food IS a theme park
We spent a lovely and CROWDED holiday weekend in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
Lots of folks love to spend their holidays in Magic Kingdom and boy did it show this Valentine’s AND Presidents’ Day weekend. We’re bringing you all of the latest in food, construction, and merchandise from Disney World’s flagship park!
It really has been quite the refurbishment saga with the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom.
PeopleMover
This often underrated ride (which has a bit of a cult following) has been under refurbishment for MONTHS. And, that refurbishment has continually been extended. Over the past few months, we’ve seen people working on the ride, and some testing going on, but it still has not reopened to guests. But, today we spotted something that could mean we are one BIG step closer to hoping aboard this ride again!
Disney has quite a few attractions that will be closed next week!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Here at DFB, we’re keeping you posted on every Disney refurbishment so you know what to expect when you visit. Let’s take a look at everything that will be closed from February 15th through February 21st, 2021!
Some Disney World attractions are getting a little TLC this upcoming week!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
We’ve been keeping up with all the closures and scheduled refurbishments in the theme parks. Some attractions are down for routine maintenance while others are closed for larger projects. Let’s take a look at every attraction that will be closed between February 8th through February 14th, 2021!
UPDATE: The Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island will now reopen on Friday, February 5th, 2021.
Disney World has a lot of attraction and restaurant closures scheduled in the next few months!
Rivers of America Refurb
Disney World is ramping up to celebrate its 50th anniversary and sprucing up the place a bit. We’re listing every ride, restaurant, and resort that will be closed for refurbishments between February 1st through February 7th, 2021.
For MONTHS the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has been closed for refurbishment.
PeopleMover Closure
We have been keeping a really close eye on this attraction, but month after month, it’s refurbishment period has continued to be extended. Most recently, the refurbishment was extended through January 30th. We saw the attraction being tested in early January and thought it’s refurbishment might be coming to an end. But, we (unfortunately) must share with you that the PeopleMover refurbishment has been extended once again.
Disney World will often close attractions, restaurants, or resorts for refurbishments. Some closures are scheduled in advance while others are unexpected and due to maintenance issues or other reasons.
Current View of Harper’s Mill
You won’t always find the closures advertised before your trip so it’s good to stay in the know! We’re here to help you plan ahead by listing all the planned refurbishments for this week. Check out everything this will be closed between January 25th through January 31st!
Not every Disney World attraction is open 365 days a year! Some are scheduled to close for touch-ups or large construction projects.
Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island Construction
Some refurbishments are scheduled months in advance and others are in need of maintenance. It’s good practice to know what Disney World rides and shows are closed so you can plan ahead! Knowing beforehand allows you to create an itinerary based on what’s closed and what’s open in the theme parks! Let’s take a look at next week’s refurbishment schedule between January 18th through January 24th, 2021.Â
Several refurbishments are happening in Walt Disney World right now!
Harper’s Mill Construction
Tom Sawyer Island  and the Liberty Square Riverboat are all getting fixed up in Magic Kingdom. Over in Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is going through some Winter downtime, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a full-scale makeover. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is among those that are temporarily closed. But, today we saw a glimmer of hope for a potential reopening.
It’s another beautiful day in Disney World, and we’re visiting Disney’s Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
We’re checking out the food, the attractions, and the construction to see what’s new in Disney World’s OG park. We took lots of photos, so it’s almost as if you’re there with us — let’s go!
