food IS a theme park
We thought there were a lot of changes happening last week in Disney World, but as it turns out, this week is filled with even more big changes that will change the parks for good!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Last week’s changes took place primarily in Animal Kingdom, but now, it’s time for Disney’s Hollywood Studios to join in. Yes, that’s right, the day has officially come — starting this week, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will officially close to make way for its new Muppets retheme!
There’s a LOT happening this week in Disney World, so if you’re visiting this week or in the upcoming months, you’ve gotta know about these changes ASAP.
Hey Timon!
While there is construction and changes happening all over the resort, a bunch of the changes happening this week are located inside the parks — specifically EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Yes, this is indeed the week we’ve been dreading, and it’s here — this week, not only does Festival of the Arts end in EPCOT, but Rafiki’s Planet Watch closes for MONTHS to make way for a new Bluey experience, and we may never see it the same again.
We can’t resist a key lime pie treat here at DFB. And we particularly love it when that key lime pie is on a stick. Delicious and easy to take with you wherever you are headed. There is never a bad time to grab a key lime pie treat, so when we were at Disney’s Old Key West Resort recently, we couldn’t help but grab one!
Frozen Key Lime Pie
You can find the Frozen Key Lime Pie at Good’s Food to Go at Disney’s Old Key West Resort. You can snag it for $9 and enjoy it while overlooking the water! It’s always a good day when you can enjoy a key lime pie on a stick at Disney World.
Ah, Disney World. We know you’ve got a lot of exciting attractions on the way, but for right now? These closures are kinda crushing our vibe, especially when more and more keep being added!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
This isn’t just limited to the parks, either. Nope, we found out this week that a current construction project will now take us all the way into 2027 (after it’s already been going on for what feels like FOREVER), and considering it’s one of the resort’s most expensive hotels to stay at? Yeah, people aren’t thrilled. There is a bit of good news, though — a popular EPCOT attraction reopened EARLY following an animatronic refurbishment, and now we’re thrilled we won’t be creeped out when we ride it anymore.
While construction is everywhere in Disney World right now, there’s one park that’s really getting hit extra hard — Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
New Animal Kingdom Map
This week, the remainder of DinoLand U.S.A. closed forever to make way for the new Tropical Americas land, which takes another ride away from guests visiting the park for now, as well as other attractions like certain meet and greets, dining at Restaurantosaurus, and the closure has made walking around certain parts of the park much harder. We thought things couldn’t get harder for this park, and then Disney made ANOTHER announcement about a temporary closure.
Another part of Disney World will be closing for good this week. It has been more than a year since the first round of closures started at DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This week, we have to say a final goodbye to this land. We have so many amazing memories in this area, and we are going to miss it!
We will miss you, Dinoland U.S.A.!
While the closure will make way for something new at Disney World, it is still a sad time to lose something that has brought so much happiness over the years. We will miss you greatly, DinoLand U.S.A.!
If you were planning on spending a relaxing day by the pool at Disney World, you need to know about another Disney World hotel pool closure that is starting this week! It is a popular time for Disney to temporarily close pools for maintenance, as cooler weather in Florida makes them less in demand. With this week’s newest pool closure, there are now 5 Disney World hotel pools closed.
Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort
We are here to make sure you always know what is happening at Disney World. We have all the details on this week’s closures, so you won’t be caught by surprise. We are rounding up ALL the closures in Disney World this week, so let’s get started!

We are here to make sure you always know what is happening at Disney World. There are THREE new pool closures starting this week, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise. We are also rounding up ALL the closures in Disney World this week.
September has arrived! Now, if only we could get some crisp, cool fall weather in Central Florida. Although it may not always feel like fall in Disney World, that doesn’t stop us from celebrating Halloween!
Main Street, U.S.A. decorated for Halloween!
Admittedly, one of our favorite parts of the Halloween season is trying the festive treats at Disney World! This year, there are TONS of Halloween snacks available. From returning classics to new desserts, we’re here for the FOOD. This time, we’re traveling to Disney’s Old Key West Resort to try a NEW treat!
So, you’re planning a trip to Disney World, and you’ve narrowed it down between two of the most ICONIC Disney resorts in existence (you lucky, lucky person!).
