Do you have a favorite Disney World hotel?
Are you a value, moderate, or deluxe resort fan? What do you prioritize in a hotel when you stay at Disney World? Whatever it is, EVERY hotel at Disney World has a lot to offer, including great food, activities, and more! But things change regularly throughout the resorts, so we’ve been visiting all the hotels to keep up with the latest updates.
Here’s what’s new at Disney World hotels!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Food Updates
Capt. Cook’s
The 50th Anniversary Cupcake at the Polynesian Village Resort recently got a serious downgrade. When we had it last year, it was topped with a Pineapple Macaron, Buttercream Icing, and Graham Cracker Crumbs, with a DOLE Whip Pineapple Custard filling. Dole Whip — IN THE CUPCAKE. It was perfection.
But now, it’s a Vanilla Cupcake with Pineapple Cream Cheese Filling topped with Pineapple Icing, a Chocolate Pineapple, and a Glitter-covered Flower. Um…what?
Although it’s still pretty, the flavors just aren’t as good. It’s available, though, at both Kona Cafe and Capt. Cook’s for $5.99.
