food IS a theme park
Another day, another Disney World change.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
No matter when you visit the parks, there’s a pretty good chance that they’ll be at least a little bit different than the last time you were there. But, that usually means Disney is working on the latest and greatest new attraction or experience to bring to folks. Whether it’s a big change or small, we’re on the lookout for it — and we may have just found one in Animal Kingdom!
Disney World is going through a serious transformation that will bring new rides, restaurants, hotel rooms, and experiences to the park and beyond.
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!
Between the construction in EPCOT, the work on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, and even the new Polynesian Resort building, it’s a lot to keep up with. And, we just spotted a new permit that’s a pretty major indicator that some HUGE construction changes are coming soon to Disney Springs!
Disney World rides can be things of wonder — but they can also be fickle beasts.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
It makes sense, after all, considering these attractions see quite a bit of constant, daily use for months and even years on end. So, every once in a while, Disney has to close a ride for refurbishment to give it a little TLC. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith in Hollywood Studios has been closed with no end in sight — but now we’ve got an update about this project!
Disney World is changing all the time and that likely isn’t stopping anytime soon.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
They’ve teased potential expansion plans for NEW themed areas “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain” in Magic Kingdom and discussed a DinoLand U.S.A. re-theme in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And, while these may just be ideas for now, we’ve got a few signs that other changes could be happening a bit sooner.
Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel may be closed for good, but that might not be the end of the story.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The immersive, cruise-like experience was shuttered after it turned out that the cost to run the hotel was too much compared to the amount of money it was bringing in. Disney hasn’t made any sort of announcements about what could be next for the space or if we’d ever see anything like the Star Wars Hotel again, but we think we may have found our first hint.
Planning a visit to Disney World soon? There are LOTS of changes happening that might surprise you.
Magic Kingdom
Disney just rolled out a ton of park updates, there’s lots of construction happening at the hotels including Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Splash Mountain is being transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! It’s a lot to keep up with and Disney isn’t stopping anytime soon!
Listen, we’re not going to sugarcoat it.
Walt the Dreamer
Disney World has changed a LOT over the past few years. Some changes were welcomed by fans and others proved to be a little bit controversial. No matter how you slice it, Walt Disney was a fan of progress, and it looks like that progress is going to continue based on the newest Disney World permits we found!
Being a Disney World fan is sometimes… difficult. Of course, in the grand scheme of things — we’re lucky to be able to visit the parks so often and notice each change that takes place.
Cinderella Castle
But sometimes, those changes make us downright mad — especially when it’s to something we’ve come to know like the backs of our hands. That’s why we’re always on the hunt for the latest clues as to what changes might be in store for Disney World — and we found quite a bit this time around!
Most Disney World fans know just how often we need to be prepared for change — especially these days!
Magic Kingdom
Nearly everywhere you look something new or refurbished is on the way — from hotels to restaurants, attractions, and more. It’s exciting but it’s also a lot to keep up with, which is why we take care of the hard work for you.
Big things are happening in Disney World, people!
Cinderella Castle
The EPCOT Transformation will be complete by the end of this year according to Disney, plus 2024 will also usher in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. But, those aren’t the only projects on the horizon as we just found a few new permits that hint to some pretty big changes in Disney World.
