food IS a theme park
A lot has changed at Disney World hotels over the past few years.
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
So many hotels have been updated, and some are STILL under construction (Disney’s Polynesian Village and Grand Floridian Resorts, we’re looking at you). Many hotels also got brand new rooms, but they all had one thing in common: something was missing! So we decided to ask YOU, our DFB Readers, what you think of the rooms’ updated look.
Let’s say you’re going on a YOLO trip to Disney World and you want to splurge BIG on the trip.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Obviously, that means staying in one of Disney World’s deluxe hotels (unless you’re lucky enough to win in the Cinderella Castle Suite). But which deluxe hotels are the ones worth the splurge and higher price tags? Well, we asked you, and you told us!
Well, we recently learned that Disney World is about to get more expensive in a LOT of different ways.
Annual Pass card
Thousands of price increases have arrived at Disney World restaurants. Special tours got more expensive. The price of Memory Maker has gone up. Parking is now higher. Even the price of Disney World Annual Passes have gone up — and as a result, some Disney World fans are saying “enough is enough.”
This past week, Disney made a HUGE announcement.

They let fans know that they plan to DOUBLE their investments in Parks, Experiences, and Products (DPEP). This will mean spending $60 billion on expansions over the next 10 years. That’s a lot of money! But fans aren’t really sure what to think about this announcement. We asked our readers “What do you REALLY think about Disney’s $60 billion expansion plans?” We got quite a mix of opinions. Here’s what they said.
Have you ever thought about what your favorite Disney World ride is? I mean, really thought about it?

As you know, there are a ton of rides you can choose from. So, we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about having to live on one ride and one ride only at Disney World. We asked and boy, did you deliver!
Many Disney fans believe there is a “right” way and a “wrong” way to visit a Disney park.
Which way from here?
For anyone who hasn’t been to Disney World before, planning the trip can be a bit daunting. There’s so much to consider like plane tickets, park tickets, Genie+, and when the best time to go is. We’ve realized that people tell straight-up lies when they’re giving advice on how to “do Disney.” We’re here today to expose those lies!
Have you thought about what you need to pack for a Disney World trip? I mean, really thought about it?
Welcome to Disney World!
The list can get pretty long when you’re thinking about all the travel essentials you’ll need. And, as you know, there are plenty of opportunities to forget those most important things. That really got us thinking. So, we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about something you missed having at Disney World. We asked and boy did you deliver!
When it comes to the Disney parks, things are constantly changing and evolving!

From ride refurbishments, to new restaurants, to hotel changes, and more, things tend to move pretty quickly around the Disney parks. The changes aren’t always popular, but sometimes Disney totally NAILS IT and rolls out an update that gets overwhelming applause from the fans! And so far, that seems to be the case with a recent update to the process of dining reservations!
The holidays at Disney World. How do you really feel about them?
It’s so BEAUTIFUL
We’re thinking about entertainment, the treats, and the crowds. Not all of those make you excited. So, we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about a specific holiday week at Disney World. We asked and boy did you deliver!
We’re about to tell you to do something we’ve never told you before.
Holidays in Disney World
We usually tell you to do everything you can to avoid Disney World during the holiday season, ESPECIALLY on Christmas Day. The crowds are usually terrifying. You’ll probably pay more for your hotel and tickets (except for maybe this year). PLUS Genie+ is usually more expensive due to demand. Well, we asked YOU, our readers, and not only do you LIKE going to the parks on Christmas Week, but you recommend it!
