This Disney World Hotel Perk Is About To Get a SERIOUS Downgrade in 2027

By Leave a Comment

If you choose to stay at a Disney World hotel during your trip, you can get a lot of SWEET perks that could make your trip even that much better. For example, you can get into theme parks a half hour before everyone else (and some hotel guests can even get to stay in parks for a few hours after they close). You can even get a free water park ticket for your arrival day if you’re visiting during the summer.

Kids’ Meal

Now, many of these perks are returning in 2027, but one perk has changed…a LOT. In 2026, if you purchase a Disney Dining Plan, your kids can eat 100% free. Well, in 2027, that’s changing, and it’s a serious downgrade.

Is Disney World Finally Fixing Its Worst Hotel Restaurant?!

By 2 Comments

Disney World spends a lot of time working on its restaurant menus, changing them often, trying new things, occasionally getting rid of things they shouldn’t (Columbia Harbour House, we’re looking at you), and then changing things back again (and, yes, we’re still talking about hush puppies).

Turf Club eats

Well, sometimes, Disney World just decides to close a restaurant completely to give it a bit of a makeover. Now we’ve seen a LOT of huge restaurant makeovers over the past few years, from Citricos reopening with a brand new look and menu in 2021 to the recent reopening of the Garden View Lounge, which also got a new look and menu. Well, now one of our least favorite hotel restaurants has closed, and we’re wondering…will Disney fix what we think is wrong with it?
