food IS a theme park
Nowadays, we’ve grown accustomed to things changing at Disney World. In addition to TONS of additions and new construction, this frequently means nostalgic items (and clown slides…) are removed!
Tron Lightcycle Run Construction
At Magic Kingdom, the epicenter of Disney World nostalgia, we noticed some longtime fixtures have been removed from Main Street, U.S.A.!
As with MANY parts of EPCOT, big changes are afoot in the World Showcase, and new updates are emerging seemingly on a daily basis!
World Showcase
This is especially true of the Morocco Pavilion! Although much of it is newly closed, the shops have JUST reopened!
We’re back with this week’s Disney construction updates!
Polynesian Resort Construction
We’ve been in the parks and all around Disney World this week so we noticed a few changes to the ongoing construction! Let’s take a look at the projects going on at some of the resorts, parks, and Disney Springs!
With social distancing markers throughout Disney World these days, we’ve gotten used to waiting in weird lines that zig and zag ALL over the place…

But one thing we NEVER expected was waiting INSIDE a temporarily closed Liberty Square restaurant in Magic Kingdom to ride Peter Pan!
We’ve been waiting for EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, for quite some time!

We’ve been itching to hear more news about the show, and Disney has shared a little bit of information with us, like the fact that the barges for the show are going to form a water feature during the day. We’ve seen some photos of these new platforms backstage, and yesterday the first set piece made its way onto World Showcase Lagoon. Today, we stopped by EPCOT to FINALLY see it for ourselves!
In case you wanted to ring in the new year with Indian-style Bread Service or Thai Coconut Meatballs, you’re in LUCK!
Sanaa Bread Service To Go!
While New Year’s Eve is certainly going to look a LOT different this year, Disney World announced that quick-service restaurants, pool bars, and lounges at its resorts will be open late for the holiday!
After Disney World’s reopening this summer, Disney has continued to clarify its health and safety guidelines, including its requirement that guests wear masks.
Pandora Face Masks
Since the initial announcement, Disney has updated its requirements to the kinds of masks that guests can wear at Disney World, as well as updated its announcements about facial coverings.
EPCOT is home to lots of fun festivals, and the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is right around the corner!
Epcot Festival of the Arts 2020
The upcoming festival will go on from January 8th through February 22nd! We can’t wait to see all the amazing art and specialty food, but today we’re excited to share the festival’s entertainment line-up!
While the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is currently in full swing, another festival is just around the corner!
Spaceship Earth
That’s right, just a few days after the current EPCOT festival ends, another one is set to begin! The 2021 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is set to run from January 8th through February 22nd. And while Disney already announced a new Food Studio for the upcoming festival, we now have a full list of which booths to expect!
With just a few months left to go in 2020, Disney World is starting to get more 2021 merchandise in stock around the parks and resorts!
2021 Ornaments
We’ve already seen 2021 MagicBands, ornaments, pins, and more make their way into Disney World stores in recent weeks. And now, we spotted another new addition for those ready to say GOODBYE to 2020!
