food IS a theme park
Disney Vacation Club members, get ready to blast off to Disneyland!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We first told you about a brand new DVC lounge coming to Disneyland last year, but now we FINALLY have an official opening date! [Read more…]
Are you a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member? Do you like going on cruises?
The Disney Wish!
Well, as you know, Disney Cruise Line does offer occasional perks (usually in the form of discounts) for DVC members. However, DVC members now have even MORE of a reason to go on a cruise. That’s because they can now choose a cruise that is ONLY for them!
After Hours events are a great way to spend time in the Disney World parks. You get to experience Disney World with much lower crowds, shorter lines, and cooler temperatures!
Moonlight Magic is on its way!
Sometimes guests are treated to special additions, like complimentary drinks and snacks and special character interactions. Moonlight Magic nights are unique After Hours events for Disney Vacation Club Members, and if you’re a DVC Member who has been looking forward to these upcoming dates, make sure you have your calendars ready for registration!
When it comes to deciding where to stay on your Disneyland trip, there are plenty of options!

You could stay at the Pixar Place Hotel (formerly known as the Paradise Pier Hotel) if you want a touch of Pixar in your hotel. The Grand Californian gives you direct access to Disney California Adventure if you want to be really close to the action. Then there’s the Disneyland Hotel which is one of the most iconic Disney hotels — and we’ve got some news about a new addition to this classic resort!
With the prices at Disney World always on the rise, one area where many guests are looking to cut back is on accommodations.
Pop Century Resort
A hotel stay is a big vacation expense, no matter whether you choose to stay in a Disney-owned hotel, or another hotel nearby. If your heart is set on staying at a Disney resort you might be interested to learn which ones are easier on the wallet! Plus, if you’re open to staying in a non-Disney hotel you can often save even more.
Disney World isn’t the only Disney resort getting a ton of changes and upgrades.
Disneyland Hotel construction
Disneyland is also seeing a LOT of new things happening, including a re-imagined ToonTown in Disneyland Park, new restaurants at Downtown Disney, and new villas at The Disneyland Hotel, known as The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. Now, we’ve now got a NEW update about that property — it will be opening SOON.
It can sometimes feel like price increases are hitting Disney World left and right.
Vacation Club Villa
We’ve seen increases impact park tickets, park hopper options, and snacks within the last few months. But now a price increase has been revealed for something else.
Resort hopping is one of our favorite things to do at Disney, and splurging at the resort shops, eating at the themed restaurants, and simply looking at all the resort decor makes a good day even better!
Resort hopping is so much fun!
Sometimes, some really great merchandise and snack options are hiding in the resort shops rather than in the parks. We went to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and then later took the Skyliner to some other resorts on property, and we found some great items including several exclusive things for DVC members! Plus, we even got to see some construction!
It’s a good time to be a Disney fan, because there are discounts GALORE.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
If you’re traveling to Disney World this summer, you’ll find everything from room discounts to dining card promos to ticket offers available. But if you’re in the Disney fandom for the long haul, we’ve got an even bigger offer that you might be interested in!
Being a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Member definitely has its perks. Besides getting access to exclusive accommodations both in the parks and on cruise ships, members can also get early access to new rides!
Moonlight Magic has been paused for a LONG time!
One benefit that many members love is the Moonlight Magic events. These are after-hours events held specially for DVC members, and after a hiatus, they finally returned last year. At Moonlight Magic you can enjoy attractions with shorter wait times, meet your favorite characters, sample tasty treats, and more. Now, we have the 2023 dates for Moonlight Magic events in Disney World and Disneyland!
