food IS a theme park
Let’s be honest: if you are paying Disney World prices, you want every possible second of park time squeezed out of that vacation like the last drop of cold brew on a rope-drop morning.
EPCOT
And thankfully, some hotels really do help with that.
Somedays, it feels like just about everything is under construction or being refurbished or getting completely revamped in Disney World. Hotels are getting new lobbies AND rooms, while the theme parks are getting brand new lands with new rides, shops, and restaurants.
Prime Rib Sliders
Well, that construction is continuing over at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, where two restaurants will close soon, so if you want to grab a bite at Yachtsman Steakhouse or The Crew’s Cup Lounge, you’ll need to do it before they close!
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.
We are LESS than a month away from the reopening of a popular EPCOT attraction!
Test Track
This ride has been closed for over a year, and we recently had the opportunity to preview the attraction before it officially reopens.
A popular Disney World attraction has finally reopened!
Astro Orbiter
We have been eagerly awaiting the reopening of this Magic Kingdom ride, and now it’s BACK!
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.
Yachtsman Steakhouse
We recently stopped by Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort to see what new items they’ve cooked 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!
A popular Disney World attraction is about to reopen! We have been eagerly awaiting the reopening of this EPCOT ride, and now we know when we will be able to hit the track again.
Test Track
Test Track officially has a reopening date, and we have already cleared our calendars for the occasion! It will still be closed for a few more weeks, though, so let’s take a look at its closure plus everything else that will be closed in Disney World this week.
An underrated Disney World attraction is about to be done with its refurbishment! While this under-the-radar attraction never fully closed, we are excited that its refurbishment is about done. Winter Summerland Miniature Golf has been undergoing a refurbishment since April 28th, and it is about to be completed.
Winter Summerland Mini Golf
During the refurbishment, only one course was available at a time, so you couldn’t choose between the Summer or Winter course; you simply had to play the course that was open. But pretty soon, we will once again have choices when it comes to playing golf at Winter Summerland!
A Disney World hidden gem is closing this week! This iconic steak house has been serving up juicy steak, cozy vibes, and massive portions since 1995.
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
However, you now have just ONE week to make one last trip here for a delicious meal. Soon, this under-the-radar restaurant will be closing for good to make way for a new restaurant.
Muppets fans, the Muppets Courtyard is about to close for good, and we don’t think we are prepared quite yet. Of course, we will be there on its final day! However, the good news is that it is closing to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. themed land that is coming to Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
With that being said, you only have a few DAYS left to get your last showing of Muppet*Vision 3D in or grab one more slice of puffy pizza from PizzeRizzo.
