Refurbishments are a fact of life in Walt Disney World. Rides, shows, and attractions are often closed for refreshes, repairs, and technological upgrades, some for longer times than others. In fact, it’s rare to have a day when EVERY attraction at the resort is operational. That’s even true in the busy summer season.
The summer of 2026 will not only see a slew of construction across Walt Disney World’s theme parks, but there will be some smaller-scale closures that guests making a trip from June through August should be aware of.
One way to get an idea of what’s happening in our favorite theme parks is to check out all of the patents that they file! This is how Universal and Disney can claim new technology and ideas that they could potentially use in future attractions.
Both companies file patents all the time, but we found a few recently that are totally making us wonder what the future of theme parks looks like. Technology seems to be getting better every single day, and the rides are getting more wild with every announcement. Here’s a look at a few patents that we think are totally going to change the world of theme parks!
Disneyland is keeping fans in the dark about a looming ride closure.
It’s a great time to visit the Disneyland Resort, thanks in part to the incredibly fun 70th Anniversary celebrations! While expansion projects are underway and there is a bit of construction, most of the offerings are still up and running. I say “most” because a popular ride in Mickey’s Toontown is about to temporarily close TOMORROW, and we have no idea when it’s going to reopen.
We see menu changes happen in Disney World practically every week, and while some of them we’re huge fans of, we’ll also admit that there are others that make us a little sad.
Just recently, we headed over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace to try their new menu offerings (you’ll also find these options at the indoor Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto). However, we’ve gotta admit that they weren’t exactly what we were expecting, and if we’re being honest, some of them we wouldn’t get again.
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!
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.
When you’re in Disney Springs, you’re likely feeling a little overwhelmed by all the different options to explore, especially if you’re looking for a dessert!
We love so many options inside the shopping and dining district, but if there’s one spot that never lets us down, especially during the warmer seasons, it’s Swirls on the Water. We recently headed over to try some of their new menu offerings to see if they hold up to prior versions, and let’s just say we have nothing but compliments.

BIG news for not only McDonald’s fans, but also those out there who still can’t get enough of the KPop Demon Hunters film, and have still been listening to the soundtrack nonstop (fun fact: it’s us).
Previously, McDonald’s has had adult Happy Meals for limited times, and now, they’re bringing it back. This time, there are TWO adult Happy Meals, and both of them are themed to none other than KPop Demon Hunters!
