food IS a theme park
Disney World sometimes has to shut down rides, attractions, and restaurants in order to update and refurbish them. Next week, three of the four theme parks will have some kind of closure going on.
Cinderella Castle
Let’s check out all the temporary closures in Disney World for the week of October 22nd through the 28th.
Most things have gone back to normal in Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
However, there’s one attraction that NEVER reopened, and at this point, we’re starting to wonder if it ever will!
While visiting the theme parks at Disney World is fun and all, there’s plenty MORE fun to be had back at the hotel.
Disney’s Grand Floridian
Disney World hotels are filled with super immersive theming, some great shops, and even restaurants to indulge in some themed cuisine after a day in the parks. One hotel perk that we believe is slept on by many Disney World visitors is the POOL BAR! No matter the temperature or time of year, you can always hang out by the pool bars and chat around some cocktails and small bites.
A popular ride in EPCOT is going to be temporarily CLOSED this week!

Luckily that closure is only expected to last for a single day. However, there are currently a few other closures in Disney World that are lasting much longer than a day. Let’s check out all the temporary closures in Disney World for the week of October 8th through the 14th.
There are some NEW Minnie ears in Disney World that we think you’re really going to LOVE.

There are a lot of reasons to stay in a Disney World hotel.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Of course, the hotels’ themes are incredible. When staying at a Disney hotel, you don’t just leave Disney at the parks, it carries over into your hotel in artwork, pool decor, food, and more. You also get access to Early Entry and some hotel guests have access to Extened Evening Hours. But one BIG benefit is free transportation around property.
All sorts of exciting things have been happening at Disney World lately, now that we are entering the BEST months of the year.
It’s fall!
That’s right, we’re headed into fall, which means we are looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, AND the winter holiday season. We’ve already gotten a glimpse at some of the treats that will soon pop up in the parks and hotels at Disney World for the fall and winter holidays, and we’ve been looking forward to all the treats that we will soon be able to try. Now, though, we’re going to have to add to that list. Why?
For some Disney World guests, a Disney resort is an ESSENTIAL part of the overall vacation experience. But for others? Staying DIRECTLY with Disney isn’t all that important. Actually, they might even find themselves BETTER OFF without a reservation on Disney World property.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Whaaa? REALLY? YES, really! And today, we’re gonna tell ya WHY that is.
One of the BEST perks of staying at a Disney World hotel is the free transportation.
The best way to get around!
Between the monorail, Skyliner, boats, and buses, making your way around the parks and hotels is pretty easy. Recently, we’ve seen more and more transportation offerings come back, and with this newest change getting around the Disney World hotels is about to get even easier!
There are a LOT of attractions and rides in Disney World, but a few of those are unfortunately CLOSED right now.
