I feel like the next month or so is going to fly by – in about two weeks I leave for my trip to Europe, including a stop at Disneyland Paris! I’ll be running the inaugural Disneyland Paris Half Marathon. I’m both excited and nervous for my trip. I feel like I still have so much to do, and I’m stressing about not speaking French. But I am looking forward to Disneyland Paris and sharing all about it with you when I get back!
Disney News
- A new attraction will be coming to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park! Called “Miss Fortune Falls,” it is described as a family-style raft attraction that will open in spring 2017.
- The Main Street Electrical Parade will be shown for the last time on October 9th because it moves to Disneyland.
- It seems after 17 years, Disney realized that Steven Tyler was making an inapporpriate hand gesture in the film before Rockin’ Roller Coaster. They’ve now removed it.
- Disney will start running buses from the theme parks to Disney Springs from 4pm to 11pm. This makes it much easier to get there if you want to try one of the great Disney Springs restaurants for dinner! However it’s a one way deal, so there will not be buses running from Disney Springs back to the theme parks.
Rumors
Parades // Because Disney has announced that the Main Street Electrical Parade will be moving to Disneyland and Paint the Night will no longer happen there, a lot of speculation has been going on that Paint the Night will be coming to Disney World.
Attractions // Stitch’s Great Escape has never been a favorite around the parks, so many people have hypothesized about what could go there instead. The latest rumor is that a Wreck-It Ralph attraction will be taking its place.
Disneyland // Sprinkles cupcake shop has been massively popular over in Disney Springs in Florida – so now the rumor is that there will be a Sprinkles coming to Downtown Disney in California too!
Animal Kingdom // The Jungle Book show is set to end next week, which has rumors circulating that Rivers of Light could finally be on its way back and ready to debut. Speculation says perhaps we’ll see it in October or November.
Other Disney Blogs
I absolutely loved reading about Mindy’s experience at the “Green” carpet premiere for Pete’s Dragon over at This Fairy Tale Life. What a cool opportunity!
The Disney Parks blog has a recipe for the S’mores shake from D-Luxe Burger – I had this one when I was there and it was amazing! Can’t wait to make it at home.
These DIY rhinestone Mickey ears from Falon over at Falon Loves Life are gorgeous – and they don’t look that difficult to make, either!
Elena of Avalor is the newest Disney princess, and Adriana over at Adriana Renee explains why Elena of Avalor matters.
Melissa Sue at Mouse on the Mind has designed some gorgeous rings to represent each princess – which one is your favorite?
What recent Disney news are you most excited about?
Great to keep up with the news. Interesting about the bus. We’ve always hired a car in the past but I’d like to take my son and don’t fancy driving.
Yeah, I also like the bus news – I don’t enjoy driving especially while I’m on vacation! So it’s nice having other transportation options.
Sprinkles Cupcakes at Disney! Yay!
Yes – I still haven’t tried them yet but I can’t wait!
Yay thanks so much for including me! I’m SO excited about Sprinkles coming here. I love their cupcakes so much. When the news became official I had multiple people text me about it haha
Haha that’s awesome! I still need to try a Sprinkles cupcake. The wait was too long last time.
Have a great race at Disneyland Paris! Can’t believe the Main Street Electrical Parade is moving…
Thanks so much! I know, it seems odd that they’re moving the parade.
Have fun in Paris! How long will you be out of the country?
Do you speak French or any other languages?
Thank you! I’ll be gone for about 10 days. I don’t speak any French or any other language really! Haha, that’s part of the reason why I’m nervous about the trip.
Cool, have fun! We’ll do our game when you come back!
Sounds like a plan!
I would love to see Paint the Night! Thanks for putting this together. I love catching up with all the Disney news each month.
Paint the Night was amazing! I’d love to see it come to Florida.
hahaha! Did they remove the whole movie or just that one part? I love Rockin’ Roller Coaster!
I would love to see a Wreck it Ralph attraction, I love that movie! Also can you believe I’ve never been to any of the Water Parks? Crazy I know but I usually only have a few days so we try to pack in as much of the theme park as we can instead…

Just that one part – I actually think they just edited it so it looked like his hand wasn’t making that gesture!
I know how you feel about the water parks. My husband really enjoys them which is why we go occasionally. But it’s also difficult for me because they aren’t included with my annual pass, so I have a hard time convincing myself to pay more when I could just get into the theme parks already!
Thanks for the feature! I am so hoping for a Sprinkles at Disneyland! Also, sad note, I did see on the Disney Parks Blog that they are not planning on sending Paint the Night to WDW (but they also were giving out lots of mixed messages about it ending at Disneyland so who knows).
Aw that’s a bummer! I would think given how popular Paint the Night was (and I assume it cost a fair bit to put together) they would do something with it.
I’m intrigued about Stephen Tyler now! The TB site is down unfortunately 🙁 I’ll have to try again later to see what’s going on. I could also do without the Stitch Ride!
I think if you just google “Steven Tyler Disney” you get a bunch of news articles about it!
That would be awesome if there was a Wreck-It-Ralph attraction! I also love those ears that Falon made. That is so exciting that you are leaving so soon for Europe. You’re going to have such an amazing time!
Thank you! I would so love a Wreck-It Ralph themed attraction, and I know my husband would too!
That is funny about the Rockin’ Roller Coaster. How did they not figure that out sooner? ha
Right? I’m curious what made them realize it now after all these years!
