Most family-sized concepts focus on the idea of a family having four or fewer individuals. But if you have a bit (or MUCH) larger family, you’ve already learned that one-size doesn’t always fit all. One-Bedroom Villa Living Room Area ©Disney Are you planning a trip to Disney World with a BIG group? You might be wondering how to find a hotel that can accommodate everyone in your party without sacrificing space — or your budget. Yes, it IS possible to find a hotel on Disney World property that can work for big groups of people! There are options ranging from the lower end of the price spectrum up to a HUGE splurge, so you might want to look at your budget and check out our list! Polynesian DVC Studio Let’s dive into these, starting with the Value options and working out way up to the big dollar option at the Deluxe level. Value Resorts All-Star Music Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is a value resort, which means it typically has some of the lower costs of hotels in Disney World, and the family suites are a really great option if you’re on a strict budget but still want Disney perks, especially if you’re planning on driving to and from the parks. The family suites can accommodate up to six adults, and they include one queen bed and two queen-size murphy beds. Jazz-themed area In addition to two bathrooms, the All-Star Music family suites also have a kitchenette, so you can cut down on eating costs! This option starts around $323 per night. Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is another value resort with a variety of family suites available! The buildings themed to Cars, Finding Nemo, and The Lion King have suites that accommodate up to six adults, with rooms including one queen bed, one double-size murphy bed, and one double-size sleeper sofa as two bathrooms and a kitchenette. Family Suite at Art of Animation — Living Area Art of Animation has the benefit of being located on the Disney Skyliner line, but it can also be on the the pricier side of Disney’s value resorts, with the family suites typically starting from $549 per night — sometimes more during peak visit times. Moderate Resorts The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort cabins are a popular spot for large groups, allowing groups to rent side-by-side cabins if they need extra room. Each cabin can sleep up to six adults, and they come with one queen bed, one double-size sleeper sofa, and one bunk bed. You will also find a kitchen (including a dishwasher and two burners!) and a full refrigerator. If the cabins aren’t your thing, you can also consider the RV or camping options at Fort Wilderness, and in either case it’s a great area for your group to to explore. At night’s end, everyone can sit around a fire pit and relax after a long day in Disney World! Prices start at $549 per night, so it’s not a huge difference from Art of Animation, but it offers more privacy. Read more about Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort restaurants here! Port Orleans — Riverside Resort If your group is more in the medium-size category with five or fewer people, Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort can be a great option! You can opt for a child-size pull-down bed and two queen beds in select rooms. Port Orleans Refurbished Room in Alligator Bayou ©Disney Better yet, the Port Orleans Resorts also provide boat transportation to Disney Springs. Why is this important? Sometimes in a group, you need to consider everyone’s interests and needs — and not everyone always wants to do the same thing. Choosing a resort with alternative transportation options is a great way to keep everyone happy! Prices start at $294 per night.

We get it. When you spend so much time and money on a Disney World trip, you want it to be as close to perfect as it can be. Cinderella Castle The thing is, sometimes not-so-magical things happen in the world’s most magical place. Rides close temporarily, My Disney Experience has issues, crowds take over the parks, and more. These things could make you mad, and rightfully so. Some people, though, get mad over the oddest things in Disney World. Change Change is NOT easy, especially if you like things a certain way in Disney World and have been going to the park for YEARS. Over the past three years, there has been a LOT of change at the resort. We’ve heard from our readers time and again about how much they dislike Genie+, although it’s been around since 2021. Genie+ on the My Disney Experience app Many guests also get mad about the Park Pass Reservation system, which has been around since 2020 (and doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon — if ever — although the rules have since been relaxed a bit for Annual Passholders). We also see guests get mad about the park hopping after 2PM rule that’s been around since 2021 and Magical Express going away. Remember Magical Express? Perhaps the BIGGEST change we saw the most complaints about, though, was when EPCOT introduced its 50th Anniversary nighttime show, Harmonious. Many guests really didn’t like the barges and other equipment that took up residence around World Showcase Lagoon. Harmonious barge construction However, those barges and all that Harmonious equipment are slowly being removed from World Showcase Lagoon, now that EPCOT Forever has returned as the temporary nighttime show, with a new 100th anniversary show on the way. In general, lots of people get upset about any and all changes happening in Disney World. And with the parks and hotels changing so frequently, we understand that the constant updates can be frustrating! A Full List of Changes Announced for Disney World Hotels Paper Straws You might think that something as small as a straw wouldn’t elicit such an emotional response from people, but you would be wrong. Disney has been switching to paper straws for many of its drinks, and, well, we do get that drinking from a paper straw can be challenging. Paper Straw at Joffrey’s Coffee Kiosks It’s all to create to make things more environmentally friendly in Disney World, and there’s a very easy way to get around it. Bring your own metal straws with you to the parks. You can rinse them out when you’re done AND reuse them, which is also environmentally sound. Don’t like that paper straw? Bring your own! Other things Disney has done recently to be more environmentally friendly include ditching the small bottles of shampoo and conditioner in the hotels for larger refillable bottles of toiletries. If you don’t like that, it’s easy just to bring your own preferred shampoo and conditioner from home in travel-friendly bottles. See Where You Can Find A SUGARCANE Straw in Disney World Weather One change that can grind many Disney World visitors’ gears is the weather. The weather in Florida is unpredictable, and understanding that and preparing for it is your best defense against it ruining your trip. Check the weather forecast BEFORE you leave to get an idea of what temperatures to pack for. Rainy day in Animal Kingdom But weather can also ruin your plans even if you ARE prepared. Outdoor rides will often close in bad weather. To get around that, have a backup plan of things to do or other things to ride. Preparation here IS key. You can’t control the weather, but you can control how you’ve planned for it.

At the parks, no matter where you look, you’ll find people taking pictures of everything. Be it pics of snacks, decor, or favorite rides, the parks are a great place to capture those vacation memories. PhotoPass photographer Usually we see a ton of people taking pictures, but today, one part of Magic Kingdom was blocked off for a professional photo shoot! While we were walking down Main Street, U.S.A., we looked to the right down Center Street and saw that part of the area was blocked off and filled with photography equipment and lights. Private Photo Shoot on Main Street USA This photo shoot was likely for a promotional event, and the area was blocked off by a rope with a sign that said: “reserved.” Don’t worry — you could still access the shops in the area via entrances on Main Street. Private Photo Shoot on Main Street USA Have you ever thought about having your Disney vacation photos taken by a professional? The photo shoot we saw wasn’t one of the Capture Your Moment sessions (the private photo shoots you can reserve with Disney PhotoPass photographers) — those don’t come with spotlights and light diffusers. But you can have some pretty fancy photos taken in the parks! ©Disney Capture Your Moment photo sessions are add-on extras that you reserve in advance through the Disney World website. You will be able to have a private photo shoot with a Disney PhotoPass photographer. As far as pricing, one session will cost $99, and you can have up to 8 guests. Once you check in and are escorted to your photo location, the clock starts running for your 20-minute photo shoot. ©Disney The most important thing to note is that the photo downloads are not included in the cost of the session, but if you have the Memory Maker add-on, you will be able to access your pictures at no extra cost. Individual photos are also available for purchase.

We’ve seen all kinds of weather conditions in Disney World! Rainy Day in Hollywood Studios From extreme heat to surprising cold to hurricane season, we feel like we’ve seen it all. And since Disney World is located in hurricane country, the parks get an excessive amount of rain throughout the year. Because of that, we’ve seen some pretty wild flooding in Disney World, and we’re here to talk about it! Hollywood Studios Gift Shop Floods One of the strangest floods we’ve seen was back in 2022 in Hollywood Studios. In June, right in the middle of the stormy summer weather, we stopped by Celebrity 5&10 to find the floor completely flooded. Cast Members were having to block off the area with cones and attempt to push the water back out the door. The floor was blocked due to flooding! The flooding definitely made it difficult to do your shopping! And it took quite a while to get all the water out while it continued to downpour outside. We’ve seen similar instances of flooding in front of Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Magic Kingdom. Those puddles can get ankle- or calf-deep, so watch out and come prepared with proper footwear and ponchos! Guests getting their ponchos on for the storm. So if you’re heading to Disney World between April and October, be prepared for some possible flash flooding that comes with hurricane season. We’ll make sure to keep you updated anytime that flood warnings are issued, so that you can stay safe during your vacation! Click Here to See What Happens When Disney World Floods!

In honor of the month, we are proud to share a little more about Guillermo, a Custodial cast member at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and shine a spotlight on the stories of our cast members with autism.

Sure, Disney Parks are FULL of characters with a LOT of character. Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland But sometimes the characters we like watching the most aren’t in costumes. Instead, they’re actually animals, doing the unpredictable things animals do. Did we lose our minds when sea urchins at EPCOT wore Mickey hats? Yes, yes, we did. We even recently shared a post about the animals that have been at Animal Kingdom since DAY ONE. Well, now, we have even more animal antics to share with you. Okay, so if you’ve been to a Disney Park, you’ve probably met the REAL VIPs of Disney World, the Disney ducks. Daisy and Donald No, not THOSE ducks — sorry, Donald and Daisy — we love you, but this post isn’t about you! We’re talking about THESE ducks. Disney ducks That’s right, we’re going to tell you about some Disney ducks, which — let’s admit it — we’re all a little obsessed with. We’ve seen Disney ducks getting their own FREE VIP tour of Disneyland (because they are the REAL VIPs of Disney Parks). We’ve also been witness to a duck date. Well, now, we’re going to share the latest in Disney duck antics, and you better just be prepared to look like this: ©Giphy During a recent performance of Disneyland’s Magic Happens parade, some REAL magic happened when a Mama duck and her ducklings crashed the parade, causing the parade to LITERALLY stop to let Mama and babies go by. Some Cast Members helped to escort the ducks across the street, where they continued their own parade through the park. Also, check out Miguel, who seems to be waving at the little family. The ducks received a lot of fanfare once they had passed and pretty much stole the spotlight from the ACTUAL parade happening. Yes, we know who the REAL superstars at Disneyland are. We’re also going to commend the Cast Members who ran in to make sure these ducks had a safe trip across the street. Disney Ducks So if you find yourself in a Disney Park soon, be sure to keep an eye out for what we think is one of the cutest character sightings you’ll see.

Planning a trip to Walt Disney World can be complicated — especially when you’re trying to choose between 25 resort hotels. If you’ve narrowed down your choices to these hotels, how do you make your final selection? Animal Kingdom Lodge Choosing between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge isn’t an easy task. Well, let’s dive into the deets to see which one is right for you! Whether room size, location, pools, and/or restaurants are most important to you, we share the information that you’ll need to make an informed decision. After all, we want you to stay at the hotel that is best for your family! Let’s get started and look at all the details so that you can plan your Disney trip with confidence. Wilderness Lodge There’s no doubt that Disney vacations are expensive, and no one wants buyer’s remorse when it comes to what can usually be the most EXPENSIVE part of your Disney trip. The best way to tackle such a massive decision like this is with as much logic as possible, so we broke down this comparison into five categories: Common Ground, Theme/Rooms, Pools, Food, and Transportation. Views from Animal Kingdom Lodge Let’s get started on your vacation research. COMMON GROUND Before we mention their differences, let’s take a look at what Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge have in common. First, both offer Deluxe Resort and Deluxe Villa accommodations with a similar resort layout. The Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Villas can be booked by Disney Vacation Club members or cash-paying guests. You’ll discover luxurious amenities and unique themeing at both hotels. Plus, both boast many of the same perks. The Lobby of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort The most expensive rooms at both resorts are large villas. And standard hotel rooms are approximately 344 sq. ft. For the Wilderness Lodge, that means that for the cheapest room at the cheapest time to visit, you can expect to pay around $453 per night (not accounting for any tax or current discounts), and it goes up to $5,128 per night (not accounting for any tax or current discounts) for the most expensive rooms at the most expensive time to visit. (Based on 2023 rates) For the Animal Kingdom Lodge, that means that for the cheapest room at the cheapest time to visit, you can expect to pay around $469 per night (not accounting for any tax or current discounts), and it goes up to $3,792 per night (not accounting for any tax or current discounts) for the most expensive rooms at the most expensive time to visit. (Based on 2023 rates) Staircase in Jambo House Let’s dig a little deeper to see what you can get for the money at these resorts! Extra Theme Park Hours Benefits for Disney World Resort Hotel Guests THEME/ROOMS These are not your standard hotels. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you’ll discover an exotic African escape with safari animals! A stay at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge transports you to a Northwestern National Park Lodge. Animal Kingdom Lodge is even more stunning during the holiday season But whether your stay takes you to the exotic savanna or to the rustic wilderness, you’ll find that both of these options provide delightful Disney amenities. Wilderness Lodge Welcome to the beauty and grandeur of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. At Wilderness Lodge, you’ll discover towering redwoods, pristine free-flowing creeks, artifacts, and monuments to American history and its inhabitants. The inspiration for this resort is pulled from various lodges and resorts of the national parks like Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone National Park and Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite National Park. Guests feel the full majesty of nature once they enter the grand lobby — soaring ceilings, the massive 82-foot tall Grand Canyon-inspired fireplace, and 55-foot totem poles. Wilderness Lodge really shines during the holiday season! And the lobby delivers on that jaw-dropping “oh wow” moment (especially around the holidays). Headboards The deluxe Wilderness Lodge standard rooms received a little facelift, like the Contemporary and Polynesian rooms have. So, when you stay here, you’ll get to experience a bit more streamlined and updated decor that is both modern and rustic. Wilderness Lodge also has two different Disney Vacation Club accommodations, Boulder Ridge and Copper Creek, which include villas ranging from basic studio rooms all the way up to multi-room cabins overlooking Bay Lake. Bathroom Some of these cabins face the Contemporary Resort and may provide some obstructed views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo! And welcome to Animal Kingdom Lodge! This is more than your typical hotel, and honestly, it’s beyond the standard of a typical Disney hotel. Definitely, the only Disney resort where you can wake up and view some giraffes out your window, and drink coffee or snack on some Zebra Domes on your balcony while watching real-live zebras. Time to Grab a Seat at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Disney also brings in Cultural Representatives from countries around Africa to share their countries’ unique stories, culture, art, and history. Off of the lobby, there is an observation room where guests can appreciate artifacts from African exploration or just sit and enjoy the animals on the savanna. Animal Kingdom Lodge during the holiday season And the lobby delivers on that jaw-dropping “oh wow” moment (especially around the holidays). The Animal Kingdom Lodge standard rooms received a little facelift. So, when you stay here, you’ll get to experience a bit more streamlined and updated decor that is both modern and rustic. Standard rooms at 344 sq. ft. sleep four people. Animal Kingdom Lodge Room Animal Kingdom Lodge is split into two separate buildings that are quite a distance from each other. You’ll find Disney Vacation Club accommodations at Kidani Village, with villas ranging from basic studio rooms all the way up to multi-room villas overlooking Pembe (nyala, impala, waterbuck, spur-winged geese, ground hornbill, red river hogs, ostrich, and okapi) and Sunset (male giraffes, bongos, impalas, Thompsons gazelles, ostriches, ankole cattle, waterbuck, African crown cranes, stork, and blue cranes) Savannas. Giraffe at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House has hotel rooms and villas; these look out onto the Sunset, Uzima (giraffes, impalas, kudus, bongos, blesboks, and Thompsons gazelles), and Arusha (pelicans, geese, giraffe, ankole cattle, zebra, wildebeest, eland, and gemsbok) Savannas. All the savannas have a plethora of beautiful animals. Results Animal Kingdom Lodge transports you to the African continent, while Wilderness Lodge delivers a Northwestern escape. Both resorts deliver beautifully on their themes. So, this really could be down to what type of vibe you want on your vacation. Speaking to room decor, we like the updates at both resorts. For overall theme, we have to give the edge to Animal Kingdom Lodge. Every nook and cranny showcases exotic decor, artwork, and furnishings. Plus, how can we forget that there are roaming animals! PHOTOS: The Halls at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Are DECKED Out for Christmas! POOLS Pools, splash pads, hot tubs, and lounge chairs, a vacation just doesn’t feel complete without spending some time by the pool. Which of these resorts is the aquatic champion of water lounging? Only one way to find out… The Wilderness Lodge hosts two pools: the Copper Creek Pool and the Boulder Ridge Pool. Both pools have the natural feel of swimming in a spring. Copper Creek is the main pool, complete with a water slide and the Copper Creek splash area. Time to swim! Copper Creek pool overlooks the serene Bay Lake and resort-iconic geyser, Fire Rock Geyser, which spouts off every hour on the hour between 7am and 10pm. (But Cast Members will turn it off for inclement weather, including particularly windy days.) Wilderness Lodge Geyser Boulder Ridge pool is a quieter pool closer to the Boulder Ridge section of the resort with rusticly themed cabanas, and close proximity to the Geyser Point Bar & Grill. Animal Kingdom Lodge AKL (as we like to call it) is not to be outdone in the pool category; it hosts two pools: the Samawati Springs Pool and the Uzima Springs Pool. Both pools have the exotic feel of swimming in a natural spring. Uzima Springs pool is amazing. This oasis is 11,000 square feet. It includes a large free-form, zero-entry swimming pool (gradual like a beach where you can wade in slowly). Animal Kingdom Lodge Pool Samawati Springs Pool has a 67-foot water slide and a children’s wading pool. There are two private hot tubs, tons of seating in comfy loungers, and tables and umbrellas. Samawati Springs Pool Oh, and of course, the Pool Bars are nearby for hydration purposes. Results Both have two, relaxing pools, and both have pool bars, lounge chairs, and splash areas. Again, it might boil down to just what your style is. Do you want to soak in a natural spring with lakeside views, a majestic geyser, and surrounded by serene, wooded trails? Or something a bit more exotic with roaming flamingos just steps away? These two really make the choice difficult! Geyser at Wilderness Lodge If we had to choose, we’d pick Animal Kingdom Lodge as we find the pool areas to feel more secluded. 10 Hidden Secrets About Disney World Pools FOOD Because we are Disney FOOD Blog, we take food seriously. Very. Seriously. And we love it all. We love the cheap, comfort of plastic cheese, and we love the high-brow sophistication of a wine flight or a multi-course pre-fixe meal. We don’t discriminate; we are a lover of all foods. Since food is SO important, let’s see how these resorts stack up against each other in the restaurant category. Wilderness Lodge Wilderness Lodge has five dining spots for you to nibble and nosh your way through the wilderness. Geyser Point Bar & Grill located near the Copper Creek Springs Pool at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge — is a unique space in that it offers two different kinds of service for guests… all in one cozy and lovely setting. Geyser Point Bar & Grill It blends two different dining styles (a Table Service lounge and a Quick Service walk-up counter) and two different menus. The Featured Cocktail list at the lounge boasts beverages unique to Geyser Point, featuring spirits from Northwest distilleries in keeping with the theme of the Resort. Hearty appetizers can be ordered from the lounge as well, while full entrees are available at the connected Counter Service. Bison Cheeseburger The open-air restaurant offers gorgeous waterfront views and a fireplace for cool evenings. And don’t sleep on Geyser Point, it’s a destination-worthy eatery with amazing burgers, queso, and unique cocktails, all in a serene atmosphere. Formerly a signature restaurant, Artist Point’s setting and menu have been entirely transformed with a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs theme for a different experience. Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White is a Character Meal! Guests enjoy a prix-fixe meal and can look forward to Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy stopping by throughout the dinner. And The Evil Queen is even present for a unique photo opportunity. Snow White Shhh…..don’t tell anyone our secret. Territory Lounge is one of our favorite hidden gems at Disney World! If your idea of a good lounge is one with cozy seating, specialty cocktails (as well as beer and even wine flights), and some of the best lounge eats on Walt Disney World property, then Territory Lounge is your place. Territory Lounge snacks Boasting its own unique menu of lounge noshes, the Disney Food Blog gives it a hearty thumbs-up. The Territory Lounge is a great place to grab a light dinner and drinks with friends in an atmosphere that’s warm and inviting. Hearty comfort food in a warm, rustic setting…. Welcome to Roaring Fork! Roaring Fork offers a variety of hearty entrees and counter service basics (along with grab-and-go options) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a serene atmosphere, with seating both indoors and out. Bear Mousse Cake Guests will even find specialty coffee drinks available, and fans of Disney cupcakes will often find some really fun and unique options here that change with the seasons. The other Table Service option at the Wilderness Lodge is Whispering Canyon. Whispering Canyon Cafe is one of Disney World’s “funnest” restaurants ! With a crew of wayward servers intent on making you laugh and all-you-can-eat down home grub served skillet-style (guests may also choose from a la carte selections), this restaurant is a great one to book for a casual good time — especially if you’re with a group! Whispering Canyon Cafe Whispering Canyon is renowned for its raucous hijinks like wooden pony races, massive straw drops, and tables overloaded with ketchup bottles. It is one of Disney’s dining options that put the fun front-and-center, and also provides some consistently tasty eats. Click HERE for our Complete Guide to Eating at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Animal Kingdom Lodge Animal Kingdom Lodge has some very unique restaurants! A Table Service option at the Jambo House is Boma. Boma continually emerges on the “favorite restaurants” lists of many Disney guests! The popular buffet at Boma gives visitors the opportunity to sample flavorful African dishes while also dining on some American favorites during breakfast or dinner. Inside Boma We give two thumbs up to this restaurant, and we always find something new to try here! And the pièce de résistance: Jiko. Jiko — The Cooking Place is a Signature Dining Experience (which is Disney-speak for fancy, schmancy), hands-down, one of the most romantic and delicious restaurants on Disney World property. We can highly recommend this one if you enjoy excellent, gourmet food and a lovely and tranquil atmosphere. Oak-grilled Filet at Jiko Sharing tastes of Africa with a special Jiko flourish, this restaurant doesn’t offer a great view or any characters, but it does showcase truly beautiful food — and the Animal Kingdom Lodge savanna is right outside. Maji Pool Bar is located near the Samawati Springs Pool at Kidani Village, and Uzima Springs Pool Bar is over at the Jambo House pool. Both are pretty standard pool bars with some unique African beers and tasty nibbles, but nothing truly destination-worthy. Maji Pool Bar The Mara is named after the Masai Mara National Reserve in Africa. This quick service restaurant located in Jambo House is sure to please all appetites with a taste of Africa, as well as American favorites. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is located next to the Resort’s Uzima Springs pool area. Guests can dine indoors or take their meals poolside, or to a small area offering shaded tables outside. Shrimp Bowl from The Mara Unique items, including Bobotie and Breakfast Quinoa are served alongside classic Disney dishes like Mickey Waffles for Breakfast. Lunch and Dinner feature the truly tasty African Potjie (a flavorful stew) among the options, which also include counter service favorites like Chicken Nuggets, Burgers, and Flatbreads. The “Grab & Go” market area features snacks, desserts (including the spot’s famous Zebra Domes!), bottled drinks, breakfast pastries, specialty coffees, and fruit. The Mara also offers a selection of African and international wines, beers, cocktails, and even choose-your-own-flavor smoothies. Zebra Domes from The Mara Tucked into the Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Kidani Village, Sanaa, which means “Work of Art” in Swahili, is a beautiful restaurant serving a fusion of African and Indian cuisine made with authentic cooking methods like slow-roasting and tandoori oven cooking. While Sanaa is a table service restaurant serving lunch and dinner, the spot offers the Sanaa Kuamsha Breakfast in the mornings — a quick-service experience for which reservations are not required. Pork Shank The best part: the view from the restaurant is of Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Sunset Savanna — enjoy the ever-changing scenery of some of the most beautiful African plains animals you’ve ever seen. Sanaa Bread Service P.S. Don’t miss Sanaa’s Indian-style Bread Service, served with NINE different dipping accompaniments! Victoria Falls and Cape Town Lounge are cozy lounges in Jambo House near Boma and Jiko. Enjoy a glass of South African wine, or indulge in your favorite martini, beer, or mixed drink. It’s a great place to hang while waiting for a table at Boma or Jiko. Or just stop in before you head to (or after you return from) the parks to grab a quick bite from the unique appetizer menu, including crisp breads and African dips, marinated olives, and more. Victoria Falls Lounge Cape Town Lounge serves appetizers and pairings of African wines along with hand-crafted cocktails, dessert wines, and more. Guests may also order from the full Jiko menu and dine at the bar. Best Animal Kingdom Lodge Restaurants Results The Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge list some unique menu items and you’ll find quality at both locations. Wilderness Lodge offers a more casual vibe with Whispering Canyon Cafe and character dining at Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, while Animal Kingdom Lodge offers signature dining at Jiko — The Cooking Place. And we love the peaceful retreat, Geyser Point Bar and Grill! Yet, Boma hosts our favorite breakfast buffet. Sanaa has become a cult classic with its epic bread service and just as epic savanna views. And Jiko offers a menu, including that tender filet, that makes our mouths water just thinking about it. Clearly, Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of the top dining destinations at Walt Disney World. Jungle Juice at Boma We advise looking at the menus to see which resort has more food that appeals to your traveling party. TRANSPORTATION Do these resorts offer anything different when it comes to transportation? Let’s see!! Wilderness Lodge If Magic Kingdom is your destination, there is boat transportation that sails through Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon to the front steps of the Magic Kingdom. There is also a bus option at peak times or when the weather doesn’t permit boat travel. Boat Dock at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge If EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, or Disney Springs is your destination, then you can board one of Disney’s buses to transport you to these locations. Bus transportation at Wilderness Lodge For complimentary Walt Disney World transportation, guests staying at the Wilderness Lodge will have to rely primarily on bus and boat transportation. However, it is possible to boat to Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Contemporary Resort, then take the monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center. From there, you can transfer to an EPCOT-destined monorail. Animal Kingdom Lodge If you want to visit any of the Disney Parks (even the nearby Animal Kingdom), the only option for free Disney transportation is a bus. Disney Bus Transportation from Magic Kingdom Now, Animal Kingdom Lodge is already the furthest resort from the Disney Parks (except Animal Kingdom) and relying solely on bus transportation makes it feel every inch of that distance. And no one really looks forward to standing in those lines at the end of a park day only to be packed in like sardines with your fellow Animal Kingdom Lodgers once that bus does arrive. However, the remote location does add to the resort’s ambiance. Guests staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge can also use ride share, taxis, and Minnie Vans at an extra cost in case you find yourself in a hurry. Results Unless you are spending most of your time at your resort, Wilderness Lodge boasts a more central location including boat service to Magic Kingdom. Boat transport to Magic Kingdom Animal Kingdom is in a remote location and relies on bus transportation to all destinations. HOW in the world do I get around the WORLD? THE WINNER! So, who is the ultimate winner in the Wilderness Lodge vs. Animal Kingdom battle? We hate to say it, but it depends! You’ll need to decide which theme, dining, pools, and transportation best suits your next vacation to Walt Disney World. Since their price point is similar and both resorts are popular, we don’t envy your decision. Sanaa We love both resorts, but we give a slight edge to Disney’s Animal Kingdom due to dining, pools, and one-of-a-kind themeing. Contemporary vs. BoardWalk Inn Disney World Resort Guide 2023 Our favorite people over at Small World Vacations are ready to help you save time, headaches, and best of all, money, when you book your Disney trip or cruise.

There’s a NEW menu item at McDonald’s…sort of. It’s actually a very classic and traditional menu item but also still very new. Confused? We can explain. Let’s go to McDonald’s! McDonald’s recently announced that Big Mac sauce will now be served in condiment containers, meaning you can get the sauce on the side and use it to dip your fries and nuggets in or just to add more sauce to your burger. We headed to the nearest McDonald’s to check out this new development, and we were especially excited to find out how this sauce would taste on McDonald’s food besides the classic Big Mac. Is this a McDonald’s GAME CHANGER? We were a little shocked by what we found! We ordered the Big Mac Sauce on the McDonald’s app. ©McDonald’s One container of the sauce costs $0.35 a la carte, or you can get it as the dipping sauce for your nuggets. (Note that most other sauce containers at McDonald’s — like BBQ sauce, Sweet n Sour sauce, and Ranch — are listed as free on the app.) ©McDonald’s Each container is the same size as the normal sauce containers at McDonald’s. Big Mac Sauce The plastic is bright blue, and the lid is silver with blue writing. Ready to try it? We ordered our sauce with a Big Mac meal so that we could compare the sauce from the cup to the one on the actual sandwich (and so that we’d have fries to dip in the sauce, of course). Big Mac Meal Let’s dig in! On first inspection, the sauce looks to be the exact same as the one on the burger. Inside the packet We compared the two and found that the one in the container is maybe a little tangier than the one on the burger (probably just because the one on the burger is combined with other flavors), but overall they’re pretty much identical. Sauce Now for the real test — how is this sauce on FRIES? Could this forever change how we eat those delicious McDonald’s fries? Time to try it! You might be surprised to hear that we were NOT impressed by the fries-Big Mac sauce combo. Dipping our fries The sauce is pretty mild, and although it has an interesting, pickle-y taste, it just doesn’t add a whole lot of flavor to the French fry experience. We know — we were disappointed, too. WHAT? We found ourselves wishing we had some more interesting sauce, like maybe the signature sauce over at Raising Canes (which is another mayo-based sauce that just has more flavor to it). BUT does this mean that the Big Mac sauce is useless? Not exactly. Big Mac Sauce It came in handy when we opened up our Big Mac and saw that the sauce on the burger was unevenly distributed and there just wasn’t much there at all. Not much sauce there Never fear — we had plenty on the side to add to the burger! Loaded it on! We think that the extra sauce will definitely come in handy not only for Big Macs but for any McDonald’s burger. You could even use it to plus up a different burger here. For example, the Big Mac costs $5.39 (for just the sandwich)… ©McDonald’s …but there are lots of cheaper options for other burgers, like the cheeseburger for $2.19 or even the double cheeseburger for $2.99. ©McDonald’s Grab one of those and some Big Mac sauce for a discount version of the iconic burger! Of course, it won’t be quite the same, but you could save a couple bucks and still get the familiar sauce. Overall, the sauce was not our favorite for French Fry dipping, but we thought it was great for taking our Big Mac experience to the next level. We haven’t tried the sauce with nuggets yet, so that combination may work better than the fries did! Big Mac If you’re interested in trying out this sauce while you’re at Disney World, remember that there’s a McDonald’s location on Disney World property! It’s located close to Disney’s All Star Resorts. Stay tuned to DFB for more updates on all the latest foodie news. Click here to check out a NEW menu item at McDonald’s.

When planning for a Disney World vacation, there are certain things you should ABSOLUTELY do ahead of time. Disney World Making a packing list, planning out your Genie+ selections, and looking at park maps can all help you have a great Disney vacation. But there might be a big thing you are overlooking when planning your trip. You’ll find several important updates on the Disney World website, including the latest health and safety information, theme park reservations, help with the mobile app, and more. We’re going to take a look at some of the most important warnings on the Disney website for you to pay attention to. 1. The Courtesy Warning Back at the end of 2022, Disney added a Courtesy tab to the Preparing for Your Visit Page on their website. The Courtesy tab reads that guests should “Be the magic you want to see in the world” and treat others with kindness, respect, and compassion. ©Disney What happens to those who don’t? Well, they will be asked to leave Walt Disney World. So it’s easy to avoid this — just be kind to Cast Members and other guests who are also trying to enjoy their vacation. It can get crowded and hot at Disney World. Sometimes there are a lot of people in one area like in queues for rides or waiting for a parade, and this can cause issues, but choose kindness. Mickey and Minnie at Cinderella Castle 2. Watch Out for Hotel Renovations Warnings Before you book your Disney Hotel, you might want to double-check if there is a renovation warning listed on the page. For example, currently, there is a lot of construction happening at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. On the Disney World Website, you’ll find there is a warning about construction noises that you may hear throughout your stay. ©Disney The walkway between the hotel and Magic Kingdom is also closed for refurbishment, which is something that you would want to plan for if you are planning on staying at the Polynesian for easy access to Magic Kingdom. Of course, the resort monorail is still running to the park. New DVC building at Polynesian There is also construction going on at Disney’s Beach Club as they are renovating rooms. ©Disney If you plan on being at the parks all day, a little construction might not bother you. However, if you were planning on relaxing at the hotel or by the pool, this could impact you. There could also be some construction that impacts amenities like the spa or the pool. Be sure to check the website before booking your hotel. 3. Cancellation Policies Warning There are times when you have to cancel your Disney trip last minute and it’s important to know Disney’s cancellation policies. This also includes canceling dining reservations as well. If you have to cancel a vacation package, you have to cancel your reservation within 30 days of the first day of your stay to get a full refund on your trip. For cancelations made 2 days to 29 days prior to your arrival, a refund will be issued MINUS a cancellation fee of $200 per package. For cancelations made 1 day or less prior to guest arrival, you lose everything you paid for the trip. ©Disney However, you can make changes to your reservation (subject to availability), although changes made less than 30 days before your arrival date are subject to a $50 fee per package. Also, you will have to pay for any price increases, if necessary. ©Disney You may also have a dining reservation and change your mind about wanting to eat there. Maybe you are having too much fun at the park and you’re not ready to leave yet. Each Disney World restaurant has its own cancelation policy, but most will allow you to cancel without a fee if you do so more than 2 hours ahead of the reservation. You can cancel a reservation online or by calling (407) 824-1391. If you need to cancel within 2 hours of the reservation, though, you may be charged a cancelation fee, depending on the restaurant. ©Disney Even if you aren’t planning on canceling your trip or your dining reservation, it’s important to know the policies ahead of time in case of emergencies or last-minute changes. Read All of Disney World’s Cancelation Policies Here 4. Weather Warnings It’s no secret that Disney World can experience serve weather and even hurricanes. Last year, Disney World was impacted by two hurricanes, Ian and Nicole. During a hurricane, Disney World may temporarily close the parks, change hours, or even put a lockdown in place. ©Disney Last year during Hurricane Ian, Disney had multiple warnings posted on their website and in the My Disney Experience App. These warnings gave information about park closings and safety measures that Disney World was putting in place for guests. My Disney Experience Even if it’s not as serve as a hurricane, even thunderstorms can affect your trip. When there is lightning, high winds, or heavy rain in the area, some rides or attractions may be temporarily closed. Be sure to check Disney’s website and the app for more information on these. ©Disney 5. Park Closed Warning Sometimes it’s not just the weather that can close down a Disney park. Often, Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water parks temporarily close for refurbishment during the winter and spring months. Blizzard Beach Currently, Blizzard Beach is closed for refurbishment and this warning is posted on the Disney website. ©Disney If you are planning on visiting the water parks, it’s important to check in advance their pages on the website to see if they are open.

The countdown is starting to get real for the latest addition to Disneyland Hotel! ©Disney We just got a new Disney Vacation Club lounge in Tomorrowland at Disneyland, and soon we’re going to see a whole tower of brand-new DVC rooms — the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. It’s been a little while since the last time we had an update on this project, and Disney just released a sneak peek of these villas that we can’t wait to show you. We’re getting a behind-the-scenes look at the new Disneyland Hotel villas! The villas will be part of an expansion for the Disneyland Hotel and are expected to open in the Fall of 2023, on September 28th. The modern, contemporary look for these villas hopes to bring the classic stories of Disney to all ages and honor timeless works from Disney artists. The guest entry, or lobby, will be the last space finished after the villa rooms themselves. Imagineers chose to stick to modern, sleek designs here for the space and furnishings, and the artwork draws some inspiration from Imagineer Mary Blair ©Disney The design and color selection for the villas was inspired by Disney animated movies. There are different sizes of villas to sleep between 2 and 12 people per room, depending on which category of room you’re booking. ©Disney The tower will have duo studios, deluxe studios, and 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom villas. Each room is themed to a Disney film, with themes including The Jungle Book, The Princess and the Frog, Sleeping Beauty, Fantasia, and Bambi. ©Disney Imagineers also looked for new ways to create wonder and found an interesting way to reshape the corridors. ©Disney This interesting hallway shape is a nod to the iconic Disneyland “D” shape ©Disney The deluxe studio villas will be outfitted with small kitchenettes with both standalone and Murphy-style beds. The artist’s renderings show a rug underneath the main bed with the rest of the flooring to be non-carpeted. ©Disney A look from the outside shows a spacious area to relax poolside. There seem to be plans for ample seating and a standing pergola that will provide a bit of shade while hanging out. ©Disney Although it’s not shown, the pool bar will be nearby in the covered breezeway that will connect the new tower to the main Disneyland Hotel building. The location of this pool is just within sight of the monorail pool nearby making it easy to hop over to that pool when you’re ready! The garden units will be a mixture of pod and studio villas that will also be inside the tower but the difference here is that you’ll have nice pool views with balconies and patios and will have a connecting covered bridge to keep it seamless with the tower. ©Disney You can check out the full video with more images of these villas here: DVC members can book reservations by contacting Member Services at (800) 800-9800, and you can find point requirements by clicking here. Disneyland Resort Magic Key holders can make reservations by calling (714) 956-6425. Bookings are also now open to the general public, and you can reserve your spot by calling (714) 956-6425. The villas will go on sale to current Disney Vacation Club members on May 2nd, 2023, and if you’re adding on to an existing membership, you’ll be able to start using those points for booking these villas as early as May 16th, 2023, before they are available to other members on May 27th, 2023. We’re getting excited to see the addition of the new villas in Disneyland and will be anxiously awaiting their reception to the resort room offerings.

Planning last-minute trips to Disney World isn’t just for locals anymore. Have you flown recently? In this day and age, booking a flight is as easy as pushing a button — but it isn’t always cheap. Sometimes, though, the universe does you a solid and shows you exactly what you might need. And if you ask us, a cheap flight to Disney World next weekend could be just the thing. Lucky for you, we’ve found a few flights that might get you there for less than you think! There’s nothing quite like a last-minute Disney World trip. We’re fortunate enough to visit the parks every day, but for those who don’t live nearby, it can be a little more difficult to plan a spontaneous visit. We’ve found a few flights that are around $100 or less from a few major cities around the United States just to give you an idea of what’s out there! We pulled the trips from Google Flights, and they all have Friday, May 5th departure dates to Orlando International Airport (MCO). Depending on the city, the return flight is either on Monday, May 8th, or Tuesday, May 9th. Orlando International Airport Terminal C Start spreading the news, because you can fly out of La Guardia Airport in New York City roundtrip to MCO for just $87 on Frontier. Keep in mind that budget airlines often have extra fees for bags and seat selection, so you might incur a few additional dollars. ©Google If you’re from the Lou and you’re proud, celebrate with roundtrip flights from St. Louis Lambert International Airport to MCO for $92. This is another Frontier flight, but that’s still not a bad deal! ©Google If you’re near Chicago, you can fly from Midway International roundtrip for $87 on Frontier as well. ©Google Atlanta isn’t too far from Orlando in the grand scheme of things, but if flying is more your jam, you can grab a flight out of Hartsfield-Jackson International roundtrip on Frontier for $96. ©Google Okay, this last one might not technically be cheap — but it’s not too bad for a flight across the country! You’ll find a $258 roundtrip Spirit flight out of LAX in Los Angeles that’ll get you to Orlando in under five hours. ©Google If you want to do some planning before your flight (or even on the plane!), check out our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining.

Getting ready for a Disney World vacation can be a lot. Welcome to Walt Disney World From booking your Park Pass Reservations and narrowing down the right hotel choice for your group to snagging your favorite Advanced Dining Reservations — it all takes a lot of research and planning! But sometimes, no matter how much you plan, things in Disney World can get a bit challenging. Occasionally, you might have to deal with something you can’t plan for — unexpected ride closures. Disney does schedule some ride closures in advance so that they can refurbish the attractions (and you’ll be able to find out about those ahead of time). But, sometimes rides have technical difficulties that require Cast Members to shut the ride down while they work on fixing the problem. Today, multiple rides went down at once — and two of them were MAJOR attractions. Tower of Terror when temporarily closed This morning, both TRON Lightcycle / Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance were down at the same time! During this time, Test Track and Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress were also experiencing technical difficulties. ©Disney Sometimes, these ride closures don’t last very long. But occasionally, we’ve seen rides close for the better part of the day. Not long after we noticed that TRON had closed, Cast Members noted that it was testing and would be back up and running shortly. It’s a good idea to be mentally prepared for these closures so that when they happen you’re not completely caught off guard. Sometimes it makes sense to try to do your must-do rides in the morning so that if they do close at the end of the night, you’re not stuck missing out on them. Rise of the Resistance If you do encounter a ride closure during your trip, there are a few things you can do. First, keep checking the My Disney Experience App for updates about the ride. You can also talk to a Cast Member about the ride — they won’t always be able to give you details, but occasionally they can share with you an idea of how long the closure might last. Slinky Dog Dash If you had a Lightning Lane reserved for an attraction during its closure and the ride does not reopen at all during the time of your Lightning Lane reservation, you will be given a multi-experience redemption. This is like a general Lightning Lane reservation — it’s good for either your original ride (when it reopens), or you can use it on a different ride (although some may be excluded, unless it was the ride you’d already booked for). Lightning Lane We’ll keep an eye out for any more major news in the parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Disney World can be a great place for vegan eaters to visit! The culinary staff members are trained to accommodate many different dietary restrictions and food allergies, and many of the restaurants off plant-based appetizers, entrees and desserts. EPCOT is definitely a foodie park! Today, we’re headed to EPCOT to check out all of the plant-based eats! A couple of things to note here in our guide to Vegan food at EPCOT: First, remember that there is usually a festival going on here that will feature additional food and drink options! Be sure to follow DFB for the latest festival menus — they often include many new vegan options! And second, note that many of the restaurant menus here do not include things specifically designated as plant-based items. We believe that in almost every case, there are plant-based items, or items that can be modified to be vegan, at these locations. We would also note that there are many items on the menus — such as pretzels, vegetable side dishes, grain side dishes, sorbets, guacamole, etc. — that are commonly plant-based. We suggest that you speak to a cast member at any of these dining locations. They will be happy to verify that an item is vegan or suggest items that can be modified for you! Akershus Royal Banquet Hall Breakfast (returning May 14th) You pay one price at Akershus for a buffet-style meal. There is nothing noted as plant-based on the current menu. However, we expect that there are vegan offerings. Speak to a cast member about your dietary restriction. Lunch and Dinner You pay one price at Akershus for a buffet-style meal. There are two items – plant-based bratwurst and plant-based vanilla gelato. We expect that there are additional vegan offerings. Speak to a cast member about your dietary restriction. Aurora at Akershus Biergarten Restaurant This is a buffet meal. The only thing listed as plant-based on the menu is Sauerkraut. We expect that there are additional vegan offerings.
