HUGE Updates Made to a Disney World Hotel Food Court

A popular Disney World hotel food court was supposed to reopen last week on September 29th.

New seating at Everything Pop

However, Disney has now extended the refurbishment by two months. We stopped by to see if there were any updates, and it turned out that a lot had been done to the restaurant! Check out the new updates at Everything Pop Food Court while it continues its refurbishment and everything else that will be closed in Disney World this coming week.

Everything Pop Food Court — Pop Century Resort

Everything Pop Food Court is a surprisingly great place to grab a bite of food if you’re staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

The updates at Everything Pop are looking great!

This food court has been under construction since July 29th, and it was supposed to reopen to its full capacity on September 29th! However, the refurbishment has been extended until November 30th. On a positive note, though, the areas that were closed off are now open and looking fantastic, while the areas that were open are now closed off for their updates.

While this food court refurbishment continues, you’ll find other locations around Disney World also closed for the week of October 6th through October 13th.

Magic Kingdom

Jungle Cruise

It’s no joke, the Jungle Cruise closed in Magic Kingdom on August 26th!

The ride will be temporarily closed until October 16th. We’ll miss this punny ride while it’s closed! If you’re missing the Skippers as much as us, you can always visit them at Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom or at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. A trip to Magic Kingdom just isn’t the same without those silly Skipper jokes!

Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

The opening day attraction, the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, officially closed on June 23rd.

Walls are up around what used to be the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade

This closure is to make room for a new DVC lounge that will soon be coming to Frontierland. This will be the third DVC lounge in Disney World, but we don’t have an opening date, yet.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Tomorrowland Terrace is a restaurant in Magic Kingdom that has usually only been open occasionally, generally during particularly busy seasons. However, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this spot open at all.

Tomorrowland Terrace

Currently, it’s only used for Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert parties, and there’s no word on when it might serve food again.

We know that the ride will continue to be a partnership with Chevrolet and that they will be taking some inspiration from the original ride World of Motion.
