We’ve been hanging around the Disney World hotels. But we’ve also been checking out what’s been going on lately. It’s not a lot, but we’ve got all the latest updates for you!

Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

The Market at Ale & Compass

We’ve loved seeing all the Disney Cruise Line merchandise at the Yacht Club, and we just found a few NEW things! There’s a new Disney Cruise Line Tumbler for $21.99.

Good way to stay hydrated

And a brand new Disney Cruise Line Luggage Tag with Goofy on it! The luggage tag is $12.99.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort Construction Updates

The Contemporary is undergoing some pretty massive renovations. And we noticed that scrim even covers some of the balconies.

We can’t wait to see what everything looks like once it’s done.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Food Updates

There’s a special cupcake available at Capt. Cook’s this weekend! It’s the Memorial Day Cupcake and it’s all done up in red, white, and blue! It’s very Instagrammable. Vanilla Cupcake with White Chocolate Mousse, Buttercream Icing, and Blueberry Compote Swirl Filling topped with Red, White and Blue Sprinkles, Blueberries and a Raspberry!

It’s certainly pretty

It’s also VERY frosting-heavy!!! Which you might be all for or totally against. If you want to try it out for yourself, it’s available this weekend only for $5.99 via Mobile Order.

Pineapple Lanai

We also got to try the Firecracker Cone! It’s Raspberry Soft Serve with Patriotic Sprinkles and Popping Firecracker Candy. WOWZA. Like we already love the Raspberry Dole whip, but the popping candy just took it up a notch.

Check it out now for $5.29.
