food IS a theme park
Well, here we are at the end of the year, and it HAS BEEN A YEAR, hasn’t it?
Trattoria al Forno
This year saw a TON of new price increases at Disney World restaurants, as well as tons of other changes. We’ve also seen the return of buffets and character dining. Just this week, we’ve had a few changes — so let’s go over those now.
This is one of the BEST times of year to stay at a Disney World hotel.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Why? Because the holiday decorations are up, the Christmas trees are in the lobbies, the gingerbread displays are out, and the spirit of the holidays is EVERYWHERE. But there’s way more than just holiday stuff going on at Disney World hotels, so let’s see what’s new!
Changes are constant at Disney World and it can be hard to keep up!
BoardWalk Lobby
Whether you’re keeping track of the big things like the brand new TRON ride opening at Magic Kingdom in the spring or the smaller things like new signs, there’s a long list of things to keep track of as a Disney fan. Now, that list is getting even longer because we have more information on a new coffee shop at Disney World!
There has been a lot of changes happening over at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn.
BoardWalk
Earlier this year, we found out that new things would be coming to the hotel, like new food and decor. We’ve already seen the new BoardWalk Deli open up, and we’ve also seen some things at the BoardWalk close down. And now, we’re finding out MORE about the NEW coffee shop coming to the hotel!
Listen, the amount of holiday sweets we’ve eaten as a company in the past few weeks is enough to keep half the dentists in America in business…
So many sweet treats!
…but we’re not stopping now! We’ve tried sweets all around the Disney World parks and resorts as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Thanksgiving treats arrived, and now it’s time to hit up ANOTHER gingerbread display to see what they’ve got in store. Ho ho ho, let’s go!
A lot of things have been changing around Disney World lately.
BoardWalk
We’ve seen things reopening, like restaurants, returning, like popular shows, and even some new stuff, like a new ride! We learned earlier this year that some MAJOR changes would be coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, like the new deli that has already opened, and a new look for the lobby. There is also a new restaurant on the way — The Cake Bake Shop! And, we just got a first look at some concept art.
Disney World hotels are the place to BE around the holidays!
Grand Floridian
We’ve seen decor go up around the parks, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party kicks off in just a few days, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is just around the corner. But the hotels have so much holiday cheer as well — you’ll find fun decor, special gingerbread displays, and exclusive treats. So let’s look at the latest updates from the Disney World hotels!
We talk about delicious food inside the Disney World parks all the time, but that’s not the only place you can find tasty eats in Disney World.
Spice Road Table spread in EPCOT
Sure, there are some great options in the parks, from Dole Whips to hot dogs to cheeseburger springs rolls. But, there’s also a TON of great food at the Disney World hotels! So, we’re going to tell you about the places to eat that are worth leaving the theme parks for in Disney World.
Well, we saw a lot of price increases in Disney World this week.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Some were for food (we’ll get to that in a bit), but we also saw a price increase for Genie+ and the service switched to flexible pricing, meaning you’ll pay even more when demand is high. We’ve touched a little upon the food increases, but here’s the thing — there were a LOT more and we’re unpacking ALL those restaurant menu changes for you right here.
Disney’s BoardWalk is getting some BIG changes!
Disney’s BoardWalk
The BoardWalk Deli recently opened, The Cake Bake Shop is bringing desserts to the BoardWalk soon, and the BoardWalk Inn will be “reinvigorated” with changes in the lobby, lounge, and guest rooms. And now there’s a BIG change in one space inside BoardWalk Inn!
