Disney’s Polynesian Resort DVC Studio Remodeled Room Tour 2021

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort offers both standard hotel rooms and Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Deluxe Studios. Both room types have just recently received an update and I was very excited to stay at the DVC Studios in October for the kick-off of Walt Disney World’s 50th birthday! The rooms were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and in comparison to the last time I had stayed at the Polynesian (in a standard room, before the remodel) — I was blown away by how nice and fresh everything felt. The Polynesian is a stunning Deluxe Resort at Walt Disney World with monorail, boat, or walking …

Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness

The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are a really special place to stay on your Walt Disney World vacation if you’re looking for something different than the standard hotel room. The Cabins are individual, prefab buildings that 1000% remind me of Lincoln logs!! Not only are the Fort Wilderness Cabins super spacious with a separate living room, kitchen and dining space, and bedroom; they are pet-friendly, sleep 6, and have outdoor space available to use as well! The Cabins are just a short boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom and offer bus service to the other parks. One …

Character “Meets” are Returning at Walt Disney World 2021

Traditional character meet and greets have been unavailable at Walt Disney World since the parks reopened from the COVID closures back in July of 2020. Instead of meeting your favorite characters in their daily meeting spots indoors, Disney has been staging characters around the parks outdoors — both in cavalcades that quickly pass by and a waving from a distance fashion. Disney recently announced that character meets would be returning, not exactly as they were before but in a modified capacity. Let’s take a look at which character meets are returning and what we can expect from these experiences now. …

Early Theme Park Entry at Walt Disney World | Hotel & Ride List

When you stay at a Disney Resort hotel (or other participating hotel) on your Walt Disney World vacation, you get access to Early Theme Park Entry at all 4 parks each morning. Early Theme Park Entry allows hotel guests to enter and begin riding rides at the 4 theme parks 30 minutes before official park opening time each morning. And while 30 minutes doesn’t seem like much time, it’s an INCREDIBLY VALUABLE half-hour at Walt Disney World. This perk is most definitely something you’ll want to take advantage of on your vacation. You’ll experience the lowest crowds of the day …

My Day Using Disney Genie+ at Magic Kingdom

Yesterday was the first day that the new Disney Genie+ service was available at Walt Disney World! If you need a refresher on what Disney Genie+ is, read this post FIRST.

In future posts I will deep dive into park strategies utilizing Disney Genie+ at …

Will Very Merriest After Hours Include More Than Boo Bash?

With the (hopefully temporary) cancellation of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year, Walt Disney World is now offering After Hours events at the Magic Kingdom to celebrate the holiday season. Disney’s Boo Bash After Hours event is currently taking place on select nights through Halloween. You can read my thoughts on that event right here. Spoiler alert, it wasn’t my favorite and I most definitely missed the traditional Halloween party of years past. So will Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours be worth the higher price tag? Let’s dive into all of the details of …
