This may come off as blasphemous…but…maybe it’s a good idea to skip a stay at a Disney World hotel during your next vacation!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
Before you blow up at me, hear me out. Staying at a Disney World hotel has always felt like the default choice, right? Great perks, themed lodging, and the safety of knowing you’re always in the Disney bubble — these benefits keep guests coming back to Disney World hotels time and time again. With that said, if your eyes started watering when you saw the hotel price points and you started thinking about looking for hotels elsewhere…well, I’m here to tell you that you might be making the right call.
Disneyland is expanding fast — blink, and you might miss it!

There’s a lot going on at Disneyland right now. New rides and lands are being built, the resort is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and fans are flocking in from far and wide to experience everything Walt’s original theme park has to offer. In 2026, those offerings will expand to include several new restaurants — particularly in the Downtown Disney area! Some of these spots are already under construction with no official opening dates yet, but all signs point to a 2026 debut.
Air travel rules have changed rapidly recently, and if you haven’t flown in a while, there are some updates you need to be caught up on.
Orlando International Airport
You could be forgiven for not keeping up. TSA is constantly adjusting airport security protocol, airlines are getting rid of decades-old traditions, and air travel is more complicated than ever. The same can be said about airfare policies. If your flight is canceled, what (if anything) can you get back? How locked are you into your flights? We’re taking a look at how your money is protected when you book a flight.
For longtime experts, “Drinking Around the World” at EPCOT used to be pretty simple. You’d start in the Mexico pavilion and grab a margarita before (hopefully) slowly making your way around World Showcase in one piece. But EPCOT is constantly changing — and that includes the rules for “Drinking Around the World.”
Cheers!
Whether you’ve recently been to EPCOT or you’re going for the first time, it’s never a bad idea to brush up on the rules! In this case, we’re talkin’ unspoken rules about “Drinking Around the World”, and these are tidbits the DFB team agrees are important to know if you plan to participate in this popular Disney World pastime.
Oh, the times they are a-changin’ over at Southwest Airlines, and passengers are paying more as a result.

If you’re out of the loop but looking to fly with Southwest in the near future — or beyond — there are a couple of perks that were once free that will now cost you extra. Here’s everything you need to know…
Staying OFF-PROPERTY can be a cost-effective way to enjoy Disney World without paying Disney World prices, but there are some tips and realities you need to be aware of before committing to this type of lodging.

Good Neighbor Hotels are nearby hotels that are usually more affordable than Disney-owned hotels but are still partnered with Disney World to provide quality services, such as transportation and early entry to the theme parks in some cases. Over 40 hotels from major brands like Hilton, Marriott, IHG, and many more make up the list of Good Neighbor Hotels, and we spent hours upon hours conducting research to discover some secrets general tourists might be missing.
If you’re looking for the MUST-VISIT Disney World restaurants in 2026, you’ve come to the right place!

We were afforded the opportunity to speak with her, and she shed some insight on the film, Disneyland history, Walt himself, and the filmmaking process!
