Disney World is constantly changing and evolving to keep up with the times.
Even the resorts are getting updated!
Whether that’s updating old rides and attractions or adding new technology to the parks, we’ve seen a lot of changes made in recent years.

Today, we’re sharing a look at some of the BIG ways that Disney World is changing your hotel experience!

We LOVE this display!
We’ve already shared a full look at the Festival merchandise, a peek at some special scavenger hunts you can do while there, and FULL reviews of every food booth.

Disney World can be pretty inspiring!

Super popular items tend to sell out quickly in Disney World.
No Lightsabers
That’s why we were a bit shocked to see that the ridiculously popular Figment popcorn bucket didn’t sell out right away at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts! There were lines wrapped through the park, hours long waits for multiple days, and even people selling the bucket online to the highest bidder. But, we think Figment’s time may have finally come to an end.
