We leave Disney California Adventure and head across the Esplanade for our first Summer 2019 Disneyland update. This is basically everything new in the park except Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge…which isn’t much at all. Nevertheless, we have a lot of photos and touring advice that is potentially important. First, in case you missed it, all
We return to Disney California Adventure for our first Summer 2019 Disneyland Resort construction update and photo tour.

Magic Kingdom is the first stop in our June 2019 Walt Disney World photo reports. In this update, we’ll look at the Cinderella Castle walkway expansion, TRON Lightcycle Power Run construction, new restaurant menus, more Tomorrowland paint, and more. In what’s seeming to become a tradition, we visited on another partially overcast day–this time going
Walt Disney World has confirmed that new FastPass+ tiers will debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 29, 2019, which is not-so-coincidentally the date that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open. In this post, we’ll give you a rundown of the new tier breakdown, plus the motivation for the change. Basically, this will divide Disney’s
