Disney4me Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Looking for a little escape from “all the crazy” that is right now? Usually, we’d just head to the parks to blow off a little steam… Sadly since THAT isn’t really an option right now, let’s just say we’ve had to start seeking out some alternative means to get our Disney fixes! Cinderella Castle and Main Street USA in Disney World And luckily for us, before we could ever officially declare ourselves insane for wearing nothing but PJs for the last week and a half, Disney has always managed to reel us back from the BRINK! That’s right friends — the parks may be closed right now, but the Disney “good times” keep rollin’ in! After all, they can’t wait to have us all back once this whole thing blows over! So until we can all be together again, Disney is still taking good care of us! Here’s how! Shiny, New Disney+ Content Ahh, there’s nothing in the world quite like Disney+. It’s literally like having your best ride-or-die Disney friends right by your side. And new content is being added all the time! ©Disney Elephant Tune in April 3rd to catch Disney Nature’s Elephant, and click here to EVERYTHING coming to Disney+ in April! For April, there’s a bunch of new programming coming to Disney+ including lots of nature movies, original series, and documentaries celebrating the 5oth-anniversary of Earth Day! Surprise! Here Comes Frozen 2 And Onward You could have knocked us over with a feather when Olaf, Elsa, and Anna along with Ian and Barley Lightfoot showed up in our living rooms last week. After all, Onward was still showing in movie theaters. ©Disney Frozen 2 Find out more details about Frozen 2‘s BIG ahead-of-schedule release here! But that didn’t stop Disney from releasing the two new flicks SUPER EARLY! Frozen 2 is now streaming on Disney+ while Onward is available for digital download and will be joining Disney+’s subscribers momentarily! ©Disney Onward Find out when Onward is coming to Disney+ here! We’ll be sure to let you know if Disney decides to release any other movies or shows on Disney+ early, so don’t touch that dial! So Much Good Stuff On shopDisney Can we tell you a little secret? We really love shopping on shopDisney! Even before all this staying at home business, we’ve been known to really rack up a credit card bill without ever leaving our cozy couches!

Imagineering In A Box Now that we’ve got a lot of time on our hands, we figured, why not finally become a Disney Imagineer? Did you know Disney actually offers a completely free online curriculum? Yup, they DO! ©Disney Ever dreamed of becoming an Imagineer? Then click here to get started! It’s called Imagineer in a Box and its a program designed to be flexible enough for all ages.

So far, Disney’s shared a few tutorials on how to draw three distinct versions of Mickey Mouse! Our favorite has to be the classic version of Mickey from the late 1920s, but maybe that’s just us! Updates On The Animals Disney knows we’re thinking a lot about our animal friends right now, which is why they’re regularly sharing updates on the Disney Parks Blog. That way we can see how our furry and feathery buddies are doing! Animal Kingdom Lodge See what the animals are up to now that the parks are closed! In fact, Disney recently shared with us some good news! All the animals are being well cared for by Disney’s Animal Care Team and they’ve even welcomed a new baby zebra and baby porcupine since the temporary closure began. Welcome to Disney World, animal babies! We hope you like your new digs. Disney Is Donating Its Excess Food To Local Charities And while we can’t wait until the parks reopen so we can enjoy all our favorite snacks again, we’re glad knowing all of Disney World and Disneyland’s food went to those who need it most! ©Disney Read more about Disney World donated its excess food here!
