One merchandise stand that’s been closed for three years FINALLY reopened in EPCOT, but there’s another stand that’s still closed in this park!
EPCOT
Disney has to close restaurants, attractions, snack stands, and other locations occasionally in order to complete refurbishments and update the spaces.

Whatever the resason, this EPCOT snack stand is closed with no reopening date in sight!

If you want the inside scoop, we’re here to spill the beans on some of the best Disney World secrets that YOU can apply to your next Disney World vacation!
Let’s talk about what the REAL magic is.
Magic Kingdom
The REAL magic (other than the lovely Cast Members in the Disney Parks) comes from the Disney World App and website. (Well, when it’s WORKING but that’s a topic for another time.) Â Seriously, it really IS like your own personal Genie, and we feel that a lot of Disney fans don’t use their app or the website nearly enough. Everything you need to know is located online, from reservation information, to showtimes, to wait times. However, there’s also something EXTRA helpful located on the website and app that a lot of people look right past: WARNINGS.Â
Watch out! At least eight attractions and restaurants are going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week.
