Changes in Hong Kong could mean the reopening of a Disney Park. ©Disney Hong Kong Disneyland has had QUITE the year. The resort was among the earlier Disney parks to close due to the global health crisis, shuttering in January 2020. Since then, it has reopened, reclosed, re-reopened, and re-reclosed. Now, the situation in Hong Kong is changing once again. According to Reuters, Hong Kong is set to ease COVID-19 restrictions beginning on February 18th. This change will extend dining hours and reopen sports and entertainment facilities. ©Disney Health Secretary Sophia Chan noted, “We are cautiously optimistic on the pandemic.” Hong Kong’s new cases have fallen to below 30 a day from over 80 at the end of January. This change in restrictions would allow theme parks and more to resume operations with required conditions in place. ©Disney This means that as of February 18th, Hong Kong Disneyland will no longer be required to remain closed. We could see an announcement of a reopening in the near future. But as this time, nothing has officially been announced. Hong Kong Disneyland We’ll be keeping an eye out for more news about the restrictions in Hong Kong and any announcement from Hong Kong Disneyland about a reopening.

Less than a week after reopening, the Liberty Square Riverboat is temporarily closed once more. Liberty Belle After being unavailable for months as the Rivers of America area was drained and refurbished, we were excited to see the Liberty Belle back on the water. But after being open for only 5 days, the Riverboat is closed again. While in Magic Kingdom today, we noticed that the entrance to the Liberty Belle was roped off, and a Cast Member stood in front. Liberty Belle Down The sign near the entrance stated that the Riverboat was temporarily closed and urged guests to check back later. The sign does indicate that the attraction’s still operating today, so we’re hoping there’s just some minor issues that need fixing. Liberty Belle Down The Liberty Belle herself is still out on the water! We saw Cast Members onboard as the boat remained stationary in the Rivers of America. Liberty Belle Down We’re hoping there’s just a few things that need smoothing out and that the Liberty Belle will be back in no time!

Hello, DFB friends! Welcome back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Disney’s Hollywood Studios We took a trip to the park yesterday to see what was new. Here’s what we found! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates Legends of Hollywood At Legends of Hollywood, we spotted some new Toy Story-inspired jewelry! We found Pandora charms with the Toy Story Land logo and Slinky. Toy Story Land and Slinky Dog Pandora charms The Toy Story Land charm is $75 and features the area’s logo with colorful string lights. Toy Story Land charm The Slinky charm is $80, and our favorite toy dog bounces across both the front and back of the charm. Slinky Dog Pandora charm We’ve seen the Toy Story Land charm online before, but we’re happy it’s in the parks now, too! We’ll let you know if we spot these anywhere else. Once Upon a Time Right next door in Once Upon a Time, we found two new goodies! This Mickey balloon hat looks pretty similar to a cap we spotted last year, but it has red, blue, and yellow balloons. Mickey Balloon Hat On the back, it reads “Disney Parks.” This subtle Disney accessory costs $27.99. Mickey Balloon Hat We also found a Villains hoodie that we’ve previously seen in Downtown Disney over at Disneyland Resort. It features colorful outlines of Scar, Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, and more. Villains Hoodie Here’s a closer look at that chaotically evil pattern! Villains Hoodie This hoodie costs $44.99. Have You Seen These New Floral Minnie Ears? Disney’s Hollywood Studios General Updates While walking around the park, we spotted some Mickey, Star Wars, and Toy Story balloons.

Though there are plenty of allergy-friendly dining options around Walt Disney World, if you want an easy, classic snack (think: Mickey pretzel), finding one isn’t always quite so simple. Allergy Menu Options And that’s where Disney’s Snacks With Character come in handy! These pre-packaged snacks were developed for guests who need gluten-free, nut-free, and other allergy-friendly snacks! And if you’ve grown a lil tired of the same ol’ cookies and bars, THREE new varieties in the Snacks With Character line have arrived at Walt Disney World! We spotted White Cheddar Corn Puffs, Honey Barbecue Popped Potato Chips, and Cinnamon Swirl Mini Rice Crisps at Ink and Paint at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort! All of these snacks are nut-free and gluten-free! Snacks With Character And you know we tried them! First, we ripped open the bag of White Cheddar Corn Puffs, though it was kinda hard to do so because the Minnie on the bag is so darn cute in her blue dress! White Cheddar Corn Puffs — Snacks With Character The puffs themselves are less cute, of course, but looks are less important than taste. How did they taste?! Honestly, a lot like other cheese puffs we’ve had (think Pirate’s Booty), though in the scheme of all cheese puffs, there were on the milder side, flavor-wise. And while a lot of cheese puffs are primarily air, we found these to be quite the substantial snack! These White Cheddar Corn Puffs are $3.49, and all-in-all, these were our FAVORITE of the new Snacks With Character! White Cheddar Corn Puffs Next, we sampled the Honey Barbecue Popped Potato Chips, which feature our favorite hyuck-ster Goofy on the bag! Honey BBQ Chips — Snacks With Character We’ll be honest, you’re not getting a TON of chips in this bag, it only weighs 1.75 ounces, and like the Corn Puffs, these are sizable, substantial chips. These had a nice little bite of BBQ flavor, but we did wish they had a bit MORE of said flavor. However, they’d be good for kiddos who don’t want to be overwhelmed by spice. Like the Corn Puffs, these chips are $3.49 per bag. BBQ Potato Chips Finally, we grabbed the bag with our pal Mickey Mouse on it, and tried the Cinnamon Swirl Mini Rice Crisps, which are a bit pricier at $5.49 per bag. Cinnamon Swirl Mini Rice Crisps — Snacks With Character These reminded us of your classic puffy cereal with just a hint of cinnamon flavor! We liked them less than the savory snacks, but they’re a FABULOUS option for little ones to snack on throughout the day at the parks. Cinnamon Swirl Rice Crisps It’s always nice to see allergy-friendly options at Disney World, and the new additions to the Snacks With Character line of treats are a welcome sight, especially for kiddos who can’t ALWAYS eat everything they see. A special treat with their favorite Disney friend on it?! Now, that’s FUN! And when we spot more new treats around Disney World, we’ll be sure to review them to let you know if they’re right for you and your family! 9 Disney World Treats We Loved as Kids That Still TOTALLY Slap Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

The global health crisis put a LOT on hold in Disney and beyond. Italy Pavilion At the beginning of the situation last year, Disney had to suspend its Cultural Representative Program. And transferred Cast Members are filling many of the roles typically held but Cultural Representatives in World Showcase. This program typically brings in individuals from around the world to work as Cast Members. Now, it seems some cultural representatives may return to the park this year. We noticed on the Patina Restaurant Group website that they are now hiring certain positions for the Cultural Representative Program. Patina owns several Disney World restaurants including the upcoming Space 220 and many of the dining locations in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. Patina Screenshot Currently, Patina is accepting applications from those of Italian nationality who are looking to take place in the Cultural Representative Program for EPCOT’s Italy. Once this program returns, we should see the return of many International Cast Members to the World Showcase. Patina has the following positions available for those of Italian nationality: Kiosk Host or Hostess, Restaurant Host or Hostess, Restaurant Server, and Culinary. Via Napoli Outdoor Seating Now, just because they are hiring does not mean that the Cultural Representative Program has a set return date. The hiring notice says, “Our next selection will be held depending on the evolution of the sanitary situation. We will recruit for departures starting from 2021.” Italy Pavilion So, could we see the Cultural Representative Program return to EPCOT this year? We sure hope so!

Enter Phantom Manor on this Haunted "Ride & Learn" | Disneyland Paris View the full article

There are TONS of Disney movies that are represented with their own attractions in the Disney Parks. Cinderella Castle But have you ever wished for an attraction based on that one movie that you LOVE even though it’s underrated? Well, we asked YOU, our readers, to tell us which Disney movies deserve their own attractions! We put together a list of the most popular answers we got from our recent Instagram poll, and we have to say, we agree with a LOT of them. Disney, please give these movies some more love in the parks! Tangled By FAR, the most popular answer was Tangled! A lot of you said that the bathrooms are nice, but they are not enough, and like yeah, girl totally deserves more than a couple of toilets. They are some of the most gorgeous bathrooms on property, but not exactly the thing you go to a Disney park for! Hellooooo Pretty Tangled Bathrooms One reader mentioned a slow-moving boat ride that ends with the floating lanterns, and we haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Kinda sounds similar to the Tangled attraction in Shanghai. Who doesn’t want to follow along with Rapunzel on the BEST. DAY. EVER?! The Germany pavilion was originally supposed to have a boat ride, but it never happened. Now’s their chance! We love the bathrooms Disney, but as our readers put it, it’s not enough! Coco Coco was just about tied with Tangled for the most votes! This Pixar movie used to be represented in the parks when Mariachi Cobre presented The Story of Coco in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion, but currently, that show is unavailable. Dante Chalk Art Several readers said that Coco should replace the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Cabelleros. And we’re not gonna lie Grand Fiesta tour has been struggling lately. For quite a few weeks now, the Three Caballeros animatronics saga has continued to flourish. Starting out with a plant replacing Donald Duck, we are now to the point of cardboard cutouts of ALL three characters! We would love to see more Coco love in the parks for sure! Big Hero 6 Another underrated movie that got lots of love in the responses was Big Hero 6. We are SO down for Baymax to take us on a tour of San Fransokyo with the whole gang. ©Disney There are many events in this movie, so Disney could go in so many directions with an attraction based on this film. It could focus on Baymax, and we could create our own journey with him, or it could be a thrill ride with Callaghan chasing us with microbots! The possibilities are endless. And other Disney parks have Big Hero 6 attractions, so we know it’s possible!! Up There’s no doubt that Up is a heartwarming movie, and would make an incredible attraction. Recently, we’ve seen a lot of merchandise from the movie, so it’s got to be on Disney’s radar. ‘Up’ Balloons There are so many ways to go with this one! It could be a sweet dark ride that takes guests through different scenes in the movie, or something more adventurous like flying in Carl’s house. No matter what this attraction would be, we would need to bring tissues. Anyone else tear up just listening to Carl and Ellie’s theme? Just us? WALL-E Ok, hear us out. When several readers pointed out this movie, all we could think was that a WALL-E attraction would fit PERFECTLY in The Land Pavilion in EPCOT. The Land Pavilion The film is all about taking care of the planet, and what better place to have it than next to Living With the Land? Plus, you can’t deny how adorable WALL-E and EVE are. Maybe one day we’ll see this become a reality! Moana We also saw the movie Moana a lot in your responses. Luckily, this Disney princess film is getting its own attraction in EPCOT! Journey of Water Concept Art ©Disney Coming to EPCOT, the Journey of Water attraction will allow guests to follow an exploration trail and interact with several water features. Guests will also learn about the importance of the water cycle, and the story of Moana will be a part of that! There isn’t much information on when this attraction will open, but there IS a Moana attraction on its way! Learn more about the upcoming Moana attraction here! Mary Poppins Readers also mentioned Mary Poppins! Well…Disney announced a Mary Poppins-based attraction back in 2019. However, it has since been taken out of the EPCOT Experience, which showcases all of the new experiences coming after the EPCOT transformation. Mary Poppins and Polly Disney announced in September that the Mary Poppins attraction (as well as the Spaceship Earth refurbishment) would be postponed. Disney did not give a timeline for how long we’ll be waiting on this attraction. Hopefully, we’ll get to walk down Cherry Tree Lane with Mary and Bert, and tour the Banks’ house one day! This is the TOUGHEST Disney Question We’ve EVER Asked! How Would You Have Answered? We love hearing from our readers and your responses bring us so much joy. Who knows, maybe we will be experiencing some of these rides in the parks one day? Wouldn’t that be cool?! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

EPCOT is home to thrill rides, adventures through Arendelle, and a journey around the world. Every attraction seat offers a good view or a thrilling ride. However, not every seat is created equal! Test Track Some people like to experience the thrill of riding in the back row of a roller coaster. Others want to see the whole picture by sitting in the front! You want to make sure you’re having the best experience when riding an attraction for the first time or the hundredth time. We’ve put together an ultimate guide to the BEST seats on each ride in EPCOT! Future World Journey into Imagination with Figment Each ride vehicle on Journey into Imagination features two rows. The right and left side both have an equal opportunity in seeing the main attractions in each scene. However, the front row will have a better view when you first enter a scene. Journey into Imagination with Figment We suggest putting small kiddos in the front so they don’t have to peek around a tall person’s head to see the action. Living with the Land This slow-moving ride can seat several rows of people per boat. Every guest will get a chance to see most of the scenes while the boat is traveling through each section. That said, the front row will get to see the plants, films, and scenes first without looking through several rows of people. Sit towards the outside of the boat if you want to see things up-close! Living with the Land Boats with Plastic Barriers Really the only time which side of the boat you get matters is if you have a particular plant in mind you’d like to see. The righthand side of the boat also gets a slightly better view of the laboratories as you pass them. Currently, the boats have plastic windows installed to create a barrier between travel groups. It can be difficult to see through the plastic so we suggest sitting as far towards the front as possible. Mission: SPACE This is a rocket simulator ride that imitates the feeling of lifting off into space. Each seat faces an individual screen so every passenger gets the same “view” of space. The experiences are fairly similar no matter what seat you’re placed in. The difference is that each person is given a role like a navigator, pilot, commander, or engineer. You can choose which role you prefer before sitting in the vehicle. (Spoiler, but each positions gets to do about the same amount of button pushing!) Mission: SPACE P.S. There are two versions of the Mission: SPACE. The Orange Team experience is much more intense and you’ll experience G-forces up to 2.5G. The Green Team version doesn’t use spinning effects so it’s a lot easier to handle if you’re prone to motion sickness. The “missions” are different depending on which side you choose. This decision will determine the best experience for you! Spaceship Earth Spaceship Earth is one of those rides where every seat is a decent seat. Similar to Figment, the cars hold four guests in two rows, but the viewing experience s largely the same. The attraction offers scenes on both the right and left sides throughout the ride and the conveyer belt of cars will direct you towards the action. There aren’t any front or back rows so no one is obstructing your view either. That said, some iconic scenes will be located on different sides. If you really want a picture of the Steve Wozniak animatronic, then sit on the left side! Eying that fab lab tech with the yellow tights? Sit on the right. Spaceship Earth Ride Vehicle One thing to note is that the front seat is smaller than the back seat. So, if you’re sitting two adults together, you might be more comfortable in the back row. Soarin’ Around the World Soarin’ consists of three large rows of seating. When you’re “in-flight” the three rows rise up to the screen and are sort of stacked on top of each other. Row number 1 ends up being the top row and gives the best view possible. Your view isn’t obstructed by dangling feet from the other guests and you get a great view of the screen. Plus you get the most “thrill” of the whoosh up at the beginning. Soarin’ Seating Row number 3 is the bottom row and closest to the ground. It’s a good choice for guests who are wary of heights. Also, feel free to request Concourse B as opposed to A or C. This will seat you towards the middle of the screen instead of the sides. The side seating wasn’t too much of an issue with the OLD Soarin’ — Soarin’ Over California, but in the new show, the warp of the screen is much more noticeable on the sides. You’ll notice this most in the scene flying over the Eiffel Tower — on the sides, the tower appears wonky and bent! You can tell a Cast Member your row preference when it’s time to assign rows. You may have to wait for the next flight, but they will most likely accommodate your preference. Test Track This is the only thrill ride in EPCOT (for now!) so you might want to make the most of it! Each car holds six guests over two rows. The exterior seats will offer a good view when you race outside for your test run but truthfully all the seats are what and what here! Test Track Those who are into thrill rides (or want a good view and their hair tossed around) might want to sit in the front row. You can also place timid passengers towards the middle of the row so they feel a little more protected. Turtle Talk with Crush Turtle Talk with Crush is an interactive show where Crush jokes with kids and their families in real-time. As of right now, the show is temporarily suspended. When the show is playing, we advise having your little ones sit up front on the carpeted area. This will give them a better chance to talk to Crush and get a closer look at him. Turtle Talk with Crush We get that audience participation isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. You might just want to watch the show and give Crush’s comedy routine a try. For shy little ones (and adults!), we might suggest sitting towards the middle or back. The Seas with Nemo and Friends On this ride, guests board a “clam-mobile” that sits up to three people. The ride vehicle is an omnimover, which you may recognize from rides like The Haunted Mansion. Basically, an omnimover can turn left or right throughout the ride. The Seas with Nemo & Friends Much like Spaceship Earth, whether you sit on the left and right side, the experience is practically the same. The ride vehicles are designed so everyone gets a good view! World Showcase Frozen Ever After The ride based on Frozen is usually the most popular ride at EPCOT and experiences the longest wait times. This a boat ride and set up like Pirates of the Caribbean except the boats are notably smaller (they recycled the old Viking ships from Maelstrom that used to live in the same spot). You’ll calmly float through each scene that tells the story of the movie. The best views are offered at the very front row where you don’t have to strain your neck over other guests. This is especially true if you want a good view of the highlight of the ride — Elsa singing “Let It Go.” Frozen Ever After Boats with Plexiglass Another consideration is if you’re looking to nab the on-ride photo. Back rows are often completely blocked by the guests in front (when boats are fully loaded). We highly suggest the front row especially now that plexiglass has been installed between rows. The plastic is already difficult to see through and sometimes drops of water obscure your view. Check out this goof on Frozen Ever After here! Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros Again, this is a boat ride with multiple rows. Here, the boats ARE much more similar in side to Pirates of the Caribbean or “it’s a small world.” Plexiglass hasn’t been installed between rows on this attraction yet. However, the front row remains the best row on The Three Caballeros. You get a great view of the Aztec mountain when you float through the Mexico Pavilion and clearly see more scenes! Gran Fiesta Tour Want a good view of Donald and the gang on stage? Sit on the left (though they’ve been replaced by cutouts recently!). We also think the back row can be cozy and relaxing. You can sit back and relax while you pass by the fiesta. Be sure to look UP near the end too — the fireworks are one of the coolest parts of this ride! Check out the latest change to the Three Caballeros here! The American Adventure The American Adventure is housed on an enormous stage in a large theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion. The show uses giant projection screens and animatronics to tell the story. We suggest sitting in the middle rows so you can see every element at once. But not too far away! You want to be able to see the animatronics clearly. The American Adventure Those who love animatronics might want to sit up front! There are a lot of famous figures in this show and it’s fun to see the detailing. Movie Theatre Seating There are three attractions in EPCOT that use standard movie theatre seating. The “best” seat will depend on your preferences when you go see a show. You might love to be in front to get close to the action. Or, sit towards the back so you can see the whole screen. These are the attractions that use movie theatre seating: Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along Impressions de France Awesome Planet Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival We do suggest sitting in the middle rows for shows with 3D effects. Sitting too close makes it hard to see the effects and might make you go cross-eyed. The Pixar Short Film Festival uses 3D elements so keep that in mind! Circle-Vision 360 Shows Circle-Vision 360 is a filming technique that Disney used for two attractions in EPCOT. The locations are filmed on all sides so the movie can be projected in a giant circle around the audience and everyone can get a great view in the round. Most of the action is happening towards the front wall but you’ll notice some scenes take place behind you. Stand towards the center of the room so you can at least see the front half of the room. Then, you can easily rotate towards the back as needed! There are two Circle-Vision shows at EPCOT: Canada Far and Wide Reflections of China (Note this is still set to be replaced with Wondrous China at some point in the future). Canada Far and Wide Screens Generally, Disney does their best to make every seat a good seat. Some seats are better than others, but this is mainly up to your preferences! When in doubt, sit towards the back for thrill rides because it can be much more exciting. Boat rides are best in the front row and on the outside seats. And, sit towards the middle of the theatre for 3D shows! (but again — if that’s the sort of experience you’re after!) Remember, you can tell a Cast Member your seating preferences when it’s time to board. You may have to wait for the next vehicle, but they will most likely be able to accommodate your request!

There’s just something in the air right now…the sweet, sweet scent of Valentine’s Day treats at Disney World! Valentine Ice Cream Sandwich We’ve been sipping on Joffrey’s Fairytale Love Latte for a few weeks now, and today, we tried ANOTHER new Valentine’s Day themed coffee at Disney World! While strolling around Disney’s Riviera Resort, we stopped by Le Petite Cafe for a caffeine fix and grabbed the Amore Glace. This is a frozen espresso beverage blended with milk, mocha, caramel, and hazelnut. It’s basically every latte flavor in one drink! Amore Glace If you’re the kind of person who genuinely cannot decide what flavor coffee drink to get, this just may be the thing for you! But hazelnut fans may find themselves wanting more of that toasted nut flavor, we could barely find it as we drank! Caramel and mocha were the strongest flavors, followed by coffee. Amore Glace And this drink was a bit on the sweet side, though the final taste on our tongues was coffee, so everything balanced out on the end. It may have been a bit on the sugary side because of all the whipped cream (which was topped with some pretty pink sprinkles). We could’ve actually done without the whip, to be honest! Amore Glace from Le Petit Cafe Though we did wish there was a bit more hazelnut flavor, we’ve been impressed by the coffee beverages at Le Petite Cafe in the past and also thoroughly enjoyed this one! If you’re ready to fall in amore with the Amore Glace (which is also available as the Amore Latte!), you can find at the Riviera Resort for $5.99! When more limited-edition treats arrive around Walt Disney World, you know we’re gonna review them! Here’s a FULL List of Disney’s Valentine’s Day Treats!

Ready to go on a virtual trip around EPCOT? Spaceship Earth We’re constantly visiting the Disney World theme parks and more to see what’s new. During our most recent visit to EPCOT we spotted NEW Minnie ears, saw that a spot that JUST opened was CLOSED(!!), and got a look at lots of construction going on around the park. Join us for a virtual trip around this experimental prototype community of tomorrow to see all of the things that are new there! EPCOT Food Updates Cool Wash Just a few days ago, we saw that Cool Wash (which is over by Test Track) was OPEN! At the time, the Cast Member told us the location should be open throughout the rest of the Festival of the Arts. At Cool Wash guests can typically get some unique, Create-Your-Own Slushies! Cool Wash But, during our most recent trip, we noticed that Cool Wash was not open. We’re not sure why there was such a sudden change. But, this spot is typically only open seasonally, so perhaps it’s not that surprising. Cool Wash Closed It looks like Cool Wash may be open or closed depending on the day or time you visit. If visiting Cool Wash is something you want to do, be sure to check whether it’s open and serving guests when you visit. Click here to see more about our recent visit to Cool Wash when it was open! EPCOT Merchandise Updates Mouse Gear In terms of merchandise, at Mouse Gear we found the NEW Minnie Bride Ears. These are have a puffy bow, veil, and eve little pearls! Bride Ears Whether you’re planning a wedding, recently married, or totally single and just love the look of these ears, you can snag them now! Click here to see more about these bride ears! EPCOT Construction Updates and More Harmonious EPCOT is set to get a fabulous NEW nighttime spectacular in the future called Harmonious. We’ve seen quite a few updates about this show recently including some testing going on with some of the tech being used in the show and a behind-the-scenes look at some of the pieces that will be used. Harmonious Barges Today, we spotted some of the barges that will be used in the show being worked on. Harmonious Barge One of the arms on one of the barges was also being tested and moving around (we’ve seen those arms be tested before as well). Harmonious Barge We’re definitely looking forward to seeing more about this show in the future. Click here to see more about this new nighttime show! The Land Pavilion Over by the Land pavilion, we spotted some poles and wires in place behind the snack cart there. Poles and Wires We’re not exactly sure what this is for, but we’ll be on the lookout for more updates. Canada In the Canada pavilion, we saw that the stairs to the upper level were closed off. Stairs Closed But, guests could still use the ramp to access the upper level and the shops there. Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts The Festival of the Arts is still going on around EPCOT and during our most recent trip, we spotted artists working on some new, beautiful chalk art. Chalk Art We’ve seen some seriously incredible chalk art throughout the festival so it was great to see some more. Click here to see photos and videos from our first day at the Festival! We also saw a Disney PhotoPass photographer taking some photos over at the Festival of the Arts photo op near Mouse Gear. Photo Op So, you can head there to get some great photos of you and your friends and family taken. Click here to see where to find ALL of the photo ops at the Festival of the Arts! If you love to paint, you’ll definitely want to check out the paint by number murals that pop up during the Festival of the Arts. You’ll get to pick up a small amount of paint and contribute to a large piece of art that other guests will work on as well during their visits. Looking Great! The mural that was up during our visit was looking great and almost finished when we passed by recently! Click here to see more about the paint by number murals at the Festival of the Arts! Innoventions Finally, we got a little look at some of the construction going on at Innoventions. As part of the EPCOT Transformation a LOT of things are changing or going away. Here’s a peek at some of the construction going on. Construction Just for reference, here’s what that same area looked like not too long ago. Construction Looks like things are moving forward. And that’s all for us from EPCOT! We’ll be back at this park and other spots all around Disney World soon to give you all the latest updates. Be sure to look out for more posts from us.

If you’re heading to Disney World over Valentine’s Day weekend, we have good news! Animal Kingdom Some more Park Pass availability has opened up! Disney implemented the reservation system last year in order to control capacity — guests must make a reservation at their first park of the day to be admitted. We’d previously seen Park Passes filling up for this weekend, but now there’s some availability again. Annual Passholders’ options are still pretty limited. But where all 4 parks were previously booked for Valentine’s Day, EPCOT is now open. On February 13th, guests can choose between Disney’s Animal Kingdom or EPCOT, and on the 15th, they can book at either EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Park Pass Availability Resort Guests have a lot more luck. Previously, they had limited availability most of this week and next. Now, guests can visit any of the 4 parks any day except Valentine’s Day, where they’ll have to choose between EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Park Pass Availability As usual, Theme Park Ticket Holders and Resort Guests have similar options. Theme Park Ticket Holders also have access to all 4 parks except on Valentine’s Day, where only EPCOT or Disney’s Animal Kingdom are available. Park Pass Availability As always, we’ll keep you posted as this calendar continues to shift. Stay tuned to DFB! Check Out What We Know About Park Hopping in Disney Right Now!
