food IS a theme park
Moonlight Magic is back for 2025 for Disney Vacation Club members!
Moonlight Magic
This FREE DVC perk is an after-hours event with low crowd levels, entertainment, free snacks, and meet-and-greets with rare Disney characters. Recently, Disney revealed the dates for the 2025 Moonlight Magic events, and something caught interesting caught our eye!
It is officially 2025, which means Disney World’s newest hotel perk has finally debuted!
Blizzard Beach
It has been a long time coming, but those with upcoming 2025 Disney World vacations can take advantage of a brand new free water park perk! Here is everything you need to know!
Big changes are coming to Disney World in 2025.
Disney’s Grand Floridian
We’re about to see a lot of construction as EPCOT finishes up its reimagining of Test Track and Magic Kingdom starts work on its Cars expansion and Villains land. Hollywood Studios will be building a Monsters, Inc. land, while Animal Kingdom will be transforming Dinoland, U.S.A. into Pueblo Esperanza, a Tropical Americas-themed land. However, something ELSE is coming to Disney World, too, on January 1st — and it’s going to be a game-changer for folks staying at Disney World hotels.
We know, we know, Disney World can be expensive…just a baseline trip can cost thousands of dollars once you consider the cost of your hotel, tickets, and airfare.

You also have to EAT while you’re there, so food is going to set your budget back, too. Plus you might also want to pay extra for things like Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. You might even be considering things like the Happily Ever After Fireworks Dessert Party. There are so many other perks you can pay for, too, but we’ve got one to tell you about that we think is completely worth it.
UPDATED November 7, 2025
Okay, so we already know SO MUCH NEW STUFF is coming to Disney World over the next few years. We’re getting an entire land in Magic Kingdom dedicated to Villains (y’all, we are so ready for that to just happen already). We’re even getting a new Cars land in that same park. Two lands in one park? YES!
Magic Kingdom
Over in Hollywood Studios, we’re getting a Monsters, Inc. land. PLUS we’re getting a new land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, too, Pueblo Esperanza, that will have a new Encanto ride PLUS a new Indiana Jones ride. Okay, our heads are exploding. However, you’ll be able to do some things for the first time in 2025, too, so it could be a good year to book that trip!
There are MORE benefits to staying at a Disney World hotel these days!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
With offerings like the Disney Dining Plan and the option to book your Lightning Lanes 7 days before your vacation, there are definitely more perks to staying at a Disney Resort than there used to be. But coming in 2025, there will be a NEW offering…and we’ve got a way to hack it!
Blink and 2025 will be here and that means your Disney World trip will be here, too!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Being that 2025 is right around the corner, we’ve got no time to waste! Before you go doing things like booking the hotel, we’ve got to talk about some of the huge hotel changes that are coming up in 2025 that could affect your trip! Let’s go!
Disney World is making quite a few changes these days.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
From completely overhauling Genie+ to planning expansions for the theme parks, we’re basically floating in a SEA of Disney news and wondering how all of it is going to affect our next vacation…and yours! And along those lines, Disney announced a new hotel guest perk a while back, and we think it’s going to cause some CHAOS.
Well, we’re halfway through 2024, and a LOT has happened in Disney World already this year.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
A lot is still set to happen at Disney World hotels, though. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is getting a Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs plus The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. Brand new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas will be opening later in 2024 at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. With all of this, and more, going on, we expect to see some hotel trends popping up in 2025.
Picture this. You’re 16 and you’re excited to start a new summer job at a local water park. You’ll get a nice tan, meet lots of friends, and get to hang out by the water all day. Sounds like a dream, right?

Well, sure, it was great in some cases. But it’s been over ten years since I worked at a water park and I still avoid them at all costs.
