By Leave a Comment

We know it can be a big bummer if you’re visiting a Disney park and a ride goes down for refurbishment, but it’s always exciting when that ride reopens.

Disneyland

Sometimes those refurbishments are just an opportunity for Disney to spruce up things on the ride a bit. Sometimes, it’s just time to give the rides some extra maintenance. Other times, rides get new vehicles, tracks, themes, and more. Well, one classic Disney ride has been closed for a while now, but it’s set to reopen SOON.

Disney World Reveals CHANGES Made to Jungle Cruise During Lengthy Closure

By 1 Comment

Disney World does a lot to keep its rides in tip-top shape. Sometimes that means that rides will close so Disney can add some little extra touches, as well as do needed maintenance. Disney refers to this as “refurbishment.”

The Jungle Cruise will be back soon!

This summer, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster reopened in Disney World after a lengthy refurbishment with some small touch-ups. We’ve also seen some rides reopen with a few changes, although most changes made during refurbishment aren’t something you might even notice. Recently, Disney closed Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom for refurbishment, and just after the ride’s reopening yesterday, we got a sneak peek at some of the little touches Disney added to the ride.

First, there’s going to be a villains-themed show, which is set to premiere in 2025. FINALLY, the villains are getting their time to shine in Disney World.

So much NEW stuff is coming to Disney World that we are often having trouble keeping track of it all (see what we did there?).

©Disney

Yes, yes, we’re talking about the Test Track re-theme in Disney World, which is happening RIGHT NOW while the ride is closed in EPCOT. The EPCOT transformation may be complete, but Disney isn’t done with the park yet: it’s also getting a Spaceship Earth-themed lounge (which won’t be IN Spaceship Earth, so we’re a little confused about that one). Okay, back to Test Track. Well, we’ve seen several permits come through for the ride and now a new one has turned up!

Disney ditched its Genie+ service earlier this year, and it was replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.

TRON Lightcycle / RUN Lighting Lane

Although the new service is, more or less, the same, it also offers the option to pre-book Lightning Lanes BEFORE your Disney World trip (seven days in advance for those staying at Disney World hotels and three days in advance for everyone else). The pricing for Lightning Lane Single Pass has remained similar to that of the Genie+ individual attraction selection, but we just noticed that a price increase is on the way!

BEWARE of the Loading Zone on These Two Disney World Rides

By 1 Comment

We all have our favorite Disney World rides.

Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom

We also have those rides that we tend to stay away from, whether they’re too scary (Tower of Terror can be terrifying for some people), too extreme (Mission: SPACE Orange is a BIT MUCH), too dizzying (hello, Mad Tea Party), or for other reasons. However, some rides just have loading areas that can be a little iffy, and we now have actual proof of two Disney World rides with slightly dangerous loading areas where you need to take extra care getting in and out of ride vehicles.
