Disney World’s theme parks are gearing up to reopen next month, and to prepare several Disney World resort hotels are getting ready to welcome back guests starting next week!

NEWS! Disney World Just Changed A LOT Of Menus, and We’ve Got The DETAILS!

Walt Disney World

But if you’re looking forward to enjoying one of your favorite meals at one of these Disney World restaurants, you might be out of luck!

Just like we saw right before several restaurants reopened in Disney Springs, menus are getting slashed left and right! We’ve seen lots of starters, appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, and kids’ menu selections fly out the window today! But don’t worry — it’s not all bad news! Several restaurants have added a bunch of new boozy drinks! Let’s find out if your favorite menu items have survived the chopping block.

Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort

Beaches & Cream

One of our favorite spots to eat at Disney World is Beaches & Cream! So far, they’ve cut the Beaches & Cream Salad, Patty Melt, Turkey and Applewood-smoked Bacon Sandwich, and Salmon Sandwich with Bacon Aioli from the menu.

Those are all the menu changes we’ve noticed so far, but we’ll be on the lookout for more, especially now that we know when Disney World hotel guests will be able to book dining reservations once again!

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

At the start of the parks’ temporary closure, all of Disney’s Skyliner gondolas were put away for safekeeping.

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

Disney World

And while we just saw the carousel at Disney Springs’ marketplace spinning along with Cinderella Castle receiving her royal makeover, you won’t believe what else we just saw!

Disney’s Skyliner gondolas have returned to their tracks and they’re on the move once more! Man, we’ve really missed seeing these guys! The wires looked so naked without them!

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

Disney’s Skyliner

Keep in mind, Disney World hasn’t indicated whether or not Disney’s Skyliner will resume when some of the hotels begin to reopen on June 22nd or when the theme parks reopen July 11th and July 15th.

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

Disney’s Skyliner

So far we only know details about a few modes of transportation that will be back on track soon including Disney’s Magical Express airport shuttle as well as the buses that transport guests back and forth from the theme parks and resort hotels. Disney has also shared the monorail and ferry boats will be operating, but service will be limited due to reduced capacity.

Guess What Disney World Transportation Is BACK in the Sky Today!

Disney’s Skyliner

Disney has also confirmed Minnie Vans won’t be operating, so the only thing missing is what’s going to happen with Disney’s Skyliner? We’re eager to hear more information and we’re taking the gondolas being out as a GOOD sign we might find out something soon!

Have you had the chance to ride on Disney’s Skyliner? Let us know if you have in the comments below!

Major League Soccer teams to stay at Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resort

Major League Soccer teams to stay at Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resort Swan & Dolphin

We just shared the news that Major League Soccer is coming to Walt Disney World! All 26 Teams will be resuming their 2020 season at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex starting July 8th, but where will all of these players stay?

While this information wasn’t shared on the initial release we did some digging and found the information on the MLS website under their Health & Safety Protocols.

Here is the info:

In addition to the screenings and testing described above, an MLS task force has worked with leading experts to create guidelines and best practices to help reduce risk and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

These include:

  • Wearing face coverings/face masks;
  • Social distancing;
  • General hygiene (Ex. avoid touching face, washing hands frequently, avoid sharing food, bottles, towels or equipment);
  • Cleaning and sanitization (disinfecting surfaces).

The Walt Disney World Resort Swan and Dolphin Hotel will be providing enhanced cleaning of all venues and enforcing appropriate capacity-management and other social distancing guidelines.

So this sounds like to me that these MLS Players will be staying at Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resort during their return.

Recently we shared the news that the Swan & Dolphin will be closed till the end of July but according to the tournament schedule, it can run up until the middle of August. So there is a good chance we might see the closure of the Swan & Dolphin even longer than July.

In case you missed the news NBA teams will be contained to three specific hotels at Walt Disney World with nightly COVID-19 testing.
