If you’re planning a 2021 trip to Disney World right now, you might be running into a few bumps that you weren’t expecting!
10/10
Trip planning is stranger than ever because of limited capacity in parks and all the reopenings going on around Disney World! Hotels and restaurants alike are reopening through the summer and later in the year. Oh yeah, and there’s that little 50th Anniversary thing going on in October (and all the crowds and craziness it will bring) to look forward to. 😉 Here’s what you need to know about the BIGGEST problems you’ll run into when planning a 2021 Disney World trip.
One part of a Disney World experience that might get overlooked while you’re busy thinking about all there is to do, eat, and ride in the parks is the Resorts!

We’re visiting several Disney World hotels to let you know about any updates we find along the way!
Hello, DFB friends!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
What a week we’ve had, right? Although we’ve been VERY busy getting excited about the holidays and eating ALL THE THINGS at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, we’ve also been visiting the Disney World resorts to see what’s new, so let’s get on with the updates!
Change is something that has become synonymous with Disney World over the years and more particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes with FastPasses+, entertainment, and extra magic hours had some people wondering if a trip to Disney World was even worth it anymore.
Mornings can be busy in Magic Kingdom!
Speaking of Extra Magic Hours, in 2021, Disney World replaced the hotel perk with Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours. If you are unfamiliar with Extra Magic Hours, they were first implemented to allow guests staying at a Disney Hotel to either gain early access or stay later in the theme parks. The idea is still the same, but a bit simpler with Early Theme Park Entry allowing guests to enter any of the parks 30 minutes early every day to get a head start. But, which hotels have access to this benefit? Well, we have a FULL LIST for you! [Read more…]
UPDATE: We’ve now seen these Hurricane Meal Kits removed from several of the menus they previously appeared on. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates.
If you live in Florida or are headed to Florida soon, you’re probably keeping tabs on Tropical Storm Elsa may impact the weather in the state for the next few days.
Storm Clouds!
We’re watching for updates on that and will be keeping you updated. In the past we’ve shared a look at what you need to know if a hurricane threatens Disney World, and even our thoughts on the best hurricane-ready hotels in Disney World. But, today we spotted something unique when we looked at some Disney World hotel menus, which could relate to the upcoming storm.
Headed to Disney World soon?

Plans for a 2021 Disney World visit typically include park passes, hotel reservations, and theme park tickets. But with the 50th Anniversary being a BIG event, you’ll want to get started on that trip planning very early. So, recently we took a look at Disney World resort hotel availabilities and pricing for the 50th anniversary, right around October 1st, 2021. What does hotel availability look like right now? What spots are already booked up and what’s still available (if anything)? We’re breaking it all down for you here!
We’re not going to lie — we are OBSESSED with Minnie Ears ’round these parts.
So many ears…
And Disney knows we’re not the only ones — because why else would they release SO MANY? And ears come in so many different varieties that it’s easy to find a pair to represent everything we love about Disney! But did you know you could also match your ears to your Disney World resort?
How many times have you placed a Mobile Order at Disney World and just sat there waiting while your stomach was yelling at you to JUST EAT SOMETHING?!
