The London, Paris &amp; Rome: Iconic Europe adventure combines three of the world's most celebrated cities into one extraordinary experience, blending history, culture, food, and exclusive Disney touches that transform a sightseeing trip into something unforgettable.</div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong><font size="4">Three Living-List Cities. One Incredible Adventure.<br /></font></strong>Most travelers spend years dreaming about visiting London, Paris, and Rome. Adventures by Disney makes it possible to experience all three in a thoughtfully planned itinerary that eliminates the stress of navigating transportation, logistics, and reservations. Instead of worrying about train schedules, museum tickets, or language barriers, families can focus on what matters most: experiencing some of Europe's greatest treasures together.<br /><br />Imagine watching the London skyline from above on the London Eye, standing in awe before the Palace of Versailles, and walking through the ancient Colosseum where gladiators once competed nearly 2,000 years ago. Every day feels like stepping into the pages of a history book.<br /><br /><strong>VIP Access to Europe's Most Famous Landmarks<br /></strong>One of the biggest advantages of traveling with Adventures by Disney is the special access and expert-guided experiences included throughout the journey. That special access? I often say that the paddles that the Adventure Guides carry are the epitome of Disney Magic. They get you access that others simply do not receive.<br /><br />Highlights include:<ul><li>Touring the historic Tower of London and viewing the Crown Jewels</li><li>Exploring the Palace of Versailles with expert guides</li><li>Visiting the Louvre and seeing the Mona Lisa</li><li>Experiencing a private after-hours tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel</li><li>Walking through the iconic Roman Colosseum</li></ul> <br />These aren't just photo stops, but are immersive experiences designed to help travelers truly connect with the history, art, and stories behind each destination.<br /><br /><strong>The Disney Difference<br /></strong>What makes Adventures by Disney different from other European tours? The answer is simple: Disney's commitment to exceptional storytelling and service.<br /><br />Disney-trained Adventure Guides accompany guests throughout the journey, handling countless details behind the scenes while creating magical moments along the way. Their local expertise, attention to detail, and ability to engage travelers of all ages help create an experience that feels seamless from beginning to end.<br /><br />Families often tell us that the Adventure Guides become one of their favorite parts of the trip. And I totally get that...every Adventure Guide I've met has been so engaging, charismatic, and full of wonder. They are the best of the Disney spirit.<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>Experiences You Can't Recreate on Your Own<br /></strong>Adventures by Disney provides access to experiences that would be difficult, and sometimes impossible, to arrange on your own. One standout experience is the private after-hours visit to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Instead of navigating massive daytime crowds, guests can appreciate some of the world's most significant artistic masterpieces in a more intimate setting.<br /><br />The itinerary also includes hands-on cultural experiences, such as learning to make traditional Italian pasta during a cooking class in Rome. These moments help transform a vacation into a deeper cultural experience.<br /><br /><strong>Luxury Accommodations in Prime Locations<br /></strong>Location matters when exploring Europe's most iconic cities. Guests stay in carefully selected luxury hotels that place them close to many of the destinations they're most excited to experience.<br />After a full day of sightseeing, travelers can relax in comfort while enjoying the convenience of staying in the heart of each city. <br /><br /><strong>Perfect for Families, Multigenerational Travel, and Adult Travelers<br /></strong>One of the reasons this itinerary remains so popular is its broad appeal. Families love the educational experiences and engaging storytelling. Grandparents appreciate the convenience and expertly planned logistics. Adult travelers enjoy the cultural depth, VIP access, and premium accommodations.<br /><br />Whether you're traveling with children, grandparents, friends, or as a couple, this itinerary offers a balance of history, culture, food, and unforgettable experiences.<br /><br /><strong>Is This Adventure Worth It?<br /></strong>For travelers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime European vacation, the answer is often yes.<br /><br />When you consider the premium hotels, guided sightseeing, transportation between countries, exclusive access opportunities, included meals, and the support of Disney-trained Adventure Guides, Adventures by Disney delivers a level of convenience and experience that many travelers find difficult to replicate independently.<br /><br />Most importantly, it allows families to spend their time making memories instead of managing logistics.<br /><br /><strong>Ready to Experience Iconic Europe?<br /></strong>From London's royal history to Parisian elegance and Rome's ancient wonders, this Adventures by Disney itinerary brings together some of the world's most remarkable destinations in one unforgettable journey.<br />&#8203;<br />If Europe has been sitting on your travel living list, this may be the adventure you've been waiting for.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Monstropolis Is Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios: Everything We Know So Far]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/monstropolis-is-coming-to-disneys-hollywood-studios-everything-we-know-so-far]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/monstropolis-is-coming-to-disneys-hollywood-studios-everything-we-know-so-far#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2026 17:23:38 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/monstropolis-is-coming-to-disneys-hollywood-studios-everything-we-know-so-far</guid><description><![CDATA[       Disney has shared exciting new details about Monstropolis, the highly anticipated Monsters, Inc.-inspired land coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.While construction continues behind the scenes, Disney is beginning to reveal the story, setting, and immersive experiences guests can expect when they eventually step into the monster world.

If you're a fan of Sulley, Mike Wazowski, and the beloved Pixar film, this expansion is shaping up to be one of the most exciting additions to Walt Disney World in years.<br /><span></span></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph"><strong>A New Chapter for the Monsters, Inc. Story</strong><br />Earlier this week, Disney released the above "news article," which gave fans their first in-depth look at just what is in store once this land opens up. Rather than simply recreating scenes from the movie, Disney is building an entirely new story that allows humans to finally visit Monstropolis.<br /><br />Fans will remember that the original Monsters, Inc. story ended with a major discovery: human laughter produces significantly more energy than screams. That breakthrough changed the way monsters viewed humans. They were no longer a threat.<br /><br />According to Disney, the city of Monstropolis has evolved dramatically since then. Fear of humans has given way to curiosity, and the once-strict separation between the two worlds is beginning to disappear. Now, for the first time, humans are being invited into Monstropolis as honored guests on H.U.M.A.N. day.<br /><br /><strong>What's H.U.M.A.N. Day?</strong><br />H.U.M.A.N. Day, which stands for "Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice" (awww!), is happening the day that you visit Monstropolis.&nbsp;The event serves as a cultural exchange between monsters and humans, celebrating the newfound relationship between the two worlds. Guests visiting Monstropolis will become part of this story, experiencing a city that is opening its doors to humans for the very first time. It's a super cute and seriously clever way for Disney to explain why guests are able to enter a world that was once considered completely off-limits.<br /><br /><strong>&#8203;The Department of Human Relations</strong><br />Of course someoneneeds to be in charge of H.U.M.A.N. day. Enter: HR:&nbsp;Monstropolis' Department of Human Relations.<br /><br />This organization has been tasked with helping monsters better understand humans and preparing the city to welcome visitors from the human world. The concept adds another layer of world-building and creates opportunities for the kind of storytelling and details Disney fans love discovering throughout the parks.<br /><br /><strong>Exploring the Streets of Monstropolis</strong><br />Disney has also shared a glimpse of what guests can expect when walking through the new land.<br /><br />The city will feature bustling streets filled with monster-sized businesses, unique architecture, and recognizable locations from the Monsters, Inc. universe.<br /><br />Among the locations Disney has confirmed are:<ul><li>Harryhausen's (!!!), the famous restaurant featured in the original film. I don't know about you, but I've wanted to eat at Harryhausen's since 2001. Also, I'm going to be seriously sad if this restaurant doesn't include an octopus animatronic.&nbsp;</li><li>The Glob Theater. I'm wondering if we'll eventually see the Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor moved here. Regardless, I hope that there will be an Easter Egg shout-out to the dearly departed Muppet-Vision 3-D inside the theater (sigh...).</li><li>More storefronts and city buildings that bring Monstropolis to life</li></ul> Disney appears focused on creating a fully immersive environment that feels like stepping directly into the movie.<br /><br /><strong style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63)">Why Disney Fans Are Excited</strong><br /><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63)">We have a Monsters, Inc ride at Disney California Adventure (for now...), but it's a stand-alone ride in a back lot. It's nothing like what Monstropolis will be. </span><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63)">The combination of immersive storytelling, beloved characters, detailed environments, and Disney's commitment to creating living, breathing worlds has many fans eagerly anticipating what could become one of the most popular areas at Disney's Hollywood Studios.</span><br /><br /><strong>Construction Is Well Underway</strong><br />Recent images released by Disney show steel structures rising behind construction walls at Disney's Hollywood Studios. While Disney has not announced an opening date, visible progress suggests the project is moving steadily forward.&nbsp;As with many large-scale Disney projects, additional details will likely be revealed over time, including attractions, dining experiences, entertainment offerings, and interactive elements throughout the land. There's hope that more details will be released at the D23 convention in August.&nbsp;<br /><br />Stay tuned as well all continue to anxiously await more info (and dream of Harryhausen's sushi).</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disney Bounceback Offers for 2027: Everything You Need to Know]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/disney-bounceback-offers-for-2027-everything-you-need-to-know]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/disney-bounceback-offers-for-2027-everything-you-need-to-know#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:58:11 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/disney-bounceback-offers-for-2027-everything-you-need-to-know</guid><description><![CDATA[       One of the most valuable Walt Disney World discounts is not widely advertised, not posted on Disney&rsquo;s homepage, and not sent out to the general public.

The reservation can then be paid over time, as long as it's paid off 30 days prior to check-in.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">Do You Need to Book Before You Leave Disney?<br /></font></strong>Nope! One of the most misunderstood parts of this offer is timing.<br />You do not need to book while you are still at the resort, and you do not need to rush to the front desk before checkout. Instead, you have <strong>7 days after checkout</strong> to secure your Bounceback reservation.<br />That means you can return home, review your calendar, contact your preferred Travel Advisor, and decide on your 2027 travel dates before committing.<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">2027 Disney Bounceback Eligible Travel Dates<br /></font></strong>Guests checking out of Walt Disney World Resort hotels through October 31, 2026 may be eligible for future stays during the following 2027 travel windows:<ul><li>January 11 to January 14, 2027</li><li>January 18 to January 28, 2027</li><li>February 7 to February 11, 2027</li><li>February 15 to February 18, 2027</li><li>February 21 to February 24, 2027</li><li>March 1 to April 14, 2027</li><li>April 18 to May 27, 2027</li><li>May 31 to June 30, 2027</li><li>July 5 to September 1, 2027</li><li>September 6 to October 3, 2027</li><li>October 25 to October 31, 2027</li></ul> <em>Availability varies by resort and room type, and Disney may limit participating inventory based on demand.</em><br /><br /><strong><font size="4">How Much Can You Save?<br /></font></strong>Savings vary based on Resort Category and Travel Dates.&nbsp;<br /><ul style="color:rgb(37, 59, 86)"><li>Save up to 35% on rooms at select Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts</li><li>Save up to 30% on rooms at select Disney Moderate Resorts</li><li>Save up to 25% on rooms at select Disney Value Resorts</li></ul>Note that "up to" verbiage. Dates between March and September are going to feature savings on the higher end of those ranges.<br /><br /><strong>Can a Travel Advisor Help With a Bounceback Offer?<br /></strong>Yes, and in most cases, it makes the process significantly easier.<br /><br />A travel advisor can help you:<ul><li>Confirm eligibility</li><li>Check available resorts and pricing</li><li>Compare Bounceback pricing with current promotions</li><li>Complete the booking within your 7-day window</li></ul> <br />At <strong>Just Add Magic Travel&reg;</strong>, we regularly assist clients with Bounceback Offers so they do not have to spend time calling Disney or trying to navigate availability on their own.<br />To get started, simply send:<ul><li>The Check Out dates and reservation number of your previous stay</li><li>Your preferred 2027 travel dates</li><li>Your preferred resort (if you have one in mind)</li></ul><br /><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<br /></strong>Can I book a Bounceback Offer if I stayed off-site? No. Bounceback Offers are only available to guests staying at eligible Walt Disney World Resort hotels.<br /><br />Can I combine a Bounceback Offer with other discounts? Generally, Disney does not allow stacking promotions. If a public offer is released later, we can compare pricing and determine the best available option.<br /><br />Do all resorts participate? No. Participation varies based on Disney inventory and demand, and not all resorts or room types will be included.<br /><br />What happens if I miss the 7-day window? Once the 7-day booking window closes, the Bounceback Offer is no longer available. You would then book based on current public pricing or promotions.<br /><br /><strong>Don&rsquo;t Miss Your Bounceback Window<br /></strong>One of the most common mistakes Disney travelers make is assuming they will &ldquo;look into it later.&rdquo;<br /><br />By the time later arrives, the 7-day window has already passed.<br /><br />If you have recently checked out of a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, your eligibility window is already active.<br />To check availability and pricing for your 2027 dates, <a href="mailto:aileen@justaddmagictravel.com">contact <strong>Just Add Magic Travel&reg;</strong></a> before your Bounceback window closes.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Low-Stimulating Attractions at Universal Studios Orlando]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/low-stimulating-attractions-at-universal-studios-orlando]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/low-stimulating-attractions-at-universal-studios-orlando#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 14:26:25 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[accessible vacation planning]]></category><category><![CDATA[Universal]]></category><category><![CDATA[Vacation Planning]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/blog/low-stimulating-attractions-at-universal-studios-orlando</guid><description><![CDATA[       Universal Studios is known for its thrilling, colossal roller coasters and massive simulator rides that fill your day with adventure.

But there&rsquo;s another side of Disney travel that feels entirely different, and for many travelers, it becomes one of the most memorable trips they ever take.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63)">That&rsquo;s Adventures by Disney.</span></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div class="paragraph">&#8203;If you&rsquo;ve ever wished you could experience destinations like Iceland, Italy, South Africa, Costa Rica, or Japan with the logistics handled for you, VIP access included, and Disney-level storytelling woven throughout the experience, Adventures by Disney may be one of travel&rsquo;s best-kept secrets. And, no, you do not need to be traveling with young children to appreciate it. In fact, some of the biggest Adventures by Disney fans are adults traveling without kids.<br /><br /><strong>So&hellip;What Exactly Is Adventures by Disney?</strong><br /><br />Adventures by Disney, often shortened to &ldquo;AbD,&rdquo; is Disney&rsquo;s guided group travel division. Think luxury small-group touring, but with Disney&rsquo;s signature service, attention to detail, and storytelling layered throughout the experience. These are not escorted bus tours where you spend all day listening to a microphone lecture while being shuffled from stop to stop.<br /><br />Adventures by Disney itineraries are immersive, active, thoughtfully curated experiences designed to help travelers connect with a destination in a deeper way, without having to stress over transportation, logistics, timing, reservations, or figuring out every detail on their own. Trips range from European itineraries to African safaris, river cruises, Central and South America, Asia, Australia, and even North American itineraries.<br /><br />And yes, there are Disney touches throughout, but they&rsquo;re subtle and elevated. This is NOT &ldquo;Disney characters in another country.&rdquo;<br /><br /><strong>What Makes Adventures by Disney Different?</strong><br /><br />There are a lot of guided travel companies out there (some that we even work with, too), so what makes Adventures by Disney stand apart?<br /><br /><strong>The Adventure Guides</strong><br />If you ask experienced AbD travelers (AKA "Adventurers") what makes the experience so special, most will immediately mention the Adventure Guides. Every itinerary includes two Disney-trained Adventure Guides who travel with the group throughout the journey. Their job goes far beyond basic tour management. They handle logistics behind the scenes, solve problems before you even realize they exist, provide destination insights, and create those little magical moments Disney is known for.<br /><br />Need help finding medication in another country? They&rsquo;ll help.<br /><br />Someone in your party forgot a charger? They&rsquo;ll probably have an extra.<br /><br />Need restaurant recommendations during free time? They&rsquo;ve got them.<br /><br />This kind of support allows the Adventurers to fully relax because someone else is paying attention to the details.<br /><br /><strong>VIP Access and Exclusive Experiences</strong><br /><br />One of the biggest draws of Adventures by Disney is the exclusive access woven into the itineraries.<br /><br />Depending on the destination, this can include experiences like:<ul><li>Early or private entry into major attractions</li><li>Privately guided museum tours</li><li>Behind-the-scenes Disney experiences</li><li>Small-group cultural encounters</li><li>Access to locations not typically available to independent travelers</li><li>Special meals and events arranged exclusively for the group</li></ul> For example, Adventures by Disney Italy includes early-entry experiences at the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before general opening hours.<br /><br />The Iceland itinerary features glacier hiking, whale watching, and immersive cultural experiences across the country&rsquo;s dramatic landscapes.<br /><br />The South Africa itinerary combines luxury safari lodges, wildlife encounters, Cape Town experiences, and cultural immersion into one seamless journey.<br /><br />Domestically, the Southern California itinerary includes experiences most Disney fans can only dream about, including Walt Disney Imagineering, the Walt Disney Studios lot, and visits connected to Disney history (yes, you're going into Walt's apartment).<br /><br />These are the kinds of experiences that are difficult, if not impossible, to replicate on your own. I often tell my clients that those AbD paddles that the Adventure Guides hold are like magic.&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>The Disney Difference Without Feeling &ldquo;Too Disney&rdquo;</strong><br /><br />One misconception I hear often is that Adventures by Disney feels overly themed or childish. That&rsquo;s simply not the case.<br /><br />The Disney influence is present primarily in the service level, pacing, storytelling, and operational excellence. Hotels are upscale or luxury properties. Meals are thoughtfully selected. Transportation is seamless. Activities are intentionally balanced between structure and free time.<br /><br />There&rsquo;s also a strong emphasis on multigenerational travel.<br /><br />AbD does an excellent job designing itineraries that work well for grandparents, parents, teenagers, and children traveling together, which is harder than it sounds. Many itineraries also include dedicated &ldquo;Junior Adventurer&rdquo; activities where kids can enjoy special experiences while adults have opportunities for more relaxed or elevated moments of their own.<br /><br />Travelers without children also have access to their own Adult Exclusive departure dates for many of the itineraries if they're looking to travel sans kids. These departures are incredibly popular with couples, friend groups, and, yes, even Disney adults who love immersive travel experiences.<br /><br /><strong>Why So Many Travelers Love Guided Travel Right Now</strong><br /><br />Travel has become more complicated.<br /><br />Airline schedule changes happen constantly. Entry requirements evolve. Popular attractions require reservations months in advance. Transportation logistics in unfamiliar countries can be stressful. And many travelers simply don&rsquo;t have the time or desire to spend hundreds of hours researching every detail.<br /><br />That&rsquo;s where guided travel, especially well-executed guided travel, becomes incredibly valuable. With Adventures by Disney, much of the heavy lifting is already done. Hotels, transfers, most meals, activities, admissions, transportation within the destination, and guiding services are included. Some itineraries require internal flights or train transportation. These are handled by AbD.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Instead of spending your trip navigating train schedules, searching for parking, translating signs, or trying to figure out what&rsquo;s worth prioritizing, you can focus on actually experiencing the destination. That&rsquo;s a major reason why travelers who initially hesitate at the price tag often come home saying the trip exceeded expectations.<br /><br /><strong>Is Adventures by Disney Worth the Cost?</strong><br /><br />This is probably the biggest question travelers ask. To be frank, Adventures by Disney is not inexpensive. This is a luxury travel product. It&rsquo;s important to understand what you&rsquo;re paying for. You&rsquo;re not simply paying for hotel rooms and admission tickets. You&rsquo;re paying for:<ul><li>Highly curated itineraries</li><li>Premium guides and local experts</li><li>Included transportation and logistics</li><li>VIP experiences and exclusive access</li><li>Strong operational support</li><li>Cultural immersion</li><li>Convenience</li><li>Time savings</li><li>Safety and peace of mind</li><li>Disney-level guest service</li></ul> For some travelers, independent travel absolutely makes more sense. But for travelers who value ease, expertise, immersive experiences, feeling well taken care of, and having someone else manage the moving pieces, Adventures by Disney can provide tremendous value.<br /><br />It&rsquo;s especially appealing for travelers visiting destinations they may feel less comfortable navigating independently.<br /><br /><strong>Who Is Adventures by Disney Best For?</strong><br /><br />One of the things I love most about Adventures by Disney is how broad the audience actually is.<br /><br />It works well for:<ul><li>Families wanting immersive travel experiences</li><li>Multigenerational groups</li><li>Busy professionals who don&rsquo;t want to plan every detail</li><li>Couples looking for elevated guided travel</li><li>Disney fans who implicitly trust the Disney product, but want something beyond the parks</li><li>Travelers nervous about navigating foreign countries independently</li><li>Adventure travelers who still appreciate comfort and structure<br /><br /></li></ul> And while Disney fans are naturally drawn to the brand, you don&rsquo;t have to be a hardcore Disney person to appreciate the quality of the experience. In fact, many travelers are surprised by how sophisticated and culturally immersive these itineraries feel.<br />&#8203;<br /><strong>Final Thoughts</strong><br /><br />Adventures by Disney occupies a really unique space in the travel industry. It combines the convenience and structure of guided travel with elevated experiences, strong storytelling, and the service culture Disney is known for.<br /><br />For travelers who want immersive experiences without the stress of coordinating every moving piece themselves, it can be an incredible fit.<br /><br />And for people who think Disney travel only means theme parks? Adventures by Disney often completely changes that perception.<br /><br />Whether you&rsquo;re hiking glaciers in Iceland, spotting wildlife on safari in South Africa, zip lining through Costa Rica&rsquo;s rainforest, or sipping wine in Tuscany, Adventures by Disney proves that Disney magic can absolutely exist far beyond castle parks.<br /><br />If you&rsquo;re curious whether an Adventures by Disney itinerary might be the right fit for your travel style, one of our travel advisors would love to help you explore the options and find the right adventure for you.

It offers amazing views of the Magic Kingdom and Cinderella Castle, making it a perfect place to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks (they play the fireworks music soundtrack into the lounge for the full experience).&nbsp; Dishes vary each night, but you may be surprised to find smaller portions of crowd-favorites like chicken wings, pot stickers, meat skewers, and sushi from the Polynesian's best restaurants like 'Ohana and Kona Cafe.</span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26)">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67)"><strong><font size="5">Accommodations</font></strong><br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26)">Club level rooms offer the best views at the resort, whether you book a Theme Park View, Water View, or Resort View room.

There is additional seating just outside the lounge for more private conversations. The lounge's central location in the resort makes it easy to grab a snack or a drink, head back to your room, and enjoy it on your private balcony overlooking the boardwalk. The more intimate setting allows Cast Members to get to know you personally; they may even greet you by name by the end of your trip! The food selections are also exquisite here, offering a wide range of breakfast, snacks, appetizers, and a famous dessert spread.</span></span>&#8203;<br /></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:10px;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/uploads/2/6/9/1/26911579/published/487501260-1658455091727121-6943052352898308970-n.jpg?1777482778" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span><span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67)"><strong><font size="5">Accommodations</font></strong><br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26)">Club level rooms at the BoardWalk Inn are some of the best at any Disney resort. They are spacious and kid-friendly, and many of the options have private balconies overlooking the boardwalk. In addition to a standard layout guest room, BoardWalk Inn has some more unique options that can be great fits for guests looking for something other than a two-queen-and-a-daybed layout. Choose a Deluxe Room (exclusive to the BoardWalk) for extra space and a separate seating area. These rooms are great for larger families, as they sleep 6 guests. If you&rsquo;re looking for the ultimate romantic getaway, select a Garden Room. These secluded, two-story cottage-style accommodations are designed for two guests and offer a home-like setting, including a white picket fence, outdoor gardens, and a traditional front door. You access these rooms outside of the main building, but the lounge is just a short walk away.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67)"><strong><font size="5">Notable Features</font></strong><br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26)">The BoardWalk Inn is one of our top picks for Deluxe Resorts at Disney. Start your resort day with a quiet walk or a cup of coffee on your balcony. Bask in the sun by the pool during the day, and stroll the boardwalk at night while taking in live performances from magicians, comedians, and carnival-style acts. The BoardWalk Inn is within walking distance of EPCOT, so you can enjoy a relaxing breakfast in the lounge before heading out to the parks for Early Park Entry. There are multiple ways to get around the resort, with some of the most versatile transportation options available. Walk to the International Gateway at EPCOT and hop on the Skyliner to Hollywood Studios. You can also take a friendship boat to both parks. The BoardWalk Inn offers the most transportation methods to get to the parks, making it great if you&rsquo;re planning to solely use Disney transportation to get around.</span></span></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight:700">Disney&rsquo;s Animal Kingdom Lodge</span></span></h2>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.justaddmagictravel.com/uploads/2/6/9/1/26911579/published/510439580-1728135888092374-1277657744662246806-n.jpg?1777482857" alt="Picture" style="width:304;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26)">Arguably the most unique Disney Resort ever created, Disney&rsquo;s Animal Kingdom Lodge is home to over 200 African and native animals.

It&rsquo;s our favorite way to up both the convenience and luxe factor of your vacations. We consider the additional per-night charge for club level extremely affordable, especially when you factor in the individual cost of all the free drinks, snacks, food, desserts, and alcohol you can get in the club level lounge. You&rsquo;ll get the most out of your club level experience if you plan to spend a fair amount of time at your resort and can regularly visit the lounge during the day (especially in the morning and evening) to take advantage of the refreshments. When you factor in the price of getting similar refreshments, desserts, and specialty alcohol and cocktails at the parks, the upgrade is very worth it.</span></span><br /><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(14, 16, 26)">Club level rooms are limited in capacity and book up quickly.
