Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort

Food Updates — World Premiere Food Court

• World Premiere Food Court has been partially closed for refurbishment. It was set to open fully around August 1st, but that did not happen. Instead, while the restaurant itself is available in a more limited way, it has not fully reopened from its refurbishment. Cast Members have indicated that the refurbishment could last longer than expected. The Disney World website for the restaurant now says: “From July 1 through mid-August, some areas of the World Premiere Food Court will be closed for refurbishment—including the coffee bar and lounge. However, the kitchen will remain open. Seating will be available throughout the dining room and beverage stations will be accessible. During this month, we recommend using the My Disney Experience app to purchase food and drinks for pickup.” See our full post here for more details.
• Update: This refurbishment has been extended through mid-October.

Construction Updates

• The 101 Dalmatians section seems to be getting a light refurbishment and repainting.

Merchandise Updates — Double Feature
