Something is missing at EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve been going to EPCOT a lot for the Food and Wine Festival, and we noticed something was missing during our tour around World Showcase. We’re here to share all the details with you!
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is here, and there’s so much to explore.
What’s going on in the Morocco Pavilion?
There are over 35 food booths to visit, hundreds of special food and drink offerings only available through the end of the festival (November 22nd), not to mention the Eat to the Beat concert series you can jam to throughout the festival. However, there’s a SECRET lounge that’s returning this year that will be ESSENTIAL for keeping yourself cool and hydrated throughout your park day.
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with a WHOLE LOT of perks.
Disney World Annual Pass
Not only do you get access to the parks pretty much whenever you want (depending on the type of pass you have!), but you also get special discounts, merchandise, and more. And, every once in a while, Disney celebrates Passholders with a MAJOR event and extra perks — but a major perk is ending soon.
We always want to make sure you are as prepared as possible for your Disney World trip, so we want to make sure you know about closures that could impact your Disney World vacation! The good news is that Disney often lets us know about closures ahead of time so you can be prepared. However, there can still be unexpected closures during your trip. Rides could have technical difficulties, or weather could affect some operations.
Magic Kingdom
You can’t control or plan for those things, BUT you can plan ahead for planned closures at Disney World. We are rounding up everything that will be closed this week, so let’s take a look!
Are you a Disney World Annual Passholder?
Disney World Annual Pass
If so, you probably already know a lot about how you can use your pass to enter Disney World theme parks, as well as how to get discounts on everything from food to souvenirs. You probably also know you can use your pass for exclusive merchandise and fun freebies. Well, now, your Annual Pass can also get you exclusive access to a lounge — with free snacks and drinks — in EPCOT.
We always want to make sure you are as prepared as possible for your Disney World trip, so we want to warn you that a popular Disney World restaurant is closing this week! The good news is that it is only closing temporarily, but we don’t want you to plan a meal at it, only to find out it is closed.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
We have all the details about this restaurant closure, and we are also rounding up everything else that will be closed this week. Let’s take a look!
We always want to make sure you are as prepared as possible for your Disney World trip, and one thing you need to be on the lookout for is possible closures and refurbishments. We don’t want you to be disappointed when you roll up to your favorite ride only to find out it is closed for refurbishment.
Magic Kingdom
There are TWO big changes to the closures in Disney World this week, and we want to make sure you are aware of them. Plus, we are also rounding up everything else that will be closed this week.
We are getting close to being ONE month out from the opening of two brand-new Disney shows in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! On April 27th, we will be just one month away from the debut of Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After and “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.”

We have been waiting (not so) patiently for the grand opening show, and we are getting closer and closer! However, we still have a bit before they open. Let’s take a closer look at what these shows are replacing and what else is closed in Disney World this week.
Disney World is currently preparing for numerous new experiences in the coming years and refurbishing current attractions. Brand-new lands, including Pueblo Esperanza, Monsters, Inc. Land, and Villains Land will be coming. Plus, new lounges like the GEO-82 lounge in EPCOT will be opening, and new shows such as “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” in Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be debuting.

As well, Test Track, Big Thunder Mountain, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will also be refreshed. While we are excited about new openings and refreshed attractions, these updates also mean there will be closures that could impact your trip.
An iconic entertainment venue on Disney’s Boardwalk is closing in Disney World soon! You only have ONE week left to grab a few more drinks and sing along to the dueling pianos at Jellyrolls, so make that one week count.
Jellyrolls
Jellyrolls at Disney’s BoardWalk is officially closing on April 19th, 2025. This entertainment venue has provided our team with countless memories, and we know many others are also sad to see it close.
