food IS a theme park
We keep track of the new updates in the Disney World parks, but sometimes there’s big news at the hotels around them as well!
Polynesian Village Resort
Today, we’re going to look at a couple of Disney World hotels that have gotten some updates since we last visited.
Happy Friday everyone! Are you ready to catch up on ALL the big Disney news from this week?
Chip and Dale
Perfect! Then you’ve arrived at the right spot. From news about Annual Passes to all kinds of Halloween updates and photos of the adorable, new 50th Anniversary statues, there’s a lot to share this week. Let’s dive in!
Right now in Disney World, there are several new things to try and see, like a new playground in EPCOT, the 50th Anniversary golden character statues, and Boo Bash in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.
Hi Mickey!
But what about things that aren’t available right now? We’re looking at what’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week so that you’re prepared for your upcoming vacation.
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.
