Wow, can you believe it’s already April?

So much has happened at Disney World since the beginning of the year as things begin to return to normal at the resort. We’ve had some good news about the return of the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review, the Festival of Fantasy parade has already returned, Fantasmic! will reopen sometime this year, ALL of Disney World’s hotels have reopened, and most of Disney World’s restaurants have reopened or have reopening dates. We’re also still seeing a lot of menu updates at Disney World restaurants!
When’s the last time you stayed in a Disney World hotel?!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney World hotels are almost like theme parks themselves — they have a ton of activities, entertainment, great food, and shopping! That’s why we visit the hotels often to check and see what’s new at each one. So let’s get on with the updates.
Spring is in full swing over in Disney World and there is so much to do and see!
Springtime in Disney World
We’re experiencing everything Disney has to offer for St. Patrick’s Day, and who could forget the 2022 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival?! But today, we spotted ANOTHER springtime surprise that is brand new this year — let’s check it out!
Disney World has been slowly returning to normal lately! The beloved Festival of Fantasy parade recently returned to the Magic Kingdom, and character meet and greets are expected to come back soon, too! Not only that, but Disney has been relaxing its health and safety guidelines in the parks and resorts.

That said, there are still some experiences and restaurants that have not reopened in Disney World. We’re still waiting for Fantasmic! to return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and dinner shows like The Spirit of Aloha and the Hoop Dee Doo Revue are still on pause. The good news is that Disney just announced that another restaurant is reopening in Disney World SOON! Let’s take a look!
When you hear the word “luxury,” you probably don’t think about theme parks and family tourist destinations, but the truth is, you can experience some serious opulence and elegance in Disney World (as long as you’re willing to spend some serious cash). In fact, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa was recently ranked as one of the BEST hotels in Orlando!
This is a beautiful resort!
As much as we love the Grand Floridian Resort, it was time for a little update. Recently, Disney started construction at one of Disney’s most popular Deluxe hotels, with plans to add 200 NEW DVC rooms to the resort. We’ve been keeping our eyes out for updates, and now we’ve got an important update to share about the new rooms coming to the Grand Floridian Resort.
