food IS a theme park
Big changes are coming to Disney World, and some of them are already underway!
Main Street U.S.A.
From new lands inspired by Monsters, Inc. and the Disney Villains to attraction overhauls to update technology and make for a smoother ride, your next Disney World trip could include some very different plans! And today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of one ride update to show you what’s coming.
It’s not uncommon for Disney World hotels to get some work done!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
A little nip here, a tuck there, an entire resort-wide hotel room makeover…sometimes it’s casual and sometimes it’s major. Currently, one of the resorts that’s getting a big overhaul is the Grand Floridian. The lobby here is getting some big changes, and we’re here to share the progress!
There is a lot happening at Disney World right now, and we don’t want you to be caught off guard by closures! There are numerous attractions and restaurants closed right now, and we want to make sure you know about every single one of them.
EPCOT
Lots of changes are happening, including construction on three new areas: Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, Monsters, Inc. Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But there are even more closures in addition to closures for those expansions. Let’s round them up, so you know what will be closed if you are in Disney World this week.
We are LESS than a month away from the reopening of a popular EPCOT attraction!
Test Track
This ride has been closed for over a year, and we recently had the opportunity to preview the attraction before it officially reopens.
There are a lot of exciting projects in the works at Disney World right now. From Pueblo Esperanza, the Tropical Americas land coming to Animal Kingdom, a whole new villains land going beyond Big Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom, and even smaller projects like a fully updated Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin.
Construction Walls featuring Artwork for Tropical Americas
We keep track of all the new projects and search for as many details as we can so you can learn more about your favorite Disney Park. Disney has just dropped two new permits, which are giving us clues as to what’s to come for two new projects.

Even more CLOSURES are going to hit Disney World in July. Shocking, I know!
