food IS a theme park
It may still be May, but we’ve already got summer fun on the mind!
Polynesian Lobby
And we’re not the only ones! Disney World has already had some signs of summer popping up! We’ve already spotted a Memorial Day Cupcake today and now there’s ANOTHER Memorial Day treat!
Sometimes, construction will take place in Disney World for some reason or another.
Main Street Confectionery is officially closed!
This can be caused by maintenance or refurbishment — and you’ll want to keep an eye out for any closures during your trip! So today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for May 31st-June 6th, 2021.
Disney World is welcoming a lot of guests right now for the long holiday weekend. In fact, we’re hearing reports that travel to Orlando this Memorial Day Weekend is close to 2019 tourism levels!
Capt. Cook’s!
If you happen to be one of those many travelers in Disney World over the next few days, we found a specialty cupcake at Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to commemorate the upcoming holiday.
Headed to Disney World next week?
EPCOT
Well, you’re probably going to get packing pretty soon! If that’s the case, it’s important that you know what kind of weather you can expect when you get to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Will it be dry? Hot? Rainy? Let’s take a look at next week’s forecast!
We love a shiny new Disney Dooney and Bourke Collection!
Uptown Jewelers
These designer bags are typically very eye-catching and often inspired by some of our favorite characters and films. We’ve seen everything from a Tinker Bell collection to bags inspired by very RARE characters. Well, the upcoming collection might just feature the most obscure Disney characters yet… .
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel that isn’t actually a hotel) will be opening in 2022!
A Model of the Halcyon in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
So far, we’ve gotten a look at some of the characters you’ll meet during your intergalactic journey, a peek at the “real” lightsaber guests will get to check out there, and an update on some signage coming to the hotel. But what does the construction at the actual hotel look like right now? How are things coming together? We’ve got an update and are sharing it all with you!
Earlier this year, Disney announced that the Magical Express will be discontinued in January of 2022.
Disney’s Magical Express
Mears, the company that operates the Magical Express for Disney, later announced that they will be offering a new transportation service that will essentially replace the Magical Express. Previously, Mears’ new service was set to become available for booking in May of 2021, but it seems like things may have changed.
Disney’s latest live-action reinterpretation of an animated classic, Cruella, is now in theaters and available on Disney+ via Premier Access!
Amorette’s Patisserie
This week, Disney World has rolled out some new treats inspired by the movie. We already checked out the XOXO, Cruella at The Ganachery, but now we’re heading to Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs to celebrate the arrival of the new film!
When it comes to over-the-top snacks, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew at Disney Springs knows how to truly go OVER the top.
There’s a reason we keep going back to Everglazed…
And we’ve had some truly outrageous — and delightful — creations here. We have some seriously happy memories about trying our first Donut Grilled Cheese (don’t knock it until you try it), a donut that had a peep on it, and a coffee with tiny cookies IN it.
The unofficial kickoff to the summer season has arrived! With Memorial Day right around the corner, we can expect big holiday crowds at Disney World!
Animal Kingdom
Park capacity is slowly increasing, but does that mean we’ll see additional Park Pass Reservation availability? Let’s take a look at that plus the park hours for the week of May 30th, 2021!
