With a roster of nearly 30 hotels, there’s arguably a stay for every kind of traveler on Walt Disney World property. However, some of the resorts could use a bit of TLC.
Dalmatians section
Over my 30 years visiting Disney World, I’ve spent a significant amount of time at each of these properties, which run the gamut of Disney’s hotel tiers, from Value through Moderate, all the way to the Deluxe level.
If you’ve been dreaming of a Disney World getaway without wrecking your bank account, you’ll want to hear this.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Disney has just dropped an exclusive hotel deal for Florida and Georgia residents, and we’re talking rates as low as $129 a night. That’s right — you can stay on Disney property, get all the perks, and still have plenty of cash left for snacks, merch, and maybe a DOLE Whip (or three). We’ve got the full details on when, where, and how to lock this in so you can make the most of it before the clock runs out.
When it comes to dining in Disney World, Disney Springs is an amazing place to start!
Salt and Straw!
It’s Disney’s shopping and dining district with tons of spots for dining and entertainment, all without a park ticket. One of the best spots to grab a unique sweet treat at Disney Springs is Salt and Straw! Each experience at this spot surprises us, so we’re bringing you along with us to test out this month’s limited-time flavors.
When you’re in Disney World, there are a lot of problems that can happen that you may not expect. On the very top of that list is getting sick or injured, and both have happened to us in the parks before!
Magic Kingdom
It’s never fun — you want to have the best time on your vacation, but sickness and injury can come when you least expect them. Members of our team have had multiple occasions that we’ve been faced with less than ideal situations on vacation, and we’ve learned a lot from it (me personally, I’ve had a low blood sugar episode in the middle of the night, I’ve vowed to do everything in my power to never repeat). Recently, we experienced “Disney Rash” (yes, it’s a real thing), and it is NO joke.
International travel can be scary and intimidating, but we’re doing our best to ease those fears and help you travel with the utmost confidence!
UK Pavilion
We’re not gonna lie — the internet scared us big time about potential pickpocketing happening in Europe. However, we always try to face our fears head-on, so during a recent visit to Europe, one of our reporters tested out some anti-theft products, and we’re recommending our favorites! [Read more…]
Traveling to the Disney parks can be stressful, especially when you’re deciding what to wear!
I packed my favorite travel pants for Disneyland!
I’ve been there loads of times. When it’s hot, you want something that will keep you cool, but also be comfortable to wear, and something you won’t regret wearing halfway through the day. I know a lot of people out there prefer to wear pants over shorts, even during the summer, and I totally get that. If you’ve been looking for a new travel outfit essential that’s perfect for nearly any occasion, look no further than these pants I got on Amazon for just $26!
Flying can be wildly expensive (I was just looking at flights this week and felt my face drain of all color), so any chance you have to save some money, you’ll want to take advantage of it.
Frontier Plane at the Orlando Airport
If you’ve got lots of travel planned for this fall and winter and have a flexible schedule, there’s a new deal with this budget airline that you CANNOT miss! For just $299, you can fly all you want for SEVEN months with Frontier Airlines.
If you’ve wandered down the candy aisle at Walgreens in the past year, you might have noticed the rise of peelable gummies. They went viral last year in fun flavors like banana and mango — the kind of quirky, gimmicky candy you can imagine a kid peeling apart with sticky fingers before popping it in their mouth.
You know this went into my cart immediately.
Well, Walgreens has decided to keep the trend rolling… and maybe push it off a cliff.
Disney Springs is home to some pretty amazing merchandise locations.
UNIQLO
We have many favorites, but one of them is none other than UNIQLO, which is often home to some pretty epic and unique Disney finds. Personally, I love how affordable the store always is! For the first time ever, they’ve just teamed up with Pokémon to release a new collection fans won’t want to miss!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
