Mischief and magic is afoot at Disneyland Paris! As part of the 25th Anniversary celebration, guests can now create their very own adventure story and participate in an exciting show unlike anything before at the resort. It all starts with “Disney Pirate or Princess: Make Your Choice!” This interactive show starts at opposite ends of the park – a blossoming, colorful Disney Princesses float journeys through Fantasyland while a huge galleon boarded by scallywags sails down Main Street, U.S.A., accompanied by an acrobatic crew of pirates. Both worlds come together at Central Plaza in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle for the finale. Guests are then invited to choose a side and take part in one of two routines alongside their favorite Disney characters, all to the same playful melody for one grand ending. The entire show takes place several times a day, so guests can switch sides for a different experience later in their visit. During the Festival of Pirates and Princesses, guests will now see sequences from Pirates of the Caribbean during the new Disney Illuminations show and may even spot Jack Sparrow in Adventureland with his pirate crew. Pirates and princesses alike can take part in face painting or even create an entirely new look with transformations in Adventureland and Fantasyland, not to mention meeting their favorite pirate or princess (or both!). There’s so much to do and see at Disneyland Paris during the 25th Anniversary celebration, and Festival of Pirates and Princesses is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more on the new Marvel Summer of Super Heroes starting June 10. View the full article

Just in time for Pixar Fest launching April 13 at the Disneyland Resort, the Disneyland Monorail has received a special, Pixar-themed enhancement!

Some of my favorite memories with friends and family were created at local parks where we could play sports, explore playgrounds and host picnics. As more people move to urban areas, it’s more important than ever to have green spaces where kids, families, and friends can enjoy time with each other and connect with nature. I’m delighted to share with you that The Walt Disney Company will make a $1.5 million contribution to the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) to support the Meet Me at the Park program. As part of the program, NRPA and Disney will provide local park and recreation agencies in all 50 states, U.S. territories and Washington, D.C. with the opportunity to apply for a grant that will help increase the amount of time children and families spend at their local parks and improve access to safe, fun and unique play spaces. Additionally, this is the fourth year Meet Me at the Park has come to life to celebrate Earth Month when Disney and NRPA team up to help fund local park improvement projects in 16 U.S. cities. That’s where you come in. YOU and your friends can get involved in the Meet Me at the Park Earth Month campaign by voting for projects in 15 select cities, including Los Angeles, Orlando and New York, to receive $20,000 in grant funding. You also can nominate any city or town for the chance to receive a separate $20,000 grant to support a local park within that community. Voting is taking place now and will continue through April 30. You can vote daily online at www.nrpa.org/DisneyMeetMeAtThePark. The park project with the most votes in each city at the end of the month will receive $20,000 in grant funding. Similarly, the write-in-city with the most nominations at the end of the month will also receive $20,000. This Earth Month (and every month) I hope you have a chance to celebrate Earth at your favorite park! While you are there, take a selfie to encourage your friends to vote, and share it using the hashtags #MeetMeAtThePark, #Parkies and #CelebrateEarth. Actions big or small can help to protect the planet! View the full article

The Disneyland Railroad was one of the opening-day attractions at Disneyland park on July 17, 1955. Walt Disney held a lifelong passion for trains, one that was further inspired by the encouragement and collections of fellow railroad enthusiasts and Disney Legends Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston. More than 60 years later, the Disneyland Railroad continues to carry passengers on a grand circle tour around Walt’s original Magic Kingdom. In the early morning, Disneyland Railroad technicians and conductors inspect every vehicle and length of track before a new day’s operation. The beautiful north bank of the Rivers of America creates a rustic scene as guests travel across the elevated trestle. A steam engine chugs through the jungles of Adventureland, a stretch of line that hasn’t changed much since Walt signed off on the design more than 60 years ago. For train enthusiasts interested in an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the history of the Disneyland Railroad, “The Grand Circle Tour” offers a unique persepective, including the opportunity to board the lavish parlor car, the Lilly Belle. On your next visit to the Disneyland Resort, be sure to sit back, relax and soak in the views of Disneyland park aboard the Disneyland Railroad! View the full article

I recently shared some of my favorite photo-worthy locales at Disney’s BoardWalk, Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, Disney’s Old Key West Resort and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House. But, other Disney Vacation Club Resorts also offer a variety of “can’t miss” patterned and three-dimensional photo op locations (like the one above, taken on the outdoor patio at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort). Here are a few more of my favorite #WallsofDVC and where you can find them at Walt Disney World Resort. Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Head to this tropical paradise to find three-dimensional designs with eye-popping patterns. Get lost wandering the Resort and you’ll find plenty. Head towards the stunning over-the-water Bungalows and you might just stumble upon this picture-perfect spot! This wall offers a great background for a selfie, or a full-on modeling session with friends. Play around and enjoy these fun lines. This subtle chevron pattern is located on the walls at Aloha Isle. These cuties are standing right below the sign for this snack stop, but if you’re more than 4 feet tall you might not be able to recreate this exact framing. Regardless, this photo locale gives you and your bestie the perfect excuse to indulge in some Dole Whips – you’ll need them as “props.” Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Wilderness Lodge offers décor that’s inspired by America’s National Parks, making it the perfect place to go if you’re looking for photos with an outdoorsy feel. Natural elements like this rock formation, found by the Silver Creek Springs Pool, offer rich texture and a coloring that complements a pair of rose gold ears! If log cabin chic is more your style, mosey on over to Salon by the Springs. Here you’ll find a backdrop that’ll have you channeling your inner Davy Crockett. These are just a few of my favorites, but there’s so many other great backdrops to choose from – I’ve barely scratched the surface. Be sure to share your own favorite photos taken at Disney Vacation Club Resorts on Instagram! View the full article

We’ve got all the latest in our What’s New at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom! Come along while we share lots of menu changes, loads of 20th Anniversary merchandise, and a few construction updates! Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life Updated Menus and Eats at Disney’s Animal Kingdom The Smiling Crocodile has dropped the Salmon BLT from the menu, but the Turkey BLT and Pimento-Cheese BLT happily remain! No more Salmon BLT at The Smiling Crocodile Thanks for sticking around, Pimento Cheese BLT! Pimento Cheese BLT The Feeding Ground has added Frozen Lemonade with Mango Rum or Raspberry Vodka. (See where else you can get a brand new spiked drink in Animal Kingdom!) Spiked Frozen Lemonade at The Feeding Ground At Tamu Tamu Refreshments, the Chocolate Waffle has been removed and replaced by a Malva Cake Sundae. Malva Cake Sundae at Tamu Tamu Refreshments Malva Cake The Viperwolf Paw we told you about at Pongu Pongu and the Pandora Ice Cream Cart has been changed. It’s no longer a paw shape, and it’s now called an Almond-Cinnamon Bun. It still looks yummy, but we miss the fun shape. Almond Cinnamon Bun at Pongu Pongu and Pandora Ice Cream Cart Pizzafari has seen a reboot of its menu. Flatbreads have been replaced by circular pizzas once again (save for the Shrimp Flatbread, which thankfully remains!). They’ve also removed the Cheeseburger and the Mediterranean options and added a Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza. Pizzafari Menu Updates Both Hearts of Romaine salads are gone from the menu. Now there’s a basic Caesar Salad with Chicken. Shrimp Flatbread still at Pizzafari They’ve also changed the dessert from Tiramisu to Cannoli Cake! Cannoli Cake now at Pizzafari Meanwhile at delicious Nomad Lounge, the Brisket Poutine is still off the Small Plate Menu. Such a bummer (and a big loss for the menu, since it’s awesome!). No more Brisket Poutine at Nomad Lounge Over at Yak and Yeti Restaurant, the 44 Farms Burger is off the menu, and the Chef’s Fresh Catch is on. Menu Update at Yak and Yeti Restaurant Harambe Market has removed the Tikka Masala Chicken and the Grilled Vegetable Stack. R.I.P. Vegetable Stack! They’ve added a Roasted Vegetables entree to compensate for the absent Stack. The Corn Battered Beef and Pork Sausage has been replaced by simple Pork Sausage (no longer battered, according to the cast member, who says the only battered option left is the kids’ corn dog). And the Beef and Lamb entree (which was a gyro flatbread) is now an actual Gyro. Harambe Market Menu Update And the Safari Cake has replaced the Warm Malva Cake here. Harambe Market Menu Update Flame Tree Barbecue has dropped the Lime Mousse dessert and added Banana Maple Cake. New dessert at Flame Tree BBQ. And all over the park, you can now find that the Lion King-themed snacks and treats have newly updated packaging. Lion King Treats available at various locations Zebra Stripe Popcorn Striped Rice Krispie Treat Spotted Rice Krispy Treat Gummi Spiders Gummi Insects Confetti Popcorn Animal Crackers Eight Spoon Cafe has changed the format of its Baked Macaroni and Cheese. Previously served in a black souffle cup, it’s now served in a cardboard boat. Eight Spoon Cafe Menu And while it looks quite a bit different, on our most recent visit, it was still baked with lots of cheese and just as flavorful. Baked Mac and Cheese with Sweet Chili Shrimp It’s all a little more mixed together now, rather than layered like it was previously. Ultimately, this makes it a little easier to eat, since there’s room to move the toppings around. Baked Mac and Cheese with Shrimp The Dawa Bar has added the Ngumu Jungle Juice served on the rocks rather than frozen. Dawa Bar Menu Caravan Road has removed the Asian Noodle Salad. The menu is now just two items: Teriyaki Beef Slider and Edamame. Caravan Road Menu And Drinkwallah has reopened with the same menu as before its renovation. Drinkwallah Menu Disney’s Animal Kingdom Construction Speaking of the Drinkwallah reno, check out the fantastic new look! Drinkwallah is open! Drinkwallah has reopened The entrance is bit more opened up, making it a little easier to get in and out. Drinkwallah entrance Drinkwallah ordering area Of course the Animal Kingdom details we expect are everywhere — including these auspicious garlands over the ordering counter. But I do kind of miss walking into an actual structure versus having this be a walk-up window like it is now. Drinkwallah details Drinkwallah behind the counter And if you’re looking for it, we’ve found the Way Out! See ya, Drinkwallah! Over in the Tree of Life Garden there are some construction walls, and some animal habitats are blocked off. Walls up in the Tree of Life Garden and some animal viewing areas Pardon our appearance!

At Walt Disney World Resort, we are always looking for ways to wow our guests with new technology that enhances their experience. The My Disney Experience app is a perfect example, with recently introduced features like mobile order and online check-in that are providing families and friends with additional choices to make their vacation even more enjoyable and convenient. Today, we are unveiling another exciting app feature: a digital key. Coming soon to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, a new feature in the My Disney Experience app will allow guests to quickly unlock their hotel room using a digital key on their mobile devices, providing them with another seamless room entry option that brings added ease and flexibility to their experience. Guests can also use their digital key to unlock the hotel entrance gate and common area doors requiring a key, which may include pools, fitness centers, elevators and club level lounges. Arriving travel parties that have checked in online may even use their digital key to bypass the need to visit the front desk, giving them the opportunity to go directly to their room when it is ready and start their vacation even faster. The feature represents the latest evolution of keyless room entry, which we began offering with the MagicBand, the unique all-in-one device that effortlessly connects the vacation choices guests make in My Disney Experience. Guests may use either or both options to enter their room during their stay. So how does it work? To use their digital key, guests can opt in and activate the feature on their check-in day through a brief set up process in the app. To enter their room, guests tap the “Unlock Door” button and then simply hold their phone against the door lock. Check out the video below to see a sneak peek of the feature in action. Bluetooth®-enabled mobile devices with the latest version of the My Disney Experience app are required to take advantage of a digital key for room entry. And don’t forget to wear your MagicBand for all other uses including park entry, FastPass+ redemption, room charges and more. We will have more to share soon about the digital key feature and other future enhancements to the app, so be sure to read the Disney Parks Blog for the latest information and updates on My Disney Experience – your one-stop-shop for all things Walt Disney World during your visit.
