food IS a theme park
An iconic Disney World attraction is closing soon in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
Don’t worry though, it will only be for a few months. And, now we officially have the reopening date.
In case you missed it, we are LIVE at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
Free tote
This event, which runs through the weekend, brings a ton of fun Disney experiences to fans, as well as panels, where we expect Disney to make some big announcements about upcoming movies, parks experiences, rides, and more. The doors have just officially opened for the event, but as soon as we were inside, we were already turned away from one line at one particular booth.
Are you at that point where basically nothing shocks you anymore? (I know we are!)

So, about that, here we were minding our business and having a great time at Magic Kingdom when we had the unexpected happen. We’re talking about a specific ride revelation that had us shook. Let’s talk about it!
Are you planning a trip to Disney World? Do you have Magic Kingdom on the brain? Have you been looking at Disney World restaurants and making those advance dining reservations? Good! That means you’re a SMART Disney planner. And you’ve come to the right place.
Magic Kingdom
We’re here to help you plan ahead so that you won’t be caught off guard by unexpected closures or disappointing updates. There’s nothing worse than visiting your favorite ride only to see it boarded up and under construction. We don’t want that! Now, come along with us as we take a look at all the upcoming ride closures in Disney World this August.
Things change so much at Disney World that it’s hard to keep up with everything.
Cinderella Castle
In Magic Kingdom, we just recently saw the opening of a brand new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. We’re also gearing up to see what Disney has planned for the big Magic Kingdom expansion. Sometimes, though, things close in Disney World, and we’ve got a big update about some entertainment at Magic Kingdom that will be temporarily suspended.
Disney World is always busy building new things and updating even more.
Shades of Green
For example, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently reopened after a lengthy refurbishment with a few changes. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a brand NEW ride, just opened in Magic Kingdom. It seems like there’s almost ALWAYS some kind of construction going on in EPCOT. This is why we wanted to remind you about a Disney World restaurant closure that will happen soon.
It has been quite an exciting day so far!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure sign
Disney shared the first full ride through video of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, and we can’t wait to go down into the bayou and help Tiana find a band for her big celebration. However, Tiana is in a bit of a pickle already because those who were supposed to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure as part of early previews haven’t been able to.
A LOT of changes are happening in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort.
Downtown Disney
Recently, three new restaurants opened in Downtown Disney (THREE!!!). The Parkside Market, which will feature even more food, is coming soon. Din Tai Fung will be moving in soon. Tortilla Jo’s closed, but something else is coming there soon. Now, one of the most popular shops in Downtown Disney has closed for a huge makeover.
Disney World’s free transportation system really can’t be beat. It’s FREE, for starters, but it’s also efficient and convenient.
Disney Springs
Between Disney World buses, the Monorail, the Skyliner, and boats, you can get to pretty much anywhere you need to go on Disney World property. But sometimes closures can happen that can affect how you get from point A to point B. For example in bad weather, the Skyliner closes. Other circumstances also affect transportation, and we’ve got a closure to warn you about.
There are so many fun things to do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Sure, you’ve got some amazing rides like Tower of Terror. You can also step INTO Star Wars in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. You can get shrunk down to the size of a toy in Toy Story Land. The movies theme is STRONG here. However, one movie-themed experience at this park will be closing soon for a refurbishment.
