food IS a theme park
As we get closer and closer to the celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, there’s lots of construction taking place.
Moat Surrounding Cinderella Castle
We’ve got lots of updates to share this week with projects underway in multiple parks and resorts! Let’s check them all out.
We’ve been hanging around Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort a lot lately.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Between refurbishment going on at the monorail station, in the resort, and at the pool area, there’s been plenty to watch! And when we stopped by Barefoot Pool Bar to check out the new costumes, a Cast Member was kind enough to whip us up an off-the-menu drink.
We love looking at all the unique costumes and outfits that Cast Members wear at Disney World!
Capt. Cooks
Disney puts a lot of thought into what Cast Members wear, and sometimes, the company even decides to give Cast Members an outfit upgrade!
If you ask us, there’s no wrong way to eat a Dole Whip!
Pineapple Dole Whip
Whether you keep it classic, amp it up with a splash of pineapple juice for a Pineapple Float, or get a limited-edition concoction like a strawberry-chocolate Dole Whip swirl or the Kakamora Float with coconut Dole Whip, even when Dole Whip is only OK (like you, Watermelon Dole Whip), it’s still pretty darn great!
Disney is making big moves on the construction project over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
As you might have heard, the Polynesian Village is midway through a MAJOR refurbishment (including a Moana-themed room re-do!) that is set to last through the summer of this year. As a part of this, the monorail station temporarily closed at this resort — and now it’s gone completely!
December has been full of restaurant reopenings, menu changes, and a brand new cookie joint at Disney Springs!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
And we’ve been covering it all to keep you updated. But if you’ve missed some announcements specifically about menu changes and updates, here are all the menu updates we’ve seen this past month!
Happy New Year friends!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
There are so many things to be excited about in Disney World in 2021 including the France Pavilion extension with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris, and the Moana-inspired makeover at Disney’s Polynesian Resort! Today, we’re taking a look at the 6 BIGGEST changes coming to Disney World resorts in 2021!
Disney’s Polynesian Resort has been offering a selection of special merchandise from Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii!
Olu Mel and Duffy keychains
We’ve seen a lot of merchandise specifically featuring Olu Mel, the turtle companion of Duffy. He even got his own cupcake! Now, ALL of Duffy and friends can be spotted on a headband made exclusively for Aulani Resort! Oh, and a tropical tote bag caught our eye, too!
We’ve been busy trying out all the holiday snacks at Disney World, and new ones keep popping up every day!
Holidays at the Magic Kingdom 2020
And a lot of those snacks are cupcakes, including Wilderness Lodge’s Christmas Cupcake, an eggnog cupcake, and a red velvet wreath cupcake. And so many of these cupcakes are so pretty to look at, but the proof is in the taste — which is why we buy and try them ALL!
It seems like there’s always some sort of construction going on at Disney World, especially now, as lots of new attractions and refurbishments are being prepared for the park’s 50th anniversary next year.
TRON Construction November 2020
We’ve been following along with all the upcoming projects because we’re so excited to see them getting closer and closer to being completed! There’s definitely a lot to keep track of, so here’s ALL the construction going on in Disney World this week!
