We’ll occasionally reference E-ticket attractions throughout this guide. So, we should probably explain what those are. Long story short, these are the best rides at a theme park. To understand why, we’ll need a quick history lesson. When Disneyland opened in 1955, guests paid per attraction. They’d buy ticket books. Then, they’d use their tickets […]
Walt Disney World hosts dozens of family-friendly attractions and many thrill rides to boot. Of course, Disney cares more about ride safety than anyone else in the industry. Every quarter, Disney World posts its theme park-related injuries, and the list typically consists of an average of one or two attractions, a stunning feat. Hundreds of […]
Eating at Disney’s Animal Kingdom matters more than at the other Disney parks. We say this because you’re likely to burn more calories at Animal Kingdom than anywhere else. This park covers 580 acres, and while you won’t have access to all of it – the animals need their space! – you’ll still walk a […]
Shopping at Disney’s Animal Kingdom offers so many opportunities for unusual items. Since this park has themed lands based in Africa, Asia, and the fictional Pandora, you’ll find cultural offerings that are unavailable anywhere else in the parks! Additionally, since Animal Kingdom is home to more than 300 species and 5,000 animals, you may find […]
You’ll enjoy every visit to Hollywood Studios since you know you are experiencing some of Disney’s finest attractions.

You’ll start every visit heading north on […]
When we put together the single-day itineraries for Walt Disney World’s theme parks, we came to one instant conclusion. By far the hardest park is Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While you really cannot mess up at the other three parks, that’s not the case here. We’ve had a couple of instances, including a memorable one during […]
Every Walt Disney World theme park offers more than enough dining options to keep you fed and fueled for your park visit. Alas, some parks are better than others, and let’s just say that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is no EPCOT. Still, we can tell you several places to target and a few to avoid. Here’s […]
Throughout MickeyGuides, we’ll reference Authorized Disney Vacation Planners, which is a certification Disney provides to qualifying travel agencies. Disney upholds rigorous standards for which agencies must qualify. Otherwise, businesses like MickeyTravels cannot call themselves Authorized Disney Vacation Planners. We’ve mentioned how some people perceive Disney vacations as more complicated than ever. While we don’t believe […]
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon When people ask us which Disney World water park is better, we have a standard reply. Blizzard Beach works better for families traveling with small children, while Typhoon Lagoon is better for adults. We should clarify that this is just our opinion, but you’ll find many similar assessments online. The addition of […]
We adore the theming at both of Disney’s water parks, as they’re equally absurd in the best possible way. At Blizzard Beach, you may forget you’re vacationing in Florida. That’s because the theme here involves a (fictional) blizzard in the area. Some terrible entrepreneurs foolishly believed cold weather was here to stay in the Sunshine […]
