food IS a theme park
We’re getting closer and closer to the opening of the TRON roller coaster in Magic Kingdom!
TRON Lightcycle Run sign
Back in 2017, Disney announced plans to open TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, and its opening was subsequently delayed from 2021 to Spring 2023. Our favorite way to keep an eye on construction progress is to take a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover and on a recent ride, we noticed a BIG development!
Now that we know when the TRON roller coaster is expected to open in Magic Kingdom, we’re even more excited about this future thrill ride!
TRON Lightcycle Run
TRON Lightcycle Run has been in progress since 2017 when it was announced at the D23 Expo, and it was originally supposed to open back in 2021 for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Instead, TRON’s opening was delayed after Disney World closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on construction progress by taking a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. Recently Disney announced that TRON would open April 4, 2023, and construction is moving along!
There is a lot going on with Disney World resorts right now.
Polynesian Village Resort
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is getting some major changes (and a new restaurant JUST opened there), Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa just got a brand new DVC building, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has demolished the old Spirit of Aloha building and is working on some new DVC villas in that space. So let’s take a look at the DVC villas progress at the Polynesian!
We’ve been following along carefully as EPCOT’s many construction projects continue. The expanded area in the France pavilion of World Showcase opened last year with the new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride and a new restaurant! And we recently welcomed Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to World Discovery. Now, let’s take a look at an ongoing project in World Nature.
EPCOT
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is a walk-through attraction coming to EPCOT’s World Nature. Disney has shared some concept art of this attraction, but today we’re heading into the park to see how construction is coming along! Come with us to see the current status of this project.

There is a LOT of construction going on in Disney World right now.
Disney’s BoardWalk
The EPCOT transformation is still underway, even after the grand opening of the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction. The Spirit of Aloha building has been demolished and will be replaced with new Disney Vacation Villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. There’s also a lot going on over at Disney’s BoardWalk, which will be going through some HUGE changes soon — and it looks like some of those changes are already underway!
No matter where you go in Disney World these days, it seems like something exciting is happening!
Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom
From brand new 50th Anniversary treats and celebrations to EPCOT festivals and groundbreaking new attractions — there’s plenty to see and do! We’ve been keeping a close watch on the construction progress over at TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom, and we recently saw something that DEFINITELY caught our eye!
We’ve been watching the construction of the upcoming Magic Kingdom ride, TRON Lightcycle Run, for some time now!
TRON Lightcycle Run Sign
Located in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, this ride will be similar to the TRON ride in Shanghai Disneyland, and lighting will be a huge part of the ride experience. The canopy of the coaster will feature shifting light panels that change the ride experience from day to night, and today we have an update!
EPCOT has been on 🔥 lately with new merchandise!
EPCOT
Not only is the 2022 Flower and Garden Festival happening, but EPCOT also just released a huge new merchandise collection in one pavilion, along with a new drink, AND a fan-favorite cookie seems to be here to stay. Read all about it here!
We’re not-so-patiently awaiting the arrival of a bunch of new offerings in EPCOT!
Exciting things are coming to EPCOT!
The park is under a massive transformation, and we’ll soon have some exciting new attractions, dining options, and more. But what we’re probably most excited about arrives later this year…Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!
We’ve been keeping track of quite a few construction projects around Disney World and we’re starting to get more details about when they might open!
Mickey and Minnie 50th Anniversary Golden Statues
So far, we know that both Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the new Toy Story-themed restaurant (Roundup Rodeo BBQ) will open in 2022, but there might be even more to come! And, aside from all the NEW things coming this year, there are also some other rides, restaurants, and resorts getting some TLC. So, today we’re bringing you along with us to check out all of the latest progress — let’s take a look!
