While the MagicBands we know today still perform the same functions that the original MagicBands did back in 2013, they got some enhanced design upgrades.

By AJ and the DFB Team 1 Comment

There is a lot to think about when choosing where to stay on your next trip to Disney World.

Disney’s Pop Century Resort

You have to decide which type of hotel is best for you. While all three hotel tiers, Value, Moderate, and Deluxe, come with similar perks like Early Theme Park Entry, free transportation, and, starting in 2025, free water park entry on check-in day, you will need to find the hotel that fits your party’s needs the best.

By Lydia Storks 23 Comments

Are you a member of the Disney Vacation Club?

Riviera Resort

The pricey timeshare-style program from Disney allows owners to buy points that they can then use to book stays at a variety of Disney properties, including hotels at Disney World and Disneyland Resort. You don’t have to be a DVC member to stay at those particular resorts, but if you travel to Disney destinations often enough, it might be worth buying into the program. However, recently there has been a big problem facing DVC members.

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth 1 Comment

Booking your Disney World hotel can be more complicated than you may think.

Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht Club Hotel

Deciding where to stay in the first place is a challenge, considering there are over 20 different hotels on property to choose from, but there’s also the matter of getting the best deal. The lowest prices are almost always going to be at Disney World’s Value resorts while the Deluxe hotel stays will cost you the most (and Moderate resorts are in the middle), but Disney often has deals and discounts that can help you save.
