There’s no denying it: it’s been a WEIRD year for movies. Have You Seen Raya and the Last Dragon? ©Disney In response to the global health crisis, Disney’s approach to releasing movies has been creative and surprising at times. It can seem kind of random how they decide to release each of their films. So, is Disney playing favorites with certain movies getting a “better” type of release? Let’s take a look! How Disney is Releasing Films Disney has released four MAJOR films during the global health crisis, while others have been delayed. Of those movies released: Some have gone straight to Disney+ as a free offering for subscribers Some hit theaters first and then became available on Disney+ for free Some have become (at least initially) available through the Disney+ Premier Access program only (which requires an additional payment on top of the Disney+ subscription) Some have been released on Disney+ and in theaters simultaneously. Beautiful Raya Artwork! Basically, the range is “free for Disney+ Subscribers” to “only in movie theaters” and everything in between. And it’s being handled on a case-by-case basis. Yeah, it’s a little confusing. Soul premiered directly on Disney+ for subscribers to view for FREE — no Premier Access, no theatrical release first. But, in international markets where Disney+ is not available, Soul was released theatrically. Onward was initially released in theaters in early March, but as the COVID-19 pandemic started to affect the world and movie theaters began closing, it quickly became available to purchase on streaming platforms, and shortly after became available to stream on Disney+ for free. Check Out This Soul Mural On the other hand, Mulan was released through Disney+ Premier Access for the one-time cost of $30. That means in order to initially watch this film you had to have a Disney+ subscription AND pay an additional $30 for the film. Again, in countries where Disney+ is not available, Disney released Mulan in theaters. A few months later, Mulan arrived on the platform free of additional charge. So if you didn’t mind waiting a couple months, you could watch it for no additional cost. Incredible Mulan Chalk Art! Raya and the Last Dragon used a slightly different method. The film was released on Disney+ through Premier Access for $30, like Mulan, but was also released on the same day in theaters. Starting June 4th, the film will be available for free for all Disney+ subscribers. Tuk Tuk Plush Other films that were originally scheduled for theatrical releases eventually premiered on Disney+ for free, like The One and Only Ivan and Artemis Fowl. The One and Only Ivan ©Disney Some movies have been significantly delayed in an effort to ensure a full theatrical release. The most notable example of this is with Black Widow, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film that was originally set to release in 2020. Black Widow was then delayed to May 7th, 2021 — but it has now been delayed AGAIN and it is going to be released in Disney+ through Premier Access and in theaters on the same day in July (similar to what was done with Raya and the Last Dragon). We’ll Get to See Black Widow Soon! ©Disney | Marvel Studios Disney has also just announced that Pixar’s Luca will be released for FREE on Disney+ later this year (the film was originally set to be released in theaters), and Cruella will release in theaters and on Disney+ in May (it was originally just set to be released in theaters). Several other movies have also been pushed back in terms of their release dates, but are still scheduled for a theatrical release (for now — this could always change!). These include: Free Guy, set to premiere now on August 13, 2021 Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, set to premiere now on September 3, 2021 The King’s Man, set to premiere now on December 22, 2021 Deep Water, set to premiere now on January 14, 2022 Death on the Nile, set to premiere now on February 11, 2022 Luca © Disney/Pixar So, how does Disney decide which films get what treatment? Why didn’t Soul get a pushed-back release date to theaters? Why is Black Widow getting the Disney+ and theatrical release treatment? And WHAT is the deciding factor for what goes to Premier Access? Are they playing favorites? Click here to learn more about Premier Access! How Much Money Have These Films Made? First, let’s take a look at how much money these films have made. Perhaps their budget and projected box office earnings have an effect on which release strategy Disney uses? ©Disney/Pixar Let’s look at Soul. IndieWire notes that generally Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and Disney’s own animated titles typically cost well over $150 million each to create. So, let’s assume Soul‘s budget, being a Pixar film, was somewhere close to that. According to Box Office Mojo (an IMDB project), the film brought in $116.2 from its worldwide theatrical releases. “Celebrate Soulfully” Petite Cake Onward, Pixar’s previous film, brought in $141.9 million from theatrical releases, according to Box Office Mojo. (But remember that number got chopped lower than it likely would have been due to theaters closing.) Disney has not released specific figures in terms of how these films affected Disney+ subscribers and what revenue exactly has come from that, but we did learn that Disney+ experienced a HUGE bump in app installations over the holidays (close to when Soul was released). According to Bloomberg, there were actually about 2.3 million global installations of the Disney+ mobile app over the Christmas holiday. ©Disney Disney hasn’t released figures on how much they made from Premier Access release on either of the films that went to Premier Access (Mulan and Raya). According to Box Office Mojo, Raya and the Last Dragon has grossed about $67.6 million worldwide in theaters. Per CNN, Mulan had a $200 million budget. Box Office Mojo reports that the movie brought in about $66.8 million in worldwide theatrical releases. Again, these numbers don’t seem to reflect the revenue these potentially brought in in terms of Premier Access payments or increases to the Disney+ subscriber numbers. ©Disney+ Black Widow has yet to be released, but another Marvel Cinematic Universe standalone film (Spider-Man Far From Home) made about $1.132 billion at the box office from a budget of about $160 million, according to Box Office Mojo. Want to learn more about Disney+ subscriber numbers? Click here! So, How Might Disney Be Deciding? Interestingly enough, we’ve noticed that Disney has generally sent different studio films to different release methods. Pixar’s films — both Soul and Luca — have gone or are set to go straight to Disney+ for free. Onward went to Disney+ for free rather quickly as well. On the other hand, Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios films have generally gone to Premier Access — we saw this for Raya and the Last Dragon and now for Cruella. ©Marvel When it comes to Marvel, things are a bit different. Black Widow is set to come to theaters and Disney+ through Premier Access on the same day. But, another Marvel film — Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — is still set for a theatrical release only. ©Disney | Marvel Studios So, what gives? Box Office Considerations As mentioned, this decision may be based (partly) on how much these films are expected to bring in at the box office. Pure box office numbers however might indicate that Disney would want to push back Black Widow again to try and get a purely theatrical release. It seems Disney has given up on that strategy for this film, perhaps because it has already been SIGNIFICANTLY delayed and delaying it further would complicate future releases. Black Widow Art But, Disney hasn’t entirely given up on the potential revenue of a Marvel movie in theaters, as it still plans to keep Shang Chi as a theatrical release. In that way, Disney may be playing favorites by holding onto a Marvel film that has the potential to earn them over a BILLION dollars. Merchandise! On the other hand, releasing Pixar and Walt Disney Studios films in any way possible (Free or Premier Access) still generally lets Disney continue their normal pattern of merchandising. It’s possible that with these movies — which are (again generally speaking) marketed heavily towards children, bring in quite a bit of merchandise dollars and food tie-ins, in and out of the parks — their release in any fashion is “worth it.” Soul ©Pixar | Disney We’ve seen a LOT of Raya and the Last Dragon and Soul merchandise from Disney, for instance. We’ve even seen McDonald’s toys! We have seen Marvel merch too though, so it’s not as though merchandising is exclusive to kids’ films. But Disney might value the merchandise and release of these films differently. Disney+ Subscribers These releases may also be aimed at increasing or maintaining the number of Disney+ subscribers. Back in November of 2020, Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek said “It’s very clear to us that new content drives subscribers.” Disney+ has a MASSIVE number of subscribers already, but its goal is to get MANY more. That’s a LOT of Subscribers ©Disney Disney has noted just HOW important its direct-to-consumer (DTC) services are to the future of the company. Disney CEO Bob Chapek has specifically noted that “DTC business is key to the future growth of our company.” Chapek also said he sees the DTC business as a “key driver of significant long-term value for [the] company.” So, if Disney is focused greatly on its DTC services (which it appears it VERY much is), then releasing more content on Disney+ (either for free or for an additional cost) might be a long-term strategy focused on gaining and keeping subscribers in a service that Disney considers to be KEY to its future. Release Schedules Plus, continuing some sort of release pattern — even if it’s just on Disney+, frees up future release schedules instead of delaying them like Marvel’s has been. COVID-19 Concerns With animation, films can generally be worked on at home. This means productions can largely stay on schedule. Disney’s Executive Chairman Bob Iger even noted in an interview how Soul was finished entirely during COVID. A new documentary about how Soul was finished during quarantine is actually set to be released in the future. ©Disney For Marvel and other live-action concepts, however, the global health crisis has likely slowed down production and bogged down future releases. Demand and Consumer Preference One of the BIGGEST factors, however, might be demand and consumer preference. Demand at theaters may be lower due to health concerns, and that could impact future releases. According to The Harris Poll, one-third of Americans expect to go to theaters less often in 2021. But, according to Deadline, some people are ready to go back to the movies. During a recent week in February, 53% of respondents said that they feel movie theaters are “very or somewhat safe,” which is the highest number that has been seen in a while. Disney’s recent changes regarding Black Widow, Cruella, and Luca might show that they’re prepared to make adjustments to meet changes in attitude and be flexible. AMC Talking about theatrical vs. Disney+ releases, Disney CEO Bob Chapek noted in a recent earnings call, “It’s going to be dependent, though, on what our slate of titles are and whether we think that we need to put something on the service for those particular guests, or whether this is something that we could use as another data point in our exploration of Premier Access same date with theatrical.” Chapek noted, “it’s really about flexibility, and we’re going to steer our decision-making over time given what information that we get from our guests and our subscriber base on what they prefer.” ©Disney Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek has said that “People want to see movies the way they want to see them, when they want to see them, and how they want to see them.” In terms of using Premier Access for more films in the future, Chapek says that the decision on whether this strategy will be used moving forward will be “up to the consumer.” According to Chapek, the decision really comes from what the audience prefers. So, in that case, Disney isn’t playing favorites — we are, as the consumers! There Are So Many Things on Disney+ ©Disney It seems there are really a number of factors potentially at play here — Disney+ subscribers, changing consumer preferences and behavior, financial considerations, and likely much more. At the end of the day, only time and future changes in consumer behavior, profits, and more will truly tell how Disney continues to adapt its movie premieres.

One thing we love about EPCOT is World Showcase, where we can visit so many countries around the world without ever leaving Disney World! EPCOT World Showcase Okay, so we also love eating all those internationally-inspired snacks and buying merchandise exclusive to specific countries! Oh, and the festivals! But we just found ANOTHER place at Disney World that takes you around the world. And it’s not where you would think! We found the World Showcase at…Disney Springs! To be exact, we found the World Showcase at Pin Traders at Disney Springs, where we found a pin or two for EVERY country! We’re starting in the United Kingdom with a U.K. Minnie Pin! UK Minnie is cute! We found Minnie on another U.K. Pin being brilliant! And then she hopped on over to the Eiffel Tower on a Chic France Pin. Minnie is a stylish world traveler! On this France Pin, Minnie brings Mickey along and they kiss in front of the Eiffel Tower! And it says “you and me” in French! Awwww! Paris IS the city of love and romance! Of course, we got VERY excited to see there are Food Pins, too! The France pin has macarons in a Mickey shape, while the Italy pin has a BIG scoop of Mickey-shaped gelato in a cone! Um…these are making us hungry. Food Pins! That’s what we’re talking about! Mickey and Minnie also went to Italy for this Italia Pin. Look at them staring at each other over cappuccinos . Italia! Italy and Norway might be far apart geographically speaking, but you can visit both countries in a blink with these two pins. The Italy Pin has a very fashionable Mickey and Minnie on it. The Norway Pin has Mickey and Minnie in a ski lift ready to hit the slopes. Italy AND Norway This Mickey Mexico Pin is so much fun! Check out those colorful flowers! Mexico! But we LOVE The Three Caballeros Mexico Pin, too. The Three Caballeros! We can almost smell the cherry blossoms on the Japan Pin that features Minnie. Let’s go to Japan!

Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon has taken off since its release on March 5th on Disney+ and in theaters! We have fallen in love with these characters, especially Raya’s iconic sidekick. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture Disney is notorious for having some of the best sidekicks. We have seen Dante from Coco, Olaf from Frozen, and Hei Hei from Moana. Most recently we were given Tuk Tuk from Raya and the Last Dragon, and now we’re looking at how this lovable character was created! Tuk Tuk is made up of three different parts — part-pill bug, part-pug, and part-armadillo. Through the concepts, you will see different characteristics from these three parts start to come through! Tuk Tuk didn’t start out as cute as we see him now. Thanks to a post on Disney’s Twitter, we can see the first concept drawing! As you can tell, it looks pretty different from the character we see in the movie. © Disney Bringing color to Tuk Tuk in this concept drawing gets closer to the Tuk Tuk we are familiar with, but is still very different. Also, we can’t imagine him rolling around with super-speed here. It looks like this Tuk Tuk would move pretty slow! © Disney In this concept drawing the long tail is gone! We start to see more of the pill bug-type shell and pug cuteness come through in his face. Raya still doesn’t seem as thrilled with this Tuk Tuk. Maybe it’s the ears…? © Disney This last concept brought softness to Tuk Tuk’s face. They also brought more brown tones and got rid of the gray. In this particular concept drawing, he looks a little like a worm but we just want to curl right up with this Tuk Tuk! © Disney And Voilà! The Tuk Tuk we know and love is created with a shell fit to transport a warrior! © Disney Raya couldn’t ask for a better sidekick! We think Disney animators did an awesome job in creating Tuk Tuk for Raya and the Last Dragon! He is too cute, and although Tuk Tuk may not be a lead character, he steals the show! We’ll keep you updated on more behind-the-scenes bits with Disney! Try this adorable Tuk Tuk snack in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

The global health crisis has been particularly hard on the travel industry, and perhaps even more so on cruise lines. Disney Cruise Line At the moment, Disney Cruise Line has currently canceled sailings through August, although the company hopes to resume some operations this fall. Disney also recently announced a new staycation cruise experience in the U.K. However, for the time being, cruises leaving the U.S. are currently grounded and the CDC continues to extend no-sail orders. According to ABC News, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently appeared in public with leaders from Carnival, Norwegian, Disney, and Royal Caribbean. There he spoke out against the cruise ban and threatened to file a lawsuit against the CDC if cruises are not allowed to resume by this summer. Castaway Cay Florida currently has the three busiest ports in all of the U.S., located in Miami, Port Canaveral, and Port Everglades near Fort Lauderdale. DeSantis said that the CDC ban was hurting the state, particularly because cruising has resumed elsewhere in the world. Disney Dream The CDC has not yet commented on DeSantis’ remarks, but it did issue specific guidelines back in October for U.S. cruises. These guidelines include laboratory testing for crews in U.S. waters, simulated voyages to test cruise ship operators’ ability to mitigate COVID-19 risk, certification for ships that meet specific requirements, and a phased return to cruising. Disney Magic Royal Caribbean has already made plans to resume sailing in the summer, as early as June. Those cruises will operate at reduced capacity, with vaccine requirements for crew AND guests. as well as with specific face covering requirements. Meanwhile, Disney Cruise has not announced any summer cruise plans but did recently extend its temporary cancellation and payment policies. We’ll continue to monitor the situation, and keep you updated. Want To Cruise in 2022?

Sprinkles is known for their cupcakes, and we have shared our love for the cupcake ATM at Disney Springs! But, Sprinkles decided they’re not stopping at cupcakes! How about some cupcakes? No?

You can try 1 or try them all…you just have to wait until they are available (which, luckily, is soon!). Chocolate lovers rejoice! Sprinkles announced on their Instagram page that they are bringing SPRINKLES CHOCOLATE to their shops!

The chocolate will be available in stores on April 3rd, so you will just have to drool over these photos until then. © Sprinkles The Black & White chocolate bar is described as, “perfect harmony in every bite.” The Black & White cupcakes are a Belgian chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.

The Sprinkle chocolate bar is a white chocolate bar with rainbow sprinkles inside AND outside. This chocolate bar is fun and colorful! © Sprinkles Red Velvet is a CLASSIC! They converted this cupcake flavor into a chocolate bar by layering milk chocolate with white chocolate and promise that there is, “a subtle hint of frosting, just like our popular cupcake.” © Sprinkles We can’t wait to get our hands on these Sprinkles Chocolates!

Welp, it looks like spring break crowds have left Disney World, for now at least. Spring Break Crowds in Magic Kingdom Just as fast as the crowds flocked to the parks, they appear to have entirely disappeared! The only confusing part is that all four Disney World parks have no Park Pass Reservations left for today. Spring break brought a surge of travelers to the parks earlier this month, and Park Pass Reservations have been going faster than bedazzled Minnie Ears! Mexico Pavilion Spring Break Crowds Even into April, the Park Pass Reservation system shows that crowds are maintaining their presence in all four parks…but we have some QUESTIONS. Magic Kingdom Crowds In theory, it makes total sense that Disney World says ALL the parks are at capacity today. After all, it’s a beautiful, sunny Saturday! Screenshot ©Disney But while we were out exploring Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it certainly didn’t LOOK like capacity-level crowds! It’s not too often we get Cinderella Castle all to ourselves! A Quiet Cinderella Castle In EPCOT, we could take our time shopping, because there’s literally no one else in sight. Shopping in the Japan Pavilion was chill The Mexico Pavilion is usually a LOT busier than this in the middle of the day! Where did everybody go? At the usual lunch rush time, there is no wait to get our barbecue fix either! No wait at Regal Eagle This scene in EPCOT has more trashcans than people… . A crowd-free EPCOT Not a creature was stirring, not even a (Mickey) Mouse. “Capacity”? In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we could have our pick of benches! Hollywood Studios is wide open Are those people or tumbleweeds? Hollywood Studios without the crowds Although the lack of crowds is giving us mixed messages today, it’s pretty refreshing to have the parks basically to ourselves! Also, it’s an apt reminder to keep tabs on the Park Pass Reservations, because you never know what you’ll see! Going to Disney World in April? You NEED to See This Park Pass Update.

Over the past year, we’ve seen a LOT of changes at Disney Parks. Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pre-Closures Most of those changes were due to new health and safety guidelines and were implemented at Disney Parks worldwide, including a Park Pass Reservation requirement, a facial covering requirement for guests over two years of age, new social distancing protocols, and more. But one Disney park recently got a change of a different kind. According to the Japan Times, Tokyo Disney Resort changed its park greeting! This is the greeting that guests hear as they enter the parks at Tokyo Disney Resort. The new greeting no longer greets guests as “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,” but instead says, “Hello, everyone, ” as a more inclusive statement. Beauty and the Beast Attraction at Tokyo Disneyland ©Tokyo This new greeting went into effect as of March 18th. Guests can also expect that announcements on rides will also change to become gender-neutral, and there are plans to adopt this new phrasing across all attractions at Tokyo Disney Resort. The Happy Ride with Baymax at Tokyo Disneyland ©Disney Oriental Land, which owns Tokyo Disney said the change was made for “all guests to continue enjoying their time” at the resort.

Disney World is constantly full of fun surprises! Welcome to Norway! Occasionally, we’re amused by things like a plant replacing Donald (seriously, we’re not sure we’ll ever be over that), Chip ‘n’ Dale deciding to have a picnic, or by Mickey and Minnie surprising us with a meeting at EPCOT. Today, we were searching for Anna, but she wasn’t in front of her usual meeting spot, which is right outside Royal Somerhus at EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion. Like so… . Here, she is out and about, and easy for guests to spot. Anna and Elsa’s regular meeting spot But today, she wasn’t there! She’d moved over to the far side of the building, on the steps! What are you doing way over there, Anna? She was still greeting guests, but from just a little further away. It was harder to see her just walking by, so it seems she wanted to play a game of hide-and-seek! Hi, Anna! So if you happen to be at EPCOT today and you’re looking for Anna, don’t forget to look ALL around to make sure you’re not missing her, since she decided to surprise everyone today by switching spots!

A LOT changed at Disney World when it reopened with new health and safety protocols in place. Holiday Projections (and brief surprise fireworks!) at Cinderella Castle This meant that a lot of entertainment, including parades and nighttime entertainment — like fireworks — is still not happening at the parks. Although we have seen some fireworks testing, Disney has not announced when they will return. That being said, a new job listing could suggest that fireworks might return soon to Disney World. The job listing is for a “Principal Fireworks Designer,” who would be in charge of the Disney Live Entertainment Fireworks & Special Effects Design department. Fireworks Testing The job listing also specifically mentions Disney World, with one responsibility listed as: “Direct on-going ‘Entertainment Show Quality’ evaluations of existing offerings at Walt Disney World and provide support to maintain their original show intent.” Happily Ever After Other responsibilities include: “Participate in project’s creative development including blue sky brainstorming, project kick-offs, internal reviews and other project specific check-ins; Develop and/or execute special effects designs for live shows and facility infrastructure when required; and Direct the Special Effects Designers’ plan and execution for new shows and remounts.” Harmonious Concept Art ©Disney Disney has not yet released any details about when fireworks and nighttime shows will start up again at Disney World, but we’ve been following the progress of construction on EPCOT’s new Harmonious nighttime show, and it seems to be getting closer to completion with each passing day.

One of the hardest choices is picking which Disney Resort you’re going to stay at during your vacation to Disney World! If you’re spending a ton of time in the parks, you might opt for a Value Resort. But, if you’re looking to relax and enjoy all the amenities your hotel has to offer, then you may be looking to splurge on a Deluxe Resort. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Then…there’s the top-tier Disney Villas! We love Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort for its rustic appearance, fantastic restaurants, and tranquil environment. And get this, the Wilderness Lodge is also home to the Copper Creek Villas, which happens to be a Disney Vacation Club Resort. And, we’re taking you with us on a full tour inside the rooms at the Copper Creek Villas! Get ready to kick back and relax as we show you the amenities and layout you can find in the DVC-exclusive rooms at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Bedroom Copper Creek has more of a clean-cut, modern feel compared to the country cabin vibe that the other rooms at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge have. The deluxe studio villas include seating areas, bathroom, kitchenette, TV and dresser set, and a patio. Copper Creek Room The bed has a wooden headboard and bright white sheets that pop against the dark color of the wood. Bed You can find wilderness-themed art pieces placed around the room with references to all the exciting restaurants, entertainment, and even exhibits you can find at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Copper Creek Decor Two bedside stands on either side have a charging station… Bedside Table and Charging Station …as well as a phone to call the front desk or maybe even order a box of Disney pizza straight to your room! Bedside Table and Phone The TV remote is covered in plastic as a health and safety precaution. Disney switches out the plastic when new guests enter the room as a cleaning procedure between parties! Remote Control The “living room” is a super cozy area next to the bed with a sofa you can stretch out on after a long day hitting the pool or restaurant hopping… Seating Area …or even sleep on as it extends out into a pull-out bed for additional guests in your party! Pull-Out Bed The table also extends outward so you can place your shoes or souvenirs inside for safekeeping. Plus, you can even use the extended tabletop as a place to set your food while you watch TV so you don’t spill anything on the beige and brown rug. Pull-Out Table The dressing area layout of the room comes with a mini seat with a drawer… Dressing Area Layout …as well as a dresser with multiple compartments with various sizes that can fit your clothes and Minnie Ears with ease. Dresser Right above the dresser, you can tune into Disney movies and cartoons on the flat-screen television. Plus, you can also check out park hours, as well as the weather forecast for the day! Flat Screen TV There’s a dining area with a mini table and chairs across from the bed as well, so you can get your favorite food to-go for a night in! Dining Chairs and Tables As you’re unpacking your suitcase, you can hang all your delicates inside the closet that is stocked full of amenities you’ll need for your vacation… Closet …including an extra pillow and blanket for the pull-out… Extra Pillow and Blanket …hangers… Hangers …a clothing iron… Iron …and a safe to lock up your important items! Safe Guests also have access to the kitchenette in villas so they can heat up their leftovers from their favorite restaurants or maybe even mix up a little something of their own! Kitchen The kitchenette isn’t a FULL kitchen since there isn’t a regularly sized refrigerator, stove, or oven… Kitchenette …BUT you can find a mini fridge that you can stock up with water bottles or treats from the parks… Mini Fridge …silverware wrapped in plastic as well as towels and a can opener… Silverware …a toaster, cups, and plates to use. Cups, Plates, and Toaster The cabinet pulls out to reveal additional drawers… Drawers …and a trash can hidden away. Trash Can The kitchen sink has hand and dish soap on top of a scrubber for any dishes. Dish Toiletries Guests can also use Joffrey’s Coffee packets and creamer to brew inside the coffee pot… Joffrey’s Coffee …so you can head out the door in the morning and straight onto your favorite attractions! Coffee Maker The bathroom also has a more modern appeal that reminds us of other contemporary resorts and villas.

Bathroom Counter The bathroom comes with various amenities for guests to use, including a hairdryer… Hair Dryer …body lotion, facial soap… H2O Bath Products …and extra toilet paper just below the sink. Extra Toilet Paper The bathroom has a shower and bathtub combination with a sliding glass door. The speckled tile has a rock-like appearance that matches the granite countertops. Shower and Toilet And there’s an array of H2O shower products inside. We’ve previously seen the resorts switch from plastic bottles to reusable canisters, but Copper Creek is still using the plastic bottles. H2O Shower Products And, there’s one last special feature inside the Copper Creek villas that you don’t want to miss! Patio The sliding doors open to a patio outside where you can sit and take in the fresh air, watch the people go by, or maybe even enjoy a glass of wine. Copper Creek Villas Patio If you’re someone who likes to really admire the resort they are staying at, then the Copper Creek Villas might be worth the extra splurge for you!

Get ready to mark your calendars for some special days that only the BIGGEST Disney fans know about! Mickey Mouse Sure, there are plenty of ways to celebrate holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and St. Patrick’s Day in the Disney parks. But there are some holidays that only Disney superfans know about! Here are some special Disney days that you won’t find pre-printed on your planner. Disneyland’s Opening Day Anniversary — July 17th Disneyland first welcomed guests on July 17th, 1955. And thus, Disney’s pioneering of the theme park industry began! Disneyland Entrance Believe it or not, the grand opening was actually a bit of a disaster (Seriously. It’s often referred to as “Black Sunday!”). Several iconic attractions weren’t ready in time for the opening, water fountains around the park weren’t working yet due to a plumber’s strike, fresh asphalt and scorching temperatures turned Main Street, U.S.A. into a mess with women’s heels sinking into the street, and counterfeit tickets packed the park with uninvited guests. Holding Disneyland’s Very 1st Entrance Ticket #000001 But luckily Walt and his team persevered, ironing out the initial blunders and surpassing one million visitors within the first seven weeks of operation. Disneyland There are several ways guests can mark this special moment in Disney history. Milestone anniversaries are often celebrated with special snacks, merchandise, and decor. Sleeping Beauty Castle Decorated for the Disneyland 60th Anniversary ©Disney Since Disneyland is a “locals park,” with much of the attendance coming from guests who live nearby, marking the anniversary with a trip to the park is a special occasion for many Disneyland fans! The Snow White Attraction Has New Scenes and a NEW NAME in Disneyland! Walt Disney World Opening Day Anniversary– October 1st Walt Disney World celebrates its opening day on October 1st, as Magic Kingdom first welcomed guests on October 1st, 1971. Main Street Train Station Eleven years later, this date became even more significant, as EPCOT first opened on October 1st, 1982. Spaceship Earth Similar to Disneyland, Disney World milestone anniversaries are celebrated with special snacks, merchandise, decor, and entertainment. And these goodies have definitely been at the top of our minds lately, as Disney World prepares for its 50th-anniversary celebration later this year! Cinderella Castle 50th Decor The celebration, which Disney is calling “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” is set to kick-off on October 1st, 2021. But if you can’t make it right away, don’t worry — it’s slated to run for 18-months following the anniversary! ©Disney There are a TON of festivities that have been announced for the celebration, including makeovers for the park icons… Spaceship Earth Transformation ©Disney …the grand opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT… ©Disney … and new costumes for Minnie and Mickey! ©Disney And it’s already shaping up to be a BUSY day in the parks on October 1st — Disney Park Passes for Magic Kingdom are currently completely booked up, although it is possible that Disney may release more availability closer to the date as they have in the past. Cinderella Castle We’ll be on the lookout for any additional details and announcements about the upcoming festivities as the 50th-anniversary approaches, so stay tuned for all of the latest info! Here’s Your Guide to the Walt Disney World 50th-Anniversary Celebration! Opening Day of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Anniversary — April 22nd It’s significant that Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on the same day as another holiday — Earth Day. The park’s opening date of April 22nd, 1998 ties into its goal of conservation. Animal Kingdom Entrance Typically, Animal Kingdom’s anniversary is celebrated with the annual Party for the Planet, which has featured talks from Disney Imagineers, special character experiences, unique photo ops, and more. Special Characters for Party for the Planet And as with the other anniversary events, special snacks and merchandise have also been known to pop up in the park in honor of the “holiday.” “Up” Cake Push Pop Even though April 22nd might stick out already as a holiday, it takes on a whole new meaning to Disney fans! 12 Things You Never Knew About Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Dapper Day When Disneyland first opened, it was commonplace to see women in dresses and petticoats and men in their Sunday best. Today, it might look a little odd to see folks dressed to the nines on a hot day in Disney World, but it happens! Dapper Day is a celebration of fun, vintage style, and it’s a great excuse for Disney fashionistas to get all dressed up for a trip to the parks! Dapper Day in Hollywood Studios There is typically a spring and fall outing in both Disney World and Disneyland, although the exact dates and parks can change from year to year. Dapper Day If you’re in need of an outfit to celebrate, you might even be able to find the occasional Dapper Day pop-up shop for all your fashion needs! Dapper Day Sunglasses So, if you happen to spot a group of impeccably dressed guests strolling through the parks on your trip, you may have just stumbled upon a Dapper Day outing! What’s It REALLY Like to Wear Minnie Ears ALL Day in Disney World? Mickey Mouse’s Birthday — November 18th Walt Disney himself once said, “I hope we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse.” And Disney fans around the world have continued to recognize Mickey’s legacy by celebrating his “birthday” on November 18th. Happy Birthday Button for Mickey! The Disney parks make it easy to celebrate the main mouse’s birthday, with special snacks, merchandise, and promotions. Mickey Birthday Treats And there’s an extra-special Imagineering detail in the queue for Under the Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid in Magic Kingdom that only reveals itself on Mickey’s birthday. Under the Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid Part of the rock formation in the queue is carved so that the sun will shine through onto the base of a wall at the perfect angle to form Mickey’s head ONLY on November 18th each year at noon. Now that’s an elusive Hidden Mickey! How Many of You Have Walked Under This HUGE Hidden Mickey in Disney World? Adventureland Day — First Sunday in March Looking for an excuse to dress up in your best Enchanted Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones, or Tarzan attire? Well then, Adventureland Day is the holiday for you! Adventureland On the first Sunday in March, Adventureland Day participants dress up in garb inspired by their favorite attraction from the land to celebrate the magic it inspires. Since this event is a fan-made tradition, it still have a very fun home-grown feel to it. Scavenger hunts are often created, as well as planned meet-ups and photo ops. Jungle Cruise Minnie Ears From colorful Tiki Room birds to treasure hunting explorers, there’s definitely plenty of inspiration to pull from! If you want to follow when the next day rolls around, you can check out their Facebook page here! Everything We Know About the Changes Coming to Disney’s Jungle Cruise Attraction Just because these “holidays” don’t come pre-loaded on your average calendar doesn’t make them any less important for Disney superfans!

Plus, you might even get to enjoy a special treat, new merch, or exclusive entertainment as part of the celebration. Now that’s REALLY something to get excited about! How Do They Do That?
