  2. Disney Cruise Line in Florida supports communities, conservation efforts, and the state’s economy through its operations at its homeports, Port Canaveral in Brevard County and Port Everglades in Broward County. From youth and career-readiness programs to coastal cleanups, marine conservation work and tourism activity, Disney Cruise Line helps create a positive impact in the places where its ships sail and guests begin their vacations. That commitment has also been recognized across the industry: Disney Cruise Line was recently named the highest-ranked cruise line on the Forbes 2026 Best Brands for Social Impact list, which ranks companies based on social stances, sustainability and community support. How Disney Cruise Line Supports Florida Communities Disney Cruise Line supports Florida community programs through hands-on learning, education initiatives, and career exploration opportunities that benefit students, families, and local organizations in Broward and Brevard counties. Empowering Youth: Disney Cruise Line annually participates in Back-to-School readiness for students and educators, including with local organizations such as the Brevard Schools Foundation and the Jack & Jill Center in Broward County. Career Readiness: Disney Cruise Line supports Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward and Central Florida through hands-on learning experiences, including ship tours, community projects, and education activities that introduce students to new skills and future career possibilities. Developing Young Professionals: Disney Cruise Line invests in career readiness programming with Junior Achievement of South Florida and Space Coast with opportunities that introduce students to the maritime industry and help build professional skills. Community Wellbeing: Disney Cruise Line teamed up with the Starlight Children’s Foundation and Broward Health to bring the joy of movie nights to patients and families, helping to create a more positive experience during a child’s time in the hospital. Food Insecurity: Disney Cruise Line VoluntEARS support the Children’s Hunger Project in Brevard County each year through Back-to-School efforts, donating their time to help provide hundreds of meals for local children, with additional financial contributions to help expand access to meals throughout the school year. Disney Cruise Line’s Economic Impact in Florida Each sailing from Disney Cruise Line’s Florida homeports at Port Canaveral and Port Everglades helps drive economic activity beyond the terminal, supporting Florida cruise tourism, local businesses, hotel stays and jobs across the state. Operations Hub: Florida is home to many of Disney Cruise Line’s shoreside cast and crew members who contribute to local communities and global operations from offices across Central Florida and at its homeports in both Brevard and Broward counties. Connection to Central Florida Tourism: With its proximity to Walt Disney World Resort, Port Canaveral is part of a larger Central Florida tourism network, where visitor travel to the region helps support local businesses, hotel stays, and jobs beyond the port. Supporting Florida Tourism: As one of the world’s busiest cruise ports with convenient connections to Central Florida, Port Everglades can be part of longer, multi-stop Florida vacations for Disney Cruise Line guests — supporting tourism activity across the state. Investing in Future Generations: Through support of community-led education and workforce initiatives, Disney Cruise Line helps create opportunities for students and young people to explore careers connected to the maritime and tourism industries. Disney Cruise Line's Conservation Efforts in Florida Disney Cruise Line supports marine conservation and environmental sustainability in Florida through efforts that help protect coastal and marine environments, reduce emissions, minimize waste, and conserve natural resources. Restoring Coral Reefs: Building on its long-time commitment to helping protect and restore coral reefs, Disney collaborated with other coral reef management and conservation leaders to establish the Florida Coral Rescue Center in Orlando. The center is the largest facility of its kind in the United States and is part of a national network coordinated by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Protecting Sea Turtles: Disney Cruise Line supports Tour de Turtles in collaboration with the Sea Turtle Conservancy and Disney Conservation. This annual event at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort supports research that enables scientists to track sea turtles from their nesting beaches to foraging grounds while collecting vital data about turtles’ habits at sea. Beach Cleanups: In collaboration with local organizations, Disney Cruise Line VoluntEARS help clean up the coastlines of both Broward and Brevard counties. Educational Programming: Disney Cruise Line provides annual funding to Brevard Zoo’s youth education programs, including “Be Outside with Brevard Zoo.” Beautification Collaborations: Crew VoluntEARS joined the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida for a beautification project at Brevard Zoo’s “Paws On” play area, which included educational sessions about conservation and animal care. Together, these programs reflect Disney Cruise Line’s long-standing commitment to supporting Florida communities, advancing conservation, and contributing to the state’s tourism economy through its operations at Port Canaveral and Port Everglades.

  3. Since 2011, Disney Cruise Line has introduced families to the breathtaking beauty and spirit of Southeast Alaska while investing in community-led efforts spanning local engagement, environmental conservation, and economic development across the region. With Alaska cruises traveling the Inside Passage via ports of call in Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka, Disney Cruise Line takes pride in supporting its port communities. One example is Disney Cruise Line’s sponsorship of Spruce Root’s Path to Prosperity Business Competition, which supports more than 20 community-based groups across Southeast Alaska — reflecting a broader commitment to the region that continues through Disney Cruise Line’s work in economic development, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. These efforts are being recognized across the industry, as Disney Cruise Line was recently named the highest-ranked cruise line on the Forbes 2026 Best Brands for Social Impact list, which ranks companies based on social stances, sustainability, and community support. How Disney Cruise Line Supports Alaska Communities Disney Cruise Line supports youth, families, and local communities across Southeast Alaska through programs focused on food security, cultural connection, and educational opportunities, while also collaborating with organizations that strengthen cultural and community ties. Empowering Youth: Disney Cruise Line hosts ship tours for Junior Achievement and workforce readiness sessions for Ketchikan students. Developing Young Professionals: Through Alaska Youth Stewards, Disney Cruise Line helps connect youth with professionals in conservation, Tribal government, and natural resources, with a focus on future employment opportunities.

Addressing Food Insecurity: Disney Cruise Line’s investments in the Southeast Alaska Food Bank help expand access to resources, including more than 19,000 pounds of food distributed to at-risk youth since 2024. Disaster Relief: Disney Cruise Line provided aid for relief efforts following the September 2024 landslide and flooding in Ketchikan by donating blankets, wellness kits, and books to impacted families. Disney Cruise Line’s Economic Impact in Alaska Disney Cruise Line contributes to Alaska’s economy by investing in local businesses and fueling jobs tied to cruise operations, tourism, and port activity — many of them Alaska-based, small, or family-run. Disney Cruise Line Environmental Sustainability in Alaska Disney Cruise Line helps minimize its environmental impact in Alaska by reducing emissions, conserving resources, and contributing to hands-on conservation efforts. Disney complies with Alaska’s environmental regulations, including wastewater treatment, emissions standards, and responsible wildlife navigation practices. Preserving the Environment: Disney Cruise Line works with Alaska Youth Stewards to engage youth in environmental stewardship projects, including trail improvements, planting, debris collection, and salmon habitat monitoring. Reducing Emissions: Disney Cruise Line uses ultra-low-sulfur fuel, eliminating the need for scrubbers. Eliminating Single-Use Plastics: Disney Cruise Line has eliminated nearly all single-use plastics across its ships, replacing those items with reusable or recyclable alternatives. Fleetwide recycling programs divert an average of more than 2,900 tons of materials annually. Protecting Wildlife: Disney Cruise Line has measures in place to help avoid marine life, including complying with local regulations and voluntary ship speed reductions. Before each Alaska season, captains and first officers complete refresher training and voluntarily report humpback whale sightings to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. From supporting Southeast Alaska communities and local businesses to advancing conservation, environmental sustainability, and responsible tourism, Disney Cruise Line’s Alaska sailings reflect an ongoing commitment to creating a positive impact in the port communities it visits.

  4. For more than 25 years, Disney has introduced families from around the world to the vibrant culture, rich traditions, and breathtaking natural beauty of The Bahamas. Through community investments, economic opportunity, and environmental stewardship, Disney Cruise Line has built lasting relationships across The Bahamas while helping create positive local impact. Every Disney Cruise Line ship is registered in The Bahamas, and today, many Disney Cruise Line itineraries include a stop in The Bahamas, home to both Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Together, these destinations provide guests with opportunities to experience the spirit of The Bahamas while investing in local communities, businesses, and conservation efforts. These efforts are being recognized across the industry, as Disney Cruise Line was recently named the highest-ranked cruise line on the Forbes 2026 Best Brands for Social Impact list, which ranks companies based on social stances, sustainability, and community support. Celebrating Bahamian Heritage and Communities Disney Cruise Line helps youth, families, and communities throughout The Bahamas through programs that celebrate the culture and traditions of the islands, expand educational opportunities, create pathways to future careers, and aids in times of need. Celebrating Bahamian Culture: At Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line celebrates and helps preserve Bahamian culture through experiences like Rush! A Junkanoo Celebration — developed with the National Junkanoo Committee and featuring local performers, music, and traditions — and the Goombay Cultural Center, where guests can learn about Bahamian history, crafts, and artistry. Beyond the destination, Disney Cruise Line recognizes Junior Junkanoo programs in Eleuthera and Abaco by helping fund costumes, materials, travel, and prizes for participating schools, while also connecting students with Disney entertainment professionals and Bahamian creative leaders to inspire future careers in the creative industries. Addressing Food Insecurity: In collaboration with the Agricultural Development Organization, Disney Cruise Line has developed backyard gardens across The Bahamas, including projects at Ranfurly Homes for Children and Patrick J. Bethel High School. These gardens provide hands-on learning opportunities while helping increase access to fresh produce. Disney Cruise Line also supports the Bahamas Feeding Network through volunteer initiatives and financial contributions, including an annual $50,000 donation that helps sustain year-round operations and address food insecurity. Empowering the Next Generation: Through partnerships with organizations including Junior Achievement Bahamas and LJM Maritime Academy, Disney Cruise Line helps Bahamian students develop practical skills and explore career opportunities in the hospitality and maritime industries. Disney Cruise Line also partners with the University of The Bahamas’ Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (CELEARN) program through the Leading Light Programme, providing college-level hospitality and leadership training at no cost to residents of Eleuthera. The Power of Play: Disney Cruise Line’s ‘The Play Project’ helps create and improve safe spaces where children can play, learn, and connect. Launched in connection with the opening of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, the initiative has expanded across Eleuthera, Nassau, and Abaco, providing upgraded recreational facilities and creating more than 33,000 hours of play opportunities for over 600 children since 2024. Giving Back Throughout the Year: Each year, Disney Cruise Line participates in Back-to-School and holiday giving initiatives across The Bahamas, providing educational supplies for nearly 3,000 students and celebrations for families during the holiday season. Supporting Recovery and Resilience: Following Hurricane Dorian in 2019, Disney Cruise Line supported relief and recovery efforts throughout The Bahamas, including a $1 million donation to nonprofit relief organizations and the delivery of critical supplies such as food staples and construction materials. Creating Economic Opportunity in The Bahamas Across Nassau, Abaco, and Eleuthera, Disney works with Bahamian entrepreneurs, suppliers, and organizations while investing in programs that help expand skills development and economic opportunity. Championing Local Businesses and Talent: Disney Cruise Line collaborates with Bahamian artists, performers, and business owners to help bring authentic cultural experiences to life. At Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, local artisans, cultural experts, and entertainers played an important role in shaping the destination’s guest experience, from architecture and storytelling to live entertainment and retail offerings. Creating Career Pathways: Across its island destinations, Disney Cruise Line supports hundreds of jobs for Bahamians, including roles created during the development and operation of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. These positions provide opportunities for professional growth, training, and development. Conservation and Sustainability in The Bahamas Conservation and sustainability are central to Disney Cruise Line’s presence in The Bahamas. Through conservation partnerships, thoughtful destination design, and environmentally focused operations, Disney Cruise Line works to help protect marine habitats, wildlife, and native ecosystems. Working with Conservation Experts: Disney Cruise Line collaborates with Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment team on research, conservation, and educational programs, including coral conservation initiatives that have been in place since 2007. Backing Conservation Through Grants: The Disney Conservation Fund provided more than 80 grants totaling over $6.5 million to support 24 local conservation initiatives in The Bahamas. Investments and expert guidance from the Disney Conservation Fund help local organizations protect wildlife, preserve habitats, and inspire future generations of environmental stewards. Disney Cruise Line prioritizes reducing emissions and minimizing waste while also conserving the natural beauty of its island destinations in many ways. Preserving Natural Landscapes: Most of the land at both Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point remains undeveloped, helping preserve native habitats and minimize disruption to local ecosystems. Solar Energy: On-site solar installations help support renewable energy and operational energy needs at both island destinations. Nearly 12,000 solar panels create a capacity of 3,900 kilowatts across Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Reducing Single-Use Plastics: Disney Cruise Line has eliminated nearly all single-use plastics onboard its ships and at its island destinations in The Bahamas. Recycling Used Cooking Oil: Used cooking oil from Disney Cruise Line operations is collected and recycled in port communities, including Nassau, where it is repurposed into fuels and other products. Dedicated Environmental Leadership: Island Environmental Managers oversee sustainability initiatives, environmental compliance and crew training programs to help reach Disney Cruise Line’s environmental goals. Inspiring Environmental Awareness: Guests can participate in educational programs led by experts to learn more about protecting natural environments and wildlife in The Bahamas. Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay: Disney Cruise Line’s Island Destinations in The Bahamas Disney Castaway Cay Located in the Abaco island chain, Disney Castaway Cay spans more than 1,000 acres. A large portion of the island remains undeveloped and preserved, with guest activities concentrated in a limited area to help minimize environmental impact. Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point Located on the island of Eleuthera, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is a 900-acre island destination that celebrates the culture and natural beauty of The Bahamas. Disney Cruise Line developed less than 16% of the site, leaving the overwhelming majority of the land in its natural state. Sustainable design practices and wildlife conservation efforts help protect the surrounding environment while creating immersive experiences rooted in Bahamian culture. From Disney Castaway Cay to Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney Cruise Line’s presence in The Bahamas reflects its commitment to community support, conservation, sustainability, and economic opportunity — creating meaningful local impact while sharing the spirit and natural beauty of The Bahamas with guests.

  6. When it first debuted on Disney+, Percy Jackson and the Olympians struck the streaming service like lightning. The popular book-turned-show seemed to garner positive critical acclaim quickly. ©Disney With so much success, fans were thrilled when a second season was announced, and now it seems like we haven’t seen the last of Percy Jackson and his pals, as we officially know when the third season will be released on Disney+. Not only that, but we’ve got a first look at a new teaser trailer! The news was revealed during a San Diego Comic Con panel, and fans went wild, according to Deadline. They were also treated to the first few minutes of footage from Season 3. ©Disney Season 3 of Percy Jackson will be the first time that the third book in author Rick Riordan’s series has been adapted for the screen. The previous film adaptations ended with Sea of Monsters, so fans are thrilled to see this book come to life for the first time. In The Titan’s Curse, the series darkens and matures as Percy and his friends become more involved in the war between the gods. The official description of Season 3 reads, “Percy Jackson is on a dangerous quest. Outrunning monsters and outwitting gods, he must journey across America to return Zeus’ master bolt and stop an all-out war. With the help of his quest mates Annabeth and Grover, Percy’s journey will lead him closer to the answers he seeks: how to fit into a world where he feels out of place, and find out who he’s destined to be.” ©Disney We’ll be on the lookout for more Disney+ updates you need to know about.

  7. In news shocking to no one who’s been to Disney World before, Central Florida can get HOT, especially during the summer. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure When we find ourselves baking in the heat at the Magic Kingdom, these are the rides and spaces we go to cool down and recharge. Hall of Presidents When it comes to “Magic Kingdom shows to get out of the heat,” Liberty Square’s Hall of Presidents is probably the first show that comes to mind for many (at least while the Carousel of Progress is on the refurbishment list). This patriotic pageant featuring animatronics of every U.S. President has been a refuge from the climate for over 50 years now. Plus, if you don’t want to see the show, you can still enjoy the air-conditioned atrium and gallery. The Hall of Presidents atrium 3 Snacks Announced for Magic Kingdom Including NEW Churros Country Bear Musical Jamboree Just down the road from the Hall of Presidents, there’s Frontierland’s Country Bear Musical Jamboree. The newest version of the iconic show features the original bears belting out well-known Disney songs, all in air-conditioned glory. In other words, if you want to cool down in a dark theater but would prefer animatronic bears to animatronic presidents, this is probably the spot for you. Country Bear Jamboree 4 New Rules For Magic Kingdom in 2027 Columbia Harbour House Columbia Harbour House provides an air-conditioned space to dine on a quick-service New England menu of fish and chicken. In particular, sitting upstairs provides a place to cool down and people-watch on the Haunted Mansion queue. Dining area at Columbia Harbour House Adults Are Secretly Ordering THESE Kid’s Meals at Magic Kingdom Mickey’s PhilharMagic While the Hall of Presidents and the Country Bear Musical Jamboree may be the cool-down shows of choice for Gen. X members, Elder Millennial hearts likely belong to Fantasyland’s Mickey’s PhilharMagic. Air conditioning? Check. 3D Representations of some of the biggest films of the Disney Renaissance? Check. A soundtrack of classic songs? Check. It’s kind of a paradise for park-goers born from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. Mickey’s PhilharMagic Disney World’s Wait Times Are Heating Up Along with the Temperature Eating upstairs at Pinocchio Village Haus Remaining in Fantasyland, guests looking to have a bite to eat while escaping the heat can head up the second floor of Pinocchio’s Village Haus to enjoy a meal. Plus, they’ll have a view of… Upstairs at Pinocchio “it’s a small world” When it comes to the best Disney World rides to beat the heat, Pinocchio Village Haus’s neighbor, “it’s a small world” might be the top option. It’s air-conditioned, floating on water, and lasts between 12 and 15 minutes. Of course, it might depend on just how much of a tolerance level one has for the classic (but repetitive) song. “it’s a small world” This Disney World Ride Will Be Closed for Refurbishment in August 2026 PeopleMover While the PeopleMover isn’t air-conditioned and takes place mainly outdoors, the attraction’s constant motion means riders experience a perpetual “breeze.” Of course, the only danger there is if it breaks down. PeopleMover 8 Disney Ride CHANGES Confirmed for November Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Swinging back over to Frontierland, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is certainly the most thrilling way to beat the heat thanks to its air-conditioned interior sections, as well as the final drop and its massive — and on a hot day, massively refreshing — splash. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure We’ve Got a Big Update on the “Cars” Land Coming To Magic Kingdom DOLE Whip in the Enchanted Tiki Room Finally, there’s the iconic combination of a DOLE Whip (personally, I go for the float) and a seat watching the Enchanted Tiki Room in all its air-conditioned glory.

  8. Hey Marvel fans, Deadpool’s story isn’t done quite yet! ©Marvel It was recently announced by Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, that another Deadpool movie will be coming to the big screen…at some point. With two big Marvel movies coming out this year, and another massive one on the way next year, we know there is a lot up in the air for the plans of Marvel Studios. Recently during a panel at Fanatics Fest over the weekend, Ryan Reynolds confirmed that there will “eventually” be another movie starring the iconic Marvel antihero, but it may revolve around “deep cuts” from the character’s comics, according to Variety. ©Marvel “There’s a few really deep cuts that I think are missing from the movies. I think there’s a few deep cuts missing from some of the comics,” Reynolds told moderator Nature Luvz You. “There’s certainly some stuff that I love that [Deadpool co-creator] Fabian [Nicieza] wrote that is incredible [and] Gerry Duggan, another friend and incredible comic writer, that we can put in. But then there’s stuff upcoming. There’s eventually, you know, remotely another ‘Deadpool’ film. So it’s going to be great.” ©Marvel Reynolds mentioned before that he already started writing the return of Deadpool to the big screen, but the main focus wouldn’t be on him. “I have some stuff kind of written, but I don’t think I am ever going to center him again,” Reynolds said. “He is a supporting character. He is a guy who is great in a group.” ©Marvel Although it’s not confirmed, there’s a chance we might see Deadpool before his next movie. Avengers: Doomsday releases to theatres on December 18th, and we know it’s going to be the start of a multiversal battle. That movie will lead into Avengers: Secret Wars, which releases in 2027. That next movie WILL be a multiversal battle. So, there’s a chance that Deadpool could appear in either of those movies, but nothing has been confirmed. ©Marvel Studios In an interview in 2024, Reynolds talked about how he’d love to cross paths with the Avengers and X-Men, but wouldn’t want to join the team. “If he becomes either, we’re at the end,” Reynolds said. “Deadpool works so well appearing with the X-Men and Avengers, but he always needs to stay an outsider. His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated. But he can’t be accepted. His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies. If and when he does become an Avenger or X-Man, we’re at the end of his journey.” ©Marvel We’d love to see another Deadpool movie in the future, and it sounds like we will. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Marvel in the future.

  11. Before the first slice of seafood ever meets the board behind the sushi counter at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Lead Sushi Chef Jose Fernandez Daboin is already thinking about the guest in front of him — where they’re from, which flavors remind them of home, and how he can surprise them with something unexpected. Since the Spicy Kazan Roll and Surf & Turf Roll are two of the first flavors that guests may taste on their three-course culinary experience, Jose knows just how important it is to get every detail right. From Line Cook to Sushi Artist Jose’s skill and knowledge come from years of dedication to his craft. Before coming to Disney, he entered the culinary field as a line cook, working the hot line before a last-minute opportunity to cover a sushi station introduced him to an entirely new side of the kitchen. What began as a temporary assignment quickly became a passion. “I realized sushi was completely different than what I was doing. It’s precise, it’s detailed, and there’s so much behind it,” Jose explains. In 2020, Jose brought that growing skill set to Walt Disney World, first working in festival kitchens before returning to sushi at Kona Café at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. He spent two years there refining his technique and discovering how Disney storytelling extends to the plate before bringing his talents to California Grill, where he now blends artistry, innovation, and global inspiration into every dish. Pictured: Spicy Kazan Roll Where Global Curiosity Meets Guest Connection Eager to continue growing and pushing culinary boundaries, Jose studies international cuisine when he’s not behind the sushi counter. Inspired by the popularity of Brazilian sushi, he began learning Portuguese to better understand ingredients and flavor preferences from around the world. “I love getting to know where our guests are from and what they like,” Jose shares. “I follow sushi trends from different countries to learn best practices from around the world and bring them to California Grill.” That dedication helps him anticipate what guests might enjoy and create experiences that feel both familiar and unexpected. When a server mentioned a visiting family was from Brazil, Jose knew salmon and cream cheese were a popular pairing in their home country. He stopped by their table to suggest the custom addition to their order. “Their reaction was everything,” he says with a smile. Turning Every Bite into a Guest Memory Whether he’s crafting a Hidden Mickey into a beautifully plated roll, inviting guests into the creative process through careful questions to gauge their taste preferences, or offering a single taste to spark curiosity, each guest interaction becomes an opportunity to turn a meal into a memory. For Jose, the most memorable part of every dish isn’t what’s on the plate — it’s the moment a guest feels seen, surprised, and right at home, all in a single bite. “If someone is curious, we’re here for them,” he says. “In other places, an order might just be another ticket. Here, I work with guests beyond the menu, crafting flavors just for them. At Disney, it’s about making magic, and that’s what sets us apart.” Recently, Jose shared that same spirit of curiosity and creativity with Walt Disney World Ambassadors, guiding them through a fun, hands-on sushi-making experience featuring California Grill’s signature Spicy Kazan Roll. That culinary magic continues across Disney parks. From sushi counters to confectionary kitchens, just like Jose, each chef brings their own flavor of Disney magic to the table. In celebration of National Culinary Arts Month go behind the nametag with five chefs who create Disney memories with a single bite.

  12. Disney Cruise Line has been sailing the seven seas since 1996 and currently has a fleet of eight ships, with more on the way (and we’re so excited about the future of the cruise line and its new ships). Disney Cruise Line This year has seen many firsts for Disney Cruise Line, including the maiden voyage of the Disney Adventure, the first Disney ship to set sail from Singapore. Well, Disney Cruise Line just announced another first: its first female captain in the entire history of the cruise line! Captain Maria Gotor is the newest captain for Disney Cruise Line. Gotor has taken over the helm of the iconic Disney Wish, but what makes her really interesting is that her current career path was a surprise, even to her. Before becoming a captain, Gotor was practicing law in Spain. ©Disney Gotor changed her mind about law after sailing across the Strait of Gibraltar. During her cruise, she met the ferry’s captain and visited the wheelhouse. That day changed her life. She went back to school for a master’s degree in nautical engineering and maritime navigation. After finishing her education, she began piloting that very same ferry! But that wasn’t enough: Gotor eventually took on ocean navigation aboard a passenger cruise ship, with her first job in 2009. She joined Disney Cruise Line in 2024. ©Disney Gotor says she was drawn to Disney Cruise Line because it was so unique (we’d have to agree!). She said, “The joy on board is real, and today I am the happiest I have ever been.” She referred to serving as the Disney Wish’s captain as “deeply personal and professionally meaningful.” See? Dreams really do come true! Disney Wish at Castaway Cay Gotor also loves the challenge of captaining the Wish. She said, “Guiding a cruise ship requires constant focus, judgment and precision. I love the challenge of monitoring changing conditions at sea or preparing to bring the ship safely into port. On the Disney Wish, there’s 144,000 tons of steel that you have to stop without brakes. It’s challenging, and it’s rewarding.” She also attributes the happiness she feels on board to the crew who cheered her on when she was revealed as the ship’s captain. ©Disney We wish Gotor all the best as the captain of the Wish, and we can’t wait to sail aboard her fine vessel again.

  13. If you’ve never been to Disney World or you’re looking for a new way to beat the rain, let us introduce you to our silliest secret weapon. The ULTIMATE rainy day solution? We tested out these VIRAL shoecovers in Disney World through 4 major downpours. When we first saw the covers, we thought they were honestly super silly. Did they prove us wrong, or are we ditching these on our next trip? We’re spilling our secrets right here! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Have you ever been caught in a Disney World storm unprepared? We definitely have! It can honestly ruin your day if you’re like us and hate soggy shoes and socks. That’s why we like to keep our bags packed and rain gear ready. When we spotted these viral shoe covers, we knew we had to put them to the test. Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers We will be totally honest: when we first saw these shoe covers, we thought “there’s no way these work.” Boy, did they prove us wrong! These are less than $20, and we truly had zero faith that they could survive a Disney World rainstorm. Now, several storms later, we don’t want to go without them! The biggest highlight? They actually do what they say they will. Slipping it on! These slip on easily over your tennis shoes, but we do recommend considering sizing up if you’re at the high end of the sizing range. This will help to alleviate any discomfort from the zipper on your toes. These shoe covers help us avoid our soaked shoes, and they let us continue through storms without fear of totally ruining our expensive tennis shoes. A closer look at the zipper! While these do work, they aren’t 100% foolproof! The top does still have an open gap, leaving room for rain to get in from the top. We also noticed that rain can trickle into them as it runs down your legs. While this isn’t ideal, they still protect us more than having nothing at all. Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers As frequently as it rains in Disney World, these covers have genuinely made our days significantly easier. There are few things that are worse than soggy socks and shoes on your vacation! We have seen some commentary online that these are slippery in wet conditions, but that hasn’t been our experience when using them in storms. Grab your own shoe covers here! This is just one of our many Disney World recommendations, so be sure to keep following DFB for more! View the full article
  14. There are few things more delightful than being on a Disney vacation and starting your day with Mickey waffles! It’s a Minnie waffle! In Disney World, you can find them all over the place — hotel restaurants, select theme park breakfast spots, and character meals. They’re a staple of any trip! But now, there’s a NEW way to enjoy Mickey waffles at an underrated hotel restaurant. Let’s go check it out! Rix Sports Bar & Grill at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort has long flown under the radar as a great breakfast stop in Disney World. That is, until they got semi-famous a few years ago when they added chicken-filled Mickey waffles on a stick! Chicken Stuffed Mickey Waffle Now, that popular breakfast option has been REMOVED from the menu in favor of a new version of Mickey waffles, and we had to stop by to check it out. Rix Sports Bar is located inside the main building at Coronado Springs, and here, you’ll enjoy a casual atmosphere whether you’re checking out a game or grabbing a quick bite. Rix Sports Bar & Grill There’s a mix of high-tops and regular tables in here, and there’s bar seating as well. The TVs play sports and news throughout the day, so this is a great spot to stop and watch a game. The seating So what are we here to try? Well, the breakfast menu calls this new item Chicken and Mickey Waffles, and it’s available for $20. Breakfast menu They’re described as Mickey churro waffles topped with crispy chicken tenders tossed in Nashville rub and hot honey maple finished with powdered sugar. There are a limited number of places in Disney World where you can find Mickey churro waffles at any given point — the most popular spot to grab them is at Crystal Palace, but they’re also available at Spyglass Grill. These waffles became famous on Disney Cruise Line as a unique breakfast offering. Here they are! But now, they’re covered in a bit of heat…so how do they taste? Well, first you need to know that you get both Mickey AND Minnie waffles with this plate, and they’re the exact same flavor-wise as the other churro waffles we’ve had. A little crispy on the outside with that sugary crust, but soft and fluffy inside. Sweet and cinnamony mixed together. The waffles The Nashville hot sauce is smothered on the chicken, but it drips down onto the plate as well, so you get some bites of heat even with the sweet waffles. It’s a stellar sweet-and-spicy combo! The chicken tenders are the crispy-crunchy ones we all know and love with juicy meat on the inside, but the addition of the sauce and churro flavor from the waffles take this dish to the next level. Served with syrup on the side The heat builds as you eat, but it’s a pleasant burn. Would probably be too spicy for the spice-averse, but we wouldn’t exactly call it “hot” either — more medium-level heat. Our favorite bites were those sweet waffles dragged through the spicy sauce. Disney knocked it out of the park with this one! A bit of waffle and chicken So if you’re staying at Coronado Springs or you’re a Mickey waffle afficionado, you definitely need to try these out. You can make reservations to dine at Rix Sports Bar & Grill, and they’re usually not too difficult to snag unless there’s a major event happening at Coronado.

  17. EPCOT has long been known for its restaurants, and to this day, a visit to Le Cellier Steakhouse, Chefs de France, or one of the park’s other signature eateries is a bucket list item for many visitors. Oysters Rockefeller However, there’s a certain time of year when guests might be better off skipping EPCOT’s restaurants altogether, and it happens to be during the park’s most POPULAR annual event. The 2026 edition of EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival is scheduled to run from August 27th to November 21st, and, as always, will be loaded with foods from all around the world spread across the park. Some of our favorites in years past include the Street Corn Dumplings at Gyozas of the Galaxy… Street Corn-style Dumplings …the Gulf Coast Style Seafood Roll at Flavors of America… Gulf Coast Seafood Roll …the Hawaiian Rice Bowl at the Hawaii booth… Hawaiian Rice Bowl …and the iconic Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup at the Canada Booth, just to name a few. Cheese soup from the Canada booth! On top of the fact that some or all of those dishes will be returning, the 2026 International Food & Wine Festival will also offer a litany of new options, some of which will become beloved favorites themselves. This means that there will be a lot of food to try at the festival, so as great as EPCOT’s restaurants are, skipping them to indulge in more fest offerings might be a better call. Unless you’re a music fan, that is! If you’re a diehard music lover who wants to guarantee a spot to see your band of choice at the Eat to the Beat concert series, you should likely look into an Eat to the Beat Dining Package. Eat to the Beat! These packages include an entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (where applicable), as well as a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older) at participating EPCOT restaurants. The only restaurant that differs is Spice Road Table, where guests get 2 small plates, a shared dessert platter, and a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older). John Stamos with the Beach Boys at Eat to the Beat in 2025 The real draw is beyond the food, however, is that the package also includes one guaranteed seat per person to one Eat to the Beat concert on the same day, making them the ONLY way to get guaranteed seating to the most in-demand concerts. Given the lines we’ve seen in recent years for acts like The Beach Boys or Yellowcard, that is a MASSIVE perk. End of the line all the way in Norway If you’re heading to EPCOT for the International Food & Wine Festival this year, you may want to skip the park’s restaurants…unless you’re looking to rock out with a particular artist.

  20. Change is constant in Disney World, and recently we’ve seen it take over Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, A LOT of places in Hollywood Studios, and an entire area in Magic Kingdom. Piston Peak Construction And with all of the construction around the resort and new things being announced frequently, we don’t see anything slowing down just yet. ACTUALLY, fans think that there could be MORE changes coming to Magic Kingdom, but why? Here’s why fans think this one attraction in Magic Kingdom could be counting its days… Hollywood Studios is getting a MAJOR addition, and construction on the project is in full force. In 2024, Disney announced that Monstropolis would be built in Muppets Courtyard, ultimately causing the area to close in 2025. The Muppets have since moved to Sunset Boulevard and now headline Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, which previously starred Aerosmith. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets Monstropolis will be themed around the popular Pixar movie, Monsters, Inc. The land will allow guests into the Monster World, with Disney sharing that here, “you’ll be able to stroll the streets alongside some of your favorite monsters” and even visit the Laugh Factory! Which leaves fans with a MAJOR question — will Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor make its way to Hollywood Studios? Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor The attraction currently resides in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom, but with all of the construction and reimagining that’s happening in this area of the park, it’s extremely possible that this attraction finds its way to Monstropolis. Inside Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor In the past year alone, two attractions in Tomorrowland have seen changes — Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin closed last year and recently reopened with a new scoring system and targets, hand-held blasters, and a new friend, Buddy! Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress closed at the beginning of July for a MAJOR refurbishment since the attraction was a bit “outdated.” The new attraction will feature scenes of the 1960s, 1980s, the new millennium, and a possible future. The opening scene will also feature a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic. Walls are up! Which leaves guests wondering if the reimagining of Tomorrowland will continue with the removal of Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. Monstropolis has confirmed that there will be new attractions and dining locations coming to the area, including Disney’s first-of-its-kind suspended roller coaster and a new Monsters, Inc. show in the Glob Theater. ©Disney Stitch’s Great Escape has also sat empty since its final performance in 2018, when Disney officially announced its closure in 2020. This leaves guests wondering what will be going there and if it could have anything to do with Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor across the way. Stitch’s Great Escape Building While nothing has officially been announced, we could be hearing more information in August at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, which runs from August 14th to 16th. We have our eyes on the Disney Experiences Showcase on August 15th! We’ll be here covering EVERYTHING that’s announced, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

  22. We all have celebrities that are so beloved that we fear the day when we receive bad news about them growing ill or passing. In fact, if we could, we would put all those beloved stars in a plastic bubble where they could be safe forever ( Van Dyke, we’re looking at you). ©Disney So when a company like Disney posts a photo of an older celebrity that we know and love, Julie Andrews, with a caption that reads “Courage, resilience, grace,” we got VERY upset for a moment before we realized that the announcement is actually about a documentary coming to Disney+ instead. So let’s talk about the documentary. It will be coming to Disney+ in 2027 with an official title announced at a later date (we would totally suggest something like “Julie Andrews: Practically Perfect In Every Way”). The documentary will be directed and produced by R.J. Cutler and will offer an “intimate and revealing look at the legendary actress, singer, and author’s extraordinary journey, from her early days in British vaudeville to her meteoric rise as a global superstar.” Okay, we’re in! ©Julie’s Library The documentary will also feature rare archival footage, as well as new interviews with Andrews. “Julie Andrews is not simply a beloved performer,” Cutler said. “She is a cultural touchstone, a figure woven into the fabric of how generations of people understand joy, resilience, and grace. Most people don’t know the extraordinary challenges she’s had to overcome throughout her life, all of which we delve into in this film. To sit with Julie, to be allowed into her inner world, to watch her reflect on a life that has shaped so many other lives, was an experience I will forever cherish. She gave us her full self, without armor, without pretense. And what we found was someone even more extraordinary than the icon. I am humbled by her talent, in awe of her strength and honored by her trust.” ©Disney We couldn’t agree more, and we’re excited to see her story in the new documentary. We’ll keep an eye out for more details, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

  23. There’s FREE transportation in Disney World, but it can be complicated to navigate! Old Key West Boat Dock With everything from the Monorail and Skyliner to boats and buses, there’s a veritable web of transportation options criss-crossing Disney World. If you’re staying on Disney property, you’ll likely have one or two at your disposal at your resort. But right now, there’s a big transportation change at Old Key West. Disney’s Old Key West Resort is currently not offering the Sassagoula River Cruise to Disney Springs. The boat transportation at that resort is closed for refurbishment as of July 20th through early August. We stopped by the Disney Springs boat dock to see a sign posted notifying guests of the closure. The sign Typically, this dock at Disney Springs offers boat routes to Saratoga Springs Resort, Old Key West Resort, Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. Currently, the other three are still operating, weather-permitting. However, it’s important to note that Disney recently made a change to boat transportation at Disney Springs where you can only board these boats if you have a Disney Resort reservation or a dining reservation. The dock To get to Old Key West from Disney Springs during this closure, your best option is to take the bus from the main bus depot next to Orange Garage and the Coca-Cola store.

  24. Disney World’s hotels have long been known for their perks. From Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours to immersive theming and feature pools, Disney’s resort hotels offer a slew of amenities… which can make it surprising to realize things they DON’T have. ©Disney In fact, a somewhat common hotel room amenity is NOT automatically available in the vast majority of Disney hotel rooms: Microwaves. That’s right, if you were planning to heat up some late-night leftovers or a bag of popcorn in your hotel room, you’re not going to have an automatically included way to do it in most standard Disney World hotel rooms. However, it should be noted that some Disney World properties — namely Disney Vacation Club accommodations and family suites like those at the Art of Animation Resort — do feature microwaves in their kitchenettes. A Microwave in one of the BoardWalk Inn’s Garden Suites That said, if you do find yourself staying in a standard Disney World hotel room without an included microwave, you do have a couple of options. First off, you can request a microwave from your hotel’s front desk. However, availability is not guaranteed. Next, Disney’s hotels also offer communal microwaves for guest use in their quick-service locations or main food service areas. However, they may not be accessible at all hours, and needing to travel from one’s room to heat leftovers to bring them back isn’t all that convenient. The Microwaves at All-Star Movies Speaking of those leftovers, a microwave isn’t the only missing amenity that makes keeping them in a Disney hotel room hard. The majority don’t feature refrigerators. Instead, they’re home to beverage coolers, which are cool enough for drinks but not cold enough to safely store items like medications, breastmilk, formula, and refrigerated food, all of which will spoil. In other words, you likely won’t be able to store your leftovers or easily heat them. Beverage Cooler If you’re planning a Disney World hotel trip anytime soon, be aware of not only the perks included, but also the amenities that aren’t commonly available as well.

  25. Beginning July 24, a brand-new adventure awaits at Disney Adventure World in Disneyland Paris. Created exclusively for the newly transformed second park, the Disney Princess Cavalcade celebrates the adventurous spirit of Moana, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Raya through spectacular floats, two original songs, and vibrant storytelling that can only be experienced at Disneyland Paris. A New Entertainment Experience for Disney Adventure World As the first-ever cavalcade created for Disney Adventure World, this new daytime experience was developed alongside the park’s ambitious transformation and expansion. Imagined specifically for this evolving destination, it adds another layer of immersive entertainment to the growing list of experiences available throughout the park. The adventure will begin in front of what will become the immersive world themed to The Lion King, making its way through Disney Adventure World toward The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge before returning along the same route. Midway through the cavalcade, the procession will transform into an interactive celebration such as dancing with Moana, martial arts with Raya, and alongside them, a lively troupe of performers will invite select guests to learn the choreography. Bringing this production to life was a remarkable creative undertaking. More than 600 creators, artisans, engineers, musicians, and performers contributed to the project, collaborating across everything from float design and fabrication to costume creation, choreography, and music production. Journey Through the Worlds of Four Disney Princesses Four beautifully themed floats serve as the centerpiece of the experience, each inspired by the world and adventurous spirit of a beloved Disney Princess. Designed as colorful “postcards” brought to life, the floats invite audiences to journey from the shores of Motunui with Moana to the lively Snuggly Duckling Tavern alongside Rapunzel, discover the majestic influences of the Heart Palace with Raya, and celebrate the colorful energy of New Orleans with Tiana. Along the way, familiar faces from each story appear throughout the cavalcade. Keep an eye out for Pua and Heihei, Pascal, Ray, and Tuk Tuk, all ready to join the next adventure. Bringing Disney Concept Art Off the Page One of the biggest creative challenges was transforming two-dimensional artwork into fully realized, three-dimensional floats. Instead of recreating scenes directly from the films, the creative team looked to capture the artistic energy of the concept art through hand-painted finishes, expressive textures, and layered visual details. Each float was designed to tell a story from every angle. Bold silhouettes and vibrant colors create a striking visual impact from afar, while intricate patterns, hidden details, and handcrafted elements reveal themselves up close. The result feels as though the worlds of Moana, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Raya have stepped straight from the screen into Disney Adventure World. The Craftsmanship Behind the Magic Every costume, prop, and performance element plays a role in bringing these worlds to life. With 38 performers, four elaborate floats, and 287 hours of rehearsals, the cavalcade showcases an extraordinary level of artistry and collaboration. Designed and produced in France, these original costumes were inspired by the visual identity of each princess’s story, helping create a seamless connection between performers and floats. From the Southeast Asia-inspired silhouettes worn by the performers who join Raya to the handcrafted textures, raffia details, shells, and macramé accents featured alongside Moana, each design was created to reflect the distinctive world of its princess while supporting performer comfort and freedom of movement throughout the seasons. Performers accompanying Rapunzel showcase exaggerated, theatrical costumes inspired by the Snuggly Duckling’s bandits, while Tiana’s troupe blends New Orleans-inspired street style with bayou-inspired patterns, including water lily motifs. The handcrafted props are equally impressive. Moana’s unit features kites made with nearly 400 feet of hand-frayed jute fringe and bamboo-inspired poles crafted from fishing rods. Rapunzel’s troupe incorporates nearly 600 feet of ribbon and 13 individually sculpted ducks inspired by the Snuggly Duckling. Raya’s dragon elements feature 900 individually cut and sewn fabric flames, while Tiana’s performers carry feathered props sculpted and painted entirely by hand. Original Songs Created Exclusively for Disneyland Paris Adventure comes to life through two original songs created specifically for the Disney Princess Cavalcade. Rather than reimagining existing Disney favorites, the production features two all-new songs inspired by courage and optimism. Performed with a contemporary pop sound, the songs combine uplifting melodies, energetic rhythms, and memorable choruses. Around 50 musicians contributed to the soundtrack, with vocals recorded at the Disneyland Paris recording studio and final production completed between Paris and Nashville. One of the songs is performed mostly in French, adding a distinctly local touch, while its catchy melody and easy-to-learn chorus make it simple for audiences from around the world to sing along. An Exclusive Disneyland Paris Experience Filled with handcrafted details, original music, and inspiring storytelling, the Disney Princess Cavalcade is a vibrant new addition to Disney Adventure World and another exciting chapter in the ongoing transformation of Disneyland Paris.

  26. Disney World has plans to expand, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to. Last year, a new document was filed with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District that outlined potential expansion opportunities for the Most Magical Place on Earth over the next 20 years. Cinderella Castle While nothing has been confirmed, both “new minor theme park” and “new major theme park” possibilities were mentioned in the document, which, of course, caused quite an uproar with folks thinking that a fifth Disney World park was on its way. Recently, these documents were updated with additional details clarifying what exactly Disney has planned for the future. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board will meet to discuss the 2045 Comprehensive Plan on July 24th, but the documents have already been updated with additional details. The 2045 Comprehensive Plan outlines the plans and intentions for future development and growth around Walt Disney World, including changes to the theme parks. Animal Kingdom The specific policies that were updated include Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that were required to be amended within one year of the Comprehensive Plan adoption. Essentially, the district has updated the LDRs to now fit the updated Comprehensive Plan. Big Thunder Mountain The proposed amendments to the LDRs associated with updates to the 2045 Comprehensive Plan include updates to development maximums, projected land area to be developed through 2045, development thresholds for water, wastewater, and solid waste, and infrastructure and Levels of Service. Standards are also being adopted for Floating Solar Facilities, which were added as an allowable use in the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. Solar Panel field at Disney World The potential for Floating Solar Facilities is interesting, as Disney has been exploring additional ways to adopt alternative energy sources to power the theme parks. In fact, Disney recently shared that four solar projects can now produce up to 100% of the daytime power needs of the entire resort. That power is spread across four theme parks, two water parks, MANY hotels,  and so much more. ©Disney The documents have not been updated in any meaningful way regarding the potential for Disney World to build additional theme parks. Still, these updates were the next step that was required to fix the Land Development Regulations in the Comprehensive Plan. In previous documents, it was revealed that, “During the next 20 years, the District’s development is expected to occur in those areas identified as suitable in the above analysis. The largest areas of suitable land are located west of Animal Kingdom, between World Drive and I-4, between Osceola Parkway and US 192, around Lake Mable, north of the Magnolia Golf Course, east of the Magic Kingdom parking lot, and west of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.” Main Street, U.S.A. The documents noted other areas that have been “identified as suitable” for development are scattered around Walt Disney World Resort, and each of those sites has less than 100 acres available. The documents continued to share that “Development will also encompass areas deemed marginally suitable and marginally unsuitable as long as extensive (and more costly) improvements are made to meet requirements of the District’s Long Term Permits and Land Development Regulations.” Disney’s Hollywood Studios This essentially tells us where Disney can continue to grow and expand over the next two decades. It also shares that Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios all still have room to expand! Below, you can see the map of locations around the district that are deemed suitable and unsuitable for development. The meeting documents did note that land currently deemed unsuitable can be made suitable through extensive and costly changes. ©CFTOD And, before you get your hopes up, keep in mind that the documents also confirmed that there are no plans for a fifth park for now. They noted, “Although Table 2-1 (Maximum Development 2025- 2045) allows for development of one major and two minor theme parks, there are no plans under review. Approximately 850 acres would be required for these uses.” You can see Figure 2-1 below. ©CFTOD So, while Disney does have the potential for adding a fifth gate, there are no current plans in place to make that happen. The plans specifically mentioned two new minor theme parks for 2035 and a new major one for 2045, but those are lofty goals, so we’ll have to wait and see if any of this actually comes to fruition.

  27. For more than 50 years, Walt Disney World has grown and evolved tremendously across nearly 30,000 acres in Central Florida. In this time, Disney has approached change with the simple yet powerful philosophy to protect the deep connection guests have made with the brand, while creating compelling reasons to return. At a recent media panel, Disney World executives shared how teams across the resort are using this philosophy to reinvest in its classic experiences, combining data, creativity, and operational expertise to elevate the guest experience for future generations while honoring what repeat guests love most. A Resort of This Scale Requires Investment Today, Walt Disney World Resort includes 100+ attractions and experiences across six theme parks and water parks, along with 25+ resort hotels and more than 29,000 hotel rooms — all part of a destination designed to keep guests immersed in Disney stories from arrival to departure. To keep the resort of this size relevant and reliable year-round, Alec Ras, Director of Facility Asset Management, shared that Disney invests hundreds of millions of dollars each year in its existing attractions, resorts and experiences. He explained this investment is carried out by more than 4,000 Cast Members who complete thousands of projects each year. From engineers, architects, and construction managers, to horticulturists, carpenters, and painters, these Cast Members deliver disciplined, and many times invisible, results 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. “Our work includes both big projects, like replacing the entire steel track of Big Thunder Mountain, and small projects, like a simple carpet replacement overnight in a queue space,” Alec said. “Every detail matters to us when tasked with preserving the quality, care and attention to detail guests have come to expect from us.” Keeping The Guest Experience Top of Mind Just like new developments and expansions, these reinvestment projects are planned with the same rigor and long-term thinking. Sarah Riles, Vice President of Magic Kingdom, shared that teams work together to build schedules years into the future. Their goal is to protect the guest experience, preserve capacity across the resort and invest where and when it matters most. Kelly Blakely, Vice President of Resorts Operations, added that resorts face a unique challenge of completing these projects all while guests are present 24 hours a day. “Our resorts are a home away from home for many of our guests,” Kelly said. “It is really important to me that our guests know that they are going to get those comforts of home when they come and experience our resorts.” Her team looks for creative solutions to minimize the guest impact when projects are in progress, including taking that rigorous planning even further with phased closures — like at the recently refurbished Disney’s Pop Century Resort — where they were able to maintain the overall experience while just one piece of a resort is temporarily unavailable. Disney’s Hollywood Studios took a similar approach when Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster recently went through its Muppets makeover. The teams responsible for the project kept the attraction open longer by closing the attraction in phases — first the preshow, where there would be more technical changes, then the ride itself. The result was an impressively short 3-month downtime. Sarah concluded that a great example of being creative to get the work done on schedule but with minimal guest impact was the recent transformation of Cinderella Castle. “While most of the work was completed overnight, we had to keep those high reaches and lifts up through morning. But by noon every day, we took them down so if you were in the Castle hub or on Main Street U.S.A., you’d still get that picture perfect view.” She also praised the Disney PhotoPass team for creating a new AI model that removed the cranes from photos captured in the morning, providing another option for guests. Balancing Nostalgia and Progress It wasn’t lost on any of the executives on the panel that some Disney fans can be skeptical of change, especially when these attractions and resorts are woven into the very core of their childhood memories. Michael Hundgen, Portfolio Executive Creative Producer for Walt Disney Imagineering, shared that “we try to be incredibly aware and thoughtful of that when we make changes.” Michael explained that with each reinvestment project comes the task to balance nostalgia with modern appeal. His team is focused on preserving the classic spirit of a resort or attraction while ensuring these experiences continue to feel relevant, meaningful and ready for future families to fall in love with them. Sarah added that a lot of thoughtful research goes into the decision to update attractions, as well. “We use data, guest research and feedback to really help inform where we choose to reinvest versus when it is time to reconcept,” Sarah Riles, Vice President of Magic Kingdom, said. Sarah went on to describe just how powerful these reinvestments can be, sharing that Country Bear Musical Jamboree, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad have all seen notable improvements in Disney guest satisfaction scores after their respective reopenings. Kelly mentioned the same success has been found when refurbishing rooms and common areas at resorts like Pop Century, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Port Orleans – Riverside and Bay Lake Tower. More Reinvestment Projects On The Horizon More reinvestment projects are on the horizon including updates coming to Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress in 2027. In addition to the Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure first revealed at Destination D23 in 2025, Michael shared that Imagineers will also be updating all the attraction scenes to new time periods — including the 1960s, 1980s and The New Millennium — where guests will get to see what John, Sarah, and the rest of the family are up to as they navigate ever-changing technology in new decades. This upcoming work marks the fourth major refurbishment of the attraction since 1964. “Know that when we touch a classic like Carousel of Progress, our Imagineers take the utmost care in thinking about how we approach that,” Michael said. “The team on this project is phenomenal. They care a lot about the legacy of the attraction and plan on infusing some great new optimism into it for future generations to enjoy.” Kelly and Michael also teased that more is to come at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Boardwalk, as well. Revealed on the Disney Parks Blog after the event, the work at Disney’s BoardWalk is underway and with some new additions set to open in late 2026, including a new lounge, Hurly-Burly, that will welcome guests for fun-filled afternoons and glamorous evenings inside a historic seaside theatre with a vibrant BoardWalk story that spans over a century, and Basin on the BoardWalk, offering a sensory shopping experience that feels both timeless and distinctly new. There’s even more to come, with a new quick-service restaurant also coming soon to Disney’s BoardWalk. “I think we should always be held accountable to a standard that is, ‘if you’re going to touch something that is beloved, then you must leave it better than you found it.’” Michael said.
