food IS a theme park
What’s up, DFB friends? We’re here to go over all the Disney World hotel news!
Wilderness Lodge
There are a LOT of updates to go over for Disney World hotels, so let’s get right into it!
Disney World has all kinds of hotels on property, from the luxurious Grand Floridian Resort and Spa to the outdoorsy Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds and the fun Art of Animation Resort.
Swan Reserve
Disney has added/announced some new hotels recently, with the newest being Disney’s Riviera Resort. At least, the Riviera was the newest as of yesterday…because today there’s a NEW hotel that’s open in Disney World!
Happy holidays everyone!
Disney’s Beach Club
Yes, we know, Halloween JUST ended, but Disney is releasing holiday treats all over the place! As if we weren’t excited enough by the holiday merchandise and decorations, we’ve been getting in the holiday spirit by trying festive treats at some Disney World resorts. Now, we’re headed to Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts where there is a treat for guests with dietary restrictions!
From the reopening of Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts and the return of (modified) character meet and greets, Disney World is continuing to return to normal.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
A special room category available at some Disney World Resort hotels, known as Club Level, has returned to a few Disney World Resort hotels, and now a few more have been added to the schedule! If you prefer to book a Club Level room at Disney World, you need to read on.
Although Halloween has come and gone, we’re still in a fall mood!
Christmas Treats Arrive in Magic Kingdom
Disney has already started to add holiday decorations to the park, but not everyone is quite ready to switch out pumpkin spice to peppermint just yet. Since the season began, we’ve been trying pumpkin treats all over Disney World including a pumpkin mousse, a pumpkin macaron ice cream sandwich, and a pumpkin donut and cold brew combo. Now Disney has released a pumpkin treat and we had to go check it out!
The holidays are coming up very soon in Disney World!
Holiday decorations at Magic Kingdom
Disney starts celebrating the holidays particularly early. In fact, there are already holiday decorations up in some areas of the parks! But, after Halloween, things really kick into high gear, with Christmas trees going up and, most importantly, special holiday FOOD being released! We recently found out about the food coming to Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Disney Springs, but we just now learned about ALL the food coming to the Disney World hotels!
You probably already know about EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, but did you know that there’s ANOTHER food and wine event in Disney World?

This hotel — called the Galactic Starcruiser — is basically a Star Wars lover’s dream come true. Guests can not only stay in the Star Wars-themed rooms, they can also dress up like their favorite characters, take part in an immersive storyline, dine on some strange-looking space food, and enjoy activities like lightsaber training or learning to steer the ship. Bookings aren’t open for most guests until October 28th, but starting today, some people can make reservations immediately.
The Swan Reserve is a new hotel that is opening soon on Disney World Property!
Swan Reserve
It is part of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Complex, which means it’s really close to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, as well as other hotels like Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. The Swan Reserve was supposed to open earlier this year, but after a series of delays, it’s now supposed to open this month. With it getting so close to being complete, we got to go INSIDE the new hotel and take a look around, so come with us as we tour the Swan Reserve!
