From the safari animals right outside the windows, to the fantastic restaurants, this is a breathtaking resort. We stopped by today to check out the latest updates, so let’s get started!
If you’re heading to Disney World this year, we’ve got some important tips to share!
Disney World
Whether you’re a first-time Disney-goer or a seasoned visitor, some recent changes around Disney World might change the way you choose to do things on your next vacation! Here are three tips that will make your Disney World trip easier right now!
Did you hear the news? Just last week, Mobile Order in Disney World expanded to include a Table Service restaurant for the first time, and today we’re learning a few more details on this updated feature.

But first, a bit of background: Mobile Order made its Disney World debut in May 2017. Launched within the My Disney Experience app, the feature allows guests to pre-order and pre-pay for their food at participating Counter Service restaurants, thereby saving time which would otherwise be spent in line. This recent expansion, though, introduced Mobile Order to a Table Service restaurant for the first time with To Go service from Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. [Read more…]
We recently made the rounds to several Disney World Resort hotels to see what’s new!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Who’s ready for an adventure?? We took a trip out to several of the EPCOT and Animal Kingdom area hotels to check out the latest additions. Here’s what’s new at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and Disney’s Riviera Resort!
Earlier today, we learned about a MAJOR update coming to select Disney World table service restaurants. A brand-new Mobile Order feature launched on My Disney Experience called Table Service To Go, which as the name implies offering diners the opportunity to order table service food TO GO.

When we investigated further, it appeared that Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is currently the only location offering this service. We ventured over to Animal Kingdom Lodge to test this new Mobile Order experience out for ourselves (spoiler alert: we 100% order the Bread Service).
Since Disney World reopened, we’ve noticed concentrated efforts on expanding the Mobile Dining features in the Disney World app.

We’ve seen the new Walk-up Waitlist feature and more restaurants have received mobile capability. But perhaps the MOST exciting addition has come today. You can now Mobile Order from select table service restaurants in Disney World!
We took a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom AND Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to see what’s new!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We love soaking in the awesome atmosphere at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We wanted to see what all is new in the park since our last visit. Will there be more Halloween merch?? Additional construction progress?? You’re about to find out…here are all of the food, construction, and merchandise updates from Animal Kingdom AND Animal Kingdom Lodge!
A new feature suddenly (or, since this is Disney we’re talking about, perhaps we should say magically) appeared on the My Disney Experience app for Walt Disney World guests recently: Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist!

This feature allows guests to find out with a tap on their phone which Table Service restaurants have available seating for walk-up guests. (You can see how it works here.) And the list of restaurants in Walt Disney World that offer this new feature just keeps growing… and growing! [Read more…]
Just last week, a new dining feature was added to the My Disney Experience app for Walt Disney World guests.

The new Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist allows guests to view Table Service restaurants that have available seating for walk-up guests. That said, as a brand new feature, only two restaurants in Disney World were previously available on the walk-up waitlist: Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Topolino’s Terrace in Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Disney World has started to make some changes in the parks when it comes to hours, capacity, and more during the initial reopening.

While the park hours will be reduced starting September 8th, Disney has stated that some restaurants will remain open for guests to enjoy. However, Labor Day Weekend is happening soon…
