food IS a theme park
We just spent a lovely day traveling around Disney World’s Magic Kingdom resorts!
Grand Floridian
And we’ve got a ton of updates, so grab a cup of coffee or tea, curl up in your favorite chair, and let’s get started!
Disney has been doing some spring cleaning in their closet and updating TONS of Disney Cast Member costumes around Walt Disney World!
Uzima Springs Pool Bar
Recently, we spotted new costumes at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, Disney’s Old Key West, and at the Boardwalk Bakery. PHEW! That’s a lot to keep track of! Are you picking up a theme here? Well, Disney is still keeping us on our toes and we found ANOTHER updated Cast Member look at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Although free MagicBands have been discontinued, there’s still a way to get them at a special price!
MagicBands
Resort guests have the opportunity to choose from a selection of $5 MagicBands — and there’s always the option to just reuse your old one. But if you want to purchase a more themed MagicBand, both resort guests and Annual Passholders can grab some at a discount!
We’ve been hanging around Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort a lot lately.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Between refurbishment going on at the monorail station, in the resort, and at the pool area, there’s been plenty to watch! And when we stopped by Barefoot Pool Bar to check out the new costumes, a Cast Member was kind enough to whip us up an off-the-menu drink.
ALOHA, and welcome back to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We were just here recently checking out some of the new cast member costumes that made their Moana-inspired debut at Capt. Cook’s and Pineapple Lanai.
Capt. Cooks
(This is a trend, by the way — you can click here to see LOTS of new cast member costumes that have been popping up pretty much EVERYWHERE!) And today when we stopped by for a relaxing drink at the Barefoot Pool Bar, we noticed another new costume for cast members at the Resort. [Read more…]
Planning on going on a Disney Cruise that departs from or arrives back at Port Canaveral in Florida?
Disney Cruise Line
Previously, a lot of guests would just hop directly on a Disney bus to get from their hotel or Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral and then start their Disney cruise adventure. With the announcement that Disney’s Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, you might be wondering if you’ll still be able to take Disney transportation to and from the airport and Port Canaveral, or between your Disney hotel and Port Canaveral. And now we’ve got an update.
There are LOTS of places you could stay at during your Walt Disney World vacation.
Swan Reserve
Do you choose a Disney hotel? A non-Disney hotel that is on property? A Disney Springs hotel? Or something else? Yesterday, we shared the news about a new hotel that’s opening up in the nearby Flamingo Crossings Town Center. But, today we’ve got an update about a new hotel that will soon be opening just a quick walk away from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios — The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve!
A MAJOR Disney transportation option is currently unavailable.
Grand Floridian Monorail Station
While at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Monorail Station today to head on over to Magic Kingdom, we were evacuated from the platform as BOTH monorail lines went down. Here’s what we know.
We found a princess-inspired snack in Disney World today!
Grand Floridian
Disney resorts often have incredible — and overlooked — eats. We’ve recently loved a seasonal cocktail from Disney’s Riviera Resort, some chips at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Super Bowl cupcakes at BoardWalk Bakery. And today, we spotted some pastry puffs at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort that we just have to tell you about!
We’ve been taking you on a different kind of Walt Disney World Resort hotel tour recently… .
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
Unlike our recent photo and video tour all around Disney’s Pop Century Resort, we’ve been going on a little fashion tour, as Cast Member costumes have been receiving makeovers at several Resort hotels! ICYMI, we thought we’d bring you a roundup of all the latest looks to see the fun Disney designs popping up all over! [Read more…]
