When it comes toDisney World, there are a lot of rules — both official and unofficial — that guests “need” to follow.

However, we’d argue that there are some unofficial “rules” that guests should break at least once!

If you’re staying at a Disney World Resort in the future, you’ll want to check out the refurbishment calendar before you go on your vacation!
Disney’s Beach Club
Often, Disney World resorts get scheduled for construction to update common areas, makeover the hotel rooms, or just do general maintenance in common areas. Disney World’s website will include this information on the resort pages, so you know what to expect. And if you’re staying at Beach Club soon, there’s a construction timeline update we have to share!
Disney World is constantly trying to find ways to entice us into planning a trip…
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
…and then trying to find ways to make us “plus up” that very trip. Think about it — they get you hook, line, and sinker with the cutesy commercials on TV and social media and soon you’re booking a stay at a Disney Resort. But then, you’re also spending extra on the Dining Plan, the Lightning Lanes, and all the experiences that you hope will make your trip “magical.” Well, in the past several months, they’ve been targeting folks who already have trips booked!
For those unaware, the Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin are not Disney-owned hotels, despite being located on Walt Disney World property.

However, despite this, the hotels offer some major Disney-level perks, including serving two of the resort’s most iconic snacks. So, it’s safe to say they are seriously a great place to stay during a Disney World vacation!
One of my favorite places in Disney World is Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. The resort has a beautiful BoardWalk area that is filled with restaurants, and after a long day in the parks, there’s nothing I love more than walking around and watching the sunset with EPCOT fireworks above.

Changes are coming to the BoardWalk, and while Disney hasn’t made any official announcements, they’ve filed permits that give us a better idea of what’s to come.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Hoop Dee Doo
We recently stopped by Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness to see if this dinner show still holds up, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
We love walking over to the Yacht Club after a day at EPCOT for great food and stunning water views.

But a massive closure will put a wrench in our plans soon. A popular Yacht Club restaurant closed today!
California Grill is a specialty restaurant located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and it is one of the most iconic dining locations on Disney property.
California Grill
From fireworks views to the goat cheese ravioli (IYKYK), it’s a bucket list spot for many Disney fans. However, if you’re planning a visit soon and you’re bringing kids, you might want to try to eat here before June! Prices are about to increase, and we have all the details.
There is so much change going on in Disney World right now! Magic Kingdom has two major expansions in the works, Cool Kid Summer is starting very soon, and a new hotel is underway.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Over at one of Disney’s most popular hotels, a major resort perk is now closed! Don’t be caught unaware during your next stay.
