food IS a theme park
We spent a LOVELY day in Disney World’s flagship park yesterday!
Magic Kingdom
Some things are certainly different from the last time we popped into the Magic Kingdom, so we’re bringing you an update with alllll the news in construction and merchandise!
ALERT. There has been a new development in the PeopleMover saga.
We Miss You PeopleMover
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom has been down for refurbishment for MONTHS now. It keeps getting a new reopening date, and then having that date change as the refurbishment gets extended again. Most recently, the refurbishment was set to end in February, but that has sadly changed.
Depending on the time of year, Disney typically has a few attractions that are down for maintenance at any given time.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We keep you up to date on everything that’s closed in Disney World so you know what to expect on your vacation! Here’s everything that will be unavailable between February 22nd and February 28th, 2021.
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’s Art of Animation resort is getting a pretty MAJOR makeover.

Following the ongoing overhaul of the Big Blue Pool, next up are the giant character pages along the entrance! That’s right: this Disney World hotel is getting a facelift.
Over the past few months, quite a few changes have been made when it comes to Disney World transportation — including the monorails.
Monorail Station at Walt Disney World Ticket and Transportation Center
Capacity in the monorails is now limited, there are vinyl barriers between some of the sections, and distancing barriers have been added to the rows on some of the monorails to help increase capacity. For a while, Monorail Red has been out for refurbishment, but today it was BACK with a new look! Join us for a full look at that this monorail looks like now and what distancing measures it’s using.
Disney has quite a few attractions that will be closed next week!
