food IS a theme park
It’s been a busy spring at Disney World.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
TRON Lightcycle / Run has opened in Magic Kingdom. Roundup Rodeo BBQ has opened in Hollywood Studios. There’s all kinds of construction still going on over at EPCOT. Disney World hotels are also staying busy right now — so let’s go on a trip around the World’s hotels to see what’s new.
So, you’re planning a trip to Disney World, and you’ve narrowed it down between two of the most ICONIC Disney resorts in existence (you lucky, lucky person!).
Disney’s Grand Floridian
But how do you choose between Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa? Well, let’s dive into the deets to see which one is right for you!
It’s the question as old as time — Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort or Disney’s Contemporary Resort?
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
If you’re decided where to stay on your next Disney World vacation, there are a lot of factors to consider. What park is the most important to you? Do you want to be able to see fireworks from your hotel? And perhaps the most important question: what is the food like? We’re looking at all of that and more as we compare Disney’s Polynesian Village and Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
When you’re planning a trip to Disney World, hotels are probably a BIG part of your thought process.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Say you decide to stay in a Disney World hotel, but then you have to choose which one! Let’s say you agonize over the hotels and finally come to a decision, but when you arrive at your hotel you’re surprised to find construction, or a pool closed, or missing perks you thought were included. We have a list of several Disney World hotels you should reconsider for your 2022 stay — including reasons to avoid OR stay!
We’re used to seeing a little construction in Disney World, as they’re constantly working to improve the rides, attractions, and resorts in the parks!
Construction in Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Here’s a look at everything that we’re expecting to see closed for refurbishments in Disney World this week!
Disney World is gearing up for its big 50th anniversary celebrations and there are a TON of new things to look forward to!

There is a new fireworks show and projections coming to Magic Kingdom, a new daytime show coming to Animal Kingdom, the debut of Harmonious in EPCOT, golden character statues will be going up around the parks, and we’re FINALLY getting the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! Disney recently announced that they will be offering extended evening theme park hours for select guests for the big anniversary, and we’re here to tell you which guests will get the new perk!

But there’s a ton happening in the other resorts too, including some pretty MAJOR refurbishments in a few of our favorite — and most iconic — hotels, which will ultimately lead to three Magic Kingdom-area resorts with COMPLETELY new rooms!
We’re counting down to a new year with oodles of limited-time treats!
Raspberry Dole Whip
New Year’s Eve in Disney World is a little different this year. The theme parks are closing before midnight and guests are encouraged to celebrate from their resort. Plus, Disney has been releasing a few special treats! So far, we tried the surprisingly tasty Animal Kingdom 2021 cupcake and a surprisingly underwhelming Strawberry Champagne cupcake. (Two of them actually!) We found ANOTHER surprise New Year’s Eve treat today at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
It’s happening! 2021 is almost here! *cue the fanfare*
New Year’s Eve Cupcake
We’ve all been waiting patiently to give 2020 the boot. In celebration, we’re trying a few New Year’s Eve specialties that will help us welcome the new year. The Animal Kingdom New Year’s cupcake was WILDLY delish and the Strawberry Champagne cupcake was incredibly photogenic. We’re heading to the islands at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to try another Insta-worthy New Year’s treat!
Well…this is something we didn’t know we needed.
Pineapple Dole Whip
Disney World has really brought us a GIFT today, but before we tell you what it is, we’ve got a few questions. What’s better than Dole Whip? Dole Whip with coconut rum. What’s better than Dole Whip with coconut rum? OH WE’LL TELL YOU.
