Magnolia Bend Guest Rooms Update Now Scheduled Through February 2026

A Walt Disney World update confirms that the Magnolia Bend guest room refurbishment at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort has been extended by one month, now running from early May 2025 through the end of February 2026, instead of the previously announced April 2025 through January 2026 timeframe.

Guests staying in Magnolia Bend during this period may encounter visible construction or occasional noise disruptions, though resort amenities will remain available. Travelers planning visits to Riverside through early 2026 should monitor official updates as details emerge.

The Magic of Disney Animation Coming To Hollywood Studios

Goodbye Star Wars Launch Bay and Hello to the return of Disney animation at Hollywood Studios!

In a surprise announcement Disney Parks Blog just revealed that “The Magic of Disney Animation” experience is coming to Hollywood Studios in 2026. It will be replacing Star Wars Launch Bay. Mickey’s iconic Sorcerer Hat is returning to Hollywood Studios…just in a different way. The Animation building will be made to look like the Animation Building in California.

The current Animation Courtyard will be reimaging into “The Walt Disney Studios,” similar to those in Burbank, California. The current theater for “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure”, will be getting an external facelift to create a Hollywood Studios version of the famous Studio Theater in Burbank. The Disney Jr. show will also be getting an update. Trees will also be added for a relacing courtyard to bring some shade into the area.

Disney has reimagined the building where the animators have stepped away and the characters have come to live. You’ll see interactive portraits that come to life, similar to the short film “Once Upon A Studio”. Animation classes also are returning to Hollywood Studios. There will also be character meet and greets too!

To bring all these fantastic things to life the Animation Courtyard and Disney Jr. Play and Dance! will close on September 25th, 2025. "The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure" will still be open for guests to enjoy.

The second wave of merch finds Eloise joining Enoch for a Day Frolicking at the Beach.

Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs is famous not just for its monstrous cakes, half-pound cookies, and cold brew, but also for its gothic, story-rich theming. Different characters from Gideon’s lore are often featured on collectible merchandise like art prints, t-shirts, pins, and menus.

This month’s featured character is Eloise, who seems to be thematically linked to Enoch, her brother (who was featured earlier this month). You can find them both on the newly released t-shirt. It is available in store and online.

The phrase “Never out of sight of her brother Enoch” suggests a deep, possibly eerie bond between them, which fits the dark, mysterious vibe Gideon’s loves to cultivate. You can get your hands on sticker set with this new merchandise release to celebrate the siblings. The sticker set is available in store and online.

Will you be heading to Gideon’s Bakehouse to get your ghoulish siblings collectable merchandise?

Gideon's Bakehouse Features the Sea Turtle Cookie

For the rest of July, treat yourself to the tribute to the popular candy from 1918, the Sea Turtle Cookie! This extremely popular flavor nurtures you with:

-Gideon’s Premium Chocolate
-Homemade Caramel
-Whole Giant house made Candied Pecans
-Sprinkled with our Signature Sea Salt

Even sweeter? A portion of all Sea Turtle Cookie sales supports Florida’s Sea Turtle Conservancy, the world’s oldest sea turtle research and conservation organization.

The Sea Turtle Cookie will be available daily through July 31. A limit of 2 per person, while supplies last each day applies.

Gideons Bakehouse also gave an important update for Menu Collectors. The second collectible menu featuring Eloise has officially dropped—and it pairs beautifully with Enoch’s menu! However, it should be noted there was a printing error which has caused the card borders to misalign. Corrected versions are expected to be available in-store this weekend. Gideon's have apologized for the inconvenience—though for collectors, these rare misprints may hold unique value!

What’s your favorite thing about Disney’s Blizzard Beach?

There’s something uniquely fun about a place where a snowstorm supposedly hit Florida and turned into a tropical ski resort!

From the moment you walk in, the icy theme paired with the warm sun creates that perfect blend of Disney storytelling and vacation vibes. Is it the thrill of Summit Plummet that gets your heart racing? Or maybe you love the relaxing drift along Cross Country Creek, where the snowy scenery floats by while you unwind?

Do you have a favorite spot to grab a bite or a place to claim your lounge chair for the day? Maybe it’s the laughter echoing through the Toboggan Racers lanes. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or someone who just wants to chill in a lazy river, Blizzard Beach brings that balance of excitement and relaxation in the most imaginative setting.

It’s not just a water park—it’s a whole story you get to live in for the day. What keeps you coming back to Blizzard Beach?

The coming nighttime parade at Disney's Magic Kingdom will feature an abundance of wonder and whimsy

On the latest episode of Disney's "We Call it Imagineering", the team shared several new insights to the coming 'Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away' Parade. One of the episode highlights was the exclusive first look at an all new original character for the parade.

Whimsy, the locomotive chugging away with the final train float, is an all new character bringing magic to the "Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away" Parade. Made from starlight, Whimsy is described as playful and childlike with his youthful spirt that dances through the parade route. Inspired by Walt Disney's Silly Symphony animated shorts, Whimsy helps bring some of the older animation feels to this new parade.

Whimsy will be responsible for pulling the final train cars that make up the parade. Whimsy will have cars themed for Aladdin, Tangled, Snow White and Mickey Mouse.

Catch Whimsy and the debut of the "Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away" parade on July 20th at 9pm and again at 11pm. The parade will make its journey through the Magic Kingdom nightly, with show exclusions during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

Are you looking forward to seeing Whimsy and the new 'Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away" Parade?
