food IS a theme park
There have been a lot of big projects happening with the Disney World hotels recently.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
We’ve seen countless room updates over the past few years, as well as new restaurants added, lobby refurbishments, and more. If you’re staying in a Disney Resort during your vacation, it’s important to know what refurbishments or construction projects are happening so that you know if they’ll impact your stay…and now there’s a scheduled power outage coming up for one hotel!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is so much more than just a beautiful hotel.

The resort is more of an experience than a hotel, a space where guests can dress up, step aboard a “starship,” and live out their own interactive Star Wars stories. It was a very cool concept, but many people were deterred from trying it due to the hefty price tag that came along with it. Now, less than a year later, Disney is offering the FIRST discount on the experience!
