If you’re ever at the Polynesian Resort, then you’ll know the most popular spot to grab a drink is Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. This tiki-themed bar serves some over-the-top drinks, some that even light on fire, so the waitlist can get looong!
Yum!
But did you know they have a bar counter outside if you can’t snag a table? Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace is located outside of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, with an outdoor seating area and water views. It used to be our favorite spot to grab a drink, but it just unexpectedly closed!
There comes a moment in every Disney fan’s life when the hotel decision stops being about giant icons, splash pads, and whether a pool is playing pop music at a volume normally reserved for aircraft carriers. It becomes about knees. Sleep. Transit. Price. Dignity. Maybe a decent cup of coffee before 7AM.
And honestly? Fair.
Beach Club Resort
Walt Disney World has more than 25 Disney Resort hotels in the Disney Resorts Collection, which means there are plenty of ways to do this vacation wrong for your particular stage of life. For a lot of Disney fans in their 50s, the resorts they refuse to book are not “bad” hotels. They are just the ones that trigger the most Gen X response possible: absolutely not.
Yes, we know that we’re still in the first half of 2026, but NOW is the time to start planning for that 2027 Disney World vacation, right?
Magic Kingdom
Well, the good news is that Disney just dropped vacation bookings for 2027, so you can start planning RIGHT NOW. That also means we have details on what trips will look like next year, as well as how much they’ll cost. As you may know, prices are dependent on the date you visit the park, so we’ve done the research to tell you which days are the cheapest.
There’s a NEW ride coming soon to Hollywood Studios!
Rock ‘n Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith closed earlier this year to make way for the new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. This version of the ride is going to feature some fan-favorite characters and a bangin’ soundtrack, but now we know we may get to ride it EARLY!
If you’re a Disney Adult, like me, you have been to the Disney parks a bunch, but did you know you could be breaking this rule at Magic Kingdom?
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
We need to have a talk, Disney Adults. Some of ya’ll aren’t following the rules, and it shows. We are in the parks every day, and we are seeing this a LOT at Magic Kingdom. Do you need to change your habits, or are you following all the rules? Let’s break down what the rules are below!
The all-new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens SOON (on May 26th!), and we are waiting on the edges of our seats to experience this rethemed ride.

Are you already planning a Disney World trip for 2027 and are wondering if you should stay on Disney World property? We totally understand what a big decision that can be!
Wilderness Lodge Hotel
Staying at a hotel on Disney World property can be so incredibly magical and can sometimes make your trip easier. You’ve got free transportation to and from your hotel and the parks and Disney Springs, you’re surrounded by Disney magic constantly throughout your trip, and many guests feel that, by staying on property, they fully step away from the stress of the world for a few days. However, it’s EXPENSIVE, even if you’re staying at one of the Value Resorts, and you may be weighing whether the perks of staying on property are worth the cost. To help you decide, here’s a rundown of ALL the hotel perks we know you can get in 2027!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
