food IS a theme park
Heading to Disney World soon?
Magic Kingdom
You’ll want to make sure you’re prepared for any of the closures that are happening inside the parks or resorts. Whether for construction, updates, or other changes, Disney World will occasionally close different attractions and other things around the parks. We’re looking around at all the refurbishments going on to see what rides and hotels will NOT be available in November. [Read more…]
We’re used to seeing construction walls around Disney World as Cast Members update attractions and areas around the parks.
Construction Walls in EPCOT
Recently we’ve seen some walls come down in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, both around the Main Street Confectionery and from in front of the Country Bear Jamboree. Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, however, we recently saw some new walls go up around a ride that has closed forever.
UPDATE: This post was originally written in April of 2021. The refurbishment timeline has been updated. See the latest details below.
The summer will be here sooner than you know it, which means that a lot of Disney-goers will be headed for the resort pool at some point during their stay.
The Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation
Disney tends to prepare for the summer pool crowds throughout the winter season, with refurbishments happening when most guests aren’t hitting the pool to cool off. In 2021, the Hippy Dippy Pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort and the Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort got an update, along with some refurbishments at other hotels. Now Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is planning for a refurbishment of their own.Â
Liberty Square Market in Magic Kingdom closed for refurbishment in early January.

Do you remember the VERY different OG versions of these rides? Let’s find out!
