food IS a theme park
Even if you plan out every detail of your Disney World trip, things can still be unpredictable.
Rain in Disney
Rides can shut down, the weather can be bad, or transportation can be late. Sometimes you can even have issues with where you’re staying on property, which is exactly what happened today at a popular Disney hotel.
If you’re heading to Disney World next week, you’ll want to be aware of some rides and attractions that are going to be closed!
Frontierland Construction
We’ve got a list for ya to see what’s scheduled to be closed for refurbishment in the Disney Parks this coming week!
Disney World is still phasing out a lot of their previous health and safety guidelines, and we’re seeing more and more attractions and pre-shows return.
Disney World
This week we saw Disney announce return dates for several attractions, closing dates for two shows, and a surprise reopening. Shall we review?
In case you didn’t hear, Disney’s Polynesian Resort is going through some HUGE changes this year! The entire front of the resort is being overhauled, rooms are being rethemed to Moana, it seems like everything is changing!
Inside Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
With so many big changes coming to the Polynesian and the reopening date just around the corner, it isn’t surprising that one of the bigger projects at the resort still needs a little bit more time before it’s ready!
Big changes are coming all over Disney World! With several resorts getting refurbishments or overhauls and a ton of new rides like the Tron coaster coming soon, there’s plenty of construction going on at the parks and resorts!
The Lobby of Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Today, we’re checking out the construction progress at the monorail resorts: Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
It’s a very special day because one of DFB’s favorite restaurants is back! That’s right, ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort has reopened!
‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort
This restaurant has a very special spot in our hearts and we often review it very favorably! From the great atmosphere to the delicious bread pudding, this spot has it all! As if stopping by ‘Ohana for breakfast wasn’t enough, we also decided to grab some dinner! Come explore the newly reopened fan-favorite with us!
‘Ohana is BACK, people!! We’ve been waiting for this day for so long, and now it’s finally here *wipes a single tear.*
So happy to be back!
Seriously, ‘Ohana is one of our favorite places to eat in Disney World! The family-style food is delicious, and the tasty meals and fun atmosphere have us coming back all the time! We stopped by the newly reopened ‘Ohana restaurant for breakfast this morning, and we’re excited to show you what we found! [Read more…]
While Walt Disney World has been reopened since July of 2020, some of our favorite restaurants sadly remain closed.
Ohana Appetizers featuring Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings
We still haven’t seen the return of our favorite hot dog spot, Casey’s Corner, and Columbia Harbour House continues to be used for the Peter Pan’s Flight queue (but you *can* get some menu items at Tomorrowland Terrace). ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is one of the places that hasn’t opened its doors again, even when the resort did. But now, we FINALLY have a reopening date for the iconic Polynesian staple and you can make your reservation TODAY!!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a little short on dining options right now. Sure, you can get your Pulled Pork Nachos at Capt. Cook’s, but some of our FAVORITE spots here like ‘Ohana, Trader Sam’s, and Spirit of Aloha are closed still.
Polynesian Resort
But there’s one reliable restaurant that is here to fill the void: Kona Cafe!
It’s no secret that we LOVE food at Disney World’s theme parks.
Spice Trade Candy Bar at Sanaa – YUM.
And we will never turn down a Dole Whip, Corn Dog Nuggets, or anything served with PLASTIC CHEESE (yes, it’s our weakness and we are not ashamed). But did you know some of the BEST meals and snacks are actually found OUTSIDE of the parks?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
