Sweet Niblets! Miley Cyrus Steps Back Into the Blonde Wig for Hannah Montana’s 20th Anniversary

Get your sequins ready, because the “Best of Both Worlds” is officially coming back. After months of anticipation, Miley Cyrus has shared a full teaser trailer for the upcoming Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special, giving fans their first look at the pop star back in her iconic costume for the first time in 15 years.

The special arrives exactly two decades after the series first debuted on Disney Channel in 2006, making this a massive milestone for the generation that grew up with Miley Stewart.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

The teaser trailer is a pure nostalgia trip. In the footage, Cyrus is seen stepping back into a perfect recreation of the Stewart family living room. The emotional highlight for many fans is a playful hip-bump between Miley and her real-life father, Billy Ray Cyrus, reprising their famous father-daughter dynamic on the iconic green couch.

The special isn’t just a sit-down interview; it’s an immersive experience that brings the show’s most famous sets back to life:

The Stewart Living Room: Where all the family drama and “Sweet Niblets” moments happened.
The Legendary Closet: Recreated in all its Y2K glory, where the transition from “normal girl” to “pop star” always took place.
Archival Footage: Viewers will be treated to never-before-seen clips from the Disney vault, offering a look at the cast behind the scenes during the show’s 2006–2011 run.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience, the special is hosted by Alex Cooper. The teaser hints at an in-depth interview where Cyrus revisits the moments, music, and memories that defined an era. Cyrus explores the legacy of the character, the music that topped the charts, and what it feels like to put that blonde wig back on after all this time. Fans can also expect some “familiar notes” to find their way back into the spotlight, suggesting we might get some live musical performances of the show’s biggest hits.

Painting Complete on Tomorrowland Rocks in the Magic Kingdom

Tomorrowland Rocks Futuristic Glow-Up Complete After Three-Years

If you’ve walked into Tomorrowland recently, you might have noticed something looks a little… brighter. After nearly three years of a “start-and-stop” renovation process, the iconic futuristic rocks at the entrance of Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland have finally been fully repainted.

This project has been a long time coming for fans who noticed the land’s entrance looking a bit mismatched since 2023.

A Project Three Years in the Making

The saga of the Tomorrowland rocks began back in 2023. While the rocks were originally a reddish-brown shade, they were updated in 2016 to a more modern, metallic blue-gray. When Disney decided to refresh them again a few years ago, the project hit a major snag.

The 2023 Stall: Crews successfully repainted the entryway rocks framing the bridge, giving them a sleek finish. However, work abruptly stopped, leaving the remaining rocks throughout the land in a faded, dull gray state for nearly two and a half years.
The 2026 Restart: In early February 2026, painters finally returned to the site. After a month of consistent work, the entire collection of rockwork is now unified in a vibrant, shiny blue hue.

Why Now? The Castle Connection

You might wonder why it took so long to finish a painting project. The answer lies in the Magic Kingdom moat.

To accommodate the massive repainting of Cinderella Castle (which is currently shedding its 50th-anniversary pink for a more classic gray and blue look), Disney drained the moat in early 2026. This rare operational move provided construction crews and painters with dry ground and easier access to the lower sections of the Tomorrowland rocks that are typically partially submerged.

By coordinating the two projects, Disney was finally able to reach those tricky spots and complete the futuristic aesthetic they started years ago.

A New Era for Tomorrowland

This refresh is part of a larger “glow-up” for Tomorrowland in 2026. Alongside the new paint, guests are seeing:

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Refresh: Including a new marquee and major technical upgrades like handheld blasters.
Pavement Updates: Fresh concrete work near the attraction entrances.
Cohesive Theming: A return to a cleaner, more metallic “Space Age” look that aligns with the nearby TRON Lightcycle / Run.

The “future” is finally looking a bit more polished at Magic Kingdom!

Arbitrator Rules Against Patina Group at EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion Over Button Dispute

Patina Group Loses Arbitration Over Union Button Dispute at Italy Pavilion

Marking a notable win for labor advocates, Patina Group workers are once again permitted to wear union buttons during their shifts. This decision serves as a key milestone in the ongoing effort to secure stronger protections and rights for third-party restaurant staff across Disney property.

This ruling is the latest development in a high-stakes campaign led by UNITE HERE Local 737, representing workers across Walt Disney World and the Patina Restaurant Group. Following a massive rally in December, workers at the Italy Pavilion’s unionized locations—Tutto Italia, Tutto Gusto, and Via Napoli—have been pushing for a transformative new contract. Their demands include $8 raises over three years, free family health insurance, and a 20% automatic gratuity.

The specific “button dispute” began in late February when staff began wearing union insignia to show solidarity. Management’s immediate order for staff to remove the buttons or be sent home was challenged and ultimately overturned. A neutral arbitrator found that the ban violated both the existing union contract and the National Labor Relations Act. With their right to display union membership restored, employees now look toward their next round of critical negotiations scheduled for March 25, 2026.

Upon hearing of the arbitrator’s decision, Tutto Italia server and union leader Giandomenico Cardellini said, “Wearing our union button is our fundamental right as workers. Patina Group workers in the Italy Pavilion stick together, so I will proudly put my union button back on!”

Negotiations for a new union contract remain ongoing for Patina Group employees at the Italy Pavilion. Following the recent arbitration win, the bargaining committee is scheduled to return to the table on March 25, 2026, to continue pressing for their key demands.

Thomas Mazloum Named Chairman of Disney Experiences

Following Josh D’Amaro’s historic appointment as CEO, Disney Experiences has unveiled a strategic new leadership team to guide its $60 billion global expansion. Effective March 18, 2026, Thomas Mazloum will succeed D’Amaro as Chairman of Disney Experiences, marking a new chapter for the company’s most profitable division.

Thomas Mazloum Tapped to Succeed Josh D’Amaro as Chairman of Disney Experiences

Disney Experiences has unveiled a new leadership structure designed to steer the division through a period of “unprecedented growth,” according to Josh D’Amaro, the segment’s current Chairman and incoming CEO of The Walt Disney Company. At the forefront of this transition is Thomas Mazloum, who will succeed D’Amaro as Chairman of Disney Experiences. Mazloum will now oversee a sprawling global portfolio that includes theme parks, the Disney Cruise Line, consumer products, and the creative power of Walt Disney Imagineering.

Mazloum’s ascent to Chairman is backed by decades of operational expertise and a storied career that spans luxury hospitality and maritime excellence. Before joining Disney, he honed his leadership skills in European high-end hotels and served as COO of Crystal Cruise Line. Since joining Disney, he has been a driving force behind major expansions, notably as President of Disney Signature Experiences, where he spearheaded the plan to double the Disney Cruise Line fleet—a vision that culminated in the recent Singapore launch of the Disney Adventure.

Most recently, Mazloum led the Disneyland Resort through its milestone 70th Anniversary as President. “Thomas is an exceptional leader with a genuine appreciation for our cast and a proven track record of delivering growth,” D’Amaro noted, citing Mazloum’s unique blend of service excellence and international perspective as the key to guiding Disney’s $60 billion expansion plan.

Exploring the Disney Adventure with Walt Disney Imagineering

The Disney Adventure takes center stage in the latest “We Call It Imagineering” episode, “Set Sail!,” which went live on YouTube on March 10, 2026. This behind-the-scenes featurette highlights the unique design challenges and imaginative breakthroughs that define the newest chapter of the Disney Cruise Line.

Imagineers are used to starting with a blank canvas. But sometimes, magic is built upon foundation—like the storied legacy of Disney Cruise Line. In the latest episode of We Call It Imagineering, set sail on the Disney Adventure as Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Live Entertainment put the final touches on entertainment offerings, immersive spaces, and so much more!

The Disney Adventure is the newest chapter in a storied legacy of Disney Cruise Line, which began in the 1990’s when Disney Legend and former Imagineer Wing Chao was tasked with designing cruise ships that were classic, modern, and—most importantly—distinctly Disney.

For the first time, Imagineers worked to fit iconic Disney stories into an existing ship and bring that ship to a new market, Singapore. The project team spent months researching the local market to ensure the stories resonated with guests in the region. Imagineers saw this as the perfect opportunity to build our first castle at sea, offering theme park-level storytelling and Disney magic to new audiences.

Every Disney Cruise Line ship is a showcase of technical ingenuity, featuring groundbreaking entertainment, immersive environments, and pioneering technology. From Marvel’s first rollercoaster at sea to multimedia dining and world-class stage shows, the Disney Adventure is the most innovative ship ever to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

And the journey doesn’t stop here—Disney Cruise Line will grow to thirteen ships by 2031, with five new ships in all stages of development. See how Imagineers are redefining what’s possible on the water in the latest episode of We Call It Imagineering: Set Sail!

Inside the Contemporary Resort’s Easter Eggs Featuring the Muppets

This year, the Muppets take center stage at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for the annual chocolate Easter egg showcase. Located in the lobby near Steakhouse 71, these highly detailed showpieces—meticulously designed by the resort’s pastry chefs—offer a sweet and nostalgic tribute to Jim Henson’s iconic characters.

It’s a sensational Muppet tribute! Dominating the center of the display is the divine Miss Piggy, created with incredible detail by Cast Member Erick and accented by blooming roses and twin egg-shaped lamps. To her side, Statler and Waldorf look on from their famous theater box, while a gallery of Muppet eggs fills the iconic archways inspired by the show’s opening credits.

The legendary hecklers, Statler and Waldorf, were brought to life by Cast Members Brandi, Carisa, Donald, and Desirey, seated in a regal red booth accented with gold trim and velvet-style curtains. Behind them, a gallery of Muppet favorites—including Sam Eagle, Sweetums, Kermit, and the Swedish Chef—fills the display.

These intricate designs utilize fondant and icing to achieve delicate details like the filigree on the archways and Sam Eagle’s patriotic hat. This collaborative effort featured Sam by Molly; Sweetums by Taurea and Clay; and Kermit and the Swedish Chef by Hannah (with Clay assisting on Kermit). Finishing out the ensemble, Clay crafted Fozzie and Animal, while Desirey meticulously designed the duo of Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

Hazmat Situation at Disneyland Leaves 7 Workers Hospitalized

A hazmat scare at Disneyland’s Tomorrowland forced a partial closure on Tuesday. Emergency crews responded near Space Mountain after seven employees experienced breathing difficulties and dizziness, leading to their hospitalization.

Anaheim Fire and Rescue arrived at Tomorrowland’s Star Tours backstage area around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday following reports of an “unknown odor,” according to Anaheim Police Sgt. Matt Sutter. Disneyland officials later confirmed the reaction was caused by building materials used by a third-party contractor.

The incident resulted in seven cast members being hospitalized for dizziness and shortness of breath, while several others were treated and released on-site. As a precaution, Disney cleared guests from adjacent areas, including the evacuation of Space Mountain and the closure of the Star Traders gift shop. While park-goers documented the closures on social media, no guests reported symptoms. All affected attractions and shops resumed normal operations by 3:00 p.m.

New Sign Now installed at Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin cover

New Space Mountain-Style Marquee Installed at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom

Buzz Lightyear is getting a fresh new launch pad in Tomorrowland. Disney has installed a brand-new marquee at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom as refurbishment work on the attraction continues ahead of its planned spring 2026 reopening.

New Sign Now installed at Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

The new entrance sign features a sleek white spire design that closely resembles the iconic marquee used at Space Mountain nearby. Mounted to the center of the spire will be the main Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin attraction sign, though the lettering has not yet been installed. Beneath the sign structure, digital wait time clocks for both the standby queue and Lightning Lane are already in place.

Construction walls still surround the entrance area while crews finish installing the updated signage and continue work on new concrete flooring in front of the attraction. The installation follows the removal of the previous marquee earlier this year as part of the ongoing refurbishment.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has been closed since August 2025 for a major overhaul designed to modernize the classic Tomorrowland shooter attraction. When it reopens, guests can expect new scenes, upgraded ride vehicles, and improved gameplay technology.

Among the biggest upgrades are redesigned Star Command-inspired ride vehicles featuring onboard screens that display real-time scores. The attraction will also introduce handheld blasters replacing the original fixed cannons, allowing riders to aim more freely. These new blasters will include vibration feedback, sound effects, and visible laser beams to help players track their shots.

Interactive targets throughout the ride are also being upgraded to react more clearly when hit, lighting up and providing better gameplay feedback. Disney Imagineers have also reworked the opening sequence to introduce a new support robot named Buddy, while the hyperspace tunnel will feature updated projection technology showcasing Buzz Lightyear and Emperor Zurg.

Disney has not yet announced an official reopening date for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin beyond a general spring 2026 timeframe, but the installation of the new marquee suggests the attraction is getting closer to welcoming Space Rangers back to Tomorrowland.

Deputies Arrest Woman After Child Left Unattended at Universal CityWalk

Lake Mary Woman Arrested After Child Found Alone at Universal CityWalk Bar

A Central Florida woman was arrested over the weekend after deputies say she left her young daughter alone inside a bar at Universal Orlando’s CityWalk entertainment district.

According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the CW Shoreline Bar around 10:30 p.m. Saturday after staff and patrons noticed a 12-year-old girl sitting alone at the bar. Authorities said the child appeared visibly upset and was crying while sitting on a bar stool without an adult present.

Investigators say the girl told deputies that her mother, identified as 33-year-old Amanda Thorpe of Lake Mary, had brought her to the bar while already intoxicated. According to the arrest affidavit, an argument occurred after someone at the bar said something that upset Thorpe. When the child told her mother she wanted to return to their hotel room because she was tired, deputies say Thorpe became angry, made an obscene gesture, and left the CW Shoreline Bar without her daughter.

Deputies later located Thorpe at the nearby Red Coconut Club inside CityWalk, where she was reportedly seen dancing with an alcoholic drink in her hand. According to the affidavit, Thorpe told investigators she believed the girl had been with her the entire time. However, deputies noted signs of intoxication, including red and bloodshot eyes, difficulty maintaining balance, and the smell of alcohol on her breath.

Thorpe was taken into custody and now faces a charge of child neglect. The incident occurred within the CityWalk area at Universal Orlando Resort, which features restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues outside the theme parks.
