food IS a theme park
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World, so much so that it’s often hard to keep up.
Grand Floridian Resort
Things seem to always be under construction (EPCOT, we’re looking at you); new restaurants are being built, new lands are being proposed, and more. Parking is another thing that has changed in Disney World, including how you park at a hotel where you have a dining reservation.
Is your Disney World trip all planned and ready to go? You’ve got your top-priority rides mapped out? All those restaurant reservations set?
Cinderella Castle
Before you go, we have to make sure you know about a few ride and restaurant CLOSURES that might affect your vacation! Check out this list of temporary closures for the week of September 17th through the 23rd.
Ah, fall is in the air… and apparently in all of the latest Disney World treats too.
Fall is in the air
We didn’t possibly think it was going to get any more autumn-festive than the treats we tried on the first night of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party but with so many new pumpkin spice-flavored treats popping up in parks we decided to see what else may be out waiting for us in the most unexpected places!

Disney World hotels have some of the absolute best restaurants on property.
Disney’s Grand Floridian
From ‘Ohana to Boma to Topolino’s Terrace and more, plenty of our favorite Disney World eateries can be found at the hotels. Trust us, some of these spots are even worth going out of your way for, and if you’re planning an upcoming trip — there’s a closure you might want to know about.
The Grand Floridian hotel has been undergoing some pretty big updates.
Lots of work is being done
The hotel has been getting some major refurbishments done. We’ve seen scaffolding around the buildings and inside the lobby. Well, good news: we have a new update on a bit of the construction zone!
One of the most important parts of your Disney World trip (in our opinion) is what you choose to eat! There are lots of great options for snacks and meals in the parks, but there are also some less-than-stellar eats to watch out for.

WARNING! Several rides and restaurants are going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week.
Magic Kingdom’s Parking Entrance
If you’re planning a trip to the parks soon, you’ll want to know what’s NOT available for you to do during that vacation. To help you plan, let’s take a look at what will be closed from September 10th through the 16th so that you’re prepared for your next trip.
If you’re planning to visit or stay at the Grand Floridian Resort in Disney World soon, we’ve got some GREAT news for you!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
This hotel’s lobby has been looking pretty rough recently as Disney updates and refurbishes the space, but now those construction walls have disappeared, and the lobby area is looking better than ever!
Update: Though heavy construction continues on the exterior of the hotel, it seems that the construction within the lobby has ended and the construction walls have been removed.
Could one of the most ICONIC holiday displays in Disney World be in danger this year?
Grand Floridian Lobby at Christmastime
The holiday season typically brings a number of unique decorations and celebrations to Disney World. At EPCOT, 2023 will bring the return of the International Festival of the Holidays. This year, we’ll also see the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the start of the NEW Disney Jollywood Nights party. The holiday fun extends beyond the parks with decor, snacks, and more at Disney Springs and Disney’s hotels. But we’re very worried about one particularly iconic holiday display this year…
For the amount of money you’ll wind up spending on your Disney World resort, you’re BOUND to fall in love with it immediately… right? RIGHT??
