There are TONS of Disney World hotels to choose from for your next stay.
We’re finding new merch at Disney World hotels all the time, and there’s been a lot of construction going on at these hotels as well. What’s new from this past week you may ask? We’ve got it covered!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Construction Updates – Trail’s End
Trail’s End restaurant is closed (this spot is getting a major makeover), and the tables are currently being used in Crockett’s Tavern.
This means that some more seating is available if you’re dining at Crockett’s Tavern, which can be great if you want an extra second to sit down while you eat.
The Trail’s End restaurant is set to be transformed into a NEW dining experience that’ll feature “a marketplace concept with expanded quick service options.”
Food Updates – P&J’s Southern Takeout
We spotted a new Raspberry Cupcake for $5.49!

Aaaand there are still tons of blue and green pipes over on the side, but their time is coming.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Construction is also continuing over at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and seems to be going well.
