Excitement Around Every Corner at Walt Disney World This Week
What an incredible week it has been at Walt Disney World! Yesterday marked the opening of the largest single land expansion in Disney theme park history with the 14 acre Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios. Over at Epcot, Disney foodies will delight in 87 whopping days of eats, treats, workshops, special events, concerts and more during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. The frightfully delightful Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is once again giving guests to the Magic Kingdom and opportunity to trick or treat their way around the Happiest Place on Earth! Finally, sports fans can live out their NBA dreams at the all-new NBA Experience at Disney Springs!
Here at MickeyBlog, we can’t remember when there’s ever been a more exciting time to be at Disney World. And to help you maximize your Disney visit, here are a couple of important reminders:
My Disney Experience
One fantastic way you can enhance your visit to Walt Disney World is by familiarizing yourself with the My Disney Experience app! Whether you’re visiting for a week or a day, it is the place to go for up-to-the-minute information! On the dashboard for your Disney holiday, you’ll find everything from park operating hours, showtimes, character meet and greet locations, FastPass booking, dining reservations, and mobile ordering. You can also unlock your resort room using your smartphone, check bus times and keep tabs on your dining credits! Consider it your one-stop Disney shop! Be sure to have it loaded on your phone before your next visit and enable push notifications to stay up to date while at the parks!
Play Disney Parks App
Before you head out on your Disney World vacation also be sure to download the Play Disney Parks app. You can turn your ride wait times into playtime with cool app features designed to connect you to the theme parks with unique games and experiences that bring your surrounding environment to life! At the newly opened Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge you can even use it to transform your smartphone into your own Star Wars datapad! It unlocks a whole new set of adventures for you to enjoy while at Batuu! This includes translating galactic language, learning what’s inside crates and containers, accepting missions from local residents and more!
With a week full of exciting happenings at Walt Disney World, you can expect larger than usual crowd levels. That’s why its helpful to stay up-to-date on operating hours, wait times and more with the exciting apps and services we’ve outlined above! Visitors to Galaxy’s Edge can use the app to sign up for boarding groups, keep tabs on ride wait times and make reservations for experiences like Oga’s Cantina and building your own lightsabers at Sa’vi’s workshop.
