With the Disney Dining Plan, it can be EASIER to budget out all the theme park foods your heart desires. Disney has set up two versions of the Disney Dining Plan for different budgets and dining tastes. Plans are an optional add-on to your Disney World trip (including a stay at a Disney owned-and-operated hotel), so that all you have to do when you get to Disney World is head to one of the participating restaurants and scan your MagicBand or Disney MagicMobile pass.
Well…what if we told you that there’s a way you can snag your dining plan FOR FREE?
EPCOT is known for a lot of things.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Eating and drinking around the world and the World Showcase, in general, are two big things, but when we say EPCOT you also might think of one of the most popular rides in Disney World right now — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We ADORE this ride, but think some of the song choices could be refreshed just a little bit. We asked our readers on Facebook what they thought, and we fully support these suggestions!
Disney World certainly has some great dining at its parks and hotels.
Welcome to Disney Springs!
However, you can find even more amazing dining in Disney Springs, including several restaurants owned by celebrity chefs. However, we’re not going to concern ourselves with those restaurants right now because we’re here to help you dine on a budget by telling you about the cheapest meal we’ve had in Disney Springs and what’s so great about it.
There is usually something closed in Disney World.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid will soon become “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure”
Sometimes rides need to be refurbished, or they are reimagined into new attractions. But in the past, Disney has closed multiple attractions over the years and just…never done anything else with them. Some of these attractions we’ve seen finally get a reopening date, but for others, we’re wondering if they’ll ever see guests again.
It has been quite some time since we said goodbye to the Galactic Starcruiser.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The Galactic Starcruiser was the immersive Star Wars Hotel that could be found at Disney World. This was a great experience for those who wanted to be in the world of Star Wars. It was a very ambitious project for Disney, and it helped create a lot of memories for those who got to have this experience while it was open. Well, a Disney executive just opened up about some thoughts and feelings he has about the project — and it’s pretty heartwarming. [Read more…]
This summer is gearing up to be an exciting one in Disney World! Not only will CommuniCore Hall and Plaza finally be opening in EPCOT in June, but we’re also excited about the reimagining of the Country Bear Jamboree and, of course, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Construction has been picking up speed at this ride lately, with Cast Members adding finishing touches here and there. It looks like one of those finishing touches has officially arrived at Tiana’s and we’re bringing you with us to check it out!
One of Disney’s World’s oldest hotels is scheduled for a gas outage this week that will affect anyone staying on property.Â
Shades of Green Hotel
The resort currently known as Shades of Green first opened as the Disney Golf Resort in 1973, catered mainly to those playing on Walt Disney World’s Palm and Magnolia golf courses. The resort’s name was changed to the Disney Inn and it was retimed to Snow White in 1986 in an attempt to raise occupancy rates and appeal to those beyond golfers. In the mid-1990s, the hotel was purchased by the U.S. Department of Defense for use by the military’s Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program. Reopened as Shades of Green, it provides discounted prices for rooms and theme park tickets for military personnel of all ranks, as well as their families and guests.Â
Disney World is just full of surprises.
EPCOT
We’re in the parks every single day, and even we sometimes still come across something we haven’t seen before (it’s rare — but it happens!). And when it does, we love sharing the news with you. We’ve known about this hidden bar in Disney World for a while, but we realized not everyone might know about it — until now!
