I have so many exciting things to share with you from my latest Disney trip! There were lots of fun times, a few new things I got to experience and some old favorites too. I’ve already posted about some of them, like the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. You can check out the highlights overview of my trip to see what else in store. But plenty more posts will be coming this month!
Disney News
New area of Disney Springs.
- A couple of new things at Animal Kingdom opened this past weekend, including a new Jungle Book night show and Tiffins signature restaurant.
- Disney Springs Town Center has officially opened with lots of new shops and restaurants! New eateries include D-Luxe Burgers, Sprinkles cupcakes, a number of stands (like the Daily Poutine!), STK steakhouse, and a couple more coming soon (including a pizza place and Fulton’s transformation into a new restaurant called Paddlefish).
- Who knows if/when I’ll ever get to Tokyo, but they’ve announced some new attractions based on Beauty and the Beast and Big Hero 6 which look awesome from the concept art.
- Headed to a Disney water park this summer? Visit Blizzard Beach and take part in the Frozen summer games!
- Disney has announced that they will cease making Disney Infinity games – it seems it didn’t perform as well as expected.
- Disney World attendance is down compared to last year – but revenue is still up, so does Disney even care?
Disney Rumors
Hollywood Studios // It hasn’t been officially announced by Disney, but a number of sources are reporting that the Pizza Planet restaurant will re-open with a Muppets theme called Pizza Rizzo!
Disney World // Another thing Disney hasn’t stated anything on officially, but it seems likely that they will not be continuing the overpriced Disney After Hours event (paying $149 per person to get into Magic Kingdom for some extra hours).
Animal Kingdom // Rivers of Light, originally set to open April 22nd, has been delayed without any announcement of a possible opening date. Most speculation for why is technical issues with the show.

A really fascinating read from Rachel over at Reviewing all 54 Animated Disney Films called In Defense of Disney Women. She makes some great arguments for why some of the characters are admirable women despite their flaws, though I personally disagree with some of her criticisms against characters like Pocahontas, Megara, and Esmeralda. 
I’m in love with this Avengers themed dinner and movie night from Angie at Chasing my Halo – especially the Iron Man cheeseburgers!
Over at Mouse on the Mind, Melissa Sue reviews the Narcoossee’s brunch – and it looks great!
