Next year will bring the return of many things and the start of several new things in the Disney parks. Disneyland We’ve already shared news about several different entertainment options that will be coming back to Disneyland in 2022, how select California Residents can save on tickets in 2022 to the Happiest Place on Earth, and more updates. But, now we’ve got news about another thing that will be returning to the parks and a NEW offering that will be available in 2022! First, if you’ll be visiting Disneyland next year and are a big fan of the Mickey’s Mix Magic nighttime show, you’re in luck! Mickey’s Mix Magic will be BACK in Disneyland for a limited time starting on January 10th. The show features projections, lasers, fireworks (on select nights), and more. The show returned to Disneyland in July of this year, but currently the holiday fireworks are being shown. Fans of Mickey’s Mix Magic can look forward to the return of this show next year. Mickey’s Mix Magic But we think the most exciting announcement Disney has recently made is actually about a NEW limited-time party experience fans can arrange to take place INSIDE Disneyland park. “Celebrate! In Mickey’s Toontown” is a special private party families can schedule to take place at Mickey’s house in Mickey’s Toontown. In one post, Disney mentions that this is an experience where “young families can create special memories.” ©Disneyland Parties can be scheduled between January 19th, 2022 and March 6th, 2022. They are available for groups of up to 10 people. During the Celebrate! In Mickey’s TownTown event, you’ll get the chance to celebrate your special occasion by: Decorating cupcakes Playing games and doing crafts (“designed to delight little ones and grown-ups alike”) And more! You Could Have a Party in Toontown! You’ll also get a PhotoPass opportunity with Mickey Mouse and quicker access to Gadget Go Coaster! The private party lasts 90 minutes. You’ll get complimentary downloads of the Disney PhotoPass digital photos taken during your event. Mickey Welcomes You Into His Home! According to Disney, you can leave all of the party planning to them. They’ll “create a magical celebration brimming with fun for all ages—including coloring, crafts and cupcake decorating.” But, partying at Mickey’s house isn’t free. The cost for the party is $350 per group. Gratuity is not included or required. If you bring 10 people, that breaks down to just $35 per person though — not bad! Payment is due at the time of booking, so just keep that in mind. Welcome to Toontown! Here are a few things to keep in mind: There is a limit of 10 guests in total (that includes infants). At least 1 person has to be 18 years or older and has to accompany all kinds for the duration of the experience Strollers have to be parked outside Mickey’s House The party is wheelchair accessible If you have special dietary needs, be sure to reach out to Disney when you arrive A private party at Mickey’s House? Yeah, sounds like a pretty cool idea to us! Be sure to reach out to Disneyland for more information about this experience. Toontown If you’re planning on visiting Disneyland in 2022, you could take advantage of some of these special offerings. If you do see the Mix Magic show or host a private party in Mickey’s House, be sure to leave us a comment below and tell us about your experience! And check back with us for more updates.

If you’re planning to visit Disney World, you might be thinking of using Disney transportation during your trip. Monorail Time One of the most beloved forms of transportation is the Disney World Monorail. The monorail is iconic, fun, and convenient. But, the monorail isn’t perfect. It can experience technical issues and go “down” for extended periods. Today, we got caught in the middle of a technical issue with one monorail line that caused us quite the delay. Let’s start at the beginning. We started our day by parking at Magic Kingdom’s Transportation and Ticket Center (“TTC”) parking lot. From there, we took a monorail over to Magic Kingdom. Fresh paint job We spent some time in Magic Kingdom and then were ready to get back to the TTC. We were taking the express monorail back from Magic Kingdom to the TTC, when we got stuck for a few minutes. We Were on Monorail Coral We were at a standstill for about 5 minutes at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. A Cast Member then came on the loudspeaker and announced that Monorail Yellow (which we had just been on earlier that day!) was having some technical issues and that we were in a holding pattern. Uh Oh The Cast Member then came back on the loudspeaker a few moments later and indicated that they would be taking us back to Magic Kingdom’s station, and that we would have to get off and take another monorail to the TTC. Interesting. We then started moving backwards toward Magic Kingdom. Going BACK We then hopped onto Monorail Gold on the resort monorail line. We also saw that the Express Monorail had been shut down at the time. Cast Members Near the Monorail When we reached the TTC, we saw that Monorail Yellow was still at the station there. Monorail Yellow Still Here Ultimately, our trip from Magic Kingdom to the TTC (which is typically fairly fast) took us close to 45 minutes today due to the delays! Well, That Took Longer Than Expected It’s a good reminder to leave with PLENTY of time if you’re planning to head to another spot in Disney World that requires you to leave the park you’re in. Whether you’ll be taking a bus, a boat, the monorail, or some other form of transportation, things can happen. Technical issues can arise, or other situations can take place that cause a delay in your trip to your next destination. Monorail Issues Can Lead to Some Big Crowds If you’re rushing to make it to a dining reservation, a Genie+ or Individual Attraction Selection Lightning Lane return time, or something of that nature, a delay of this kind can seriously mess up your plans and cause a LOT of stress. Try to Give Yourself Enough Time So, if you’re planning to hop between parks or resorts or other spots on property and have a set time by which you MUST be at another spot, be sure to give yourself at least an hour (if not more) in terms of transportation/wiggle room. If you arrive early, then you can simply take advantage of other things in the park/resort (just be sure that it’s after Park Hopping time has started if you’ll be hopping parks). If you do end up getting delayed along the way, then at least you’ll have that time built into your schedule. Build in Travel Time And, if all goes wrong, be sure to speak with a Cast Member and see if there’s anything they can do to help. You Can Ask for Help Stay flexible, as much as you can, so you can quickly switch to another form of transportation and get where you need to go! This is also a good reminder to bring those chargers so you can stay in contact with your party, and never hop on any form of transportation (or ride) if you have to use the restroom (better to go beforehand just in case you do get a bit delayed!).

We’ve eaten in space at Disney World and soon we’re going to get to STAY in space aboard the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! ©Disney The new Star Wars hotel is set to make its very first voyage on March 1st, 2022 and we’ve been getting a ton of details about the one-of-a-kind experience leading up to its big debut. We’ve brought you everything from what the cabins will look like, to what you’ll be eating (including BLUE SHRIMP), what you’ll be able to do, and who you’ll be able to see (or even become!) on the 2-night “immersive adventure.” And, while Disney has been consistently giving us more sneak peeks, one thing that hasn’t stayed consistent is the reservation calendar, which is making some guests wonder — are people opting to cancel their reservations already? Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing. Early bookings for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser opened up on October 7th, 2021 to select groups, like Disney Vacation Club members, Annual Passholders, and Club 33 members. And, by the time that general registrations were available, almost all of March was sold out, except for the 31st, and select dates in April and May were unavailable. So, needless to say, the hotel was looking pretty popular! Availability on October 28th, 2021 ©Disney And, dates continued to sell out into the first week of November, with April completely booking up and availability in May becoming even more limited. Availability on November 2nd, 2021 ©Disney So, if you were booking your stay early, you really needed to be planning to visit sometime in July, August, or September to have the most choice. Availability on November 2nd, 2021 ©Disney And, LITERAL days later, even June filled up, leaving one departure date for the entire month. Availability on November 4th, 2021©Disney But, the availability calendar has fluctuated quite a bit ever since, with dates (and even months!) opening up and then selling out…and then opening up again. For example, on November 30th, 2021 there were only two departure dates available in May… Availability on November 30th, 2021 ©Disney …and the entire month of May then quickly sold out as of December 2nd, 2021… Availability on December 2nd, 2021 ©Disney …but just 12 days later, there are many more dates to pick from once again. And, you can even look at March (which is the first month that the hotel will be open) to see more proof of the fluctuation in bookings. Availability on December 14th, 2021 ©Disney So, what exactly is going on here? Well, there are a few things that could be happening. First up, Disney has been pretty upfront about the fact that availability is subject to change and that the calendar is only updated periodically. You can check just below the calendar to see the exact date and time that it was last updated, but it can only be trusted to a certain extent. As we know, Disney’s availability is constantly changing no matter what you’re trying to book whether it’s due to cancellations or Disney simply opening up more reservations. ©Disney Another thing to note is that Disney is requiring that guests make their final payment 90 days in advance and those who choose to cancel will only receive a full refund if they cancel 90+ days out. Believe it or not, we’re already less than 90 days out from March 1st, 2022, so many of those March dates that are opening up could be related to cancellations. Crown of Corellia Dining Room Concept Art – Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser ©Disney But WHY would someone cancel their trip to space? The Star Wars hotel will definitely be unlike anything Disney fans have seen or experienced before, but it comes at a pretty hefty price tag. With the rate that reservations were booking up at first, it’s possible that some guests acted quickly to scoop up a spot without really thinking through whether they 100% wanted to commit or not. So, be it the price of the hotel, scheduling conflicts, or just a growing disinterest in experiencing the experience after seeing more details, people could simply be canceling. Sublight Lounge ©Disney Disney has not revealed any details about why availability is suddenly wide open for dates that were previously booked. But, if you’ve been thinking about booking a stay then you’re in luck if you book now!

Character meet and greets are back in Disney World, but they look a little different! This is how you meet Mickey now! You can now meet your favorite characters again, just in a modified way. The characters stay behind a rope so that you have to maintain distance — you still can’t hug them or get autographs. But, you do get to spend time talking with them and snap a few pics! We’ve seen Mickey, Pluto, several princesses, and more since the meet and greets have returned, and today, we got a big surprise when we were visiting Princess Fairytale Hall in Magic Kingdom! We were over in Fantasyland today and decided to go see the princesses. Over at Princess Fairytale Hall you can usually see Rapunzel, Tiana, Cinderella, and Elena of Avalor. You can meet Cinderella and Elena! We went inside and saw Cinderella and Elena, and then saw Rapunzel and Tiana! Rapunzel and Tiana are here! But, when we went by the hall later, we noticed that a visiting princess was listed next to Rapunzel, so we obviously had to find out who was inside! Who could it be?! Once we went into the hall, we saw Rapunzel again… Punzie …and then we saw Princess Jasmine! Jasmine is here! Jasmine decided to pay Magic Kingdom a visit today, and we’re so glad she did! We love a sassy princess It’s not super often that we get to meet Jasmine, especially without all of the meet and greets being back yet, so it was fun to chat with her today. Her outfit is so pretty And, thanks to this surprise appearance, we got to meet 5 Disney Princesses in one day — Cinderella, Elena, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Jasmine — talk about magical! So, if you go by Princess Fairytale Hall and see the sign that says “Visiting Princess” make sure to stop in, because it might be a princess you don’t get to meet very often! You might be surprised!

BROWARD COUNTY, FL (Dec. 14, 2021) – The Broward County Commission was joined today by Disney Cruise Line President Thomas Mazloum and Captain Minnie Mouse to celebrate a new agreement naming Port Everglades as Disney’s second year-round homeport. The family-favorite cruise line is bringing its magic to Broward County’s cruise port under a 15-year partnership that includes a minimum 10.6 million passenger movements, and three 5-year extension options that could add another 11.25 million passenger movements. The agreement provides for one ship to be homeported in Port Everglades year-round beginning fall 2023, joined by a second, seasonal ship in 2025. “As we expand our fleet of ships and introduce innovative new cruise experiences, we couldn’t be more pleased to bring the magic of Disney to Port Everglades,” said Mazloum. “With a dedicated, specially designed cruise terminal for our guests, we look forward to creating magical memories starting the moment they arrive at this exciting new homeport.” Adding Port Everglades as a second homeport gives Disney a dedicated terminal in a market with direct highway access and one of the nation’s fastest growing airports, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Disney’s original homeport is Port Canaveral, located in Central Florida. “We are diversifying our cruise portfolio and will have three major cruise companies sailing from Port Everglades, which will strengthen visitor numbers in support of our hospitality and tourism industry in Broward County,” said Port Everglades Chief Executive and Port Director Jonathan Daniels. “I extend a special thanks to our County Administrator Bertha Henry and our County Commissioners for their faith and trust. All we need is a little pixie dust to transform Terminal 4 and Disney is ready to sail.” “Disney is a big name that will bring big business to Broward County,” said Broward County Mayor Michael Udine. “We welcome everyone under the sun, and Disney Cruise Line is an excellent fit for our inclusive, family friendly destination. About Port Everglades Port Everglades offers everything under the sun from Caribbean cruises to world voyages to fast ferry getaways — all from the vacation paradise of Greater Fort Lauderdale. Port Everglades’ enviable location in the heart of South Florida and the neighboring Caribbean, makes it one of the three busiest cruise ports in the world, typically hosting nearly 4 million passengers annually. Guests enjoy the Port’s proximity to three international airports including and rapidly growing Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) less than two miles away. For pre- and post-cruise stays, Port Everglades is a short drive to sweeping beachfronts, a vibrant art scene, world-class restaurants, craft breweries, entertainment, shopping, casinos, and family-friendly activities — including the area’s namesake, the Florida Everglades.

About Disney Cruise Line Since its launch in 1998, Disney Cruise Line has established itself as a leader in the cruise industry, providing a setting where families can reconnect, adults can recharge and children can experience all Disney has to offer. Today, Disney Cruise Line continues to expand its blueprint for family cruising with a fleet of four ships – the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy—and three more ships planned. The first ship, the Disney Wish, is scheduled for its maiden voyage in summer 2022. Guests can sail out of ports around the world on exciting itineraries to the Caribbean, Bahamas, Alaska and Europe, among others. The homeport for Disney Cruise Line remains Port Canaveral, Florida, where it has its own specially designed terminal. ### View the full article

Disney World’s most iconic form of transportation is without a doubt the monorail! Monorail! It can be used to get to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and certain resorts.

A MAJOR change is coming to airport transportation in Florida! As you may have heard, Disney’s Magical Express service is ending in January 2022. But you won’t be stranded at the airport. There are still options to get you to your hotel, and one of them is a new high-speed train. The Brightline train will take guests from the Orlando International airport to a brand new Disney Springs train station. ©Brightline The plan is still very much a work in progress and is now expected to open around 2026. While we wait for a progress update, we thought we should talk about how this new train will change Disney World! Will it make things easier? Harder? There’s a lot to consider, so let’s break it down! Extra Planning There are still a lot of unknowns with the Brightline train system, so bear in mind that, as more details come forward, guests’ impressions of this new option could change for good or for bad — time will tell. First, there’s the luggage issue. Will guests have to take their luggage from the airport to their resort themselves? Will Disney deliver your luggage to your room from the airport? This is still up in the air! What will happen to your luggage when you arrive at the station? Then, how will guests get from the Disney Springs train station to their resort? It seems likely that guests will have to take a bus (either dedicated for arriving guests or the normal resort buses that shuttle to and from Springs) or a car/rideshare service to get to their resort. Will a rideshare service like Minnie Van return? Either way, this adds an extra step to the process of arriving at Disney World, meaning guests should expect that it will take a little longer to get to their resort. No matter what Disney decides, it will probably take a little extra planning to figure out the logistics of your arrival day. It won’t be as simple as sitting on the Magical Express and getting off at the door to your hotel. Our NEW Tips for Planning a Trip to Disney World with Disney Genie New Guests The Brightline train will have stops in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando. With the additional stops on the line, Florida locals might take advantage of the train and plan more day trips to Disney World. ©Brightline Brightline reportedly is also planning on creating a stop in Tampa, further connecting the major cities of Florida to Disney World! For those living in Miami, for example, the train will likely be seen as a faster and cheaper alternative to driving to Disney World. ©Brightline Now that Disney has so many new Annual Pass options for Florida residents (when available!), the idea of taking a quick trip to Disney World is probably pretty enticing to people living near Orlando, and the train adds to the benefits! ©Brightline Train Keep in mind that Disney’s park pass reservation system makes sure that none of the parks exceed capacity, so even with potential new guests, the crowds shouldn’t get any bigger. Click here to learn more about the Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system for Walt Disney World Shorter Disney World Vacations? As we mentioned, the Disney Springs station is just one of the many stops on the new Florida line. Could the convenience of traveling from Orlando to Maimi via train cause people to shorten their Disney vacation and opt for a few days at the beach instead? Would you shorten your Disney vacation for a trip to the beach? Over in California, many people spend a few days at Disneyland, then take a train to other cities! Between the increasing costs of a Disney vacation and the new train stops, maybe people will spend less time in Disney World! 25 Dates to Consider When Planning Your Next Disney World Vacation No Need for a Rental Car Some people used to prefer renting a car from the Orlando airport and driving to Disney World. While a car provides a little more freedom, it is also pretty expensive! Parking is convenient but expensive! For example, consider the cost of the rental car itself, gas, and theme park and hotel parking fees — it adds up quickly! With the high-speed train, guests might not need a rental car anymore. Parking at Walt Disney World It’s still unclear how the pricing will work out for a train ride from the airport to Disney Springs, so it’s hard to weigh the difference at this point. Either way, some people might prefer to have someone else worry about the driving while they’re on vacation! We could see the new train being a popular option for those larger travel groups, like school bands, dance groups, and sports teams. With a train, you won’t have to worry about all of your travel parties getting in the same car, van, or bus. There will be plenty of room to keep everyone together. Renting A Car Could Cost MORE Than Disney World Tickets: Here’s Why Added Expense We asked our readers how they felt about the train, and many are excited to give it a try! On the other hand, many people are upset that Disney’s (free) Magical Express service is no longer an option. You will be missed Now that there are so many extra services and costs associated with a Disney World vacation, a ride on the Brightline train is yet another expense that people must account for in their budget. Could this mean that people will make cuts in other areas of their vacation to afford a trip to Disney? Does the budget allow for a dessert party? If people can only spend so much on their vacation, they might decide to stay at a less expensive hotel, stay off-property, or skip a dessert party or after-hours event to make up for the new added expenses. How Much It Costs a Family of 4 to Do Disney World in 2022 As you can see, there are several pros and cons to the new Brightline train system! It will be nice to have another option for guests to get to Disney World from the airport, and we’re excited to review all of the details as they’re released. We still have a ways to go before the train is fully operational, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated with progress updates!

EPCOT festivals are one of our favorite ways to dine in all of Disney World! EPCOT Food and Wine From Food and Wine to Festival of the Holidays, the food booths around World Showcase are a great way to experience many different kinds of cuisines during your time in the park. We recently found out about the booths for EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, and we JUST learned important info about another upcoming festival! EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival will officially be returning on March 2nd, 2022 and run allllll the way until July 4th, 2022! So, you can enjoy the topiaries and springtime snacks for 125 days. The Flower & Garden Festival There will be 18 Outdoor Kitchens, which is slightly fewer than last year’s 19. You can see the booths and their menus from the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival here. Festival Favorites Spread 2021 Disney said that since the festival is taking place during the 50th anniversary celebration (which takes place all throughout 2022), a new main entrance topiary display will feature Goofy and a 50th-themed birthday cake! We suspect it will be like the birthday cake topiary of Minnie and Mickey in front of Magic Kingdom. Topiary Stay tuned to DFB for more details on EPCOT’s 2022 Flower and Garden Festival!

A lot has changed at Disney World over the past two years and it’s more than just health and safety measures! Magic Kingdom While some of the changes are ones that we can get behind, there are others that have guests less excited. And, many of them aren’t ending anytime soon (at least that we know of). So, here are the alarming Disney World trends that you’ll want to be mindful of when planning your 2022 vacation. Price Increases In 2021, we saw price increases on A LOT of different things in the parks and resorts. For example, the year started off with a $2 price increase on our beloved spring rolls in Magic Kingdom, and several restaurants have also received a bump in pricing as they have reopened throughout the year. Now these babies cost MORE! Plus, even merchandise has gotten a bit pricier, with spirit jerseys and MagicBands jumping up in price by $5 and the already expensive create-your-own lightsabers at Savi’s Workshop getting a price hike of $20 (!!). And, that’s just the shortlist. MagicBands cost more now too And, while ticket prices haven’t outright increased for the upcoming year, Disney has defined additional dates as being in “higher demand,” meaning that they now cost more compared to previous years. So, for example, if you’re thinking about heading into the parks on Christmas Eve in 2022, you’ll actually end up paying more per ticket than you would in 2021 because that has been deemed a new date for peak pricing. EPCOT Park Entrance Now, it’s important to keep in mind that price increases aren’t something that’s new to Disney World — we can almost always expect something to be on the rise. And, as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels in the U.S. and demand for the parks continues to rise, we will likely see this trend of price increases continue well into 2022. Disney is Considering Reducing Food Portion Size to Cut Costs. Learn More HERE! Prix Fixe Menus 2021 also saw the opening and reopening of several restaurants across Disney World and there was a BIG surprise on some of the menus. In the past, most restaurants have offered up a full menu where guests can choose to purchase as much or as little food as they want. This certainly still exists around Disney World — though many menus are still limited. But, recently we’ve been seeing Disney trend towards creating prix fixe menus, limiting the number of choices that guests can make while they dine, while still demanding a high price tag. Appetizers from California Grill’s 50th Anniversary prix-fixe menu Right now, you can find prix fixe menus at Space 220 in EPCOT, California Grill (as part of the 50th-anniversary dining experience), Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom, and Story Book Dining at Artist Point. Plus, both Chefs de France and La Crêperie de Paris have an optional prix fixe menu. Picking up on the pattern here? Be Our Guest Restaurant For some, a prix fixe menu is preferable, as you can get a well-rounded taste of the restaurant. But, for others, this limits the menu options and guarantees that you’ll be paying more for your meal when you sit down to dine at Disney World.

Fewer Disney World Resort Guest Perks The benefits of staying at a Disney World Resort hotel have evolved since the parks originally reopened in July of 2020 and you might find that you’re getting less out of your stay nowadays. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney World hotel guests no longer receive complimentary MagicBands as part of their stay (though they can get the MagicBands discounted before their trip) and Disney’s Magical Express is no longer offered as of 2022. So, now you’re paying for two services that used to be considered “free” when you chose to stay on Disney property. Plus, many things that you could once expect to be part of your hotel experience have been temporarily suspended due to COVID-19. For example, housekeeping now comes every other day and room service isn’t offered at most hotels as of this writing. Hotel Room Cleaning Details Even the Disney Park benefits have changed for hotel guests. In 2021, Disney discontinued Extra Magic Hours and opted to replace it with a new perk — Early Theme Park Entry. This enables guests staying at any Disney World hotel to enter any park 30 minutes before it opens any day of the week. But, to truly get extra “hours” in the parks, guests must be staying at a Deluxe Resort or Villa to take advantage of Extended Evening Theme Parks Hours (which are only offered on select days of the week and at select parks). So basically if you wanna play (later in the evenings, that is), you gotta pay. Deluxe resorts are well outside of many guests’ budgets, making this more of an exclusive perk for those that can afford it. Hollywood Studios Entrance And, with the retirement of FastPass+ in Disney World, guests now only benefit in “skipping the line” at popular attractions if opting to buy an Individual Attraction Selection, as the purchasing window opens up at 7AM for hotel guests and at park opening for all others. Previously, guests at a Disney resort could book their FastPass selections 60 days out — 30 days ahead of those not staying at a Disney hotel. Aside from that early chance to pay upwards of $15 per person, per ride (which, again, is a new added cost to work into your budget!) the old FastPass “perks” of being on-site are largely lost. Rise of the Resistance Lightning Lane As with all of these changes, it’s important to remember that Disney World’s hotel perks are always evolving. There was in fact a time when Extra Magic hours weren’t offered and hotel guests didn’t always receive a longer window for FastPass+ and dining reservations. And, as Disney continues to move toward “normal” operations and capacity levels, we may see these change more. Do You Need to Stay at a Disney World Hotel for the BEST Pay-Per-Ride Choices? Learn More HERE! Planning Your Vacation is More Complicated There have always been a lot of boxes to check when planning your Disney World vacation, but right now there are even MORE things that you need to remember to do before you head to the most magical place on earth. It’s not as easy as just scanning into the parks anymore For example, you now need to secure both a park ticket and a Park Pass Reservation for each day that you plan to be in the parks and learn the ins and outs of Disney Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (Disney’s new paid way to “skip the lines” at several attractions) to decide if you’ll be purchasing it and, if you do, how to use it. Plus, park hopping still doesn’t begin until after 2PM, so you’ll need to be mindful of this when making dining reservations and planning how you’ll tackle the day. Park Hopping Information So, while none of these are new to 2022, they still add an extra (complicated) layer to your vacation planning. We Broke Down the Most CONFUSING Parts of Disney Genie! Learn More HERE! Less Bang For Your Buck We may be over a year and a half past the day that Disney World reopened after closing temporarily for the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are still many aspects of the parks (and even resorts) that haven’t returned to “normal.” But, even without operations back to pre-pandemic levels, the cost of going to Disney World certainly hasn’t gone down. Instead, guests are settling for getting a little less out of their vacation while still paying top dollar prices. Magic Kingdom As of this writing, several restaurants remain closed (with others having limited hours), many entertainment options are still unavailable, parking trams are not operating (but are coming back soon!), meet and greets haven’t fully returned in their “normal” way, and park hopping doesn’t start until 2PM among other things. And, while Disney executives have promised the eventual return of fan-favorite shows and experiences, there is no official word on when exactly that will be. Character greetings are still from a distance Not to mention all of what we discussed earlier — less free perks, like MagicBands, Magical Express, FastPass, true Extra Magic Hours, and more. In ALL of those cases listed, an option to have the same thing or something similar exists — but you gotta pay for it. So, while you’re still paying the same price to visit the parks, you’ll be getting less bang for your buck until operations return to what they once were. As far as the perks we now have to pay for that we didn’t prior? Well, those seem to be sticking around, unfortunately. Learn More About What Still Hasn’t Returned to Disney World HERE!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new ride that is set to open in EPCOT’s Future World in the summer of 2022. ©Disney It’s part of EPCOT’s big transformation that is currently underway and has already brought us the new Creations Shop, Club Cool, and 3 new neighborhoods! The ride is one of the longest indoor roller coasters in the world and is described as a family-friendly omnicoaster, which means that the ride vehicles will spin a full 360 degrees on the track while traveling at high speeds. And, Disney just got one big step closer to completing the attraction! Early ride testing has begun on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! ©Jeff Vahle via Instagram (@jeffvahle) Jeff Vahle, the President of Walt Disney World Resort, posted on Instagram today that he took an early test ride on the upcoming attraction and said that “it is AWESOME!!!” From our look inside at the ride earlier this year, we can definitely understand why he would have that reaction. But, we only got to see the ride, we can’t WAIT to actually go on it! ©Jeff Vahle via Instagram (@jeffvahle) Jeff Vahle also said he got an update on the latest progress and is “looking forward to seeing the finishing touches over the next several months.” The ride opening is getting closer and closer, and we’ve seen a lot of progress lately, so it’s safe to say that we are extremely hyped up for this new attraction!
