food IS a theme park
We’ve been hunting down Halloween treats in Disney World lately, and we’ve found some pretty delicious ones!
The parks are full of Halloween decor!
So far, we’ve tried Haunted Mansion Chocolate Eclairs, a Halloween Milkshake that tastes like candy corn, and more! But the treats are still coming. We found a NEW themed dome cake at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort today and it features an obscure Disney character.
It’s an exciting day at Disney World!
Disney’s Polynesian Monorail has reopened!
Although Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort re-opened in July, one thing did not re-open with it — the Monorail. The Monorail at the Polynesian has been under construction since last year as a part of the resort’s overhaul. But we’ve got some good news — as of today, the Monorail at the Polynesian is running again!
Rides and hotels across Disney World are constantly being updated and improved, so we see them close for construction or other reasons periodically.
The Main Street, U.S.A. Railroad Station
Just so that you’re aware of any closures that are happening during your Disney World trip, we checked out which rides and hotels are expected to be closed soon. Keep in mind that rides can still close unexpectedly if bad weather, technical difficulties, or other issues create problems that make them unsafe to ride. We can anticipate some of the refurbishments, though! Here’s a list of all the scheduled Disney World closures for September.
Welcome to our update of what’s going to be closed in the Disney parks this week!
Construction Walls in Magic Kingdom
A few rides and attractions remain closed for construction, but one ride is coming off the list of refurbishments to reopen in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Let’s take a look at these and other closures going on in Disney World so that you know what to expect on your upcoming trip.
We’re back at ‘Ohana again for the second time this summer (not that we’re complaining)! ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort updated their menu recently to bring back a few old favorites that we know and love.
‘Ohana
Of course, we had to head over to try out the updated menu! Let’s head in to see what yummy dishes have returned and which are not available anymore. More importantly — do the changes make it BETTER?
Calling all fellow cupcake lovers! Remember that Moana cupcake we told you about yesterday from Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Lobby at Polynesian
Well…if you love Moana and cupcakes then you might be thrilled to know that there’s ANOTHER Moana cupcake also available at Disney’s Polynesian Resort right now, and this one is the official treat released in celebration of World Princess Week. We’ve been trying all kinds of new princess desserts (like the Belle cheesecake or apple pie Snow White cupcake) around the parks and resorts lately, so we just had to stop by the Poly to check this one out.
Even if you plan out every detail of your Disney World trip, things can still be unpredictable.
Rain in Disney
Rides can shut down, the weather can be bad, or transportation can be late. Sometimes you can even have issues with where you’re staying on property, which is exactly what happened today at a popular Disney hotel.
Aloha from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The Polynesian Resort is home to a ton of delicious eats and treats, like the Pork Dumplings and Noodles at ‘Ohana and the famous Dole Whip served at Pineapple Lanai! Recently, the Barefoot Pool Bar, located right beside the main Volcano pool at the Polynesian, started serving food! With so many incredible options already available, is this little spot worth a visit?
There are LOTS of hotel renovations happening in Disney World.
Lots of Construction
Some that we’ve been following are the renovations coming to Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows and the updates coming soon to the Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Now, Disney has announced one big change that’s coming to the villas at both of these resorts!
Have you had POG juice at Disney World before?
POG at the Barefoot Pool Bar
It’s made of Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava juices all mixed together to create a delicious, fruity drink. We usually find POG Juice (sometimes also referred to as Jungle Juice or potentially by other names) in places like Dawa Bar and Tusker House Restaurant in Animal Kingdom and ‘Ohana and Kona Café in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. But lately, we’ve been seeing some things with POG Juice have been changing! And many readers have been reaching out with concerns! So what’s really going on with this delicious drink?
