My Top Five Favorite Places To Cool Off In Magic Kingdom

Here are my favorite places to cool off in Magic Kingdom!

5. My fifth favorite place to cool off in Magic Kingdom is the Carousel of Process in Tomorrowland. The Carousel of Process is indoors and everyone can do the Carousel of Process because it is a show. The Carousel of Process is about how our technology has changed over the years and it is really fun! This show is great if you want to cool off because it is indoors.

4. The Pirates of the Caribbean is in Adventureland. It is a boat ride that shows you what it’s like to be a pirate and the pirates are trying to capture Jack Sparrow. This ride is indoors so it is perfect if you want to cool off.

3. The Enchanted Tiki Room is a show that is also in Adventureland. This show never has a line so it is a perfect place to go if you want to get away from the crowd. The Enchanted Tiki Room has audio-animation singing birds. The Enchanted Tiki Room is also indoors. If you would like to learn more about The Enchanted Tiki Room and see my full review click here!

2. My second favorite place to cool of in Magic Kingdom is the Jungle Cruise in Adventureland. (I know, Adventureland again!) On this boat ride you get to see fake animals with your tour guide. This ride is great if you need to cool off because the sun isn’t beating down on you.

Now this ride really depends on your tour guide. One time we had a great tour guide and so we enjoyed this ride. Another time we had an awful tour guide and so we didn’t enjoy our ride.

Now my number one favorite place to cool off in Magic Kingdom is Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover. In this ride you get to sit back, relax, and get a great tour of all of Tomorrowland. This ride is mostly shaded and the wind blows in your face.

If you want to cool off while you are at Magic Kingdom than I would totally recommend to do these shows and rides.

My Top Five Favorite Places To Cool Off In Hollywood Studios

This blog article is a part of the My Top Five Favorite Things series. I have not been to Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge so that is why I didn’t include anywhere in Galaxy’s Edge. Be sure to read all the way to the end because my second and first favorites may surprise you.

5. My fifth favorite place is Frozen Sing Along. Frozen Sing Along is an indoor show in Hollywood Studios. The storytellers of Arendelle tell the Frozen story and they are really funny! If you would like to see my Frozen Sing Along review click here!

4. My fourth favorite place is MuppetVison 3D. This show is indoors, in 3D, and is really fun!

3. My third favorite place to cool off is Toy Story Mania in Toy Story Land. It is an indoor 3D ride. If you would like to see my full Toy Story Mania review click here!

2. My second favorite place is Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage. This show is outside but you can still cool off here because the show has a lot of fans. Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage tells the story of Beauty and the Beast. If you would like to see my full review click here!

My favorite place to cool off in Hollywood Studios is Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. This indoor show teaches you how to be a race car driver like Lightning McQueen. If you would like to see my full review of Lighting McQueen’s Racing Academy click here!

I really recommend to try these shows and rides when you are hot at Hollywood Studios.

My Top Five Favorite Places To Cool Off In Epcot

I go to Disney World in August and it is always SUPER HOT. Here is a list of my favorite places to cool off in Disney World.

5. My fifth favorite place to cool off in Epcot is Reflections of China in the China pavilion. This show is a 360 Circle vision show that talks about China and it is indoors! Update: the show Reflections of China was updated and is now renamed Wondrous China.

4. My fourth favorite place to cool off is Mission Space in Epcot. Mission Space is a simulator ride were you get to be like an astronaut and fly in the sky.

3. My third favorite place to cool off is O’ Canada! in the Canada pavilion. This show is similar to the show Reflections of China because it is a 360 Circle vision show. Update: the show O’ Canada! was updated and is now renamed Canada Far and Wide.

2. My second favorite place to cool off is Spaceship Earth. This ride is very relaxing and if you want you can fall asleep. Spaceship Earth takes you on a ride to see how are technology has developed from the nomads to present day.

Now my absolute favorite place to cool off is the Land pavilion in Epcot. The Land pavilion is all indoors and Soarin’, Garden Grill, Sunshine Seasons, and Living With The Land are all located in it. If it is really hot while you are at Disney World I would really recommend to go to the Land pavilion because there are so many things to do.

I hope this list helps you cool off while you are at Disney World!

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad Is Now Open

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad opened today, March 4, 2020 in Hollywood Studios.

This attraction is in the Chinese Theater. This ride is a BIG deal because this is Mickey and Minnie’s first attraction!

I will tell you a little more about the ride. First, when you walk inside the Chinese Theater you are going to see Mickey’s newest short, Perfect Picnic. Then, Goofy pops out off the screen and invites you to join him on a train trip. Along the way you will meet a new character named Chuuby who is destined to be a fan favorite.

Keep a look out for Hidden Mickeys! Micky and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has the largest collection of hidden Mickeys in the whole WORLD!!

I hope you enjoy this ride!

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy Review

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy opened in March of 2019 so we went on it for the first time in August.

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is an indoor show where Lightning McQueen teaches you how to be a race car driver.

There is a twist though. Want to find out what the twist is? You will have to go to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy to find out!

The show is super fun and everyone in the family will enjoy this ride. Tip: if it’s raining outside then you should definitely do this show since you will be out of the rain, but it WILL be crowded.

The only complaint I have is when we went it was really crowded and there was a long line.

Be prepared to wait in line since Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is new!

Hollywood Studios FastPass+ Tiers Change Again

FastPass+ tiers will be changing again on February 14th.

I have talked about tiers before back in June and you can look at the post here!

Just as a reminder Tier 1 is for the popular attractions and Tier 2 is for the not as popular attractions. Tiers make it easier to ride popular rides with a minimal wait time. When you reserve Fastpasses, you can get one Fastpass from Tier 1 and two Fastpasses from Tier 2.

Now you can use Tier 1 on Slinky Dog Dash and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. Slinky Dog Dash should be your top priority, since this ride has the longest lines, while Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run in Galaxy’s Edge is now second priority.

This is going to be really helpful because now you don’t need to wait as long in line as before.

Tier 2 is also split into categories. Your top priority for getting a Fastpass+ should be for Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, since those rides have long lines.

Second priority is for Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, MuppetVision 3D, Disney Junior Dance Party, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, Fantasmic!, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, Star Tours, and Frozen Sing Along. That is a lot of rides!

I hope this helps you with Fastpasses at Hollywood Studios.

How Disney Stays Ahead Of Its Competition

Disney does have competition and I will tell you how they stay ahead of their competition.

First off, it’s Disney’s merchandise. They always have merchandise for special events like Christmas or Halloween.

Disney also has different collections so if you have, for example, an Imagination Pink Loungefly backpack then you probably want to match with the same color pink hat, shirt, and water bottle.

The merchandise is really expensive and Disney is making a lot of money because they have the merchandise in different colors.

Another way Disney is ahead is the Cast Members. The Cast Members (the people who work in Disney World) are always friendly and in a good mood. This is not the case in other amusement parks. In Universal they have friendly people too but besides Disney World and Universal other amusement parks just do not have very friendly people. The people that work at other amusement parks always look annoyed and like they don’t want to be there. Friendly cast members are very important because if a person has a good interaction with a cast member then they will want to come back to Disney World or Universal.

Disney is also constantly updating its parks by adding new rides. If, for example, you’re a big Star Wars fan then you probably want to go to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios. Then you will make the long journey to Disney World and Disney gets a lot of money! While we are on the topic, Rise of the Resistance opened on December 5.

Other rides that are coming are Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Train in the spring of 2020 in Hollywood Studios, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is coming next summer in the France pavilion, and Beauty and the Beast Sing Along debuts January 2020.

These are a few ways that Disney stays ahead of its competition.

My Top Five Favorite Rides In Hollywood Studios

Here is a list of my favorite rides in Hollywood Studios.

My favorite ride in Hollywood Studios is Slinky Dog Dash. (For a Slinky Dog Dash review click here!) Slinky Dog Dash is located in Toy Story Land and is a fast roller coaster.

My second favorite ride is Toy Story Mania. (For a Toy Story Mania review click here!) Toy Story Mania is also in Toy Story Land. It is a fun 3D ride.

My third favorite ride is Star Tours. (For a Star Tours review click here!) On this ride you go on a mission in the galaxy with C3PO.

My fourth favorite ride is Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. (It’s actually a show not a ride but I really like this show!) Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular shows some behind the scenes stunts and if you are 18 or older you can even take part in the show! (For a review of the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, click here!)

My fifth favorite ride is Alien Swirling Saucers. This ride is located in Toy Story Land and you sit down in a spaceship and spin around and around.

A Beginner’s Guide to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party started on August 16, 2019 and will end on November 1, 2019. I went to the first one this year on August 16th and can’t wait to talk to you all about it.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party starts at 7 pm, but they will start letting you in as early as 4 pm. When you arrive, cast members give you a wristband to wear. You MUST wear it or you will be kicked out at 6 pm, which is when the park closes for all other guests.

You are allowed to dress up for the party but if you’re 14 or older, you have to follow some rules.

Don’t forget that you can trick or treat at different locations in Magic Kingdom. Castmembers give you candy at each of these locations.

If you have an allergy, don’t panic. Go to a Castmember to get a teal colored treat bag. That way you get tokens that you can turn in for special treats, instead of candy.

The Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party brochure.

There are specialty foods you can get too. The Amuck, Amuck, Amuck Cupcake can be found at Main Street Bakery. It is a candy cupcake with peanut butter chips, chocolate candy bites, and toffee filled with caramel sauce, all topped with a chocolate cauldron iced with a chocolate buttercream. The Headless Horseman Cheesecake can be found at Sleepy Hollow.

It is a pumpkin mousse with chocolate cake, chocolate crunchies, orange glaze and a Headless Horseman chocolate piece. Chocolate Mickey Waffles are also available at Sleepy Hollow. It is a black chocolate Mickey Waffle with pumpkin gelato, candy corns, and a caramel sauce. Constance’s Wedding Cake was very popular. It is available at Liberty Square Popcorn cart. The Jack and Sally push pops can be found at snack carts near Cinderella’s Castle. The Pumpkin Spice Milkshake at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies looks so good! It is a pumpkin spice flavored milkshake with candy pumpkins and a Mickey Straw. The Pumpkin Spice Soft-Serve Sundae is also at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies.

Some rides have Halloween party overlays too. On Space Mountain, it’s even darker and it plays spooky music.

On Pirates of the Caribbean, real life pirates are on the ride.
