food IS a theme park
It’s always exciting when a Disney hotel gets re-themed.
Pixar Place Hotel
Our jaws literally DROPPED when we saw the HUGE transformation of the Disneyland Hotel in Disneyland Paris. Well, another hotel a little closer to home also just recently got a completely new look, and it’s ADORABLE. We’re talking about the former Paradise Pier Hotel in Disneyland, which is now the Pixar Place Hotel. So let’s take a tour of the brand-new rooms there!
Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel may be closed for good, but that might not be the end of the story.

The immersive, cruise-like experience was shuttered after it turned out that the cost to run the hotel was too much compared to the amount of money it was bringing in. Disney hasn’t made any sort of announcements about what could be next for the space or if we’d ever see anything like the Star Wars Hotel again, but we think we may have found our first hint.
Disneyland Paris is extra magical right now.

We’re not just referring to the recent snowfall that has blanketed the park and made it look even more beautiful. We’re talking about the reopening of the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris, which has been closed for refurbishment for a few years. Well, now, the newly updated hotel has officially reopened!
There are a lot of things to consider when picking a hotel for a Disney World trip.

First, are you JUST going to Disney World? We know a lot of folks visit Disney World AND Universal Orlando Resort. Is being on Disney World property important to you? Would you rather stay OUTSIDE of the Disney bubble and save some money? Do you need to stay somewhere that’s almost like a vacation in and of itself? Well, if that last thing is important to you, we’ve got a new hotel option in Orlando for you to consider.
Okay, so we know a LOT of you out there appreciate Disney World’s Resort Refillable Mugs.

Not only do they let you fill up on your favorite non-alcoholic beverages WHENEVER YOU WANT at your Disney World hotel (or at any OTHER Disney World hotel), but they also make great take-home souvenirs. Like who doesn’t need more Disney mugs, right? Well, there’s a pretty cool hack we know about refillable mugs that we wanted to share with you.
Well, it’s no secret that planning a trip to Disney World can be pretty expensive.
Intermission Food Court
Once you’ve booked your hotel, paid for your tickets, and booked your flight, you’re already out a pretty penny. And that’s not even including those pricey Genie+ fees! It’s also no secret that price increases happen a LOT on Disney World food, and if you’re planning on eating at your hotel food court, we’ve got some news about that, too.
If you’re planning a Disney World trip, we’ve got some big news to share with you.
Are you planning a trip?
So we’ve already talked about why January (especially late January) could be a great time to travel to Disney World: the holiday crowds are gone and the weather is generally cooler. However, we have ANOTHER reason why booking a trip to Disney World — or anywhere else — could be a good idea.
Is Disney’s Boardwalk Inn at the top of your list for a 2024 Disney World stay?
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn
We can certainly see why. Not only can you literally WALK to EPCOT from the hotel, but it’s also near the EPCOT Skyliner. Plus you have great dining options all around because you’re also within walking distance of several other hotels. But before you book that stay at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, we’ve got to warn you about a few things.
If one thing goes hand-in-hand, it’s Disney World and crowds.
We could see less of this in Disney World in 2024
Now, don’t get us wrong — there are still some times during the year when we don’t see as many folks in the parks. However, over the past few years, particularly after 2021, we started seeing more and more people traveling to Disney World. It’s pretty much peaked this week, with crowds and high ride wait times that have us pretty shocked. But Disney World could be a little quieter in 2024.
We’re constantly talking about the Disney World hotels — why you should stay on property, which hotel you should choose, and what perks they have.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
There are SO many options in Disney World, but there are even more options outside of the resort! From other hotel brands to Airbnbs, you could just as easily stay off-property. And if you’re on the fence with that decision, today we’re telling you why we’ve regretted staying in Disney World hotels in the past!
