  Written by: James Williams As we continue to get used to our "current normal", as I like to call it, at Walt Disney World there are still some questions about Rise of the Resistance.  Rise of the Resistance(RotR) is found at Disney's Hollywood Studio's in Galaxy's Edge.  If you have not experienced the virtual queue, or boarding pass, for RotR then this is a must read! Boarding Passes are not automatically given, you must be in the park in order to get your pass.  The first thing you need to make sure to have is the My Disney Experience(MDE) app on your phone.    This is the only way to secure a Boarding Pass.  Disney's Hollywood Studios is currently opening at 10:00 am, so you will want to make sure you are in the park before this time!  Everyone in your party must have already scanned their ticket and entered the park, this is a very important thing to remember as MDE will not let you select family/friends linked to your account without them i...

Written by James Williams Answers.... that's what every Disney fan in the world has been looking for.  Well more news has been confirmed by Disney and some people are not okay it.  We have learned that Primeval Whirl and Rivers of Light will not be returning at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom.  Primeval Whirl has been a seasonal attraction over the last year or so and this has lead many Disney fans wondering "why now?" A lot of guests enjoyed Primeval Whirl and was sad to see it moved to seasonal, but now it has closed forever.  Rivers of Light was just redone not too long ago.  While the original was not a fan favorite, the new show seemed to really be catching guest attention.  During the phased reopening, we knew that shows like this would not be available for a bit but now we have been told that it will not return.   Also, over at Magic Kingdom, we have news that Stitch's Great Escape will also remain closed.  While this is much of a s...

Written by James Williams One of the big concerns everyone has had with this years travel to Walt Disney World has been MASKS! It’s the talk of the world right? I’m not going to lie, we have this same concern. Why wouldn’t we? It’s hot and humid in Florida, we aren’t use to having something over our faces in such conditions and we all know kids won’t cooperate!  Well, here’s what we decided to do... TRAIN! We all know how much preparation goes into a Walt Disney World vacation. Most of us don’t walk that much in a single day at home(although we need to get better about this). Our crazy hyperactive boys definitely wont cooperate with masks at all right? I mean, we’ve just kept them at home and took them to certain places(typically outside) so that they’ve been able to stay safe and healthy. My job even allows me to stay away from people so I don’t have to wear a mask.  Well, today we started training with the boys, and I must say, it has went WAY better than expected! As of rig...

Photo credit: Christina Hall Written by: James Williams We have more and more news coming out of Disney! Late Monday evening, after we all had that crazy crazy day, Disney released the list of restaurants that will be opening with the parks. As always, remember that this list can change and we will update you as it does.  Something we noticed immediately is that Be Our Guest does not have the breakfast option! Now, if you know us, you know we love BOG for a pre-park opening breakfast(PPO)!  If you are wondering what restaurants will be available in the resorts, we’ve got you covered in our article  Resort Restaurants Re-opening Update on June 29, Oga’s Cantina has been removed from the original list. I would assume this has to do with bars being closed in Florida for the time being.  Update on June 30, Garden Grill will have modified character experiences although we are not 100% sure what these will be like we do predict it will be similar to what we are seeing at T...
