food IS a theme park
Something NEW has washed ashore at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
‘Olu Mel is the newest addition to the Duffy and Friends gang at Disney Parks. The whole group has been seen on merchandise like Loungefly backpacks and (slightly creepy) headbands. The cutie pie turtle is now the star of his very own Loungefly backpack!
Welcome back to the monorail loop!
Grand Floridian Lobby
We recently made a journey around the Seven Seas Lagoon. Let’s take a look at what’s new at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
While we love the Disney World theme parks, there’s something EXTRA special about stopping by Disney resorts to see what’s new.

So, we did just that! We stopped by Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Old Key West Resort to see what’s new, and boy, did we find some GEMS!
Well…this is something we didn’t know we needed.
Pineapple Dole Whip
Disney World has really brought us a GIFT today, but before we tell you what it is, we’ve got a few questions. What’s better than Dole Whip? Dole Whip with coconut rum. What’s better than Dole Whip with coconut rum? OH WE’LL TELL YOU.
Disney World’s resorts have been prepped and are ready for the holidays!
Grand Floridian Lobby
We hopped on Disney World’s monorail (and even took a walk) to check out what’s new at the Contemporary Resort, the Polynesian Village Resort, and the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!
If you’re a Disney World fan — there are a few dates in 2021 you need to know…

…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
There’s nothing quite like Disney World during the holiday season!
Grand Floridian Christmas decorations
Disney decorates the parks and resorts to make us feel warm, cozy, holly, and jolly — all at the same time! So far this holiday season, we’ve seen decor pop up at a number of resorts — Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and several others. Now we can add two more resorts to the list because the halls are decked at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort!
We have seen a LOT of Olu Mel at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort lately.

This turtle, who is a friend of Duffy, the Disney Bear, is typically found at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, in Hawaii.
There’s a lot of work being done over at Disney’s Polynesian Resort at Disney World.
Entrance Construction
The resort is currently undergoing a big Moana– themed refurbishment, and we’ve been following a lot of the construction progress!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has served up some iconic drinks over the years, including the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge, and of course the wide array of legendary libations at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

Over at Barefoot Pool Bar, however, we think we just discovered another drink to enter the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and it even came with a fun holiday twist!
