    News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

    Yes, that's what my kids said (10 and 13 years old). They have spent a lot of time in California bc we have family there, so they were excited to see it for that reason but other than that they said they were basically the same. They just liked the transitions better in SATW which is why they...

    News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

    Just saw SOC this weekend. My kids have seen SATW dozens of times, this was their first time seeing SOC. Their takeaways - the smells were much better (more of them, and they were stronger), but the lack of transitions were jarring and they like SATW better. So I guess they are the minority...

    Trip Report Some Trips Are Worth Melting For - A swelteringly magical 8 days in the happiest (hottest) place on Earth

    we were there this weekend and it was flying the entire day we were in DS. The line was huge so we didn't even try - we figured it would shut down as soon as we got in line anyway 🤣

    Day 8! Going home 😩 Our final day at WDW but we had a late flight so we made the best of it. Our Aerophile saga concludes here as well lol. So, after sleeping in a bit (not too long, still had things to do!), we made our way over to DS for some shopping and a final attempt to ride the...

    Genie/LL Hopper Strategy

    I'm doing a split HS and Epcot day and doing HS first. I would rope drop MF because you will be able to walk on while everyone runs to RotR or SDD. Save your LL for something else (I would say SDD but you said you don't want to do that, so then Toy Story Mania). You can also single ride RRC if...

    Day 7! Our final park day 😩😩😩 For our final park day, we were doing the extra evening hours event at Epcot. Since this was scheduled to 1am, we needed to rest during the day! So once again we took advantage of the hotel activities, which included the Pop Scavenger hunt (we do this every year...

    8 days until my next trip so I better hurry up and finish this trip report first! Day 6 - Typhoon Lagoon! I have not been to Typhoon Lagoon since the summer it opened, 1989. The only thing I remember about it is being TERRIFIED swimming through Shark Reef. So this was basically a new...

    Day 5! Magic Kingdom! We only had one day at MK so we were prepared to make it a long one! Our initial “rope drop Space Mountain” plan was foiled however, when we got there only to learn it was down and they didn’t know when it would be opening. So we decided to make our way over to Fantasyland...

    Day 4! Epcot day! Epcot is our favorite park so this trip we gave it plenty of time – in addition to a full day, we also had the after hours event planned for our last night. That allowed us to really take our time going through World Showcase and taking advantage of everything it had to offer...

    Day 3! Hollywood Studios! (I just typed this entire thing and my computer froze and I lost it all, so here I go again!) So…HS. I am and will always be an old-school MGM girl. I miss the old rides and the way the park used to be about making movies, and not just IP. Also, we’ve seen Beauty and...

    Day 2! Animal Kingdom day! We have not been to Animal Kingdom since 2019, and the last time we were there, we did a split day with HS, so we were excited to have a full day here this trip. We rope dropped Expedition Everest and it was so empty we walked on twice in a row and were in almost...

    News Peak heat index to hit 112F at Walt Disney World theme parks this week

    We just got back (there 8/2-8/11) and I have never been so hot in my life. I have also never seen so many people trying to watch the Hall of Presidents and the American Adventure lol. We even watched to movies in Canada and China to escape the heat! It was terrible.

    Day 1! Travel day! Super early flight from LGA to MCO. We arrived around 11am and were able to check into our room immediately. Had some lunch at the food court and then decided to head over to Disney Springs to do the Aerophile before we saw Cirque du Soleil. We got there and were told it...
