food IS a theme park

Looking to head to Disney World in the next few months?
EPCOT

WOW. This has been quite the week for Disney news!
Disney World
One form of transportation from the airport that some Disney fans LOVE will be going away next year, Disney World guests are getting early park entry again soon, and MORE. Some of the news this week will impact your future Disney World or Disneyland plans. We know you’ve got a lot going on in your lives too, so today we’re breaking down the 4 BIGGEST pieces of Disney news that you might have missed this week.
We got to spend our sunny day yesterday in Disney World’s flagship park!
Cinderella Castle
Yup, we took a stroll around Magic Kingdom to see if we could spot anything new! Sure enough, we’re bringing you alllllll the updates in construction and merchandise!
Not every Disney World attraction is open 365 days a year! Some are scheduled to close for touch-ups or large construction projects.
Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island Construction
Some refurbishments are scheduled months in advance and others are in need of maintenance. It’s good practice to know what Disney World rides and shows are closed so you can plan ahead! Knowing beforehand allows you to create an itinerary based on what’s closed and what’s open in the theme parks! Let’s take a look at next week’s refurbishment schedule between January 18th through January 24th, 2021.
When it comes to Disney World rides, not all seats are created equal.
Big Thunder Mountain
The attraction vehicles are designed to give guests a good experience from any seat. That doesn’t mean that every seat is the best seat. Some seats offer a better view and others offer a smoother ride. You might notice that the back row of Pirates of the Caribbean is cozier and feels a bit more private than the crowded middle seat! And, thrill-seekers love to sit in the front row of Space Mountain to get the total illusion of bolting through space. It takes a few rides on each attraction before you can determine which seat has the coolest experience. Most of the time, you only have one chance to ride Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train during your vacation so you gotta make it count! To help you out, we’re breaking down the BEST and WORST places to be seated at each attraction in the Magic Kingdom!
If you’ve been wanting more time in Magic Kingdom at Disney World, then you’re in luck!
Cinderella Castle
Since Disney World reopened, park hours have been more limited than they were before. However, Disney has extended park hours several times over the last few months, and now Magic Kingdom’s park hours have been extended again!
Walt Disney World has been open for nearly 50 years now!
Magic Kingdom
After 50 years, things can wear down and need to get replaced or touched up. Recently, we’ve seen several attraction refurbishments and paint jobs getting done around the parks. One such replacement happened over at Pirates of the Caribbean.
