food IS a theme park

D23 is the official Disney Fan Club, and their big Destination D23 event is scheduled for this November to celebrate Disney World’s 50th anniversary. We recently learned a BUNCH of important details about the event, but now we’ve got an update on purchasing tickets!
Even though it’s still a few months away, we’re gearing up for the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!
Who’s ready to celebrate?!
We’re marking our calendars to check out the new fireworks shows, the special character costumes, and all the stunning decorations coming soon. And now, it looks like there’s going to be a special dining experience as well!
The Wave…of American Flavors is a restaurant located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort near Magic Kingdom. This spot usually serves up fresh, market-inspired meals all day long.
The Wave
We’ve enjoyed breakfast here in the past, however the restaurant is currently under refurbishment. In the meantime, you’ll find The Wave’s breakfast up at the California Grill on the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort! We wanted to check out how the dining experience had changed by moving the same meal to a completely different restaurant, so let’s check it out!
Big changes are coming all over Disney World! With several resorts getting refurbishments or overhauls and a ton of new rides like the Tron coaster coming soon, there’s plenty of construction going on at the parks and resorts!
The Lobby of Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Today, we’re checking out the construction progress at the monorail resorts: Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
We have seen loads of new snacks this year for the Fourth of July, and there is nothing we love more than new snacks at Disney World, ESPECIALLY when they are themed for the holidays.
Firecracker Cone at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
We had to stop by the Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort that is located RIGHT next to Magic Kingdom, to try the latest cupcake on their menu.
We’re used to seeing a little construction in Disney World, as they’re constantly working to improve the rides, attractions, and resorts in the parks!
Construction in Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Here’s a look at everything that we’re expecting to see closed for refurbishments in Disney World this week!
Disney World is constantly changing and that can make for a lot of construction.
Contemporary Construction
Sometimes refurbishments can impact guest experience too, whether visually or even with closures! Well, there are certainly some refurbishments causing closures in Disney World right now and if you’re headed to the parks, you’ll want to know ’em! So, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for June 28th through July 4th, 2021.
There are a LOT of refurbishments and construction projects going on all over Disney World.
Something New is Coming to Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
In terms of the hotels, last year Disney announced that guest rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort would be getting a Moana-inspired makeover. Later, we saw that some guest rooms at Disney’s Contemporary Resort would be refurbished and “reimagined” this year. We’ve seen construction ongoing for this refurbishment, but no specific details about what those refurbished rooms would look like or be inspired by had been shared…until NOW!
It seems like something is ALWAYS under construction in Disney World.
Construction at the Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been working on its entrance and they are updating their rooms to include a Moana theme. The Harmonious barges in the World Showcase Lagoon regularly seem to have people working on them, the Jungle Cruise has been getting updates for the past few months, and TRON Lightcycle Run is still in progress! A few months ago, construction began on the main guest rooms at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and today we wanted to show you what the hotel currently looks like.
Sometimes, we’ll see closures around Disney World.

These can be caused by maintenance or refurbishment — and if you’re heading into the parks, you’ll want to know what projects are goin’ on! So today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for June 21st-27th, 2021.
