food IS a theme park
It’s officially the holiday season in Disney World!
Christmas has arrived at Disney World!
We’ve spotted Christmas decorations up at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom — and Main Street, U.S.A. is decked out with garland, ribbons, and the Christmas tree! We don’t blame you for wanting to plan a trip to the parks, and we’re here to help you out with all the Disney World hotel and ticket discounts you might find this November and beyond!
These days, it can be hard to keep up with all the changes and updates happening around Disney World.

From one day to the next, things are a bit different. We do our best to keep track of it all so you don’t have to, and so far, 2023 sounds like it could be one heck of a year for Disney World! If you’re heading to the parks in 2023 or are thinking about planning a trip, these are the dates you should know!
We’re not going to sugar coat it: Taking a trip to Disney World is expensive.

That’s why it’s important to stay aware of all of the potential deals and discounts you can get, when the most expensive times are to visit the parks, price increases, and more. But, another major issue that’s affecting almost everything in the U.S. right now is inflation. So, how could inflation impact your 2023 trip to Disney World? We’re breaking it all down for you right here.
We’re not going to sit here and pretend like planning a Disney World vacation is a completely relaxing experience, because that just wouldn’t be true.
Disney World vacations can take a LOT of prepping!
There’s a LOT of planning involved for Disney World trips, like how you’re going to get there, when you’re going to go, where you’re going to stay, the restaurants you want to eat at, the parks you want to go to, and more. It can be overwhelming for sure, and even if you plan everything out perfectly, there are still things that people worry about. We wanted to know what people are the MOST worried about for their Disney trips, so we asked our fans on Instagram and Facebook. Let’s dive into what they said!
Not all Disney World Resort hotels are created equally.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
In fact, some might just be downright WRONG for you and your travel party. There’s no doubt that each Disney World Resort hotel comes with its own set of pros and cons, but how can you decide which one is right for you? That’s where we come in — so let’s take a look at the WORST Disney World hotels for 2023!
If you’re planning a trip with school-aged kids, things can get COMPLICATED.
Cinderella Castle
You can plan a visit during school breaks — but then you’re likely to encounter crowds or even extreme heat in the summer. The other option is to take the kids out of school during non-peak times but, depending on your school’s policy, that might not be ideal. We asked DFB readers, “Would you take your kids out of school to go to Disney World?” Here is what a few of our readers responded with!
With the end of 2022 on the horizon, you might already be thinking about planning that Disney World vacation for 2023!
Riviera Resort
We don’t blame you — not only will the 50th Anniversary Celebrations continue through March, but TRON: Lightcycle Run is expected to open in Magic Kingdom early in the year, and new entertainment will be coming to the parks too! If you’ve been thinking about planning a trip, now might be the perfect place to start because NEW Disney World Resort hotel discounts have dropped for select guests!
Got an upcoming holiday trip to Disney World planned?
Magic Kingdom Christmas decor
We hope you’ve already bought your tickets and booked your Park Pass Reservations, because the holiday season is filling up QUICKLY! Christmas Day park passes have already sold out for Magic Kingdom, and the same can be said for New Year’s Eve. Now, it looks like another holiday is booked up in Magic Kingdom and the rest of the parks could be soon to follow!

If you’ve been a Disney World fan for all of about five minutes, you probably know that the parks are constantly changing.
Walt and Mickey
Not only that, but change can happen a lot more quickly than you might think. In the past five years, we’ve seen new attractions, restaurants, skip-the-line services, price increases, and more. With so much change happening in such a short period, it’s only a matter of time before we might look at Disney World and hardly even recognize it. We might not be able to see the future, but we can take a look at what the next five years look like for Disney World!
We’re getting closer and closer to Halloween, and Disney World is getting more and more busy!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
We even actually have seen the temperatures dropping in Disney World, which is giving us all of the spooky vibes for the season. If you’re going to the parks soon, there are a lot of things to do! You can take a look at all of the holiday decor, eat spooky treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and more. But, you also need to take a look at the calendar before you go. And, don’t forget that you still need a Park Pass Reservation to get into the parks — so we’ve compiled ALL of that info right here just for you!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
