Adventures by Disney Announces A New Itinerary To ColombiaView the full article

There is so much to see in Disney World, that it can feel like you’ll never be able to narrow down your must-do list. Magic Kingdom There are seasonal snacks to try, new restaurants to get reservations for, and new rides to experience. With all of these suggestions of things you “should” do, you might be wondering about the things you should AVOID doing while you’re in Disney World. Don’t worry: we’re here to help! Here are a bunch of things you should definitely NOT do on your next Disney trip. Forget To Grab Park Pass Reservations Disney’s Park Pass Reservation System was introduced as a safety measure after the parks reopened in 2020. In order to limit capacity, guests now have to make a reservation for the park they wish to visit. The purchase of 1-Day, 1-Park Tickets now includes the reservation needed for that day, but all other types of tickets require guests to make these reservations separately. Entering the park Don’t take making these reservations lightly! Disney World has a lot going on right now, so Park Pass Reservations can fill up. Between the return of Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, Star Wars Day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and tons of other events going on around the parks — reservations do fill up, and you don’t want to be caught without one during your trip. Click here to learn all about Park Pass Reservations and how to make them. Eat Disappointing Food Disney has a lot of great dining options that can really make a good trip, but not every restaurant is perfect for every family. We are constantly trying the food throughout the parks to make sure our readers have as much information as possible to plan for their trips. So, there are tons of resources on our site to find the RIGHT dining locations for you. The Tropical Serenade is a MUST! Disney can be expensive, so don’t come unprepared! You don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on something that doesn’t end up being your cup of tea. We have lists of some of the most well-loved eats in all the parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (As a bonus, we also know where all the best food is in Disney Springs — click here!) Breakfast Bowl at Woody’s Lunch Box Make sure to take a peek at some of your options beforehand so you’re not stuck buying something you don’t love while you’re there. And don’t forget our DFB Guide is a great way to get a game plan for tasty food on your trip! The 2023 DFB Guide to Dining in Disney World We put our decades of experience into these guides so that you know exactly how to plan the most delicious Disney trip ever. Click here to shop our collection of DFB guidebooks. Get in Line During Peak Wait Times There are a lot of Disney rides with a ton of hype. That means wait times can get scary — Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance had a wait time of over FIVE hours earlier this year. But, these attractions don’t typically stay insanely high all day long. Rise of the Resistance We have noticed a bit of a trend, for example, with Rise of the Resistance getting lower wait times near the end of the park day. While that is a little bit of a risky plan (you can’t guarantee that it will slow down later in the day, or that it will even be open when you try!), there are some things you can do to lessen your wait times. Would you wait this long for TOT? You can take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry (with participating hotels) to try to get on these rides before all of the other guests can enter the park for the day. And on particularly busy days, it might make sense to purchase Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes to avoid these long waits. See our complete guide to Genie+ here. Skip the “Boring” Attractions Finally, don’t forget to give some attention to the less-hyped attractions. TRON Lightcycle / Run might be new and shiny, but there are tons of amazing things to do in Disney World that don’t draw as big of a crowd. Is the Florida heat getting to you after walking around EPCOT’s World Showcase? Why not give Awesome Planet a try? You’ll be able to watch a beautiful “on-screen exploration of the realm we call home” in an air-conditioned room with comfortable seats. Sounds appealing in our book! Awesome Planet Tired of all the crowds in Magic Kingdom? It can get pretty intense! Duck into the Hall of Presidents for a relaxing, air-conditioned presentation of the story of the nations founding. Hall of Presidents Not all of these less popular attractions are for everyone, but there are probably some hidden attractions you’re not considering that you might actually love! Make sure you don’t overlook these — going full speed the entire time can end up taking a bigger toll on your trip than you realize. Walt Disney Presents in Hollywood Studios There is so much potential in a Disney World vacation, but being unprepared can lead to less-than-ideal situations. Knowing what to AVOID can really make or break your trip, so come prepared! Want to know more things you SHOULDN’T do in Disney World? Check out this DFB video!

Traveling by plane has been a bit rough lately. Orlando International Airport Flight cancelations have affected passengers significantly in the last few months, record-breaking crowds have hit the Orlando International Airport, and the airline industry is expecting a wave of pilot retirements soon. But, things might be looking up for those traveling in the eastern U.S. According to CNBC, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has added a new set of flight routes in order to deal with the congestion in the eastern U.S. These 169 new routes have a higher altitude — mostly above 18,000 feet — making them shorter and faster. Have you flown recently? The longer more zigzagged routes were “designed for planes relying on ground-based radar and not the GPS that modern aircraft use,” and have since been replaced by these new direct routes. ©FAA via CNBC Some of these new routes will take place over the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and are for flights to and from Florida — where flights are often faced with obstacles like space launches, military activity, and thunderstorms. These new routes not only aim to lessen the congestion in these spaces but also will help air traffic controllers have more flexibility when poor weather occurs. Southwest These new routes are debuting just in time for the summer travel season after airlines have pressured the FAA to make a change in response to all of the congestion and delays we’ve been seeing lately. Last year, “1.7 million flights, more than 20% of those operated by U.S. airlines, were delayed, up from 1.5 million, or roughly 16% of flights, in 2019, before the pandemic.” Air Travel Hopefully, this new change will lead to smoother travel for those flying to Disney World soon. We’ll keep an eye on the situation, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates.

Today’s a very exciting day for lots of Disney Halloween fans! Boo to You Halloween parade at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party With announcements like special sneak peeks of treats and merch from Halfway to Halloween, new Photopass filters on the My Disney Experience app, and updated news about the attractions that will be open during the parties, Disney is reminding us Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is not too far away! Now everyone can join in on the scary-good fun! Tickets for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party have already been available for purchase for Disney World hotel guests for a few days now, but now everyone can purchase tickets. Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular Party nights start as early as Friday, August 11th, 2023, and run through select nights in the Magic Kingdom until Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. That’s something new for this year, as the past few years’ dates have only run through the end of October. Pricing varies from $109-$199 per adult, depending on the night, and $99-$189 for children. DVC and annual passholders will be eligible for a special savings on the ticketed price. The pricing for the first night of the party and those closest to Halloween are usually the highest-priced tickets and they’re the ones we tend to see sell out the quickest. ©Disney There’s so much to do in these parties now between the Halloween treat stops, Hocus Pocus Villains Spelltacular castle stage show, the ever-iconic Mickey’s Boo To You Parade, the recently revamped Mickey’s Not So Scary Spooktacular Fireworks narrated by Jack Skellington himself, and hunting down boo-tiful exclusive party merch and treats, it’s hard to fit the party festivities into just one night. 2023 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Spirit Jersey We’re excited to see one of Disney World’s most popular events return this year in full force and can’t wait to hear which night or nights you’ll be visiting.

If there’s one thing we hate forgetting to pack if we’re headed to Disney World, it’s a pair of sunglasses. You’ll definitely want some sunglasses for those sunny Florida days! That Florida sun is brutal, and it can definitely show in your PhotoPass photos when you can’t open your eyes because the sun is so bright. Plus, you’ll miss out on all the great scenery at Disney World without some shades! Luckily, a new pop-up shop in EPCOT can help you out if you forget this essential. If you forget your sunglasses, you’re in luck. Sunglass Hut has locations in both Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs (although the Springs location is currently closed for refurbishment), but now a new Sunglass Hut pop-up shop is available at Disney World. It’s located in a Festival Market Booth at EPCOT! Sunglass Hut Popup As part of the set of vendors for EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival, Sunglass Hut has set up shop with an impressive array of sunglasses, including all the fan-favorite luxury brands. EPCOT Sunglass Hut Popup The manager of the popup shop said that we could expect the shop to be at EPCOT for the next two months, but that they were hoping for permanent locations in each of the parks.

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board (formerly the Reedy Creek Improvement District) held a meeting on April 26th, 2023, where they declared that agreements previously entered into by Disney and the former Reedy Creek Board were void. Reedy Creek This was apparently the final straw for Disney, who was primed and ready to file a federal lawsuit. The company has alleged that DeSantis has waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power” over them. And then, in a meeting on May 1st, the new District Board voted to sue Disney in state court — which was apparently news to the Florida governor. Following the news of the recent lawsuit, the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board held a meeting on the morning of May 1st, 2023. The May 1st meeting agenda had only one item, which read, “Board discussion and direction to litigation counsel and authorization to defend District officials sued in official capacities.” The meeting itself was fairly short, and there was one main result — the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board has announced its own lawsuit against Disney. ©Reedy Creek Meeting Livestream Chairman of the Board, Martin Garcia, said, “Since Disney sued us — yes, we didn’t sue Disney. Disney sued us. We ha[ve] no choice now but to respond. This is why we called today’s meeting, to authorize legal action in response to Disney’s federal lawsuit. This district will seek justice in state court here in central Florida where both it and Disney reside and do business. Yes, we’ll seek justice in our own backyard.” ©Reedy Creek Meeting Livestream Garcia continued, “And so with those comments, I’d like to make a motion to authorize a state court lawsuit to be filed by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts USA, Inc. and such other parties as may be needed to uphold and enforce the board’s April 26th, 2023 legislative findings relating to the February 8th, 2023 development agreement and declaration of restrictive covenants, and to have that litigation counsel defend the board of supervisors and the district administrator sued in their official capacities by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts USA, Inc. in federal court on April 26th, 2023.” Reedy Creek Building As of now, no lawsuit has actually been filed, and Disney has not yet commented on this announcement, but we’re keeping an eye out. In the meantime, Governor DeSantis shared his thoughts on the matter at length when asked about it at an event on May 1st. “So first of all, no corporation is above the law and the people of this state. It is wrong for one corporation to basically corrupt the local government, run it as their own fiefdom, be exempt from laws, have all kinds of benefits that nobody else has…and yes, I mean, I think it’s been very disappointing to watch this particular company, what they’ve done by advocating things like the sexualization of children, very close relationship with the Chinese Communist Party…you know that’s all very problematic,” DeSantis said. Obtained via ClickOrlando Livestream He continued, saying that “it’s a question about good governance,” and that Disney should not be able to govern themselves. According to him, that’s why Disney created the development agreements the new Board has declared invalid. “So we had the debate…and now we’re implementing the will of the people. And for them to act like they have the ability to veto that basically is putting their thumb…is putting their thumb in the eye of the voters of the state,” DeSantis said. via Twitter But, he also claims to have no idea that the Board was planning on suing Disney. “…I think what the board is doing — and I didn’t know, I saw the report I didn’t know — that [the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board of Supervisors] were necessarily doing that, but I think what they’re going to do is just say here’s why it’s invalid.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ©Deadline DeSantis also anticipates the Florida Legislature will pass a bill — which he has already committed to signing — that will revoke the development agreements “from the legislative perspective.” “Basically, all [the Board] is trying to do is uphold the will of the people in terms of what we did to make sure that nobody’s governing themselves as a major corporation. I think that that’s where that will end up going and I think that that will be something that will be successful in terms of the state of Florida’s position on it because there’s just so much background law in our favor on this that they weren’t doing this stuff willy-nilly — they knew what they were doing,” said the governor.

Imagineers are responsible for so much of the Disney magic we know and love. ©D23 From Disneyland to Disney World and beyond, the parks just wouldn’t be the same without them. One important Imagineer, Bob Weis, retired at the end of 2022, and Disney just revealed how they’ve chosen to honor him and his contributions to the company! And if you ask us, it’s pretty iconic. Disney Imagineer Bob Weis retired at the end of 2022. At the time of his retirement, he was the Global Imagineering Ambassador and was also formerly the President of Walt Disney Imagineering. He wrote in an email, “I will always be proud to have led Imagineering from 2016-2021, and to be your Global Ambassador in 2022.” ©D23 But now, Disney has honored Bob Weis in a classic — and iconic — way. Walt Disney Imagineering shared on Instagram that Bob has been honored with his very own window in Hollywood Studios! This is a tradition for legendary Imagineers and other folks who have made important contributions to Disney. It looks like Bob got to check the window out in person and even got to take home his own version (how do we get one of those?!?!). He played an important role when Hollywood Studios was brought to life in 1989 (and was still MGM Studios!), so it’s perfectly fitting that this is where you’ll find the new window! It’s located above Hollywood & Vine, so keep an eye out for it the next time you’re in the park. ©D23 Congratulations to Bob Weis on this achievement! We’re always looking out for news from Disney World, and if you’re heading to Hollywood Studios soon there’s even more news you can use: a virtual queue has been added for a special event, and tons of new treats are coming too — check them out here!

Have you decided to take a trip to Walt Disney World? Congratulations! The excitement starts the minute that you start planning your vacation. Welcome to Disney World! But where do you begin? Whether this is a first trip to Disney World or a repeat visit, it takes patience to research flights, transportation, hotels, dining, tickets, and more. We know that you have more questions than answers right now. You’re probably asking yourself all of these questions: Should I fly or drive to Orlando? Which Disney resort fits my touring plans? How does Disney transportation work? Where should we have a character meal? Which admission tickets do we need? Yes, this part of the process can be extremely overwhelming, so we’re here to walk you through the entire planning process. Cinderella Meet and Greet We’re going to break down each step, while showing you how to plan a Disney World trip. Follow along and we’ll build the perfect vacation for your family. Let’s get to it! THE BASICS First of all, Walt Disney World is absolutely huge! Cinderella Castle Within the over 40 square miles of Disney property are four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom), two water parks (Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach), hotels, a shopping and dining district (Disney Springs), miniature golf courses, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, golf courses, and more! What we want to mention right now is that your trip will be a lot more magical if you realize that you can’t see and do it all during one single vacation. Even repeat guests always find something new to do! Go with the mindset to thoroughly enjoy what you do take part in; don’t worry about the things that you might be missing. Gather precious memories by soaking up priceless moments. Happily Ever After If you spend your time running night and day with the goal to accomplish as much as possible, you really miss out on the VACATION part of your Disney World visit. Relax by your resort pool! Later, we’ll talk about making a list of MUST DO activities and leaving room for spontaneous fun! So, when should you visit Walt Disney World? BEST TIME TO VISIT DISNEY WORLD Your family may have work, school, and other obligations to work around when organizing your Disney trip. And when planning your budget, it helps to see the least expensive times of the year to purchase admission tickets. Try to choose the dates that best match your availability with the least expensive (least crowded!) days in Walt Disney World. Also, coordinate with any upcoming hotel discounts as well as weather concerns. Watch for crowded times of the year. Don’t forget to pay attention to Disney World seasons and holidays when booking hotels. Value season is less crowded and cheaper; holidays are more crowded and costlier. Next, let’s figure out where you should stay?! What is the Best Time of Year to Go to Disney World? RESORTS There are a LOT of different Disney-owned hotels to stay at on Walt Disney World property. There are also some hotels that are technically on Walt Disney World property but are not owned by Disney, like the Four Seasons Orlando or the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. And there are hotels that are off of Walt Disney World property but very close by. Welcome pamphlet Want to stay at a Disney World hotel and wondering which Disney-owned hotel would be best? With a LOT of options, it can be overwhelming to figure out what the right accommodations are for your family. There are three classes of hotels owned by Disney ranging from the less expensive Value resorts all the way up to posh Deluxe resorts with all the amenities you could want. Art of Animation Also, keep in mind that some benefits only apply to guests staying at select Disney World hotels. Check out our section below on Park Hours to learn more about the Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours benefits and how those might impact your decision about where to stay. There are many reasons why you might want to stay at a Disney World-owned hotel — like the free transportation to the Disney parks (a HUGE perk for many guests), the service you get from the Cast Members, and the Disney theming. Disney Bus Transportation to Hollywood Studios Walt Disney World offers four Resort hotel levels: Value, Moderate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Villas. Let’s take a closer look! Value Resorts These resorts have the cheapest rates of any Disney World hotels, so the rooms tend to be smaller and the amenities fewer. Still, it’s the least expensive option if you still want to stay on property and have access to all of the Disney World Resort hotel perks. All-Star Resorts Get ready for the STAR treatment at Disney’s All-Star Resorts: All-Star Sports, All-Star Music, and All-Star Movies! All-Star Resorts You’ll be surrounded by colorful, whimsical, larger-than-life icons themed to your chosen Resort (Sports, Music, or Movies) in addition to reasonably priced rooms, huge food courts with plenty of options, gigantic pools, and much more. Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Fours areas are meticulously themed to classic Disney and Pixar animated films. Family suites along with standard rooms, three pools (including the largest one at a Disney Resort!), a huge food court, and access to the Disney Skyliner are just a few of the features that make a stay at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort a truly memorable experience! Art of Animation Resort It’s a great hotel for families, particularly if you’re needing some more space and you’re willing to pay for it. Disney’s Pop Century Resort Do you want to be close to the action but still save some money in the process? Then you may want to consider Disney’s Pop Century Resort for your upcoming stay! Pop Century Resort With buildings whimsically themed to various decades, reasonably priced rooms, enormous pools, access to the Disney Skyliner and much more, there are many reasons why Pop Century is a POP-ular choice for many guests! Moderate Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a favorite for some and a less exciting option for others. This is a LARGE resort and getting around can be a loooong walk; some rooms are 15-20 minutes from the lobby area. Skyliner from Caribbean Beach When it comes to moderate hotels, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort arguably has the best transportation options. Caribbean Beach has two Skyliner stations: the main hub and the Riviera station. Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort If you’re wanting luxury but you’re also on a budget, then Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort might be the moderate resort to book! Coronado Springs Until recently, the hotel has been a sprawling, sleepy resort, with clusters of buildings representing three types of housing found in the Southwest and Mexico — casitas (city-dwelling), cabanas (beach dwelling), and ranchos (desert dwelling). Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort But the Gran Destino Tower adds a cosmopolitan feel to the resort, with a 545-room tower offering a mix of 495 rooms and 50 suites — plus a rooftop table service restaurant (Toledo — Tapas, Steak, & Seafood), a rooftop lounge (Dahlia Lounge), and a lobby bar that pulls double duty depending on the hour (Barcelona Lounge)! The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Fort Wilderness is only a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom! And this moderate category resort is going to be the best option if you’re wanting some extra space without splurging for a suite. Fort Wilderness The cabins might be more expensive than the other moderate resorts, but you’re going to get a lot more space and a lot more privacy for the price. Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter And the guest favorite of the moderate resorts is Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter! Though this resort is in the moderate price range, most people consider the excellent theming, convenience, and much-loved dining to be worth the price. Port Orleans French Quarter This resort has boat access to Disney Springs via the peaceful Sassagoula River. Port Orleans — French Quarter Year-round, Port Orleans French Quarter has a fun Mardi-Gras vibe. This resort is smaller than Riverside, so you’ll benefit from fewer people staying here and an easier time navigating the resort. Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort is great for those who want Disney theming to the max. Offering Louisiana-inspired charm, you can choose from rustic bayou or elegant mansion rooms. Boat service at Riverside There is boat transportation that’ll take you over to the shopping and dining district — Disney Springs. Deluxe Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Jambo House will give you a unique vacation experience, for sure. Animal Kingdom Lodge If you want that deluxe feel, this resort is going to offer you some of the lowest prices in the Disney Deluxe resort category. Deluxe amenities, memorable Resort activities, a wide range of fantastic and flavorful dining, lovely and relaxing pools, and much more are all part of the Animal Kingdom Lodge experience. Zebra sighting during Starlight Safari However, what truly sets this Resort apart are the over 200 animals and birds that call the savannas of Animal Kingdom Lodge “home!” Disney’s Beach Club Resort Disney’s Beach Club has a sandy beachside where you can kick back in a cozy, outdoor lounge chair, relax on an outdoor swing, or take a catnap a hammock. Beach Club beach This is the closest resort to the EPCOT Skyliner station and like the other two EPCOT resort area hotels, you also have access to the Friendship Boats to get to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Do you love high-end nostalgia and hip-happenin’ nightlife shindigs? Then mosey on over to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn! BoardWalk This EPCOT resort area is truly one of the most convenient locations at Walt Disney World. You have access to the Skyliner, and you can walk (or boat) to EPCOT AND Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney’s Contemporary Resort Yes, the Contemporary is another high-priced deluxe option that isn’t the greatest option for travel parties on a budget, but if your heart is set on staying here, you can always check out rates for the Contemporary’s Garden Wing rooms. Contemporary Resort rooms Via a short walk or monorail ride, you’ll be able to easily hop on over to the Magic Kingdom from here. In fact, the monorail track extends straight through the middle of this resort! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa The Grand Floridian is going to be the resort you wanna splurge your budget on if you’re celebrating something EXTRAVAGANT — whether that be a honeymoon, a wedding, a vow renewal, a babymoon, or an anniversary…this iconic resort is known for its romantic and high-class atmosphere. Grand Floridian Christmas Tree You can get to Magic Kingdom by complimentary transportation via monorail or boat. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort You can expect tropical theming, great dining, and convenient transportation methods. The rooms at Polynesian Resort were recently reimagined to take on a Moana-inspired ambiance. The changes provide a balance of classy island vibes while also incorporating beloved Disney characters, so adults and kiddos alike can enjoy these new changes. Good amount of space Aside from the fun dining options here, you’re also SUPER close to Magic Kingdom. Because of the Polynesian’s proximity to Disney’s iconic park, you’ll be able to watch the fireworks from several areas around the resort. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, you can feel like you’re in sync with nature while also keeping your resort stay comfy and upscale. You might remember that this resort tends to tie for cheapest of the deluxe hotels with Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Still pricey compared to the lower categories, but not as sky-high expensive as the other fancy hotels. Wilderness Lodge Lobby You’ll have bus transportation available — per usual — but you can take a boat directly over to Magic Kingdom. Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Disney’s Yacht Club Resort boasts a great location between Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Guests can walk or boat to either park! Stormalong Bay Shipwreck Waterslide Home to Stormalong Bay — the ONLY Disney resort swimming area you could technically classify as a mini-waterpark. Stormalong Bay has a sand-bottom pool, a 230-foot water slide, a lazy river, and three whirlpool spas. If you’re staying at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, you’ll also have access to Stormalong Bay. Deluxe Villas Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is also home to Disney Vacation Club Villas at Kidani Village. There are also some villas at Jambo House. Kidani Village You can choose from Studios and one-, two-, and three- bedroom Villas which can sleep from 6 to 8 Adults. (Note that Studios offer kitchenettes, while the Villas offer kitchens.) Disney’s Beach Club Resort Beach Club tends to be pricy but you’re getting a LOT of benefits at that price. Unless you are cooking meals in your villa, we also recommend Cape May Cafe’s character breakfast! Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast The villas are just a short walk from the main building via a covered walkway. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn You’re paying high prices here for location, location, location. Villa accommodations are a good choice for large families and/or those looking to cook some meals. BoardWalk Lobby This deluxe resort gives you the best of three worlds — it’s fancy AND beachy AND vintage, all wrapped up into one. Disney’s Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower is home to the villas at Contemporary Resort. Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Guests can choose from studios, or 1-3 bedroom villas. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa If you know you want to spend a lot of time at your resort to savor the amenities offered, this could be a good hotel option for you. Don’t you want to just stay in bed a little bit longer? Grand Floridian also has several dining options available, including a AAA 5-Diamond restaurant, Victoria and Albert’s. Disney’s Old Key West Resort Out of all Deluxe Villas, Old Key West has the biggest rooms to offer, making them more comfortable for large families to share. Old Key West Lobby It’s also one of Disney’s more peaceful and relaxing resorts. If you’re looking for a resort that captures those tropical island vibes, then you might find that palm tree and steel drum atmosphere you’re looking for right here! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort You’re getting bang for your buck, but it’s a lot of bucks. Bora Bora Bungalow at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Right now, the Polynesian has 380 Disney Vacation Club villas, including the Bora Bora Bungalows. And a new villa building is in progress with a projected opening date of late 2024. Disney’s Riviera Resort The European Riviera inspires the architectural design and decorative touches. Disney’s Riviera Resort is probably your best bet if you’re wanting to stay somewhere modern and luxurious. Yet, it’s a smaller and more intimate DVC deluxe resort. Disney’s Riviera Resort The rooms are nice and sleek and give off those posh European vibes, but they’re way smaller than the other deluxe resort rooms and still cost just as much, if not more. Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa is the best resort for those who want to spend a lot of time in Disney Springs. Guests can walk or boat to the shopping and dining district. The hotel features an 1800s upstate New York atmosphere when horse racing was all-the-rage. Saratoga Springs The Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa are a really unique and fun way to host a big group in Disney World! These villas are located in wooded areas, with room for up to 9 adults, including two queen beds, one queen-size sleeper sofa, one bunk bed, and one twin-size sleeper chair. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Take in the rustic beauty of the Pacific Northwest (right in the heart of Florida) by way of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Seating Area of Copper Creek Villa Wilderness Lodge is also home to Disney Vacation Club Villas with Copper Creek Villas & Cabins and Boulder Ridge Villas. Every Disney World Hotel Ranked! Non-Disney Owned Hotels at Walt Disney World Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts and WDW Swan Reserve They’re not owned by Disney, but guests at these hotels can take advantage of free transportation to and from the parks and Early Theme Park Entry. Swan and Dolphin All three of these hotels (the Swan Reserve, the Swan, and the Dolphin) get most of the same perks that Disney World hotels get. This includes the early reservation time for the pay-per-ride system. The Bed Area at Swan Reserve Bang for your buck is a BIG perk at these hotels as the cost is MUCH cheaper than you’ll find at the Disney-owned Deluxe hotels. Off-Property Hotels But there are also some reasons why you might NOT want to stay in a Disney World hotel — like the cost savings or larger rooms. Another consideration to make if you plan to drive or rent a car from the airport is parking. Disney-owned resort guests get complimentary parking at the theme parks. Drury Plaza Hotel Should you stay on property or off property? Ultimately, it’ll depend on what’s best for your family. Finally, before you book your trip, you’ll want to check and see if there are any special deals or discounts being offered on Disney World hotel stays. Sometimes, you may be able to score the hotel of your dreams for less through these deals. You could also look into renting points to stay at a Disney Vacation Club Villa and that could help you save BIG on some great spots. How Much It Costs to Stay at a Disney-Owned Hotel Versus a Hotel Near Disney World THEME PARKS Let’s review the parks, then you should consider devising a touring plan based on the best days to visit each theme park. If possible, it’s best to plan your park days during the Monday-Friday timeframe to avoid crowds. Crowds in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios As a general rule, if schools are out, Disney World crowds will be more difficult to navigate. Theme Park Admission Disney World offers several different types of tickets, each with unique inclusions. Figuring out which ticket is right for your vacation can be complicated, so we’re exploring the various types of Disney World tickets so you can know all the options — and make the best decision — for your traveling group’s needs. Standard Park Per Day Tickets These tickets allow you to visit ONE of the four Disney World theme parks per day: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can choose different parks for different days of your visit, but you are only able to go to one park each day. Disney World Theme Park Ticket Cards However, ticket prices vary by date AND park. Under this new structure (which started December 8th, 2022), the required theme Park Pass Reservation to visit a park with ONLY a 1-Day, 1 Park-ticket is automatically made at the time of purchase. (Again, this is specific to 1-Day, 1 Park-tickets. Guests with any other type of ticket must still make the required theme Park Pass Reservations.) Interested guests may find pricing for tickets on the Walt Disney World website. And remember, children ages 2 and under do NOT require a park ticket. Click HERE to learn how to choose the right Disney World tickets for YOU. Park Hopper Would you like to visit MORE than one of the four major theme parks per day? Adding the Park Hopper benefit to your ticket will let you visit more than 1 park in a single day. Under the current Park Hopping rules, guests are able to visit one park, and then “hop” to any of the other 3 Disney World theme parks after 2PM (provided that capacity has not been reached). EPCOT PLEASE BE AWARE that prices for select add-ons like Park Hopper vary by date. Keep in mind that the Park Hopper option must be added for ALL days for which you have tickets. Find your Guide to Park Hopping at Walt Disney World HERE! Water Parks and Sports Option The Water Parks and Sports ticket option allows you to visit ONE of the 4 Disney World theme parks per day (you can choose a different park for each day of your trip) AND you’ll get a certain number of visits to select other experiences depending on the length of your stay. Typhoon Lagoon Water Park For example, a 4-day ticket allows 4 visits to these other experiences and a 5-day ticket allows 5 visits. Annual Pass Guests who frequent Disney World on a more regular basis may want to consider a Walt Disney World Annual Pass. Annual Pass Guests are able to choose from FOUR different Annual Pass options. You can find out more here. Click here to find information on Walt Disney World Annual Passes. Florida Resident Ticket Options Often, Disney World offers unique ticket options for Florida Residents. Florida Sunset Florida state residents are advised to visit the Walt Disney World website to select Theme Park Ticket options for Florida Residents. Theme Park Pass Reservations The Disney Park Pass Reservation System is an online tool that allows guests to make reservations to visit the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Magic Kingdom Park Pass Reservations are currently available for booking through January 18, 2024, for Disney World Resort guests and regular Ticket holders. Annual Passholders may book reservations through their Annual Pass expiration date. EXCEPTIONS to Park Pass Reservation Requirements 1-Day, 1-Park Ticket *Disney has implemented a park-specific pricing structure for 1-day, 1-park tickets. Guests now purchase a 1-day, 1-park ticket for a specific park (i.e. a 1-day, 1-park ticket for Magic Kingdom, as opposed to just a generic — or non-park-specific — Disney World theme park 1-day, 1-park ticket). When you purchase that 1-day ticket for a specific date and theme park, a Park Pass reservation is now made AUTOMATICALLY at the time of purchase. Guests purchasing any other type of theme park ticket (such as a Park Hopper or 2 or more-day park ticket) still need to follow the procedures for making Park Pass Reservations outlined below. Effective April 18, 2023: Disney World Annual Passholders — After 2 PM, with exceptions Starting April 18, 2023, Annual Passholders will be able enter the parks after 2PM WITHOUT a Park Pass reservation. However, there are some exceptions: Passholders will still need to schedule reservations for Saturdays and Sundays in Magic Kingdom. If an Annual Passholder wants to go to Magic Kingdom on Saturdays or Sundays, they’ll need a Park Pass regardless of what time they want to visit. Keep in mind, Annual Passholder blockout dates will continue to apply, so you’ll want to take a close look at those when planning your visit. Click HERE to see our Disney World Park Pass Reservation System FAQ Park Hours Wondering what the theme park hours are for your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World? If so, there’s something you’ll want to know: park hours for all four Walt Disney World theme parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom — are released just a few months in advance. It’s important that you know those hours when you plan your trip so you can try to get the most out of every single day you have there. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Also, keep in mind that some guests get to spend a little extra time in the parks, extending those park hours just a bit more with Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours. If you’ll be staying at a resort with one or both of these perks, you’ll be able to factor in that extra time in the parks as part of your plans. EPCOT is enchanting after dark! Additionally, even once posted, theme park hours are subject to change! Click here to see our page with LOTS of park hours updates. Parades and Fireworks Be sure to still check the Disney World website to see what’s being offered during your trip! We couldn’t get through this post without mentioning two of the things that Disney is so famous for (even though they aren’t rides) — parades and fireworks! Happily Ever After These are some of the quintessential Disney things you’ll likely want to set aside time to experience. Park Maps There are a lot of rides in Disney World, and it’s important to know what rides are in what park so you can best plan your days. You can find Disney World maps online or in the My Disney Experience app. NEW park map! We think it’s a good idea for you and your family to look at these maps ahead of time and make a note of what rides are must-dos, which ones you’d like to try, and which ones you’d rather skip. HOW TO BOOK YOUR DISNEY VACATION Okay, so you’ve picked your hotel and you know what type of tickets you want to buy — so what do you do in terms of booking? Well, you can book your tickets and hotel room separately. Or you can book a package that includes both. Are you ready to book a Disney vacation? Often many discounts will require you to book a specific package, so check the fine print of any deals you’re eyeing. What booking strategy is best for you? You’ll have to price out the discounts on hotels, tickets, and combined packages to find out. Reach out for help when planning your Disney trip. Planning a Disney World vacation can be A LOT. Our recommendation? You might want to think about reaching out to a travel agent. We specifically recommend the awesome folks over at Small World Vacations! Oh, and did we mention that their services are TOTALLY FREE?! In fact, you could SAVE money working with a travel agent. We’ve scored some great deals this way. Should you use a travel agent for your Disney World trip? GETTING TO ORLANDO TO/From Orlando How will you get to Florida? If you are in the United States, your options are probably driving or flying. To decide how you’ll get to Florida, you’ll need to know how much time you have to travel. Other considerations are gas prices, cost of meals and hotels while on the road, and how many are in your traveling party. Most importantly, how far from Orlando, FL do you live? Let’s take a look at these popular travel options. Get ready to travel to Disney World We totally understand flying if you live somewhere very far away, like in California or Canada. But, if you are within a reasonable road tripping distance, it can be a tough call between driving and flying. Driving Having your own car with you at Disney World also gives you a certain amount of freedom. You can be completely on your own schedule, not having to wait for Disney transportation or a rideshare service to get where you want to go. Plus, you may love taking long road trips with the fam and find that it’s much cheaper for you to drive than fly. Let’s go to Disney World! Sure, that price at the gas tank might make you wince, but hundreds of dollars on gas for a road trip might be better than thousands of dollars on flights! Flying It’s still true that flight prices fluctuate all the time, and some days are still better for finding low prices. A good general rule of thumb is to book your flight somewhere between 1 and 3 months before the flight date. Booking earlier or later could result in higher prices. If you do book early and then find a cheaper flight later on, see what your airline’s cancelation policy is. It might be worth it to cancel your flight and re-book the cheaper one. Because prices change so frequently, grabbing up those deals when you see them is key! Look for flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays for the cheapest airfare. If your travel plans are very flexible, remember that January and February are the cheapest months for flights. When are you heading to Disney World? Orlando International Airport is one of the largest in the United States, so it makes sense that there would be a wide variety of flight options. On average, the Orlando Airport sees 850 flights per day. Not only that, but MCO serves 135 destinations both domestically and internationally. Complete Guide to Booking the CHEAPEST Flight to Disney World To/From Airport To Resorts Another thing you’ll need to think about is how you’re going to get from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to your hotel. Disney’s Magical Express was discontinued at the beginning of 2022, so now guests must find their own way to get between the two locations — and it’s going to cost you some $$$. From MCO, you’re looking at a 24-mile or 30-minute drive on average. Not too shabby to get to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Leaving Orlando International to Disney! But you have to cut across Orlando and traverse some pretty busy roads that are often slammed with traffic, so your trip might not always be that quick. Step-by-Step Guide: How to get to Disney World from the Orlando Airport Car Rental Rental car companies currently available at Terminals A, B, and C, include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Sixt, and Thrifty. Some of the rental car locations at the Orlando International Airport aren’t actually on site, so it could take you a while to get there from the airport, or to get from the drop off location to the airport. Make sure you know what the deal is ahead of time and give yourself extra time, so you don’t miss your flight! How will you get to Disney World? Renting a car can definitely be a good option for you if you’re flying to Disney World. But, it has its negatives, too. If you want to visit a lot of other places besides what’s on Disney World property, then it could be worth it. Rideshare But, if you’re only going to use a car to go to and from the airport, you might be better off using a rideshare service. Orlando Airport If you’re planning on using a rideshare service to go to or from the Orlando Airport, we’d suggest downloading both the Uber and Lyft apps to your phone so you can compare costs and arrival times. We’ve been noticing some VERY big differences when it comes to price between Uber and Lyft, and you don’t want to end up paying more than you have to because you think you only have one option. Shuttle Bus or Van Mears Connect: Mears Connect is essentially a Magical Express replacement service. It is run by Mears, the same folks that ran Magical Express for Disney. The service has two options — one that is a standard, shared service and another that is meant to be more “express,” though it is not private. Click here to learn all about Mears Connect. Sunshine Flyer Sunshine Flyer: These buses are themed around “old-fashioned passenger cars and train engines” and help get you in the headspace for a special trip as soon as you leave the airport! Since its inception, this convenient option has remained a shared bus for both you and other guests heading to Disney World. However, if you would prefer something a little more exclusive, the Sunshine Flyer has a new service line! They have introduced a new private transportation service called the Sunshine Flyer Direct that will provide direct transport from Orlando International Airport to Walt Disney World resorts. Unlike the classic motorcoach-themed buses, these rides will vary and guests can choose from a sedan, luxury SUV or sprinter van. You will also be able to select a pickup time and your driver will handle your baggage for you, even meeting you at baggage claim to help assist. Swanky! Reservations for The Sunshine Flyer must be made at least 4 days ahead of your arrival. Find out more about Mears Connect and The Sunshine Flyer! Taxi This can be a fast option when there, but can be expensive and you’ll need to consider your needs like car seats. Look for taxi signs With this handy guide, you’ll be on your way to a Disney World vacation in no time at all! Click here to see the BEST ways to get to Disney World now that the Magical Express is gone. DINING Walt Disney World has TONS of restaurants. We’re going to review the type of dining available, Mobile Order, and Advance Dining Reservations. Quick Service Quick-service spots are places where you generally order at the counter and then bring your food to a table yourself. You’ll also see it being called counter-service in some instances. Cosmic Ray These are not spots where you are waited on, like you would be at a table-service restaurant — think of it as fast food! They’re typically more casual and less expensive. BEST Value Fast Food Restaurants at Disney World for 2023 Mobile Order/Join Waitlist We also need to talk about Mobile Order! Mobile Order is a way to place and pay for your order ahead of time at many quick-service restaurants around Disney World. Mobile Order Sign You do this through the My Disney Experience app and it can help you skip those long lines you might have to wait in to order food! Table Service Table Service at Walt Disney World means diners are seated for the meal and waited on by servers, and can be enjoyed at every park, most Disney World Resort hotels, and in Disney Springs. Be Our Guest Restaurant There are formal and casual options, high-energy and relaxed options — and plenty in between. Some Table Service spots feature international cuisine (like Morimoto Asia and Sanaa), while others offer tasty comfort food or classic bbq (like Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ and 50’s Prime Time Cafe). Signature Dining Disney has a host of “signature” restaurants that definitely feel like a step above the regular table service meal. These restaurants serve some pretty pricey eats, but they’re often known for having some of the most spectacular food across Disney World. Queen Victoria’s Room at Victoria & Albert’s There are several restaurants on Disney World property that have won awards and been recognized for outstanding and unique eats. Some of these places have even been recognized by the Michelin Guide. Advance Dining Reservations Reservations can (and should) be made for table service spots. At many popular spots, reservations essentially become required if you want to dine there. Right now, you can make dining reservations 60 days ahead of your Disney trip. Reservations can book up pretty quickly for some spots — particularly those popular locations. Chef Mickey’s When we say “fast” we mean “gone 60 days out” type deal for big spots. So, if you’re looking to eat at Be Our Guest Restaurant, a character meal, or other popular places, you’ll want to book those as quickly as you can! Make/Find a Dining Reservation To reserve by phone, call 407-WDW-DINE (3463), answer a few voice-activated questions, and you’ll be transferred to a dining agent who will book your meals for you. You can also book online via the Disney World Website. Just enter your search specifics in the Disney search box, or use the Check Availability tool on any individual Table Service restaurant’s page. View Advance Dining Reservations in My Disney Experience ©Disney Additionally, dining reservations can be made replicating the steps above on the My Disney Experience app on your smart device. WDW TRANSPORTATION If you’re staying at a Disney World-owned/operated hotel, one of the best perks is FREE transportation between hotels and the parks. Depending on the hotel you’re staying at, different transportation options will be available. Some hotels even give you the chance to WALK to the parks. Buses Disney buses are the one mode of transportation that you can find all over the Disney World property. Disney Resort guests will find wait times for all destinations posted at the hotel’s bus stop stations. Bus Transportation is free at WDW! As a general rule, bus service from Disney Resort hotels to the theme parks begins 45 minutes prior to park opening and ends one hour after park close. Find our COMPLETE GUIDE to taking Disney World Bus transportation here! Skyliner The Disney Skyliner became Disney World’s newest transportation system when it officially made its BIG debut in September 2019! Skyliner This gondola system connects EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios with four Disney Resorts: Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort (which is also home to the Skyliner hub), Disney’s Rivera Resort, and Disney’s Pop Century and Art of Animation Resorts. Click HERE to learn EVERYTHING you need to know about the Disney Skyliner! Monorail It’s your “Highway in the Sky”… the Walt Disney World Monorail! The Monorail in EPCOT The Transportation and Ticket Center — often referred to simply as the TTC — serves as the “hub” for the three Monorail loops (or beams). The Resort Monorail brings guests to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the Transportation and Ticket Center, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The Express Monorail carries guests directly to and from the Transportation and Ticket Center and the Magic Kingdom. (Uniquely, the Express Monorail zooms through the inside of Disney’s Contemporary Resort!) Resort Monorail The EPCOT Monorail brings guests to and from the Transportation and Ticket Center and EPCOT. Boats Water Transportation offers some of the most scenic views of any Disney transportation option! The Ferryboat provides an additional way for guests to get to and from the Magic Kingdom and the Transportation and Ticket Center. Ferry between Magic Kingdom and TTC You can also cruise from several Disney World Resort hotels on a Water Taxi to some theme parks or Disney Springs! Minnie Vans A Minnie Van is a vehicle (at present, the program is using the Chevy Traverse SUV for parties up to six or other Chevy-brand vans for parties with wheelchairs or ECVs) designed unmistakably to resemble Minnie Mouse! Minnie Van Minnie Vans provide a direct and private ride from one location to another at Walt Disney World Resort! For transportation around Disney World Resort, each Minnie Van vehicle is able to accommodate up to 6 Guests and up to 2 complimentary child seats if needed. Click HERE to find out EVERYTHING you want to know about Minnie Vans! Ride Share/Taxis Although Disney World has an excellent transportation system, sometimes you might need to book a rideshare, especially if you’re in a rush or need to travel quickly from one Disney World location to another. Rideshare Pick Up Zone If you’re waiting on Disney transportation and it’s just not arriving to pick you up fast enough, rideshare will get there quickly and you’ll be on your way a lot faster. These options are particularly appealing when you just can’t take that Florida heat another minute and need that air-conditioned ride ASAP, or after your 14th loop around World Showcase, when your legs just can’t hold you any longer! 10 Disney World Rideshare Tips We Learned the Hard Way Parking You can also drive to and from the parks. If you’re staying at a Disney Hotel, you get free parking. Otherwise, just keep in mind that there is a cost per day to park at Disney World’s theme parks. All the lot names on the new tram signs If you hop to the other parks, you won’t need to pay again on the same day though — just keep that receipt! Also, parking is free at Disney Springs! Car Locator If you’re prone to losing your car in the parking lots (we’re guilty of this one all the time), you’ll want to check out the Car Locator feature on the My Disney Experience App! Car Locator sign in Disney World Keep in mind that this feature works best when you have your Location Services, Bluetooth, and notifications enabled. PHOTOS: The New Car Locator Service Is Now LIVE in the Disney World App Car Care Center Automobile repairs and roadside assistance can be utilized by calling 407-824-0976. Car rentals are also available from this onsite location. Car Care Center For extensive repairs, an appointment can be made. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations In addition to the parking lots at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park and Disney Springs, ChargePoint stations are available at Disney’s Coronado Springs, Disney’s Riviera, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. MY DISNEY EXPERIENCE First, we highly recommend that you download the My Disney Experience app. You’ll be able to use this app to check park times, make Disney Genie+ ride selections (more on that in a second), make dining reservations, check the wait times for the rides, look at park maps, and SO MUCH MORE. Compliment a Cast Member One thing we really wanted to mention is that if you have a question or need assistance during your Disney World trip, don’t hesitate to ask a Cast Member for help. Cast Members are INCREDIBLE and do a fantastic job helping guests with their needs. TRON Cast Member in NEW Costume In fact, guests can give special, personalized recognition to Cast Members by entering their first name, hometown (or college), and date of interaction! Don’t worry, though; if you didn’t see the Cast Member’s name, you can still leave a compliment by describing the location! Magicbands/MagicBand+/Magic Mobile If you walk around Disney World, you’re sure to see people with colorful bands on their wrists that look like this. MagicBands can be extremely convenient. But they are not required if you choose not to use them. Tron Lightcycle / Run MagicBand+ MagicBands can do a whole bunch of stuff! If you set it up online, you can link your park tickets to your MagicBand. Then, all you’ll need to do is scan your band (rather than take your ticket out of your wallet or pocket) to get into the parks. They can also be used to open your Disney World hotel room door, charge purchases to your Disney World hotel room, link PhotoPass photos, and more! It’s a mega-powerful tool right on your wrist. Click here to see our ULTIMATE GUIDE to MagicBands in Disney World! There’s also a new version called the MagicBand+ that gives you the chance to interact with the parks like never before! Halloween music! If you still want some of the benefits of a MagicBand without having to use one, you can utilize the MagicMobile service. MagicMobile essentially transforms your phone into a MagicBand! With MagicMobile, you can link your tickets, create a virtual pass, and scan your ticket at the parks straight from your phone (no MagicBand needed). MagicMobile Instructions MagicMobile is available now for Apple and Android devices. Click here for your step-by-step guide to setting up your MagicMobile pass. Genie/Genie+/Lightning Lanes A free feature is incorporated into the My Disney Experience app called Disney Genie. Disney Genie is a service that is essentially meant to help you plan your perfect Disney day. You’re able to tell the Disney Genie what types of attractions or things you’re interested in, and Genie will create a customized itinerary for you that is aimed at maximizing your time in the parks. You’re able to see forecasted wait times for your favorite rides, see personalized recommendations, and more. ©Disney Disney Genie+ is a PAID FastPass-like service. If you pay for this service, you’ll be able to see when the next available time is to use various rides’ Lightning Lanes (i.e. FastPass+ lanes). You will select the next available time to use the Lightning Lane for whatever ride you want, and when your time arrives, you can visit the ride and use the Lightning Lane (skipping the standby line).

For many families visiting Walt Disney World, eating a Mickey Waffle is a rite of passage! Mickey Waffle But waffles come in all shapes and sizes at Disney and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to choose between them. Lately, we’ve seen Mickey, Simba, Liege, and Belgian Waffles — just to name a few. There are even Mickey Waffles for plant-based diners. We’ve also seen this epic food item on Disney merchandise! Super cute! Today, we’re taking a look at the BEST Disney World Waffles and where you can find them. MAGIC KINGDOM Sleepy Hollow Refreshments The truly epic Nutella and Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich is a big ol’ crunchy, golden Belgian Waffle, fresh from the iron. Then, it’s slathered in gobs of chocolate-hazelnut Nutella spread which becomes slightly melty. Fruit and Nutella Waffle Lots of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and sliced banana make this too big to really eat like a sandwich — so grab a knife and fork, friends! Not to Brag…But Our Nutella Waffle Disney World HACK is A+ EPCOT Connections Cafe and Eatery Connections Cafe debuted the Liege Waffle — brioche dough with pearl and powdered sugar. The outside is actually encrusted with an amazing, pearl sugar. That combined with the warm waffle gave us some caramel flavors! What a beauty If you like Danish pastry, this is a fun spin on those. It’s also not super filling, so it would make a good snack or a light breakfast. Watch for specialty waffles, especially during EPCOT festivals. At Connections Eatery, the Liege Waffle gets fancy with Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Chocolate Sauce. Delicious! Liege Waffle at Connections Eatery With all the toppings, it’s definitely sweet when you eat it all together! Plus, this is big enough to share between a couple of people. Find Out How Liege Waffles Are Made! Space 220 Lounge Chicken and waffles in space — who knew?! Chicken on Waffle in SPACE The Chicken on Waffle dish is quite tasty, featuring a Smoked Bacon and Roasted Corn Waffle. DISNEY SPRINGS Many places in Disney World serve waffles on their brunch menu. One such restaurant is STK Orlando where you can order Hot chicken and Waffle. At The Boathouse, a Belgian Waffle is available. Or look for snacks at these locations… At the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in Disney Springs, don’t miss the Magical Sundae. Magical Sundae We love the chocolate-dipped waffle ears! Whatever flavors you’re into, there’s probably a bubble waffle sundae at Marketplace Snacks that will please your taste buds. Donald Bubble Waffle This is the place to find Mickey Bubble Waffle Sundaes. Scoot on over to Vivoli il Gelato for Liege waffles. Yes, you can even have a waffle with gelato for breakfast! Waffle with Salted Caramel Gelato Options include a Pearl Sugar, Strawberry, Nutella, Churro, or Gelato Waffle. And keep an eye out for specialty waffles — like this cookies and cream version! DISNEY RESORTS The Ale & Compass Restaurant at Disney’s Yacht Club offers a Dark Chocolate Waffle on the breakfast menu. Dark Chocolate Waffles These waffles are topped with a Dried Cherry Compote, Espresso-Mascarpone Cream, and Chocolate Shavings. Served for breakfast and lunch at The Grand Floridian Cafe, the Buttermilk-fried Chicken and Waffle comes with a hand-breaded chicken breast, a malted waffle, and a sriracha-honey drizzle. Chicken & Waffles It’s a little breakfast, a little lunch, a little heat, and a whole LOTTA YUM. Let’s move over to Disney’s Riviera Resort! There, we recommend the character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace, which offers Sour Cream Waffles with a Roasted Apple, Chantilly, and Orange-Maple Syrup. Sour Cream Waffles The waffles are less sweet than the classic Mickey waffles, probably because they’re made with sour cream. The maple syrup is *chef’s kiss* perfection, and adds a beautiful citrus flavor to the dish. Kids’ Mickey Waffle Dippers at Topolino’s Terrace For the kids, Topolino’s serves two Mickey-shaped waffles on-a-stick. They’re the same Mickey Waffle you’ll find elsewhere, but they’re extra-gussied up NEWS and REVIEW: Plant-Based Mickey Waffles BREAKFAST WAFFLES WITH CHARACTER Want more Mickey waffles? If you’re looking to load up on character waffles, you might want to consider visiting an all-you-care-to-eat family-style restaurant or a buffet, like Chef Mickey’s or ‘Ohana. Mickey waffles are usually light and fluffy with a hint of vanilla flavor. At Boma in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, choose from Mickey or Simba waffles. Boma Breakfast Buffet Or do like we do… have both! Hollywood Scoops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is servin’ up Mickey Waffles! Blueberry Mickey waffles?! Yes, please! You’ll get your waffles with blueberries, whipped cream, and syrup. At Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Mickey and Stitch have been known to appear on a waffle or two during the Best Friends Breakfast at ‘Ohana. Stitch Waffles They’re not particularly unique, but if you’re looking for a classic character waffle, these will satisfy you! At Whispering Canyon Cafe located at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, you’ll get both Mickey AND Minnie — fun! Mickey AND Minnie?! The waffles were your typical Mickey waffles — soft, fluffy, and sweet.

No matter what size you get ’em, how you top ’em, or where you eat ’em, Mickey Waffles are always known for being nicely brown and crisp on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside — as tasty as they are downright cute.

When it comes to preparing for the summertime heat at Disney World, having comfortable and breezy clothing is the key to staying as cool and relaxed as possible while you’re walking around in the parks under that hot Florida sun. Magic Kingdom Outdoor Voices is one athleisure brand that has become increasingly popular for Disney Parks visitors over the last couple of years, with comfortable and breezy athletic wear that doubles as a cute park outfit. Specifically, we’ve seen tons of visitors rocking the Exercise Dress (some of us here at DFB even own a few ourselves!), which is the OG version of the workout dresses that have been super popular recently because of their style, versatility, and built-in shorts that, yes, allow you to settle into your seat on Space Mountain without a care in the world. (IYKYK.) If you’re a fan of Outdoor Voices, or if you’re looking to give the brand a try during your next park trip, you’re in luck, because Outdoor Voices and Disney just dropped a collaborative collection together — and it’s available in the parks AND online. We first noticed the collection when we walked into Port of Entry at EPCOT and saw this sign, explaining the mission behind the collection. How cute is this? Disney x Outdoor Voices sign We then saw two displays in the shop with all the items available. One of the displays highlighted the Minnie Mouse and Goofy items.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Have you ever been to Disney World in August? Gotta be prepared for those really sunny days! Let me paint a picture for you. It’s 98°. You’re standing in an outdoor queue for a ride with a 2-hour wait time, desperately trying to inch closer to the fan that’s fifteen feet ahead of you. The Dole Whip you got earlier in the day to cool off melted into a sticky mess as you ate it, and the evidence is on your shirt. Listen, we love Disney World, but in the summer it can be ROUGH. So, sometimes we do some questionable things to survive the heat — but don’t knock ’em til you try ’em! The DFB staff has spent a lot of time in the parks in the brutal summer sun. So, how do we manage? Well, let’s take a look at some of the crazy things we’ve done. 🫣 1. Play in the “Kids” Splash Pads Listen, just because we’re adults, doesn’t mean we don’t need a fun way to cool off too! It is Disney World, after all. One of our favorites is the Casey Jr. Splash ‘n’ Soak Station in Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom. Casey Soak Station There are plenty of water jets, so there’s room for all of the kids and you to cool off. If you’re in EPCOT, the Liquid Layer splash pad is also a good option. The jets aren’t as high for us taller adults, but they’ll get the job done. Liquid Layer There are a few misters and other smaller fountains around the parks as well, like the Cool Ship misters in Tomorrowland and the Tiki misters in Adventureland, both in Magic Kingdom. Tomorrowland misters If you’re coming to Disney World in the summer, you might want to take advantage of these water areas (and bring some water-friendly shoes!) 2. Use Cooling Tools That Are Less-Than-Fashionable It’s fun to plan a perfect park outfit for all of those Disney World photo-ops, but in the summer, sometimes looking put-together really just isn’t on the table. Do we take advantage of neck fans, cooling towels, and misting fans? Absolutely, we do. Neck Fan! If you think you’re too cool for such devices, you’re probably setting yourself up to stare longingly at the family in line next to you who did bring one, hoping to catch any runaway droplets that come your way. You can get portable neck fans on Amazon, and we’d highly recommend doing so before your next trip! Click here to buy a neck fan on Amazon. And while we’re at it, sometimes you need to soak a cooling towel in cold water and just wear it over your head for a minute. Or 10, we’re not judging. Cooling Towels Trust us, you’re going to forget all about looking “cool” when you’re sweating in places you didn’t even know you could. Click here to buy cooling towels on Amazon. 3. Camp Out in the Air Conditioning Does Disney want you to hang out in its stores? Absolutely. But sometimes we’ve stayed in them looooong past the time we decided we weren’t going to buy anything. Any place that has air conditioning is like an oasis when you’re in Disney World! Creations Shop in EPCOT Speaking of cold rooms, sometimes you just gotta sit through the Hall of Presidents four times in a row to cool off and gather your senses. Hall of Presidents There’s no shame in it. Traipsing around Disney World is a lot of work in the summer heat. 4. Stay in the Bathroom … Longer Than Necessary Sometimes the park is so busy that the only place you’ll find an air-conditioned space and some privacy is in the bathroom. So yes, we are guilty of sitting on the toilet for an extended period of time occasionally. It’s NECESSARY sometimes, don’t judge us! Toy Story Land restrooms And while you’re in there, sometimes you just need to splash some water on your face to cool off. 5. Abandon the Park Lastly, sometimes the best way to stay survive the heat is to just throw up your hands, say “No park is worth this,” and head back to your resort pool. Caribbean Beach Resort pool Disney Resort pools generally still have that Disney vibe, so you’re not completely giving up on the experience. Sometimes ordering a fruity drink, taking a dip, and going back to the parks once the sun goes down is the best way to enjoy your trip. Relax by your resort pool! So yes, have we done some unpopular things in Disney World to beat the heat? Definitely. But, Florida gets hot, so you need to get by somehow! What are your favorite tricks?
