10 Disney World Restaurants CONFIRM 40% Discount in June

By Leave a Comment

Disney World food math is a dangerous sport. One minute you’re ordering a perfectly reasonable dinner, and the next minute your receipt is long enough to qualify as a Magic Kingdom parade route. But Annual Passholders? You’ve got a new reason to make those dining reservations.

Disney World Annual Pass

During the limited-time V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days dining discount, Passholders can save up to 40% at select Disney World restaurants this summer. That includes a bunch of table-service spots across the parks and resorts, and yes, several of these are places where a discount can actually make a noticeable difference. We are not talking “saved enough for half a Mickey ice cream sandwich” money here.

Dates Revealed for Disney’s Hollywood & Vine Seasonal Changes

By Leave a Comment

Let me let you in on a little secret — the best way to meet characters at Disney World is with character dining. I know, it can be expensive, but hear me out. Multiple characters, usually around four, come up to YOU at your table, so you don’t have to wait an hour in line for one character for the family to have a total meltdown by the time you actually meet the character. It also involves food, so you know I’m in.

Minnie’s Summertime Dine at Hollywood & Vine

Hollywood & Vine is one of those super cool character dining experiences where you can meet Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto (yes, you literally get to mark four characters off your list in one go) and dine on some fun food. Hollywood & Vine has seasonal changes, and we just got the dates for the next one.

New artwork on the walls!

Currently, there are two MAJOR construction projects happening at the park that was once known as the Disney-MGM Studios, with two more game-changing ride refurbishments scheduled for 2026. Perhaps that will make it more popular amongst these guests… though further change may actually make them think less of the park!
