We’ve also been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus because they are ALWAYS changing, so let’s take a look at the menu changes we found this week.

Do you visit the water parks when you go to Disney World?

Blizzard Beach

Disney World is home to both Blizzard Beach Water Park and Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. The parks generally rotate being open throughout the year so that one of them is available for visitors at a time. They’re a great way to enjoy a slightly more relaxing day than you would have at one of the theme parks, and if you’re a water park fan, we’ve got good news for you!

ALERT: 3 Important Closures Are Happening NOW at 3 Popular Disney World Hotels

By Leave a Comment

Popular Disney World rides will close now and then for refurbishment, which means you may miss out on riding them during your vacation.

Magic Kingdom

It’s no fun to get to the parks to find a ride closed down, but Disney has to ensure that all of their rides are working properly and make adjustments to them when needed. But we get really excited when we get to report that a ride or attraction is re-opening which is the case this week! While there are still a few closures around Disney World, one very popular ride at Magic Kingdom will be opening once again.

2 Disney World Rides Will Be Closed for Refurbishment in September 2024

By 3 Comments

Fair warning if you’re traveling to Disney World this fall. 

Magic Kingdom

On the surface, September 2024 seems like a great time to visit Walt Disney World. Crowds should be thinner than the busy summer season, and the heat will be much more manageable (though you’ll likely see some rain). Plus both the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and Halloween season — including Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — will be in full swing. However, there’s something you need to know: Some of the parks’ most popular rides will be CLOSED.

Reopening Date for an Ongoing Disney World Hotel Refurbishment Has Been DELAYED

By Leave a Comment

Last week we shared that a Disney World hotel refurbishment would be ending.

Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort

Unfortunately, not all refurbishments go as planned. Occasionally, Disney has to make adjustments to their timelines and that’s what we’ve seen for one food court at a popular Value resort. However, this restaurant is not the only refurbishment that will affect your Disney World trip the week of August 3rd through August 10th.

As you probably know, Disney World food is very important to us.

PB & J Croissant at Everything Pop Food Court

We keep track of attraction closures happening all around Disney World, but when we hear about a restaurant getting a refurbishment, our ears quickly perk up. That’s why this food court news was important to us! Some of our favorite snacks can be found at two Disney World hotel food courts that are getting some work done.
