5 Things You Should Know Before Going to Walt Disney World this Year (2021)

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can seem daunting at times, from what the weather is going to be, what to pack, and how the heck to get a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

Things are always changing at the Disney theme parks but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a plan before taking your first step down Main Street U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom.

We’ve rounded up five of the top things you need to know before going to Walt Disney World this year so you can plan your vacation with ease and get the most out of your time in the parks.

6 BEST Magic Kingdom Rides You MUST Experience At The Park

Do you want to know what are the best Magic Kingdom rides that you absolutely can’t miss on your trip?

The Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World is one of the most visited theme parks in the entire world. With that can come long lines to get on attractions.

While the urge to try to do everything at Magic Kingdom in one day can be strong, we highly recommend not doing that. There’s so much to do at the park that it simply cannot be done in one day.

Instead, try hitting some of the top attractions in one day, then going back a second day to get on and experience everything else.

If we only had one day at Magic Kingdom the following six attractions are the ones we would want to ride and suggest that you do too!

7 Best Rides at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that You MUST-DO!

Are you ready to experience some of the BEST rides at Disney’s Animal Kingdom?

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is where the wonder of nature and the magic of Disney combine into one adventurous day.

While some people might think of this park as a half-day park, only to do big attractions like Expedition Everest or Avatar Flight of Passage, if you really want to get everything out of Animal Kingdom, then you know it’s a whole day trek.

While you’re definitely going to see lots of animals at a park called Animal Kingdom, this theme park is also home to some of the best rides at Walt Disney World. Here are the ThemeParkHipster top seven attractions at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

Top 8 Attractions You MUST Ride At Universal Orlando Resort

Are you looking for the BEST ride and attraction that you MUST experience at Universal Orlando Resort?

There’s nothing like a trip to Universal Orlando Resort (UOR). The sprawling theme park complex has two thrilling theme parks, almost a dozen hotels, a shopping and entertainment district, and a beautiful water park.

The best thing is, most of this is all within walking distance or a short bus ride away from each other!

After you’ve checked in to your hotel at Universal Orlando Resort it will be time to hit the two theme parks: Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Both of the parks have must-do attractions, and we’ve narrowed down the list to eight rides that you cannot miss.

Is 3 Days Enough: How Many Days Do You Really Need at Disney World?

One of the biggest questions we here at ThemeParkHipster often get asked is how many days should I plan for my trip to Walt Disney World?

Obviously, there’s no right answer here because there’s no way to get absolutely everything done at all four parks, Disney Springs, the water parks, hotels, and more in a month, let alone a few days while on vacation.

But after many years of traveling to Walt Disney World, we can firmly say that four days is what you should plan for Walt Disney World. Why four?

Well there’s four theme parks, so we’re planning one for each day, and squeezing in some other fun things throughout our trip.

Are Solo Disney Trips Fun? (Traveling Alone)

Question of the Week: Are Solo Disney Trips Fun?

Absolutely!

Solo trips to Walt Disney World or Disneyland can seem daunting, especially if it’s your first time doing one.

Questions that may zoom through your head could include will people notice I’m alone, will I be treated differently, and will they let me ride everything even though there might be an empty seat next to me?

The short answer to the overall question is yes, solo Disney trips are definitely fun!

If you’ve even thought about going to a Disney park alone then you should act on that thought. No matter if you’re going to Epcot to eat and drink around the world, or you’re going to Disneyland Park to explore Walt Disney’s original ideas going alone is fun.

Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail: Everything You Need to Know!

Are you wondering if you should visit the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail this year?

Disney Springs is a favorite spot for the ThemeParkHipster team to hang out. And during the holidays the shopping, dining, and entertainment district of Walt Disney World gets a magical makeover with glittering lights, beautiful garlands, tasty treats, and the sounds of Christmas carols ringing in the air.

One super special event that goes on at Disney Springs during the holidays is the Christmas Tree Trail. In years past the trail was located on the Marketplace side of Disney Springs with an entrance near Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

But due to the pandemic the 2020 version the Christmas Tree Trail is going to look a little bit different than years past.

Here’s everything you need to know about enjoying the Disney Springs Christmas Trees Trail.

Epcot Bar Crawl with drinks from around World Showcase

Everything You Need to Know About Completing an Epcot Bar Crawl

Have you ever thought about doing an Epcot bar crawl?

Epcot is usually thought of as Walt Disney World’s more adult park. The theme park has nine rides, 11 countries represented around World Showcase, and endless food and drink options.

If the idea of trying some of the world’s most popular drinks, or ones you’ve never even heard of before you might want to consider doing an Epcot bar crawl. Usually these bar crawls are lovingly known as drinking around the World.

As a responsible ThemeParkHipster solo traveler you should know that drinking 11 drinks during the day is not the best idea. So, if drinking around the World sounds like fun you’re going to want to grab a few friends to complete this challenge.

You’re also going to want to drink plenty of water and eat food throughout the day!
