If You Visited Disney World Last Week, Things Already Look VERY Different

By Leave a Comment

This past week was a RARE one at Disney World in the absolute best way!

Hurly-Burly

For what feels like the past few months, we’ve seen closure after closure in Disney World. Even if they were just temporary closures, like how The Diamond Horseshoe closed after becoming Jessie’s Roundup for Cool KIDS’ SUMMER to become a new pop-up restaurant opening on October 4th, others were long-term closures, such as the Carousel of Progress retheme. That’s why this past week was so special, and we’re on track for a great upcoming week — we’re looking at tons of OPENINGS happening around the parks, instead of closures!

By Leave a Comment

Disney decided this was THE WEEK to drop all the news! We got news about next year’s EPCOT Festivals, discounts coming for 2027, new After Hours event dates, and so much more. In fact, that doesn’t even cover what actually happened IN the parks this past week.

2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

Buckle Up! We’ve Got YEARS To Go Until All of This Construction Is Done in Disney World

By 1 Comment

Well, things WERE slowing down in Disney World for a second there, but it seems Disney has decided to kick things up a notch again!

New eats at the Turf Club Lounge

It was a pretty even split between new closures announced this past week, as well as finally seeing certain spots open again, or taking large steps towards reopening. Are we devastated that we found out one of our favorite Disney Springs restaurants will soon be closing? Yes, but we’re also relieved that a popular mode of transportation also finally reopened at a Disney World hotel this past week, so again, it’s all about balance.

Refurbishment Hits Yet ANOTHER Disney World Hotel

The construction and closure news isn’t slowing down around Disney World, despite how much we’d love for it to. It’s our job to keep you up-to-date, so that’s exactly what we’ll do!

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

One Disney World hotel is having some pretty serious issues with a water outage, though the hotel itself hasn’t closed because of it, and another Disney World hotel just began a pretty big construction project this past week. Though, we are happy to see that one construction project inside the parks has taken a big step forward!

Disney World Added MORE Hotel Construction Projects, And No One Is Surprised

By Leave a Comment

Well, we got one slow week in Disney World, and apparently that was the last one we’ll have for (probably) a long while.

Saratoga Springs Resort

While there haven’t been too many changes to the Disney World hotels right now, Disney did give us a heads up that multiple projects are on their way that we need to be on the lookout for in the coming weeks. If you’ve been thinking of booking a Disney World hotel reservation for the coming months, you may want to take a look at these new projects first to help aid in your decision.

Transportation at One Disney World Hotel Got a Lot Harder This Week

By Leave a Comment

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but it was a mostly quiet week in Disney World!

Old Key West Dock

We’re not taking that for granted, especially considering the month of August is about to be intense. We’ll be at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event earlier in the month, followed quickly by the first nights of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash, and then we’ve got EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival to finish up. If you’re heading to Disney World soon, though, there is a new change you need to know about, on top of all the existing closures.
