It is a wonder.

@BoardwalkTimes A series called After Park Close that follows Cast Members to highlight everything that happens to get Disney’s theme parks ready for the next day. Ride checks, maintenance, nighttime show checks, clean up, etc. 🤓

These are the Paris attractions locals say are worth the hype - and the best way to experience them.

@CarlyCaramanna First churro Mickey waffles. Then cheeseburger spring rolls. Next ???

A great big change is coming for a classic Disney attraction.

New Mandalorian and Grogu missions debut at #Disney World and Disneyland’s Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run today as their movie hits theaters. The engineer chooses between 3 destinations. Visually, Coruscant was my favorite, but I could spend the whole time watching #Grogu.

NEW: Disneyland is eliminating the 11 a.m. Park Hopper restriction starting June 9.

With this change, guests with Park Hopper tickets and Magic Key passes will be able to move between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure at any time, subject to park availability.

[Eve Chen @chenwilliams]

In 2023, the Hopper family attempted an unofficial Disney challenge, visiting all 12 parks within 12 days, but they came short of riding every ride worldwide.

So, they did it again.

Thank you @Hopinarndthwrld for sharing your adventures with @USATODAY.

@culturenthrills No, regular non-Florida, non-AP prices.

Saw some chatter about Universal Orlando hotel prices being down opening weekend of HHN, suggesting bookings may be lighter as travelers scale back spending.
Of course, I rushed to check the website.
It seems to disagree.

[Eve Chen @chenwilliams]

If you’re trying to decide if staying on site is worth it, I did some math for you.
This was from before Epic-area hotels opened, but still generally stands.

Not seeing any major savings - besides Sapphire Falls being less than Cabana Bay - but if you do, you may want to snag it.
Prices will probably only continue to go up from here.

[Eve Chen @chenwilliams]

As of right now, these are the prices for Friday, Aug. 28.
Saturday’s are roughly the same and to be expected for this time of year.
Of course, rates are subject to change and pending availability.

[Eve Chen @chenwilliams]

You asked for it. Holiday in the Park is coming back to Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Great Adventure, but it won’t be like you remember.

Whatever you thought of #Spirit Airlines, this is what
customers like @MatthewCappucci @JoshuaSheats and Tisha Savage will remember. Thank you for sharing your memories with USA TODAY.

@JoshuaSheats @SpiritAirlines Would you mind sharing where you were moving to? And would you say you flew them regularly? Any other thoughts or memories are welcome but otherwise no additional questions. Thank you!
