Send us a textHave you ever watched someone experience Disney World for the first time? There's something magical about witnessing that transformation from skepticism to wonder. On our latest adventure to Florida, that's exactly what happened when Kristie, previously Disney-indifferent, fell head over heels for Animal Kingdom.Our journey began with a coastal Florida road trip before diving into an action-packed two-day Disney experience. We strategically planned our park days, starting with Animal Kingdom where our rope drop strategy paid off magnificently. While crowds rushed to Flight of Passage, we conquered both Expedition Everest and Dinosaur before the park even opened to regular guests! This early start, combined with strategic Lightning Lane usage, allowed us to experience everything Animal Kingdom offers—from the breathtaking Festival of the Lion King show to the immersive animal trails where Christy spent so much time watching the gorillas we almost missed our next reservation.Food became an unexpected highlight, especially at Satu'li Canteen where we discovered incredible non-meat options during our Lent Friday visit. The Chili Garlic Shrimp Bowl with sweet potato hash and surprising boba pearls created a flavor combination that was absolutely outstanding and has become a must-try recommendation.Day two took us to Epcot during the bustling Flower and Garden Festival. Despite initial hesitation, rope dropping Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind proved to be the perfect decision. The 40-minute wait was more than worth it for what might be Disney's most thrilling and immersive new attraction. Living with the Land emerged as a surprising group favorite, while World Showcase provided essential food experiences like School Bread from Norway and fish and chips from the UK that were so good they've become a personal go-to.Perhaps most valuable was our resort hopping experience, which gave us a broader appreciation for Disney's diverse accommodations. From the elegant Grand Floridian to the rustic charm of Port Orleans Riverside, these explorations helped shape future stay preferences while creating additional magical moments outside the parks.Whether you're planning your first Disney trip or your fiftieth, we hope our experiences offer some helpful insights and inspiration. Have you witnessed someone's first Disney transformation? We'd love to hear your stories in the comments!Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Speaking of walls, they're not just at the Grand Floridian. New construction walls have popped up across nearly every park: Hollywood Studios—Little Mermaid, Animal Kingdom Dino Land, Epcot Test Track, and Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion.   Animal Kingdom Welcomes More Baby Animals More little ones have arrived at Animal Kingdom just in time for spring! From baby zebras to fluffy flamingos, the park is full of new life—making Kilimanjaro Safaris even more magical.   Disney Adventure World: Lion King Land Update At Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris, Disney Adventure World shared an update about its Lion King-themed expansion. The immersive area continues to take shape and promises to be a highlight of the resort's transformation.  Is it Splash Mountain?   Disney Destiny Cruise Ship News The next Disney Cruise Line fleet ship, the Disney Destiny, continues to reveal more details.

If you're heading to Walt Disney World in April 2025, get ready for a month of generally warm weather, with temperatures staying fairly consistent throughout the month. Are there a few surprises in the forecast? Read on to find out. How to Dress for April Weather at Disney WorldHere is what you need to know when planning your outfits and packing for your April Disney World vacation.Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in April 2025The weather forecast for April 2025 at Walt Disney World is looking very good. Daytime highs are expected to range anywhere from 79°F to 90°F (26°C to 32°C), with nighttime lows ranging anywhere from 68°F to 75°F (20°C to 24°C). The month of April in Orlando is expected to be incredibly consistent overall. Generally, you can expect sunny or mostly sunny days in the mid-80°Fs, with very comfortable evenings and nights in the low 70°Fs. Heading to late night extra magic hours? No need to add layers in AprilApril 2025 should bring near perfect weather for your Walt Disney World vacation.If this weather pattern holds, rain should not be an issue. At this point there are only a handful of days where rain is expected and overall, April 2025 is forecast to be a drier month than the average April in Orlando. If April showers bring May flowers, it's a good thing that Disney already brought the flowers.As always, check the local weather forecast for the Walt Disney World and Orlando areas in the days leading up to your vacation. This will give you the most accurate forecast for your Disney vacation.What to Pack for Walt Disney World in April 2025Building on a very nice month of March, packing for your April 2025 Walt Disney World trip is easy. Pack for a warm, summer-like Florida vacation. The best part is there will be very low humidity compared to the summer months. No need to worry about your clothes sticking to you.UV, however, will be hovering around 10 almost every day, so bear that in mind. You can confidently pack your favorite warm weather clothing, including shorts, t-shirts, dresses and so on. Whatever you normally like to wear for a warm sunny day in the parks is going to be perfect for April. Evenings will be quite mild, so you won't need a hoodie, sweatshirt or light jacket to keep warm (although if you like to wear them, you should be okay to do so after dark without being too hot). Packing for Events at Walt Disney World in April 2025Another consideration for Disney World packing is what to wear for special events or holidays.So what events are happening at Walt Disney World in April 2025?The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing in April. This year's event is quite good, with plenty of blooms, food and drink to go around. So, if you want to pack a floral or nature-inspired outfit for the festival (or just your favorite flowy spring attire), this is the place to do it.Plus, the Garden Rocks concert series (the musical part of the Flower and Garden Festival) features popular retro bands every day.  Got a favorite concert t-shirt that you love to wear? It will fit right in at EPCOT.Other Walt Disney World events to be aware of in April 2025 include the runDisney Springtime Surprise weekend (April 3 to 6), which features a 5K, 10K and 10-mile race, among other things. Beware of extra crowds and potential road closures for this one.Plus, the big event of the month is Easter, which takes place on Sunday, April 20. Easter is another fun event to pack a special outfit for, especially if you will be lucky enough to staying onsite on Easter morning.

Here is my mega trip report from my trip at the end of January beginning of February 2025 to Walt Disney World, and a Disney Cruise on the Disney Wish! I review my stay at multiple Disney resorts, including the Polynesian Island Tower Disney's Boardwalk with a boardwalk view dvc studio, Grand Floridian resort studio, and the classic Polynesian deluxe studio. I also talk about the amazing value I got out of using the Disney Dining Plan more specifically the quick service dining plan and all the wonderful food I ate. I go over our Disney Wish cruise, which was the first time we went to Lookout Cay and ate at both Palo Steakhouse brunch and dinner (and tell you which one was better).

Today, Amanda Caseiro shares the story of her Wedding Pavilion ceremony and Grand Floridian Convention Center reception at the St. Augustine A–C ballrooms. She and Michael love Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, but when its ceremony venue was removed during construction, they had to pivot to create the Enchanted Tiki Room-inspired event they wanted at the Grand Floridian instead. Today you'll hear how they did this by working with their chef to customize a tropical menu and using an outside floral and décor vendor to create an island paradise inside a ballroom for less.  Click here to see all the photos!
