Disney news, rumors, and round up – June 2017

June 1, 2017 by Becky 8 Comments

May was a pretty exhausting month, but the one good thing is that for the most part, it got a lot better than the first 4 months of the year.  The first week or two was rough – if you’ve been following my round up posts you know that we lost our cat Merlin right at the end of April.  So it wasn’t an easy time and we still miss him tons.  But amazingly, nothing went seriously wrong after that.  I had my birthday party, ran a 10 mile race and a 5k at a winery, and went on vacation. And lots of rehearsals – I’m in a production of Chicago and we open in 9 days!

Work has been busy this month but in a good way.  It’s my first time in this position before the summer, which is our busy season.  There is a ton to do to get ready for summer and I’m nervous but excited for it!  I’m a children’s librarian so we do a big summer reading program with lots of activities.  We also went to all of the schools in the district to do assemblies about the library.  That was a bit exhausting!

For Memorial Day weekend we took a trip out to Williamsburg.  We spent two days at Busch Gardens, two at Colonial Williamsburg, and a day at some local wineries.  I’ll definitely be sharing some of the fun on the blog, especially the Busch Gardens Food and Wine festival!

Disney News

  • Once Upon a Time did get picked up for a seventh season, but a lot of the main cast members are leaving – including Snow White, Charming, Emma, Henry, Zelena, and Belle.  Not sure where they’ll go with it now.
  • Fan of Lularoe clothing? They are now officially partnering with Disney! Can’t wait to see what they have to offer!
  • Pandora is going to include a new app that focuses on conservation – I love this idea!
  • And Pandora is now open!  Opening weekend crowds were crazy, but I can’t wait to check it out myself!
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales came out this past weekend, and while it hasn’t done as well as some of the other Disney blockbusters it’s certainly holding its own and pleasing fans of the Pirates franchise!

Rumors

Magic Kingdom  //  The Hall of Presidents has been under refurb for awhile now to add Donald Trump’s animatronic – but there’s rumors that he may not give a speech, as has been typical of the current president.  Rumors are swirling on whether that’s because Trump is unwilling to record one, or if it’s because Disney doesn’t want to alienate some of their visitors over the controversial president.

Toy Story  //  Disney has announced that they will announce the opening of Toy Story land at D23.  I’ll be there!  When do you think we’ll see it opening?

Magic Kingdom  //  Could the Jungle Cruise be changing?  Surveys were sent out to some Disney World visitors asking them what they liked about the attraction, what they disliked, what changes they might want, etc. These surveys are often used as an indicator to Disney as to whether they should revamp an attraction.

    How do you feel about the new GOTG version of Tower of Terror?

      Honestly, I would be upset about it if it was in WDW. But I don’t have as strong as an attachment to Disneyland, so I’m looking forward to see what sort of changes they’ve done with it!

      Yes, I think Toy Story Land will be a really well themed one!

    I love how Disney is so socially liberal on the DL!

    Ummm, how in the world did Once Upon a Time get picked up with all those people leaving. I am not caught up at all (on season 4, I think), but I cannot imagine it still functioning without them!

      Yeah, I have no idea how they’re going to keep going without all of those people in the cast.

About Me

Hi, I'm Becky!

I'm a huge Disney fan in my early 30's and always trying to find a way to put a little bit of Disney into everyday life. I live in Pennsylvania but travel to the theme parks several times a year - I'm an annual passholder at Disney World! In addition to Disney I love traveling, running, and theater.
