When it comes to finding where to stay on your Disney World trip, we know the struggle of wanting to stay on property, close to the magic, but looking at your bank account and going, “Well, this isn’t good.”
We’ve been there, trust us! That’s why we highly recommend checking out the Disney Springs area hotels, like Wyndham Lake Buena Vista and Wyndham Garden, which are connected to each other. These ARE considered Disney World hotels, and it’s a fantastic way to stay close to the magic without completely breaking the bank. If you’ve been looking into the Wyndham, this is why we don’t think you should debate any longer!
When it comes to staying at a Walt Disney World hotel, timing can be everything.
If you’re lodging at visiting Disney World in 2026, there are some somewhat strict curfews you need to be aware of, especially if you’re planning to grab a bite or take a swim after a long day at the theme parks.
Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is being built as we speak, and now we have MORE details about this brand-new hotel!
Lakeshore Lodge is located in the former home of Disney’s River Country water park near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. We have been keeping a close eye on the construction progress, but Disney recently announced that this Disney Vacation Club Resort will officially open in summer 2027!
Disney does a great deal of work to make Disney World feel like a magical place, whether you’re in the parks or at a Disney World hotel. This is why so many folks insist on staying inside the “Disney bubble” when they visit the resort.
However, sometimes things can still go wrong at Disney World. We’ve seen everything from fire alarms to unexpected construction to dragons catching fire. Well, today, one Disney World hotel, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, had a really bad day...so bad that it was raining…INSIDE the hotel.
These days, there’s construction going on all OVER Disney World.
There are projects underway in all four parks to add new lands (like Villains Land and Tropical Americas), update attractions (like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster), and just conduct general maintenance. But we can’t forget about construction at the resorts! Recently, a new permit was filed for construction at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
After a long Disney World vacation, checking out of your Disney hotel isn’t exactly the highlight of your trip. However, with this tip, it doesn’t have to be a problem, either.
Checking out of your hotel can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! It’s true that Disney World’s policy can get convoluted — surprisingly — due to automatic checkout that doesn’t require a trip to the front desk. With that said, there is one tip that should help you avoid any issues.
While the main point of a Disney World vacation is to visit the resort’s four theme parks, there are some days when it’s better to do NOTHING but kick back and enjoy one’s hotel.
These Do-Nothing Days usually consist of spending time relaxing at one’s hotel and taking advantage of its amenities, including pools, walking trails, bodies of water, and dining establishments. While some guests may initially recoil at the idea of “wasting” one of their vacation days outside of the parks, there are some definite benefits.
One of Disney World’s budget-friendly — and most popular — hotels just went through some big changes!
Over the last few years, the Value Tier Pop Century Resort has been undergoing a refurbishment and refreshment process that has touched all corners of the fan-favorite resort, including the lobby, pool bar, food court, and even the guest rooms.
Change is a fact of life at Walt Disney World. Over the years, the company has closed and opened new rides, lands, and even changed hotels to the point of being unrecognizable, and Disney fans — as would be expected — have never been shy about expressing their opinions.
Currently, Disney is building the new Lakeshore Lodge on the space formerly occupied by the River Country water park, and our readers have THOUGHTS. We took to Facebook to ask why some aren’t thrilled with the resort.
