food IS a theme park
Planning a visit to Disney World soon? Many things have reopened and more are set to reopen soon!
Welcome to Disney World
Just recently we shared details about the reopening of Story Book Character Dining at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and more. Yesterday we shared that Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort will be reopening in 2022, and now we’ve got another update!
Over the past several months, several things have reopened at Disney World.
Disney World Entrance
Just recently, Story Book Character Dining reopened at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Boatwright’s Dining Hall reopened at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and back in October Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside and French Quarter reopened. Previously, Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort had an opening date, but that was later delayed. Now, we’ve got a BIG update!
Disney World continues to return to “normal” as many experiences return to the parks.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
And today, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is BACK after a 21-month hiatus! It’s time to dodge a giant boulder, catch some stunts, and see what Marion and Indy have been up to.
Disney World is HUGE! In just one day, you can rack up thousands of steps as you hop from place to place. Not only that, but you have to wake up pretty early if you want to rope drop, make a Lightning Lane selection, or grab a boarding group for a new attraction! Between all that walking and the EARLY mornings in the parks, most guests are pretty tired by the end of the day.
It’s a HAPPY day in the Magic Kingdom!
Since Disney World reopened in 2020, a popular (and maybe underrated) form of Disney transportation did not return…until NOW! After a long day in the Magic Kingdom, your feet are going to thank you for this!
Disney World is known for change. Walt Disney’s wonderland has ALWAYS been about innovation and evolution, but never have we seen the kind of change Disney World went through in 2020 and 2021!
Main Street crowds
Through ALLLL the ups and downs over these past two years, there were a LOT of game-changing moments and epic changes like never before. This leaves us wondering what the future holds… .
It’s not unusual for rides to get refurbished in Disney World.
Kali River Rapids has reopened
With 50 years of wear and tear on some of the longer-running attractions, it makes sense that they would need a touch-up every once in a while. Disney World’s water rides tend to need those refurbs more frequently than others, and one of them just reopened after a long one!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Although Disney World reopened a little over a year ago, things still aren’t completely back to “normal”. As the pandemic has spread, Disney has updated its health and safety measures to help keep people safe. Recently, we reported that the White House COVID-19 report listed Orange County (where Disney World is located) as a “rapid riser” county.
We’ve been monitoring the health and safety changes in Disney World
Now, we’ve got an update to share about the state of Florida amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual holiday overlay for “it’s a small world” is a time-honored tradition that, alongside Haunted Mansion Holiday, helps ring in the holidays at Disneyland!
it’s a small world holiday!
Every year, we eagerly await this overlay but not too long ago, the attraction flooded, closing the ride! However, we’ve got some good news recently.
It’s officially December, and that means we’re about to have one of the busiest months of the year in Disney World!
Happy Holidays from Hollywood Studios!
We’ve already seen crowds in late November for Thanksgiving break, but the holiday season is just beginning. And because so many guests will be coming to Walt Disney World, there are some exciting offerings and big things you need to know if you’re visiting in the month of December!
If you’ve visited Disney World with an infant, you’re probably very familiar with the Baby Care Centers throughout the parks, including the one at Magic Kingdom.
Baby Care Center
This Baby Care Center is usually located between The Crystal Palace and Casey’s Corner but was recently closed for refurbishment, meaning that a temporary Baby Care Center was set up in Tomorrowland. But now the original Baby Care Center at Magic Kingdom is back — and it’s now got a new wonderful — or should we say wonderland-ful? — theme!
