food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
This may be some of the best Disney news you’ve heard all week — this was a week of NO new temporary closures in Disney World! We know it sounds impossible, but it’s true.

However, next week? Well, we never know what new things the parks may throw at us, but we can tell you about the closures already happening to make sure you’re well prepared!
Magic Kingdom gets HOT, and here at Disney Food Blog, we’re always on the hunt for frozen treats that will keep us cool. And what’s better than ice cream on a sunny Florida day?
It’s time for a caffeinated sweet treat!
Disney replaced one of our favorite under-the-radar ice cream floats that delivered one of the most satisfyingly caffeinated pick-me-ups in Magic Kingdom. Does its replacement hold up? Let’s find out!
Disney World is making A LOT of changes right now, especially in their theme parks.
Walls are up at Carousel of Progress!
We don’t want you to be met with any surprises during your trip, so we’re here to tell you about the attractions that will be closed for refurbishment in October. Don’t worry, there are only four of them…but one of them is a WHOLE park!
Disney has filed a new construction permit for one of the Magic Kingdom’s oldest attractions: The Enchanted Tiki Room.
Let’s go in the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room!
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, an East Coast take on the classic Disneyland animatronic show located in the Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, is set to see some construction, according to the latest permit Disney has filed with the Orange County, Florida, Comptroller’s Office.
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom has seen so many changes this year, and even more are on the horizon. The Diamond Horseshoe will transform into a cowboy-themed lounge for a limited time this fall!
Diamond Horseshoe
The Diamond Horseshoe will open on October 4th with a brand-new menu, and reservations open on September 29th. But Disney just majorly changed the reservation process!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, there are so many different spots to try. But one park that always seems to struggle to provide great options is Magic Kingdom, specifically at the quick-service restaurants.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Well, we recently stopped by Pinocchio Village Haus in Magic Kingdom to try a few items, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Let’s see if this spot can redeem Magic Kingdom’s bad quick-service reputation and if it’s worth a visit on your next trip!
Do you hear those jazzy tunes? If not, you certainly will soon! A beloved Disney World Cast Member is returning to the parks, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Carol Stein, lovingly known as Carol the Piano Lady, has come out of retirement to join the lineup of Casey’s Corner pianists at Magic Kingdom! A 36-year cast member, Carol recently took her place behind the Casey’s Corner piano, bringing decades of musical experience and Disney storytelling to the heart of Main Street U.S.A.
Disney World may be magical, but sometimes things happen that make it a little less than magical. For example, sometimes rides close due to weather, technical issues, or other reasons. Sometimes, fireworks get delayed or canceled.
Transportation and Ticket Center
Well, today, those people looking to go to Magic Kingdom from the Transportation and Ticket Center were met with a massive delay because the Express Monorail to the park is currently closed. And, well, that’s caused some issues getting to the park.
Walt Disney wasn’t opposed to many things when it came to creating his theme park, but the one thing he was against was alcohol. Although he passed before the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, the rule of no alcohol was honored… until 2012.
Alcoholic Beverage Menu
Yes, alcohol was served before 2012 in the other theme parks, but we’re strictly talking about the Magic Kingdom. This is the park that’s seen as the epitome of Disney World — the one people think of when it comes to planning a vacation to the “Most Magical Place on Earth…” The one that makes you feel like a kid again. And now 10 restaurants break Walt’s number one rule.
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Projects like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and Pueblo Esperanza are taking center stage when it comes to changes, but they aren’t the only ones going on.
