food IS a theme park
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you might want to apologize to your wallet beforehand.

Planning a trip to Disney World is tricky enough before even factoring in cost. We’re no strangers to Disney World price increases, as we’ve seen things like ticket prices and Lightning Lane costs get more expensive this year. Unfortunately, the blows aren’t slowing down as Disney World has increased food costs across their resorts.
Are you having trouble deciding where you should stay when you visit Disney World?
Disney World
There are over 25 hotels on Disney World property alone. It can be hard to find the right fit for you and your party. With three different hotel tiers, Value, Moderate, and Deluxe, each tier shares and has its benefits as compared to the others. While you may think the room size or proximity to the park may be some travelers’ top priority, a pool rule could actually sway where you stay!
It is not only the theme parks and Disney Springs that have great dining options at Disney World.

Disney World’s hotels have SO MANY great dining options. Depending on whether you choose to stay at a Value, Moderate, or Deluxe Resort, your dining options increase. Value Resorts only have food courts, whereas Moderate Resorts will have a food court with some other quick-service and table-service options. Deluxe Resorts have the most dining options; for example, the Grand Floridian has over a dozen dining options, including a food court, a character dining experience, and the luxurious Victoria and Albert’s. But we have a controversial hotel restaurant statement to make.
We know a thing or two about dining at Disney World!
California Grill
Not only have we dined at every restaurant at Disney World, but we have even stayed at every hotel in Disney World. We have ranked hotels and restaurants, but then we thought, “What if we ranked Disney World hotels just based on their restaurants instead?” So that is precisely what we are going to do!
Here at Disney Food Blog, we love staying at a Disney World Hotel when we visit Disney World!

One of the biggest decisions you can make when planning a trip to Disney World is where you’ll stay.

Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts are the fanciest (and usually the most expensive) hotels on property. We recently took you on a tour of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, which is located very close to Magic Kingdom.
EPCOT Area Hotels
Now we’re heading to the EPCOT area to tour another Deluxe hotel over there. There’s actually a pair of fancy hotels right next to each other, and Disney calls them “sister hotels.” Today, we’re taking a look at the “fun” sister in this pair, although you’ll probably agree with us that it still looks like a very upscale experience. These rooms aren’t quite as pricey as the Grand Floridian, but they’re not far off. But you can head inside with us now for FREE to take a look at these rooms! [Read more…]
