food IS a theme park
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!
Disney World hotels are changing in a BIG way!
Beach Club Resort
Several hotels in Disney World are getting pretty major makeovers, from changes to the guest rooms to entire new buildings. Let’s take a look at SIX hotels that will have brand-new rooms in 2024 so that you know where you want to stay for your next vacation. [Read more…]
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!
Disneyland Resort is SO busy right now — a LOT is going on! Not only did Disneyland just get its own version of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (with an AMAZING queue), but the land it resides in, ToonTown, also got a big makeover.

Disneyland is also retheming Tarzan’s Treehouse, as well as building an all-new Tiana’s Palace restaurant. On top of that, DisneylandForward is moving forward to work with the city of Anaheim to expand the resort. PLUS, a new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) tower called The Villas at Disneyland Hotel is being built at the Disneyland Hotel — and now that tower has been officially given a name.
Planning a trip to Walt Disney World can be complicated — especially when you’re trying to choose between 25 resort hotels. If you’re trying to decide between these two amazing resorts, just know that your vacation is going to be epic! But how do you make your final selection?
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Choosing between Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and Disney’s Riviera Resort isn’t an easy task. So, let’s do some comparisons to see which one is right for you!
If you’ve visited Disney World recently, you’ve probably seen a LOT of construction. It seems like a lot of the resort is currently a work in progress.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
EPCOT is still undergoing its massive multi-year transformation. A classic Disney ride is getting completely reimagined over in Magic Kingdom. And Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting some brand new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas. We’ve seen the progress really moving along on this expansion and now we’ve got another update for you.
Are you ready for Moonlight Magic in Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Hollywood Studios at night
This is a special event for Disney Vacation Club members that gives them the chance to enjoy certain parks AFTER they’ve closed to “regular” guests. At the beginning of this year, Disney announced the Moonlight Magic events that would be returning in 2023, and recently we found out the registration dates for each event. One of those registration dates has finally arrived!
