow wall to the right you’ll see one of the iconic phrases from The Princess and The Frog — “blue skies and sunshine guaranteed!” More Concept Art As it stands, this is just concept art that has been revealed so far, but we’re excited to see how things develop and get a look at the finalized store once it opens in Disneyland. Keep in mind that the re-themed version of Splash Mountain will not reopen as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure until 2024. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure We’ll continue to look for more updates and share those details with you. In the meantime, you can click here to see more details about the Tiana-themed restaurant or click here to get a first look at the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride.

For months we have watched the gradual progress being made at the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction coming to EPCOT, but now we have BIG news! Journey of Water Concept Art © Disney We’ve already shared a look at the Moana carving coming to the attraction, an updated look at construction in the area, and more. But at Disney’s D23 Expo, a MASSIVE structure coming to the attraction was revealed and we’ve got a first look at it right here for you! During the D23 Expo, we got the chance to get a preview of the Walt Disney Parks & Experiences booth that will be on the show floor for all D23 Expo guests to visit. The booth is called The Wonderful World of Dreams and within it, you’ll find details about a Tiana’s Place Restaurant(!!), sneak peeks at new rides coming to the Disney parks, and more. ©D23 Among the many things in this space is a look at the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction. Specifically, we got to see a beautiful Te Fifi model that is inspiring the giant Te Fiti figure that will actually be part of the attraction. WOW! According to the display information, the Imagineering team worked with Disney Animation to finalize her pose and size. How Incredible! It all started with some clay models that eventually made their way into Te Fiti’s more final form. We Can’t Wait to See It All Finalized The figure there on display at the D23 Expo was created by a team of Imagineers to inform the creation of the final Te Fifi figure that’ll be featured within the attraction. That final figure will actually be around 15′ tall(!!) and will be made of over 3,000 pieces of foliage. That Is a LOT of Foliage! Here’s an idea of just how LARGE this figure may be. Keep in mind that this is an artist’s concept and things can change. Umm…Yeah, Pretty Huge! Isn’t she just gorgeous though?! So Beautiful In terms of where she will be within the attraction, she’ll be closer to the bottom left in the concept art below. Concept Art We can’t wait to learn more about this attraction and see it in its final form. Be sure to stay tuned for all the latest updates from the D23 Expo!
