food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing all the time and that likely isn’t stopping anytime soon.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
They’ve teased potential expansion plans for NEW themed areas “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain” in Magic Kingdom and discussed a DinoLand U.S.A. re-theme in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And, while these may just be ideas for now, we’ve got a few signs that other changes could be happening a bit sooner.
Back in 2023, Disney announced that the Cabins at Fort Wilderness would be getting a makeover!
Fort Wilderness
Imagineers are redesigning these spaces to become the Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort. So far we’ve had a look at the concept art for the new cabins, and we learned just when they would open. If you’re a Disney Vacation Club member looking to make the Cabins at Fort Wilderness your home resort, we have excellent news to share!
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World, but that’s all part of Walt’s original vision for the parks.
Twixt Bundt Cake
This week alone, we saw the closing of a classic Disney attraction as it gets updated to reopen later this year. We got a clue that a popular character dining experience might soon return. We learned that beignets would soon be on the menu at Magic Kingdom. Disney World restaurants also saw some changes, so let’s take a look at how those menus were updated this week.
Okay, let’s be real. It can be AWKWARD to share a hotel room with other people.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Room
Whether you’re cramped into a small space with people you share a house/apartment with, or you’re staying with friends who live apart from you, nobody gets very much privacy in a Disney World hotel room. And you know what really doesn’t help? The bathroom situation. Usually, they’re right off the main room and the doors aren’t exactly soundproof. But if you’ve got that hotel bathroom anxiety…Disney has come up with a solution!
When you’re deciding where to stay for your Disney World vacation, you may decide to splurge on a moderate or deluxe hotel room.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Some of these rooms are expensive, but some of them are just RIDICULOUSLY expensive. It may make you wonder, why the heck would anyone pay that much for a hotel room? But, surprisingly there are some reasons why those wildly expensive rooms do get booked time and time again.

If you use your Disney Vacation Club points, rent some points, or pay out of pocket, you can stay at one of the many DVC locations at Disney World. You can rent rooms at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney’s Beach Club, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and so many others. One DVC rental has been getting a major overhaul and is set to open this summer, and now we were able to get a NEW look at some concept art!
Is it just us or is January the longest month of the year? Okay, so we probably feel like that because so much has happened in Disney World this month.

In food news, we’re still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of the Disney Dining Plan now that it’s returned. We’re also on the lookout for all the upcoming Valentine’s Day treats. Plus it’s only the second week of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But Disney World restaurants are continuing to change, so let’s take a look at what those changes were for the past week.
Some things are changing in Disney World in 2024.
Fort Wilderness cabin
First, we’re getting ANOTHER brand new ride with Tiana’s Bayou Attraction. But a lot of changes are happening at Disney World hotels, too. We’re talking new rooms, new restaurants, and more. Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, though, is getting some brand new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins, but we’ve got a word of warning before you get TOO excited about those.
Disney Vacation Club Properties have been getting a lot of attention lately!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort
Newly remodeled rooms have hit Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Villas, Disney’s Beach Club Resort rooms have gotten a new look, and an entire new DVC building at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is going up as we speak. Earlier this year, Disney announced that the Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness would be getting a makeover, and we recently shared a look at some of the concept art for the project. Now, we have a new look at what we might expect when these cabins are complete. [Read more…]
It’s no secret that things are about to change a lot in Disney World in 2024.
EPCOT
We know that certain attractions are getting makeovers this coming year, and we have to admit that we’re nervous about some of them. However, there are tons of new additions we CANNOT WAIT to see, and we thought we’d do a quick recap to refresh your mind!
