food IS a theme park
Let us do you a favor — just AVOID these Disney World hotels in 2026.
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
If you’re already planning your 2026 Disney World vacation, you’re likely trying to decide where you want to stay. And when that’s up for debate, there are some important factors to consider that could make a hotel stay not-so-magical…like major construction projects!
There are SO many dining options at Disneyland Resort, and Disneyland is also constantly introducing new food items and specials of the month. A popular dining spot at the Disneyland Resort recently introduced a new special for August, and we had to give it a try!
Caprese Hot Dog
We recently stopped by GCH Craftsman Grill inside Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel to grab the hot dog of the month, and we are bringing you all our thoughts! Let’s check out what’s cookin’ at the Grand Californian!
It is time for another look at the progress made on Disney World’s newest hotel, Disney Lakeshore Lodge.
Disney Lakeshore Lodge Construction
While this new hotel isn’t expected to open until 2027, it is always interesting to take a look at the progress being made. This hotel will be a new Disney Vacation Club Resort hotel, and it is located right by Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) recently released information for its meeting on June 27th, 2025. The agenda includes a public hearing on amendments to the district’s current comprehensive plan, Comprehensive Plan 2045, which is intended to “provide the basis for future decisions regarding land use, development, conservation, and infrastructure.”
Island Tower
The plan serves as the district’s policy on land use. It provides a framework for expansion while “managing growth, protecting the environment, ensuring health and safety, and enhancing the quality of development.” The plan shows potential development and expansion over the next twenty years, but ONLY outlines potential development at Disney World. Just because the plan allows for specific development does not mean Disney will actually follow through with all of the approved development.
Warning: Do not read this article unless you want to book a trip to Disney World.

Stormalong Bay construction in April 2025
Stormalong Bay is a popular pool at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. It is HUGE and has great amenities such as a sand pool bottom, a waterslide, and more. The pool is expected to reopen sometime in June, and you will never guess what we just saw!
Summer is one of the most popular times for families to visit Disney World.
Main Street, U.S.A.

The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort is updating its the maximum occupancy rule. Currently, if you book a fully equipped campsite at Disney’s Fort Wilderness, you can have up to 10 guests on the site. However, beginning in 2026, the maximum occupancy will only be 8 guests.
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
This decrease in the number of guests on each site applies to Premium Campsites, Premium Meadow Campsites, Full Hook-Up Campsites, Tent or Pop-Up Campsites, and Preferred Campsites.
