food IS a theme park
We’ve got big news for Disney World water park fans!
Blizzard Beach
A huge hotel perk is in store for water parks in 2025, and we’ve even spotted some signs that Disney is hard at work getting things ready for the winter season. Yep, at least one Disney World water park stays open year-round, and in fact, Blizzard Beach is entirely winter-themed. This water park has been closed since March, but now we officially know when it will reopen!
We’re used to rides closing from time to time in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
The rides may close for extended re-theming and construction or for temporary refurbishments. Peter Pan’s Flight recently reopened EARLY in Magic Kingdom with an all-new scene, and now this week, another opening day ride in Magic Kingdom will be closing for its own refurbishment. Along with this ride, a shooting arcade, a water park, food courts, and more will continue to be closed this week!
Popular Disney World rides will close now and then for refurbishment, which means you may miss out on riding them during your vacation.
Magic Kingdom
It’s no fun to get to the parks to find a ride closed down, but Disney has to ensure that all of their rides are working properly and make adjustments to them when needed. But we get really excited when we get to report that a ride or attraction is re-opening which is the case this week! While there are still a few closures around Disney World, one very popular ride at Magic Kingdom will be opening once again.
Disney World will continue to see closures this coming week.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been keeping tabs on several closures around Disney World for a while now. While nothing new will close this week, several attractions, restaurants, and an entire water park will be closed the week of August 10th through August 17th. If you’re headed to the parks, be aware that a few rides, shows, and restaurants will not be open and operating.
It’s a busy week for Disney!
Magic Kingdom
Monday, August 7th, started with a hurricane, The Walt Disney Company had their Q3 earnings call on August 7th, and D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening on August 9th through August 11th. But even with all that going on throughout the week, the Disney World parks are as busy as ever. However, one park in Disney World had an interesting situation occur in the afternoon of August 7th.
Last week we shared that a Disney World hotel refurbishment would be ending.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Unfortunately, not all refurbishments go as planned. Occasionally, Disney has to make adjustments to their timelines and that’s what we’ve seen for one food court at a popular Value resort. However, this restaurant is not the only refurbishment that will affect your Disney World trip the week of August 3rd through August 10th.
As you probably know, Disney World food is very important to us.
PB & J Croissant at Everything Pop Food Court
We keep track of attraction closures happening all around Disney World, but when we hear about a restaurant getting a refurbishment, our ears quickly perk up. That’s why this food court news was important to us! Some of our favorite snacks can be found at two Disney World hotel food courts that are getting some work done. Luckily, one will be back to full capacity this week while another will begin some changes.
Disney World attractions temporarily close all the time.
Magic Kingdom
Disney closes rides and attractions for refurbishment all the time. There are periods when we’ll see several rides closed at a time and other times when only one or two rides are closed. We love to see when the number of rides closed in a week is low, which is what is great about this week! While a few restaurants and other attractions will be closed for refurbishment this week, only two rides are closed, for now!
An annual holiday that we are VERY passionate about is right around the corner.
Magic Kingdom
It can seem like everything gets a holiday, but we promise that this one is super important because it involves an iconic Disney snack. This year will be the fourth annual celebration of this fan-favorite frozen treat!
