food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at the Monorail Resorts!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
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!
Some Disney World attractions are getting a little TLC this upcoming week!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
We’ve been keeping up with all the closures and scheduled refurbishments in the theme parks. Some attractions are down for routine maintenance while others are closed for larger projects. Let’s take a look at every attraction that will be closed between February 8th through February 14th, 2021!
Ever since Disney World reopened, entertainment has been pretty different.
Magic Kingdom
Even the iconic projections on Cinderella Castle have barely been around. We saw them briefly around Christmastime, but that’s it. However, we noticed that Disney was testing projections on the castle tonight!
It feels like just yesterday it was New Year’s Eve, and now it’s already almost February!
Walt Disney World Gateway
Things are constantly changing at Disney World, and February of 2021 will be no exception. From new treats and refurbishments to a brand NEW exhibit, here are some of the biggest changes coming in February!
UPDATE: The Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island will now reopen on Friday, February 5th, 2021.
Disney World has a lot of attraction and restaurant closures scheduled in the next few months!
Rivers of America Refurb
Disney World is ramping up to celebrate its 50th anniversary and sprucing up the place a bit. We’re listing every ride, restaurant, and resort that will be closed for refurbishments between February 1st through February 7th, 2021.
There is quite a lot of construction going on all around Walt Disney World, and especially over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The guests rooms at the hotel are getting a Moana-inspired makeover, and we’ve seen some massive construction going on at the Great Ceremonial House and monorail station as part of the refurbishments. Now, part of the pool area at the hotel will be closing soon for a bit of refurbishment as well.
Disney World will often close attractions, restaurants, or resorts for refurbishments. Some closures are scheduled in advance while others are unexpected and due to maintenance issues or other reasons.
Current View of Harper’s Mill
You won’t always find the closures advertised before your trip so it’s good to stay in the know! We’re here to help you plan ahead by listing all the planned refurbishments for this week. Check out everything this will be closed between January 25th through January 31st!
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!
It’s another beautiful day in Walt Disney World, and we’re heading to visit the monorail resorts!
