Well, Disney just gave us a little bit of an update. With the recent announcement of a full re-theme of Splash Mountain in Disney World and Disneyland, Disney provided a little insight into how this project and the closures have affected projects such as Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure and TRON: Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom.

When Disney+ was released, many fans were excited to be able to watch EVERYTHING Disney in one place. While we’ve gotten to see old classics and discover new series, there are still so many films that are missing from the streaming service.
Now that several Disney Springs restaurants and retailers have reopened, Disney World’s shopping and entertainment district has started to come back to life! And just recently, Gideon’s Bakehouse announced it would be opening up a new location at Disney World!

We’ve been hanging out in the reopened Disney World resorts this week and there are a lot of updates!
Bay Lake Tower
One of the updates we’ve been really interested in learning more about is the new Virtual Chat feature for resort guests. This new option gives resort guests a whole new way to access Cast Members at the front desk while they’re staying at a Disney World resort. It’s SUPPOSED to be super quick and easy — but that’s not quite how things turned out.
We know you guys have been experiencing a crazy time the last few days trying to figure out how the new Disney Park Pass reservation system works!
