food IS a theme park
Disney Greetings from Magic Kingdom, friends!
Magic Kingdom
While many guests are enjoying their spring break vacation at Disney World this week, Cinderella Castle has just started to undergo its lengthy refurb!
Earlier this week, Disney had us all hyperventilating a bit when they announced Cinderella Castle would be undergoing a “royal makeover!”

And at the time, we didn’t know many details about the transformation other than Magic Kingdom’s park icon would be getting a new paint job with a soft, rose gold pinkish hue and sparkly gold trim! But in light of park guests’ growing concerns, Disney’s made few comments to ease our worried minds!
We’re still feeling the excitement over the recent announcement that Cinderella Castle will begin a massive refurbishment in the coming weeks in preparation for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021.

This transformation, which will begin soon and continue through the summer, will result in a very noticeable difference to the castle’s appearance, and we have more details to share about its new look!
While Walt Disney World is getting ready for its big 50th-anniversary celebration next year, there’s been a frenzy of construction and refurbishment happening throughout its theme parks and resorts!

And while our attention has been focused a lot of Epcot right now as we get ready for Regal Eagle Smokehouse, Space 220 Restaraunt, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to debut, we just found out something MAJOR is about to happen at Magic Kingdom!
With the recent (and crazy!) opening of Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios behind us, we can now start looking forward to all the NEW attractions coming to Disney World over the next few years.
There are a few BIG attractions on the horizon that we can’t wait to experience! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! will bring the first roller coaster to Epcot;Â and over in Magic Kingdom, we are anxiously awaiting the opening of TRON Lightcycle Run! But with each new ride opening comes the big question:
There’s a lot happening at the Magic Kingdom right now to get it in tip-top shape for Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021 including the new TRON: Lightcycle Run attraction, which is set to open the year of the big celebration. Gosh, we can hardly wait!

Before then though, there is still some pixie dust to sprinkle on some beloved attractions. If you were planning on taking a trip on the runaway rails of Big Thunder this spring, we have some news for ya. When attraction times went missing back in December, we suspected that the attraction would be going down for a refurbishment, and today we were able to confirm those suspicions.
Disney isn’t the only one getting all geared up for their BIG 50th-anniversary celebration happening in 2021!

While major restaurant chains like White Castle and Portillo’s have recently announced they’d be opening new Disney World-area locations, now the nationwide Drury Hotel Company has revealed its plans to build a new Disney Springs resort location!
Thanks to a slew of exciting announcements at Disney’s D23 Expo, we now know the name of the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster coming to Epcot’s Future World (or should we say the future Epcot neighborhood World Discovery)!
Epcot Future World Re-Imagined!
In between ALL of the incredible news and updates on all things Marvel coming to Disney California Adventure and the BRAND NEW Mary Poppins attraction coming to Epcot, we learned that the Guardians coaster we’ve watched take over the old Universe of Energy will be called Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!

In 2021, Walt Disney World will turn fifty, and we can’t wait to see what kind of epic celebrations are planned for this special event! While we await the details, we thought about all the things we’d like to do at in the World before the big day — some big, some small, and most of them totally unique to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
