food IS a theme park
It’s no secret how fast Disney World’s tickets, park pass reservations, and hotel rooms can sell out.
Animal Kingdom
Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party sold out weeks ago, and Jollywood Nights are following a similar path. Hotel accommodations on property also often fill up before popular times of the year come around, making last-minute solutions hard to find. If you’re heading to Disney World in 2024, these are the dates you need to book hotel reservations for right now!
Disney just announced a new promotional offer that could save guests money on food in Disney World — and who doesn’t love to save money in Disney World?
Let’s talk about the Dining Promo Package!
This promotion allows guests to book a vacation package where they’ll receive a free gift card that can only exclusively be used in Disney World restaurants. It’s not exactly the return of the Disney Dining Plan, but it’s about the closest thing we’ve seen since the dining plan was put on hold in 2020. But is it something you should consider for your Disney World trip?
Disney is offering a new(ish) promotion that might help you save on dining during your next trip! (Sorry, it’s not the Disney Dining Plan.)
Connections Eatery food
We’ve seen the Dining Promo Card before in various forms, and now it’s returning in a new way in 2023. This promotion is essentially a gift card that you can only use at select Disney World restaurants. If you’re staying at a Disney hotel, you might be eligible to receive one! [Read more…]
As Tropical Storm Ian continues on its path through Florida, Disney World is making preparations to reopen the parks once the weather calms down.
Dark Clouds over Disney World
Disney has announced that the parks and Disney Springs will reopen this week in a phased way, and most hotels in Disney World will be accepting new check-ins starting at 3PM on Friday, September 30th. However, it’s possible that Disney is still limiting new reservations for its hotels. [Read more…]
Disney has a lot of hotels, so you would think that rooms would almost always be available, right? WRONG.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney hotels get booked up, and you might have your heart set on staying at a certain Disney resort, only to find out that it’s not available during your vacation time. But, don’t worry – we’re here to tell you what to do if you can’t get the Disney World hotel reservation you wanted!
Disney World just shared that their new Park Pass Reservation System will open to guests with existing reservations on June 22nd.
Magic Kingdom
The Park Pass System will help manage park attendance for the foreseeable future as the Disney parks reopen with limited capacity caps in place (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11th, and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th). All guests will need a Park Pass reservation on top of their valid park entry to enter any Disney World theme park.
Let’s take a look at how this new system will work. Check out ALL the details and a TUTORIAL below!
It’s been a busy news day for Disney World!

While Disney Vacation Club (DVC) properties at Walt Disney World and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground are scheduled to reopen on June 22nd, Disney has not yet announced when the other hotels on property will reopen.
With the reopening of Disney World parks set for July 11th, a lot of folks with June reservations have been left in limbo.
Polynesian Resort Lobby
Shortly after the official announcement of a reopening date, Disney’s hotel reservations and ticket sales systems went dark so Disney could begin to implement their new reservation system. That meant no new reservations and no modifications to existing reservations. For many folks who just wanted to reschedule their June reservations, that was frustrating. Well, now Disney is allowing guests with check-in dates prior to June 21st to call and modify their reservations.
