As you might have seen, Disney World officially reopened dining reservations to the public today with their new 60-day booking window. Well, your meals aren’t the ONLY plans you can get back to making today. Reservations for select experiences are now available too!
A few weeks ago, Disney canceled all upcoming experience reservations in preparation for the reopening of the parks.

Disney announced this morning that those who had dining reservations canceled may make new reservations tomorrow, and now accommodations are being made for those with canceled experience reservations too. Select guests with canceled experience reservations will be able to make reservations for available experiences TOMORROW.
Shopping for souvenirs in Disney World almost seems like a rite of passage for some people. If you don’t come home with a pair of Mickey ears, did you even GO to Disney World?!
We love these!
But some pieces of merchandise are more “rare” than others. Often times you can find Disney parks merchandise online or at your local Disney Store, but other times there are items that can ONLY be found in the parks! [Read more…]
We have to hand it to Disney, they definitely know how to get our attention!

In response to the coronavirus outbreak, Disney has announced the closure of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Disney has already closed the parks in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo and Disney World and Disneyland Paris closed shortly after.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
The parks closed beginning the morning of Saturday, March 14th, and were initially currently scheduled to remain closed until the end of the month. Disneyland Resort Hotels remained open until Monday, March 16th, so guests had time to make necessary travel arrangements. Initially, Downtown Disney was to remain open during the park closure, but Disney later announced that it would be closing March 20, 2020.
On March 27, 2020, Disney announced Disneyland would remain closed “until further notice.”
Disneyland has released information for guests who have already purchased resort stays, vacation packages, made Advance Dining Reservations, and more. Here’s what guests can expect to receive as far as refunds or future use of tickets, experiences, and more.
We realize the Black Spire Outpost is situated on a far-away alien planet, but things took a truly bizarre turn on Batuu this morning!
