You’re hitting all the rides you want using Disney Genie+ and by checking wait times on the My Disney Experience app. You’re eating everything on your Dining Bucket List with a little help from Mobile Order and all the Advance Dining Reservations you’ve made.

We’re excited any time we hear about a new birth happening at the park because that means there are more residents to potentially see and say hello to when we visit. However, it’s extra special when the species with a new little one is as endangered as these guys are!

It’s true — and we’re not just talking about rooms that are closer to the main hub at value hotels, or rooms that are closer to the main gates at park-walkable hotels. THESE are really the best of the best when it comes to Disney hotel rooms!
