For the last eight years, my Disney World hotel routine has been pretty set in stone. Book Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, walk into that towering lobby, and feel instantly at home, but a recent change has me rethinking my plan.
Pop Century
When I headed down to Disney World for the runDisney Wine & Dine weekend with a friend, I did something I hadn’t done in a long time. I booked a Value resort: Disney’s Pop Century Resort. I’ll be honest, I went in with pretty low expectations. I walked out with a new appreciation for Value resorts after a few things surprised me.

Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights only wrapped up a few days ago, and we haven’t even fully put away our outfits when Universal announced something for the 2027 season.
Halloween Horror Nights
The 2027 dates have already been announced, so get ready for scary, and it’s time to start guessing which houses will be the absolute scariest.
One of the most magical parts about a Disney World vacation is the hotel you stay in — they’re themed to some of your favorite characters, some are just steps away from a theme park, and one even has animals outside of your room!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Savanna
With three tiers of hotels — Value, Moderate, and Deluxe — some are more expensive than others, and those Deluxe hotels are often dream resorts, as they can often be thousands of dollars per night! Well, I come with good news: One of the most bucket-list-worthy hotels is under $425 for one week in 2027! This is your sign to book your dream hotel while it’s cheap!

Earlier this year, Disney shut down the Play Disney Parks app with little warning, and we didn’t know what was coming next. While this wasn’t the main My Disney Experience app that we rely on in the parks for booking reservations, Lightning Lanes, and checking wait times, the Play Disney Parks app let you interact with Disney a little differently.
