I Have A Lot Of Disney News To Share With You

A lot of changes have been happening recently in the Disney World parks and resorts and today let’s talk about it.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be redecorating their Main Tower Guest Rooms from April 2021-September 2021. Online there is limited room for Disney’s Contemporary Resort guests in April because of the construction.

For Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, if you stay at a Disney owned resort you will be able to go into the Disney parks 30 minutes before they open. This is called Early Theme Park Entry. My advice would be to do a ride that usually has a long wait time.

The Jungle Cruise is getting a brand new story. It will have new adventures, humor, wildlife, and even new characters. I’m excited for The Jungle Cruise to be getting a new story because it is a great attraction!

On January 1, 2022 Disney World will discount Magical Express airport transportation services.

That is the free transportation that takes you from Disney World Resorts and Orlando International Airport. A Brightline train will take you from Orlando International Airport to Disney Springs. The Brightline Train is supposed to be ready in 2022.

I hope you enjoyed this Disney News list! We have a lot to look forward to for the Disney World Parks and Resorts!

Festival Of The Lion King Is Coming Back To Animal Kingdom

Due to the corona virus pandemic Festival of the Lion King is currently closed, but it’s coming back!

In the summer, Festival Of The Lion King will return to Animal Kingdom. The show will have physical distancing guidelines. The seating will be different from before and the choreography will also be different for physical distancing reasons.

I am so excited that Festival Of The Lion King is coming back! My family and I love this show and we see it every time we go to Disney World.

Hall Of Presidents Is Currently Closed

Hall Of Presidents is a show in Liberty Square where you get to learn about the presidents of The United States Of America. Every four-eight years a new animatronic is added to this show when a new president is elected.

Hall Of Presidents is currently closed and will be closed until April 3, 2021. Hall Of Presidents will be closed because Disney is adding the new president of The United States of America, President Biden, to the show.

Disney will work with President Biden by recording his voice for Hall Of Presidents. Disney will also create an animatronic President Biden.

When this ride reopens, I promise to tell you!

Mickey Mouse Cookies And Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches Are In Supermarkets!!

I first talked about how you can get Mickey Bars from your local supermarkets back in August, and recently I found Mickey Mouse Cookies And Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches at my local supermarket!

I was so excited! They were actually located right next to the Mickey Bars, so I think Mickey Bars are staying in supermarkets!

The Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich is one of my favorite snacks at Disney World, so I had high expectations for it. The Mickey Mouse Cookies And Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches were good, but I had one problem.

There wasn’t enough ice cream in between the two cookies. I felt like I was eating more cookie than ice cream. I give Mickey Mouse Cookies And Cream Ice Cream Sandwiches 4 Mickey Bars!

I still would recommend getting this and the Mickey Bars from your local supermarket!

WandaVision Is Now On Disney+!

WandaVision just came to Disney+ today! (January 15, 2021.)

WandaVision will be about Wanda and Vision as a married couple in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. WandaVision is connected to the Marvel movies and will impact what happens in the next Marvel movies.

WandaVision is only on Disney+ and two episodes were released today. I am excited for this show because I’m happy we have a new Marvel show on Disney+.

New episodes for WandaVision come out on Fridays!

All Four Disney World Parks Are Getting Extended Hours

All four Disney World parks are getting extended hours in the last week of January! (January 24,-30, 2021.) That means you can stay in the Disney World parks later.

Magic Kingdom’s hours will be 9 am-7pm. Before, you could only stay in Magic Kingdom from 9 am-6 pm.

Epcot’s hours will be 11 am-8 pm. Right now, the park closes at 7 pm.

Hollywood Studios will be open from 9 am to 7 pm. Hollywood Studios currently opens at 10 am.

Animal Kingdom’s hours will be 8 am-5 pm. Right now, Animal Kingdom opens at 9 am. On January 24th and 30th though, Animal Kingdom will be open from 8 am to 6 pm.

If you are going to Disney World in the last week of January, you are very lucky!

Can You Get A Hair Cut In Magic Kingdom?

The answer is yes, you can!

In Main Street U.S.A. there is a tiny barber shop called Harmony Barber Shop. Update: Due to the corona virus pandemic, Harmony Barber Shop is currently closed. This barber shop is tucked in the corner, so many people walk past it. Last time I went to Disney World in 2019, my brother and dad went to Harmony Barber Shop to get their haircut.

If you have a younger sibling who is a baby, they can get their first haircut in Disney World.

A great thing about Harmony Barber Shop is that anyone can get their haircut. It doesn’t matter how old you are. You could be a baby, kid, teenager, or adult.

This is how Al and my dad’s hair looked at the end.

I give Harmony Barber Shop 4 Mickey Bars! It is a unique experience that I think you should try, but it felt like a normal barber shop. It didn’t feel like you are in Disney World. That is why I gave Harmony Barber Shop 4 Mickey Bars.

All around the World Showcase there will be booths with festival foods. You can also buy over 100 Disney or guest artist art work. These works of art will be on display around the World Showcase. You will find guest artists around the park creating art in front of you.

Do you like scavenger hunts? Well, you should try the searching for Figment scavenger hunt at Epcot!

The Epcot International Festival of the Arts will have a lot of entertainment such as the JAMMitors, Mariachi Cobre, and the Voices of Liberty.

You will be able to step inside paintings with photo locations all around Epcot.

Paint By Number lets you do paint-by number murals. This turns into a big master piece!

If you are going to see Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts then you have a lot to look forward to!

2021 Has Already Brought Changes To Disney World

2021 is bringing some changes to Disney World and today let’s talk about the changes that have already begun.

Park Hopping returned on January 1, 2021. If you purchase a ticket or annual pass with Park Hopper benefits you can visit more than one park in one day.

You can once again visit as many parks as you want depending on the capacity. You can also only Park Hop after 2:00 pm. Disney will soon change the time for Park Hopping. You can read more about park hopping here!

Disney is now not giving guests free MagicBands . In the past, you could choose a MagicBand and the MagicBand would be shipped to your house before you went to Disney World. Now, if you have a hotel reservation you can get a discount MagicBand or link MagicBands from another Disney World trip.

In the past, if you had a Disney World reservation you would get free reusable luggage tags and a Magical Extras discount card. These would be given to you before you go to Disney World.

Now, you will not get a free reusable luggage tag or Magical Extras discount card. Instead, you will get the reusable luggage tags and Magical Extras discount card at the front desk of your Disney World resort.

I will continue to keep you updated with changes happening in Disney World!
