From our first drop on Tower of Terror to a life-sized Carnosaurus trying to eat us on Dinosaur, Disney has found more ways to freak us out than we would’ve originally expected.
Tower of Terror
For parents with younger children, traumatizing little ones through the power of Disney magic during a family vacation might not be part of the game plan. They may try to avoid scary-ish rides altogether, sticking with tamer rides that provide “a world of laughter” or “happy little thoughts.” But however hard you might try to protect your child from the darker side of Disney, there are some ride scares you might not be able to avoid — and some you may not have expected to scare younger ones, at all.
As much as we love Disney World, not everything that they try to pull off in the parks is a slam dunk.
Some things don’t go over as great as Disney hoped they would.
We’ve seen some interesting ride ideas, some weird snacks, and a ton of things that just made us scratch our heads (Donald Duck being replaced by a hat-wearing plant, anyone?). Today we’re breaking down the times that Disney World tried to do something interesting and it didn’t go quite as planned. Hey, we’re still giving them an ‘A’ for effort!
The 2021 International Flower & Garden Festival is still going on in EPCOT and will be sticking around until early July!

And while the Festival has been going on for quite a few weeks already, we’ve spotted some new things recently like new menu items at one booth, new prizes as part of the scavenger hunt, and more! Some Festival merchandise has already made its way online, but today we spotted something NEW online — a special limited-edition item featuring our favorite purple dragon, Figment!

Even the MOST classic Disney attractions aren’t immune from receiving changes!
Haunted Mansion
There are several quotes from Walt Disney himself that illustrate the value the company places on progress and innovation. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that many attractions throughout the Disney theme parks — even some of the most iconic ones — have undergone some pretty significant changes over time.
Today, let’s go to EPCOT, Walt Disney World’s second park!
EPCOT
The park opened in 1982 and has been a fan-favorite ever since, with the amazing technology and rides of Future World and the exquisite culture of World Showcase. EPCOT is currently undergoing a massive transformation (particularly focused on Future World), and we can’t wait to see what the park becomes! To celebrate and share our love for this wonderful Disney park, we’re talking about all 25 hidden secrets in EPCOT that you may not know!
