food IS a theme park
Could you imagine a Disney World without Jungle Cruise? How would you feel if the entire Dumbo attraction just flew away tomorrow?
Jungle Cruise
We asked our followers on Instagram what ONE attraction they would get rid of in Disney World, and some of their responses might surprise you!
Although crowds might be growing in Disney World, we’ve seen some wildly different wait times all around the theme parks!
Cinderella Castle
There’s no FastPass or single rider during this time, and various ride queues have seen changes with distancing efforts, new sanitation measures, and more as guests return back to attractions. With such unprecedented efforts, the wait times have been fluctuating with variations between the posted wait time and how long riders have actually had to wait before boarding!
We would never have thought so many Disney attractions would get their own movies, but so far we’ve seen the success of a full series of movies based on Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as a lesser successful film based on the Haunted Mansion (although that film is reportedly getting a reboot!).
Space Mountain
There’s also a Jungle Cruise movie on the way (in case you’ve forgotten). But now another Disney attraction reportedly has a film in the works: Space Mountain!
Although we’ve loved running around to our favorite rides and restaurants in the parks, we totally miss relaxing on the PeopleMover (which happens to be one of the best ways to beat the heat, in our opinion!).
Peoplemover Closed
As one of Magic Kingdom’s oldest and most popular attractions, PeopleMover takes guests on a ride around Tomorrowland to look inside the attractions and other parts of the park. However, since Disney World closed back in March, we haven’t seen the attraction open again in Tomorrowland (even during the re-opening back in July).
Disney World is pushing forward with lots of upcoming projects! Cinderella Castle is now pink (we’re still not over it!) and the moat is FINALLY filled again.Â
The Cinderella Castle Moat
But one of the biggest projects we’ve been checking up on is TRON Lightcycle Run, which is set to debut in Magic Kingdom next year.
We have been making our way all over the Disney Parks as they re-open. Although we’ve hopped on water rides like Kali River Rapids and Splash Mountain, we can’t neglect that old favorite, the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
It seems Disney is giving the Jungle Cruise a LOT more love right now too! We’ve spotted ornament sets, backpacks, and even dresses. Now the Jungle Cruise Funko Pop we told you about is available online as well!
Now everyone can set out on an island getaway aboard the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom now that the park is officially open to guests!
Jungle Cruise
We checked out that Eighth Wonder of the World (the Backside of Water, of course!), BUT we also checked out what was new in the shops in Magic Kingdom, including the dapper Jungle Cruise Dress we spotted on Main Street.
Disney World has implemented a number of new safety requirements for guests and Cast Members, including social distancing and face coverings.
Beach Club Resort
While there are guidelines for face masks and social distancing to keep everyone safe, there are some situations in the parks that may prevent Cast Members from maintaining the recommended six feet of distance from guests.
We’re just a few short weeks away from being able to explore the big blue World again since Disney World will be re-opening on July 11th and July 15th!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios entrance
Disney has been giving us the details on everything we can expect when we’re back in the parks, like what Character Cavalcades we’ll be able to spot in Magic Kingdom and which places we’ll be able to shop at in Hollywood Studios.
It’s been a HUGE WEEK for Disney World news (our heads are still spinning a bit).
Walt Disney World Resort entrance
On top of the announcements that Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival would be coming back with a new twist and the new Disney Park Pass Reservation System’s launch dates, Disney has just dropped ALL kinds of details about what will be reopening in the parks!
