food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
Although much of Disney World has reopened, some hotels and attractions will remain closed through November.
Magic Kingdom
However, please note that at least one hotel has actually REOPENED in November — Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
Here’s a pretty big thing for us to say: Liberty Tree Tavern has historically been one of our favorite restaurants in all of Disney World.
Liberty Tree Tavern
This understated American restaurant located in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square and is teeming with well-thought-out atmosphere. Tasty table-service is hard to find in Magic Kingdom, and the food here is downright delicious. But…we hadn’t visited since before the parks reopened. So, let’s check-in on Liberty Tree Tavern to see if it’s as much of a delight as we remember.
Slowly but surely, fan-favorite offerings are returning to Disney World — even when it comes to transportation!
Friendship Boats
Boat transportation has been suspended in many locations throughout Disney World. Now, they’re BACK in running again from Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian and the Poly.
There are lots of changes to the transportation options at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort today!
Polynesian Monorail Station
As a part of the MAJOR renovation going on at the Polynesian through Summer 2021, the monorail station has CLOSED. For those staying in the DVC Villas and Bungalows, there is now Disney bus transportation available!
There’s a reason Magic Kingdom has the word “Magic” in its name, because it REALLY IS MAGIC; especially considering that it has literally gone from Halloween decorations to full-on holiday decorations OVERNIGHT.
Magic Kingdom Holidays 2020!
You can’t help but crack a smile when you walk in and see all the colorful decor. And we spent a day there just enjoying the views, riding attractions, and getting showered (literally — it did start raining) with the holiday spirit!
Riding the World Famous Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom is always such a good time — a PUNNY good time, if you will.
Take a Jingle Cruise!
But it gets even better every year during the holidays because it becomes the Jingle Cruise! And we just rode the Jingle Cruise for the first time in 2020! Come along with us to see the changes!
Nowadays, character experiences and meet-and-greets are a WHOLE lot different than they used to be!
Alice
But just because we can’t hug our fav characters at Disney World doesn’t mean we can’t wave and swoon from a safe distance! Seeing our beloved characters in the era of social distancing makes our hearts melt that much more, which is why we were SO psyched to see a new princess (distanced) meet and greet at Magic Kingdom!
It’s officially CHRISTMASTIME in the Magic Kingdom!! And, we’re already craving a big cup of hot chocolate and a stroll through some snoap soon.
Magic Kingdom Holidays 2020!
Recently, Disney released a TON of holiday merchandise and we started to see STARS in Hollywood Studios, which hinted at the start of the holiday season in the parks (even though it wasn’t even Halloween yet). But today Halloween is officially OVA, and holiday decor is arriving in Magic Kingdom!
We’ve had a FULL day in the parks for Halloween! We’ve snacked on some festive treats, seen some pretty big crowds, and even witnessed a small fire in the Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
But, we had to leave time to pop into the stores during our visit to Disney World to snatch up any remaining Halloween goodies and start our Christmas shopping!
Sometimes things go wrong in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve seen countless animatronic malfunctions, and boats have sunk with guests in them, but today there was an incident that caused the evacuation of TWO attractions!
