We conclude our Walt Disney World updates with our first-ever trip to Animal Kingdom. Well, not first ever, but our first dedicated progress report from the park. As we started doing these last summer after Pandora – World of Avatar debuted, there hasn’t been much construction at Animal Kingdom, and hence no major reason for
As we continue our October 2018 Walt Disney World construction updates, we arrive at Disney Springs, which is decked out for Halloween and fall in general.

We’ll continue sharing experiences from our recent Walt Disney World trip with something we haven’t done in a while: a trip report. While our construction updates and our crowd post tell some of the story, it’s been a while since I sat down and posted stray thoughts and photos from Walt Disney World in trip

In addition to most single and multi-day ticket prices increasing, so too have Annual Passes and parking. The new date-based ticket system utilizes a new interactive calendar, which is now accessible when you go to the
As you’ve probably gathered from the flurry of Walt Disney World construction updates, we just returned from a trip to Florida. Crowds and wait times were…interesting…and we thought we’d drop in here with our experiences, and some tips on ways to have the best experience possible if you’re visiting in October, November, or December.

We’re back at Coronado Springs to check-in on progress of the 15-story hotel tower, over-the-water restaurant, and pool refurbishment as we continue our ongoing October 2018 Walt Disney World construction updates.
