UPDATE: As of March 14th, Frozen II was expected to release tomorrow, but Disney has given us an extra surprise because the movie is NOW STREAMING on Disney+ in the U.S.! The movie is planned to begin streaming in Canada, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand this Tuesday, March 17th!
The past couple days and weeks have been a whirlwind with all the Disney parks closing in response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Cinderella Castle Refurbishment
Many have been forced to or have elected to stay home in an effort to protect themselves and others and it seems Disney is attempting to bring a small ray of sunshine to what could be a confusing and dark time.

Our past few trips have varied wildly food-wise, even though the atmosphere is consistently spot-on. So we’re back to give the entrees another shot and find out if this restaurant is worth adding to your must do Walt Disney World list (and because you KNOW we can’t resist their bread pudding!).
