food IS a theme park
It’s time for another round of What’s New at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World!
Disney Springs Orange Bird Wall
We spotted some new merch, reviewed some tasty treats, and found new places to find all your Halloween gear this week! Let’s get started.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios!
Once Upon a Time
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, entertainment, and construction updates, so let’s dive right on in!
While we have loved visiting the World Showcase’s restaurants and riding Test Track again, EPCOT has a pretty big maze of construction in the park right now.
EPCOT
Although we’ve been giving you a look at everything we find during our park walks (even pumpkin spice goodies and HUGE discounts), it looks like Disney World could be moving forward with one of its new pieces of entertainment in EPCOT!
Walt Disney World is working on quite a few construction projects lately!
Elephant on Kilimanjaro Safaris
We’ve been keeping an eye on the progress of TRON Lightcycle Power Run in the Magic Kingdom and making frequent Disney Skyliner rides to see how Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is doing. We popped into Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see if we could find anything new since our last visit. We spotted something very interesting while taking a bumpy ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris!
Projects like TRON Lightcycle Run, Harmonious, the PLAY! Pavilion, and more have officially been in the works at Walt Disney World, after being halted during the closure.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Concept Art
But those aren’t the only major projects Disney is working on again. Disney has also been moving ahead with their plans for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
Disney World is pushing forward with lots of upcoming projects! Cinderella Castle is now pink (we’re still not over it!) and the moat is FINALLY filled again.
The Cinderella Castle Moat
But one of the biggest projects we’ve been checking up on is TRON Lightcycle Run, which is set to debut in Magic Kingdom next year.
While there are some unexpected and new changes happening around Disney World, we have been thrilled to see so many projects pick construction back up now that the parks are open!
EPCOT
The pink Cinderella Castle just had its moat filled in, the Grand Floridian Walkway has continued to near its completion, and ALL the construction on EPCOT’s France Pavilion is charging full steam ahead!
Yesterday, Cast Member previews gave us insight into some of the new Walt Disney World construction updates like the reveal of the newly freshened up Cinderella Castle.
Magic Kingdom
We recently saw a curious-looking big blue wall go up in the middle of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. (Spoiler: it was installed to isolate the visiting NBA players from Disney guests.) While taking a ride on the monorail, we noticed progress on a different Grand Floridian construction project we’ve been keeping our eyes on for a while.
Although Disneyland has postponed its re-opening, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t still pixie dust to be sprinkled over the parks!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
While Downtown Disney still plans to open again on July 9th, over at Disneyland Resort, construction has resumed on a few projects!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
World of Disney
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
