food IS a theme park
Over the past several months, various Disney World hotels have reopened.
All-Star Music Resort
Most recently, we’ve seen Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort reopened, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is set to reopen soon. Another hotel that is set to join the “reopened” group soon is Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. But, recently something strange happened to our upcoming reservation at this spot.
Although Disney World’s deluxe and moderate resorts generally get better reviews from guests, its value resorts aren’t anything to scoff at either. The whole point is value, and let’s face it — some of these resorts have the most fun theming on property.
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
From the All-Star Resorts to the fun decades theme of Disney’s Pop Century Resort to all the cool animation decor at Art of Animation, Disney World’s value resorts have a little something for everyone. But how do YOU, our DFB readers, rate the value resorts? Well, we asked you and you delivered! Here’s what you had to say:

What a year, right? And there are STILL things at Disney World that haven’t reopened yet, including restaurants AND hotels. But that’s changing, too. Many of our favorite snack spots have reopened, along with many of our favorite restaurants, and we now have official reopening dates for the rest of Disney World’s hotels!
Did you know that all of the Disney World Resort hotels will have reopened by the end of this year?
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Yep, with favorites like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge reopening soon, there were only a few hotels that still didn’t have reopening dates — until yesterday, that is! Disney announced the reopening dates for Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, and Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort.
There have been a LOT of reopenings in Disney World recently.
All-Star Music
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort just reopened as did the beloved Casey’s Corner restaurant in Magic Kingdom. We’re looking forward to more reopenings like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and now we’ve got MORE resort reopening news!
We’re not going to lie — we are OBSESSED with Minnie Ears ’round these parts.
So many ears…
And Disney knows we’re not the only ones — because why else would they release SO MANY? And ears come in so many different varieties that it’s easy to find a pair to represent everything we love about Disney! But did you know you could also match your ears to your Disney World resort?
Guess what guys? It’s May!
Just another beautiful day in Disney!
