On April 2nd, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that he would be imposing tariffs on imported goods from other countries in the hopes of reviving manufacturing and generating revenue in the United States.
The initial tariffs were officially imposed on April 5th, a few days later, and more tariffs were imposed today, April 9th. The CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, expressed his concerns about Trump’s tariff plan and the impact it could have on the company as a whole. Could these changes mean that your Disney World vacation, like hotel stays, could become cheaper?
Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth!
And one of the best ways to stay even closer to the magic is to stay at one of the many Disney World Resort hotels! As a guest of a Disney World hotel, you can take advantage of tons of perks like advance Lighting Lane reservations, a free water park visit on your check-in day, Early Theme Park Entry, and free transportation! Although all of this is so nice, sometimes weird things go down at Disney World hotels.
I’m going to take you on a tour of my personal favorite Disney World hotel room that I cannot get enough of.
Wilderness Lodge
I do not feel that Disney’s Wilderness Lodge gets enough love when Disney fans talk about hotels. I love the dining options here, the proximity to Magic Kingdom, and the overall vibe. You feel like you’re in the woods at a nice retreat, but really you’re in the Disney bubble. My favorite hotel room is here, and I’m giving you the full tour.
There are so many perks when you choose to stay at a Walt Disney World hotel.
These perks include free transportation, a free water park visit on your day of check-in, Early Theme Park Entry, and the ability to book Lighting Lanes 7 days in advance. These perks are offered to all guests, regardless of whether they stay at a Value, Moderate, or Deluxe Resort. If you are looking for even more perks, those who stay at a Deluxe Resort can participate in Extended Evening Hours.
Disney World’s new Lightning Lane option has officially debuted!
In case you missed it, over the summer, Genie+ transformed into Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane switched over to Lighting Lane Single Pass. This change helped clear up some naming confusion and the new system mimics its predecessor FastPass+. Now, there is a third Lightning Lane option available, and some people have very strong feelings about it.
It is finally here! Lightning Lane Premier Pass has debuted at Disney World!
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is Disney World’s new Lightning Lane option that is available for guests of Deluxe Resorts and other select hotels. This new version of Disney’s pay-to-skip-the-line system allows you to access every single Lightning Lane within a park one time. The biggest perk of this new Lightning Lane option is that you do not need to make any ride selections, just simply show up to any attraction with a Lightning Lane at anytime!

Disney World’s pay-to-skip-the-line service just changed over the summer, and now a new service will soon be available for select visitors.
Genie+ is no longer, and the service was replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass. The new service is similar to Disney World’s old service, FastPass+. It unlike FastPass+, costs money though.With Multi Pass, you can now make your Lightning Lane selections in advance, and rides are split into a tier system. This change also makes it easier to start to budget for your vacation as prices are posted beforehand instead of the day of. With this change, Individual Lightning Lane transitioned into Lightning Lane Single Pass. Single Pass still works the same way as before, but just like Multi Pass, you can purchase and make your selections in advance. Well, now, a third Lightning Lane option will soon be introduced, and we have some not-so-great news about it.
