Magic Kingdom
But now we’re coming at you with new tips that’ll help you navigate Disney World in 2022.
Nope, we’re not exaggerating. The DFB team is in the Disney World parks every single day, meaning we pretty much have our Disney World PhDs.
Slinky Line
WHY do we go to Disney World every single day? To learn all those little secrets that may not be obvious for other guests planning a future Disney World vacation. Don’t worry. We’ve got your back.
I’m here to help you decide if you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT go to Disney World in 2022. First I’m going to give you a list of major pros that will make you wanna pack your bag and go, go, GO!
EPCOT Crowds
But before you dust off the ol’ suitcase in your closet, stick around for the “cons” too. These might be big enough arguments for you to say “thanks, but no thanks” to a trip in the new year.
What’s that? You’re tired of hearing about Disney Genie+ and all the extra upgrades that are gonna cost you $7 here and $15 there?
Water for the win!
Don’t worry, because I’m about to share some Disney World upgrades and perks that won’t cost a single penny.
There are a lot of things to love about Disney World…and there are some things that are decidedly not my favorite. If you’re a Disney pro, or if you’re learning to become one, there are a few things that are just bad.
Toy Story Land Crowds
But, that doesn’t mean we’re stuck with an unhappy ending. We’re Disney pros for a reason, even if there’s something we hate…we know how to fix it.
2021 was a year of change in the Disney parks. On the one hand, a lot of things reopened that we had been missing since the 2020 closure.
Cinderella Castle
We also gained a lot of new experiences (especially around that historical 50th Anniversary celebration). But with these openings and reopenings also came closures and losses that will continue to impact Disney as it rolls its way into the new year.
There are a LOT of restaurants in Disney World. One is themed to kitchens of the past, another puts you at the center of a drive-in theater, and a separate one will throw you directly into the world of Star Wars.
TV Table at 50s Prime Time Cafe
Today it’s time for a game of tug-of-war – only this time, we’re playing with Disney World restaurants that are so odd, we can’t quite tell if they’re absolutely charming or something you’ll never want to experience again!
Nothing wrong with a healthy neighborly rivalry, right? Who’s got the best yard? Who passes out the best candy at Halloween? Who puts up the brightest Christmas lights around the house each year?
Wilderness Lodge
But there’s another competition afoot. If you’re both going to Disney World next year, WHO’S trip is going to be the one coming up on top? (Spoiler alert: it’s totally yours).
There are so many different ways to spend your time in Disney World depending on what your priorities are.
“it’s a small world”
Rides make up a huge part of the Disney experience, but how much time do you really want them to take up during your trip? Are the longest wait times really worth it?
Are you looking for a light meal in Disney World? Maybe one that doesn’t leave you feeling super full when all you want to do is drink around the world?
France Pavilion Expansion
Disney World has taken an iconic French treat to the next level with this new EPCOT restaurant, with a menu full of sweet AND savory items and a tasty meal that isn’t quite the usual theme park experience. But, is it worth YOUR time & money?
