food IS a theme park
There are hundreds of places to grab a bite to eat in and around Disney World!
World Premiere Food Court
Each of Disney’s hotels offers at least one or more restaurants for you to stop by to enjoy during your stay. But every now and then, these restaurants will close for refurbishment. It’s important to stay up to date on which places will be available and which won’t be while you’re on vacation. Speaking of which, one Disney World food court has partially closed!
Rides close down for refurbishment all the time in Disney World.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has been closed for months!
It’s a common thing for Disney to close a ride so they can make sure everything is running correctly, give it the touchups it needs, and then, eventually, get it back running again for everyone to enjoy. Lengths of refurbishments vary based on many things, but they can be short for only a couple of weeks or much longer spanning over many months. Luckily, one ride that has been closed since January and we thought it was opening in late July, but it turns out it’s opening THIS WEEK! Let’s see what’s opening (and remaining closed) the week of June 29th through July 5th.
The EPCOT transformation took YEARS, which meant most of us have grown pretty tired of seeing construction walls in EPCOT.
EPCOT
We were all pretty happy, though, when the last of the construction walls came down to finally open CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, signaling the end of the multi-year transformation. No more construction walls! YAY! BUT…it seems like actual construction in EPCOT isn’t over because some NEW construction walls have appeared…y’all, it never ends.
A new quesadilla has just debuted at EPCOT and you know we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to try it out!

EPCOT is home to some incredible eats, treats, and drinks to keep you eating around the world on your next visit. While we’ve been preoccupied with the new entertainment, the recently opened CommuniCore Hall, and the recent closure of Test Track, it was a nice change of pace to have another reason to look forward to coming out to EPCOT.

If you’re going to Disney World soon, you’ll want to make note of these nine CLOSURES that might affect your upcoming trip.
Cinderella Castle
Disney needs to shut down rides and attractions occasionally in order to update and refurbish them to keep everything working well and looking nice. There are a couple of rides getting a major makeover right now, and a few other attractions and shows that are being revamped. Let’s take a look at all the closures that will impact Disney World from June 23rd through the 29th!
EPCOT has been quite the ordeal, recently. The transformation is officially over now that CommuniCore Hall and Plaza are open, but the changes aren’t stopping there.
EPCOT
If you wander around EPCOT, you’ll likely still see ongoing construction. Near the Imagination pavilion, work is being done on an unknown attraction, the DVC lounge in the Imagination pavilion is getting updates, and Mission: Space is still getting a facade facelift. However, an all-new project is about to begin on Test Track while other refurbishments across Disney World continue.
If you’re a Disney foodie, EPCOT is where you want to be right now! Although we’re spending the summer in a bit of a hiatus in festivals until it’s time for EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival to begin, EPCOT’s still pumping out some great summertime treats to cool off and eats that you’ve really got to hunt down!
Churro Sundae
But the new menu items didn’t just stop there! If you’re a dole whip fan there’s another cool treat to stop by and try out and we’ve got all the details! [Read more…]
The new menu items in Disney World just keep coming but this one, you’ll have to time just right to snag!
New menu item alert!
New breakfast items and limited-time treats have been popping up all over Disney World lately and have been filling our bellies with so many good eats but now, EPCOT’s hitting hard with a new addition of its own. But, as we came to find out, getting your hands on their savory new dish might be harder than you think! [Read more…]
You know that we are BIG fans of food in Disney World.

There are tons of restaurants all over Disney World. Whether you’re in the parks or at the hotels, you will find any kind of food your heart desires. We frequently visit the restaurants, trying all the new foods, but we also have many classics locations that never let us down. However, there are two restaurants in Disney World that have been closed for a VERY long time, and we keep wondering if Disney will ever reopen them again to their full capacity. Honestly, we miss them.
While we know it can be disappointing that EPCOT currently has no festival, something new just opened up!
EPCOT
We have been so excited to see EPCOT change and transform over the last few years. Soon, when CommuniCore Hall and Plaza open on June 10th, EPCOT’s transformation will be complete. Annual Passholders have gotten to enjoy a new and exclusive lounge in Morocco for about the past month, and don’t worry if you have not had a chance to visit, you still have until June 18th! And now there is a new addition to the American Adventure Pavilion!
