What’s New at Walt Disney World since 2020 - Resort Wide
It’s almost time to rock in 2022, but we’re all still trying to forget 2020—so we’re going to Disney World! Like pretty much every other aspect of our lives, Walt Disney World resort changed to a new normal. Even for regular Disney vacationers, post-2020 Walt Disney World is a whole new world.
Museums Have Started Using OnlyFans To Show Off Their… Art
OnlyFans was best known as the home of “spicy accountants.” And, yet they haven’t answered any of our questions about 1099 forms.
Now, OnlyFans is home to something even sexier: a selection of art from Vienna’s best museums. The Vienna Tourism Board started an OnlyFans to showcase artwork deemed too hot for other social media sites, especially Instagram.
10 Places To Get The F*** Away From The Crowds At Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World may be the most magical place on earth, but it’s also one of the busiest. All four parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom — rank among the top 10 theme parks worldwide for attendance. And Magic Kingdom tops the list with more than 20 million visitors per year. We’re here to help you avoid the intense Disney crowds.
Why? Because if you’re an introvert or you’re just trying to enjoy their Hei Hei ice cream cone in peace, that may sound like a nightmare — especially during the peak summer months and holidays, when you’re elbow-to-elbow with tens of thousands of fellow tourists. (And let’s not even talk about the lines at Slinky Dog Dash.)
The Best Disney World Attractions for Naps
Naps are absolutely essential to a successful day at Walt Disney World. Human bodies are not designed to survive the high temperatures and treacherous treks through a Disney park. Unfortunately, whether it’s the timing of a reservation or the location of your hotel, it may not be possible to leave the park for your break. Lucky for you, I’ve done the strenuous research to discover the single best attraction in each park for a nap.
5 My Disney Experience Mistakes—and How to Avoid Them
If you’re reading this blog, you probably like to plan ahead. The introduction of My Disney Experience has provided us with so many ways to fine-tune your vacation before you even arrive. But if you’re not careful, My Disney Experience can cause problems for your vacation before it even starts. Pay close attention to these tips so you’re well prepared for your Walt Disney World vacation.
5 Skills You Should Learn for Your Next Travel Adventure
We wish we could spend every moment kayaking among the glaciers of Alaska or trekking the savannas of Tanzania. But since most of us have day jobs that require a different sort of landscape, we plan many weekends around how to make the most of exploring wilderness closer to home. However, even backyard wilderness adventures need an excellent guide. Here are some skills you can learn to lead your own local safari:
A Rainbow of Marine Protected Areas
Only 2.3% of the world’s oceans are protected. That’s why WWF works to create Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). An MPA is an area designated to protect marine ecosystems, processes, habitats and species as well as promote positive social impacts. They include marine reserves, no-take zones, marine parks, and sanctuaries around the world. MPAs preserve the marine biodiversity we enjoy in our travels, and ecotourism is an important tool keeping MPAs financially sustainable.
Memory Maker FAQs
Philosophers of the age ask: If there are no pictures, did it really happen? Photos are an integral part of preserving your Disney moments and sharing the memories with family and friends. To that end, Disney offers the Memory Maker for purchase. The Memory Maker is a way to get digital copies of all of the PhotoPass photos and videos from your Walt Disney World vacation. Like any major Disney purchase, you should look at the pros and cons before you decide to drop the cash. I recently had the opportunity to use a Memory Maker as a Guest and participated in the One-day Memory Maker pilot program as a Cast Member. Here are the questions I heard from Guests—and had myself—about the Memory Maker.
Decoding Disney World Name Tags
My most exciting moment becoming a Cast Member was receiving my Walt Disney World name tag. I had been taught since I was little to seek out those white ovals for help and I was proud to wear one myself. You will probably see hundreds of these name tags during your vacation and it turns out there’s a lot you can learn from pausing to take a look.
A Guide’s Journey Through South Africa
“I love their eyes,” said Gavin Lautenbach, Natural Habitat Adventures guide. “To capture a photograph of any cat in the wild, it’s about their eyes. I love their power and their strength. I love their relationships with their cubs and with other cats. I love their speed, power, precision and playfulness.”
A Pescetarian Guide to Disney World
Even spell-check does not know what a pescetarian is, so allow me to explain: a pescetarian diet is similar to a vegetarian diet, with the addition of fish. Reasons for eating pescetarian range from the health conscious to the animal loving. My family and I have been pescetarians for the past eight years–minus one stubbornly carnivorous brother. We have traveled throughout the Walt Disney World theme parks finding counter service restaurants that offer a variety of pescetarian, vegetarian, and vegan options. So whether you’re a pescetarian yourself or you ride The Seas with Nemo and Friends and think “them’s good eatins,” this pescetarian guide to Disney World is for you.
10 Watery Wetland Facts about the Pantanal
The Pantanal is the largest wetland in South America and the largest wetland in the world that has not been substantially modified by humans. The sheer abundance of large birds, reptiles and mammals mark its importance as a huge reservoir of biodiversity.
Inspired by Indonesia: A Q-and-A with WWF’s Cassie O’Connor
Cassie O’Connor’s commitment to conservation deepened after college when she co-managed a forestry station in Indonesia. The pristine Indonesian environment and rich culture have since brought her back repeatedly and have inspired her in various conservation roles she’s played over the years.
10 Facts about a Prison Island Turned Paradise in Panama
Islands evoke feelings of relaxation, not death, torture and imprisonment. However, Coiba Island off the coast of Panama was actually used by the country’s former military dictatorship as a prison. Now, Coiba Island Prison has undergone a unique transformation into Coiba National Park. The park encompasses 38 islands and their surrounding reefs in the Gulf of Chiriqui. A bio-diverse paradise now replaces memories of imprisonment.
Top 8 Species to See for the Panama Canal’s 100th Anniversary
The Panama Canal is an engineering innovation integral to modern shipping, international travel and trade. Surrounding the canal is the Panama Canal Watershed, a 1,300-acre area with significant biodiversity. The Panama Canal Authority works to ensure that development of the Panama Canal has a minimal effect on the ecosystem, so that local wildlife flourishes. The watershed is inhabited by 112 species of reptiles, 80 species of amphibians and 546 species of birds.
I’m a Big Kid Now: A Guide to Your First Disney Trip Without Parents
Though now I’m (supposedly) a real adult—I just graduated in May–it wasn’t long ago that I was a teen taking my first Disney trip without parents. My first winter break in college, I went to Walt Disney World with my boyfriend and two other friends. Two years later, I went for my 21st birthday with my three younger siblings. So for any teens or young adults out there planning your first parent-free trip, here’s a quick guide into your first clumsy steps into Disney adulthood.
9 Animals Who Need a Name Change
A white rhino isn’t actually white and a red panda isn’t even related to the black and white, giant pandas we know and love. So what’s with their names? To help with the confusion, here’s a primer on nine animals who have been seemingly misnamed.

Choose Your Own Adventure: The Galapagos
What is your ideal way to explore the Galapagos Islands? Is it to kayak against the tide, warming your muscles as you cruise past lava rocks covered in marine iguanas? Or carefully photograph every marquis species that left Charles Darwin wide eyed? Or snorkel among green turtles and sea lions?
The “Little Five”
Go on a safari in Africa and you’ll hear plenty about the “Big 5.” The term originally referred to the top five species that hunters sought on their bucket list but has now evolved to mean the top five big mammals in Africa—those being the lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard and rhino.
While all of the animal lovers among us want to observe those species in their natural habitats in Africa, there are also some really cool little animals to look out for. We call this our “Little Five.”
