food IS a theme park
Disney World fans are some of the most loyal and dedicated fans in the world.
Fans were eager to share their opinion on the new castle makeover.
And there are times when Disney World fans are so overwhelmed by news, events, and announcements that it — sometimes literally — breaks the Internet.
Things at Disney World are getting back to normal.
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
Entertainment is back. Fireworks have returned. We’ve got reopening dates for hotels. And we’ve seen a lot of restaurants reopen this summer, with more reopenings on the way. Speaking of which…we’ve got another bit of reopening news to share with you, and we think this one will get you as excited as we are!
Disney World is so busy right now with refurbishments to get ready for the big 50th anniversary celebration that begins on October 1st!
Main Street Confectionery
EPCOT is getting a MAJOR transformation, Cinderella Castle got a makeover, and Fantasyland got a few new golden accents.
We can’t even fathom everything that’s happened since last year — 2020 was a crazy year to say the least! Disney World closed and reopened. And we watched as health and safety guidelines went from being prominent at the parks to being phased out.
One of our FAVORITE resort lobbies…Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
What a year, right? And there are STILL things at Disney World that haven’t reopened yet, including restaurants AND hotels. But that’s changing, too. Many of our favorite snack spots have reopened, along with many of our favorite restaurants, and we now have official reopening dates for the rest of Disney World’s hotels!
Things are slowly beginning to get back to “normal” at Disney World.
JAMMIN’ Chefs!
We’ve seen the end of many of the resort’s health and safety guidelines, the return of summer crowds, the return of entertainment, the return of fireworks, and the return of ride pre-shows. We’ve also seen the company announce the return of in-person runDisney events AND the return of the Disney College Program.
There are a TON of reopenings happening right now in Disney World, with more resorts and restaurants starting to welcome back guests!
‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort
Today, we’ve got yet another reopening to report and it’s a big one. The EPCOT Monorail line is back!
So many of our favorite snack spots, restaurants, and hotels are reopening at Disney World!
Welcome to the Polynesian!
And we’re especially excited about the reopening of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in just a few days! In the meantime, we’ve been enjoying the newly-reopened ‘Ohana there. But today, we noticed a snack spot at the resort had also reopened!
In case you didn’t hear, Disney’s Polynesian Resort is going through some HUGE changes this year! The entire front of the resort is being overhauled, rooms are being rethemed to Moana, it seems like everything is changing!
Inside Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
With so many big changes coming to the Polynesian and the reopening date just around the corner, it isn’t surprising that one of the bigger projects at the resort still needs a little bit more time before it’s ready!
We don’t know about you, but all these restaurant and hotel reopenings at Disney World have got us really excited!
Citricos
We can’t wait to revisit places like the Port Orleans Resorts and we were SO excited to finally eat again at ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. But today takes us to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where Citricos has finally reopened!
With Disney World and Disneyland both moving closer and closer to being fully reopened, we can now start to think about other aspects of Disney that have yet to fully reopen, like the Disney Cruise Line.
The Disney Wonder
Today, we heard about another development regarding Canada’s cruise ban that moves us closer to seeing the Disney Cruise Line back in action.
