Kali River Rapids closed for its annual refurbishment period during the winter months back in January, but it’s back and ready to welcome (and soak) the eager Spring Break crowds at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. It opened back up today without much fanfare, although wait times shot up to 40 minutes right upon opening, and unless … Read more
Yesterday, we noticed some new Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary signs dotting the light posts that welcome you down Hollywood Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While we last got a peek at some Incredibles-themed banners back in January, it appears even more banners have popped up throughout the park, featuring Mickey, Minnie, and friends in their … Read more
Time for lemonade and cracker jack, Casey Jr.’s back! For well over a year, Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station sat dejected in the Storybook Circus section of Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom, direly in need of a good cleaning, painting, and overall refurbishment. The water play area closed to guests from February 11th, 2019 to March … Read more
It seems that while many bemoan the existence of specially ticketed events, these events continue with massive success. (We actually recommend it and believe it may be worth the price for many park-goers.) Early Morning Magic at the Magic Kingdom is no exception to this, and because of it, they’ve decided to add on even … Read more
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is gearing up big time for its 30th anniversary.

When we heard Aunt Polly’s Restaurant was extending its hours and throwing down fresh PB&Js, we knew we had to take a raft over to the famed, elusive establishment. We didn’t have a bad experience there last time they were opened (we tried their pork sliders and mud brownie). So we figured, why not try … Read more
With a maximum speed of about 7 mph, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in the Magic Kingdom is quite possibly the slowest omnimover ride in all of Walt Disney World, but for two sets of guests, alleged issues with ride vehicles crashing into each other have caused injuries, and led to subsequent lawsuits. The Orlando … Read more

We reported earlier this week about the beginning stages of the process behind draining the moat surrounding Cinderella Castle. On a tour through the park today, we caught the latest updates on the progress, featuring an almost completely empty moat. It doesn’t look quite as magical with all that gunk at the bottom. The moat is … Read more
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is deep into revamping its look, with upcoming gondolas, brand new bus loops, and expanded bag check stations opening soon in preparation for the park’s 30th anniversary. Today marked the debut of new parking lot names (and their accompanying signage) at the park, starring characters represented in the park’s latest attractions, some of which open … Read more
We’ve been closely following the progress of the new bus loops at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and are pleased to announce that they are officially open today and welcoming their first set of guests. They’ve been direly needed after months of cramped, makeshift bus dropoff/pickup areas at the park, and we’re sure guests appreciate the new, … Read more
