Disney has been pretty quiet so far concerning details for the anniversary — until now! We now have a first look at the changes coming to ALL FOUR park icons in Disney World for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.”
Hey DFB friends! We hope you’re ready for another what’s new because we’re back at some Disney World resorts!
Jambo House
We recently took a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Coronado Springs, and the upcoming Star Wars Hotel! We’ve got just a few updates for you, so let’s get started!
We’re here to share everything that’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We recently visited on a pretty rainy and gloomy day, but we made our way through the park to check out any updates. Let’s take a look at what we found!
It’s hard to believe that this year is Disney World’s 50th anniversary.
Cinderella Castle
In preparation, there are several construction projects and new attractions on their way, but Disney has not released too much information about the celebrations in store yet. Luckily, we can get a sneak peek of the anniversary fun tomorrow!
Visiting EPCOT this weekend?
EPCOT
If so, we’ve got some news you’re gonna want to know! EPCOT has recently updated its park hours for this upcoming Saturday, February 20th.
Disney World Annual Passholders get quite a few perks!
Tree of Life
They often get SWEET discounts on Disney merchandise, access to exclusive Disney stuff (like some really cool MagicBands and Minnie Ears), and more! And now Annual Passholders can get some perks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on weekdays (including the ever-popular Passholder Magnets!).
Some HUGE changes are coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve already seen a few new changes, including the new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth and the new Leave A Legacy display. But so much more is coming, including the Harmonious nighttime show, the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride, and more!
If you love Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we’ve got something exciting for you!
Disney’s Yacht Club & Resort
There’s just something about the atmosphere of the Yacht Club that makes us feel more relaxed. It could be the fact that we like to stuff our faces with delicious ice cream at Beaches & Cream while we’re visiting or just the sound of the boat’s horn as it takes guests between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Well, we stumbled upon a new souvenir that captures the atmosphere and has some hidden details for dedicated Disney fans!
Construction has really ramped up this year at Disney World!
Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
EPCOT has already seen a few updates, with more on the way. Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom got a makeover, and several rides are currently in progress. But Disney’s Hollywood Studios might get some work done soon, too!
Over at EPCOT, we’re still waiting for some of our favorite restaurants to reopen!
Morocco
This is especially true over at the newly-reopened Morocco Pavilion — we’ve been waiting for both Tangierine Cafe and Restaurant Marrakesh to open their doors again! But now, there’s a new snack option in the Pavilion you might want to check out.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
