Are Disney World's New Attractions Worth the Trip? 🎢✨🏰

Walt Disney World has been busy this year! From new blasters on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin to a refreshed Smugglers Run adventure with The Mandalorian and Grogu, we spent time experiencing all of Disney World's latest updates.

Some changes surprised us. Others felt comfortably familiar. But are these new attractions enough to justify a trip this summer?

🎭✨ New Experiences Are Coming to Disney's BoardWalk in 2026

Disney's BoardWalk is getting some major updates, including the new Hurly Burly entertainment venue, a Basin retail location, and an all new quick service restaurant.

We're excited about the potential of Hurly Burly, especially with family activities during the day and live music at night. But are we the only ones wondering if the BoardWalk really needed a third place to buy bath bombs? 🤔

And the new quick service restaurant? That could end up being exactly what BoardWalk guests have been waiting for.

Does Disney Vacation Club Actually Save Money? 💰🏰🤔

One of the biggest questions we hear from prospective Members is simple: Does Disney Vacation Club actually save money?

This week on The DVC Show, we're breaking down the real cost of DVC ownership, including annual dues, park tickets, dining, transportation, annual passes, hard ticket events, and the hidden expenses that many people overlook.

The answer might surprise you.

For many Members, DVC isn't necessarily about spending less. It's about getting more value, staying in deluxe resorts, and vacationing more often than they otherwise would.

Is Animal Kingdom Lodge Club Level Worth It? 🦒✨🍷

We finally checked a Disney Vacation Club bucket list stay off our list and spent a night at the Kilimanjaro Club at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge!

From personalized concierge service and complimentary food throughout the day to beer, wine, sangria, and incredible Cast Member interactions, this experience felt like a throwback to the Disney service many of us remember and love.
The biggest question: Is Club Level worth the extra points or cash cost?

We break down everything included, the actual point premium, the food and beverage offerings, and whether we'd book it again.
One thing is certain: the service alone left a lasting impression.

🌳✨ First Look: Refurbished Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort! ✨🌳

After more than 15 years, the Treehouse Villas are finally getting a major refresh, and Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a sneak peek at the reimagined design.

The updated villas keep their signature woodland charm while introducing a brighter, more modern feel with natural textures, lighter colors, and new furnishings throughout. Disney fans will also spot subtle nods to beloved animated classics including Tangled, The Fox and the Hound, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, and Mulan.

One of our favorite details? The beautiful new Fox and the Hound artwork featured in one of the bedrooms. 🦊🐶

The refurbishment is being completed in phases through September, but Disney says the first renovated Treehouse Villas will begin welcoming guests in the coming months.

🚨🏡Disney Lakeshore Lodge Resort Use Plan Filed: New Details Emerge on Resort Size, Resale Restrictions, and Potential Palmetto Trust Connection

Disney Vacation Club has officially filed the Disney Lakeshore Lodge Resort Use Plan, giving Members their clearest look yet at Disney's newest DVC resort.

The filing suggests the DVC component may be significantly larger than originally expected, potentially accounting for roughly 876 vacation homes. It also confirms that Lakeshore Lodge will follow Disney's modern resale restriction structure.

But the biggest question may be whether Lakeshore Lodge could eventually become part of the Palmetto Trust. We take a deep dive into the Fort Wilderness timeline, what the filing tells us, and what a future trust assignment could mean for booking rights and ownership.

Here is what we know so far. 👀
