food IS a theme park
We’re super excited for the day we finally get to take our first ride on TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom!
TRON Lightcycle Run Construction
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the progress we can see from the ground while we’re visiting the park. And now, we’re checking in with another update on how the TRON construction is moving along!
We’ve been dusting off our identity disks lately and eagerly watching the construction progress on the TRON Lightcycle Run attraction coming to Walt Disney World!

Well, you’ll want to make sure you know what new stuff to look for! We were spending some time in the park mulling over our best ride picks yesterday and we spotted a TON of new updates. Here’s everything new in Magic Kingdom in food, construction, and merchandise!
Greeting, friends! We’re on our way to Magic Kingdom for the day!
Monorail
We hopped on the monorail at the Ticket and Transportation Center this morning and had a chance to see how TRON Lightcycle Run construction was progressing as we zoomed by it in the sky!
Even WITHOUT the historic four month-long closures, Disney World has had their hands full with upcoming construction projects. With Disney World’s 50th Anniversary coming up in 2021 and EPCOT going through a massive transformation ahead of its 40th Anniversary in in 2022, several ambitious new attractions are in the works!

Let’s take a few moments to catch up on everything we know so far about these projects, including when we think each one should be completed!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the reopening of all the Disney World theme parks and MORE!

See all of our coverage on Disney park closures and reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Shortly before Magic Kingdom began welcoming back guests last week after its longest closure in history, Disney released some information about construction schedules for attractions that were in-progress.

And while we suspected the temporary closure might delay some of the delivery dates of the projects Disney had planned, we’ve since learned construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run will be picked back up in stages.
We’ve been wondering a lot about how the historic closures of the Disney parks might affect the progress of Disney’s upcoming attractions.

Well, Disney just gave us a little bit of an update. With the recent announcement of a full re-theme of Splash Mountain in Disney World and Disneyland, Disney provided a little insight into how this project and the closures have affected projects such as Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure and TRON: Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom.
All Disney World construction projects stopped shorty after the parks closed on March 16th — which seems like such a long time ago!

But now that many of Disney’s resort hotels reopened on June 22nd, and the Disney World parks have opening dates — Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th followed by Epcot and Hollywood Studios on July 15th — we’ve seen work on several job sites resume!
A lot is changing in and around Disney World right now as some stores and restaurants have recently reopened in Disney Springs and Disney World’s official reopening date has been announced.

But that’s not all that’s been happening lately. As many of you know, last week Disney World said they would be reopening with a brand new reservation system which meant they needed pause ticket sales and hotel reservations temporarily.
