Can’t find dining reservations in the Disney app? Try OpenTable! Many Disney Springs restaurants are listed there and often have same-day availability. At Animal Kingdom, plan to stay from open to close. Start your day with Flight of Passage and a safari, then wind down by connecting with the Tree of Life at sunset—it’s a magical ending. Plus, check out Halloween party dates, EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and exciting park changes coming this summer and beyond!

Don’t walk into a queue with a full hot coffee! Some attractions won’t allow drinks, and others may—but chugging a hot drink quickly could ruin your day. Play it safe and sip before you line up. And while you're exploring Universal, treat yourself to some epic donuts! Lard Lad in Springfield and Voodoo Doughnut in CityWalk are both guest favorites. Plus, check out limited-time summer movie events, ride refurbishments, and 2026 vacation updates now available!

Save on your Disney vacation by buying discounted Disney gift cards at Sam’s Club, Target (with a Redcard), or giftcarddeal.com—some travelers save hundreds! Just be sure to keep your cards until your trip is over in case of cancellations. Plus, check out Be Our Guest restaurant in Magic Kingdom and don't miss the grey stuff—it’s delicious! New discounts, limited-time events, and exciting updates make this a magical time to book.

Planning a Universal trip? Don’t forget gallon-size Ziplocks—great for snacks, electronics, and security checks! And grab an interactive wand to cast spells in Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and the new Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe. New wand effects, Butterbeer Season, and Fan Fest Nights make this a perfect time to visit!
