food IS a theme park
After a long, hot day at Disney, taking a dip in the pool is the best feeling ever. Maybe you even schedule a whole day of your trip to take a break from the parks and lounge by the gorgeous pools at Disney’s resorts.
How relaxing!
If trips to the pool are an important part of your Disney vacation, you’ll want to keep reading so you don’t make a huge mistake when planning your next trip to Disney!
Disney World hotels are getting in the holiday spirit.
The Grand Floridian Christmas tree is here!
The gingerbread houses have gone up, the snacks have arrived, and the giant Christmas trees are adorning the lobbies. But so much more is going on at the hotels, so we’re going to get you all caught up on the updates!
Disney World hotels are the place to BE around the holidays!
Grand Floridian
We’ve seen decor go up around the parks, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party kicks off in just a few days, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is just around the corner. But the hotels have so much holiday cheer as well — you’ll find fun decor, special gingerbread displays, and exclusive treats. So let’s look at the latest updates from the Disney World hotels!
It’s officially the season of PUMPKIN SPICE — but only for a little while longer!
Pumpkin Spice Latte
This season we’ve enjoyed pumpkin spice in Disney World in the form of a milkshake, a cupcake or two, a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (of course), and more, and now pumpkin spice has collided with one of our favorite Mickey-shaped treats!
Well, we saw a lot of price increases in Disney World this week.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Some were for food (we’ll get to that in a bit), but we also saw a price increase for Genie+ and the service switched to flexible pricing, meaning you’ll pay even more when demand is high. We’ve touched a little upon the food increases, but here’s the thing — there were a LOT more and we’re unpacking ALL those restaurant menu changes for you right here.
You might think that finding plant-based eats in Disney World is hard, but you could be wrong.
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
We’re seeing more plant-based options added to Disney World menus all the time! From plant-based Mickey waffles to plant-based Totchos to the Toasted “Lobster” Roll in Hollywood Studios, there are several snacks and meals that Disney World’s vegan guests can enjoy. Now we’re trying out even MORE plant-based options from Scat Cat’s Club at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter!
It’s World Princess Week, everyone, and Disney is CELEBRATING!
Princesses in Disney World
This week is a part of Disney’s Ultimate Princess Celebration that’s been going on all year. We’ve seen special merchandise, designer princess dolls, and more for the festivities over the past several months, and we even celebrated World Princess Week last year. Now, the special week has returned, and it’s brought with it some tasty new treats. Come along with us as we try out a NEW dessert inspired by Princess Tiana!
Choosing a hotel is one of the most difficult choices to make during the Disney World trip planning process. Is budget more important? Or is it location? Restaurants??
Disney’s Grand Floridian
If you’re visiting Disney World for the first time, you’re not alone if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the hotel options. So we were curious — what do our readers think?? We asked DFB readers, “Name one Disney World hotel you’d recommend to someone visiting for the first time!”
Do you have a favorite Disney World hotel?
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Do you like the Hawaiian vibes of the Polynesian? Or are you more into the groovy theming of Pop Century? Perhaps you dig the New Orleans vibes of the Port Orleans resorts. Or maybe you just love pretending to eat pastries on the French Riviera at the Riviera. Whatever your preference, there’s a hotel for you! We just visited Disney World’s hotels, checking in to see what’s been going on with them lately.
It may no longer be Mother’s Day, but the celebration hasn’t stopped!
Mother’s Day Photopass Sign!
Tons of new treats popped up around the Disney Parks for Mother’s Day, like this beautiful cupcake, this treat combo, and a mimosa dessert! And even though Mother’s Day has passed, we’re still not done trying Mother’s Day treats, as some are still available! So we went to Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts to try the Mother’s Day Cupcake!
