Welcome back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We stopped by to check out what’s new so you can stay in the loop! Let’s get started.
Attention: Disney World Passholders!
There’s been some pretty fun Passholder perks lately, from the return of free magnets to a secret drink menu at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But we’re here to remind you that an exclusive Disney Vacation Club and Passholder discount ends TOMORROW — so take advantage of it while you can!
Can’t get enough of Disney’s park icons?
We TOTALLY get it, which is why we’ve been loving the collections artist Jerrod Maruyama has been releasing. He’s the brains behind the Hipster Mickey line (remember that super cool Hipster Mickey hat?) and the Kingdom of Cute collection. But now we’ve got more than MagicBands and headgear. A Kingdom of Cute HOME collection is on its way online!
Disney World had BIG plans for 2021 and beyond.
We’ve seen loads of progress on some projects, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But others have gotten swept under the rug. What’s going on with Spaceship Earth, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and more? Here’s what we know about 10 Disney projects that are still up in the air.
Mickey Mouse fans!
From an Up designer eat hat to BaubleBar designer ears, we’ve seen some pretty cool accessories here at DFB. Just a few days ago, we spotted an iconic tribute to the main Mouse himself over at EPCOT: a Designer Mickey Ear Hat! And while we oohed and ahhed at it in the parks, it wasn’t available online — until now.
2021 is the 70th anniversary of Disney’s Alice and Wonderland!
To celebrate, we’ve checked out a new clothing collection, waved at Alice in the parks, and closely followed the refurb going down at the Mad Tea Party. But when we stopped by Uptown Jewelers in Magic Kingdom today, we spotted another reason to celebrate! There’s a new Alice in Wonderland Pandora line of jewelry. Happy unbirthday to us!
The Cinderella Castle construction continues.
We’ve been following the progress around the castle closely. Last week, the stage was covered in scrim while bushes hid the work from guests. Just a few days ago, that stage was stripped down to plywood! And let’s not forget that the moat surrounding the castle is now totally drained.
You may have heard about the shoe battle goin’ on in Disney World.
Disney’s collaboration with Native shoes might be trying to give Crocs a run for their money! Not only are the Ked-like sneakers a HUGE hit with parents, but they come in Mickey and Minnie-inspired designs. But…what about the OG Disney shoes? Have we forgotten about Crocs?
EPCOT’s 2021 Flower and Garden Festival is on its way!
We’ve gotten a peek at all the menus, some fun activities, and even new merchandise (Orange Bird sipper, we’re lookin’ at you)! But even though the festival doesn’t start until March 3rd, we’ve already spotted a BIG sign that Flower and Garden is on its way: the topiaries throughout the park!
Some Disney attractions are currently closed for scheduled maintenance.
Here at DFB, we like to keep you up to date on exactly which attractions are closed so you know what to expect on your Disney trip! So here’s the refurbishment update for Disney World from March 1st through March 7th.
