CONFIRMED: Popular Kissimmee, Florida, Restaurant is Permanently Closed

By Leave a Comment

While restaurants, attractions, and lands are set to close all around Disney World soon, the closures are also hitting outside of the parks. 

Disney World

There are so many great offerings inside Disney World that you essentially never have to leave the property during your vacation. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, entertainment, free transportation, and even gas stations and a car care center! But sometimes, it is good to venture outside of Disney World to hit up the two outlet malls that are near Disney World and take a trip to the Character Warehouse or get a bite to eat outside of Disney property. If you were looking to dine outside of Disney World, we wanted to give you a heads-up that a popular restaurant in Kissimmee has just permanently closed.

Wait. Did We Find an Unfortunate Side Effect of the Jungle Cruise Closure in Magic Kingdom?

By Leave a Comment

The Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom has been undergoing refurbishment since August 26th.

Jungle Cruise

While specifics about the refurbishment are unknown, we do know that the ride will be closed until mid-October. It’s not uncommon for rides to close for refurbishment in Disney World. It’s how Disney is able to maintain its rides to ensure they work properly for many years to come. What is odd about this refurbishment, though, is the strange side effect it seemed to have caused in another area of Adventureland.

This new show will be replacing Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy in the Sunset Showcase building along Sunset Boulevard. While we’re excited for this new villains-themed show, it’s not the only new show coming to Hollywood Studios. A while back Disney announced a new The Little Mermaid show replacing the old Voyage of the Little Mermaid show in Animation Courtyard. It’s been years since this old show closed, and months since we’ve heard any news about the new one. So, we’re starting to wonder when will this new show finally open?

Can you believe it’s already September? The first week of September will continue bringing us closures around Disney World, but now we know when a popular spot will reopen!

Blizzard Beach Water Park

Disney recently announced that Blizzard Beach will once again be reopening this winter!

We’re used to rides closing from time to time in Disney World.

Along with this ride, a shooting arcade, a water park, food courts, and more will continue to be closed this week!

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.

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.

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.

Luckily, one will be back to full capacity this week while another will begin some changes.
