food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.
Splash Mountain is closed
Before you head out the door on your next Disney World trip, you’ll want to know what’s NOT going to be available while you’re there. Check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here! [Read more…]
We’ve had another BIG week of Disney news!
TRON Sign
Not only did the 100th anniversary celebration kick off in Disneyland, but we got some major announcements for TRON Lightcycle / Run which is set to open on April 4th, 2023. You may think this time between the holidays and spring break/TRON’s opening is slow, but the wait times are telling us otherwise.
2023 appears to be the year of closures at Disney World. On January 22nd Splash Mountain ferried its last guests, and we are saying goodbye to Magic Kingdom nighttime spectacular Disney Enchantment, which will end on April 2nd.
Restaurant Marrakesh
Not all of the closures are permanent, though. There are a fair amount of refurbishments happening across the resort as well. However, all of these changes aren’t limited to just attractions and shows.
Will you be in Disney World next week?
Animal Kingdom
If so, you’ll be arriving at a really good time. The weather won’t be too hot (although we can’t promise it won’t get a little chilly!). You don’t have to worry about marathon weekend crowds (because that’s over — for now). Plus you’ll be able to check out the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But BEFORE you go, you will need to know about park hours and the park pass reservation availability.
Are you headed to Disney World in 2023? Are you spending a lot of time, like we do, thinking about what you want to eat (okay, confession — we OBSESS about it)?
Pizza at Via Napoli
Perhaps you’ve been reading all our reviews, checking out our best restaurants posts, making lists of some of our favorite foods (corn dog nuggets, cheese soup, and more). But now, we’re going to tell you exactly WHERE you should eat in 2023, so, let’s get to it!
It’s been a wild time in Disney World!
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
Splash Mountain just permanently closed, fireworks shows are returning to Disney World soon, the 100th anniversary is about to begin, and so much more. There’s a lot of excitement going on with these announcements at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, but what’s happening over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Let’s find out!
A LOT has happened with Disney World food this week!
House-made Artisanal-style Duck À L’Orange Pizza at California Grill
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts is underway now, and we’ve been returning to some of the food booths to eat some of our favorite items. We tried a delicious new burger in Disney Springs. Like always, though, we also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus — and there have been some changes this week!
We’ve officially entered a slower season in Disney World, but it doesn’t always feel like it!
TRON Construction
Although this time of year is typically not as busy as the holidays or spring break time, there are plenty of things happening in the parks to draw people in. The Festival of the Arts is happening over in EPCOT right now, a popular Princess meet and greet is reopening, TRON Lightcycle / Run is getting closer to its opening (which means previews are coming soon), and so much more. So how is all of this impacting the wait times?
Disney has made some major reopening announcements recently!
Splash Mountain is being re-themed!
A couple of long-term closures will finally be ending soon in Magic Kingdom, but you’ll still want to watch out for 2 thrill rides that won’t be available in Disney World for a while. Check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here! [Read more…]
Are you planning to head to Disney World next week?
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
There’s certainly plenty to do this time of year. Sure, Splash Mountain will be closed forever to reopen as a NEW attraction in 2024. But the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is on and you’ll be able to check out all the food booths, activities, and entertainment. But you’ll also need to know about park pass availability for the week, as well as park hours.
