When planning a trip to Walt Disney World, the four theme parks and all the rides and attractions found within them are probably the first things that come to mind. From classic dark rides like Pirates of the Caribbean to thrilling roller coasters like Space Mountain, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” with new experiences seemingly opening every year.

Some of the most recent additions to the resort include Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a water log flume ride located in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland. Later this year, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will welcome a new Zootopia-themed show, Zootopia: Better Zoogether. This new attraction will be found inside the Tree of Life at the center of the park.

However, there’s a lot more to a Disney vacation than just rides and attractions, as Walt Disney World also boasts a staggering number of hotels and resorts to choose from. The resort’s most iconic choices are the Polynesian, Contemporary, and Grand Floridian, each with its own set of amenities, features, and high price tags.

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn has become one of the most popular options for travelers over the years. The hotel offers its own selection of live entertainment and incredible dining options. Guests can also enjoy a relaxing day at the hotel’s pool, though Disney recently confirmed that this offering will be going dark.
