With all of the excitement going on in the Disney World parks, it can be easy to forget about the hotels!
BoardWalk Inn Lobby
What with the start of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, the announcement of a release date for MagicBand+ and more, there’s a lot going on! We’re going to head to some Disney World hotels to see what’s new, so we can bring you all of the updates.
Yacht & Beach Club Food Updates
Beach Club Marketplace
At Beach Club Marketplace, we spotted a cupcake that got an upgrade! This spot usually has a vanilla Mickey Cupcake, but in celebration of summer, this cupcake has been decorated to look like a pineapple.
It has a new look for summer!
Nothing about the flavor of the cupcake has changed, it just has yellow and green frosting now that’s made to look like a pineapple! You can grab this cupcake for $6.29.

Yacht & Beach Club General Updates
When we were visiting the Beach Club, we also noticed that they were offering a class called Painting in the Vineyard!
Painting in the Vineyard
The painting class is held every Friday from 4PM-6PM at Martha’s Vineyard and is $35 plus tax if you want to join. The sign does mention that space is limited, so you might want to consider getting there early if you’re interested in taking part in this activity!

Pop Century Food Updates
Everything Pop Shopping & Dining
Everything Pop Shopping & Dining has a new cupcake on the menu!
Pop Goes Bananas
This treat is yellow cupcake filled with caramelized banana, pastry crème, caramel-latte buttercream, and a chocolate smiley face medallion. We really liked this cupcake when we tried it but beware: it is not for the faint of heart. The banana flavor is strong, so if you’re not a banana fan, maybe steer clear. You can grab this cupcake for $5.49.
