food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing all the time — but you probably knew that already.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
No two days are alike, and just when you think you may have found a new favorite Disney snack, they go and change the menu up on you! Now we’ve got a warning for folks fond of a certain Disney World hotel restaurant — Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Let’s dig into the details.
Settle in y’all! It’s time for a LOT of UPDATES!!
Disney’s Polynesian Resort
It feels like every time we blink, there’s another new restaurant or ride popping up at the parks. And maybe you’re in the planning mood, so we wanted to let you know about the hotel changes that are happening soon! (And some that aren’t happening soon…blergh!)
Chances are you have a favorite Disney park, but do you have a favorite Disney hotel?
Cinderella Castle
Whether you’re looking for a luxurious, relaxing, deluxe resort or one of the many incredibly themed hotels, you can probably find it — if you know where to look. Several Disney hotels are undergoing refurbishment and we just got a closer look at one!
Disney has announced a new addition for some of its hotels, but we’re not sure how to feel about it and we want YOUR input!
All-Star Movies
It’s been a BUSY time for Disney World’s hotels. Construction is actively taking place on the Disney Vacation Club Villas being built at Disney’s Polynesian Village. There’s also a LOT of work happening at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (seriously, it’s an intense construction zone over there in certain areas). Plus, we’ve seen updates that’ll make your hotel pool day much fancier, and other things happening around the resorts. But now we’ve got one update that is…interesting.
Disney World has some amazing restaurants and snacks — we would know! But sometimes you need something else.
Grand Floridian Resort
If you’re back at your Disney hotel after a long day in the parks, you might find yourself hungry. While most Disney resorts have quick-service restaurants or food courts, they tend close at 11 PM. So maybe it’s late at night, or maybe you’re just craving a Big Mac. Have no fear — did you know you could DoorDash McDonald’s to Your Disney World hotel? We’re here to tell you how.
We’ve tried some very unique beverages in Disney World over the years.
Agave Garden mocktail
A fun blue drink at The BOATHOUSE had us feeling like a kid again with its floating rubber ducky. For the 50th anniversary, we had a cocktail with a charred octopus tentacle garnish on top. But what do you do when you want something exciting to drink but you’re not looking for a cocktail? You might be able to find just the thing to quench your thirst hiding at your Disney hotel!
Who doesn’t need a sweet treat after walking around Disney World all day?
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
You can find yummy treats around Disney World, like this one with a hidden Mickey inside! There are always things changing on Disney menus with new items being added. Did you know we just tried 12 NEW snacks at Disney Springs? Most of them were made for people with a sweet tooth, like us. So when we heard there was a new ice cream treat at a Disney hotel, you know we had to go try it.
Get ready — something is CHANGING at an iconic Disney World hotel!
Grand Floridian Resort
The Grand Floridian is a Deluxe Resort near Magic Kingdom. It is on the Magic Kingdom Resort Monorail loop that connects it to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Magic Kingdom, and the Transportation and Ticket Center. The resort has undergone a LOT of changes in recent years with the opening of new Disney Vacation Club villas, an updated Narcoossee’s restaurant, and changes at Citricos and Victoria & Albert’s too. And now more changes are taking place.
Hotels are a special part of Disney World!
Beach Club Resort in Disney World
Staying at a Disney hotel can mean lots of perks, special benefits for the theme parks, and tasty Disney food right at your fingertips. While we might love staying on Disney property, we can’t deny that we have experienced the worst-case scenarios here too — and here’s how we handled them.
There’s a NEW hotel in Disney World that you might want to check out!
Drury Plaza Hotel
The Drury Plaza Lake Buena Vista is located in the Disney Springs area of Disney property, and though it’s not owned by Disney, it has some great perks that might just make your stay worthwhile. Included in your booking are both a continental breakfast and a 5:30PM “kickback” meal. On top of that, you’ll get some of the perks that Disney-owned hotels have, including Early Theme Park Entry. But we all know that the sleeping conditions matter when choosing a hotel, so what do the rooms look like?
