food IS a theme park
These days, we’re seeing construction all OVER Disney World.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Many Disney World hotels are getting updates and changes, and that makes planning your visit for an overnight stay a little bit complicated. Currently, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and Disney’s Beach Club Resort are some of the resorts on the refurbishment list, and their construction projects just got extended!
There are over 20 Disney World resorts you can book right now (with another one set to open in 2027). That’s a lot of options — and a lot of decision stress. So… where should you stay on your next trip? Which hotels are actually worth the splurge, and which are just coasting on the Disney name?
Coronado Springs
We’ve done the homework (and the hotel hopping) so you don’t have to. We’re ranking every single Disney World hotel from worst to best, giving you the real pros, cons, and “is it worth it?” breakdown for each one.
It’s the second week of August, and we have been busy eating and drinking our way around Disney World this week.
Annual Passholder Totally Sweet Sundae
That’s because the Disney Adults Crawl is officially ON (you can learn more about that here) AND Disney has already dropped MORE snacks for World Princess Week, including snacks themed around Moana, Tiana, Pocahontas, and more. Disney World restaurants have also been busying changing up their menus, so let’s see what changed this week.
When you’re choosing a Walt Disney World resort, dining options are a major part of the vibe—especially if you love escaping the parks for a chill meal. There are dozens of restaurants scattered across the resorts, and some real culinary gems fly under the radar. Even if your whole trip revolves around park days, a late lunch or dinner at your hotel can be a game‑changer.
Dining room with shades
Curious which resort restaurants are worth booking—and which are better off skipped? We’ve got you covered with the latest must‑book spots and the ones that feel meh. You don’t have to stay at a Disney resort to snag a reservation—many of these dining rooms welcome off‑site visitors. After all, you’re paying for the experience just as much as the meal.
Sometimes, the trick to a perfect meal at Disney World is stepping outside of the theme parks and heading to a Disney Resort. While it might feel out of the way, there are lots of resorts only a few steps away from the parks, waiting to offer you what could be your new favorite restaurant.
Disney’s Yacht Club
Just a short walk from EPCOT, you’ll find Ale & Compass, located in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. We’re bringing you a full lunch review to see if it’s worth the stop on your next Disney World vacation.
We’ve eaten EVERYWHERE in Disney World, and we’ve tried it all. Still, some snacks, entrees, and desserts continue to surprise us!
Ale & Compass spread
We recently stopped by Disney’s Yacht Club Resort for a meal at Ale & Compass — a consistently delicious Disney World hotel restaurant option. During our visit, we wanted to try as much as possible, including the restaurant’s Seasonal Flatbread — which admittedly had us scratching our heads at first…
It feels like there is always construction happening at Disney World, and that’s because there almost always is!
Yacht Club
When we headed to this popular Disney World Resort, we were hit with massive construction walls when we tried to enter. Let’s take a look at what’s happening!
The holidays will be at Disney World before we know it, and Disney’s already confirming a few returning popular offerings!
