food IS a theme park
Summer 2026 is about to kick into high gear at Walt Disney World, but there are some things guests preparing for a June stay at a Disney World hotel need to know.
They’re already hard at work
From dining closures and refurbishments to special offers and even FREE access to two in-demand Disney World parks, a lot is going on at Disney World’s on-property hotels in June.
Are you already planning a Disney World trip for 2027 and are wondering if you should stay on Disney World property? We totally understand what a big decision that can be!

To help you decide, here’s a rundown of ALL the hotel perks we know you can get in 2027!
