food IS a theme park
UPDATE: At this time Mobile Order is available once again at Polynesian Village Resort dining locations including Kona Cafe and Captain Cook’s.
Like all places, things happen at Disney World.
Kona Cafe
We’ve seen malfunctioning animatronics, evacuations of attractions, and attractions closed due to technical difficulties. But sometimes, problems happen at resorts, too.
It’s that time again — that time when we look at all the restaurant and menu updates at Disney World for the week!
La Cava del Tequila
And we didn’t have that many this week, but be sure to check out some of our reviews for some special snacks we discovered at the parks, including a Valentine’s Day coffee beverage, some yummy marshmallows, and Bubble Tea Mochi! Now on to the updates!
Well, folks, we’re returning to one of our absolute favorite table-service restaurants in Disney World.
Beaches and Cream Soda Shop
Beaches and Cream Soda Shop is a casual table-service spot at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and we absolutely ADORE it — and so do lots of other Disney guests! After all, how can you go wrong with diner favorites like burgers, grilled cheese, comfort food galore, and MASSIVE sundaes?
We’ve eaten our share of cupcakes at Disney World, and we’re always on the hunt for more!
P & J’s Southern Takeout
From an Orange Cream Cupcake to a Cotton Candy Cupcake to a New Year’s Eve Cupcake, we’re no stranger to trying interesting cupcakes. And it seems our job is never done because Disney World is always releasing NEW cupcakes!
Aloha! You know Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy, but have you ever heard of ‘Olu Mel?
‘Olu Mel Merchandise
If you’re a fan of Duffy the Disney Bear, then you might be familiar with this turtle friend. And now if you’re headed to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii, you can meet ‘Olu Mel yourself!
Now that we’ve put the holidays behind us, we’re getting ready for the most romantic day of the year: Valentine’s Day!
Art of Animation Resort
And we’re already seeing some Valentine’s Day things popping up in the parks and online, including Minnie ears, A Valentine’s Day Mickey and Minnie Doll Set, and even a Valentine’s Day Disney Dooney & Bourke collection!
Disney World will often close attractions, restaurants, or resorts for refurbishments. Some closures are scheduled in advance while others are unexpected and due to maintenance issues or other reasons.
Current View of Harper’s Mill
You won’t always find the closures advertised before your trip so it’s good to stay in the know! We’re here to help you plan ahead by listing all the planned refurbishments for this week. Check out everything this will be closed between January 25th through January 31st!
Disney is making big moves on the construction project over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
As you might have heard, the Polynesian Village is midway through a MAJOR refurbishment (including a Moana-themed room re-do!) that is set to last through the summer of this year. As a part of this, the monorail station temporarily closed at this resort — and now it’s gone completely!
While we’re exploring Disney resorts, we can sometimes get a little thirsty.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
While out and about last week, we found a brand-new drink at Disney’s Riviera Resort that we just had to come back and try.
Aloha! While we love visiting Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to soak in all the Hawaiian vibes, it’s extra special when we can visit Disney’s resort in Hawaii!
