food IS a theme park
The NBA will be starting its season on July 30th at Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Players and officials will be staying on property at different Disney Resorts in areas that are isolated from regular guests (but with swoon-worthy amenities). Training courts have already started to be set up inside the hotels, along with fencing down the middle of places like Disney’s Floridian Resort to separate the NBA from resort guests!
It’s been a cupcake crawl ALL over the Disney Resorts today for the Fourth of July!
Contempo Cafe
We’ve already seen a cupcake trio at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and an AMAZING treat with a raspberry cream center (!!!) at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. And, our next snack on the list is perfect for all those frosting fans out there!
While limited Disney Transportation has already started to run at the Disney Resorts and Disney Springs, Disney World will be re-opening its parks next week with more transportation options.
The Grand Floridian is One Quick Stop From Magic Kingdom!
Although we’ve had a few hints of which transportation options would be opening and when, Disney has officially confirmed the dates of when most of the methods of Disney World transportation will be welcoming us back again!
It’s the Fourth of July, and we’ve been celebrating by having re-runs of Hamilton back to back (which is pretty patriotic, in our humble opinions!).
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Although you might not be able to go the parks to ring in the holiday with the Muppets and all our other friends in Disney World, you can still party Disney style with treats all over the Disney Resorts!
From the halted Boarding Passes to the canceled Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney World won’t be the same place we’ve grown up with when the parks reopen.
Magic Kingdom
However, Disney still has many of the same experiences, attractions, and food that our hearts are oh so fond of (and that we’ll be able to experience again soon).
It might be summertime, but we’re already looking forward to Halloween in Disney World (it’s one of our favorite times of the year)!
Halloween at Magic Kingdom
But in the weeks surrounding the parks reopening, Disney has shared that parades, fireworks, and character meet and greets are halted for the time being and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled for 2020.
As Walt Disney World continues to move ahead with its phased reopening, we’ve been keeping our eyes on how construction is progressing around the resort.Â
Construction on potential walkway between Grand Floridian and Magic Kingdom
Although some construction projects have recently been paused, we’re excited to see that there are quite a few that are forging ahead, like the expansion of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin with the construction of a brand new tower called The Cove. Let’s take a look.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking about the biggest Disney World changes you need to know!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We’re just over a week away from Disney World’s grand re-opening on July 11th! While Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will be opening first, you’ll also be able to head to Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15th. Guests will only be able to visit the parks if they have a Disney Park Pass reservation at this time (which have now opened to resort guests, Annual Passholders, and regular ticket holders). However, we’re here to share some of the other HUGE ways Disney World will be switching things up soon!
Disney World will start reopening its theme parks in a little over a week.
Magic Kingdom Entrance
Although vacation planning may look a little bit different right now, guests have been able to make reservations through the Disney Park Pass system to visit the parks. Reservations are now open to resort guests, Annual Passholders, and regular ticket holders so everyone can schedule a time to go back to their favorite park.
Is it just us, or has Disney news been absolutely MIND-BOGGLING lately? It seems as though every day, there are tons of new headlines and stories to catch up on!
