Planning to visit Disney World this summer AND you want to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, and more??

Well, then you better start booking those Park Pass reservations ASAP and here’s why!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Park Pass reservations filling up for spring break dates, and we’ve started to see them filling up for some of the summer months too. In just the past few days, we’ve seen more and more days in the summer where Park Passes have started to fill up. Park Passes have especially been filling up for Disney’s Hollywood Studios on MANY days in the summer (although other parks are sometimes affected to).

We know that summer might not technically start until June, but here’s a peek at what’s going on in May and other months this summer (it’s basically summer all the time in Florida, right?).

May

Planning to visit Disney World in May? Well, right now Park Passes for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have filled up for several days in May for those with Theme Park Tickets. On some days, Park Passes for both Disney’s Hollywood Studios AND Magic Kingdom have been filling up too. Some days still have full availability though — you can see them marked in green on the calendar.

The situation looks pretty similar for those staying at Select Resort Hotels. Hollywood Studios is already booked up for several days, and on some days other parks are also starting to fill up. But, some days still do have full availability.

Annual Passholders, on the other hand, are looking a bit better in May…for now. Right now, only Magic Kingdom Park Passes have filled up for May 1st and the rest of the month is still green (meaning there is full availability at all of the parks).

But, of course, all of this could change very soon!

June

In June, things look pretty similar to May for those with Theme Park Tickets. Park Passes for Hollywood Studios have already filled up on a lot of days, and on some days Park Passes for other parks are starting to fill up too. There are still a few days with full availability though.

The situation is similar for Select Resort Hotel guests.

Annual Passholders are still looking good for June with full availability.

Again, that’s all subject to change.

July

Park Passes for July appear to still be available at all of the parks for guests with Theme Park Tickets, Select Resort Hotel Guests, and Annual Passholders.

But, if this month turns out to be anything like May and June, we expect that Park Passes for Hollywood Studios (and potentially other parks) could start to fill up in the next few weeks. So, if you’re looking to visit Hollywood Studios (or really any of the parks) in July, NOW is probably the best time to book your passes while many are still available.

August

The situation looks similar in August. Right now, we’re seeing full Park Pass availability for all 3 groups.

But, that could change.

Again, if July or August turn out to be similar to May or June, we could see Park Passes for the Studios or other parks filling up quickly. So, if you’re planning to visit Disney World and want to make sure you can get into Disney’s Hollywood Studios, be sure to check the Park Pass availability for the dates of your trip and book your Park Pass reservations ASAP.

It’s best to have those reservations made well in advance in case more things start to fill up later. And, if you change your mind about what parks you want to go to, you could try to cancel them later and make new Park Passes (depending on availability).

We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more details and updates on Park Passes and other things that could affect your Disney trip. Be sure to stay tuned for more Disney news!

Ah, Disney nuiMOs.

If you aren’t familiar with these little guys, they’re Disney’s posable, dressable plushes (and their accessories come at a pretty hefty price).

Pooh and Friends nuiMOs are comin’, friends! You’ll be able to snag Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet starting April 5th (that’s in just a few days!). If you’ve ever wanted to upgrade Pooh’s classic red shirt, now’s your chance.

The post Disney’s LAST March Deal Is Here and the Savings Are HUGE! first appeared on the disney food blog.

Disney World has changed a LOT over the past few months.

Due to social distancing policies, lines can stretch SUPER far from a ride’s entrance, and some doors to stores or other places may be designated as exit or entrance-only. Navigating your way around the parks can be more complicated now, and even rather frustrating. But, don’t worry — we’re here to help! We’ve been working on a series of maps to help you get around the parks. We’ve already shared our special, DFB maps for EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. Now, it’s Animal Kingdom’s turn!

Throughout our DFB map, you’ll see little red and green dots. The green dots are meant to indicate where the entrance to that ride, shop, or restaurant is. The red dots are meant to show you where the exits are. There are also some dotted lines with arrows on the map. These are meant to show you where the queue lines for those rides or other spots will generally extend as they spill out from the ride’s designated line space.

This map is based on our experiences in the parks, but of course, things can change at Disney World. So, during your trip, you might find that things are a bit different. But, we hope that these maps can at least give you a general sense of what’s being done right now and help make your next trip a little bit easier!

And if you need to make the map bigger, you can simply click on the image and it will show up larger in a new tab.

Alright! Let’s go through our map!

Our map starts over near Discovery Island. Here, you can see a number of dots showing the entrances and exits for the stores and other places in the area.

You can see a bit more of this general area in the map below. Looking for the entrance to Flame Tree Barbecue? Look for the green dot sort-of in the middle of the map.

Next, we’ll head over to Pandora — The World of Avatar. In the map below, you can see the walkways into and out of Pandora, as well as the entrances and exits for various spots in this land.

Pay close attention to the dotted lines showing how the lines for Avatar: Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey will generally extend. You can see how the Flight of Passage line winds through one side of the land, while the Na’vi River Journey line stretches out another way.

Next, we move over to the Africa section of the park. You can see various entrances and exits in the map below. Note how the line for Kilimanjaro Safaris will generally extend through parts of one side of the Africa area.

The map below shows the pathway and some of the spots along the walk from Africa to Asia.

We then move more into the Asia portion of the park. You can see the entrances and exits to various attractions and restaurants in this area.

Then, we make our way further into Asia and closer to Expedition Everest. The map below shows a few entrances and exits near this spot. Note how the line for Expedition Everest will generally stretch as shown by the dotted black line.

And finally, we reach DinoLand U.S.A. In this map you can see the entrances, exits, and line patterns for various spots in this land including DINOSAUR.

And that’s our map of Animal Kingdom! Again, these entrances, exits, and line patterns are subject to change. But, we hope that by taking a look at this map, you’ll be better prepared for your next trip and have more of an idea of what to expect. Be sure to bookmark this page or save it so you can come back to it later!

We’ll continue to work on making more resources for you to use to make your next Disney trip easier, more stress-free, and (of course) more magical. Stay tuned for more!
