food IS a theme park
Disney World turns 50 years old this year!
Cinderella Castle
That’s a pretty momentous occasion and we’ve seen Magic Kingdom undergo some touch-ups in preparation. The BIGGEST is the new paint job on Cinderella Castle, but the castle isn’t the ONLY spot getting some TLC.
Hop aboard Disney’s Skyliner and you can easily make your way to EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and several of Disney’s hotels, including Disney’s Pop Century Resort and more!
Disney’s Skyliner over Hourglass Lake
Well, recently we made our way onto the Skyliner to visit 3 of the hotels and see what’s new! We’ve got new snacks, a new drink, some cool merchandise, construction updates, and more. So, hop aboard your virtual skyliner and take a trip with us around these spots for all the details.
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
Spaceship Earth
We spent a day hanging around EPCOT to check on all the latest new things, so if you’re ready for some updates, here we go!
Ready to go on a virtual trip around EPCOT?
Spaceship Earth
We’re constantly visiting the Disney World theme parks and more to see what’s new. During our most recent visit to EPCOT we spotted NEW Minnie ears, saw that a spot that JUST opened was CLOSED(!!), and got a look at lots of construction going on around the park. Join us for a virtual trip around this experimental prototype community of tomorrow to see all of the things that are new there!
As part of the EPCOT Transformation, we’ve already seen a new fountain in the park’s entrance, lots of construction basically ALL OVER the park, some parts of the new nighttime spectacular, and more!
EPCOT Fountain
But now, it’s time for something old that is new again. Today, EPCOT’s entrance is looking VERY different because Leave A Legacy has returned!
We’ve been keeping a very close eye on all of the construction going on at Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel).

So far, we’ve gotten a look at it from the ground and seen some pics from the inside, but now we’ve gotten an updated look at the project…from the sky!
There’s quite a bit of refurbishment going on around Disney World right now or scheduled to take place in the next few months.
Magic Kingdom
From attractions to hotel pools, a lot of things are being spruced up. Today, when we visited Magic Kingdom we noticed that some work was also being done at one of the park’s most classic attractions.
We’ve been waiting ever so patiently to experience Avengers Campus at Disneyland Resort.

The closure of the Disneyland theme parks delayed the opening of the upcoming Avengers-themed land in Disney California Adventure. We’re not sure when Disneyland will reopen and we’re not sure if Avengers Campus will open with the parks, but the new land was looking a little different above the construction barriers last night.
Some Disney World attractions are getting a little TLC this upcoming week!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
We’ve been keeping up with all the closures and scheduled refurbishments in the theme parks. Some attractions are down for routine maintenance while others are closed for larger projects. Let’s take a look at every attraction that will be closed between February 8th through February 14th, 2021!
We have been waiting to eat at Space 220 for a WHILE now.
Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220
This new restaurant coming to EPCOT is set to send guests onto the Centauri Space Station where they’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Earth from SPACE. The restaurant was supposed to open back in 2019, but it has been delayed for a number of reasons. Today we spotted something that might indicate there’s some more progress being made.
