What’s New Disney World Hotels: Refillable Halloween Mugs and an Off Limits Treat

Hello, DFB friends! We visited some Disney World Resort Hotels this week and we have a lot of updates!

Grand Floridian Lobby

Disney’s Contemporary Resort continues to be under construction, while the entrance of Disney’s Polynesian Resort is open again! Let’s get into it!

Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Miscellaneous Updates

Gasparilla Island Grill

We found an incredible chocolate cauldron sculpture at Gasparilla Island Grill in Disney’s Grand Floridian! It was hand-decorated by Cast Members at the bakery and it features multiple villains, including the Evil Queen.

WOW!

This is for display only so we can’t eat it, but it’s so beautiful that we wouldn’t eat it anyway!

See more photos of the chocolate cauldron sculpture here!

Also, we found that last year’s Halloween refillable mugs have returned for $19.99 each. We saw this design in 2019 too.

They’re Back!

These mugs are refillable at drink stations in quick service locations in Disney World hotels.

Here are more photos of the refillable Halloween mug!

Basin White

In Basin White, you can now purchase new Halloween-themed bath bombs and soaps, like these Cauldron Bath Bombs for $9.99 each.

We also saw a creepy cute Mickey soap shaped like a pumpkin with Mickey eyes for $5.99!

Curiouser Clothiers

We also saw a new-to-us long-sleeve t-shirt for $36.99. This t-shirt has the Grand Floridian logo on the front.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort Construction Updates

At the Contemporary Resort, construction continues to progress. We noticed new light fixtures on the first floor near the elevators.

Still, lots of construction remains at the Contemporary.

There were also three large greenery Mickey plants outside at the back of the resort.

And the play area by the pool is still blocked off and continues to be worked on.

Rix Sports Bar & Grill

At Rix inside Coronado Springs, there are new injectable donut holes for $11! We tried the Milk Chocolate and Mixed Berry fillings, but you could also choose Bavarian Cream.

Injectable Donut

One order comes with 10 donut holes and we LOVED the Mixed Berry filling. The donuts were also delicious!

All-Star Movies

At a visit to All-Star Movies, we noticed a new sign outside the food court displaying some food options as well as a QR code for Mobile Order.

New Food Court Sign

Mobile Order is a convenient and fast way to order and pay for quick service food in the My Disney Experience app!
