food IS a theme park
While Disney World usually does a good job of letting guests know about potential closures ahead of time, sometimes closures may catch you by surprise.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you are headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the upcoming weeks, we have some news for you! There are two snack stands in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that are mysteriously not showing any hours.
A few years ago, Disney World added one BIG perk to select hotels.
Who’s up for a ride on the Skyliner?
That’s right, we’re talking about the Disney Skyliner! This new-ish form of transportation opened in 2019 and since then, those staying at Pop Century Resort, Art of Animation Resort, Caribbean Beach Resort, and Riviera Resort have been able to ride “The Most Magical Flight on Earth” to select locations. The Skyliner has been so popular, in fact, that sometimes people will park at Hollywood Studios just to hop on it and ride the loop! But if you’re hoping for a ride, you should know that there are certain times when you CAN’T ride the Skyliner in Disney World.
We had a VERY full month of news last month!
Magic Kingdom
From the release of MagicBand+ to fun at the 2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, there have been some BIG Disney new items this past month. Now, we’re taking a look at the three most UNEXPECTED things that happened in Disney World in October!
Disney World is undergoing some massive transformations, and some of them involve FOOD.
CLOSED
Victoria & Albert’s is set to reopen with a slightly revamped space, buffets are coming back to Hollywood & Vine Restaurant, and character dining is also returning to a few spots. Over at Disney’s BoardWalk, big changes are underway as BoardWalk Bakery is being transformed into BoardWalk Deli. And now we’ve got a HUGE update on the project.
UPDATE: The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade will not be closing for a month, the Disney World website has been updated with info showing that the attraction will be open for the foreseeable future.
The Disney World website can be a valuable tool for planning your vacation.
Make sure to use the website when planning your trip!
Here you’ll find park hours, showtimes, restaurant menus, and so much more. The site also keeps a running list of attractions that are under refurbishment, so that you know what will be closed during your trip. And today, we noticed a mysterious closure coming soon…but it’s not listed on the refurb calendar!
Things at Disney World’s parks all around the world are constantly changing, especially due to the ongoing situation with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tokyo Disneyland | 2017
Right now all of Disney’s theme parks around the world have reopened, except for Disneyland Paris, which remains closed at this time. While Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are open, things will soon be changing a little bit there in response to some COVID-19 measures.
Halloween may not be here yet, but we’re already stocking up on Christmas spirit jerseys and ornaments!
Mickey and Minnie Ornaments
Now, the only question we have is how late will the parks be open when we visit during Christmastime? Disney is starting to give us a better idea of that now.
Since Disney World reopened, we’ve seen park operating hours shortened on certain days and later extended on select days.
Magic Kingdom
If you’re planning to visit Walt Disney World for later in December, we’ve now got an update on what hours the parks will be open during your stay.
Over at The Landing in Disney Springs, Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC serves up tasty vegan and allergy-friendly baked goodies.
Cookie Monster Cupcake at Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC
We’ve been frequenting the bakery lately and trying everything from sweet cupcakes (we love the Cookie Monster Cupcake) to savory Veggie Bombs! So we thought we’d fill in our fellow fans on an update to the bakery’s hours. [Read more…]
Disney Springs started Disney World’s phased reopening on May 20th by opening select third-party shopping and dining experiences.
Disney Springs
Disney-owned locations like World of Disney and Marketplace Co-Op joined in on May 27th. Disney Springs has been open from 10AM to 10PM, but this schedule just got an update.
