food IS a theme park
A few different areas in Disney World are basically construction zones right now due to all the NEW stuff coming to the resort.
Disney’s Polynesian Resort
We’ve got a new attraction to look forward to in EPCOT. We’ve got the Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers coming to Disney’s Boardwalk. We’ve got Summer House on the Lake coming to Disney Springs. There’s SO much going on, including an expansion at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
UPDATE: Registration has sold out for the August 2nd Moonlight Magic event date at Animal Kingdom.
It is time!
Tree of Life at Night
Disney World is known for putting on a few spectacular after-hours events for traditional guests and even exclusive ones for Disney Vacation Club members. Today — July 19th — those that didn’t have resort reservations to secure a spot during the early registration window for the Moonlight Magic event coming soon to Disney’s Animal Kingdom will finally have their chance at securing a reservation! Here’s what you need to know.
Y’all — Disneyland is where it’s AT these days.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
First, so much new stuff has either come to the parks or IS coming to the parks. We got a brand-new ToonTown, including Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. A new Tiana-themed restaurant is coming soon PLUS there’s a Marvel musical going on RIGHT NOW. Just whoa! If you’ve ever wanted to visit Disneyland, this could be your chance because Disney is giving away a FREE trip to its resort on the West Coast!
There is SO much going on in Disney World right now — it’s hard to keep track of everything!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Splash Mountain is long gone and is becoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. New restaurants are being built at Disney’s BoardWalk and Disney Springs. The Moana attraction in EPCOT is coming right along. Now, let’s take a look at Disney’s NEW Disney Vacation Club villas that are coming together at Disney’s Polynesian Resort!
We’re gearing up for a whirlwind lineup of special events in Disney World — holiday parties!
Hollywood Studios Christmas tree
Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can score some pretty sweet discounts throughout Disney World, on everything from food to merch to special event tickets and more. But, there’s one rule that we think people tend to forget about these discounts — they often have some strings attached.
Have you ever considered becoming a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member? For those not in the know, Disney Vacation Club is sort of like a timeshare, but with Disney properties. Some of the properties available as part of the club are Disney World and Disneyland hotels, rooms at Disney’s Aulani Resort, and more!
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
Membership also comes with other perks, including exclusive events at the parks, exclusive lounges, and even special discounts. Does that sound like your cup of tea? Well, now Disney has released a HUGE incentive to get more people to sign up.
There are several different Disney World events that take place in the parks after they close for the night, including Extended Evening Hours for guests at Disney’s deluxe hotels, some holiday parties, and After Hours events. But there’s one very EXCLUSIVE event that’s coming up soon!
Moonlight Magic popcorn bucket
Disney Vacation Club Members can take advantage of Moonlight Magic events, which are unique After Hours parties just for the DVC. These events include complimentary snacks and drinks, special character interactions, low wait times for popular rides, and more. If you’re hoping to attend the Moonlight Magic event at Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon, you’ll need to set your alarm for tomorrow morning! [Read more…]
So MUCH is happening in Disney World. It sometimes feels like too much to try and keep track of all the progress happening around the parks and resorts!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom is getting a makeover to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. New restaurants are being built at Disney’s BoardWalk and at Disney Springs. But we want to talk about the new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas coming to Disney’s Polynesian Resort, so let’s take a look at the progress on those!
There are a LOT of options (well over 20, in fact!) when it comes to choosing your Resort hotel for your Disney World vacation.
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Do you prefer being on “Island Time” or would you rather go back in time? Are you looking for whimsical surroundings or are you considering something more sophisticated? Would you like to stay near Magic Kingdom or perhaps closer to EPCOT?
With so many choices, we’ve found it helpful to take things one at a time. Well, okay… technically we’re taking things TWO at a time as we compare TWO Disney World Resort hotels to help you get an idea of which might be right for you. So here we’re exploring both Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. [Read more…]
Let’s face it — Walt Disney World is expensive. It’s no secret that your admission tickets to the theme parks will take up a huge chunk of your upcoming vacation budget. If you’ve recently priced admission for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and/or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you know why we’re focused today on helping each other find discounts!
Magic Kingdom!
It doesn’t matter if you are visiting Disney World for an extended trip or a few days, it’s still a costly vacation. Therefore, you should watch for Disney World Discounts offered to affinity groups, including Disney World Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Disney Visa Cardholders, Florida Residents, Military, and more!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
