Before heading to the theme parks, it’s helpful to know what attractions are closed. This will help you plan around the closures and ensure you’re not too disappointed when you arrive. We’re back with a refurbishment update to inform you of all the attractions that will be closed for refurb this week. Let’s take a look at the refurb schedule from January 11th through January 17th, 2021.
Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2021 in Disney World!

It’s still one of the busiest times of the year, with folks celebrating New Year’s and many on holiday breaks from work or school. So we’re taking a look at the average wait times in ALL FOUR PARKS! Let’s see how this week compared to last week, and which wait times were surprisingly low or high.

Happy New Year, from the DFB team!
Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
This month is bringing all sorts of updates to the theme parks. Park Hopping is making a comeback (in a totally new way) and the policies for free MagicBands and luggage tags are changing. As always, we want to keep you informed on all the major updates and how they might affect your trip. Those of you visiting Disney World next week will want to prepare by knowing what attractions are closed for refurbishment ahead of time. Let’s recap what rides will be closed between January 4th through January 10th, 2021! [Read more…]
We’ve seen the crowds at Disney World get a little bigger over the past few months, and we now know that capacity at the parks increased to 35 percent just before the holidays.
Magic Kingdom
But how does that compare to New Year’s Eve’s past? Say 2019? Well, we dug into our photo archives to compare, and BOY, things are CRAZY different (we already knew that but seeing pics really puts it into perspective).
Are you counting down the minutes until 2020 ends?
New Years Ears
We’ve been celebrating today at Disney World by eating all the delicious New Year’s treats and checking out the 2021 merchandise. There are special offerings at the resorts, but one thing is missing — the fireworks! Disney announced a few weeks ago that they wouldn’t be shooting off fireworks in their parks for the holiday, but that doesn’t mean we have to go without Disney World fireworks completely.
Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s the end of 2020!
New Year’s Eve in Magic Kingdom
We’re celebrating by trying ALL the New Year’s treats in Disney World. Cupcakes, Dole Whip floats, chocolate mousse, we’re reviewing it all, and man has today been delicious! However, during our expedition to find all the special snacks, we found one that we can’t eat, even though we really want to!
We’ve been showing off our excitement for the new year by eating our way through all the specialty snacks in Disney World.
Walt Disney World Gateway
We’ve been happy to try some 2021 cupcakes along with a special margarita, and we’re still keeping an eye out for as many special treats as possible! Today, we scored with a specialty New Year’s Eve dessert from Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT!
We’re counting down to a new year with oodles of limited-time treats!
Raspberry Dole Whip
New Year’s Eve in Disney World is a little different this year. The theme parks are closing before midnight and guests are encouraged to celebrate from their resort. Plus, Disney has been releasing a few special treats! So far, we tried the surprisingly tasty Animal Kingdom 2021 cupcake and a surprisingly underwhelming Strawberry Champagne cupcake. (Two of them actually!) We found ANOTHER surprise New Year’s Eve treat today at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
It’s the LAST day of 2020, and what a wild year this one had been, huh?
New Year’s Eve Celebration Wine Package
We’re in Disney World today checking out the limited New Year’s Eve happenings (and reporting in on the crowds!). But you KNOW we’re also checking out any New Year’s-exclusive eats, treats, and sips! And may we just say, Disney has you COVERED on supplies to ring in the New Year.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
