While we may not be setting foot in EPCOT again until July 15th, Disney is still making progress on its new attractions and experiences in the parks. And, we’ve got some groovy news for all you Guardians of the Galaxy fans out there!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on what’s happening that affects the Disney Parks.
Disney Skyliner!
See all of our coverage on Disney park closures and reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
When Disney World theme parks reopen on July 11th, there are going to changes in MANY ways.
Walt Disney World
Fireworks, parades, and character meet-and-greets will be suspended when the parks reopen, and some modes of Disney transportation won’t be in use. For instance, Minnie Vans will be unavailable until further notice as Disney World.
We have to hand it to Disney, they definitely know how to get our attention!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
As a company, Disney does a lot of things exceptionally well. And one thing at which they seem to consistently excel is capturing our attention (and imagination)! Here are seven times that Disney’s marketing efforts had us totally captivated!
It seems like there’s always something special happening at Disney World!
Mickey Mouse
But even though some three-day weekends and holidays tend to bring heavier crowds to Disney World, you really need to know about these more unique events if you’re trying to avoid lots of people!
Disney World
And while Disney World has yet to confirm a reopening date for the remaining hotels across property, the Waldorf Astoria Orlando has now announced a reopening date!
We’re only four weeks out until Disney World’s official grand re-opening!
Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The parks will be opening in phases with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom slated to re-open first and Epcot and Hollywood Studios following after them. Although we’ve spotted construction on the McDonald’s, Cinderella Castle, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Walkway, there are even MORE new updates coming to Disney World than we even knew about.
Disney Springs guests now have another lunch option available to enjoy!
Disney Springs
From new security screening tests to more store reopenings, it’s been a busy news day at Disney Springs!
Although we’re big fans of sitting down at Wine Bar George or Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ for lunch during the week, sometimes you just need to grab something on the go when you’re on a shopping spree. (We just really missed the Minnie Ear wall in the World of Disney.)
Disney Springs Food Trucks
Although the Disney Springs Food Truck re-opened yesterday evening at 4 PM, we’ve got some good news for your lunch breaks from now on!
We’ve been keeping an eye out for any updates about the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival.
Epcot Food and Wine Festival
Epcot is set to reopen on July 15th, and we’ve been wondering how the Food and Wine Festival could be different this year. Disney hasn’t yet released information regarding the festival dates, menus, or special events, but we noticed something interesting regarding the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.
