food IS a theme park
Summer is going to be here before we know it!
EPCOT
If you’re heading to Disney World this summer, you might be wondering about all the changes that are taking place throughout the parks. Which attractions are open? Are there any hotels that are closed? Wonder no more, because we’re bringing you the biggest construction updates from the week!
Disney World is going through a massive transformation.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
There’s always something being constructed or refurbished — no matter how big or small the project might be. Things are always changing, and it can be hard to keep up. Luckily, we like to stay up to date on all that goes on at Disney World, so here are the biggest construction updates from this week!
Hello from Walt Disney World!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’re still reeling from our preview of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and it seems like everywhere you look something new is popping up in the parks! Not only that, but Disney has been keeping us on our toes with a whole slew of exciting announcements. With so much going on in Disney World, it’s important to keep up on all the major projects — so let’s take a look at the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week!
We’re in Disney World almost every day so we like to think we’ve seen it all — but that’s just not true.
Cinderella Castle
Every week holds a few more unexpected surprises and to be honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s part of the Disney magic! As the week comes to an end, we’re here to go over all the unexpected news from Disney World, so buckle in and come along for the ride!
Exciting things are happening in Disney World! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening in just a few weeks (!!) and we’ve already gotten a sneak peek at the ride! Also over in EPCOT, we recently got some updates on ongoing construction projects like Journey of Water — inspired by Moana and a new character meet and greet location called Mickey and Friends!
Guardians of the Galaxy Ship
One construction project that we haven’t heard as many updates on is the new rollercoaster coming to Magic Kingdom: TRON Lightcycle Run. Yesterday, we saw that a ride vehicle was undergoing testing, and today Disney shared a behind-the-scenes look at the testing for the ride!
Magic Kingdom is getting a new coaster!
TRON construction
TRON Lightcycle Run is in the works at Magic Kingdom. Based on the Shanghai Disneyland attraction, TRON will take guests an a high-speed race on an incredible new ride in Tomorrowland! The ride is currently in the testing process, and we saw it hit another huge milestone today!
It’s no secret that wherever you look in Disney World, things are constantly changing.
Spaceship Earth
We recently got to experience Connections Cafe and Eatery for the very first time, and we even got the chance to go on EPCOT’s newest thrill ride ahead of its official opening (SPOILER: it’s awesome!). But, that’s not all the change we’re currently seeing around the parks, so let’s take a look at the Disney World construction updates from this week!
It’s a big week for Disney news!
Cinderella Castle
There’s a massive overhaul coming to the Paradise Pier Hotel over in Disneyland Resort, and we just learned that two exclusive after-hours events are returning to the parks, too! With so much change, it’s important to stay up-to-date ahead of your upcoming trip — so let’s take a look at all of the construction updates from Disney World this week.
Heads up, Disney World fans!
Magic Kingdom
We are experiencing some major changes all throughout the property — from the EPCOT Transformation and the TRON coaster in Magic Kingdom to new DVC Villas at multiple hotels. If you’re planning an upcoming trip, you might want to stick around and check out all of the construction updates from around Disney World this week!
Have you ever seen a picture of Disney’s Hollywood Studios from the ’90s? It looked like a COMPLETELY different park (R.I.P. to the Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show, Studio Backlot Tour, and The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights). The truth is, all it takes is a few short years for Disney World to transform itself, reinvent the parks, and increase the price of a park ticket. It’s pretty wild to think about! So, that got us thinking, “What will Disney World look like in a few years?”
There’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow just a construction project away!
While many Disney World projects remain a mystery (looking at you, U.K. Mary Poppins attraction!), there are several major attractions, resorts, and experiences coming soon to Florida. When they arrive, Disney World will NEVER be the same, so let’s talk about 10 places in Disney World that will look totally different in a few years.
