food IS a theme park
Heading to Disney World soon? You need to know this!
Hi Mickey!
When it comes to Orlando’s Disney resort, there are a lot of changes going on right now. Classic rides are being refurbished, new lands are under construction, and now, we’ve spotted some more construction that might throw a wrench in your Disney plans.
There’s always some kind of construction going on in Disney World, whether that be at the parks, hotels, or anywhere in between. This week, we spotted some major updates at two very popular hotels!
Grand Floridian Resort
Both Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort are experiencing lots of construction as Disney updates the hotels and adds new things. This week, we stopped by both spots a couple of times to check out the progress. [Read more…]
Disney’s Hollywood Studios seems like it’ll become THE place to be pretty soon. Fantasmic! is returning soon (on November 3rd!), the Green Army Drum Corps are going to be back in Toy Story Land next month, and a new restaurant called Roundup Rodeo BBQ will open this year. But what ELSE is new?

Those are some pretty big changes coming to this park, but a ton of other, smaller changes happen almost every day. Our reporters find all those changes and we keep you updated with everything that’s new and different! Come along with us now to find out what’s changed since our last visit to this park.

What do barbecue, rodeos, and Toy Story all have in common?
Howdy, partner!
They’re all going to be part of Disney’s upcoming restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ! This spot, located in Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will be a table service restaurant once it opens. So what’s going on with this upcoming restaurant now, and when can we expect it to finally open its doors and welcome guests inside? We’re giving you all the updates right here! [Read more…]
Parts of EPCOT look a bit like a maze right now, with a LOT of walls up to hide construction sites. This park is in the middle of a major (we’re talking years-long) transformation, which has already brought us 2 new rides, a few new restaurants, and an extension of the France pavilion in World Showcase. Now, we’ve got an update about another EPCOT project that’s currently in the works!

Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is a walk-through attraction coming to the World Nature section of EPCOT. This is the big construction site that you’ll see right behind Spaceship Earth. We’ve seen some concept art for this attraction, and we’ve been tracking the project’s progress, which you can see from the EPCOT Monorail. But now Disney has released NEW concept art! [Read more…]
We’ve all got a favorite Disney World hotel, right? Maybe you love the bougie vibes of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, or you might prefer the bright colors and fun artwork at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. And who doesn’t want to wake up to a giraffe right outside their window, like you can at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge? Whichever hotel you prefer, you’ve got to admit that Disney knows what they’re doing when it comes to themed accommodations.
Aloha!

It’s time for another update on what’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week.

If you’re heading into the parks next week, there are a few attractions, restaurants, and rides that you won’t be able to visit due to some scheduled refurbishments. We’ll take a look at each one and let you know when these will be available again.
Rides and hotels across Disney World are constantly being updated and improved, so we see them close for construction or other reasons periodically.
The Main Street, U.S.A. Railroad Station
Just so that you’re aware of any closures that are happening during your Disney World trip, we checked out which rides and hotels are expected to be closed soon. Keep in mind that rides can still close unexpectedly if bad weather, technical difficulties, or other issues create problems that make them unsafe to ride. We can anticipate some of the refurbishments, though! Here’s a list of all the scheduled Disney World closures for September.
Welcome to our update of what’s going to be closed in the Disney parks this week!
