food IS a theme park
Does it seem like there are tons of construction projects going on in Disney World right now?
Cinderella Castle
Well, that’s because there are! We’re here to fill you in with updates on the ongoing projects throughout the parks and resorts.
All sorts of updates are taking place across Disney World right now to ensure everything looks bright and shiny for the 50th Anniversary.
Hi There, Disney World 🥰
Some Main Street staples are closed for refurbishment right now, a ride just reopened following maintenance, and we’re still waiting on the PeopleMover to welcome guests once again. Well, now, another Magic Kingdom staple has received an update!
If you haven’t been to Disney World in a while, you may have missed the BIG news that Cinderella Castle is getting a stunning MAKEOVER ahead of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary on October 1st!
Magic Kingdom
That new pink and blue paint job is gorgeous, but next to it, well Fantasyland was starting to look a little less like it flowed with the Magic Kingdom’s centerpiece!
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Disney World, and Disney is getting ready to throw a VERY glitzy birthday party!
Decorations are already going up!
And decorations at Magic Kingdom are already going up! The castle got a spiffy new paint job, along with some brand new GORGEOUS decor! Bonjour Village Gifts just got a new look, AND we’ve even learned that the Main Street Confectionery is about to get a serious makeover!
Disney’s constantly adjusting their procedures throughout the parks.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Lately, we’ve noticed Disney has stopped socially distancing rows on many of their rides. And while slower-moving rides like Frozen Ever After or Living with the Land have installed plexiglass shields between rows, that has not been the case with roller coaster-like rides such as Slinky Dog Dash and Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster. And recently, we noticed another fast-moving ride has gotten the same treatment.
As Disney World continues its phased reopening, modifications have taken place in order to accommodate more guests in certain areas. Without FastPass+ and with the necessity of separating parties by six feet in queue areas, those lines can get mighty long! Since capacity increased last year and more guests are starting to travel again, those lines are only getting longer.
Cinderella Castle
Disney has remedied the ever-growing wait times by shifting from a model of every other row being loaded with guests to a model of EVERY row being loaded with guests.
There are SO many construction and refurbishment projects going on all around Disney World.
This is THE view.
In Magic Kingdom alone, there’s construction going on for the TRON ride, lots of work being done on the castle stage and areas near the castle, and more. And today as we walked around the park, we spotted something new!
We’re back to share a glimpse at the construction projects taking place all over Disney World!
Spaceship Earth
As many transformations take place all over the parks, we’re sharing all the details you need to know (no matter how small!). Let’s dive right in!
Guess where we’re at — go ahead, we bet you’ll never guess!
We will never get tired of this view
Okay, so it’s a pretty easy guess, and yes, we’re at Disney World! Again! We had reporters in three parks today, and they had an amazing time riding rides, eating (because, well, that’s what we do), and wandering around EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios living THE life!
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!
Cinderella Castle
