food IS a theme park
There is nothing more magical than starting your day with a Mickey waffle!
Mickey waffle!
While Mickey waffles are an iconic Disney World staple and a popular way to start the day, they’re not sold everywhere on property, and to make it even more challenging, they’re only sold during specific times of the day. So, where can you get these delicious golden breakfast staples? Well, we are happy you asked! We compiled a guide to EVERY PLACE where you can get Mickey waffles at Disney World!
For the last eight years, my Disney World hotel routine has been pretty set in stone. Book Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, walk into that towering lobby, and feel instantly at home, but a recent change has me rethinking my plan.
Pop Century
When I headed down to Disney World for the runDisney Wine & Dine weekend with a friend, I did something I hadn’t done in a long time. I booked a Value resort: Disney’s Pop Century Resort. I’ll be honest, I went in with pretty low expectations. I walked out with a new appreciation for Value resorts after a few things surprised me.
Disney World, specifically the hotels, will be seeing a LOT of change in November, especially with the seasons changing!
BoardWalk Outdoor Christmas Tree
Whether it’s added decor, refurbishments, or special events, November is bound to be a month of change at the Disney World resorts. We never want you to be surprised during your vacation, so we’ve compiled a full list of changes! Let’s take a look!
Think you factored in ALL of the costs when planning your Disney World vacation? Think again, because this keeps catching people (including me) off guard!
The Dolphin Hotel
Some hotels actually CHARGE for parking, whether you’re only staying for the day or spending the night! YUP! That means you may need to plan for spending an extra $10 to $68 per day, or even per exit! But don’t worry — not every Disney World hotel charges for parking. We’re laying out the full list of hotels that charge for parking, so you’re not surprised by any additional costs on your vacation!
Disney Adults, I’m going to hold your hand when I say this… You may be trying WAY too hard on your Disney World vacation.
Monorail
I know. You’ve got the spreadsheet, the color-coded itinerary, and a very specific understanding of how long it takes to get from Space Mountain to Pirates of the Caribbean. You’ve probably even wondered whether that 11:20 AM lunch reservation is going to make your 12:05 PM Lightning Lane more stressful than it needs to be. We get it because we are those people, too. But after enough Disney World trips, we’ve learned something we really wish someone had told us earlier…
If you spend enough time reading comments from Disney World hotel guests, you start to notice a theme. The beds? Debatable. The latest room design? Everyone has an opinion. But one complaint follows Disney Resort guests around with remarkable consistency: the noise.
This room is missing something
People hear kids running down hallways. Doors slamming. Toilets flushing. Conversations next door. Families coming back from Magic Kingdom at midnight. Families leaving for Early Entry when you would prefer that 6:15 AM not exist on vacation. And every time Disney refurbishes another hotel, it feels reasonable to ask the same question: Can they PLEASE fix the soundproofing while they’re in there? Unfortunately, that is much harder than changing the carpet.
Disney World has a brand-new hotel coming in 2027, and while there’s plenty to be excited about, some Disney Vacation Club fans have already found one detail they really don’t love. Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is set to open on July 1st, 2027, along the shores of Bay Lake near Magic Kingdom. The new resort will have 967 rooms, a lazy river, waterfront Lake Houses, new restaurants, and accommodations inspired by Disney movies including Bambi, Pocahontas, Encanto, Fantasia, and Brother Bear.

But buried among all those shiny new details is a number that could make Lakeshore Lodge considerably less appealing to some families: Four.
