There’s a NEW lounge at Disney World, but you have to be a member to get in!
McKim’s Mile House is the new DVC lounge in Magic Kingdom!
That’s right — only Disney Vacation Club members can use this relaxing spot, and trust us, if you’re a member you’re going to want to stop by!
You could save BIG on one of the priciest experiences in Disney World now — but there’s a catch!
VIP Tours
With so much to do around all of Disney World’s parks, it might feel impossible to do everything you want to do, see, and experience it all in one day. If you’re all about minimizing your time waiting in lines and doing as much as possible, either as quickly or as conveniently as you want, you may have considered purchasing Disney World’s Lightning Lane options for your next trip. But, if you’re really looking for an experience that treats you like Disney royalty, there’s a special experience called a VIP Tour. Now, you may have felt a little sticker shock once you discovered the price of a VIP Tour, but there’s a new discount that could help.
If you have a Disney Visa card, you probably know about some of the benefits that card membership holds for you.

For example, that Disney Visa can earn you rewards that you can use to help pay for your Disney vacation. You can also get discounts on merchandise, special photo spots with character meet and greets in the parks, and certain limited-time offerings. However, did you know your Disney Visa could also get you a discount on a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) membership? Well, it can!

There is A LOT of construction going on at Disney World. Construction walls are up by Astro Orbiter, a portion of DinoLand is now closed as work begins on Pueblo Esperanza, and Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy is closed and blocked off as Disney prepares to debut Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.
Astro Orbiter Construction Walls
And that is only the tip of the iceberg! There is even more construction going on at the parks, as well as numerous hotels at Disney World. You will even spot construction going on for a brand-new Disney World hotel.
There is always something changing in Disney World. Whether it be the closure of attractions such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or the opening of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, it is never a dull day at Disney World.

Disney giveth and Disney taketh away. And sometimes, Disney giveth again.
The newly announced Lakeshore Lodge ©Disney
Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is the newest hotel being built near Magic Kingdom, and it’s been a long time coming. Originally, Disney announced a hotel called Reflections: A Lakeside Lodge for this space — and then never talked about it again. But, Lakeshore Lodge is the new hotness that will be opening at Disney World in 2027 and we’ve got a new aerial look at the progress!
Aloha! The Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows has officially opened!
Island Tower
Disney World’s newest resort is a new Disney Vacation Club addition next to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Previously, it was home to the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, which closed in March of 2020. This new hotel is home to stunning views of Seven Seas Lagoon, has a Moana-themed splash pad, and a brand new restaurant! While all of this is super exciting, unfortunately, this new hotel is not all that it seems, as we have some bad news about the Island Tower.
