The situation with COVID-19 has continued to change and develop over the past several months. Disney World Health and Safety Signage | Prior to Recent Mask and Distancing Changes We’ve been keeping an eye out for updates on mask guidance, COVID-19 case rates in Florida, and more. And now we’ve got an update about COVID-19 and potential impacts the treatment of those with COVID-19 may have on the water supply in Orlando. According to Fox 35 Orlando, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) held a news conference on Friday regarding water consumption and the impacts of COVID-19. During the conference, Mayor Dyer discussed the high number of unvaccinated, critically ill patients being treated at hospitals and shared that many of them require liquid oxygen as part of their treatment. Dyer noted that liquid oxygen is also typically used by OUC to treat the water supply. According to Dyer, the demand for liquid oxygen is high nationally and locally, and the priority is to use it to treat critically ill patients. As a result of the high demand, there are impacts to the supply of liquid oxygen OUC typically receives. Health & Safety Reminders The OUC also shared this information on their page and noted that a regional shortage of liquid oxygen linked to the surge of COVID-19 inpatient treatments is impacting their treated water supplies. Mayor Dyer noted that there could be impacts to water quality if the local community doesn’t immediately reduce the amount of water that they need to treat, because of the more limited supply of liquid oxygen. Mayor Dyer said that at this point they believe that if the community takes these immediate actions they will be able to mitigate the impacts on their water supply. According to Fox 35 News, officials have indicated that water treatment could hit a critical point in a week if water consumption doesn’t change, at which point a boil water notice could potentially be put in place. Health and Safety Reminders Sign The OUC website notes that if the OUC’s liquid oxygen supplies continue to be depleted and water usage isn’t reduced, water quality could be impacted. But, they believe that won’t happen if everyone does their part to conserve water. ©OUC The OUC has indicated that lawn and landscaping irrigation accounts for 40% of the water use in Central Florida. Mayor Dyer said they are asking residents to help by temporarily limiting the watering of their lawns and washing their cars, and businesses should limit irrigation and pressure washing. In terms of other ways to help, the OUC website has shared the following information. ©OUC We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates on this situation.

You know how some weeks it feels like not that much happens, and other weeks it feels like a THOUSAND news stories all got released at once? Well, this week was definitely the latter type. Magic Kingdom In the past few days alone we’ve learned that PAID FastPass systems are coming to Disney World and Disneyland, tons of spots have reopened or are reopening soon, and much more. Are you ready to dive into the biggest news stories from this week? Buckle up, and hold onto them hats and glasses ’cause this here’s the wildest news ride on the internet! 1 — Paid FastPass Services Coming to Disney World and Disneyland This week Disney announced some BIG news regarding FastPass. First, FastPass+, FASTPASS, and MaxPass are all being retired and will not return to Disney World or Disneyland. In their place will be not 1 but 2 NEW paid FastPass-like options called Disney Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection. With Genie+, you’ll pay a set amount per ticket per day to select the next available return time to use an attraction’s “Lightning Lane” (essentially the FastPass lane). You’ll be able to do this for various attractions, 1 attraction at a time throughout the day. It’s sort-of like being able to make a single FastPass selection at a time like you did in the old days. ©Disney With Individual Attraction Selection, you’ll be able to pay a certain amount to schedule a return time to use a SINGLE, highly popular attraction’s Lightning Lane. This week Disney also gave some major updates about the Disney Genie, which is a FREE, trip planning service that’ll create customized itineraries for you, show you forecasted wait times for your favorite attractions, and otherwise help you optimize your day in the parks. ©Disney There’s a LOT to break down here and it can get confusing.

Disney World will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in all kinds of special ways this year! Disney Enchantment ©Disney There will be golden statues spread throughout the parks, new dining experiences, a new kite show in Animal Kingdom, special transformations coming to the parks’ icons, and more. One of the things Disney announced earlier this year is that (as part of the celebrations) Magic Kingdom will be getting a brand NEW fireworks show called Disney Enchantment. And today Disney shared a whole bunch of details about what guests will see when this new show debuts! Disney Enchantment is a brand NEW fireworks show that will debut in Magic Kingdom on October 1st of this year. The show is said to take guests “on a journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment,” inspiring everyone to believe in magic. It will feature music, special lighting, fireworks (of course), and immersive projection effects that (for the first time) will extend all the way down Main Street, U.S.A. Magic Kingdom Today, Disney shared more details about the show. During Disney Enchantment, guests will actually get to hear a NEW, original song called “You Are the Magic,” which was created by GRAMMY-winner Philip Lawrence. When talking about Disney Enchantment, Mark Renfrow, a Show Director with Disney Live Entertainment said “the best is yet to come! I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’re creating with ‘Disney Enchantment.'” In new concept art shared for the show, we can see special lighting (and potentially projections) on Main Street, U.S.A. and the castle, as well as some very colorful fireworks in the sky. ©Disney During Disney Enchantment, guests will get to join a whole bunch of Disney dreamers like “Tiana, Miguel, Rapunzel, and brothers Ian & Barley from Onward.” We’ll also get to “set out on an incredible journey” with characters like Moana, Raya, and Judy Hopps. Ready to go into “the zone” with Joe Gardner from Soul? Seems like you’ll get to do that too! And Disney has shared that when you go in “the zone,” you’ll discover “a whimsical world inspired by the style of legendary Disney artist Mary Blair.” This “whimsical world” will feature characters from classic and new Disney films including Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, Luca, and even Wreck-It Ralph. Disney has noted that the show will feature characters, moments, and music from dozens of both Disney and Pixar animated films. ©Disney Disney shares that this will all build to a climactic moment where the one and only Tinker Bell will take flight! And as she does, she’ll spread shimmering gold pixie dust and empower guests to “believe in [them]selves and the magic all around [them].” According to Disney the show will take us “beyond the ordinary to a land of magic, where we’re swept up in a world of wonder filled with friendship, love and fun. Through it all, we’ll discover we only have to look within to find the power to believe and make dreams come true, because the magic was inside us all along!” Happily Ever After Fireworks Sounds like there will be a whole bunch of characters, music, and more to enjoy in this show. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more details about Disney Enchantment and we’ll let you know what we find!

We got a LOT of news this week on what we can expect for the fall in Disney World. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure From changes to the mask rules to Disney Genie, it’s been a LOT to follow. One detail you might have missed is that Disney confirmed that the upcoming Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride in EPCOT WILL use a Virtual Queue when it opens, but how will it work? Disney told Cast Members a little bit more about how the Virtual Queue process will work for the new ride. We’re familiar with the system as we’ve seen it on Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the process isn’t changing for Remy’s! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Guests with valid park admission and an EPCOT Disney Park Pass will be able to access the Virtual Queue system via the My Disney Experience app beginning at 7AM on the day of their reservation. This can be done from anywhere as long as you have that reservation. ©Disney If you are unable to get a Boarding Group at 7AM, you’ll have another chance when the second Boarding Group window opens at 1PM. The 1PM window can only be accessed AFTER you have entered EPCOT for the day. It’s REMY! Remember, guests MUST start their day in EPCOT to access Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure this way. If you have another Disney Park Pass reservation, you will not be able to access the Virtual Queue. Hi, Little Chef! As you might know, this process is EXACTLY the same for Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It may be difficult to grab a Boarding Group for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, so stay tuned to DFB for tips and tricks as we get closer to the opening.

A few Disney restaurants are taking a BIG step back to normal! The Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom Today, Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge became the first buffet to open in Disney World since the parks closed last year. Other restaurants that used to be buffets have been using family-style service, but that’s about to change!

The building is BEAUTIFUL and, in the past, it has been a great spot to meet friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Have you had POG juice at Disney World before? POG at the Barefoot Pool Bar It’s made of Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava juices all mixed together to create a delicious, fruity drink. We usually find POG Juice (sometimes also referred to as Jungle Juice or potentially by other names) in places like Dawa Bar and Tusker House Restaurant in Animal Kingdom and ‘Ohana and Kona Café in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. But lately, we’ve been seeing some things with POG Juice have been changing! And many readers have been reaching out with concerns! So what’s really going on with this delicious drink? We’ve been checking with various spots all around Disney World to find out what’s going on with POG Juice. Recently, we stopped by some of our favorite spots in Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and the Polynesian to see if they still have any of this tasty drink available. Dawa Bar entrance At Dawa Bar and Tusker House in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, POG is typically called “Jungle Juice.” When we stopped by both spots today (August 20th), a Cast Member told us that Jungle Juice was currently unavailable due to a supply issue. They mentioned that they’re not sure if or when it will return to these spots. This is a big change from back in mid-June where we got POG Juice with our breakfast at Tusker House. And it’s a big change even from more recently. As recently as this past Wednesday, we stopped by Dawa Bar and they still had POG Juice available. But, now it seems things have changed. This stuff is SO good Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, we stopped by the newly reopened Boma. There, the Cast Member told us that they did NOT have POG Juice available. Based on our understanding, Disney typically obtains POG Juice from a supplier, and it seems there have been some issues in obtaining it recently. Next, We stopped by The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge. They also did NOT have POG/Jungle Juice. The Cast Member there said that they may have it when the hotel fully reopens next week. The Mara This is truly an interesting situation because just yesterday (August 19th), we had stopped by Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in search of POG Juice. At that resort, we were able to actually able to grab a cocktail from Barefoot Pool Bar that contains POG Juice — the Niue Rita. The drink is made with Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila with Cointreau and lime, orange, guava, and passionfruit. The Cast Member there said that Barefoot still had POG Juice available and was able to utilize it in making this cocktail. POG cocktail at the Barefoot Pool Bar Based on our conversations with Cast Members at the Polynesian as recently as yesterday (August 19th), Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, Tambu Lounge, and ‘Ohana, all still had POG juice available, but note that it may ONLY be available as part of a cocktail. When we went to Tambu Lounge, the Cast Member there specifically told us it could not be purchased on its own — it had to be part of a cocktail drink. Also, at Kona Café, non-alcoholic POG was still listed on the menu, called Liliko’i Juice. However, a Cast Member told us it was unavailable at that time. Absolutely delicious and iconic — POG Juice Was Served when the Polynesian Reopened We’ve also seen POG juice as part of the Pioneer Mimosa at Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, which we had recently when we ate there in July. It’s still listed on the Trial’s End menu online for now, but you’ll definitely want to ask and double-check if it’s available during your visit. The Pioneer Mimosa In general, it seems things are in flux with POG Juice around Disney World. Some Cast Members have told us there are supply issues and it may not be available for a while, but a few places were still serving it recently though it may only be part of a cocktail. So, if you’re heading to Disney World soon keep in mind that some spots that typically serve up POG/Jungle Juice might have this drink available while others may not. Craving some POG Juice right now? No worries! You can make it on your own this recipe! Click here for the POG Juice recipe.

If you’re heading to Disney World this next week, you’ll want to keep an eye on construction and updates going on around the parks. Construction walls in Frontierland We’re here to let you know what’s scheduled to be closed for refurbishment in the parks and Disney World hotels! This summer, we’ve seen updates happening at rides around Magic Kingdom, and it’s still the only park with any scheduled closures this next week. Let’s take a look at what you can expect to be closed here. Magic Kingdom In the Magic Kingdom, the Walt Disney World Railroad is still closed, including all the stations around the park. Fantasyland Station Construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run has interrupted the train tracks in Tomorrowland, so we’re not expecting the railroad to reopen until that construction is finished. But the good news is that the Main Street Train Station is finished with its updates and looking better than ever! She’s back to her normal beauty! We saw construction tarps around the station for a while, but they’re all gone now, and we’re lovin’ this view. Past the station, on Main Street, U.S.A., there’s a bit more construction going on. The Main Street Confectionery is still closed for refurbishment. Construction Walls in Magic Kingdom There are updates coming to the interior of this candy shop, and it’s scheduled to be closed at least through mid-October, according to Disney’s refurbishment calendar. Construction Walls There’s one more attraction in the Magic Kingdom that’s going to be unavailable this coming week: the Liberty Square Riverboat. Liberty Square Riverboat The Riverboat is only scheduled to be closed through August 31st of this year, so it’s likely routine maintenance and cleaning for the boat. At least, we’re hoping the Rivers of America isn’t completely drained again like last year! The Liberty Belle That’s it for the Magic Kingdom refurbishments this week. Now let’s check out what’s going on at all the Disney World hotels. Disney World Hotel Refurbishments There are several repeat offenders on this list, because a few Disney hotels have some long-term projects going on. One of the biggest is happening at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, near the Magic Kingdom. Disney’s Contemporary Resort At the contemporary, the guest rooms and first floor lobby are undergoing big updates. For the guest rooms, they’re getting a new Incredibles theme! Incredibles Room ©Disney Although construction timelines are usually tentative at best, Disney stated previously that the new rooms are expected to open this fall. We’ll let you know if they update that timeline! The lobby is also closed, so the check-in and concierge will be located on the second floor now through late September of this year. The lobby at Disney’s Contemporary Resort The Wave…of American Flavors restaurant located in the Contemporary is going through its own makeover, so it is unavailable at its normal location. However, you can still get the delicious Wave breakfast — with a new, amazing view! — at the California Grill restaurant upstairs! Having the Wave Breakfast at California Grill Now that we’ve seen all the projects at the Contemporary, let’s hop on the monorail to check out another Magic Kingdom-area resort with some construction going on — Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort The room updates are complete over at the Polynesian, and now all that’s left is the Monorail station. The station is still undergoing refurbishments, so you can’t board the Monorail here yet. The Monorails are, however, traveling through this station, so we got a little glimpse of what’s happening here! Tarps are DOWN at the Monorail station at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort We’ll let you know as soon as we have any info about the station’s reopening at Polynesian. All Star Movies Over at Disney’s All Star Movies Resort, there are some lobby updates happening. The check-in area is scheduled to have some construction going on through October of this year. All Star Movies As a reminder, you can use the My Disney Experience app to check in and go directly to your room when you arrive. Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Old Key West Resort Both Saratoga Springs and Old Key West are also having some work done on their lobby and check-in areas. Old Key West Lobby Signs and Cast Members will direct you to new locations for checking in, but you can also use the My Disney Experience app to go straight to your room when you arrive. Saratoga Springs Lobby The lobby at Saratoga Springs is expected to be getting updates through late October of this year. The Old Key West lobby construction is scheduled through late September. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge This one isn’t a refurbishment, but it’s still very exciting! The Animal Kingdom Lodge and Animal Kingdom Villas are reopening this coming week, on Thursday August 26th.

Feedback to the FastPass+ system’s replacement has been mixed among guests and industry experts alike. Some praised Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane for helping streamline park wait times, while others expressed concern over the increasing costs. View the full article Disney Lightning Lane: ‘Another way for the super-rich to jump the line,’ guest complains A family mugs for pictures as visitors crowd Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World on Wednesday, August 18, 2021. Disney posted a rebound in third-quarter earnings as guests returned to its Florida theme parks. (Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel) (Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel) Leaving the Magic Kingdom on Thursday, Massachusetts residents Sarah Smith and Liz Libby weren’t happy about the news that Disney World will soon be charging guests to reserve a time on rides. “My immediate reaction was like, ‘Oh cool, another way for the super-rich to jump the line,’” Libby said. “... It’s such a big deal to come and spend all this money, and I think without all the perks and having to pay extra, it feels like getting nickeled and dimed. It makes Disney a less attractive vacation destination.” Along with the announcement Wednesday of Disney Genie, a free planning service launching on the resort’s app this fall, Disney revealed it was retiring its free FastPass+ and replacing it with a paid service called Lightning Lane. Though Libby’s opinion was among the more visceral, feedback to the FastPass+ system’s replacement has been mixed among guests and industry experts alike. Some praised Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane for helping streamline park wait times, while others expressed concern over the increasing costs. Through Disney Genie+, Lightning Lane’s base option will cost guests $15 per day. It was modeled after Disneyland’s former MaxPass system, which was popular with guests who liked its flexibility, Disney said during Disney Genie+’s announcement. Disney Genie and its paid tier were shaped with guest feedback in mind, according to the company. With the cost of an adult single-day, one-park ticket already reaching as much as $159 during peak times, some Disney fans say they feel burnt out on paying more for experiences they used to get for less — or free. Libby plans to visit Disney World again with her three children in February and would likely pay for Disney Genie+ to avoid the lines, she said. But the additional cost, alongside other recent cutbacks at the resort, are making her rethink future trips. Smith, who said she is a member of many Disney fan groups, said other fans are not happy with the change and see it as the latest example of the resort reducing benefits but increasing prices. “There’s gonna come a point where the loyal Disney fans stop coming,” Smith said. An industry standard Theme park industry insiders say they expected Disney World’s pivot to a paid line skipping system, which is already in place at other Orlando theme parks and established at other Disney parks worldwide. Lightning Lane will be available in two forms through Disney Genie+. The $15 per day base price allows guests to reserve one ride reservation at a time across 40+ attractions. For an additional fee per ride, guests can reserve spots on up to two of the park’s most popular attractions, like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. While Disney has not released general price ranges yet for these “a la carte” Lightning Lane options, Len Testa, who runs the vacation planning website Touring Plans, said Disneyland Paris’ Disney Premier Access program prices may be comparable at roughly $9 to $18 per ride. The pay-per-ride system hearkens back to Disney parks’ original model, in which guests would pay an entrance fee and receive a ticket book for ride entrance with different tiers of rides priced accordingly. That model was made obsolete by people wanting to pay one bundled price, said Dennis Speigel, who runs International Theme Park Services in Cincinnati. Testa questions whether Lightning Lane’s pricing for individual attractions will fluctuate throughout the day during busier times. Regardless, it will be an adjustment for guests, he said. “[Disney] ran free FastPasses for more than 20 years, so there’s an entire generation of people who have grown up with free FastPasses. Now you’re telling them to spend more money on it,” he said. “... This may be the bridge too far for Disney. We’ll see.” Speigel praised the Disney Genie and Lightning Lane programs for their potential to maximize guests’ time in the parks. “What they’ve done here is they’ve really raised the bar for the industry in terms of satisfying guests’ ability to participate in their selections, in their movements, through and about the park,” he said. Disney Genie+ and the Lightning Lane system also “level the playing field” between savvy guests and more casual visitors who had to compete to reserve FastPass+ time slots weeks out from their trips, he said. With ride windows available throughout the day and Disney Genie+’s adaptation with the flow of visitors to the park, guests have more opportunities to shape their trips, Speigel said. “Once people understand the gearing of it, get over the newness, and they see how it helps them have a better experience and flattens the waiting times and curves, I really think it’s going to be well-received,” he said. As a Disney fan, Smith said she recognizes the potential for Disney Genie+ to help the “not hardcore fans” visiting the parks plan their trips more fairly, but it is still disappointing for those who learned to navigate the old system. “For people who know the parks well and who were able to use the FastPass system really effectively and who know how to do Disney, I think this is a bummer,” Smith said. Testa said he sees the new program as Disney shifting its focus on wait times from guests to revenue. “Instead of Disney worrying about how waits in line affect guest satisfaction, they’re wondering how waits in line can make them money, specifically by having guests pay to not wait in line,” he said. The paid reservation system is a smart revenue choice for Disney because guests will spend more money in the parks as they move more efficiently through them, Speigel said. “People don’t mind paying for it, as long as they’re getting price value,” he said. Guest reactions vary Other visitors to Disney World on Thursday had differing opinions about the changes. First-time visitors Kiseem Phillips and Monique Denton, visiting the Magic Kingdom from New York with 4-year-old son Kamari, were not using the current My Disney Experience app to plan their visit but said they would consider using Disney Genie’s free and paid features during a future trip. “It sounds pretty cool, I mean if it reduces the wait time,” Phillips said. “It’s hot, I know the lines are probably long, so it’d be good to have a reservation and just get right on.” Exploring the park with “an app and a map” with grandchildren Saphira and Braydan Coble, North Carolina residents Tim and Teresea Miller said they would “absolutely” use Disney Genie’s free customization features during a future trip but would be more hesitant to use Disney Genie+. “Most of our waits have been 10, 15 minutes, so I don’t know that I’d want to pay that,” Tim Miller said. Local passholder Karen O’Reilly said she would consider paying for Lightning Lane if she had relatives visiting or to occasionally board a hard-to-reserve ride like Rise of the Resistance but would not use it regularly. “You pay enough for the tickets to begin with,” O’Reilly said.
