food IS a theme park
Disney World hotels are far more than what they seem — they’re not just a place to rest your head at the end of a long park day, but instead feature plenty of activities and experiences, not to mention some stellar dining.

One Disney World hotel is home to a pretty popular activity that has been unavailable recently due to construction at the resort. But, may have spotted a sign that this activity might be back sooner than we originally thought!
Hurricane Milton has come and gone through Disney World.

The powerful storm ripped through Florida, causing several businesses, hotels, and theme parks, including Disney World, to close. The four parks and Typhoon Lagoon closed on October 9th as the hurricane barreled through the area and on October 10th as crews worked to clean up the debris and damage. (Blizzard Beach remained closed due to planned refurbishment.) However, it wasn’t just the parks and water park that were closed for the hurricane, and while the four theme parks reopened on October 11th, some areas have remained closed.
If you have been hoping to check out Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, you need to keep reading because you could win a Disney World vacation worth over $12,000 that includes staying at Fort Wilderness!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is a special place at Disney World. It is the only resort that offers the option to camp in a tent or RV, but you can also join in the fun by staying in one of the cabins. And there is lots of fun to be had at Fort Wilderness. You can explore the Tri-Circle-D Ranch, take part in campfire sing-alongs, chow down on some great food with a show, go on fishing excursions, and so much more.
It’s no secret that Disney World is getting more and more expensive as time goes on. And, although it isn’t just at Disney World where folks are feeling the squeeze, many people are looking for ways to save at the Most Magical Place on Earth.

Disney World hotels come with a TON of perks — but they can also come at a price. So, what if we told you there was a way to stay at a Disney World resort for even CHEAPER than the price of a Value Hotel? It’s true — but it just might prove to be our most controversial tip yet.
Well, it’s been another week of us eating our way around Disney World — do you blame us? We LIVE for Disney food.

We even reacquainted ourselves with Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs this week, as well as checked out a new POG drink (YES, REALLY!!!). Now, we’re counting down until we can have beignets in Magic Kingdom again (and these look more like authentic New Orleans-style beignets, which is ALL we ever wanted). In the meantime, we’re going through all the menu changes we spotted in Disney World restaurants.
Will you be visiting Disney World in 2024?
Fort Wilderness
If you are and you haven’t planned your visit yet, you may be looking for a place to stay. You may be VERY interested in staying at Disney World’s NEWLY refurbished Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. If you are, pay attention, because we’ve got some very important dates you need to know about.
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World, but that’s all part of Walt’s original vision for the parks.
Twixt Bundt Cake
This week alone, we saw the closing of a classic Disney attraction as it gets updated to reopen later this year. We got a clue that a popular character dining experience might soon return. We learned that beignets would soon be on the menu at Magic Kingdom. Disney World restaurants also saw some changes, so let’s take a look at how those menus were updated this week.
Is it just us or is January the longest month of the year? Okay, so we probably feel like that because so much has happened in Disney World this month.

In food news, we’re still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of the Disney Dining Plan now that it’s returned. We’re also on the lookout for all the upcoming Valentine’s Day treats. Plus it’s only the second week of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But Disney World restaurants are continuing to change, so let’s take a look at what those changes were for the past week.
Some things are changing in Disney World in 2024.
Fort Wilderness cabin
First, we’re getting ANOTHER brand new ride with Tiana’s Bayou Attraction. But a lot of changes are happening at Disney World hotels, too. We’re talking new rooms, new restaurants, and more. Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, though, is getting some brand new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins, but we’ve got a word of warning before you get TOO excited about those.
So it’s no secret that Disney World will ALWAYS be changing, and that’s part of why we love visiting so much.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Just this year alone, we welcomed some new attractions, saw a hotel close forever, got to eat in a brand new restaurant, and more! Well, things are about to change even more at Disney World hotels and — dare we say — these are some good changes! So let’s see what we can look forward to!
