One of the best things about Disney World is that it’s always changing! However, with change comes construction. Whether it’s new attractions like TRON: Lightcycle Run or big refurbishments like the EPCOT Transformation, chances are that you’ll spot some construction on your Disney trip!

Recently, we spotted some new construction at one of Disney World’s park icons!
You may have forgotten to turn your calendar to November this morning, but Disney World sure didn’t because the holidays are HERE!
Main Street Christmas Decorations!
Disney transformed the parks overnight, installing the iconic GIANT Christmas tree in Magic Kingdom and decking out the rest of Main Street, U.S.A. But, it’s not just the parks that get a jolly makeover for the season — the Disney Resorts are getting in on the action too! We stopped by Disney’s Beach Club Resort this morning to watch the life-sized carousel start to take shape and while we were there we couldn’t resist trying a treat or two…or FOUR.
Star Wars pickles, limited time cocktails, and plenty of treats? Yup, it’s Halloween in Disney World, folks!

What’s that tall, modern building off in the distance? It’s the Swan Reserve hotel! The new hotel is located next to the Swan and Dolphin Resort near EPCOT, and we can’t WAIT for the grand opening.

Ever since Disney World reopened to guests in 2020, the parks have seen shorter wait times, smaller crowds, and lower capacities. As things begin to return to “normal”, we’ve seen some changes around the parks and resorts. The further into the year we get, the more Disney is beginning to feel like it did before the pandemic.

But one major thing is still pretty different in Disney: many international guests haven’t been able to visit Disney World since reopening. Soon, though, that will change.
Happy Halloween everyone! It’s the spookiest day of the year and you know what that means: awesome costumes!

In Florida, Disney World has been slowly returning to “normal” with modified character meet and greets and an optional outdoor mask policy. Importantly, though, safety is at the heart of all of Disney’s decisions, which is why Disney suspended entry into one of its theme parks on Halloween.
