food IS a theme park
There are 25 closures across Disney World right now! Whether you’re headed to the theme parks or a resort, there’s likely a closure right now that could impact your trip.

Sounds like a lot? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple — here are all the closures you need to know about this upcoming week, along with all the most recent updates we have for each one!
It’s been a big week in Disney World for rides, restaurants, and everything in between, and we’re here to keep you updated on it all!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom
A Magic Kingdom ride officially reopened this past week, and we got the official reopening date for another! As if that wasn’t enough, we also got a big update about a long-closed spot in EPCOT, and, while it’s not as joyous, we also know about another pool closure coming to a popular hotel.

Disney has just announced that a fan favorite restaurant will be closing soon. So, if you’re planning a Disney trip this summer, you’ll want to hear this!
Yacht and Beach Club
Especially if you’re planning on grabbing dinner around the EPCOT resort area, which is one of our favorite ways to escape the chaos of EPCOT without fully leaving the parks. We’ll walk out by the International Gateway, grab a quick meal, and then slide back in for an evening of fireworks.
Disney World’s Yacht Club Resort is home to so many different nautical-themed restaurants that we frequent.
Prime Rib Sliders at Crew’s Cup Lounge
We were so sad when Disney closed one of our favorites, the Crew’s Cup Lounge, back in February, but Disney quietly announced the reopening date!
For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!
A closure is hitting Disney Springs this week!
Now, three out of the four parks are still majorly under construction, meaning there are walls practically everywhere, and this week, one store is closing in Disney Springs, but it feels like we’re officially towards reopenings versus closures, which is a HUGE achievement.
We’ve had a VERY busy week, and most of it didn’t even happen in Disney World. After we spent some time on Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Adventure, we made our way to France this week to get a sneak peek at Disney Adventure World in Disneyland Paris.
Breakfast at Crystal Palace
So we’ve been eating food ALL over the world these past few weeks. But don’t worry…we’ll never forget about our beloved Disney World restaurants. We’re still keeping track of Disney World restaurant menu changes, and we’re going to outline all the changes that happened this week.
There are two kinds of Disney World hotel “hacks.” The first kind is smart. Efficient. A little smug, maybe, but in an earned way. These are the tricks that make you feel like you just outfoxed the vacation gods with a cold brew in one hand and a Lightning Lane in the other.
Disney’s Beach Club
The second kind? That’s where things start to wobble off the rails. And nowhere is that more obvious than the EPCOT area hotels.
Easter has arrived at Disney World, and there are so many new sweet treats to celebrate!
Painted Egg Whoopie Pie
We stopped by Disney’s Yacht Club resort to try their new Easter egg whoopie pie. It’s Easter in a dessert!
There are so many construction projects in Disney World right now, it’s a little hard to keep track of them all. That’s why we’re here, though, to help you stay updated on them all!

For months now, we’ve been anxiously awaiting updates on NUMEROUS of Disney World’s upcoming attractions across the different parks, and now, all in one week, we got a TON of updates spanning Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Changes are a fact of life at Disney World. From rides to lands to hotels, and yes, even to restaurants, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a time when somewhat at the resort isn’t in the midst of change.
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Currently, one of Disney’s most popular hotel dining corners is in the midst of a refurbishment that involves two closures, which combined will take up the better part of 2026, and based on precedent could mean some very different eateries opening on the other side.
