food IS a theme park
Happy Holidays! We’ve been eating SO many holiday snacks at Disney World!
The Crystal Palace
But we’ve also been at every recent restaurant reopening and kept an eye on menu updates! So here’s what’s happened with Disney restaurants this past week!
When Disney World reopened, many of its restaurants remained closed.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
And while some are still closed, several fan-favorites, like Woody’s Lunch Box, have reopened. Earlier this week, we saw that another dining location at Disney World would reopen soon, and today it has officially reopened!
Another week has gone by and, as always, we’ve seen LOTS of key Disney updates and news announced this week.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
From changes over in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to the return of a fan-favorite nighttime show, we’re sharing the 4 BIGGEST pieces of Disney news you may have missed this week!
There are a lot of runners who are also Disney World fans — which would explain all the cool running events that Disney World hosts throughout the year.

And now runners who visit Disney World have a new store where they can get running gear — Fit2Run has officially opened at Disney Springs!
Many reopened Disney restaurants have opened with slightly different menus or a completely new menu. But we have yet to see a restaurant serving up SEVERAL items from another closed restaurant in the park — until now!
Tomorrowland Terrace Reopening
Sure, you can grab Ronto Wraps or Chesire Cat Tails in a new place now, but we’re looking at Tomorrowland Terrace because it seems to be serving up quite a few old favorites from Columbia Harbour House! The restaurant just reopened today with this new menu, and we had to see how it compared to the original.
Although some restaurants and hotels are still closed in Disney World, we’ve seen some spots start to reopen recently!
Magic Kingdom Crowds
Hollywood & Vine, Woody’s Lunch Box, hotel restaurants, and more have gradually started to welcome guests again throughout Walt Disney World. And today, we’re headed to Magic Kingdom to check out another spot that will join that list — Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant!
This year has been particularly challenging for the travel industry including Disney. First, the company saw the closure of its theme parks all over the world due to the global pandemic. On top of this, Disney Cruise Line sailings are completely halted for the time being.
Disney Wonder
Most recently, Disney Cruise Line canceled any sailings lasting longer than seven nights due to new guidelines by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Previously, the company had already canceled cruises through the end of February 2021.
We’ve been anxiously awaiting reopening announcements for several Disney resorts for months now!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Some of Disney’s resorts have opened fully, like the Grand Floridian, while others are still only partially opened with the DVC sections operating. On top of that, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is currently under construction — undergoing a massive refurbishment to be completed next summer. We previously received an opening date for Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, but now it seems as though that date has been pushed back!
When Disney World reopened earlier this year, after the park closures, several restaurants and hotels reopened with it, but many remained closed.
Wilderness Lodge
Over time, we’ve seen some spots reopen, but several are still closed. Today, however, Disney has announced when one fan-favorite resort — Disney’s Wilderness Lodge — will be reopening!
There is a LOT going on at EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion right now!
Morocco Pavilion
Much of the pavilion recently closed just before Disney took over operations of it from its original operating partners. But this weekend has seen a lot of shops and restaurants at the pavilion reopening!
