WOW. It has been quite the week for Disney news!
EPCOT
We’ve celebrated being Halfway to the Holidays with some HUGE holiday announcements for Disney World and Disneyland, the 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has started, tons of spots have reopened or will reopen soon, and MORE news has been shared. Ready to get all caught up with the latest and greatest Disney news? Let’s dive right in!
We are SO happy fireworks are back in Disney World. After all, is a trip REALLY complete without them?
Fireworks are BACK!
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you’re probably hoping to take a gander at Happily Ever After or EPCOT Forever. If that’s the case, you’ll want to know the showtimes for these spectaculars. Well, we’re here to help with the latest fireworks hours for August!
As the summer season continues, Disney World has adjusted their operating hours to accommodate the additional guests looking to enjoy the parks.
Cinderella Castle
While the park hours have been more or less the same for the past several weeks, we just discovered an update on Disney World’s website that shows the parks will actually have their hours EXTENDED in the coming weeks and months.
October 1st, 2021, is going to be a BIG day in Disney World for many reasons.
Cinderella Castle
October 1st marks the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris, the opening of more booths at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and much more! One thing we previously didn’t have information about is what the park hours would be on October 1st. But, now that’s changed!
Restaurant reopenings are all the rage at Disney World lately!
The Wave…at California Grill
The Wave…of American Flavors is a restaurant normally located in the lobby of the Contemporary, but since it’s undergoing a long refurbishment beginning today, July 16th, they have a new temporary location! You can now find The Wave Breakfast at California Grill in the Contemporary, and we’re giving you a first look at what the Wave looks like in their new spot.
Today, July 16th, 2021, is a very special day — this is the day that Disneyland’s reimagined Jungle Cruise attraction officially reopens!
New scene on Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise
We’ve already gotten a first look at the changes that have been made at Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise and we’ve been sharing all the details we know about the changes coming to this classic ride on both coasts. But, today we spotted something EXTRA special (and delicious) you can grab in Disneyland Park to commemorate the reopening of the ride and just celebrate your love for all things Jungle Cruise. Warning: once you see this you might not be able to resist buying it!
Planning on visiting Disneyland tomorrow, July 17th? Then there are a few things you should know!
What a Beautiful View
July 17th, 2021, marks the 66th anniversary of the Disneyland Resort! Last year we saw a number of special items released to celebrate the Resort’s 65th anniversary. This year, Disneyland will be celebrating its anniversary with something a little different and if you’re all about those special, limited-time celebrations you’ll want to make sure you know about these.
Recently, we’ve been seeing a lot of price increases at gift shops and restaurants around Disney World.
Donald nuiMO with new price
Wishables and nuiMOs both jumped a few dollars in price, restaurants in EPCOT like Chefs de France and Teppan Edo had price increases on their menus, and souvenir experiences like building a lightsaber in Hollywood Studios saw jumps in cost as well. Now, we’re seeing another big Disney World item get a price hike in the parks!
October 1st (which marks the beginning of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations) might seem far away right now, but we have a feeling it’ll be here sooner than you expect!
Something exciting is coming to the France Pavilion!
Lots of things are set to open or take place on October 1st. One NEW thing that guests will get to experience on that day is the opening of the expanded area of the France pavilion, the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and the opening of La Creperie de Paris. Today we were lucky enough to get a media preview of this expansion area and now we’re sharing some behind-the-scenes details with you!
