It’s been a busy spring at Disney World.

TRON Lightcycle / Run has opened in Magic Kingdom. Roundup Rodeo BBQ has opened in Hollywood Studios. There’s all kinds of construction still going on over at EPCOT. Disney World hotels are also staying busy right now — so let’s go on a trip around the World’s hotels to see what’s new.

Resortwide

There’s a new, and safer, walkway open now between Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The new walkway no longer requires visitors to cross a busy street.

So keep that in mind if you’re visiting those resorts and want to walk between them. Of course, you can also just take the Monorail to travel between resorts.
