Life moves pretty fast at Disney World, if you don’t stop and look around every once in a while, you might miss something!

Between new Mother’s Day treats, supply shortages, and big changes coming to EPCOT, there’s a lot to keep track of! And now it’s time to take a look at what’s new at the Disney World resorts this week. We have a lot to go over from baby birds to Crocs charms, so let’s get started!

Let’s get started at Disney’s Old Key West Resort!

Dolphin Pool

The Dolphin pool near the main pool at the Old Key West Resort has officially been filled! You can’t swim in this little pond but it’s good to see these little guys splashing around again.

The Big Blue Pool

Though The Big Blue Pool is still open to guests, your photo with Crush might be a little obscured by fencing! When we stopped by, the area around the larger-than-life character was blocked off and crews were busy cleaning.

That’s everything we found at Art of Animation, let’s head over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Construction Updates

A lot of changes are coming to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort with more Disney Vacation Club Villas being added soon so expect to see some construction when you make your way around. For example, we spotted some new construction walls outside of one building…

…and the landscaping and irrigation project at the hotel is currently blocking this path to the beach.

But, one thing that is back to looking normal is over at the marina — the net fencing was removed!

That’s all for the Polynesian Village Resort! Let’s check out the Boardwalk!

Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts Construction Update

As we made our way around Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we noticed that one area of the BoardWalk was blocked off by construction walls. It looked like some work was being done on the floor panels here.

Disney’s All-Star Resorts Food Updates

Food Court

Each All-Star Resort’s food court currently is featuring a new dessert right in time for the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! The Cherry Cheesecake of Madness is made with a Cherry cheesecake on a layer of chocolate cake covered in a Cherry & chocolate glace with wafer shard pieces and it’s filled with a Cherry compote.

This cheesecake was delicious, and the cherries in the center were the star for us! This was a great snack for a hot day, so check it out at the All-Star Resorts if you need a sweet pick-me-up for $6.49.

We also tried the Mother’s Day Dessert from the All-Stars and its deceptively simple name does not do this snack justice. It has Strawberry Mousse with Strawberry Compote and Lemon Curd, and is decorated with a Passion Fruit Candy Crisp! 

This fluffy mousse was light, refreshing and delicious — but, its only available until May 11th for $5.99.

We also found a ton of Doctor Strange merchandise at the All-Stars Resort gift shops! We spotted this Multiverse of Madness shirt for $24.99 that features Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Wong, and America Chavez.

This Doctor Strange hat with the Eye of Agamotto on it was also at the All-Stars for $29.99.

This Doctor Strange hoodie was also at the All-Stars, and it has the Eye of Agamotto on the front for $64.99.
