Last year, Cinderella Castle got a whole new look with some bolder blues, some pink tones, and gold touches. Cinderella Castle We’ve also seen other areas around Disney World getting some makeovers like the Train Station on Main Street, U.S.A., the Magic Kingdom entrance sign, and even the Disney World entrance signs. But, now it looks like Disney has potentially started another refurbishment project at Cinderella Castle that’ll definitely make your Castle pics look a little…different. Just a few days ago, this was our view of Cinderella Castle in all her glory. Cinderella Castle But, today the Castle was sporting a different look. The stage in front of the Castle has now been blocked off with a row of bushes. Cinderella Castle Construction There is also some gray-colored scrim up by the Castle, behind the bushes. Cinderella Castle Construction From in front of the Castle, you can see the parts of the scrim that are wrapped around the railings on the lower part of the stage. Cinderella Castle Construction The ramps on either side of the Castle that allow you to walk right up to and through Cinderella Castle are still open though. As you walk those you can get a bit better of a view of what’s going on. There appears to be some small walls behind the plants, as well as some other items covered in scrim. Cinderella Castle Construction There is some scrim around the lower edge of the Castle stage, and some more railings all around the stage covered in the same scrim. Cinderella Castle Construction There also appears to be something on the stage that’s covered in scrim. Cinderella Castle Construction If you’ll be heading to Disney World soon, be aware that your Castle photos might look a little bit different because of these plants and scrim on the Castle stage. You could head to the back of the Castle for a different view without any scrim, or try to place yourself in a spot that might avoid some of the scrim depending on the angle. Cinderella Caste We’re not entirely sure why these areas have been covered in scrim, how long they’ll be up, or what type of potential refurbishment work Disney might be doing in this area. We’ll definitely keep an eye out for more updates though, and we’ll let you know what we see. Click here to see 10 things you NEED to know about Disney World in February 2021.

U.S. military personnel can choose between a 4-day or 5-day Military Promotional Ticket. These tickets can be purchased through December 17th, 2021, and are valid for use from February 15th, 2021 through December 17th, 2021.

Disney’s upcoming NEW animated film, Raya and the Last Dragon, is set to release in theaters and on Disney+ with Premiere Access in just a few weeks! Raya and the Last Dragon First Look ©Walt Disney Animation Studios So far, we’ve seen some trailers for the film, TONS of merchandise for the movie has been released, we’ve taken a look at when you’ll be able to see it for free on Disney+, and we’ve already shared that the movie is available for pre-order. But, now Disney has announced 2 NEW experiences coming to Disney World to celebrate this movie! If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you’ll want to stop by Disney’s Animal Kingdom for these 2 BRAND NEW experiences celebrating Raya and the Last Dragon. First, starting on February 22nd, 2021, you’ll be able to draw new characters from Raya at The Animation Experience at Conservation Station. Animation Experience One of the characters you might get the chance to draw is Raya’s faithful companion Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk is actually part-pill bug, part-pug, and part-high speed off-road vehicle. But, he’s 100% adorable and fun! As part of the Animation Experience, you’ll also get to get a behind-the-scenes peek at the inspiration for Tuk Tuk as shared by Kelly Marie Tran (voice of Raya) and Awkwafina (voice of Sisu). ©Disney Aside from the Animation Experience, guests will also be able to celebrate the release of Raya and the Last Dragon at the Discovery Island Stage in Animal Kingdom. On that stage, artists will actually be working on a 40-ton sand sculpture featuring Raya, Tuk Tuk, Sisu the last dragon and the Ongi in the fantasy world of Kumandra. ©Disney It will take a team of 2 artists over 24 hours(!!) to build and carve this display entirely out of sand. You’ll be able to actually see the artists at work from February 19th, 2021 through February 21st, 2021. The sand carving will also be on display for a limited time through the end of March. Animal Kingdom So, if you’ll be heading to Disney World soon, be sure to check out these two new experiences. We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney news and let you know what we find!

We took a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom yesterday and got to give Disney some of our thoughts! Tree of Life Every once in a while, we receive a survey from Disney World that asks us about our experience. Sometimes they’re just a few questions and other times, like yesterday, they’re loooong. Take a look at the interesting survey we received after our park visit! First up, the survey took a look at the guest perceptions of the crowds asking if the park felt too crowded, if crowds were more or less than expected, and the perception of wait times. Survey Screenshot As we’ve seen with many recent surveys, Disney asked several questions about the current health measures that are in use in the park. There were some more broad questions that spoke to the health experience overall as well as some similar ones that spoke to the security experience. Survey Screenshot Guests were also asked to rate several experiences such as Atmosphere Entertainment, Character Cavalcades, and more. This likely means Disney is gathering data on the current guest satisfaction with the entertainment offerings. Survey Screenshot Interestingly enough, the survey even featured a question asking about the potential negative impact from other guests’ behavior. This has sometimes been an issue with the health measures in the parks. Survey Screenshot Then, we got a little bit more into the nitty-gritty of the individual impacts. Disney asked about how missing offerings impacted guests’ visits as well as individual examples of the health measures. Survey Screenshot Some more general questions about Animal Kingdom were fielded too. One gave several options for guests to rank their top three reasons for visiting Animal Kingdom. Survey Screenshot And, of course, some opinions were requested on the Disney Park Pass system. We especially thought this question was interesting: “Was Disney’s Animal Kingdom your first choice for a reservation on February 13th?” As a reminder, park reservations were pretty full that day. Survey Screenshot This is a question we’ve seen on MANY park surveys in the past months as Disney continues to gather information on how guests feel about visiting the theme parks. Survey Screenshot Perhaps the most surprising question of this survey asked us to rank how BIG of a fan we are of Star Wars and Marvel. Huh…neither of these franchises are even in Animal Kingdom! It’s likely that Disney is just looking to gauge interest from their guests overall. From there, we were asked about some of the technology and digital resources offered by Disney at this time including things like mobile dine offerings, Disney Photopass, and the My Disney Experience app. Survey Screenshot We’ve DEFINITELY run into our fair share of technical difficulties with Disney’s services so we were glad to see that Disney has taken an interest in some of the hiccups. Survey Screenshot Overall, this lengthy survey gives us some idea into the market research that Disney is currently conducting. Maybe our opinions (or yours) could help to change the park’s experience for the better! As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates! Wanna see an Animal Kingdom snack hack? Click here!

There’s so much to do at Disney World other than the parks! Grand Floridian Resort Pool You can visit Disney Springs, go golfing, or book a lunch reservation at one of the resorts. Or, you can take a short walk to your resort pool and spend the afternoon there! After all, the pools have their own unique features and special theming. In fact, some of them even have SECRETS. If you don’t stay on property at Disney, or if you just don’t spend a lot of time at the pools, you may not know these fun facts! 1. There’s a hidden water park at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts You may have heard that Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts share a pretty awesome pool, but did you know they have a whole mini water park?! Stormalong Bay is over 3 acres of sunshine-y fun and features the highest Disney resort water slide, a lazy river, 3 whirlpool slides, and more. Stormalong Bay This MASSIVE pool holds over 795,000 gallons of water, making it the largest Disney resort pool (if you count the whole thing as one big pool!). And part of that pool’s floor is actually sandy on the bottom — after all, we are sticking with a beachy theme here! Stormalong Bay If a crowded water park isn’t really your scene, Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts have 3 other pools. The Tidal, Admiral, and Dunes Cove pools all have steaming whirlpool spas and are a bit more relaxing. Check Out Beach Club Resort’s Official Reopening Date! 2. There used to be underwater speakers at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Listening to music underwater sounds pretty awesome, right? At the Nemo-themed Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, you used to be able to do just that. The surface music was piped right into the water! Big Blue Pool The Big Blue Pool is the largest single resort pool on property (not counting the multi-pooled massiveness that is Stormalong Bay), but the underwater music gave it another claim to fame! Unfortunately, this unique feature hasn’t been around for a little while. However, the Big Blue Pool is currently undergoing refurbishment, so who knows what the future will hold! Click Here for Art of Animation’s Latest Menu Updates! 3. Disney has “quiet” pools for when you want to escape the crowds Pools can get LOUD. There are trivia contests, kids playing, and music blasting from speakers. Sometimes, you may just want to go to a pool to relax. Disney gets it — so they have designated quiet pools for just that! Caribbean Beach “Quiet pools” lack the interactive activities and loud music played in the feature pools. Each resort typically has a feature pool (that’s the BIG crowded one, typically near the main building) and one or two quiet pools. Some of our favorites are the Courtyard Pool at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort or one of the FIVE quiet pools at Port Orleans Riverside Resort: three in Alligator Bayou and two in Magnolia Bend. Beach Club Resort And Caribbean Beach has a quiet pool for every village in addition to their feature pool, Fuentes del Morro! Check Out These Characters at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort! 4. You can pool hop…on one condition Guests are not allowed to pool hop in Disney World. That means when you pick your resort, you’re picking the pool, too! However, you CAN go to a different pool on one condition: if you’re staying at one of Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts. Port Orleans Riverside If you’re at one of these resorts, you can hop between the pools at Port Orleans French Quarter and Port Orleans Riverside. That’s access to over half a dozen pools! Port Orleans Riverside has a feature pool (Ol’ Man Island) and 5 leisure pools, while French Quarter has the Mardi Gras-themed Doubloon Lagoon (with a pretty awesome sea serpent water slide!). If you want lots of options, this may be a factor you want to consider when choosing a resort. Keep in mind, however, that both Port Orleans resorts are temporarily closed. We’ll keep you updated as we get reopening information! Port Orleans French Quarter Pool Note that typically Disney Vacation Club members CAN pool hop to other DVC resorts if they show proof of their membership, but the list of acceptable pools to visit has gotten smaller and smaller over the years. Pool Hopping for DVC hasn’t been allowed since the reports reopened. If you’re a DVC member, be sure to check which pools are available to you if/when this feature returns. Check Out Another Pool Closure Here! 5. You can rent a cabana in Disney World If you want some extra luxury while you’re lounging by the pool, you can rent a cabana! They’re available for all resort guests at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and they’re available at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts for those guests only. Yacht and Beach Club Cabanas Your cabana will have padded furniture, a TV, a ceiling fan, and a mini-fridge stocked with complimentary snacks and water. Cabana rentals start at around $150 for a half-day and vary based on resort and pool location — be sure to call for information specific to your stay. Each cabana can hold up to 6 people. Grand Floridian Pool Keep in mind that there’s a cheaper option, too: there are free cabanas at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort at the Cozy Cone Pool. Your cabana won’t have all the same plush perks, but it’s complimentary AND shaped like a cozy cone! Click Here to See Disney’s Yacht Club Resort’s Glow-Up! 6. You can watch a movie from some of the pools “Movie Under the Stars” is a complimentary movie screening series for all Disney resort guests. On select nights, guests will gather at a designated outdoor location and enjoy a movie night in the fresh air. Some of these locations are at pools — which means you can swim or lounge while you watch! Movie Under the Stars Both All-Star Music and All-Star Sports host their movie nights at their pools — however, both of these resorts are temporarily closed. If you want to enjoy this perk, you’ll have to book a room at Disney’s Pop Century Resort and head to the Hippy Dippy Pool deck (but heads up, that’s closed starting February 15th for refurbishment too!). Check Out Hippy Dippy Pool’s Refurbishment Schedule Here! 7. You can get spiked Dole Whip at some pools You can get your spiked Dole Whip fix at several locations in the parks, like Tamu Tamu in Disney’s Animal Kingdom or the Flower and Garden Festival in EPCOT. But did you know you can get this refreshing treat at certain resorts, too? Captain’s Pineapple Drink at Art of Animation Resort The Drop Off Pool Bar at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort serves the Captain’s Pineapple, which is spiced rum blended with pineapple soft-serve. Or, you can grab some at Pineapple Lanai at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! This one’s called the Dole Whip with Rum Floater, and it’s pineapple Dole Whip with coconut rum. Pineapple Lanai isn’t technically the Polynesian’s pool bar, but it’s just steps away! Check Out This New Dole Whip Flavor Combo! 8. Your little one can go mermaid swimming Kids can shimmy into their own pair of fins and take mermaid classes at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Art of Animation Resort, and Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. These 1-hour lessons are for guests ages 4 and up and cost $50 per person. This pricey extra may be worth it if your little one is celebrating a special occasion! Caribbean Beach Resort Pool Keep in mind that mermaid swimming is temporarily unavailable as Disney is limiting crowds. We’ll keep you posted here at DFB on its return! Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! 9. Want a water slide? Don’t stay at a value resort There’s a quick trick to figuring out which features your resort pool might have. Moderate and deluxe resorts all have water slides, while value resorts do not! So if you’re staying at any of the All-Star Resorts, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, or Disney’s Pop Century Resort, you will not have access to a slide. All-Star Music Pool Some of the moderate and deluxe resorts have some mind-blowing water slides, especially for the little ones! At Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter, the Doubloon Lagoon water slide is shaped like a sea monster! Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort has a jaguar slide, and Disney’s Boardwalk Inn’s recently redone slide (goodbye, creepy clown!) features Mickey and Minnie’s sunny summer day. We especially love the Polynesian’s water slide in a VOLCANO! Check Out This Typo on the New Boardwalk Slide! 10. Disney’s Pop Century Resort’s pool is shaped like a bowling pin Disney’s Pop Century Resort has some iconic pools themed after various decades. And their 50s pool is shaped like a bowling pin! Disney’s Pop Century Resort You know what’s even cooler? There are 9 bowling pins scattered around the 50s section of the resort, forming staircases for the various buildings. That tenth bowling pin is the pool! Disney definitely didn’t spare (get it?) on any details here. Explore Disney’s Pop Century Resort with Us! Disney’s pools are full of details, exciting theming, and opportunities for fun — as long as you know where to look! We hope you enjoyed our trip around Disney’s pools as much as we did.

Disney chefs don’t just create amazing food — they also often create food that are works of art! Grand Floridian From blinged out cupcakes to beautiful pastries to gingerbread houses, we’ve seen a lot of art made out of things that we can eat! But we think we just saw the pinnacle of amazing food art today! Okay, so we’re a little biased because this chocolate sculpture features one of our most favorite buildings in the world — Cinderella Castle! Look at how gorgeous this thing is! Chocolate Cinderella Castle It was completely hand-decorated by the Grand Floridian Bakery. And every little detail is PERFECT, like this figure of Cinderella getting ready to go to the ball! Cinderella And this figure of the Fairy Godmother doing her Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo magic! And y’all — there is even a hidden Mickey in the pumpkins!!! Fairy Godmother Even the back is perfectly detailed — no castle stone was left unturned by these bakers. Chocolate Cinderella Castle This beautiful creation is currently on display at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. We totally recommend checking it out as it is quite the sight to behold. And we have to keep reminding ourselves that it’s also completely edible — but this might be the one thing that’s way too pretty to eat (and y’all know us, we’ll eat ALL the pretty things). We’ll let you know if we see any other cool things at the resorts! Review: This Cupcake in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a Chocolate-and-Cherry Treat!

Diablo from La Cava del Tequila From food hacks to how to increase your chances of grabbing a boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance, we’re going to let you know about it all! And today, we found another tip that could save you a LOT of time at EPCOT! On busy days at Disney World, the line to get into the Mexico Pavilion gets long — just today, we saw the wait to get inside at about 30 minutes. But what if you’re just wanting a tasty beverage from La Cava del Tequila (like we so often do)? Previously, you would have to wait in the same line as everyone else. Line for Mexico Pyramid But as of two days ago (per a Cast Member), you can now enter La Cava del Tequila from a backstage entrance. And the best part — the wait is a LOT shorter! This area is now open to guests. Now, it won’t look like backstage because the walkway is lined with bushes that make it feel like a grand entrance for the lounge! Backstage Queue area for La Cava del Tequila You’ll know you’re headed in the right direction when you see the La Cava del Tequila menu. La Cava del Tequila Keep following the pathway, and you’ll soon reach your destination! La Cava del Tequila entrance We did this today and it only took about 10 minutes for us to get up to the bar to place our order. La Cava del Tequila So while that same group was probably still waiting outside the pyramid to get in, we were already sipping on a margarita and enjoying life! Here’s a note, though: if you want to shop inside the pavilion or ride The Three Caballeros, you’ll still have to wait in that longer line outside. We’ll be sure to let you know about other tips and tricks that can make your waits at Disney World a little shorter! You Can Drink INSIDE La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT Once Again…For a Price!

And we’ve got photos and videos to show just how crowded the parks looked!

We’re trying to patiently wait for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure to open in Disney World. But, the early arrival of merchandise, removal of construction walls, and the Gusteau’s sign all lit up at night are REALLY making us that much more excited! France Pavilion After the cutest Talking Remy Plushes hit the shelves in EPCOT, they disappeared just as quickly as they appeared. Luckily, though, they were restocked pretty soon afterwards so everyone could take home their own “Little Chef” ahead of the attraction’s grand opening. But, um, Remy might be feeling overworked in the kitchen since he’s looking kind of strange today. When we visited the France Pavilion to see if any more Ratatouille items had arrived on the shelves, we noticed that one Remy Plush was not like the others. Talking Remy Plush Back In Stock This guy seemed a bit lazy-eyed, like he had been reading “Anyone Can Cook!” way past his bedtime or fell into a food coma from all the eats at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts (same). Strange Remy Plush We think he was probably trying to figure out the opening date for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and got a little frazzled in the meantime. Strange Remy Plush He sure is a unique souvenir to take home from Disney World. And, since we’ve become collectors of Disney items that are extra special, we couldn’t help but take him home with us for $29.99. Trust us — he’s still just as cute in person, we promise! Stay tuned with DFB for more new merchandise we find around the parks soon! We’ve fallen in love with this Valentine’s themed cocktail in Disney World!

Hello DFB friends! We’re back with another what’s new in Disney Springs! Disney Springs We spent the day roaming around the shopping and dining district to bring you all the latest updates. So without further ado, let’s see what’s new! Disney Springs Food Updates Sunshine Churros On our visit, we found TWO new churros at Sunshine Churros! Churros First up, we tried the Oreo Churro that made us want to double-stuff our faces. It was a regular churro covered in Oreo pieces and icing, and if you are a cookies and cream fan it is a must! Oreo Churro The second churro we tried is the Valentine’s Day Churro. This one is one of the more unique churros we’ve tried because it tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry! Valentine’s Day Churro The churro is covered in pink and red sprinkles with strawberry and chocolate icing. Each churro is available for a limited time for $6.95. REVIEW: Is A Churro the Most Romantic Snack at Disney World? The Ganachery The Ganachery in Disney Springs is known for some incredible chocolate creations, so Valentine’s Day is a great holiday for them! And on our visit we spotted the Chocolate Heart Piñatas! Heart Pinatas This is proof that Disney wants us to break hearts this Valentine’s Day, just not how you’d think! You can break open this edible piñata for $28, and marshmallows will fall out. We’ve seen some other holiday chocolate here, too, but this is one of our favorites. Here’s Proof Disney Wants You to Break Hearts This Valentine’s Day Frontera Cocina We also stopped by Frontera Cocina because we wanted to try the Valentine’s Day cocktail there! It’s called the Love Potion and is made with Casa Noble blanco tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and pomegranate cordial. Love Potion For $14, we actually really enjoyed this drink! Plus, it had one of the most unique tastes we’ve ever had in a margarita, because it was finished with a rose popcorn salt rim! Love Potion While some may not like the popcorn flavor, we were all for it. REVIEW: A Disney World Margarita Tastes Like Buttery Popcorn?!? Disney Springs Merchandise Updates World of Disney It wouldn’t be a trip to Disney Springs without some new merchandise! We spotted the brand new Soul Mural Tees that feature Soul artwork from around Disney Springs! Soul Mural Tees Above each shirt, there is some info on the artists who created these impressive murals. So grab your favorite mural on a t-shirt to support these artists! The shirts are $39.99. Soul Mural Tees We also found an adorable Alice in Wonderland Pin… Alice in Wonderland Pin …and a Beauty and the Beast Pin featuring all of your favorite humans-turned-household objects! Beauty and the Beast Pin Plus, you can grab a set of 4 Robot Disney Pins. Robot Pins This set has Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Stitch in robot form! Get the Soul mural merchandise online! Trend D We’ve seen some poisonous trinket trays in Disney World, but now there’s one for each park! After spotting the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom trays, you can now pick up the EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios kind! EPCOT Trinket Tray We still aren’t exactly sure what you’d use these for… Hollywood Studios Trinket Tray …except that you should NOT put food on them! Each tray comes with a warning that is may poison food. We Have NO Idea What This Piece of Disney Merch Is…But We Bought It That’s all we’ve got for our what’s new in Disney Springs!

It’s that time again! Magic Kingdom Time to check out all the construction progress in Disney World, that is! This week, we’ve seen walls go up around a classic attraction and continued testing on EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime spectacular. Let’s jump right in! Magic Kingdom Peter Pan’s Flight We noticed some walls up near a classic Fantasyland attraction, Peter Pan’s Flight. The ride remains open, but near the side of the building where the queue can stretch sometimes, these walls are in place. Peter Pan’s Flight This weekend, we noticed a major addition in the form of a HUGE, brown tarp-like thing draped over the side of the building. New Wall Addition As you can see, guests still queue up next to the wall. We’ll keep you updated on any other further developments here! Check out more photos of the walls around this area here! Bonjour Village Gifts Here’s a close-up look at Bonjour Village Gift’s fresh coat of green paint. Bonjour Village Gifts Not much seems to have changed at this shop since last week. Some hedges still remain around the building! Here’s how to pack for your Disney vacation next week! EPCOT Future World We’ve been tracking the construction progress at Innoventions in Future World. As more and more parts of the building were removed, it seemed like it couldn’t become any more barren. Well, that’s now false, because the roof has been removed too. Demolitions Progress in Future World This area of EPCOT is being prepared to welcome new neighborhoods as part of the park’s transformation. In the future, this area will be home to World Celebration Neighborhood! A booth will be MISSING from EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival! Harmonious Nighttime Spectacular Since December, we’ve been sharing updates of the barges that have appeared in World Showcase Lagoon as part of EPCOT’s upcoming fireworks show. And, we’ve seen them being tested in a few different ways. This week, we saw the arm of one of the barges being tested, as it moved in a back and forth motion. Harmonious Barge We’ve also spotted testing of the screens on the sides of these barges. During one of our visits this week, the screen was illuminated. Harmonious Barge This time around, we didn’t see the illuminated grid that we’ve seen during past trips, which is likely used for projection mapping. Go behind-the-scenes of the new fireworks show! Disney Resorts Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort We’ve seen a demolished monorail station, a splash area closed, and more since the Polynesian Resort announced its refurbishment. This week, we were able to grab some photos of walls in place surrounding the buildings that house guest rooms while on our way to snag a dole whip (naturally). Polynesian Refurbishment These walls were surrounding the Rarotonga building. Walls Around Rarotonga This resort is getting a makeover to incorporate Moana-themed elements, and this week we saw Cast Members with new costumes channeling the Disney Princess! Click here to see new Moana-themed costumes! Art of Animation Resort Over at the Art of Animation Resort, the Big Blue Pool is undergoing scheduled maintenance. Big Blue Pool Refurbishment When actually filled with water, you’ll feel like you’re swimming right along with Nemo and friends in the Finding Nemo themed section of the resort. When we visited, the pool was entirely drained. Big Blue Pool Refurbishment The pool is expected to reopen in April, and we’ll keep you updated on any potential changes! Everything That’s Closed in Disney World This Week There weren’t too many changes to check out this week, but rest assured we’ll be back again next week with more details about Disney’s ongoing projects.
