food IS a theme park
There are lots of construction projects going on in Disney World right now.

There’s construction at “it’s a small world,” TRON, the Star Wars Hotel, and more! Recently, we stopped by another project that’s really starting to come together nicely, the NEW Walt Disney World Swan Reserve hotel.
It seems like we’re not getting a lot of updates on Disney World’s upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Hotel, although construction is still moving along.

Disney recently revealed that the hotel’s completion is still a priority for the company. And new aerial photos have just been posted that show work continues on the ambitious project.
Hey, DFB friends! What a beautiful day we had walking around Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We found a LOT of new stuff to report on, so hang on tight, and let’s get started!
We’ve been making our way around the Disney World theme parks and resorts to see what’s new. From Halloween snacks to new merchandise, there’s so much to see!
Candy Corn Cupcake
Recently, we visited Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what fun things we could find there. Join us on a trip to the most magical place on earth and into the wilderness to see what’s new at these spots!
Hello world travelers! We took a trip to EPCOT to see what’s been going on around the park!

Last time, we saw more construction walls and a few new food items! Let’s take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise!
In case you missed it, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is set to going under a MAJOR refurbishment this year and next year!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The Monorail loop resort near the Magic Kingdom had its reopening for non-DVC guests delayed until mid-2021 so that guest rooms could get a Moana-themed makeover!
Just a few weeks ago, we shared with you that Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will not be reopening until the summer of 2021 to finish some refurbishment work, including a Moana-inspired look for the Resort’s guest rooms.

The refurbishment work is set to begin in October, and now we’ve got a few updates on how that construction could impact your stay at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows or simply a trip to dine at the resort.
We were strolling through World Showcase today when we spotted a bit of a surprise.
Italy Construction
EPCOT is certainly Disney World’s biggest work in progress. Between the Future World construction and upcoming attractions, the EPCOT Transformation is in full swing. That means we tend to see a LOT of construction. Today though, we spotted some construction we WEREN’T expecting.
We’ve been carefully watching the construction progress over at Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, eagerly awaiting the day when they’ll finally be open!
Triple Chocolate Cookie
Although Gideon’s is already selling its incredibly large cookies to its adoring fans in Orlando, the Disney Springs spot will be their first flagship location. We don’t know exactly when they’ll be opening, but we spotted something new today that shows we’re one step closer to enjoying their delicious treats in Disney!
Last week, Disney participated in a virtual conference and gave some insight about the future of the Disney resorts, cruise line, Disney+, and more.
