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.

By 2 Comments

New photos show an aerial view of the construction progress at Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom. We have been keeping a close eye on the construction from the ground, but with all the construction walls, it can be hard to see what is happening in the area.

However, Bioreconstruct just shared a ton of new photos, giving us a glimpse into what is happening behind the walls. It is always exciting to see the progress in new areas at Disney World, so let’s take a look at these new photos!

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.

One Disney World Park Is Struggling With Closures More Than Any Other

By Leave a Comment

While construction is everywhere in Disney World right now, there’s one park that’s really getting hit extra hard — Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

New Animal Kingdom Map

This week, the remainder of DinoLand U.S.A. closed forever to make way for the new Tropical Americas land, which takes another ride away from guests visiting the park for now, as well as other attractions like certain meet and greets, dining at Restaurantosaurus, and the closure has made walking around certain parts of the park much harder. We thought things couldn’t get harder for this park, and then Disney made ANOTHER announcement about a temporary closure.

2 Disney World Icons Are Closing for Good This Week – And We’re Not Okay

By 1 Comment

Another part of Disney World will be closing for good this week. It has been more than a year since the first round of closures started at DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This week, we have to say a final goodbye to this land. We have so many amazing memories in this area, and we are going to miss it!

We will miss you, Dinoland U.S.A.!

While the closure will make way for something new at Disney World, it is still a sad time to lose something that has brought so much happiness over the years. We will miss you greatly, DinoLand U.S.A.!
