food IS a theme park
You said you were looking for a side of island vibes along with your drink, right?
Gurgling Suitcase
The Gurgling Suitcase in Disney’s Old Key West Resort is a Key West-style bar, and right now, we’re taking you with us to check it out!
UPDATED November 10, 2025
Okay, can we tell you how EXCITED we are about 2025 in Disney World? So much new stuff is coming throughout the year and we have been — and will continue to be — thrilled to welcome all of it.
Magic Kingdom
Of course, we’ve got the traditional things we always look forward to like all the EPCOT Festivals (yes, EPCOT Festival of the Arts is a fave). We also love that time around Easter when we get to see the cool Easter Egg displays at the hotels. Then there’s Halloween and the holiday season — SO much to look forward to. However, there are some MAJOR changes happening around Disney World throughout 2025 that we’re also stoked about, so let’s chat about them!
It’s TIIIIIME!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House
We’ve waited a whole year to see Disney World’s transformation for the holidays, and it’s finally starting to get real. While Magic Kingdom’s been busy decking the halls with wreaths, garlands, and Christmas decor we’ve had our eye out for a few other grand spectacles we’ve come to know and love. And now it seems that keeping an ever-so-close eye on some construction nearby has finally paid off for us in a sweet way! [Read more…]
Some big hotel changes are coming to Disney World!
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts
We’re constantly seeing Disney Resorts get renovations, whether on rooms, the lobby, or restaurants. And recently, a BIG update was announced for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. The 3-hotel complex will be getting new convention center space, technological updates, and some renovated rooms!
We’ve finally made it, friends!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival started in late August and will continue through November 23rd, but did you know there’s another Food and Wine event in Disney World? Over at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts on Disney World property, you can find the Food & Wine Classic. This is a 2-day event, and we got a sneak peek before it starts!
UPDATED December 8, 2025
2025 is nearly over, but there are STILL a lot of events and happenings taking place to round out the year at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Magic Kingdom
On top of the usual events and opportunities Disney World offers throughout the year, 2025 is bringing loads of construction and new attractions to the parks (or at least, laying the groundwork for them). If you’re taking a trip this year, make sure you’ve got these dates locked into your head to assist with your planning!
Magical, luxurious… creepy?
Eek
There are many words one can use to describe Disney World’s hotels. The near-30 resorts that dot the resort’s property have themes ranging from a Polynesian resort to bygone New Orleans to a turn-of-the-19th-century Florida beach resort. However, some of them have an… unintentional theme of being downright creepy thanks to some head-scratching additions.
The holidays are coming to Disneyland!
Haunted Mansion at Disneyland
From November 15th, 2024, through January 6th, 2025, you’ll be able to grab some yummy holiday snacks around the Disneyland Resort. Both theme parks, Downtown Disney, and the hotels will have LOTS to try. Let’s check out what’s coming soon!
I’m gonna cut right to the chase. There’s a big blue curtain at the Contemporary Resort in Disney World, and we’re dying to see what’s hiding back there. Just look at that thing! It looks like it belongs on the set of Let’s Make a Deal. What’s behind curtain number one?! WE MUST KNOW!
The Big Blue Curtain in question
Don’t worry. We’re not completely clueless. We know that the Contemporary Resort is preparing to unveil its annual holiday gingerbread display, and those Disney bakers are hard at work behind the scenes. But this year’s display is extra special. Why? Four words: Cinderella Castle Dream Lights. Let’s talk about it.
Are you making the most of Disney World’s hotels?
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Ever since the Polynesian Village and Contemporary resorts opened along with Disney World in October of 1971, hotels have been an integral part of the resort experience. Over the last 50+ years, nearly 30 resorts have opened across the property, while several more have been left unbuilt. However, many guests aren’t taking advantage of everything Disney World has to offer.
