We’ve been curious about the construction walls in EPCOT for a while now! Construction Walls in EPCOT Well, really we’re more curious about what’s going on behind those walls…but we’ve also noticed that they’re starting a color trend in the park! Now, there’s more around EPCOT that’s keeping that trend going! If you look at the walls in EPCOT’s Future World closely, you’ll notice that on one side of the park (near the Land area and the Seas with Nemo and Friends ride) they’re painted with lines in shades of blue and green. EPCOT Entrance Behind Construction Walls On the other side (by Test Track and Mission: Space), there are shades of red and purple! More WALLS Recently, we spotted some brightly colored trash cans that match the theme! On the blue and green side, there were new bright green trash cans! New Trash Cans in EPCOT Here’s a photo of some by their color-coordinated wall! You can see the blue trash cans over closer to the wall as well! Matching! When we headed over towards Mission: Space, we found the coral-colored counterparts! Coral Trash Can We can get behind color-coordinating the Disney parks! But when the walls come down, what are the trash cans going to match? Maybe we can expect to see more coordination in other areas in the park? Keep following DFB for more updates on the Disney parks!

Happily Ever After is a fan-favorite fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom! Using a complex series of effects, projections, and fireworks, it’s a riveting and beautiful way to end your day at Disney World! Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom Since the show is going away forever this September, we’re soaking in as much of this show as possible! Usually, we’re enjoying the show on the ground or in the comfort of a nearby hotel room. However, last night, we caught a glimpse of the show from a new angle! Recently, Attractions Magazine posted a clip of the Happily Ever After fireworks show from above on their Instagram. This is definitely a different angle than we’re used to (except for when we ride Soarin’!) so it was cool to see the fireworks show from above!

When Buffalo Bills and former University of Central Florida wide receiver Gabriel Davis was a kid, he didn’t always have the clothes or supplies he needed for going back to school. Now that he’s achieved his dreams of becoming an NFL player, Davis is giving back to his community in meaningful ways. This year, he’s partnered with other football players and Walt Disney World Resort to provide back-to-school backpacks to kids at the Walt Disney World Clubhouse of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/PEews2UPkZUView the full article

We’re excited about many of the new projects coming to Disney World soon, but if there’s one that intrigues us the most, it would probably be the new Star Wars Hotel! The Halcyon Model Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is set to open in 2022 and it’s unlike any other Disney Resort. It’ll be similar to a cruise ship experience, where guests are “onboard” for two days. However, there are also many interactive elements of your stay — and today we got a fresh look into what it’s going to be like! This afternoon, Disney released the new poster for the resort and shared a very in-depth look at all the elements of the concept art! There’s a lot to unpack here, and some of it gives a bit more information on what we can expect on the Halcyon. (That’s the ship’s name!) ©Disney Let’s start by looking at the four characters in the middle of the poster. Each is participating in their own tasks and seems to have their own goals, just like guests the guests will while staying at the Galactic Starcruiser. Whether you choose to join the First Order, train like a Jedi, or go rogue, you’ll get to make your own decisions as a traveler and write your own story throughout your visit. Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Atmosphere ©Disney Next, you may want to note that Kylo Ren and Chewbacca appear at the top of the poster. Looks like we’ll be seeing some fan-favorite characters on our voyage! And with both the First Order and the Resistance present, we have a feeling there’s going to be a showdown. Kylo Ren is seriously intimidating. In the middle is an R-series astromech droid, similar to R2-D2. However, this guy doesn’t look like any other droid we’ve seen before! To put it in Disney’s words, it looks like he’s got a few extra “bells and whistles.” Will we encounter this droid onboard? Will we get to build one like it? We’ll have to wait and find out! We’re wondering what the droid is all about! The bottom left corner shows a photo of a family eating a meal in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room, the ship’s premier restaurant. The food they’re munching on seems to be pretty unusual, which is nothing less than we’d expect from a starship! We’re excited to get a peek at the menus, maybe we’ll get more “space food” like in Galaxy’s Edge. Concept Art for the Crown of Corellia Dining Room ©Disney And finally, in the bottom right corner of the poster is a passenger wielding a lightsaber. We’ve already been told that we’ll be able to participate in lightsaber training on the ship, but now Disney has noted that “as part of your experience, you’ll face off with a training remote similar to how Luke Skywalker once did and learn the lightsaber’s ancient ways.” Training like Luke Skywalker? This gets cooler and cooler! Lightsaber Experience Aboard the Halcyon ©Disney We’re expecting more information on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser very soon. Disney plans to share interviews with Imagineers and lots of details on what guests can expect to find onboard. We’ll be on close watch, and we’ll pass along all the updates as soon as we get them!

There are several exciting new additions coming to Walt Disney World soon! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Concept Art ©Disney We’re currently waiting on more details and opening date announcements for big projects like the new Tron Coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and the rest of the EPCOT Transformation. On top of those, Disney World is building the very first Star Wars hotel, and today we got the promotional poster with some bonus details! Today, Disney shared this new poster, and it has quite a few interesting things to note! The four figures in the center of the poster represent the guests on the ship as each person chooses their own story. If you want to help out the first order, train as a Jedi, or live like an important member of galactic society? You can select your own path onboard the Halcyon! ©Disney You’ll also notice nods to other important features of the Galactic Starcruiser. There’s a high-tech R-series astromech droid, a group of guests in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room, and images of Kylo Ren and Chewbacca. But perhaps most exciting of all is the guest wielding the lightsaber in the bottom right corner. Disney noted that “as part of your experience, you’ll face off with a training remote similar to how Luke Skywalker once did and learn the lightsaber’s ancient ways.” Lightsaber Experience Aboard the Halcyon ©Disney But is this poster not quite enough excitement for you? Well, then just you wait — Disney also shared that they plan to release WAY more details on all of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser soon. They’ll be discussing specific aspects of the resort experience and interviewing Imagineers connected to the project. In fact, they said that it will be the “most in-depth discussion of this incredible new experience Walt Disney Imagineering has ever given publicly.” Crown of Corellia Dining Room Concept Art – Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser ©Disney It sounds like the next series of announcements is going to be a very big deal!

You’ll soon be able to nom on a treat called The Back Side of Water at Sunshine Tree Terrace at Magic Kingdom. “The backside of water!” The snack is made with Cotton Candy and Vanilla Soft-serve, Sprite, and a Sour Belt. ©Disney That doesn’t sound as quite as awesome as the Dole Whip Sundae in the Jungle Cruise boat that Disneyland got, though. That treat looked like this: This is AWESOME. The Back Side of Water, which will cost $6.29, isn’t available JUST yet, but we spoke with a Cast Member who told us that it’s expected to be available on Sunday.

More live entertainment will return to three of Walt Disney World’s theme parks in August, including the "Beauty and the Beast" show View the full article By DEWAYNE BEVIL ORLANDO SENTINEL | JUL 21, 2021 AT 2:17 PM More live entertainment is set to return to three of Walt Disney World’s theme parks in August, the company announced Wednesday afternoon. These productions have been dark since the resort shut down in March 2020 for the coronavirus pandemic, and they did not return when the parks reopened last summer. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, “Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage” returns to the park’s Theater of the Stars on Aug. 15. (The musical was briefly replaced by live musicians and appearances by costumed characters.) Before that, “Wonderful World of Animation,” an end-of-night show featuring projections onto the Chinese Theater, will be produced again as of Aug. 1. At Magic Kingdom, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor returns Aug. 8. At Epcot, Turtle Talk with Crush, a back-and-forth encounter with the “Finding Nemo” character, returns Aug. 21. THE DAILY DISNEY Disney: What we saw (and didn’t) at revived ‘Lion King’ show MAY 11, 2021 AT 12:01 PM “A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King” has been seen at Disney’s Animal Kingdom since mid-May. Among the live entertainment and attractions not yet available are the Festival of Fantasy parade, “Enchanted Tales With Belle,” “Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire” and Citizens of Main Street at Magic Kingdom; Voyage of the Little Mermaid, “Fantasmic!” and Citizens of Hollywood at Hollywood Studios; and “Finding Nemo — The Musical” at Animal Kingdom. “Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue,” a dinner-theater option at Fort Wilderness, is not currently being produced. Several stores and eateries remain inactive across Disney World property. A few hotels are not open, and Typhoon Lagoon water park is not available to guests. Disney also confirmed the final days for two fireworks shows. “Epcot Forever” bows out Sept. 28, and “Happily Ever After” closes at Magic Kingdom Sept. 29. Both parks will have new spectaculars in place as of Oct. 1: “Harmonious” at Epcot and “Disney Enchanted” at Magic Kingdom.

For the second year, Disneyland Resort partnered with Anaheim Union High School District to support Anaheim’s Innovative Mentoring Experience (AIME). Through the AIME internship program, high school students are paired with mentors to learn the ins and outs of an organization, prepare for the demands of college and career life, and make lasting personal and professional connections.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/AAbI33QeH7QView the full article

Disney could get more than half a billion dollars in state tax incentives for the regional hub in Lake Nona where it plans to relocate more than 2,000 employees, documents show. View the full article Disney could get more than $500 million in state tax breaks for new Lake Nona regional hub By AUSTIN FULLER ORLANDO SENTINEL | JUL 21, 2021 AT 1:44 PM Disney could get more than half a billion dollars in state tax breaks for building a regional hub in Lake Nona where it plans to put more than 2,000 employees moving from California, documents show. Disney’s capital investment for the project could be as much as $864 million, according to company projections made in documents released to the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday from the state’s Department of Economic Opportunity. An estimate shows Disney could claim more than $570 million in tax breaks over 20 years for the project, the documents say. The company is eligible for the money under the state’s Capital Investment Tax Credit program, for which it was approved in February 2020, according to Christina Pushaw, press secretary for the governor. Disney revealed last week it is planning to move more than 2,000 Disney Parks, Experiences and Products positions from California to a new campus in Orlando. The average wage for the positions is $120,000 annually. Neither Disney nor the state revealed specifics on the tax incentives for the project until DEO responded to a public records request from the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday. The campus is expected to be about 300,000 to 400,000 square feet, Disney’s application shows. “Taxpayer intends to establish a regional campus that will take this international enterprise into the 21st century with a state-of-the-art modern overhaul of the operational software systems that helps drive the success for this company to create an efficient management system,” the application states. The Orlando Sentinel previously reported Universal Orlando is in line for nearly $350 million in state tax breaks to build a new headquarters for a division that designs its theme parks, rides and hotels. Representatives for Disney could not be immediately reached for comment.

Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage is coming back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 15th. The show retells the “tale as old as time” with Broadway-quality costumes, sets, and talent. Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage ©Disney Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage originally opened at the parks in 1991, on the exact same day when the Beauty and the Beast animated film was released. Guests will now get to see it once more at Hollywood Studios’ Theater of the Stars on Sunset Blvd. Beauty and the Beast’s theater was temporarily used as a seating area! And that’s not the only thing returning to Hollywood Studios either — Disney also announced that fireworks would soon return to the park. Other entertainment offerings are also coming back soon, including Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor at Magic Kingdom and Turtle Talk with Crush at EPCOT.

Not too long ago, fireworks returned to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT in Disney World with Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever, respectively. Fireworks are BACK! But, at the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary there will be new fireworks shows for fans to enjoy — Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonious in EPCOT. So, what will happen to EPCOT Forever and Happily Ever After? Will they come back after the 50th Anniversary celebrations are done or will they be gone for good? We’ve got a BIG update! Today, Disney shared that EPCOT Forever and Happily Ever After will officially CLOSE in Disney World this summer. Specifically, Disney said that this summer will be your last chance to catch these fireworks before they “sparkle into Disney history.” That language appears to indicate that these fireworks will in fact CLOSE this summer and will not return to the parks in the future (at least according to what Disney seems to be indicating now). Happily Ever After is Coming to a Close! When will these shows close? EPCOT Forever will close in EPCOT on September 28th. And Happily Ever After will close at Magic Kingdom on September 29th. EPCOT Forever Fireworks If you’d like to see these fireworks before the new shows take their places, be sure to make your plans to visit the parks before they end! Won’t be able to make it into the parks in time for their final shows or just wanting to relive the magic at home?

Happily Ever After And click here to see photos and videos from the return of EPCOT Forever to EPCOT this year! Fireworks have returned to EPCOT What about those new shows coming to the parks? Well, Disney Enchantment will debut in Magic Kingdom on October 1st. During the show, guests will get to enjoy “music, enhanced lighting, stunning fireworks and, for the first time, immersive projection effects that extend from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A.” The fireworks are meant to take guests “on a journey filled with adventure, wonder and empowerment,” inspiring everyone to believe in magic. Disney Enchantment ©Disney What about Harmonious? This new show will debut in EPCOT also on October 1st.
