food IS a theme park
Several refurbishments are happening in Walt Disney World right now!
Harper’s Mill Construction
Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat are all getting fixed up in Magic Kingdom. Over in Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is going through some Winter downtime, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a full-scale makeover. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is among those that are temporarily closed. But, today we saw a glimmer of hope for a potential reopening.
Are you planning to visit Disney World in January?
Walt Disney World Gateway
There are certainly plenty of things to do in Disney World at all times of the year. However, we’ve put together a little list of the BEST things to do in January!
Merry Christmas Eve, DFB friends!
Dapper Dans
We spent the day at Magic Kingdom as we continue to enjoy some great holiday entertainment, character cavalcades, and holiday snacks at Disney World! And we took some photos to bring you along with us today, so are you ready?
Each land in Magic Kingdom has something special to offer.
Magic Kingdom
We love the futuristic feel of Tomorrowland, Adventureland gives us our Dole Whip fix, and Fantasyland just screams “classic” Disney. Liberty Square is home to our favorite happy haunts and delicious Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake from Liberty Tree Tavern, and we love plummeting down Splash Mountain in Frontierland. Plus, Main Street just makes us feel like we’re at home. It’s hard to imagine Magic Kingdom without each of these iconic lands…but we asked you to do just that!
We absolutely LOVE spotting new menu items!
The Lunching Pad
That’s why we pay such close attention to any menu updates. Disney recently announced that some new breakfast items would be making their way to Magic Kingdom, and we had the chance to try them this morning!
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.
Construction is happening ALL over Disney World!
Tomorrowland
We have so many exciting projects to look forward to including Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. And on our latest visit to Magic Kingdom, we noticed some MAJOR progress to the upcoming TRON Lightcycle Run!
The Annual Passholder pop-up shop in EPCOT was a true treasure trove of deals and cool merchandise!
Merchandise
Although the pop-up shop is no longer available, Annual Passholders will soon be able to shop for some exclusive merchandise at 4 locations in Magic Kingdom!
From Star Wars hotels to Ratatouille rides, there are a LOT of new things to be excited about at Disney World these days!
TRON Coaster at Magic Kingdom
When it comes to attractions we CAN’T wait for, we’ve been eagerly following the construction progress of a particular thrill ride at Magic Kingdom, and thanks to the latest construction update, that anticipation is only growing!
UPDATE: On Friday morning, the Cheshire Cat Tail was NOT available at The Lunching Pad. We were directed to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe to pick up our pastry. We were told it may only be available at one location or another at a time.
It’s no secret that the Cheshire Cat Tail is one of our favorite Magic Kingdom snacks!
Cheshire Cat Tail
When the parks first reopened, we went on quite the quest to find our beloved pastry snack! Cheshire Cafe, the snack stand where you can usually order this beauty, still hasn’t reopened — so the pastry made its way over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. For a while, Cosmic Ray’s was the only place you could order the cat tail…until now!
