Greetings friends! I know it has been some time since my last post. Truth be told, I have had a bit of a hard time finding the ability to blog, lately. But, I am back and hoping to be back in full swing soon!
Let’s take a look at the news from around the Disney World, shall we?
I am sure that many of us are thrilled to hear that both Marvel shows on ABC have been renewed. Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter will return to the line up! I am especially excited about Agent Carter. It is a brilliant show and Hayley Atwell is very good in the role. And, she’s kind of cute! In addition, the release date for the next film in the Captain America, Civil War, series has been announced as May 6, 2016. This film taunts to pick up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off. It should be an adventurous time at the theaters next year.
It appears that most, if not all, of the room refurbishments at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort have been completed. From what I have seen through video, they look amazing. These rooms are the same size as the Port Orleans resorts, so it’s no surprise that they look familiar! If you want to check out the rooms go to https://youtu.be/DMYk3eMKSZY to check out the IThemePark video.
Pirates of the Caribbean Refurbishment has been delayed until June 8, 2015. The ride will be down until about September 25, 2015. While there is no real news on what is being done, the speculation is that the boats may be replaced, some safety barriers may be put in place, and a general cleaning and refreshing of the Audio-Animatronics will be done. Summer may be a little different for those hoping to ride this park favorite. The Pirates League and Jack Sparrow shows will not be affected by this schedule.

Rebel Hangar – A Star Wars Lounge Experience will be located in the Backlot Express area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And will offer a menu inspired by the Star Wars movies and television shows during Star Wars Weekends, beginning on May 15, and running through June 14, 2015. Star Wars Weekends are Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations can be made online. The menu looks pretty good.
And, finally, the Magic Eye Theater, which has been the home of Captain EO for what seems like forever, has been assigned the task of bringing previews of new Disney movies. Currently, you can see a 4D preview of Tomorrowland Starring George Clooney. And, later in May you can get a glimpse of the new Pixar movie Inside Out. Maybe it is time for Michael Jackson to stand down from his mission, but I have to admit that I’ll miss it! No word, yet, on whether EO will return or maybe something new might slide in to this spot. Personally, I wouldn’t mind a up-to-date reboot of Magic Journeys!
Well, that’s it for now. As always, thank you for reading! Have a Blessed and Magical Day, my friends!
As a part of the refurbishment of the Walt Disney Railroad scheduled through March 2, 2017, it appears that the Main Street U.S.A. station is under wraps! A tarp has been stretched to cover the entire station area and the walk up has a bit of a different look to it.
