food IS a theme park
Disney World value resorts are still some of the most popular places to stay on property.

They’re affordable by Disney standards, they keep you inside the Disney bubble, and they work especially well for families who plan to spend most of their time in the parks. That said, prices have gone up, expectations have changed, and some longtime perks never came back. Here are four things we think Disney World’s cheapest hotels desperately need moving forward.
Disney hotel prices are no joke — but this one might just be the best bang for your buck.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort is one of the three All-Star Resorts on property, and it’s officially the least expensive hotel you can book at Disney World. But don’t let the price fool you — this place is packed with oversized theming, family-friendly fun, and plenty of Disney touches. We took a full lap around the property to check out the rooms, food, pools, and everything in between — here’s what you need to know before booking.
We love a Disney World hotel!
Grand Floridian Resort
When it comes to planning your ultimate trip to Disney World, your resort can make a huge difference! There have been lots of updates and changes like the opening of Island Tower, hotel room improvements, and new dining options. All of the changes have been great but we are still waiting for Disney Resorts to slash this one rule!
We’ve got great news for guests staying at Disney World’s All-Star Movies Resort soon!
World Premiere Food Court
Many of the Value Resorts around Disney World have been undergoing refurbishments over the past few months, specifically the All-Star Resorts. The World Premiere Food Court at All-Star Movies Resort began its refurbishment back in July, and it FINALLY just completed the final stage of its revamp!
We get the appeal of Disney World’s value hotels, and it’s not just about the fact that these are the cheapest hotels on Disney World property.
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
For example, two value hotels actually have a Skyliner station, making transportation a lot more convenient. We also love the over-the-top theming at the value hotels — and we would argue that we sometimes think Disney World’s deluxe hotels are boring because they don’t have that theming. However, let’s talk about food. There’s a rule we need to tell you about when it comes to eating at Disney World’s value hotels.
It’s no secret: here at DFB, we love cheese.
End Zone Food Court
Whether it’s the plastic variety to go with our Corn Dog Nuggets or a fancy Artisinal Cheese Board at Wine Bar George — we don’t discriminate! One of our favorite ways to eat the golden goodness is smothered in pasta. Macaroni and cheese abounds in Disney World, and we’re taking a look at two varieties that are topped with barbecued meats in this week’s THROWDOWN.
We’ve got some 🕺groovy🕺 news for those of you planning to stay at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort! From interesting new patents to INCREDIBLE human-like robots, Disney is constantly trying to incorporate new technology into the parks and resorts.
Let’s rock ‘n’ roll!
While some of this new tech is still a work in progress, other features are already changing the way guests visit Disney World! If you happen to visit Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, you can see some of this newer technology for yourself.
We’re ringing in the New Year with all kinds of new MagicBands!
Maestro Mickey’s
First, we spotted the Passholder-exclusive Minnie MagicBand over in Hollywood Studios, and now we’ve got a few new MagicBand options over at Maestro Mickey’s at the All-Star Music Resort that are simply Pixar-ific!
Ah, Dole Whip…the sweet pineapple-y sensation of Disney parks. We just can’t get enough!
Mickey and Minnie Ice Cream Cups
And, luckily, Dole Whip can be found just about everywhere in Disney World these days. Find it at resorts and parks in float form, spiked, and even with specialty flavors!
And now, if you’re staying at the All-Star Resorts in Disney World, there’s an even EASIER way to get that tasty tropical fix.
World Premiere Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Movies has a new vegan dessert option!
World Premiere Food Court
The Disney parks have really focused on expanding their plant-based options so it has come with little surprise that we’ve seen new vegan options pop-up everywhere from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to the All-Star Resorts. Especially after Disney announced that they would be introducing new plant-based options around Walt Disney World. And today, we spotted a new vegan cookie dough option and we can’t wait to let you know what we think!
