food IS a theme park
Disney World is home to some of the best in world-class entertainment.
Frozen Sing Along Lightning Lane
From the Festival of the Lion King to the action-packed Indiana Jones EPIC Stunt Spectacular to the Dapper Dans to the new Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond, you can expect to be entertained to your heart’s content in Disney World. However, it looks like one show in Disney World is temporarily closing.
When it comes to great dining, it’s hard to beat EPCOT.
Rose & Crown
Where else can you eat around the world without even leaving the park? Want Canadian-inspired food? Visit Le Cellier. Craving crepes? Head to La Crêperie de Paris in France. Morrocan? Spice Road Table is serving up delicious dishes in Morroco. If it’s classic British food, though, you’ll want to dine at Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room in the U.K. However, you may not be able to dine there soon!
It might only be May, but EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is coming up sooner than you think!
Food and Wine 2021
The festival begins on July 14th and runs all the way until November 19th, 2022. We already know about some of the returning food booths, and we know that the Eat to the Beat concert series and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeek will be coming back. While July might seem far away right now, Disney will be getting ready sooner than you think, and one of those preparations includes closing an attraction!
Since 2020, we’ve seen Disney Parks close due to the ongoing global health crisis.

Some parks have closed and reopened, while others have closed, reopened, and closed again. Now, one Disney Park is closing its doors completely to guests as of tomorrow due to the situation with COVID-19.
Although many things have returned to somewhat “normal” in Disney World, we’re still waiting for some restaurants and shows to reopen.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
One show located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been closed since March 2020, but before that it featured dinner AND entertainment, with performances celebrating Polynesian traditions. We just received an update about the future for this show, and you might be disappointed by this news.
Although Disney World water parks aren’t quite as popular as the theme parks, they still get their share of guests wanting to cool off on a hot Florida day.
Typhoon Lagoon
The Blizzard Beach water park recently closed for refurbishment, but Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon recently reopened (and brought some new snack options with it!). Typhoon Lagoon isn’t always available, though. In fact, it will be temporarily closed on select days in January.
Ever since Disney Springs first reopened, we’ve seen quite a few restaurants, resorts, and attractions follow after.
Disney Springs first reopened last May.
There are still quite a few things that are closed, including the NBA Experience in Disney Springs. But now, it looks like that particular offering may not be reopening at all!
Disney World is still phasing out a lot of their previous health and safety guidelines, and we’re seeing more and more attractions and pre-shows return.
Disney World
This week we saw Disney announce return dates for several attractions, closing dates for two shows, and a surprise reopening. Shall we review?
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction over at Magic Kingdom!
Main Street, U.S.A.
With Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary quickly approaching, quite a few areas around property have been getting a little spiffying up. One of those is Main Street Confectionery! This spot is closed in March for a pretty lengthy refurb, and we’ve been watching the progress from afar. And today, we noticed a BIG change!
We’ve seen quite a bit of work going on in Magic Kingdom!
Main Street, U.S.A.
Between Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary transformation, some miscellaneous happenings, and refurbishments, the park has been bustling with construction. But now, we have some good news! A fan-favorite shop is scheduled for reopening.
