Out in California, the D23 Expo is HOPPIN’! The D23 Expo Is Here! What’s the D23 Expo? Why, it’s just one of the biggest Disney fan events there is! Throughout the weekend, Disney hosts a variety of panels to announce big news, exhibits to show off iconic memorabilia, and all kinds of other events and entertainment that the biggest fans are hoping to check out. One big part of the Expo is the unique merchandise that you can buy there…and now we’re already starting to see some of it pop up in Disney World! The Expo isn’t even over yet, but we spotted TWO new items from the D23 Expo showroom at EPCOT today. First up, we’ve got this adorable Mad Hatter Tea Party Mug! How precious is this?! The little dome lid can be removed and features the Mad Hatter surrounded by teacups and a large kettle. Definitely a conversation piece for your next tea party! It’s available currently for $27.99. We love it! Along with it, we also spotted this fun Dumbo mug that was seen at the D23 Expo! It’s made to look just like our favorite elephant, and his trunk forms the handle. Dumbo Mug They even added his oversized ears on the sides! This is a must-have for Dumbo fans, and it’s priced at $24.99. You can get either of these mugs at the Creations Shop in EPCOT. Look at those ears! We’ll be on the lookout for more D23 merchandise in the stores at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort soon, so stay tuned!

It’s been a BIG week for Disney announcements! Magic Kingdom We got to hear about new and exciting details for upcoming projects on Disney+ Day, and we’re running from panel to panel to get the latest news on all things Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. But now, we’re back in Disney World to check out all the latest construction updates — so let’s get to it! Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World Railroad Construction is chuggin’ along over at the Walt Disney World Railroad, which has now been closed for over three years. We recently saw some scaffolding covered in green scrim near the Fantasyland Station. Train tracks construction Cast Members have been working on replacing the tracks in multiple areas around the park, and here you can see a close-up of that progress. Close-up view We can’t wait for construction to finally be completed on the Walt Disney World Railroad so that we can ride it around Magic Kingdom again! Stay tuned for updates. TRON: Lightcycle Run We got to see quite a bit of vehicle testing over at TRON: Lightcycle Run last week, which hopefully means that we’re getting closer and closer to an opening date! Looks like a puzzle down there This week, we saw more concrete shapes being poured on the ground and are looking forward to seeing what this area will look like when it all comes together! Check Out the Latest TRON Update Here EPCOT Cool Wash Last week, we reported that the infamous Disney World construction shrubs had popped up out in front of Cool Wash, but we weren’t sure what was going on. The Cool Wash sign is gone! But now, the Cool Wash sign has been removed! We’ll keep an eye out for more progress over here and will let you know if we have any more updates. Journey of Water – Inspired by Moana Look at this detail!!!!!!! We can finally see a close-up (kind of) of the progress over at Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. Working on the details We can see some of the design elements featured in the concept art, and it looks like things are started to progress quickly! Check Out the Latest Journey of Water Update Here Disney’s Hollywood Studios Woody’s Roundup Rodeo BBQ We haven’t seen much of an update at this future table service restaurant, but some of the concept art was recently removed from this green construction fence at Woody’s Roundup Rodeo BBQ entrance. Not much has changed. But, you can see a peek behind that green scrim here, although we have to say it isn’t THAT much more interesting. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for progress on this upcoming spot, so be sure to stay tuned for more. See the Latest Rodeo Roundup Updates Here Disney’s Animal Kingdom Dinosaur The construction shrubs are still in place out in front of the entrance to Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom. This area was recently refurbished, but now it looks like more work is being done. Where’d he go? Have no fear, though (or maybe have a lot of it depending on how you feel about this attraction) because Dinosaur is still open for guests to ride! Disney Resorts Polynesian Village Resort Construction is underway over where the Spirit of Aloha Luau theatre used to be at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The area was demolished to make way for a brand new building that will house guest rooms, dining locations, and merchandise stores. For now, the area is a giant pile of dirt, so here’s a rendering of Disney’s concept art for the building instead! ©Disney | Polynesian Village Resort concept art Kona Café at the Polynesian is closed right now as well — Disney is refurbishing the restaurant for future enjoyment. We’re not sure what all that entails, but we can’t wait to find out! In the meantime, consider dining at ‘Ohana, Capt. Cook’s, or stop by and grab a drink at Trader Sam’s or Tambu Lounge! Kona Cafe construction Those are all the construction updates we have for you this time around. Chances are that things will be even more different on our next visit, so be sure to stick around for the latest updates and more news!

Ultimately, Asha’s wish puts her up against one of the most formidable foes in Disney history. When Asha sees a darkness that no one else does, in a moment of separation she makes a plea to the stars for help. Asha The power of her wish calls down an actual star from the sky. That brings us to the character of Star! Star is the answer to Asha’s wish! And while Star is a cosmic force made of things like possibility, imagination, and hope, Star is also a source of boundless energy and is a beacon of chaos. Star To make things more complicated, Star only speaks through pantomime (because Star is far too evolved for speech). Star The movie will be a musical with a watercolor style. It’ll be made of 3D animation but will take inspiration from classic Disney movies. And it will reportedly have more easter eggs than movies that came before! Part of the Location Where the Movie Takes Place Julia Michaels is working on the soundtrack. How Exciting And Ariana DeBose will be Asha.
