food IS a theme park
Everyone goes to Disney World to get great sleep, right?

Okay, so maybe that’s not entirely true…but that still doesn’t mean folks can’t get a good nap in from time to time at the Disney Parks. While nap spots at the park are never truly permanent, there are some spots that are especially reliable for seriel nappers! In fact, we’re sharing some of our favorite spots with YOU!
EPCOT has been quite the ordeal, recently. The transformation is officially over now that CommuniCore Hall and Plaza are open, but the changes aren’t stopping there.
EPCOT
If you wander around EPCOT, you’ll likely still see ongoing construction. Near the Imagination pavilion, work is being done on an unknown attraction, the DVC lounge in the Imagination pavilion is getting updates, and Mission: Space is still getting a facade facelift. However, an all-new project is about to begin on Test Track while other refurbishments across Disney World continue.
You know that we are BIG fans of food in Disney World.

There are tons of restaurants all over Disney World. Whether you’re in the parks or at the hotels, you will find any kind of food your heart desires. We frequently visit the restaurants, trying all the new foods, but we also have many classics locations that never let us down. However, there are two restaurants in Disney World that have been closed for a VERY long time, and we keep wondering if Disney will ever reopen them again to their full capacity. Honestly, we miss them.
This past week has been BUSY, y’all!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney gave us a sneak peek at the Country Bear Jamboree, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new foodie guide for Pride month, and we noticed the RE-OPENING date for a very popular ride! There has been a lot of news coming from Disney with more likely on the way. As we enter June, we know we’re in for a busy month ahead. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the festival areas CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in EPCOT are all opening this month. With so much happening in June, why will everyone be going to Hollywood Studios on July 27th? Let’s find out!
It is an exciting week at Disney World!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We get excited any time we get to take something off this closures list. From rides to shows to entire parks, it’s no fun knowing some of your favorite Disney World attractions will be closed while you’re visiting. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you some good news about a Hollywood Studios show this week!
We know that Disney closes rides for refurbishment for good reasons.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Safety is paramount on theme park rides, so regular refurbishments to double-check everything is working properly are very important, plus, a little love and updating go a long way. But sometimes, we have to wonder just what they are doing that takes them SO long and why the ride is closed for many months. One Disney World ride has been closed for five months now, and we’re starting to wonder if there’s an end in sight.
We have been gearing up for summer in Disney World!
Hollywood Studios
Disney announced that several of the attractions currently closed will be reopening sometime this summer! Unfortunately, we still don’t have opening dates. That means, two rides that we are eager to ride will remain closed this week, among several other attractions.
Each week we bring you the latest closures and refurbishments going on around Disney World.
EPCOT
Many of these attractions, restaurants, and even entire parks have been closed for an extended period of time with no reopening date in sight. However, while one restaurant has been closed for its intended purpose for several years now, it occasionally reopens as a completely different venue. Now, on May 1st, we’ll once again see it reopen but NOT as a restaurant.
There are so many fun things to do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Sure, you’ve got some amazing rides like Tower of Terror. You can also step INTO Star Wars in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. You can get shrunk down to the size of a toy in Toy Story Land. The movies theme is STRONG here. However, one movie-themed experience at this park will be closing soon for a refurbishment.
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, there are a few ongoing and scheduled refurbishments you should be aware of.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios already has one major ride in Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith undergoing a lengthy refurbishment and it looks like another Hollywood Studios attraction will join the dreaded “Closed” list. According to the Disney World calendar, the Mickey Shorts Theater is set to close for a temporary refurbishment SOON.
