Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation

Trash cans are not something most people plan a vacation around. But at Walt Disney World, they have always mattered more than they should. The classic cans were designed to disappear into whatever land you were standing in, painted and shaped to match Adventureland, Tomorrowland, or the Africa section of Animal Kingdom. Guests noticed them without noticing them, which was ...

Disney Vacation Club has always run on a calendar that members learn to live by. Home resort booking opens at 11 months out, the phone lines and the website light up in the early morning, and the most sought-after villas in the system are gone in minutes. Standard view studios at BoardWalk Villas. Anything at the Grand Californian. Beautiful rooms ...

There is a particular kind of connection that Disney Channel builds with its audience. The movies arrive when you are young enough that they become part of how you remember a summer. You learn the songs. You watch the same film enough times that the dialogue becomes shorthand with your friends. And the actors on screen, most of them barely ...

Another Walt Disney World Resort hotel is heading into construction, and at this point, that sentence applies to almost the entire property. Disney’s Beach Club just added lobby work on top of exterior maintenance that will run through 2027. The BoardWalk has been rebuilding its entertainment district after losing several venues. Yachtsman Steakhouse came back from a fifteen-week closure at ...

Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been an ever-changing park at Walt Disney World this year, and it is not finished. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster reopened with the Muppets. The Mandalorian and Grogu joined Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Monstropolis got a partial 2027 opening timeline at D23. That is a substantial amount of change for one park in a single year, and ...

Three and a half months is a long time for a signature restaurant to sit dark. Yachtsman Steakhouse closed on May 10 for refurbishment, and for most of the summer, guests staying around Crescent Lake lost one of the better dinner options in that pocket of Walt Disney World. That area is dense with dining, between the BoardWalk, the Beach ...

Permits are usually the first honest signal you get about what Disney is planning. Announcements come with concept art and a stage. Permits come with an address, a contractor, and a scope of work, and they get filed months before anyone at Disney says a word publicly. That is why people who follow Walt Disney World closely watch county filings ...

Hayden Christensen’s return to the Star Wars universe may be far from finished. Nearly five decades after audiences first met one of cinema’s most famous villains, a new rumor suggests Lucasfilm could be considering something Star Wars has never delivered on the big screen: a standalone Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) movie. The reported project remains unconfirmed, and ...

Disney fans are still riding the high from the 2026 D23 Parks Panel, and for good reason. It was the biggest night for Disney Parks in two years. Magic Kingdom got news. Hollywood Studios got news. Animal Kingdom got news. And EPCOT, which was almost entirely skipped over at the last event, finally got real attention paid to the former ...

Opening day should be the best day. That is the whole appeal of showing up on day one of an EPCOT festival. The menus are fresh, nobody has reviewed anything yet, the merchandise is fully stocked, and you get to be the person telling everyone else what is worth ordering. Plenty of guests specifically plan trips around opening day for ...
