food IS a theme park
2024 is a year for big changes in the Disney Parks!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom are getting the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride, the EPCOT transformation is wrapping up, and Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion is under construction for some updates in the queue area. But before all those projects are completed, Disneyland Resort is testing one other change!
It’s practically spring in Florida, which means the weather will hopefully be warming up. Warmer temperatures mean water rides are a welcome sight!
Kali River Rapids
A popular water ride will be re-opening this week after a lengthy refurb! But while one ride opens, several other Disney World attractions remain closed. Let’s see what’s opening and what’s staying closed in Disney World this week!
The Haunted Mansion queue is getting a make-over and we are “dying” to see all the changes!
Haunted Mansion is closed and under construction.
We are STILL mourning the loss of Haunted Mansion at Disneyland as of January 2024. While the white walls bring sorrow to our hearts, we are also excited for what is to come! We are expecting BIG changes over at Haunted Mansion, and we are breaking them all down for you!
Disney World has a TON of restaurants to choose from, but when your favorite spot to grab a bite is closed, it can make for a sad trip.
1900 Park Fare
A few restaurant closures are going on right now in Disney World that might affect your trip. Each one gives you a unique experience when they’re available, but sadly, you won’t be getting into any of these places this coming week.
There’s one construction project at Disney World that we just can’t wait for!

As you know, the new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Cabins are coming to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and will officially open on July 1st! That’s not much time! In the meantime, we’ve been acquainted with all the fun details that Disney has been working on. There’s one particular detail that you have to know about!
Will you be visiting Disneyland in 2024?
Radiator Springs Racers
If so, in case you haven’t already heard, you’ll need to know that a fan-favorite Disney California Adventure attraction is temporarily CLOSED for refurbishment!
If you’re visiting Magic Kingdom soon, you need to be prepared for the HOT MESS that is Frontierland right now!

Almost HALF of the attractions in this land are currently closed, and they won’t reopen for several more weeks at least. Let’s check out those closures and all the temporary refurbishments happening in Disney World from February 25th through March 2nd.
Disney World has lots of different construction projects happening right now.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Country Bear Jamboree and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure are under construction in Magic Kingdom, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is under refurbishment (again) in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and multiple different Disney World hotels have projects underway. But there’s one hotel project that we’re starting to get REALLY worried about.
Let’s face it — Going to Disney World is NOT a relaxing vacation. You start your day with chaotic rope drop in the morning, then you race to as many rides as possible, wait in a bunch of lines, walk approximately one million steps, and pass out cold as soon as your head hits the pillow each night. If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, the theme parks are NOT where you’ll find it. That’s why we recommend checking out the pools at your Disney World hotel to grab some actual relaxation time!
Fuentes del Morro Pool
If you’re staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort or Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter, you’ll need to know about these pool CLOSURES that could affect your vacation. But don’t worry! At both hotels, you have a few backup options so you don’t have to completely give up your chill pool time. Let’s check out those closures and all the temporary refurbishments happening in Disney World from February 18th through the 24th.
It’s no secret that EPCOT has been changing a lot lately!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
World Celebration recently reopened after a multi-year closure and a major makeover, and we’re keeping a close eye on construction at CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza — new areas of the park that are set to open this year. But besides those major projects, we’ve been noticing quite a few small changes. Including one change that the foodies will be interested in!
