As a Walt Disney World fan first and foremost, I love that Imagineering has created unique characters for the theme parks. This is a salute to those characters with no connection to Disney’s animated or live action films, but are instead original intellectual property created for the parks. (Updated June 22, 2024.) Don’t get me
Honestly, this list should not exist. It’s true that some rides are better at Walt Disney World than Disneyland. But it’s very difficult to argue that there are 10 such attractions, even if playing fast and loose with the list and including shows and rides that are ‘spiritual successors’ to one another. There’s a reason
I’ve gone solo to Walt Disney World about a dozen times in the last year or so, with Sarah unable to accompany me due to erring on the side of caution during pregnancy and before Baby Bricker hit the six month mark. In so doing, I’ve made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot
Walt Disney World vs. Disneyland is a debate that’s been done to death, including on this blog. There is no actual answer, just an “it depends.” With that said, it’s fairly undeniable that the California parks have the definitive version of several attractions, besting their counterparts at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. This list covers
Free Dining has returned for 2024, which means it’s time to start making Advance Dining Reservations for popular Walt Disney World table service restaurants well in advance (hence the name).

During the next decade, Walt Disney World is going to reimagine rides in Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom. Probably several that are overdue for replacement as well as opening day originals in need of updates. This lists the attractions that are prime candidates to be overhauled and what we’d like to see if
We have a lot of top 10 lists for eating at Walt Disney World. Ones for table service restaurants, counter service, bars & lounges, character meals, resorts, fireworks views, themed dining, and more. This ranks our absolute favorites–places we love, repeat for fun, and would recommend to friends planning 2024 trips. For this, we’re going
There’s no reason to believe that the EPCOT overhaul has a phase 2 on the horizon. Walt Disney World has not hinted at it, and instead suggested that the transformation project is finished with the debut of CommuniCore Hall and Plaza. Even if they had, second phases of projects often fall through. However, there’s a
Whether you’re a character hunter or ride diehard who has never done a dedicated meet & greet, I think we all can agree that seeing Minnie & Mickey Mouse or other beloved furry friends at Walt Disney World is exciting. That’s doubly true when they’re rare characters who seldom make appearances. Ever since Walt Disney World brought
Every Walt Disney World fan has extinct attractions that they miss, and would give anything to see one last time. This post takes a look at some of our favorite long-gone offerings from Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios, but with a twist: everything on this list actually could return. (Updated March 17, 2024.) While
This month, Walt Disney World filed a construction permit for the extinct NBA Experience building at Disney Springs. This post shares details of the demolition, a brief history of the interactive experience that time has (already forgotten), and what we’d like to see come next for the former DisneyQuest space. This is not really a
