food IS a theme park
We are getting SO close to the first day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, so you can imagine how busy things are at the parks right now!
We’ve been to Space 220!
Most recently, we’ve attended the opening of the highly-anticipated Space 220 Restaurant, tried an ice cream margarita, and had a spicy hot dog. And although we’ve seen a LOT of menu changes and updates over the past month, we’ve still got more to share with you this week.
There is a LOT going on at Disney’s Contemporary Resort… .
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
There’s been a lot of construction there recently as The Wave…of American Flavors becomes a new restaurant, Steakhouse 71. And the rooms are in the process of getting an Incredibles theme! As a result of all the construction, we’ve seen a lot of scrims and construction walls throughout the hotel!
Disney has had a LOT of construction lately! From TRON: Lightcycle Run to the Monorail Station at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the last year has seen a bunch of new construction and renovations.
Construction of TRON: Lightcycle Run
Today, we noticed some big progress on renovations at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
We see construction around the parks and hotels pretty often in Disney World.
LOTS of scaffolding at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Since Disney is constantly updating and refurbishing the hotels, attractions, and rides, sometimes they can be shut down or at least partially closed for a bit. We’re looking at what’s going to be CLOSED for refurbishments this week in Disney World so that you can be prepared before your upcoming vacation.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is almost here, and California Grill in Disney’s Contemporary Resort is getting a special update for the celebration.

Beginning on October 3rd, California Grill will be hosting a special 50th anniversary dining experience, with a new, limited time three-course 50th anniversary experience. Reservations just opened today, and it was an ORDEAL, full of glitches, so here’s what you may have to deal with.

She’s so pretty!
SO much special stuff is happening for the celebrations, like dessert parties, new fireworks, a new cavalcade, and more! And Disney just keeps announcing new stuff, like a special celebration that will take place at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Disney World restaurants have been going through a lot of changes lately!

Not only have restaurants continued to reopen, but we’ve seen a Mary Poppins-themed makeover at Citricos, some new menu items at the fan-favorite ‘Ohana and the return of some classics, and the reopening of different character dining experiences. Now, a very popular Disney World restaurant is getting a MAJOR menu change!
Hello, DFB friends! We visited some Disney World Resort Hotels this week and we have a lot of updates!

It’s been a busy week trying out new snacks, diving into some old favorites, and spending some time checking out everything going on with Disney World restaurants. And with the 50th anniversary celebration quickly approaching, there is A LOT going on!
Although Disney World reopened over a year ago, there have been some activities that still haven’t returned to the resort.
Boat rentals are back!
We still haven’t seen the return of services like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, some resorts remain closed (but are scheduled to reopen by the end of the year), and some resort activities haven’t come back.
