Walt Disney World Park Closing Explained

Walt Disney World Park Closing Explained

Christmas and New Years is such a magical time to visit Walt Disney World, that is until you hear the rumors of parks closing and the crowds. I get it who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas in the most magical place on earth. As we look forward to 2019 and probably a pretty big crowd year, I want to take a moment to explain how the park closes, what a park closing actually means, and my recommendations for enjoying these peak times at the parks.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

When it comes to holidays everyone has their favorites, and Disney does them all. In fact, the holidays are usually peak times for Disney travel and for good reason. Walt Disney World seems to grab hold of the very essence of the Holiday and completely run with it. Halloween is no different. Growing up in south Louisiana this was always one of my favorite holidays, in part because fall meant cooler weather was on the way, but the rest I have to blame on my parents. Halloween was always the one holiday that they went all out. Decorations, candy, and costumes were just the start. Halloween night at our house was theatrics at its best. This was reason enough for Halloween to become one of my favorite holidays and one of my favorite times to go to Disney, for much of the same reason.

MyMagic+ is taking your Walt Disney World Vacation to new levels. We wanted to give you a rundown on how to make the most of the MyMagic+ system. Take a look at some of the benefits of using the MyMagic+ system.

This is also where you will pre-select your FastPass+, more about that below.

Hidden Gems at Disney

Hidden Gems at Disney

Hidden right in front of your eyes may be some of Disney’s best-kept secrets. It’s one of the things I love and appreciate so much about it. It is easy to get lost in the grander that is Disney, but for me, it’s the small touches that are right there under your nose that the majority of people probably overlook. For instance, have you ever noticed the peanut shells in the concrete near Dumbo’s Circus? What about the 13 lanterns hanging in the Liberty Tree to represent the original 13 colonies. Or the approximate 320 animals that make up the tree of life. I am not even going to try to give an approximate number of hidden Mickey’s in the parks and resorts.
