We’ve got some merch, entertainment, and food updates for ya, so let’s dive right on in!
The list of Mobile Order restaurants at Disney World just got a little longer!
Landscape of Flavors Sign
Because starting today, you can now Mobile Order from Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort!
These days, it seems like change is the name of the game in Disney World. From Epcot’s massive transformation to the recent opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the World seems to be in a constant state of change.
Monorail in Epcot
Given this amount of updating, it’s no surprise that Disney World’s modes of transportation are transforming as well.
Welcome to our latest update of What’s New at Disney’s Pop Century and Art of Animation Resorts!
Art of Animation Resort
Today we’ll tell you about some fun new cupcakes, Halloween merchandise, and more!
Hello from the beautiful and colorful Art of Animation Resort! It’s been a minute since we dined here on something that wasn’t sweet… (Not that we’re complaining. I mean…have you seen THIS COOKIE!?)

…so we decided to swing by Landscape of Flavors to see if one of our old favorites still stood up to our taste test! It’s time to go “Unda da Sea” — and no, we aren’t talking about visiting The Little Mermaid section of the resort.
This week we had a chance to swing by two of our favorite Value Resorts — Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Art of Animation Resort. Both resorts received some menu updates in their food courts, but first let’s check in on the progress of that Skyliner Station!
Art of Animation and Pop Century Resorts Skyliner Station
The new Skyliner System will connect these two resorts, as well as Caribbean Beach Resort and the new Riviera Resort, to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios.
I know, I know… we were just talking about new Refillable Resort Mugs hitting the shelves at a few Walt Disney World Resort counter service locations last week. BUT…
Refillable Resort Mugs at Landscape of Flavors
Those new Mickey Mouse Refillable Resort Mugs already have a new neighbor on the shelf — at least, that’s the case at Art of Animation Resort’s Landscape of Flavors Food Court. You see, along with the new Mickey Refillable Mugs, the bottom shelf has a new mug featuring Pixar pals! [Read more…]
A special piece of animation was introduced to the world on November 18, 1928 when Mickey Mouse appeared in Steamboat Willie. This past weekend, we celebrated the 90 Year Anniversary all over Walt Disney World.

So it’s fitting that we’re checking out What’s New at the Disney World Resort which celebrates the art of Disney films: Disney’s Art of Animation Resort!
Our first stop is the Ink and Paint Shop, where you’ll find the Birthday Mouse on holiday themed sketches (with some available to be personalized). SUPER cute gift idea for any Disney fans on your list. [Read more…]
All eyes are on the SKIES in Walt Disney World, as construction is well underway for the Disney Skyliner transportation system!
Skyliner Support Tower at Caribbean Beach Resort
From support towers to Skyliner stations, Disney is gearing up for this new transportation system which will connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot to four Resorts: Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach and the upcoming Disney’s Riviera Resort. [Read more…]
EVEN MORE news today regarding the Free Dining Offer that has been released for guests traveling to Disney World in 2018!
This batch of news is specific to Disney Visa Cardholders who can book the 2018 Disney World Free Dining Offer now for arrival dates starting on August 2nd. (Arrival dates for general public begin August 20th.)
So, for Disney Visa Cardholders, eligible arrival dates to book Free Dining are as follows:
A Disney Visa Cardmember must stay in the reserved room, and guests must use a valid Disney Visa Card or Disney Rewards Redemption card to pay the deposit.
Except where noted above, other details as released this morning remain the same for Disney Visa Cardholders (including that the offer must be booked by July 7th).
Since Disney World’s Free Dining offer generally can’t be combined with other discounts, it’s often difficult to determine how to save the MOST money: with a Disney World hotel room discount or with the free dining offer.
We break down and compare the costs and options for several Disney World discounts, including the Free Dining offer, in our fully updated DFB Guide to Walt Disney World® Dining 2018 e-Book to help you save the most money possible.
