Spooky season in Magic Kingdom kicks off today with the first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party happening tonight.
The Headless Horseman riding out in front of the Boo to You Halloween Parade is iconic!
Warning! Do NOT pull rope! This is how the sign reads, but it’s easy to miss that the word “NOT” is crossed out. So it actually reads “Do Pull Rope.”
When we are in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, my kids like to stop by this fun spot next to Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. It’s always a surprise to see what funny phrase comes up from the mine.
I think a lot of people don’t know about this little Easter egg.
Have you pulled this rope?
If you need me, I’ll be at EPCOT.
Do you rope drop or do you sleep in on your park days at Disney?
Talk about kicking someone while they’re down! 🤣
I was shocked at how absolutely drenched those people got on Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges ride in Islands of Adventure Park at Universal Orlando Resort. This ride makes Kali River Rapids in Disney World look like a light sprinkle. Definitely need your swim suit for that one! There are also full body blow dryers you can step into afterwards.
To add to it, people are poised with water cannons above you on Me Ship, The Olive ready to take cheap shots! 😂 It looked like so much fun! I’ll be the one on the ship taking cheap shots and staying off the barge.

Have you ever wondered what happens in Disney World when you are in the Genie+ Lightning Lane queue line and the ride unexpectedly breaks down? This happened to us recently in Epcot for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and I’ve documented it here so you’re prepared.
As you exit the queuing area, a cast member will scan your MagicBand to issue you a Lightning Lane Experience Redemption credit which can be used once for select other Lightning Lane experiences through the end day.
When you’re ready to redeem your credit, simply walk up to any eligible Lightning Lane queue line and scan in.
Note, there is usually a list of rides that are not eligible to be used with the redemption credit, so check the app!

Pro-tip: If you’re heading to an Epcot festival, you need to download the WDW Food & Wine app!
You can view festival booth food items and save your favorites to a wishlist. Then, you can filter that wishlist on a map of Epcot so you can view only those booths that have your favorite items! Game changer! 🙌

Disney recently rolled out a new feature in the My Disney Experience app. You can now locate water bottle refill stations! This has been a question that comes up often and I’ve waiting soooo long for this feature!
Stay well hydrated in the parks, my friends. We don’t want anyone passing out!

Don’t make this mistake when it comes to using Virtual Queues at Disney World:❌ Don’t think that Virtual Queue is the same thing as using a Lightning Lane.❌ And don’t make the mistake of thinking once your Boarding Group number is called you will be able to walk onto the ride with a short wait.Virtual Queue is still standby, you are just waiting in line ‘virtually’ through the My Disney Experience app, instead of waiting in a physical line for 6 hours. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait in the physical line for 6 hours, but the Virtual Queue line can still take a surprising amount of time.When your Boarding Group is called (the group number you are assigned when you book a Virtual Queue) you will then proceed to the Virtual Queue line, not the Lightning Lane. ✨The important takeaway is that it may still take you 45min to an hour to get through the Virtual Queue line to ride once your Boarding Group is actually called.You need to plan accordingly for that to take a while when making dining reservations, mobile orders, or booking other Lightning Lanes. Also keep this in mind if you are doing Rider Switch. Party #2 waiting to ride should plan on grabbing a snack and/or riding another ride while Party #1 goes through the Virtual Queue line.At the time of this posting, there are 2 rides in Disney World with Virtual Queues: TRON Lightcycle/Run & Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.#tronlightcyclerun #magickingdom #disneyworld #virtualqueue #disneytravel #disneyfamilyvacation #disneytraveltips #guardiansofthegalaxy #cosmicrewind
Next time you’re in Disney World and it’s time to head to your table service dining reservation, make sure you use mobile check in! Don’t stand in the long line at the restaurant waiting to check in with hostess. Use your My Disney Experience app to check in and they’ll text you when your table is ready! I’m all about NOT waiting in lines while at Disney World!

If you’re heading to Disney World for vacation, one thing you’ll want to be aware of is how to join a Virtual Queue.
A Virtual Queue is just like it sounds, you’re standing in line “virtually” through the My Disney Experience app rather than standing in a physical line. The benefit is you can enjoy other rides, shop, or grab a bite to eat while you wait for your boarding group to be called.
At the time of this posting, there are just 2 rides utilizing Virtual Queue at Disney World - Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in Epcot; and TRON Lightcycle/ Run in Magic Kingdom.

As a travel agent who visits Disney World often, I would not do these 3 things in Magic Kingdom:
[‼️ First, save this for future reference]
❌ During party season (i.e Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party & Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party), I would not go to Magic Kingdom on a non-party day and try to watch the normal nightly fireworks show from the hub or Main Street. This is a nightmare, I’ll never do it again. The crowds during party season on a non-party night are insane right before, during, and after the fireworks. Watch from behind Cinderella Castle; although, you won’t see the projections from here which I do feel like takes away from the show.
❌ I would never not utilize Early Entry. If you are staying on site at a Disney owned resort hotel or a Good Neighbor hotel, you can enter the park 30 min earlier than everyone else. There is so much to do between rides and entertainment, and with it being a more crowded park it always seems to take longer to get things done here. I need every bit of that extra 30 minutes at Early Entry in Magic Kingdom.
❌ I would never not buy Lightning Lanes at Magic Kingdom. Call me a big baby, but I am not waiting 90 minutes in line for Peter Pan’s Flight or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Nope, nope, nope.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park, near the entrance of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, you will find a mysterious rope leading down into the depths of the earth. Next to it is a sign that says Warning! Do Not Pull Rope, but the word “Not” is actually crossed out if you look closely. Go ahead a give the rope a pull and listen for one of several cheeky phrases that resonate from below. This is easy to miss, look for this fun hidden gem next time you’re in Hollywood Studios!
