food IS a theme park
Hello world travelers! We’re back with another what’s new in EPCOT!
China Pavilion
We recently visited the park to give you the latest updates on food, merchandise, construction, and more, so follow along with us!
There is a LOT of refurbishment and construction going on or set to take place soon all around Disney World.
Tree of Life
Lots of hotel pools are getting some love, several attractions are down for refurbishment, other attractions are set to undergo some refurbishment soon, we’ve spotted some scrims covering up part of the castle stage in Magic Kingdom, and Kali River Rapids is closed for refurbishment in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Now, ANOTHER ride has joined the refurbishment list — and this time, it’s over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
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!
Last year, Cinderella Castle got a whole new look with some bolder blues, some pink tones, and gold touches.

We’ve also seen other areas around Disney World getting some makeovers like the Train Station on Main Street, U.S.A., the Magic Kingdom entrance sign, and even the Disney World entrance signs. But, now it looks like Disney has potentially started another refurbishment project at Cinderella Castle that’ll definitely make your Castle pics look a little…different.
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!
Hooray for Hollywood! We’re constantly visiting all of the Disney World theme parks to see what’s new and recently our adventures took us to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios
We’ve got an update on some recent wait times, an updated look at one spot, and more! Come with us on a virtual tour of the park to see what we found.
There’s quite a bit of refurbishment going on around Disney World right now or scheduled to take place in the next few months.
Magic Kingdom
From attractions to hotel pools, a lot of things are being spruced up. Today, when we visited Magic Kingdom we noticed that some work was also being done at one of the park’s most classic attractions.
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!
The Rivers of America and the surrounding area has been under a lengthy refurbishment!
Liberty Square Riverboat at Magic Kingdom
The river was completely drained and construction work was happening on the guide rails for the Liberty Square Riverboat. We also saw work being done on Tom Sawyer Island and the dry riverbed. The river has recently been refilled and we were expecting the attractions to reopen on March 1st, 2021. It seems Disney is a little ahead of schedule and they may open a little early!
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.
