Hi friends! I'm just stopping by for a quick pop in today. There were a few fun Disney news announcements this week and I was itching to write about them!
On Tuesday, Disney announced that Blizzard Beach was (finally!) re-opening on November 13th! I've been waiting for this news for-ev-er and I'm so excited that it will be opening before our trip in January. (Hours aren't posted yet... but hopefully it'll be open during our stay!) And for the first time in forever, they've added elements from Frozen to the park! I literally squealed out loud when I saw the adorable snowgies that they've added to Tike's Peak! I definitely have to get a photo with them and Olaf!

This morning, Disney Weddings was featured on Good Morning America. They did a tie in with GMA where they broadcasted a wedding live from Epcot. I didn't watch the actual event, but I saw footage of it later and the stunning photos. I was blown away by the beautiful space theme and all of the modern, celestial decor.

This morning the Magic Kingdom was host to a special kickoff of National Veterans and Military Families Month. The main event was the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds air team performing a flyover demonstration soaring 500 feet over Cinderella Castle and Main Street USA. I saw a few videos of it online and it looked incredible. They framed the castle so well and I'm sure it was a spectacular thing to experience in person!

This afternoon, I finally saw the news that I've been waiting for... the Festival of the Arts is going back to Epcot January 13th to February 20th!!! Eliot and I have been holding our breath for the official news. An inside source told us the 13th was the opening day of the festival, but I didn't want to fully believe it until it was announced. Now, I can say with 100% certainty that we'll be there for the opening days of the Festival of the Arts right at the end of our supersized Walt Disney World trip in January!!!

Finally, in news a little further from home, today Disney also announced the names of the three new ports of Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea. The three new additions are Frozen Kingdom, Rapunzel's Forest and Peter Pan's Never Land. The expanded area of the theme park is not scheduled to open until spring of 2024, but it looks like it will be worth the wait. Every time I see renderings for it, they take my breath away. I'm obsessed with the Arendelle Castle and Rapunzel's Tower. I'm also excited that they included so much water and waterfalls throughout the areas. I think it really brings the lands to life! I can't wait to see what they look like in person someday!
