By 14 Comments

While there are lots of changes happening inside Disney World’s theme parks with Test Track’s retheming, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening, and so much more, there’s even MORE happening outside the park gates.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Fort Wilderness has been getting new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins, and in December 2024, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will open their new DVC tower, built on the ground that housed Spirit of Aloha dinner show at the resort for decades. We asked our readers on Facebook if they’re planning on staying in the new tower, Island Tower, and we got a pretty strong response!

If you wander around EPCOT, you’ll likely still see ongoing construction. Near the Imagination pavilion, work is being done on an unknown attraction, the DVC lounge in the Imagination pavilion is getting updates, and Mission: Space is still getting a facade facelift.

By 42 Comments

We’ve already seen a ton of BIG changes in Disney World in 2024, but more change is on the way. And this one will be CONTROVERSIAL!

Main Street, U.S.A.

Although the multi-year massive EPCOT transformation is complete (and the construction walls are FINALLY down), there’s still a lot in store for Disney World. Magic Kingdom is going through a LOT of change: not only is there a big Magic Kingdom expansion in the works, but Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens on June 28th and Country Bear Jamboree reopens with a brand new show on July 17th. But that’s not all — another big change is coming to Magic Kingdom soon.

The Polynesian Village Hotel PROBLEM that Everyone’s Talking About in Disney World

By 23 Comments

This probably isn’t how Disney imagined it was going to go…

The Polynesian

This past May, Disney released concept art and details of the latest hotel addition and expansion to one of Walt Disney World’s original hotels, and the reaction was…not good. As Disney has released more and more concept art, fans seem to be getting more and more upset.

We’re Starting to Wonder if These Abandoned Disney World Restaurants Will Ever Reopen

By 3 Comments

You know that we are BIG fans of food in Disney World.

Beautiful view from Tomorrowland Terrace

There are tons of restaurants all over Disney World. Whether you’re in the parks or at the hotels, you will find any kind of food your heart desires. We frequently visit the restaurants, trying all the new foods, but we also have many classics locations that never let us down. However, there are two restaurants in Disney World that have been closed for a VERY long time, and we keep wondering if Disney will ever reopen them again to their full capacity. Honestly, we miss them.

The Odyssey Pavilion in EPCOT Is Getting a NEW Purpose on June 2nd

By 1 Comment

A building in EPCOT is being repurposed for several weeks, and only certain people will be allowed inside!

EPCOT

It’s possible that not every Disney fan would be able to point out the Odyssey pavilion on a map, but if you’ve been to any of the EPCOT festivals, there’s a good chance that you’ve been inside it! This pavilion is frequently used to house EPCOT festival booths — it has hosted booths like Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Festival of the Arts and Brew-Wing at the Food & Wine Festival. Most recently, it’s been the home of Citrus Blossom at the Flower & Garden Festival (and if you haven’t gotten the tasty Orange Sesame Tempura Shrimp there yet, HURRY! They’ll only be around for about another week!).

Soon, the Odyssey will be repurposed, and this time it’s NOT going to be an EPCOT festival booth.
