Other airlines are making changes, too. Last year, American Airlines announced big changes to its rewards program. But that’s not the only change coming to that particular airline. According to CNN, the company is also adding a perk, free Wi-Fi, to its flights soon, meaning that it will be the last of the major U.S. airlines to do so.
If you’re looking to visit these ports via the Disney Cruise Line, we have some bad news…

Disney Cruise Line will take you all over the world in style, and when it comes to cruising, Disney is one of the best. With that said, Disney — or any cruise line for that matter — doesn’t have unlimited access. As cruising demand goes up, port availability isn’t exactly keeping up. In fact, several well-known ports and countries have placed restrictions and bans on cruise ships.
Attention travelers!

Technology is constantly changing and updating.
Disney World tested the technology in 2021

Even though the TSA says it’s fine in theory, that’s not the whole story. Airlines are allowed to set their own rules, and spoiler alert: Most of them are not cool with it. Here’s what you need to know before showing up at security and getting a very disappointing surprise.
As air travel becomes more expensive — and at least in perception — less safe, some younger travelers are re-embracing bus ridership as an alternative.

As a slew of price increases, baggage policy changes, and high-profile accidents have caused bad press for the aviation industry over the last couple of years, numbers have steadily risen for commercial bus transportation. According to a spokesperson for FlixBus (the parent company of Greyhound), “ridership across the Greyhound and FlixBus network grew by a double-digit percentage year-over-year” in 2024. This is “compared to 2023, continuing an upward trend.”
Flying is almost always a stressful experience.

However, if you’re flying out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) anytime soon, there are some NEW rules you can follow to make the experience go much smoother.

If you’ve been on a Carnival cruise lately, you might’ve spotted a tiny rubber duck tucked behind a plant or perched on a ledge. It’s part of a trend that’s only getting bigger — guests hiding ducks for others to find. But recently, rumors started swirling that Carnival might crack down on the practice… and people had opinions. Let’s talk about what’s really going on — and what Carnival’s Brand Ambassador had to say about it.
Disney World and Universal Orlando aren’t the only things making big changes this year.
MCO Airport
Even Orlando International Airport is getting some updates.

We previously got a list of new restaurants coming to the airport, but now Orlando International Airport has shared new concept art showcasing those new restaurants PLUS concept art of some new shops.
