food IS a theme park
Disney World’s BRAND NEW walkway connecting the Grand Floridian and Magic Kingdom is bringing the Seven Seas Lagoon together like never before!
Seven Seas Lagoon
For the first time ever, visitors can now walk from the resort to Magic Kingdom via a shiny ’n’ new pathway, and in case you were wondering what the route looked like and how long it took, we’ve got answers!
Disney World’s resorts have been prepped and are ready for the holidays!
Grand Floridian Lobby
We hopped on Disney World’s monorail (and even took a walk) to check out what’s new at the Contemporary Resort, the Polynesian Village Resort, and the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!
If you’re a Disney World fan — there are a few dates in 2021 you need to know…

…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
Construction is continuing over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Beams at Polynesian
We previously noticed that the iconic beams had been removed from the Great Ceremonial House to make way for new designs on the roof. The façade of the hotel is getting a full-scale makeover, and we’re starting to see more of the new elements getting installed!
The holidays are in FULL swing at Walt Disney World, and it’s not just the theme parks that get all decked out in their festive best, the resorts get lots of love too!
Polynesian Christmas decorations
Because we love Disney decor, treats, and experiences ANYWHERE, we took a cruise around Disney World’s monorail loop to stop by the Contemporary Resort, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and the Polynesian Village Resort to see what’s new!
There’s nothing quite like Disney World during the holiday season!
Grand Floridian Christmas decorations
Disney decorates the parks and resorts to make us feel warm, cozy, holly, and jolly — all at the same time! So far this holiday season, we’ve seen decor pop up at a number of resorts — Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and several others. Now we can add two more resorts to the list because the halls are decked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort!
While all of Disney World’s reopened restaurants now feature similar health and safety measures, such as distanced tables, QR code menus, and increased sanitization, a few dining locations have really stood out to us as examples of the BEST of Disney World dining post-closures. Some may offer outdoor dining, while others may be rare character interaction opportunities, but in our minds, a few deserve a shout out.
Wine Bar George Bar Seating
If you have a trip to Disney World coming up and you’re looking for some table service ideas, we have ten restaurants that we think you should consider! Depending on your travel party’s preferences or level of comfort, each of these locations has at least one great thing going for them in a reopened World!
Recently, we’ve spotted some familiar faces back in Disney World.

It’s Duffy and Friends! We’re glad to have good ole’ Duffy back in Florida, and we’ve seen him and his friends on ornaments, keychains, Santa hats, and t-shirts. But now, you can sport your favorite group of pals with these Loungefly bags!
Good morning from Disney World’s Monorail resorts!
Polynesian Resort Sign
We recently took a stroll around the Polynesian, Contemporary, and Grand Floridian Resorts to see what’s new!
We’ve spent the last few days traveling all around Disney World trying the latest and greatest holiday snacks for 2020!
Twice Upon a Cupcake
While the parks and resorts are chock-full of cupcakes, churros, and cookies, we discovered ANOTHER way to get your fill of festive goodies and perhaps finish some holiday shopping at the same time!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
