Walt Disney World
Magic Kingdom
- Hello from an absolutely gorgeous day at Walt Disney World where we came to take advantage of the beautiful weather and check out all the new things at the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, and bring you this photo report
- All good things, and good weather, must come to an end but we took advantage of the last day of this unseasonably warm weather to check out what might be new in the Magic Kingdom and bring you another photo report
Disney Springs
- We’ve been watching the construction of the new M&M’s store in Disney Springs since the concept art for the store was released a year ago and now finally, the last of the large M&M’s have taken their place on the front of the store
- And with the major work on the façade for the new M&M’s store in Disney Springs now completed, we got our first look at how the storefront will look as it’s illuminated at night
Disneyland Resort
- The Disneyland Resort has just announced that those guests who held a valid Annual Passport when the parks closed, will now be known as “Legacy Passholders” and have discounts and special perks that will last until the new membership options are put in place
- Earlier this month, it was announced that the Rainforest Café location will be turned into a new Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort and now, additional Sci-Fi elements have been added to the store façade including… satellite dishes?
- With Disneyland Resort once again allowed to have guests dining outside, they are recalling 232 cast members to work immediately
- A new Annual Pass “membership” program is expected to launch upon the reopening of the Disneyland Resort, but as the global pandemic is unpredictable and complex, so is the answer to the question of when Disneyland will roll out its new Annual Pass program
- While couples may not be able to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a trip inside Disneyland Park this year, the resort is still offering some red and pink desserts for everyone to enjoy like the Striped Caramel Marshmallow Wand as well as the Strawberry Minnie Mouse and “Bee Mine” Crispy Treats
Tokyo Disney Resort
- Annual maintenance is an inevitability no matter where you go and Tokyo Disney Resort prefers to tell guests far in advance of upcoming maintenance plans, so they’ve released their schedule for the planned week-long refurbishments through August 2021, and a few months-long refurbs as well
