food IS a theme park
Happy Halloween, DFB Friends!
Contemporary Resort
Yes, it’s August, but the Halloween decorations have arrived in Magic Kingdom, the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has happened, and Halloween snacks have hit the parks! So that officially makes it spooky season, right? While we’ve been busy enjoying all the Halloween festivities, we’ve also popped into the Disney World hotels to see what’s new!
It’s been an exciting week, y’all!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Not only are we covering EVERYTHING on the Disney Wish, but we’re also on the ground at Disney World, checking out new food, new merchandise, and all the 4th of July things! We’ve also been to the Disney World hotels, to see what’s new, so let’s get on with some updates!
So who’s celebrating 626 Day? In case you don’t know about 626 day, it’s the day we celebrate Experiment 626, aka Stitch — June 26th!
Happy 626 Day, Stitch!
Okay, we don’t really need a reason to celebrate Stitch because he’s lovable year-round! We’re celebrating by reflecting on the wild history of Stitch in Disney World, checking out a new Harveys Stitch collection, and eating some Stitch-inspired snacks (yes, that means MORE BLUE FOOD, y’all). So we’re picking up a Stitch snack that got an upgrade from last year!
Staying in a Disney World hotel means you’re getting so much more than a place to sleep.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
You’re getting fun Disney-themed activities (including many you might not even know about), Disney food (which you KNOW we love), Disney theming, Disney shopping, and more! So what’s been going on with Disney World hotels recently? Let’s find out!
Disney World hotels can be like theme parks in and of themselves.
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
From their elaborate theming to their great restaurants to fun activities, there’s just so much to do! This is why we always recommend having a resort day to make sure you’re getting EVERYTHING out of your Disney World hotel because, hey, you’re paying for that, too! There’s always something new, too, which is why we’re here — to keep you updated on what’s new.
Lots of things are changing in Disney World these days!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We’re watching construction progress in Magic Kingdom on the TRON coaster, in EPCOT for the park transformation, and at multiple Disney World hotels for updates coming soon. And today, we’ve got a BIG construction update from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Okay, so although the new Star Wars hotel at Disney World, the Galactic Starcruiser, is an incredibly immersive and fun experience, we admit we had to pick our jaws up from the ground when we heard about the pricing.
Dinner and a show aboard the Galactic Starcruiser
So we’re looking at the price for 2 guests per cabin on the Galactic Starcruiser. That price is a whopping $4,809 for the whole voyage — which is just two nights.
It’s getting into the summer months of 2022, which means a LOT of people are gearing up for their Disney World vacations! If you’re among the crowds who will be flocking to the parks this summer, we’re here to help you out with all kinds of packing hacks, planning tips, and updates on the latest news.
Where magic becomes real
Before you go, be sure you know what’s NOT going to be open in the theme parks. That way, you can avoid the disappointment of looking forward to an attraction or perk and then realizing once you arrive that it’s not available. To help you out, we’ve got a full list of closures you’ll see in Disney World this June in the parks and hotels! [Read more…]
Wow! What a month, y’all!
Oven-Roasted Shrimp Scampi
SO much happened in May: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has officially opened in EPCOT. We had a ton of announcements come in from Star Wars Celebration. While all that was going on, we also kept an eye on every menu at Disney World restaurants so we could keep you updated on any changes.
What a week, right?
Which would you pick?
We’ve been gearing up for Star Wars Celebration, sharing all the big news and announcements, but don’t think we’ve forgotten about food because, well, FOOD IS our middle name (literally). So let’s grab a churro and take a look at Disney World restaurant menus and see what kind of updates we’ve seen this week.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
