The Disney World Closures (And Reopenings!) You Need To Know About This Week!

By 1 Comment

While we got lots of Disney news this past week about deals and discounts to help make your next trip more affordable, we were grateful that it was another week where major closures didn’t happen around the resort.

Jellyrolls

While there was one closure in Disney Springs, and we found out another one is on its way, we also heard some INCREDIBLE news about a former beloved spot at Disney’s BoardWalk, AND a Disney World ride that’s been under refurbishment for months now actually reopened EARLY! If you’re visiting Disney World soon, these are the closures you need to know about happening before your trip begins.

MASTER LIST of All Closures in Disney World This Week

By Leave a Comment

For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!

A closure is hitting Disney Springs this week!

Now, three out of the four parks are still majorly under construction, meaning there are walls practically everywhere, and this week, one store is closing in Disney Springs, but it feels like we’re officially towards reopenings versus closures, which is a HUGE achievement.

This Disney World Hotel Reopened One Restaurant…Then Announced A Closure For Another

By Leave a Comment

This past week in Disney World, one of our FAVORITE spots opened back up after being closed for SIX years — there was a time when we didn’t even know if we’d ever be able to dine there again, and now, we can!

It’s finally back open!

This past week, on March 19th, the Garden View Lounge in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has finally opened back up its doors for guests to experience its beloved tea experience. Reservations for opening day, as well as the weeks following, booked up fast, but keep checking back for reservations! However, in true Disney fashion, that wasn’t the ONLY upcoming change announced last week.

NEWS: Lime Garage is BACK OPEN at Disney Springs

By Leave a Comment

We’ve got great news out of Disney Springs, especially if you’re looking to park there on busy evenings and weekends!

Lime Garage

While you can head to Disney Springs via a free Disney bus from any of the theme parks or hotels, many people prefer to bring their own cars, or the cars they rented for their trip, so they’re in control of where they park and can leave whenever they’d like without having to wait for a bus. For the past few months, though, parking has been harder than usual, as the Lime Garage has been closed. The good news? It’s finally back open!

We thought there were a lot of changes happening last week in Disney World, but as it turns out, this week is filled with even more big changes that will change the parks for good!

We’ve Been DREADING This Week in Disney World, But It’s Finally Time

By Leave a Comment

There’s a LOT happening this week in Disney World, so if you’re visiting this week or in the upcoming months, you’ve gotta know about these changes ASAP.

Hey Timon!

While there is construction and changes happening all over the resort, a bunch of the changes happening this week are located inside the parks — specifically EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Yes, this is indeed the week we’ve been dreading, and it’s here — this week, not only does Festival of the Arts end in EPCOT, but Rafiki’s Planet Watch closes for MONTHS to make way for a new Bluey experience, and we may never see it the same again.

Disney Springs Is Opening NEW Locations in 2026. Here’s the Full List.

By 3 Comments

While 2026 is a big year for construction at Disney World’s theme parks, Disney Springs isn’t being left out!

LEVEL99 is coming to Disney Springs

Of course, change is a constant in the area, which has transformed from the Lake Buena Vista Shopping Village of the 1970s, to the Pleasure Island revitalization of the 80s, the Downtown Disney era of the 90s and 2000s, before settling into its current Disney Springs incarnation in 2016. So, what’s coming a decade later?

HUGE Announcements Revealed for EPCOT, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and More!

By 1 Comment

Ah, Disney World. We know you’ve got a lot of exciting attractions on the way, but for right now? These closures are kinda crushing our vibe, especially when more and more keep being added!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

This isn’t just limited to the parks, either. Nope, we found out this week that a current construction project will now take us all the way into 2027 (after it’s already been going on for what feels like FOREVER), and considering it’s one of the resort’s most expensive hotels to stay at? Yeah, people aren’t thrilled. There is a bit of good news, though — a popular EPCOT attraction reopened EARLY following an animatronic refurbishment, and now we’re thrilled we won’t be creeped out when we ride it anymore.
