NEW: Two of our absolute favorite days of the year at Magic Kingdom are back for Christmas 2026! The timing shifts for the first time in 4 years, but that'll help thin crowds. Here's what to know, why we love these days at MK & which one we'd recommend... disneytouristblog.com/fun-da…

NEW: Just when it seemed like the Poly was almost finished with its multi-year refurbishment, Walt Disney World extended the end to 2027. Here are details of what this entails, whether you should stay here or switch to a different Deluxe Resort & more... disneytouristblog.com/disney…

We prefer Art of Animation, especially when Cars comes up as part of the Disney+ or Visa sales, but this is the cheapest option on average, and is surprisingly good. disneytouristblog.com/all-st…

Heads up: Several LEGO sets on sale for 20-55% off, with deep discounts on Frozen, Star Wars, Moana, Lilo & Stitch, Advent calendars and more. disneytouristblog.com/best-l…

Unlimited PhotoPass photo storage without expiration is the big selling point for most Walt Disney World fans, but the game-changer for us is custom parks photo products. Picture-perfect grandparent Christmas presents, here we come! disneytouristblog.com/disney…

NEW: You might want to skip this despite it being a *great* sale unless you take advantage of the 'Plus' promo. The spring deal was a huge headache & waste of time for many members with regular status. Here's everything you need to know to save with ease! disneytouristblog.com/up-to-…

NEW: Is anyone surprised Iger wouldn't let Chapek fire the final shots in Disney's Battle of the Bobs?! We question what Iger gains by prolonging this, and explain why we hope it's more than the two highly-paid CEOs continuing to play the blame game... disneytouristblog.com/retire…

NEW: The demise of Disney’s Magical Express is still a sore subject for WDW fans. Here's how Mears Connect, which offers the same service (down to Disney-themed seats on some buses), stacks up. A lot has changed for better & worse, and I use it monthly... disneytouristblog.com/disney…

NEW: If you gave me 100 guesses, I wouldn't have gotten the restaurant right--such an odd spot! Walt Disney World's best cheap breakfast, worthy of a detour and the hype. Thankfully, it's easy from two parks for a satisfying post-rope drop reward... disneytouristblog.com/disney…

We once would've feared the worst, with a Tower of Terror update resulting in Disney IP replacing Twilight Zone. Now, we're excited as this teased project could be a promising plussing to WDW's iconic attraction. Here's why, and what we expect to change. disneytouristblog.com/disney…

NEW: Rumors are swirling about what the Tomorrowland reimagining will entail, and the biggest is Disney will relocate & rebuild Matterhorn. It's far-fetched, but it *is* plausible. Even so, here's why it's unlikely--and why we hope that it doesn't happen. disneytouristblog.com/will-d…

Savannah Bananas (and every other team in the league) return to Walt Disney World! For 2027, they're going bigger, with a mid-season tournament to decide a playoff spot 5 months early. It promises to be a blockbuster event... disneytouristblog.com/banana…

We settle a hot debate after Walt Disney World's price increases with a direct cost comparison. The answer is essentially: yes, but it's complicated. And with the yen at a 3-decade low as of late 2026, now is the time to go! Here's what you need to know! disneytouristblog.com/disney…

New dishes have debuted at Be Our Guest, two of which give the divisive Walt Disney World restaurant a more unique, 'fancy French fine dining(ish)' menu. The other good news is no price increase (again) for 2026! disneytouristblog.com/be-our…

NEW: For Walt Disney World fans, thematic packaging (figuratively & literally) is key--the difference is the details. That’s true with rides, but also restaurants, which is why we recommend checking out this new spot. It's a storytelling & savory treat! disneytouristblog.com/review…

Crowds this time of year catch Walt Disney World guests by surprise. The bad news is that off-season is over until 2027. The good is that the next few months are busy, but there are pockets of low crowds. Here's what's up with wait times, advice & more... disneytouristblog.com/disney…

NEW: This is disappointing news to many top-tier Castaway Club Members, us included. It's a short-term revenue win for DCL, but with negative long-term ramifications that seem penny wise, pound foolish. Disney should nurture its whales, not annoy them. disneytouristblog.com/disney…

The bad news is that Southwest rolled out a ton of changes today, including a metaphorical death blow to the Companion Pass. The good news is you have one last chance to use the hack we love for 2027-2028, until that 'loophole' closes in December... disneytouristblog.com/rip-so…
