food IS a theme park
EPCOT has been through quite a few changes recently!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
The park is almost done with a massive transformation that included new rides, restaurants, gift shops, and common spaces. Just back in December, we saw World Celebration (the area in the middle of the park) reopen to visitors, but construction in the front areas of the park isn’t quite done yet. And recently, there was another major change!
Is Disney’s Boardwalk Inn at the top of your list for a 2024 Disney World stay?
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn
We can certainly see why. Not only can you literally WALK to EPCOT from the hotel, but it’s also near the EPCOT Skyliner. Plus you have great dining options all around because you’re also within walking distance of several other hotels. But before you book that stay at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, we’ve got to warn you about a few things.
We’re no stranger to construction in Disney World, and neither is anyone who has visited the parks in the past few years.

EPCOT’s massive Transformation is coming to a close soon and we’re watching as Disney World hotels begin to finish up their projects (but some still have a little bit to go). If you’re staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn soon we have some great news!
We’re SO excited about what 2024 is going to bring to Disney World. New year, new STUFF!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
We’re getting new food at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs over at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. We’re even getting a brand new attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which we’re getting even MORE excited about. Why? Well, we check out construction on the new ride every day, and most recently, it’s looking A LOT different.
It doesn’t seem that long ago that Disney World permanently closed the Spirit of Aloha show and tore the building down to make way for new Disney Vacation Club villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

However, we’ve been following the construction of those villas, and have watched the construction site go from nothing but flat land to actual buildings. Well, we recently visited the construction site again — and we have a MASSIVE update to share with you.
We have never wanted to take a cruise SO BAD in our lives after Disney Cruise Line revealed its newest ship, the Disney Treasure.
Disney Treasure
The Disney Treasure has a very cool adventure theme, but even more importantly, it will have a Haunted Mansion lounge, a Coco-themed dining experience, a Moana show, and more! It sounds AH-mazing! So we’ve been keeping an eye on ALL things Disney Treasure, including the latest construction updates, and we’ve got a new update to share with you.
We have A LOT to look forward to in 2024 at Disney World!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Specifically, over at Magic Kingdom, we are excited about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening. This new attraction is based on Disney’s The Princess and the Frog (2009) and will take you on a musical adventure with Princess Tiana and Louis as they prepare for a Mardis Gras performance. We’ve been monitoring the construction progress that is being made, and on our recent day at Magic Kingdom, we found quite a few improvements that have been added.
A lot is happening in Disney World.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of not one, but TWO, new restaurants at Disney Springs. The EPCOT transformation is scheduled to be over soon. A NEW ride is being constructed in Magic Kingdom. PLUS Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a brand new structure for new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas. So let’s take a look at what those villas look like now.
After several long years of construction, the EPCOT transformation is nearly complete!
EPCOT
We’ve seen several new additions over the past few years, from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Space 220 to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Creations Shop. But soon, the World Celebration section of the park will be fully open again. And along with that reopening comes a brand-new feature!
Disney World has so many hotels to choose from.
Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa
Some hotels offer fun theming and are great for the kids. Other hotels are more upscale, offering larger rooms.
