We often find that many of Disney World’s hotel pool bars can be underrated. They’re also not the first place you think of when you plan to dine at a Disney World hotel, but just like everywhere else in Disney World, they’re not all made equally.
Time for some new menu items!
Recently, we stopped by Saratoga Springs Resort to check out the two new offerings at Paddock Grill. There’s a new drink and a new breakfast wrap that could make it a fantastic early morning stop before heading into the parks, or to fuel yourself for a pool day. Is it worth it, though? That’s what we set out to discover!
Summer has hit Disney World, and we’ve been trying to beat the heat with some cool treats and cool drinks. Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is well underway, and before you know it, it will be Halloween.

Disney also recently dropped a full list of treats coming to the resort for America’s 250th birthday party, but while we’re waiting to try all those, we’ll also be checking out Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed. So let’s take a look at Disney World restaurant menus for this week.
Father’s Day is right around the corner! And if you’re planning to celebrate in Disney World, we just found out some exciting dining news that you’ll want to hear about.
Magic Kingdom
Several restaurants in the Disney World resort area are offering some fun Father’s Day specials, so let’s get into all of them and see where you might need to visit to celebrate next week. [Read more…]
Well, we’re back at Chef Mickey’s again…yeah, yeah, yeah, we always say we may not return, but we pretty much have to because there have been a few times when this character dining experience has surprised us. Plus, the one thing Chef Mickey’s has ALWAYS had going for it is the characters.
We’re back at Chef Mickey’s!
So, we’re back, this time for dinner, and we’re not sure what happened…maybe it was because our expectations were relatively low, but Chef Mickey’s has surprised us…again…and this time, in a good way (or pretty good, if we’re being specific). So let’s talk about it.
There’s been so much happening in Disney World recently that sometimes it’s felt a little hard to catch our breath.
A trash can change happened this week!
We love hearing about all the new projects and exciting attractions coming to Disney World, don’t get us wrong, but for the past few weeks, it felt like everything hit at once. Now, though, some of the biggest attractions have opened — The Walt Disney Studios and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Jessie’s Roundup in Magic Kingdom, Bluey’s Wild World in Disney’s Animal Kingdom — the list goes on. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t still smaller changes happening around the parks each day, and there are ABSOLUTELY still closures you need to know about if you’re heading into the parks this week.
If you’re planning a trip in the U.S. this summer, you may have noticed that the price of your hotel room is going UP.
Marriott Room
Across markets, large and small, from major hotel chains to independent boutique accommodations, these increases can be traced to larger societal and economic factors.
Checking into a Disney World hotel should feel like the opening scene of a vacation montage. You stroll into the lobby, someone is smiling, the air smells vaguely expensive, and suddenly your travel-day airport sweatshirt feels like resort wear.

But here’s the less sparkly truth: check-in and checkout can also become the exact place where your vacation gets weirdly complicated. Not “lost luggage in another state” complicated. More like “why is my room not ready, why is my phone dying, and why are we all changing into swimsuits in a lobby bathroom?” complicated. So before you roll your suitcase through the doors of your Disney World hotel in 2026, here are the mistakes you want to avoid.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, there are so many incredible options. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you want to know which restaurants are worth the price.
Grand Floridian Resort
We recently stopped by Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to have a fancy meal, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. So let’s see if this fine-dining restaurant is worth a visit on your next Disney World vacation!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
