food IS a theme park
You know what they say — it’s 5 ‘o clock somewhere.
Time to order up some drinks at Bar Riva
And there are lots of boozy options in Disney World. We’ve had everything from a Watermelon Margarita to a secret drink at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to a boozy Creamsicle Cocktail.
Staying at a Disney World resort can get you some good perks, like access to Disney transportation and fun Disney themes in your hotel room.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
Right now, Disney has a summer sale going on for several hotels around the property, but it’s not going to last much longer! Here are all the details you need to know to take advantage of this sale before it ends.
We’re heading into the final weeks of summer (even though Halloween is already in full force at Disney World!), and while we must say goodbye to the month of August, we’ll use our fond farewell as an opportunity to look back on all of our favorite (and…not so favorite) things we ate in the parks and resorts!
Spooooooky castle!
That’s right, we’re back with another monthly roundup of the best and worst things we had in Disney World for the month of August. This month brought us fall-themed treats and a TON of new Food and Wine booths, so there was no shortage of food and drink items to try!
Welcome to Princess Week at Disney World! During Disney’s Ultimate Princess Celebration, we’ve been enjoying seeing all kinds of fun things dedicated to our favorite Disney heroines.
Hello There Belle!
So far, we’ve checked out a NEW playground dedicated to Tiana, munched on some snacks devoted to our favorite princesses, and checked out all kinds of wonderful and new princess merchandise. And did we mention snacks? We did? Well, let us mention it again…there are limited time princess snacks in the parks right now and (of course) we’ve been making our way through some of them! Recently, we got the chance to try a new snack themed to a very special princess — Belle!
Creative Disney merchandise is our love language.
Jack Skellington Sipper
We’ve seen extravagant popcorn buckets, fun Mickey ears, and you can even make your house look like the Haunted Mansion! One thing we like to keep an eye out for are cool new ornaments, and we just found one that’s hiding something inside!
It’s officially Halloween and we’re loving all of Disney World’s spooky decorations, snacks, and the After Hours Boo Bash!
Halloween is here!!!
We’ve seen a TON of Halloween merchandise and costumes online and at Disney World! It’s one of our favorite times of the year!
We might be biased, but we would argue that Disney World hotels are some of our favorite hotels across the whole world! Not only do they offer a variety of themes and locations, but with the three categories — Value, Moderate, and Deluxe — they offer something to guests with a variety of budgets.
Can this view be beaten?
But there’s something else to consider when you’re booking that hotel room — what about the view? Now for some, the view isn’t that important, but if you’re like us and like to spend a little time at the hotel you’re staying at, you’ll want to book a hotel that has something nice to look at, right?
Extra Magic Hours haven’t been available at Disney World since it shut down back in 2020. Instead, Disney created new perks for hotel guests that aren’t quite the same as Extra Magic Hours but do allow guests more time in the parks.
Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom
Hotel guests on Disney property are able to get Early Theme Park Entry to all 4 theme parks, meaning they can go into the parks before they officially open. This includes guests at every Disney-owned hotel on property as well as Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels, Disney World’s on-property military hotel, and other local hotels. We have a full list of all the hotels eligible for Early Theme Park Entry here.
However, ONLY guests at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts have access to Extended Evening Hours, which allow you to stay in certain parks on select nights after they close. But the big question: would YOU be willing to shell out Deluxe resort prices for this perk? Here’s what our readers said!
