food IS a theme park

It’s a new week in Disney parks and that means a new round up of refurbishment closures!

But closures aren’t the only thing we’re covering this week. In fact, two attractions that have been closed are REOPENING in Disney World. So, here’s a round up of some things you won’t be able to do in Disney parks this week (February 24th through March 1st) — and some that you finally will be able to do again!
Whether you’ve been keeping up with “The Imagineering Story” on Disney+ or “it’s a small world” is one of your favorite attractions, we all can appreciate Mary Blair’s artistic creations!

And, you can take a bit of that Blair magic home with you ’cause the Disney World popcorn boxes have gotten a contemporary, whimsical makeover!
Earlier this week, Disney had us all hyperventilating a bit when they announced Cinderella Castle would be undergoing a “royal makeover!”

And at the time, we didn’t know many details about the transformation other than Magic Kingdom’s park icon would be getting a new paint job with a soft, rose gold pinkish hue and sparkly gold trim! But in light of park guests’ growing concerns, Disney’s made few comments to ease our worried minds!
We’re still feeling the excitement over the recent announcement that Cinderella Castle will begin a massive refurbishment in the coming weeks in preparation for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021.

This transformation, which will begin soon and continue through the summer, will result in a very noticeable difference to the castle’s appearance, and we have more details to share about its new look!
Hey, friends, we’re back at the Most Magical Place on Earth, the Magic Kingdom, to see what’s been going on since our last visit.
Early Morning at Cinderella Castle
We got a big announcement this week that Cinderella Castle is going to be getting a royal makeover soon. There is also a bunch of food, construction and merch updates to get through, so let’s get started!
We hope you like your Disney Villains After Hours parties to be really, REALLY EVIL!
Villains Unite the Night
That’s because while we’ve already enjoyed all the new enhancements Disney’s made to their 2020 Disney Villains After Hours parties, they’ve just added even more dark magic to these specially-ticketed events!
We really hope you were able to make it over to Storybook Treats to try the Arendelle Aqua Cone!

That’s because even though this highly photogenic (and SUPER tasty!) treat has been available at Magic Kingdom since before Frozen 2 was released in theaters, just like Elsa, it’s suddenly gone INTO THE UNKNOWN!
Okay, we’ve got to admit, while we were super-excited for our Disneyland peeps when we found out a Barley and Ian Lightfoot meet and greet was coming to Disney California Adventure, we felt a little bad for you folks in Disney World!

But even though the elf brothers haven’t filled us in on any plans to visit the Disney parks in Flordia yet, we DID just spot a ton of new Onward merch in Disney World!
Are you excited to see Onward now that you’ve watched the sneak peek at Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Walt Disney Presents Onward sneak peek
We are too, especially after seeing some of the new Onward merch that’s been arriving online as well as in the Disney parks!
While Walt Disney World is getting ready for its big 50th-anniversary celebration next year, there’s been a frenzy of construction and refurbishment happening throughout its theme parks and resorts!
Cinderella Castle
And while our attention has been focused a lot of Epcot right now as we get ready for Regal Eagle Smokehouse, Space 220 Restaraunt, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to debut, we just found out something MAJOR is about to happen at Magic Kingdom!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
