food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that planning a trip to Disney World is an expensive proposition. From theme park tickets to hotel reservations to travel, a trip to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” is by itself a splurge for many.

On top of that, there are many extra perks and splurges at Disney World that are available to guests. However, some of those perks just really aren’t worth it. We’ve already fallen for paying for a lot of these perks, so now we can warn you away.
If you are planning a Disney World vacation in 2026, there is a change coming to Disney Moderate Hotels that you need to know about! The change was announced back in April 2025 and officially takes effect in 2026. We don’t want you to forget about the change as you start planning your vacation.
Disney’s Coronado Springs
While the change isn’t trip-altering, Disney will be changing how it categorizes rooms at Moderate Hotels. So you won’t need to change all your plans, but we also didn’t want you to be confused if you are used to making a specific room reservation for your trip.
If I’m going to Disney World’s All-Star Resorts, it’s probably against my will.
All-Star Music
Alright, that may be a slight exaggeration, but when I say that these hotels aren’t anywhere near the top of my list (and probably not at the top of many people’s lists!), that’s quite true. All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, and All-Star Sports may be the cheapest of the Disney World resorts, but sometimes that means dealing with some super cringey things when you stay there!
It is no secret that a trip to Disney World can be expensive.
