Hi Jolene, and welcome to planDisney!
Your Disney vacation is just DAYS away, and I am so excited for you. Hurray for your February getaway!
As part of the Walt Disney World Resort’s phased reopening,
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside is currently closed. This means that none of the dining or activities are available at the resort and it is closed to all Guests. Unfortunately, this does include the
Fishin’ Hole on Ol’ Man Island.
I spoke to a Cast Member with the Enchanting Extras Collection, and she confirmed that select
pontoon fishing expeditions are available around Walt Disney World. These guided fishing expeditions are a bucket list item for me, because my Dad loves to fish and I think he would be happier than Nemo riding the E.A.C. if he could spend an afternoon fishing on a Disney waterway. If you’d like to learn more about these expeditions, including cost and which resorts from which they are currently setting sail, please contact (407) WDW-BASS between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. any day of the week.
I see you’ll be arriving just before Valentine’s Day, so I have to share
this sweet article from the Disney Parks Blog featuring some of the festive treats and merchandise available at Disney Springs. You’ll also be visiting during the
Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, where you can find lots of
creative and fun activities and booth filled with art-inspired food and drink. I was just watching a video about the festival with my Mouseketeers, and they have our February 2020 visit planned already!
Enjoy counting down the days to your visit, Jolene. If you think of any more questions as you pack, prepare, and dream about your Disney days, please come back and see us.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
