There are a lot (and we mean a LOT) of new things that are set to open up or debut in Disney World on October 1st. Just the Most Magical Castle on Earth Why? Oh, just because October 1st happens to mark a teeny, tiny event in Disney history (sarcasm heavily implied) — it’s the 50th Anniversary of alt Disney World! October 1st will have it all — 2 new fireworks shows, a new ride, a new restaurant, new EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival booths, and MORE! Want to try and tackle it ALL in 1 day? We’re breaking down our suggested plan for any of you out there brave enough to try it! Tools You’ll Need and Assumptions that Could Change Things Before we begin, we’ve got to go over some essentials you’ll need and some assumptions we’re making with this plan. If/when new information is released, then that could alter some of the parts of this plan. First, let’s talk about the park hours. Park Hours in Disney World can change greatly. Disney hasn’t released the park hours for October 1st yet (we only have as far out as September). And even when Disney releases those October hours, that’s only a preliminary release of information. All of those hours could be extended or changed as October 1st gets closer. Slinky Dog Dash So, for purposes of this plan, we’re going to assume that the hours in October will be the same as they are in mid to late July. The hours are as follows: Magic Kingdom: 9AM to 10PM EPCOT: 11AM to 10PM Disney’s Hollywood Studios: 9AM to 8PM Disney’s Animal Kingdom: 8AM to 7PM Again, these hours are subject to change. EPCOT Second, in this plan, you’ll be hopping throughout all 4 parks. This is for the group who wants to see and do it ALL on the 5oth. That means you’ll definitely need a ticket with Park Hopping abilities. Also, keep in mind that Park Hopping is currently based on availability. We haven’t encountered an instance (thus far) where we were prevented from hopping to a park based on capacity reasons. Let’s Go! However, given that the 50th Anniversary will likely be a VERY popular date, it’s possible that you may look to hop to another park and that park may not have any availability for park hopping guests to enter (based on capacity concerns). This plan presumes that there are no hopping issues, but just keep that in mind as it may ultimately become a potential problem. We’ll also be operating under the assumption that Park Hopping hours will still start at 2PM, although that is subject to change. Click here to see what number you need to call to check on Park Hopping availability at the parks. Next, let’s talk about Park Passes. Park Passes have been filling up for the 50th Anniversary. At this time, Park Passes for all 4 parks have filled up for Annual Passholders on October 1st. Additionally, Park Passes for EPCOT and Magic Kingdom are already full for Theme Park Tickets guests and guests staying at Select Resort Hotels. EPCOT In this plan, we’ll be starting at EPCOT, so that presumes that you either already have an EPCOT Park Pass or one opens up in the future. You could also potentially use this plan for another day following October 1st though (when there is more Park Pass availability). Additionally, we’re going to assume in this plan that you’ll be driving or potentially using a rideshare (if it can get you around fast enough) to get between the parks. While Disney transportation is incredibly convenient, it can add on a lot of extra time to your day if you get stuck waiting in a long line for a bus, boat, or monorail. Monorail So for this plan we’re going to work off of the assumption that we’ll be driving around in a car. And finally, we don’t have showtimes yet for any of the new shows coming to Disney World for the 50th. We’re going to presume, however, that there will be a variety of times during which KiteTails will be available at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. How gorgeous is this?! We expect that the new lights on the Tree of Life and on Tower of Terror will begin around or right after sunset (which is set to be just after 7PM on the 1st). And we expect that Harmonious will take place at the same time as EPCOT Forever will be held in July (10PM), and that Disney Enchantment will be at the same time as Happily Ever After (9:15PM). OKAY. Now that we’ve gotten that all out of the way. Let’s dive into our plan! 1. Start in EPCOT Okay so technically before this you would wake up, get dressed, get breakfast, the whole deal. But after you’ve finished that (and fully freaked out that it is Disney World’s 50th Anniversary and YOU ARE IN THE MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH), then you head to EPCOT! Let’s Go to EPCOT! We would advise that you arrive in EPCOT as EARLY as possible. Recently, we’ve seen rope dropping procedures begin about 30 minutes prior to the park’s opening. Meaning you may be able to get in around 10:30AM (and potentially sooner). BUT Disney has just announced that Early Theme Park Entry will become available starting on October 1st. Early Theme Park Entry will let Disney World resort guests enter any theme park of their choice prior to park opening. This means that EPCOT will open at 10:30AM already for hotel guests. So, you’ll likely want to arrive even earlier (presuming you’re a hotel guest), as rope drop could begin sooner. That can help you get to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (ideally) before the line gets too crazy! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure If you’ll be spending the night at one of the EPCOT area hotels (with walking distance to the park) you’d be in an IDEAL spot. Entering through International Gateway would be best since the plan here is to go straight to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure which will be opening on October 1st. But, even if you’re not staying at an EPCOT area hotel, the goal here is to head straight to the France pavilion and hop in line for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure as soon as the park opens. Something exciting is coming to the France Pavilion! We expect this ride will already have a fairly substantial line so you’ll want to allot well over an hour for this one. After you finish racing around Remy’s Paris on this ride, swing by La Creperie de Paris, which is also opening on October 1st. This spot will offer both Table Service and Quick Service options. Since we’ll be a little tight on time with this plan, you’ll want to just grab a few crepes to go for now! La Crêperie de Paris Next, you’ll want to eat and drink your way around the world (safely, but quickly) and check out the 9 Food & Wine Festival booths that won’t open until October 1st. Some of these booths are returning from previous festivals, so if you really want to speed things up, you could just focus on the booths that will arrive that day that are BRAND NEW to the Festival — Kenya, Lobster Landing, and Mac & Eats. EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival | 2020 Estimating about a 2 hour like for Remy’s plus time for eating, you could (theoretically) end your time here around 2:30 to 3PM. 2. Next, to Disney’s Animal Kingdom We Go Next, it’s time to head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see this park’s new daytime show which will debut on October 1st, KiteTails. During this show, you’ll get to see performers flying windcatchers and kites of all shapes and sizes, including some shaped like Disney characters (like Simba or Baloo)! ©Disney Disney hasn’t released the showtimes for KiteTails yet, but we expect there will be several times available throughout the day. If you can arrive around 3 to 3:30PM and catch a show soon after, you may be able to finish up around 4 to 4:30PM. 3. Next Up: Magic Kingdom Then, it’s time to go to Magic Kingdom to catch the NEW cavalcade. During the NEW Mickey’s Celebration Cavalcade you’ll get to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and more will all be dressed in their special 50th Anniversary outfits. ©Disney Cavalcades, unlike parades, do not have set time schedules. At the moment, cavalcades have been running from around 10:20AM to 5:40PM. Assuming that you get to Magic Kingdom around 5PM or so, we’re expecting that you could likely catch an afternoon cavalcade. We’re estimating that you’ll end your time here around 6:30PM. 4. Park Icons at Night Next, it’s time to catch some of those park icons as they transform into “Beacons of Magic.” Again, times haven’t been announced for when this will start but we expect it would be some time after sunset (which is set to be around 7PM on October 1st). First, we’d recommend heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to take a look at the Tree of Life! During the 50th Anniversary, you’ll get to see a warm light surrounding the Tree as fireflies dance around it. ©Disney Next, it’s time to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to check out Tower of Terror. During the 50th Anniversary, this icon will get some special new touches and glimmer with EARidesence. ©Disney Also, we wanted to mention that throughout your time in the parks, you’ll want to look for those Disney Fab 50 character statues! ©Disney Throughout all 4 of the parks, you’ll find 50 golden statues celebrating some of your favorite Disney characters, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and more. 5. FIREWORKS! Finally, it’s time to end the night with a bang. First up, Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom. This show will take guests on a journey full of “adventure, wonder and empowerment.” We expect this show will start around 9:15PM (just as Happily Ever After will in July). Be sure to look for those special projections that will go from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A. as part of the show! ©Disney Be sure to also take a close look at Cinderella Castle and how it has transformed for the 50th with all of its special draperies and gems. ©Disney And last, but certainly not least, it’s time to end the night with Harmonious! This show will feature custom-built LED panels, moving fountains, lights, lasers, and pyrotechnics all set to a soundtrack that features Disney music reinterpreted by diverse, cultural musicians from around the world! We expect the show will start around 10PM (just as EPCOT Forever will in July). ©Disney And don’t forget to take a look at Spaceship Earth either on your way in or your way out and how it has transformed into a Beacon of Magic with its new lights! The lights will shine across the panels of Spaceship Earth and connect to form a starry night sky. These artist renderings look amazing! ©Disney And THAT’S your ultimate do-it-all in 1 day October 1st plan. How realistic is this plan? Well…it’s tough to say. There are SO many things to do and see and not a lot of time to do it all in. You could start at another park in the morning (say Magic Kingdom for example), but then you wouldn’t be able to hop until 2PM, so that could throw a wrench in your plans. Driving from park to park and parking at each park will probably take more time than what we’ve got available in this plan. Not to mention you’ll need time to eat and take bathroom breaks. You might not be able to see all 4 beacons on the 50th, and you may have to choose a fireworks show depending on the hours. Hey There Mickey! ©Disney But hey, you never know until you try right?!

We’re around the corner from a LOT of important holidays and events in Disney World with the 4th of July (including the return of fireworks), the 50th-anniversary celebrations, and Halloween with the BOO Bash’s debut. Happily Ever After But, you’re probably already looking ahead to the plans you’re going to make throughout the year, including Christmas time! While we don’t know exactly what events will be taking place around then (like whether Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will return or not), guests are already booking their hotels this early in the summer. And, if you plan on heading to Disney World for Christmas, we’re breaking down the resort prices you need to know before you book! We took a look at the Walt Disney World website during the week of Christmas from December 19th through December 26th at the prices for the tiers of Value, Moderate, and Deluxe Resorts. It’s Santa! The Value Resorts regularly start as low as $112, depending on the season. However, the least pricey options of the on-property Disney hotels are a lot more expensive than usual due to the time of the year. The starting price we saw during Christmas Week was at $248 per night at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, ranging all the way up to $310 at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. ©Disney The Moderate tier also has some high fluctuations in its pricing, differing from its starting point at around $220 per night. Instead, the least expensive hotel option was over at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort for $351 per night, followed by Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort at $412. However, the prices LEAPT up to $690 (!!!) per night for the Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Lodge, surpassing the lowest price for the Deluxe Resorts during that same week. ©Disney Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge sits at the “cheapest” price point for the Deluxe Resorts at $668 per night, which is a huge hike compared to its base cost that usually would be around $430. A few of the other Deluxe Resorts have offers in the range of $738 to $774 per night… ©Disney …including Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Disney’s Beach Club, and Disney’s Yacht Club Resorts. ©Disney Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resorts still don’t quite reach the peak of $1,000 per night, making Disney’s Grand Floridian and Disney Contemporary Resorts the most expensive hotels during Christmas Week at $1,016 and $1,055 respectively. ©Disney There are a few resorts that are currently listed as unavailable during Christmas Week. Disney’s Swan and Dolphin, Disney’s Old Key West, and Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resorts. The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness also have no availability, most likely meaning that many of the rooms or campsites have been booked up during that time of the holiday season. Fort Wilderness Decorations The Walt Disney Website also lists Disney’s All-Star Sports and Music Resorts, as well as Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter and Riverside as unavailable at this time. But, that’s due to the fact that these hotels haven’t reopened to guests just yet (but we’ll be keeping an eye out for more details soon)! Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter Of course, prices could fluctuate over the coming months with more or less availability at the resorts. But, if you do plan on heading to Disney World during Christmas, it is expected to be a busy time of the year. So, you may want to look into booking your hotels sooner rather than later, as resorts and Park Passes could sell out quickly. As more details about the holiday season are announced, we’ll be sure to keep you updated. In the meantime, stay tuned with DFB for the latest Disney news you need to know!

If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you might be wondering where you should stay! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort There are a LOT of options for accommodations in the Most Magical Place on Earth and we want to make sure you stay at the spot that’s best for YOU. What better way than to take you on tours of the rooms? Well, if you’re traveling with the fam, you’re going to want to see inside the rooms at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort… . We stayed the night at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort in one of the Lion King Family Suites. Other room types include the similarly-laid-out Cars Family Suites and Finding Nemo Family Suites, and the standard Little Mermaid rooms. These family suites sleep a whopping six guests comfortably! Family Suite When you walk into the room, you’ll see that it’s laid out with a dining area… Family Suite …a living area… Family Suite …a bathroom… Family Suite …a bedroom… Family Suite …and another bathroom! Family Suite As you can see, these rooms are SPECTACULARLY themed, but we know what you’re thinking: If there’s only one bed, how are six guests staying here? Well, surprise! The dining table converts to a murphy bed… Family Suite …and the sofa is a pull-out double bed too! Family Suite But let’s get into the nitty-gritty, starting as you enter! Family Suite The family suites at this resort are off of interior hallways and open into that dining area. In this space, you’ll spot the murphy bed, complete with a dining table and chairs. Family Suite Of course, you’ll spot some birds on the murphy bed, plus bugs and grubs on the table! Typically, we wouldn’t be too fond of bugs where we eat…but they did look pretty tasty in The Lion King. Family Suite The overhead lights even look like clouds! Family Suite The chairs are a cool, cartoon leaf design. Family Suite The wall has a bird art piece here as well. Family Suite Pull those chairs out of the way and the murphy bed down… Family Suite …and you’ll be greeted by a sleeping Simba! Family Suite Either side of this bed has a bedside table complete with a drawer. Family Suite This is probably about the time that you’ll notice that the floor has a cool pebble texture. Family Suite Next, let’s head into the first bathroom! Family Suite This room has a single vanity with plenty of counter space. Family Suite Under the sink, you’ll spot some extra supplies in case you need them. Family Suite There’s plenty of lighting, and the mirror has a cool themed design too! Family Suite Past a sliding door, you’ll find the toilet and shower room. Family Suite The shower curtain is a VERY fun print of Timon and Pumbaa washin’ up! Family Suite And pull the curtain back to reveal a beautiful Circle of Life sunrise tile wall! Family Suite This bathroom is equipped with refillable Disney toiletries… Family Suite …and expect a wider showerhead with decent pressure. Family Suite Ok, back to the common area! The main space has a living area and a kitchenette. Family Suite This room is also where you’ll spot the thermostat which was set to 60 degrees when we arrived. Family Suite The kitchenette is a cabinet in the corner of the room that features several amenities. Family Suite The top shelf has an ice bucket with cups… Family Suite …and microwave with accompanying supplies. Family Suite The countertop features a good amount of counter space, a sink, a paper towel roller… Family Suite …and a coffee machine with everything you need for your cup o’ joe (or tea). Family Suite The cabinet under the sink has a fire extinguisher and additional paper towels. Family Suite Then there’s the mini-fridge which is a larger size than the ones featured in standard Disney World hotel rooms! Family Suite Next to the kitchenette is a trash and recycling bin. Family Suite The sofa has a neat orange print on it and a whole tower of giraffes standing over it. Family Suite Remove the cushions and pull the handles, and you’ve got yourself another double bed! Family Suite In the corner, there is a flower-themed standing lamp with a table and one of the hotel phones. Family Suite In front of the couch, you’ll find two stools adorned with Lion King lyrics and designed like tree stumps! Family Suite The curtains have a standard privacy curtain… Family Suite …and a blackout curtain with a jungle design. Family Suite As for your view, you could end up looking out towards a parking lot, courtyard area, or some of Art of Animation’s awesome character sculptures. Family Suite Hey, Simba! We can see all of Pride Rock! Family Suite The living area has ANOTHER chair too, a green scoop seat. Family Suite Then, you’ve got a full dresser that looks like it was pulled right from the jungle. Family Suite It has four drawers with plenty of space… Family Suite …and built-in outlets. Family Suite Above the dresser is a standard, flat-screen TV (tuned to the Disney info channel of course!). Family Suite The corner of this room features a storage cubby with a spare pillow and blanket as well as some hangers. Family Suite The large drawer here has pillows for use on the sofa bed. Family Suite Annnnnd on to the bedroom! Family Suite This room features a queen bed with Zazu sitting above (with much aplomb we might add). Family Suite The side tables each feature a flower-inspired lamp… Family Suite …plus a drawer and cubby space. Family Suite You’ll find the same curtains on another window in this room. Family Suite Plus the same dresser and TV. Family Suite By the door, there’s a small closet-designated space with more hangers, an ironing board, iron, safe, and a luggage rack. Plus another extra pillow. Family Suite The final bathroom is a one-room space off of the bedroom. Family Suite It has another single vanity with a themed mirror. Family Suite You’ll find added supplies in here too! Family Suite The shower here does not have a tub and is instead a glass door walk-in. Family Suite It has the same refillable toiletries… Family Suite …and the same AWESOME Circle of Life wall. Family Suite Whew! And there you have it! That’s a full tour of a Lion King Family Suite at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney coverage and updates!

Here at DFB, we’re typically trying to help you save money as you’re booking your hotels, buying your tickets, or even just grabbing merchandise all around Disney World. Just your “regular” perfectly ordinary Disney World trip can be incredibly expensive. Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World But, every now and then it’s fun to dream, right?! So, today we’re looking at what could be the MOST EXPENSIVE trip to Disney World. We’re talking VIP tours, the hotel rooms of your dreams, and all kinds of extras that would blow any ordinary budget, but will not be an issue for our imaginary UNLIMITED Disney World trip budget. Grab your (imaginary) wallets and let’s get spending!! We’re gonna break down all the big-ticket options for you BUT, some ground rules for our calculations. We tried to approach our final number looking at a REAL date and what’s currently available. So basically if you tried to go book this trip right this very minute, what you would find. Not everything is available currently, limiting our options somewhat. We’re approaching our final number as realistically as possible. If a fictional person were to want to book one day at Disney World on December 29th this year and really go all out (without dipping into the REALLY special pricey add-ons) what would it cost? That means tickets, hotel, three meals a day, and a few other realistic extras. Let’s see what we found. Tickets The price of your Disney World tickets will depend on when you decide to visit Disney World. Disney tickets are priced by date which means the higher demand the day, the more expensive the ticket. Whether the days you’ll be visiting fall into a higher demand day (and thus higher price bracket) or lower demand day (and thus lower price bracket) can also vary from year to year, as we saw when we looked at the 2022 ticket prices. Hollywood Studios In terms of what ticket to buy, the Park Hopper Plus option is the highest on the scale (an Annual Pass would technically be more expensive as a single purchase but those are unavailable to purchase at the moment). With the Park Hopper Plus, you get access to Park Hopping around all 4 Disney theme parks (depending on availability under the modified system). Plus, you can get a certain number of visits (tied to the length of your tickets) to one of the following: Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park (temporarily closed), the NBA Experience (temporarily closed), Wide World of Sports Complex (temporarily closed), Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course — Footgolf, Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, Fantasia Gardens mini golf course, or Winter Summerland mini golf course. Winter Summerland This is the most expensive ticket type, starting at $194 per day for a 1-day ticket. And again, that price will depend on the days you go. For this example, we’ll pick one of the highest days in the calendar, right around New Year’s Eve. We’ll say we’re going on December 29th. A 1-day Park Hopper Plus ticket for that day will cost you a whopping $244! ©Disney That’s a LOT of cash for just a single ticket, and we’re just getting started! Hotel There are a lot of different hotel options all around Disney World, so for our example, we’ll be sticking just to the Disney-owned and operated hotels. Not all of the resorts showed availability for December 29th, but based on what we did see on the Disney website at the moment, it seems a stay at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort might be just what you need for the most expensive trip ever! Disney’s Yacht Club Resort During the time we looked, a 1-night stay in a 2-bedroom suite in the Yacht Club was priced at a cool $3,170! ©Disney Just keep in mind that again pricing will depend on when you visit these hotels. Since we’re booking on a popular date, a lot of rooms are currently listing as unavailable. This just happens to be the priciest room option for the date we selected. Some hotel rooms in Disney World can be even MORE expensive. The bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort can go all the way up to $4,976 a night! Click here to see some of the most ridiculously awesome hotel rooms in Disney World! Meals Breakfast Alright, now it’s time to start our day with some breakfast. But, since we’re on an unlimited budget we’re going ALL out with a character breakfast meal. For this, we can head to Topolino’s Terrace, Hollywood & Vine Restaurant, or Chef Mickey’s and grab breakfast with our Disney pals for about $42 per adult. You can always make that more expensive by adding on a breakfast cocktail. Since we can’t Park Hop until 2PM and we want to grab lunch in Magic Kingdom (you’ll see why in a moment), we’ll probably head to Chef Mickey’s or Topolino’s Terrace. You could say hello to Mickey at Topolino’s Terrace! You can find an even more expensive breakfast option over at Ravello in the Four Seasons at Walt Disney World when they offer their Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and Pals. That’s priced at $48 per adult, but is only available on Saturdays. Click here to see our full review of the character breakfast over at Topolino’s Terrace! Lunch After breakfast, it’s time to head into the parks for some fun. We have some expensive items that we’ll be partaking in during this time (more on this in a minute), but first we’ve got to talk about lunch! Now, there are a lot of ways you can make lunch anywhere in Disney World absolutely and ridiculously expensive (like by ordering the most expensive appetizer, entree, dessert, and alcoholic beverage choices). For our day, we’re heading over to either Be Our Guest Restaurant or Cinderella’s Royal Table, which already start at a high price point — $62 per adult! Beast in Be Our Guest Add on an alcoholic beverage or a glass of bubbly (or maybe a whole bottle if you’re REALLY trying to take full advantage of that unlimited budget), and you could make this one ridiculously expensive meal. For example, if you grab a bottle of the Cuvée Dom Pérignon Brut, Champagne at Be Our Guest or Cinderella’s Royal Table, you’re looking at an additional $350 charge! Cinderella’s Royal Table Talk about an expensive meal! Dinner When it is available, the Chef’s Table experience at Victoria & Albert’s (temporarily unavailable at the moment) is one of the most expensive dinners you can have in all of Disney World. The experience is priced at $250 per guest (although it was set to be increased at one point to $350). You can then add on a wine pairing for $150 per guest, plus an international caviar tasting for $295. If you keep adding on more extras, you could REALLY spend some BIG $$$. Chef’s Table Champagne Toast at Victoria & Albert’s Takumi-Tei at EPCOT’s Japan pavilion would also provide for a super expensive meal if went for the omakase tasting menu, priced at $150, and added on some more options. This restaurant is temporarily closed at the moment. Takumi Tei Water Room Out of what is open at the time of writing this post, you can get a SUPER expensive meal at a few spots in Disney World. Over at Capa at the Four Seasons, you could get a mix of oysters, crab, shrimp, ceviche from the raw bar for $69, a Porterhouse steak (32 oz, prime) for $118, and a cheese board for dessert for $21. Add on some wines or drinks and you’ve got a $208+ meal. Over at California Grill in Disney’s Grand Floridian Cafe you’ve got a ton of pricey options too. You can get a Spicy Kazan Roll for $29, a 20-oz Bone-In Rib-Eye Steak for $64, and a cheese board for $23. Add on some drinks (or more food) and you’re looking at a $116+ meal for one person! California Grill provides a fancy dinner with a spectacular view! You can certainly craft some expensive dinners at a whole bunch of places in Disney World, but these are some of the ones we noted were especially on the pricier side. Click here to see our review of California Grill (and whether it’s worth it without the fireworks). Snacks and Drinks Of course, no day is complete without Disney snacks! If you grab some of those really pricey snacks or even pricey drinks in between your meals, you can keep the expensive trend going all day long! Salted Caramel Bubble Waffle For example, a Salted Caramel Bubble Waffle from AristoCrepes will set you back $8.99! But hey, we’ve got an unlimited budget (and an unlimited stomach capacity), right?! Click here to see Disney snacks you’ve said you’ll never eat again! Day Activities Alright, so we’ve discussed tickets, hotel, and food. But this is the MOST expensive day ever, so we’ve got to add on some extras! If you’re really looking for some crazy expensive things, the World of Dreams Disney Tour (when available) is exactly what you need. This tour was priced at $12,000(!!!!!!!) and is incredibly customizable, allowing guests to build their “dream” day. You could even ask to tour the Cinderella Castle suite during the tour! Cinderella Castle Suite ©Disney Some meals and snacks are included in the price (which might eliminate some of our previous calculations) but it’s still a super expensive item we had to mention. Click here to learn more about this tour! Even just adding a regular VIP tour though will cost you a pretty penny. Prices for private VIP tours range from $425 to $750 per hour. All private VIP tours must be booked for a minimum duration of 7 hours (and can accommodate up to 10 guests) so that’s a minimum of $2,975 to $5,250! Time for a Tour! Guests are able to fully customize what they’d like to experience on these tours, making it a great way to check off a lot of “must-dos” on your list! With no budget whatsoever, a VIP Tour could be an amazing addition to the day with potential front-of-the-line access, awesome information shared by the VIP tour guide, and more. Night/Post-Park Day Activities But the fun doesn’t have to end when the sun sets. There are tons of extras you could add to this single day to bump up that cost and create a truly amazing (but ridiculously expensive) Disney experience. Specialty cruises in Seven Seas Lagoon are currently unavailable, but if they were, renting the Grand 1 Yacht from Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa for some fireworks viewing or just a specialty cruise around the water would be one incredible experience. The Grand 1 Yacht experience is priced at $399 per hour, but you can also add on private dining, butler service, or other enhancements for an additional cost. Grand 1 Yacht Once you’ve finished your yacht experience, you can head back to your room where more surprises await. Disney offers a variety of in-room packages through Disney Floral & Gifts. There are all kinds of celebration packages you can choose from. Some of the most expensive ones can go over $1,000!!! ©Disney There’s a “Build A Wine” basket that ranges in price from $166.97 to $1,327.97. This includes your choice of 3 bottles of wine, wine glasses or toasting flutes, and gourmet cheese, crackers, and sweets. Merchandise You can’t plan the most expensive day ever at Disney World without factoring in a bit of shopping! Without any budget to stick to, you could buy all of the legacy lightsaber hilts, spirit jerseys, Minnie ears, Pandora charms, Dooney & Bourke Bags, and dresses your heart desires! These Are Some Seriously Awesome Lightsaber Hilts! Or, you could go for something absolutely ridiculously expensive like that Arribas Brothers Cinderella Castle, which is priced at $49,000!!!!!!! Can We Just Like in This Castle?! With an unlimited budget, a shopping spree in Disney World doesn’t sound like a bad idea! Click here to see some m0re insanely expensive things in Disney World! MORE! Okay, so there are only so many hours in one day. We’ve already planned a super expensive day that might not be physically possible to squeeze into 24 hours (but if you try hard enough, you just might be able to do it all)! Assuming you had enough time, there are some other pricey experiences you can have all around Disney World. You could go on the Wild Africa Trek in Animal Kingdom when available (priced between $139-249 per person) or get a luxurious spa treatment at one of the spas located at a few resorts around property. View from Wild Africa Trek If you’re looking to really spend some cash, you could try to join Club 33 with a reported membership price of $25,000 as a joining fee. Or, you could buy a whole HOUSE at Golden Oak, the community located on Disney World property. When we last checked, the most expensive home available (and listed on the website) was a house with 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms priced at OVER $8,000,000.00. Oh, and it has its own theater room, NBD. ©Golden Oak We said no budget right?! Even if you just buy the expensive ticket we mentioned at the beginning ($244), stay in the expensive hotel room ($3,170), eat at a character breakfast ($42), get an expensive lunch ($62), splurge at California Grill ($116), get a few snacks ($10), and get an expensive in-room package sent to your room (let’s stay on the cheaper side and order one for $289.99), you’d be looking at a single day in Disney World costing you $3,933.99! The Clock Strikes Twelve Realistically you probably can’t get ALL of this done in one day, but it’s nice to dream! Obviously, all of these numbers could change depending on the hotel selected and the date visiting (along with which restaurants you pick). We left out the ultra-pricey VIP tour because we’re trying to show you a (somewhat) more realistic possible day. If you were to add on a VIP tour and an even pricier room, you could be looking at anywhere from about $2000 more all the way up to almost $7000 more! A 10k day in Disney World. Wowza… . Unfortunately, we can’t all have an unlimited budget during our Disney trips, so we’ll continue to look for great deals and discounts that’ll help you save some cash on your tickets, hotel rooms, and more so maybe you can splurge on one or two extra experiences during your trip.

We’re at Disney World every day, and we have certain products that we swear by. What do you pack in your day bag? We’re talking about the things that we actually use while we’re at the parks — those things that are so handy that we simply can’t live without them. And we’re sharing those items with you so that you can be as prepared as us on your next Disney World Trip. So get your packing list handy, and let’s get started! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. We’ve told you countless times to get a phone charger. Or a cooling towel. Or sunscreen. But what brands do WE turn to day in and day out in Disney World? Let’s find out! Technology Mobile Chargers Now that MagicBands are no longer free, and Disney has introduced even more features to handle MagicBand duties in the My Disney Experience app, it’s even harder to keep your smartphone charged during a day at the parks because you’re ALWAYS using it! That’s why having a mobile charger is an absolute must — because you WILL need to charge your phone at least once during the day if you’re using it for everything! If we feel we’re going to need a LOT of charging, we’ll bring this PowerStation Charger with us. ©Amazon You can charge multiple devices multiple times with this kind of charger, which makes it well worth $43.84. Click Here To Buy The Powerstation Charger If you want to carry a more lightweight, compact charger, though, we can recommend this POWERADD External Battery Charger — it’s basically the size of a lipstick and will fit into any size bag! ©Amazon This charger comes in fun colors, too, and is very affordable at $10.99. These are great to have as a backup or if we’re in a hurry and don’t want to lug around the bigger charger. Click Here To Buy The POWERADD External Battery Charger Bags and Accessories That Florida sunshine gets BRIGHT (it is called “The Sunshine State,” after all) and you need to protect your eyes when you’re running around in it. We love these Be One Polarized Sunglasses because they’re perfect for a day at the park. They’re also stylish and come in a variety of colors. ©Amazon Polarized is a must for us — it kills a ton of glare and just makes things easier on the eyes. A few styles come in a warmer colored lens too, which can still allow colors you’re seeing to pop when you’re wearing them. Plus they’re nice and wide so no fogging up! And best of all, they’re inexpensive — just $14.95. We don’t feel so bad when we lose these! Click Here To Buy The Be One Polarized Sunglasses One of the biggest questions we get is what bags we like to use to carry our stuff in, and we think a good sling bag is both a comfortable and stylish way to carry all our daily necessities around in. We like this Kavu Rope Bag because it’s proven itself as a good day bag, but it’s also available in a huge variety of styles. ©Amazon The external pockets also come in handy for staying organized. Plus the colors are just mega fab. This is a rock-solid option if you want a no-frills and comfy bag without a lot of bulk that still can hold a ton. You can grab it now for $50. Click Here To Buy The Kavu Rope Bag If you’ve got an infant with you that’s still in diapers, though, you’re going to need a little something more. And we’re big fans of the Suguroo Mi-ck-ey Mouse Diaper Bag Backpack because it’s easy to strap onto your shoulders like a backpack AND it’s waterproof — and you know how important that is in Florida when it can rain at any given second! ©Amazon Best thing with backpack-style diaper bags is you don’t have to stop using them when your kiddo is out of diapers! Diaper bags are smartly designed with loads of compartments to stash everything your baby (or you!) could need. This bag comes in a variety of colors, and you can get it for $31.69 Click Here To Buy The Suguroo Mi-ck-ey Mouse Diaper Bag Backpack Sunscreen and Makeup The Florida sunshine is also brutal and we will always remind you to wear sunscreen every time you’re going to be outside! We like the Banana Boat Sunscreen Sport Performance Coolzone, which you can get in a handy 2-pack (and trust us, you’ll need it). ©Amazon Sport sunscreen like this goes on clear and does NOT budge. We can whip around Kali River Rapids or Splash Mountain all day, erryday no problem without fear of burning. It’s also SPF 30, so it offers good protection. The 2-pack is $12.47. Click Here To Buy The Banana Boat Sunscreen Sport Performance Coolzone For our face, though, we like the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Weightless Face Sunscreen, which is also SPF 30. Don’t forget to protect your face, too! ©Target You know how SO MANY face sunscreens feel slimy all day long? Yuck. No thank you. This soaks right in leaving you moisturized but not greasy. This one is available at Target for $8.99. Click Here to Buy The Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Weightless Face Sunscreen For kids, we like the Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Sunscreen Spray because it’s SPF 70 AND water-resistant, making it perfect for those days your kids want to hit the pool. ©Amazon This kind of spray can be sprayed on damp skin which can be a lifesaver if you’ve ever tried hosing yourself in sunscreen once you’re all hot and sweaty or wet and find out later the moisture on your body prevented the sunscreen from sticking! And if you’re looking for an extra SPF boost, this is great for adults too. Neutrogena sunscreens tend to be great for sensitive skin as well. You can get a 2-pack on Amazon now for $15.97. Click Here to Buy The Neutrogena Wet Skin Kids Sunscreen Spray Sometimes we just want something that kind of does it all, so we turn to Supergoop! Invincible Setting Powder which keeps our makeup looking fresher longer AND provides sun protection. It’s a 2-in-1! ©Amazon This stuff is also sweat-resistant, so while the rest of our bodies might be drenched in moisture, our faces will look dry and put together. It’s transparent, so you can basically treat it like invisible sunscreen powder (we do!). This is a godsend for hair parts (yep, we always tend to forget that sensitive bit of skin!) and especially great for babies and kids (if you’ve tried to wrestle your child to apply sunscreen to their faces, YOU KNOW!). It’s pricey but lasts a long time. You can grab it now for $30. Click Here To Buy The Supergoop! Invincible Setting Powder If you wear your sunscreen under your make-up, but still need a product that will keep everything in place, we love the Nyx Dewy Finish Setting Spray that leaves you just enough shine to make you look like you’re glowing. But even better? You won’t look sweaty even at the end of a long day at Disney World. ©Amazon And this setting spray is inexpensive, too — a bottle is just $7.06. And a little goes a long way, so it will last forever! Click Here To Buy The Nyx Dewy Finish Setting Spray Staying Cool and Hydrated We always tell you to NEVER pay for water when you can get it for free at Disney World, which is why having your own water bottle comes in handy. There are water fountains and bottle stations ALL over the parks! We like the Healthy Human Water Bottle because it keeps our water cool longer (which is important on hot days). ©Amazon These bottles are also lightweight and so easy to carry around. Plus they come in about a billion shapes and sizes (the 32oz is perfect for us!). You can grab one now for $14.99 – $34.99, depending on the size you get. Click Here to Buy The Healthy Human Water Bottle We also highly recommend one accessory for this water bottle, the Healthy Human FLIP N SIP Stein Lid. Basically, this keeps your lid locked so that you don’t have any accidental spills. This is VERY important if you’re carrying this around in your day bag. Plus, it makes it easier to take a sip on the go (anyone else HATE unscrewing a water bottle lid to drink and feeling like they’re gonna pour the whole bottle on their face on accident?)! ©Amazon You can get the lid for $14,99. Click Here To Buy The Healthy Human FLIP N SIP Stein Lid So we’re not big fans of the paper straws at Disney World (especially for frozen drinks that seem to turn them to mush in seconds!), so we often carry our own straws. We like these Reusable Metal Straws from Amazon. They’re easy to clean, easy to store, and easy to use. Just whip one out when you need a decent straw for that frozen drink you just bought and stash it in the case to clean when you’re able to do so. ©Amazon This 3-Pack is available for $13.99. Click Here To Buy The Reusable Metal Straws In the heat of summer at Disney World, staying hydrated is so important, and sometimes you need a little more of a hydration boost than just water alone can provide. We highly recommend the Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier, which is just packets of powder with electrolytes that you can add to your water to give you that much more hydration. ©Amazon These come in several flavors (which makes your water a lot less boring, too). The flavors actually taste really good — not super sweet and not that chalky funky “this is sports drink” taste. They’re not cheap, but we take hydration seriously. Plus Florida water is notoriously…not tasty. You can get a package with 16 packets for $23.98. Click Here To Buy The Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier Staying cool is the important thing in the summer, and we like this Bladeless Neck Fan because it’s hands-free! You can just charge it via a USB charger and hang it around your neck and have a little breeze with you all day long. ©Amazon Sure, it might not be the coolest thing to wear at Disney World, but then again, if it helps beat that heat we’re here for it. This isn’t an all-the-time thing for us, but it’s one of those things that when we need it, we’re SO glad we have it. You can grab one for $24.49. Click Here To Buy The Bladeless Neck Fan If you rather have a mini fan to hold, though, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the VersionTECH Mini Handheld Fan that you can carry around with you easily enough and it will blow just enough air to keep you cool on those hot Florida days. ©Amazon This one is also charged via USB (yay! No fumbling for batteries!) and available for $13.98. Click Here To Buy The VersionTECH Mini Handheld Fan We’re also big fans of Cooling Towels in the summer, like this Balhvit 2 Pack of Instant Relief Cooling Towels. This towel lets you use it around your neck, as a bandana, or as a headband, so you can choose where to place it for maximum cool relief. ©Amazon Just run it under some water, whip it around in the air for a sec and boom — coolness. If you want to chill it out again, just give it a few flicks in the air and you’re good to go! Grab this 2-pack now for $11.99. Click Here To Buy The Balhvit 2 Pack of Instant Relief Cooling Towels Other Gear When we go to Disney World, especially in the summer, many of us prefer dresses and skirts over shorts (trust us — they’re SO much comfier). But there’s one thing you’ll need if you’re going to do that — Slipshorts. We like these by Jockey from Target. They’re light AND they wick away sweat. ©Target And they’re only $12 a pair. We’ve seriously turned SO MANY people on to these. Total. Gamechangers. We have many and they are at the top of our must-have lists when it comes to things you need for Disney World. Click Here To Buy These Slipshorts We don’t like to think about it, but at the end of a day or two at Disney World, and everything starts to hurt. (You know that feeling when you first get out of bed in the morning and your whole body from your feet up HURTS? Yea. That. ) There is a LOT of walking involved and sometimes you need relief for painful muscles. So we don’t go to Disney World without Tiger Balm and we’re not ashamed to admit it. ©Amazon It has a strong menthol/camphor smell that’s almost cinnamony to us, but it WORKS. Just don’t get it near your eyes — OUCH. This really does help alleviate sore muscles and you can grab it from Amazon for $8.69. Click Here To Buy Tiger Balm Something else that happens that we don’t like to talk about is all the chafing that happens when our bodies get sweaty at Disney World — especially our feet. And chafing plus sweat gives you blisters and no one wants that! We use Body Glide Original Anti-Chafe Balm to prevent that from happening. ©Amazon It works just like a stick of deodorant but you can use it almost anywhere. Forgot to get those slipshorts we mentioned above? This stuff will SAVE YOUR LIFE. And it’s $14.99. Click Here To Buy Body Glide Original Anti-Chafe Balm Finally, we understand that regardless, blisters are going to happen, and when they do, you’ll need Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin Plus. This will help you protect those parts of your feet that start getting sensitive when you’ve been on your feet all day. Keep this in your day bag, folks! ©Amazon This moleskin comes as a square that you just cut to size. And you can also use it pre-emptively if you know you have specific friction spots on your feet that always give you issues. We often will pre-cut these into more usable-sized strips and stash them in our bag to use if danger strikes! Grab a pack of three now for $9.95. Click Here To Buy Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin Plus So there you have it — everything we make sure to have on hand when we go to Disney World. If you spot us in the parks, you can bet we’ll be toting most (if not all) of this gear around! We hope this has been helpful for you too so that you’re as prepared as possible for your next Disney World trip.

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel is a classic Disney spot! From the creative cocktails to the crazy shenanigans like sinking seats and volcanic eruptions, there’s more to this bar than just food and drinks! It’s one of those places where you go for the experience as much as you do the great food! Trader Sam’s Trader Sam’s reopened alongside the Disneyland Hotel and Tangaroa Terrace on July 2nd, so we went over to check it out! If you want to grab a seat at Trader Sam’s check out the new virtual queue that they’ve set up! For outdoor dining, you can join this queue any time after 11AM, while the indoor dining queue opens up at 4PM! Either way, you can scan the QR code near the restaurant’s entrance to join the queue. The QR code for the new digital queue at Trader Sam’s! Today, there weren’t many people lined up at the classic bar, which seems about right considering the virtual queue makes it so you don’t have to stand in line. Not much of a line today! We joined the virtual queue and after 45 minutes, we sat down at the outdoor accommodations. Our lovely outdoor seating for our meal! During the daytime and the evening, there’s plenty of outdoor seating! Lots of great seats outside! And in the afternoon, the indoor seating and bar open up! So much memorabilia! Now, for the most important question…what did we get? Let’s get into it! Inside Trader Sam’s! There were a few menu changes that we spotted prior to the reopening. You can see those here! Now, let’s get into the eats. To start off we got the Panko-crusted Long Beans served with Togarashi Aïoli! Panko-crusted Long Beans! Next, we got the Hawaiian Platter with Furikake seasoned Thai Jasmine Rice and Macaroni Salad with Poached Chicken Breast! The Hawaiian Platter! Finally, we grabbed the Angus 1/2 lb Hawaiian Cheeseburger with Grilled Pineapple, Applewood-smoked Bacon, Havarti Cheese, Butter Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, and Sweet-and-Spicy Spread, served with Sweet Potato Fries! The Angus 1/2 lb Hawaiian Cheeseburger! We had a great time being back at Trader Sam’s! It was nice to stop by a classic Disneyland spot and have a nice bite to eat!

It’s 4th of July Weekend everyone! OooOoo Look at that Funnel Cake! We’ve already seen some patriotic treats around Disney World for Independence Day, like a 4th of July Cupcake at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, a fruity funnel cake in Hollywood Studios, and an amazing Star-Spangled Sundae in Animal Kingdom! And today, we found another festive dessert that will help you ring in the holiday! This is the All American Mickey Cupcake from BoardWalk Bakery at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn (which just officially reopened, by the way!). This cupcake is ready to celebrate! The cupcake is basically the same as the bakery’s Cookies ‘n Cream Cupcake, just with a red, white, and blue makeover! So many sprinkles! It’s a chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling (AKA Oreo filling) and vanilla frosting. It’s decorated with red, white, and blue sprinkles and two circular pieces of chocolate on top to look like Mickey’s ears! We love Mickey treats! The frosting was super sweet, but the Oreo center was absolutely delicious! We could definitely use a cold glass of milk with this dessert. That filling thooo Definitely pick this cupcake up if you’re a chocolate lover or if you just want a patriotic treat for the 4th of July! It would make a super cute Instagram story! You can get it at BoardWalk Bakery at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn for $5.99. We’ll be on the lookout for more Independence Day goodies, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

We’re just days away from the 4th of July and we’ve already seen a number of themed snacks arrive in Disney World. Cloudy Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios We’ve had a stand-out treat at Beaches & Cream, and a 4th of July cupcake at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Today we spotted a classic snack in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that has received a bit of a makeover just in time for the 4th! Sometimes there’s nothing better than chowing down on a delicious funnel cake covered in ice cream in Disney World. Over at Epic Eats in Disney’s Hollywood Studios you can some for you and your friends and family to enjoy. We’ve seen some special, themed funnel cakes come to this spot in the past, and today we found another one! Epic Eats It looks like the classic funnel cake topped with strawberries has received a 4th of July makeover! OooOoo Look at that Funnel Cake! While the ice cream is blue in color, it is the traditional soft-serve vanilla ice cream that is usually served with this treat. Specifically, this is a funnel cake with strawberry topping and soft-serve vanilla ice cream (turned blue), topped with some fun sprinkles. Check Out Those Sprinkles and Strawberries! Again, this is essentially just Epic Eat’s traditional strawberry funnel cake (which we’ve had this before) with a new limited-time look. But, the mix of the bright red and bright blue colors made this treat very fun to look at. Our reporter had several people walk up to them to ask about it! So be warned, if you grab this treat you might have some fellow park friends ask you where you got it (and then you’ll get to look like a pro and point them to Epic Eats). Funnel Cake With a View Not only does it look pretty, it tastes delicious too!! The strawberry topping was like a strawberry compote (similar to what we had in another treat recently), which helped the treat from becoming too soggy. Of course, the center of the funnel cake does get pretty soggy quickly because of all the toppings, but the outside stayed nice and crunchy. And the mix of the flavors was great! Even Dale wanted a bite of this limited time treat! We tried to give him some, but he had to say hello to more friends. Next time Dale! Want to Share Dale? We expect this version of the snack will only be around for a very limited time during the holiday weekend so be sure to look for it and snag it while you can. You can grab it right now for $8.49 (plus tax). We’ll look for more fun treats all around Disney World and let you know what we find.

We’re firmly in the summertime at Disney World, so you’ll need to be thinking about the weather when you plan. Storm Clouds! Summer in Orlando brings with it a whole SLEW of weather-based difficulties. From hot temperatures to afternoon downpours, to HURRICANES; you’ll have your hands full trying to stay comfortable if you’re not prepared. We’re here to help with an update on the weather in Disney World next week! Weather Forecast Next week is going to be an interesting one as there’s a chance we’ll see Hurricane Elsa pass over Orlando. Even if it doesn’t end up directly over Disney World, you’ll probably still see the effects when you’re in the parks! Magic Kingdom We’ve been seeing almost-daily heavy showers and, as you might guess, that’s not likely to change with a big storm heading our way. According to The Weather Channel, we should stay ready for warm and rainy days! July 5th Monday, July 5th will start the week with warmer temperatures for the week. Don’t expect too much variation from day to day! It’s going to be warm, but not crazy hot. Monday is going to max out at an 88-degree high and we’ll see 75 degrees at night. ©The Weather Channel Monday kicks off with some scattered showers and storms AND an extreme UV index. That’s why it’s so important to wear that sunscreen even if you’re seeing clouds! July 6th The next day, July 6th brings us a slightly cooler forecast to the day before with a high of 85 degrees during the day and keeping that low down at 75 degrees. ©The Weather Channel Tuesday and Wednesday will be the most heavily impacted by the storm. Expect winds and KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FORECAST. It could change drastically as we learn more about Hurricane Elsa. July 7th On Wednesday, July 7th, we’re going to see temps hang out in the same place at 86 degrees during the day. Your low is going to stick with 75 degrees. ©The Weather Channel We should see some clearing up of the rain in the evening hours here. But remember, these days could have SUPER fickle predictions with that storm moving through. July 8th For Thursday, July 8th, we’re seeing a day that is slightly warmer. Expect temps in the high-80s and a beautiful evening at 74 degrees. ©The Weather Channel It looks like Tuesday will be the one day with drastically high winds, but that rain chance stays notable throughout the week. July 9th The week continues with a mostly sunny day for once! We’ll see high-80s in the day and a mid 70s night on July 9th. ©The Weather Channel Keep in mind that these days that have rain in the forecast don’t necessarily guarantee you’ll see precipitation, but it is likely! Still, you COULD get lucky and dodge the showers later in the week. July 10th Saturday, July 10th brings us the warmest temps of the week with a high in the high-80s. You could see some rain on Saturday too! ©The Weather Channel Here, we’ll see an 89-degree high and a 75-degree low. July 11th And we’ll wrap up our week on July 11th with the same temperatures as the prior day and (Can you believe it!?) a potentially rainless forecast! ©The Weather Channel If we can manage to stay dry at least one full day, we’ll consider that a win. Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures are projected to hang out in about the same place for the whole week. We’re looking at a range of 80s highs and 70s lows. ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©The Weather Channel …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©The Weather Channel Florida’s weather can change on a dime on a NORMAL week and that’s even more true when we’ve got a storm coming in. Keep checking that weather forecast and be prepared to adjust your expectations as needed. Click here to see the essentials you need for your park bag! Tips for Weathering the Weather! We’ve got you covered with some tips to help you out with next week’s weather! How to be ready for a BIG storm in Disney World! Rain is a pretty common occurrence during Florida summer, so we typically recommend carrying a rain layer like a poncho or rain jacket. But there are a few other things to keep in mind when we’re dealing with hurricanes or tropical storms. Siiiinging in the raaaaaain Hurricane Elsa is currently classified as a Category 1 storm, but that could change! If the weather poses danger to guests, Disney will react accordingly. 6 tips for planning a trip during hurricane season in Disney World! You may see ride closures and Disney has even closed the entire parks in the past for more severe hurricanes. Be ready to deal with rain, but also go in with flexible expectations! Remember, Cast Members want your stay to be magical — and part of that comes with keeping you safe. For more tips on surviving Disney World weather, click here! Stay dry and cool. Whether the storm is super severe or ends up bringing over some passing rain, you’re going to want to do what you can to stay dry and cool in the parks next week. Just because it’s rainy, doesn’t mean it’s not HOT. Sunscreen Stay hydrated and take breaks when you need to! Plus, when you’re wearing sunscreen (because you SHOULD be wearing sunscreen), you’ll need to consider reapplying when you’re caught in a shower. Everywhere to get FREE water in Disney World now!

Whether you’re headed to Disney World or elsewhere, there have been some challenges when it comes to travel recently. Orlando International Airport Spring Break Crowds As the demand for travel returns, airports and airlines have been contending with some staffing issues in the wake of the global health crisis. Now, TSA screenings have surpassed 2019 levels as we near the 4th of July. According to CNBC, the TSA screened 2.15 million people on Thursday. That’s nearly 3% more than were screened on July 1st, 2019. This is the first time since the start of the global health crisis that screenings have exceeded 2019 levels. Orlando International Airport We’re expecting high crowds in Disney World this weekend, but it seems travel is up around the country heading into the holiday. This milestone shows a surge in air travel demand following the rollout of vaccines. Orlando International Airport Still, screening levels are not expected to hold above the 2019 figures. July 1st of 2019 was a Monday and low point for the week, whereas July 1st, 2021 was a busier day. Orlando International Airport When traveling, you may also run into more hiccups than usual as demand pushes airlines past their current supply capabilities in some cases. Some airlines have canceled flights and delays have been a common occurrence. Flying to Orlando When traveling to or from Disney World, make sure you budget extra time for potential security lines and flight delays. You may get lucky and avoid them, but they are a possibility at this time. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates and how they affect your Disney trip.
