food IS a theme park
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.
Happy February! We’ve made it to month two of 2021, and we’re definitely excited about it!
Cinderella Castle
January had a LOT of big Disney news, and we’ve got just as much to look forward to in February. We’re still waiting on several announcements, like opening dates for attractions, but even so, there’s plenty going on in the parks. Let’s dive into the 10 things you need to know about February in Walt Disney World!
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!
Headed to Disney World soon? We’ve got an important update!
Mad Tea Party
If you’re looking forward to spending a day in the Magic Kingdom, you might be disappointed to see that a classic attraction is set to CLOSE for refurbishment. Here’s which one and WHEN!
It feels like just yesterday it was New Year’s Eve, and now it’s already almost February!
Walt Disney World Gateway
Things are constantly changing at Disney World, and February of 2021 will be no exception. From new treats and refurbishments to a brand NEW exhibit, here are some of the biggest changes coming in February!
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.
There is quite a lot of construction going on all around Walt Disney World, and especially over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The guests rooms at the hotel are getting a Moana-inspired makeover, and we’ve seen some massive construction going on at the Great Ceremonial House and monorail station as part of the refurbishments. Now, part of the pool area at the hotel will be closing soon for a bit of refurbishment as well.
Disney has made countless updates to its attractions over the years!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen characters added to rides, like on “it’s a small world” in Disneyland and on Pirates of the Caribbean. We’ve seen complete overhauls of attractions, like with Journey Into Imagination with Figment and the upcoming Princess and the Frog re-theme of Splash Mountain. Now, Jungle Cruise, one of Disney’s most classic rides, is getting some changes, and we’re discussing all of them!
Sometimes, fan-favorite attractions go under refurb in Disney World.
Skyliner
Whether an attraction goes down for five days in a row like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, or a refurb has gone on for what feels like ages (we’re looking at you PeopleMover), it happens all the time! Although the Skyliner isn’t exaclty an attraction, it has become an integral part of the Disney transportation system, and tomorrow a portion of the Disney Skyliner will be closed.
