NEWS: Disney World Removing Brunch From One of Our Favorite Restaurants

There’s a phrase we say here at DFB: “The most consistent thing about Disney World restaurants is that they’re inconsistent.”

Olivia’s Cafe

Really, what that means is that Disney World restaurants are constantly changing. A new chef on staff can take a menu from ‘meh’ to amazing. An interior refurbishment can change the entire atmosphere of a space, or a batch of seasonal, limited-time items might end up being the best thing you eat throughout your whole trip. Because these restaurants change so much, we keep a close eye out for anything that could affect your trip, and coming soon, one of our favorite meals is going away!

Refurbishment Hits Yet ANOTHER Disney World Hotel

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth Leave a Comment

The construction and closure news isn’t slowing down around Disney World, despite how much we’d love for it to. It’s our job to keep you up-to-date, so that’s exactly what we’ll do!

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

One Disney World hotel is having some pretty serious issues with a water outage, though the hotel itself hasn’t closed because of it, and another Disney World hotel just began a pretty big construction project this past week. Though, we are happy to see that one construction project inside the parks has taken a big step forward!

The construction and closure news isn’t slowing down around Disney World, and it’s our job to keep you updated through it all.

Vacation Fun

Disney announced pretty last-minute that two new closures are hitting Disney World, so if you’re traveling this week, it’s important to know about them. Now, there is a brand new spot in Disney Springs that just opened up, and we do have an update on two existing projects, which we’re thrilled about — we love balance!

Disney World Added MORE Hotel Construction Projects, And No One Is Surprised

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth Leave a Comment

Well, we got one slow week in Disney World, and apparently that was the last one we’ll have for (probably) a long while.

Saratoga Springs Resort

While there haven’t been too many changes to the Disney World hotels right now, Disney did give us a heads up that multiple projects are on their way that we need to be on the lookout for in the coming weeks. If you’ve been thinking of booking a Disney World hotel reservation for the coming months, you may want to take a look at these new projects first to help aid in your decision.

Transportation at One Disney World Hotel Got a Lot Harder This Week

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth Leave a Comment

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but it was a mostly quiet week in Disney World!

Old Key West Dock

We’re not taking that for granted, especially considering the month of August is about to be intense. We’ll be at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event earlier in the month, followed quickly by the first nights of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash, and then we’ve got EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival to finish up. If you’re heading to Disney World soon, though, there is a new change you need to know about, on top of all the existing closures.

A MAJOR Transportation Perk Is Closing at This Disney World Hotel

By Sydney Leever 1 Comment

Disney World has so many great resort options, but we keep going back to one hotel for spacious rooms, yummy food, and a major coastal vibe that we can’t get enough of. But no, it’s not the Polynesian – it’s Old Key West!

Disney’s Old Key West Resort

Disney’s Old Key West Resort is a deluxe villa resort themed after Florida’s most iconic coastal town, Key West. You’ll find an abundance of Key Lime Pie-themed treats along the resort’s lake. But our plans to grab dessert soon just got complicated by not one, but three refurbishments across the resort!

Beware This CONFUSING Hotel Shortcut in Disney World

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth 2 Comments

Disney World hotels can be a little confusing if we’re being honest.

Saratoga Springs

First of all, it’s difficult to decide where you’d like to stay, as Disney World has over 20 different hotels spanning three tiers (Value, Moderate, and Deluxe). If you decide to stay at Saratoga Springs Resort or Old Key West Resort, you may want to enjoy the walking trails around the resorts. However, we’re here to admit that one of these trails is VERY confusing if you’ve never traveled on it before.
