The Disney Dining Plan is returning to Disney World in early 2024, but while we wait for that perk to come back, there’s a NEW dining discount coming soon!
Plaza Restaurant
Early this year, Disney announced the new Dining Promo Card discount, which is essentially a gift card that you get when you stay at a Disney-owned hotel that you can use for food throughout Disney World. The offer announced in January was for trips from July 1st, 2023, and September 14th, 2023, but now there’s a NEW Dining Promo Card offer available! [Read more…]

Did you know that a Disney World hotel is closing permanently this month?
Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser
Disney World has all kinds of hotels on property, ranging from the value All-Star Resorts to the incredibly luxurious Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. But there’s one hotel that’s been open for less than two years — and it’s going to be permanently closing its doors in just a couple of weeks. [Read more…]
Disney World vacations are super magical, but there are definitely some not-so-magical things about the trip. One of our LEAST favorite things is the hassle of packing and unpacking both at home and at the hotel.
What do you pack for Disney World?
Living out of a suitcase while you’re on vacation is a necessary inconvenience that you simply can’t avoid…or can you? We just found a pretty cool solution on Amazon, and it’s LESS than $30!
Disney World has some absolutely incredible hotels — we’re not denying that — but the hotels at the Most Magical Place on Earth also have a FATAL FLAW.
Grand Floridian Lobby
No, it’s not the over-the-top Disney theming at some spots (which might not appeal to older adults) or the lack of Disney theming at other places (which might not appeal to kiddos). And it’s not even the current lack of room service at most of the hotels (though that is something to consider before booking). Nope, Disney World’s hotels have a different fatal flaw and it’s something you’ll need to know about before booking.
As Hurricane Idalia nears Florida, Disney World has made a few statements about how the parks and hotels are responding.

As Idalia has been upgraded to a hurricane, Disney has started to share some updates.
Be Careful Out There!
If you’re at Disney World right now, you may want to keep your ears open for updates as Hurricane Idalia gets nearer. Disney has started to take precautions and will most likely continue to do so.
For the amount of money you’ll wind up spending on your Disney World resort, you’re BOUND to fall in love with it immediately… right? RIGHT??
