food IS a theme park
When it comes to buzzy hotel news in Disney World, the Star Wars hotel gets a LOT of the attention!Â

But there’s a ton happening in the other resorts too, including some pretty MAJOR refurbishments in a few of our favorite — and most iconic — hotels, which will ultimately lead to three Magic Kingdom-area resorts with COMPLETELY new rooms!Â
Sometimes, Disney World closes rides for a little spiffying up!
PeopleMover
We keep a close eye on all these refurbishments, so we can keep YOU in the know! After all, if you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’ll want to know what will be unavailable. And today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for April 12th through 18th!
Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
We’ve seen restaurants and resorts reopen as Disney World slowly increases its limited operations. Recently, Blizzard Beach even reopened! But if you’ve been following the hotel reopening dates closely, you may be a little confused. Why are reopening dates listed for hotels that are already open?! Well today, we’re breaking it ALL down for ya.
For many folks, Disney World is the perfect happy place.
Cinderella Castle
Sure, it’s a joy to walk down Main Street, U.S.A., but we can’t always jet off to the parks every time we need a pick-me-up. Well, good news! You don’t necessarily need to drop big bucks to get to your happy place. What if you could go to Disney World WHENEVER you want without leaving your house…or putting on pants. How you ask? Our kids showed us.
It’s kind of a weird time for Disney World right now.
EPCOT
As you can imagine there are LOTS of upcoming offerings that we’re excited about, from attractions to restaurants and everything in between. At the same time, we haven’t had any big NEW announcements in a while. So, there’s only so much we know about the next few years in Disney World. What can we expect for the years to come?
We’ve gotten some unique soft serve and DOLE whip creations at Pineapple Lanai in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
What Will Pineapple Lanai Bring Us Today?
We got a WHOLE pineapple filled with DOLE whip, we got a DOLE whip combo we never knew we needed, and one with POPPING CANDY! And now we’ve found another limited time beauty and SPOILER ALERT: it. is. fantastic.
At any given time, a few Disney World rides are bound to be closed for maintenance or refurbishment.
