food IS a theme park
Although much of Disney World has reopened, some hotels and attractions will remain closed through November.
Magic Kingdom
However, please note that at least one hotel has actually REOPENED in November — Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
Slowly but surely, fan-favorite offerings are returning to Disney World — even when it comes to transportation!
Friendship Boats
Boat transportation has been suspended in many locations throughout Disney World. Now, they’re BACK in running again from Magic Kingdom to the Grand Floridian and the Poly.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has served up some iconic drinks over the years, including the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge, and of course the wide array of legendary libations at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

Over at Barefoot Pool Bar, however, we think we just discovered another drink to enter the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and it even came with a fun holiday twist!
The sparkliest cupcake this side of the Seven Seas Lagoon just got a late autumn makeover!
Halloween Cupcake With Rocky Road
You may recall the Rocky Road Cupcake, which glittered and glistened its way back into Captain Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort this year as one of the many Halloween treats that hit the scene. Though Spooky Season has ended (and, ICYMI, the holidays are pretty much HERE!), you can still enjoy it… but in a new way! [Read more…]
There are lots of changes to the transportation options at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort today!
Polynesian Monorail Station
As a part of the MAJOR renovation going on at the Polynesian through Summer 2021, the monorail station has CLOSED. For those staying in the DVC Villas and Bungalows, there is now Disney bus transportation available!
As you might have heard, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting some MAJOR work done right now.
Polynesian Monorail Station
The Polynesian is set to remain closed through the summer of 2021 for refurbishments in most areas of the resort, including a Moana-themed makeover to the guest rooms. As a part of this work, the monorail station at the resort is now closed.
We’re getting ready for the holiday season to officially arrive in Disney World on November 6th, but we’ve spotted a LOT of holiday merchandise and more in Disney already!
Holiday Bag
From the Snowflake Mickey Balloon Ears to a personal snoap machine, the holiday fun is already beginning. And now, another festive item has made its way to the Walt Disney World Resort hotels!
We’ve made quite a few trips out to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out the construction progress, and we were even able to run into our old friend, Coconut Man, what a joy!
Coconut Man!
We’ve seen quite a few construction signs, entrance changes, and more at the hotel, and recently we spotted another update!
SPRING BREAK, WHOOO!!! OK, Spring break is a popular time of year not just for college kids on break but for families too. And for many families that find themselves with a week off and are looking for a vacation, Disney World fits that bill nicely. Not only are kiddos are usually off from school, but the weather is more comfortable than in the sweltering summer months.
Magic Kingdom
But with all of the new protocols and safety measures, does it make sense to visit Disney World for spring break in 2021, or should you skip it this year?
Listen. 2020 has been a WILD ride. There have been times when even the animatronics wanna throw in the towel and fast-forward to 2021. We found something today that really brightened up our day, year, and possibly entire life.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We wandered over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to grab a cold one and take in the view of Seven Seas Lagoon. We expected it to be a typical day at the Poly with construction updates and possibly eat a new treat. We did NOT expect to be swept off our feet with the return of an INCREDIBLE coconut cup.
