When Disney announced in June 2020 that the popular attraction Splash Mountain would be closed and rethemed into a new attraction inspired by Disney’s film, The Princess and the Frog, we couldn’t wait to see what the Imagineers had in store.
Splash Mountain
Just what would this historic retheme look like, and how would Disney keep the aspects of what so many guests have loved about Splash Mountain over the years? Disney is keeping the details hush-hush, but now we know who is spearheading the project and more details about the updates — thanks to a new interview with one of the Imagineers behind the attraction’s update!
Disney World Annual Passholders are some of the most dedicated theme park fans out there!
Magic Kingdom
These fans (which also includes some of us here at DFB!) are willing to shell out hundreds or thousands each year to visit the magic, and they’re often the ones who show up for big restaurant and ride openings, merchandise drops, and special events. But recently, former Annual Passholders and wannabe Passholders have been facing a big issue — most passes aren’t on sale currently!
Disney is constantly putting out new and creative merchandise!
Mad Tea Party Ears!
Back in the day, we had the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Series, which was a collection that dropped every month featuring Minnie Mouse items inspired by different Disney Parks rides! Now, they’re doing the same thing with our main mouse, Mickey. We’ve already seen Space Mountain and Mad Tea Party collections, and now the latest collection is online!

The ship is debuting and getting christened on June 29th, and the maiden voyage will follow shortly after on July 14th! The ship has Disney’s first ever attraction at sea, the AquaMouse, has a Star Wars themed lounge, and a Frozen restaurant. It also has a unique Marvel dining experience called Avengers: Quantum Encounter, and we just found out which superheroes we can expect to see.
Rope dropping can be a very effective way to avoid waiting in long lines at Disney World for popular rides, because if you’re one of the first people in the park, you’ll be one of the first people in line usually.
Rope dropping can be really popular, though!
But, sometimes there is more than one popular ride that you want to go on in the morning! The most popular rides in a park can get long lines quickly, so you have to make a decision about which one is your priority. Or, something else you can do is NOT head toward the most popular rides and instead knock out 2 or 3 somewhat popular rides instead, marking them off your to-do list! So, let’s talk about your options when it comes to getting the most out of rope dropping a park.
Believe it or not, Disney does give away free things from time to time!
These are so fun to collect and Display!
There is free water in the parks, free gifts during certain events, and even free shipping on merchandise pretty regularly. So, even though the Disney parks and Disney merchandise can be pretty pricy, there are still times when you can score some freebies! And, right now, you can get a FREE GIFT online while shopping for Disney items!
When the Magical Express (a free service provided by Disney that would take guests to and from Orlando International Airport) ended its service, several options stepped up to fill its place.
Sunshine Flyer
The Sunshine Flyer was one of those options. In addition to the Mears Connect buses and rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, guests can take the Sunshine Flyer directly from Orlando International Airport to Disney World and vice versa. Now, the Sunshine Flyer is offering a special deal on rides to and from Disney World.

From their customizable Ear Headbands that we’re praying make their way to Disney World, to a preview of their incredible new fireworks show, we’ve never wanted to make the trip out to Hong Kong more! They just reopened their gates at the end of April, and now they just shared a first look at their new fireworks!
