Lots of big things happening right now with the theme parks and Pixar! Disney World’s Hollywood Studios just saw the opening of Toy Story Land, and Disneyland’s California Adventure had the opening of Pixar Pier. Both look amazing, colorful, and fun, and I can’t wait to visit. I know I’ll be heading to Toy Story Land in less than 6 weeks, but Pixar Pier? Hopefully within the next year!

Disney Rumors
Epcot // It’s been rumored for awhile that a new show would replace Illuminations in 2020 or 2021, but now there is a rumor saying that Illuminations will go away by the end of 2018 and an interim show will take its place until the new one is ready.
Movies // Though a number of “Star Wars Story” films were set to take place, the newest rumor is that these may be put on hold due to the flop of Solo at the box office (I loved it though!).
Hollywood Studios // Due to the announcement of Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy and its placement near Rock n Roller Coaster, speculation has popped up that we might see a rethemeing of that ride to Cars, or something else Pixar related.
