food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney World!
Stormalong Bay
We’ve been hanging around the Disney World hotels. But we’ve also been checking out what’s been going on lately. It’s not a lot, but we’ve got all the latest updates for you!
It may still be May, but we’ve already got summer fun on the mind!
Polynesian Lobby
And we’re not the only ones! Disney World has already had some signs of summer popping up! We’ve already spotted a Memorial Day Cupcake today and now there’s ANOTHER Memorial Day treat!
Sometimes, construction will take place in Disney World for some reason or another.
Main Street Confectionery is officially closed!
This can be caused by maintenance or refurbishment — and you’ll want to keep an eye out for any closures during your trip! So today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for May 31st-June 6th, 2021.
Disney World is welcoming a lot of guests right now for the long holiday weekend. In fact, we’re hearing reports that travel to Orlando this Memorial Day Weekend is close to 2019 tourism levels!
Capt. Cook’s!
If you happen to be one of those many travelers in Disney World over the next few days, we found a specialty cupcake at Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to commemorate the upcoming holiday.
When it comes to ALL of the hotels at the Walt Disney World resort, the ones in the Magic Kingdom area (especially those on the monorail loop) are among the most famous and most beloved!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Families have been staying at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge for decades, and they’ve come to know and love them as-is.
It’s no secret that we LOVE food at Disney World’s theme parks.
Spice Trade Candy Bar at Sanaa – YUM.
And we will never turn down a Dole Whip, Corn Dog Nuggets, or anything served with PLASTIC CHEESE (yes, it’s our weakness and we are not ashamed). But did you know some of the BEST meals and snacks are actually found OUTSIDE of the parks?
Nowadays in Disney World, construction crews are as commonplace as Character Cavalcades!
A Look at the Tron Construction
With refurbishments and new developments taking place ALL over the parks and resorts, construction walls have become a frequent site. One prime example is Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where not only are the rooms getting a major Moana makeover, but the Monorail station is getting a serious overhaul of its own!
There is no shortage of construction projects going on around Walt Disney World as they prepare for the 50th-anniversary celebrations this year!
Magic Kingdom
This week was filled with more progress on some long-term projects that we’ve been keeping track of and we even got a surprise at the end of the week that answered our questions about some mystery construction we spotted back in March. So, let’s get to all the updates from this week!
One of the big perks of Disney World’s Resorts is their impressively themed pools.
Luna Park Pool
From whimsical pools featuring beloved Disney characters to serene and relaxing pools, there are a lot of different options in the mix! But, not all Disney World pools are created equally, so we asked YOU, our readers, which resorts have the very best pools. These were the winners.
Hello from Disney World!

We’ve been spending some time wandering around the resorts. And we’ve got some updates for you! Are you ready?
