    Former Disney Employee Exposes Enormous Park “Scam”

    Many Disney Park Guests think that their goal with every Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort vacation (not to mention other Disney theme parks across the pond or even further worldwide) should be to experience as much time within the Disney Parks as possible and to maximize their customer experience by waking up very early in the morning for Early Entry into Disney Parks. Being in a Disn

    Experience the Enchantment of Disney Like Never Before with This New Collaboration

    One of the biggest reasons fans love the Disney Parks is because of how magical the Disney experience is. It's a little bubble, plucked out of this world, where fans can escape the realities and stresses of everyday life, even if just for a moment. And one thing that all Disney Fanatics love is being able to take a piece of that Disney magic home, or at least being able to experience the Disney ma

    Disney Throws Viewers For A Loop With ‘National Treasure’ Reboot

    Fans of Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, or the German actress Diane Kruger will probably already be familiar with the National Treasure series that made action-adventure history as a popular Disney franchise.

    The Walt Disney Company might seem infallible, but as with any company as large as Disney, there will inevitably be some chinks in the company armor. According to journalist Scott Gustin, Disney is facing a huge IT challenge — and not just when it comes to Disney Parks like the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios! “A widespread glitch” is apparently threat

    A Beloved Disney Ride Is Closing Indefinitely

    While it can be disappointing, dealing with either a Walt Disney World Resort or a Disneyland Resort attraction or ride closure is part and parcel of the Disney experience. As a part of being able to meet the safety standards set forth and ensure that every Theme Park and Disney Park Guest has a safe time at the Disney Parks while also meeting the high bar for a Disney Resort visit, many attractio

    ‘Star Wars’ Toy Sparks Heated Debate and Nightmares

    There’s not much that Star Wars fans can agree on. Ask them who shot first; they should correctly answer Han Solo. But keep asking the question, and you may get as many Greedos as Solos. Start to ask fans about the prequels or the three most recent sequels, and there is bound to be a fist fight. That is how deep opinions on all things Star Wars-related run. However, there is one thing that nearly

    Could TRON Virtual Queue will be Easier to Join in the Morning?

    Attention all would-be Guests who have their eyes set on TRON Lightcycle/Run at the Walt Disney World Resort: The Tomorrowland entry point to the Grid will only be accessible via Virtual Queue and Individual Lightning Lane when it finally opens on April 4, 2023, but one aspect about this roller coaster makes me think that it won't be as much of a nightmare to join as other rides before. Thanks, in
