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!

New Marvel Shows Are Coming To Disney+

First, we talked about the new Star Wars shows coming to Disney+ and now it is time to talk about the Marvel shows coming to Disney+ soon!

WandaVision will be about Wanda and Vision as a married couple. This series takes place after Avengers: Endgame and using her powers, Wanda and Vision will be in different time periods such as the 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s. This series will be on Disney+ on January 15, 2021.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier also takes place after Avengers: Endgame. Falcon now has Captain America’s shield and the bad guy from Avengers: Civil War, Helmut Zemo, will be back. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be on Disney+ on March 19, 2021.

Loki is getting his own show called Loki. In Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers traveled back to New York City and Loki grabs the Tesseract and vanishes. That is where this series begins. I am excited for this series because Loki is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Loki will be on Disney+ in May 2021.

What If? will be about what would have happened if things had gone differently in the Marvel movies. What if Peggy Carter had taken the Super Soldier serum? What if Loki had wielded Mjolnir? This interesting series will be on Disney+ in the summer of 2021.

Hawkeye will take place after Avengers: Endgame where Hawkeye is teaching his daughter who will become the next Hawkeye. Hawkeye will be on Disney+ in 2022.

Ms. Marvel will be about a teenage Pakistani American girl with shape shifting abilities. This show will be on Disney+ in late 2021.

Moon Night will be about a formal criminal that changes personalities. We don’t know when this show is coming out yet.

She-Hulk will be about Bruce Banner’s cousin who becomes She-Hulk. We do not know when this show will be on Disney+ yet.

Secret Invasion will be about Nick Fury and how several Marvel superheros are being replaced by the Skrulls. We do not have a release date for this series yet.

Ironheart will be about an engineer who creates an advanced suit of armor and then she becomes a super hero. We do not have a release date for this series yet.

Armor Wars will follow War Machine having to stop a villain after Tony Stark’s technology is stolen. We don’t know when this show is coming out yet.

I Am Groot will be about Baby Groot. We do not know when this show is coming out yet.

That means twelve Marvel shows will be coming to Disney+! I guess we all will be busy watching Disney+!

New Star Wars Shows Are Coming To Disney+

A couple days ago, there was a lot of news about new shows that are coming to Disney+. Today we will be talking about the Star Wars shows coming to Disney+!

Season three of The Mandalorian will be coming to Disney+ during Christmas of 2021.

Lucasfilm announced two Mandalorian spin offs called Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic. Both shows will take place at the same time as The Mandalorian.

The Bad Batch is a Clone Wars spin off that will be on Disney+ in 2021.

We’re also getting a show staring Cassian from Rogue One! It’s called Andor and will be on Disney+ in 2022. This show will take place before Rogue One.

Obi Wan Kenobi is getting his own show called Obi Wan Kenobi. This show will start ten years after Revenge of the Sith. We also know that Darth Vader will be in this series!

Star Wars: Visions will be on Disney+ in 2021. This show will be about Star Wars stories told by Japanese anime.

Lando will teach us more about Lando Calrissian. This is all we know about this show so far.

The Acolyte will be set during the end of the High Republic. We do not know when this show will be coming out yet.

A Droid Story will be about R2 D2 and C3PO. They will be going on a new adventure.

That was a long list! Which Star Wars show are you most looking forward to? I am most looking forward to the Obi Wan Kenobi show because it takes place after Revenge of the Sith and Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie.

Disney+ has announced plans about a lot of shows coming to Disney+ and I promise to tell you about more shows in different blog articles. Keep on the look out for those blog articles!

Park Hopper Option Is Coming Back To Disney World On January 1st!

The Park Hopper option is currently unavailable due to the pandemic, but it is coming back!

You will be able to visit Animal Kingdom….

Starting 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. This is great news because right now you can only visit one park in a day.

As Disney World continues its phased reopening, I will tell you about what is coming back to the Disney World parks!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Is Canceled This Year

Just like how Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party was canceled, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas will also be canceled.

Every year at Disney Resorts you can see amazing gingerbread displays but this year you will not be able to see those displays. In Epcot, the famous Candlelight Processional will be canceled this year. A celebrity would host the event and tell the Christmas story with a choir and fifty piece orchestra.

Here is a list of all the modified Christmas plans from now until December 30, 2020.

All over the Walt Disney World Resort you can see some festive decorations, themed merchandise, seasonal food, drinks, and entertainment. Each Disney park and Disney Springs are all focusing on the holidays. Santa Clause is also having special appearances.

At night, Cinderella’s Castle in Magic Kingdom has projection effects. Cinderella’s Castle changes into different designs that are rotating such as a Christmas sweater and gold, red, and green ornamentation.

Not everything is canceled. Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays and Disney Springs’ Christmas Tree display are coming back! Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays is coming back on November 27, 2020. Joyful! inside World ShowPlace and Voices of Liberty at the American Gardens Theater Stage will be returning.

Even though Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is not happening this year, at least you can enjoy the Christmas decorations and more at Disney World!

The Muppets Are Back For Christmas!

At the end of last year, The Muppets Present Great Moments of History show was closed. The Muppets came back earlier this year for President’s Day Weekend and they are now back again for Christmas!

The Muppets Present Great Moments of History was a show in Liberty Square where the Muppets would sing songs and sign The Declaration of Independence.

This time, instead of singing songs about Independence, the Muppets are singing “Jingle Bell Rock”. Gonzo and his chickens are now shaking jingle bells. The paneling below The Muppets is red, green, and decorated with candy canes and Christmas trees. I think this is a great idea to bring back the Muppets because they were such an important part of Liberty Square.

Be sure to see the Muppets while they are in Liberty Square and take a lot of pictures!

Disney+ Has Now Added GroupWatch

Disney+ added a new feature to its app called GroupWatch.

GroupWatch lets you watch shows or movies on Disney+ with family or friends that don’t live with you. GroupWatch allows you to watch shows or movies at the same time as your family or friends. You have to invite family or friends into your GroupWatch. The family members or friends have to have Disney+. I think this is a great idea especially right now because we are all at home.

You can use GroupWatch for up to 6 people. While you watch the show or movie you can send each other up to 6 emojis!

Have fun trying GroupWatch with family and friends!

You Can Wear A Costume In Magic Kingdom

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party may be cancelled but in Magic Kingdom starting September 15-October 31, 2020 anyone can wear a costume.

It used to be that you could only wear a costume if you are under the age of 14. If you are 14 or older though you are still not allowed to wear a costume mask. You are still required to wear a face covering.

Disney also announced that from September 15-October 31, 2020 fall decorations and Halloween festivals will return. Mickey, Minnie, and friends will be wearing Halloween costumes, Chip N Dale will be in costumes in Frontierland, and other Disney characters will be dressed up while riding horse drawn trolleys down Main Street U.S.A.

There will also be themed treats, themed photos, and more!

Disney’s Mulan Will Be Streaming On Disney+

Mulan will be on Disney+ on September 4, 2020.

This movie was supposed to come out back in March but was pushed back because of the corona virus.

If you have Disney+ Mulan will cost an additional $29.99. Mulan is only available on Disney+. If you live in a country where Disney+ is not available, Disney plans to release Mulan in movie theaters on the same day, September 4, 2020.

You can meet Mulan in the China pavilion.

I am really excited for this movie to come out because Mulan is one of my favorite Disney princesses!

Changes To The 2020 Epcot International Food And Wine Festival

This year the 2020 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival will be adjusted.

Usually, the Food and Wine Festival takes place in the fall but this year it began when Epcot reopened on July 15. (If you would like to read about what rides and entertainment are now open in Epcot click here!)

This year is the longest Food and Wine Festival, lasting from now until the fall. The best part is that Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival is also happening! The newest garden edition is Remy in the France pavilion and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt is back.

The Eat To The Beat Concert Series is a show where bands at the America Gardens Theater play their biggest hits! Unfortunately though, because of social distancing, The Eat To The Beat Concert is not making an appearance this year.

There is still music because at America Garden Theater local, Epcot entertainment is featuring Mariachi Cobre, the JAMMitors, and more.

You can choose to eat at over 20 stands around the world including Hawaii, the Islands in the Caribbean, and Hops and Barley.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party will not be happening this year and if you would like to read more about that than click here!
