Okay, so maybe we’re being a bit dramatic. But we’re still excited to say that daily housekeeping is coming back to ALL Disney World hotels!
After a long, hot day at Disney, taking a dip in the pool is the best feeling ever. Maybe you even schedule a whole day of your trip to take a break from the parks and lounge by the gorgeous pools at Disney’s resorts.
How relaxing!

2023 is shaping up to be a momentous year for the Disney company.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The final voyage for the Star Wars Hotel will be September 28th-30th, 2023. After that, the Galactic Starcruiser will be permanently closed. On May 26th, Disney shared a message on the Galactic Starcruiser website stating that the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is unavailable for new bookings. However, the message also indicated that a limited number of rooms could become available for new bookings “from time to time.” Disney urges guests to continue checking the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser website for any new availability.

The 50th celebrations at Walt Disney World have wrapped up, and just as those come to a close the entire company is celebrating its 100th anniversary! 2023 might be an important year for many guests as well. For example, you might be taking your first trip on the Galactic Starcruiser, Disney’s immersive Star Wars experience. Also known as the Star Wars hotel, the Starcruiser combines Disney’s resort amenities, dining, entertainment, and activities in a 2-night/3-day experience. When it first opened in March of 2022, some scrambled to get a spot while others were more hesitant due to the price tag. Now that the experience has had time to settle in, you might be ready to book! Let’s take a look at which dates have already sold out for this experience in 2023.
There have been a lot of big projects happening with the Disney World hotels recently.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
We’ve seen countless room updates over the past few years, as well as new restaurants added, lobby refurbishments, and more. If you’re staying in a Disney Resort during your vacation, it’s important to know what refurbishments or construction projects are happening so that you know if they’ll impact your stay…and now there’s a scheduled power outage coming up for one hotel!

Even though it’s “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” not every moment is going to be perfect. We found some of the “less than magical” reviews folks submitted online to see what impacted their experience and find some solutions to help you avoid these same situations!
Back in March 2022, Disney World opened the first-of-its-kind Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The resort is more of an experience than a hotel, a space where guests can dress up, step aboard a “starship,” and live out their own interactive Star Wars stories. It was a very cool concept, but many people were deterred from trying it due to the hefty price tag that came along with it. Now, less than a year later, Disney is offering the FIRST discount on the experience!
