Disney news, rumors, and round-up – April 2017

March 31, 2017 by Becky 15 Comments

This is the time of year when I live off of all the Disney news coming out because I’m not going to Disney within, like… the next three months 😉  Thank goodness for the internet, social media, and Disney blogs!  I’m counting down until D23 and Disneyland (July) and what should be a really awesome anniversary trip to Disney World (September).  And I’ll try not to convince myself to fly off to Disney World for 1 day just to see Wishes one last time… or visit Pandora as soon as it opens…

Disney News

  • The Fantasy is the next Disney Cruise ship to get some upgrades, including new kids spaces, a new ice cream shop, and luxury shopping.
  • Disney is introducing a new line of dresses… and I pretty much NEED the orange bird one.  Looks like they’ll have tons of gorgeous options.
  • We’re starting to get more and more information on Pandora in Animal Kingdom – including a menu for the quick service dining location, Satu’li Canteen!
  • The newest ride at Typhoon Lagoon water park, called Miss Adventure Falls, is now open!
  • Disney will now be shifting where they do security screenings before entering the Magic Kingdom.
  • In what should probably not be a surprise, Beauty and the Beast has been a box office smash.  As of Thursday March 30th the movie has made over $750 million.  At this rate it’s predicted that it will probably cross the one billion dollar mark.
  • I love how immersive the Pandora area seems like it will be, as evidenced by items like these Na’vi translators available for purchase.

Disney Rumors

Magic Kingdom  //  It seems very likely that Tomorrowland will be getting a big update soon, though when and what is unknown.  There are talks of some sort of TRON attraction coming, and the closing of Stitch’s Great Escape seems imminent.

Disney World  //  This time of year the “free dining” promotion is always rumored.  Though we’ve seen it in the past, it’s been more and more limited each year.  If this deal does come out, I personally expect it to be a limited set of dates and resorts.

Epcot  //  A rumor is floating around that Epcot’s France pavilion will get a new attraction.  Word is that it could be either Beauty and the Beast themed or Ratatouille themed.

      I agree, I think the World Showcase could use another attraction! I’d love to see them bring something Ratatouille, even if they just use what they already have in Paris (it was awesome!).

    These are really great updates! I have not been to Disney in years but want to go sometime this year. I recently saw the Broadway version of Newsies in theatres and I really want that to come out on DVD. It was so amazing and I would seriously be at Target before the doors open to buy that one!

    I would be so excited to see a Tomorrowland update, especially if it includes a Tron ride!

      I agree, I think Tomorrowland could use some updating – they really have to do something with the area with Stitch’s Great Escape!
