food IS a theme park
If you are looking for the least expensive accommodations at Walt Disney World, Disney World’s Value Resorts will help you stick to your budget. But how do you choose between two popular resorts? Today, we’ll take a look at Disney’s Art of Animation and Disney’s All-Star Movies hotels.

Both resorts offer unique themes and while they have many of the same amenities, there are also some differences that you should know about.Â
If we’ve learned anything from dining at every restaurant in Disney World, it’s that the food experience varies wildly from place to place!
Landscape of Flavors
Not every restaurant in the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs is going to knock your socks off, but not all of them are bad either (in fact, some are pretty outstanding!). You may expect that if you’re staying at one of Disney World’s Value Resorts that you’ll end up with “bad” food at your hotel. But is that really the case? Recently we stopped by one of the food court-style restaurants to do a full review and find out!
A LOT is happening with Disney World food right now. That’s because the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has officially kicked off, bringing some AMAZING food booths and snacks to the resort.

But we’re also celebrating Women’s History Month, which has also brought some new snacks to Disney World. PLUS St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, meaning we’ll see some new GREEN treats popping up soon. However, the biggest changes are happening on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s get into those updates right now.
Just how far will your taste buds go with this latest Disney snack?

This latest snack we picked up at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort was almost too pretty to eat! Check it out with us! [Read more…]
Welcome back to Disney World’s resorts! A LOT has been happening over here.
Grand Floridian Resort
There are so many hotels to choose from when you go on a Disney World vacation, but how do you know what’s going on at each hotel? We’ve got lists of our favorite hotels, but we also do a roundup of recent info every week or so to keep you updated on EXACTLY what’s happening, so let’s get into it!
Resort hopping is one of our favorite things to do at Disney, and splurging at the resort shops, eating at the themed restaurants, and simply looking at all the resort decor makes a good day even better!
Resort hopping is so much fun!
Sometimes, some really great merchandise and snack options are hiding in the resort shops rather than in the parks. We went to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and then later took the Skyliner to some other resorts on property, and we found some great items including several exclusive things for DVC members! Plus, we even got to see some construction!
When you go to Disney World do you think about the closures that could affect your trip?
Disney World’s Skyliner
This is the time of year when Disney World does a lot of refurbishments at the resort, so you might be surprised to find that certain rides are down, hotel pools are closed, and more. As of today, though, a mode of Disney World transportation is closed for refurbishment.
One of the biggest perks of staying at a Disney World resort is having access to Disney World’s vast transportation system.
The Skyliner
If you need to get somewhere in Disney World, all you need to do is hop on a bus, a boat, the Monorail, or the Skyliner. However, when a mode of transportation goes down in Disney World, it could put a wrench in your plans. That’s why we’re reminding you that the Skyliner will be closed very soon!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a popular place for families to stay at Disney World! With its over-the-top theming and giant swimming pool, it’s likely that kids will love this stay.
The lobby at Disney’s Art of Amimation Resort
In fact, this is one of our best resorts for toddlers at Disney World. And while there are many choices for dining at Disney World in the parks, at Disney Springs, and at other resorts, sometimes you just want to have something close to your home base!
Disney World is constantly a FLURRY of activity. That means that there is always some kind of construction going on, whether that be for new attractions, new restaurants, ride refurbishments, and more.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
If you don’t know about these things in advance, it could catch you by surprise and affect your entire trip. Particularly, there are closures, construction, and other things that happen at Disney World hotels that could affect your stay, so we’re going to warn you about those in advance.
