We’re taking a look at big and small updates that we’ve noticed during our trips to Disney World’s parks and resorts this week. Let’s check them out!
Hello to all our DFB Friends! Ready for the latest updates?
Well, thank you!
We’ve been wandering ALL over Disney World’s hotels checking out all the new food, merchandise, construction, and more. And we’ve got some updates for you, so let’s get to them!
There has been SO MUCH going on over at Disney’s Polynesian Resort — the entire resort is getting a serious glow-up!
Construction at the Polynesian
The resort is set to reopen in July, and reservations are already open to guests! We’ve seen a sneak peek at the remodeled Moana-inspired rooms, AND we’ve seen the Cast Members in brand new outfits! So as construction starts to wind down, some things there are starting to reopen.
Even though it’s been quite some time since Disney World closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still lots of things around the resort that have remained closed.
Spaceship Earth
Between the rides, restaurants, and resorts, there are a lot of locations that have yet to welcome guests again. Here’s a quick look at everything that still hasn’t opened in Disney World.
Please Note: We have been updating this post since its initial publishing so information regarding returning experiences and reopenings is current.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new look inspired by Moana!

The resort has been undergoing some lengthy refurbishments to incorporate the new theme and is expected to reopen later this summer! We’ve already gotten a first look at the Moana-inspired guest rooms, and now we’re seeing a little more from the resort’s Cast Member preview!

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

Well today, we’re breaking it ALL down for ya.
