The Rock is Excited for the ‘Behind the Attraction’ Disney+ Series. A new docu-series called “Behind the Attraction” is coming to Disney+ on July 16th to celebrate the July 30 release of the Disney feature film “Jungle Cruise,” inspired by the Disney Parks attraction which debuted in 1955 with the opening of Disneyland® park. The 10-part series, narrated by Paget Brewster, gives viewers an exclusive peek ‘behind the curtain’ of the most beloved attractions and destinations at Disney Parks and Resorts around the world, from Jungle Cruise to “it’s a small world” to the Haunted Mansion to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Hear the unique story behind each Castle at the Parks and learn how Disney Imagineers designed and built them and discover the intricacies of the transportation systems at each park, and how the iconic Disneyland® Hotel came to be.

Behind the Attraction Executive Producer Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson shared his excitement online with a poster for the new docu-series along with the caption: “? Cool series alert ? Take a moment now to think about your FAVORITE RIDES when you and family visited the DISNEY PARKS around the world ? ? From SPACE MOUNTAIN to SPLASH MOUNTAIN – from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN to JUNGLE CRUISE – from STAR WARS all the way to ITS A SMALL WORLD and many more! Our @sevenbucksprod is partnering with @DisneyPlus and director Brian Volke-Weiss (“The Toys That Made Us”) to bring you the highly anticipated original series called BEHIND THE ATTRACTION.“

“Peek beyond the magic of Disney Parks to discover what’s Behind the Attraction! From Executive Producers Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Brian Volk-Weiss, explore how Imagineers filled the Haunted Mansion with 999 happy haunts, how the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ transformed into Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! (while defying gravity in the process) and why Space Mountain took so long to launch. From the 1950s to today, from Jungle Cruise to “it’s a small world” to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Disney Parks attractions have amazed millions. And this is the story of how they did it.“

“Behind the Attraction” is executive produced by Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, Brian Gewirtz, and Kevin Hill from Seven Bucks Productions and Brian Volk-Weiss, Robin Henry, and Cisco Henson from The Nacelle Company.

Even More, MagicKeepers Have Arrived!

The other day we discovered a new accessory for MagicBands, the MagicKeepers! These handy little trinkets clip easily to bags, belt loops, or lanyards, with a retractable cord so we can swipe the magic easily on the go! The first one we found was a super cute Minnie Mouse design, but now there are several more!

Related: New MagicKeepers

We discovered FIVE new designs! Including a second Minnie style, which is reminiscent of her vintage look, with her flowered cap! Just like the first one we found, each keeper includes an interchangeable icon slider. They have done a great job with coordinating the colors, but it’s a fun feature for when you want to change things up.

Oh course, Mickey couldn’t be left out, and oh boy, it’s adorable!

The tagline of MagicBands has been “unlock the magic”, so I think that the key style is so perfect! The key has park icons on it, and the clip says “Walt Disney World”. The Kingdom Hearts fan in me is also geeking out a bit over this one.

We can also tap into our mischievous side with the super adorable Stitch keeper! The clip for this one also has a very tropical vibe too.

Lastly, is my favorite one of the new designs! A rose gold and millennial pink castle! The castle is showered in rose gold sparkles, while the background and icon are a dreamy light pink. This is definitely on the top of my list!

What do you think of the new MagicKeepers retractable clips?

Work begins on Fantasmic in Hollywood Studios! Will it reopen soon?

Work begins on Fantasmic in Hollywood Studios! Will it reopen soon?

For the past few months the Fantasmic! lagoon at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been drained as the show has not been operating since the pandemic closure. Now, there are signs pointing to the nighttime spectacular possibly returning!

The Disney World website describes Fantasmic! as:

“A Legendary Tale

Featuring more than 50 live performers, massive sets, stunning effects, dazzling pyrotechnics and rousing music, this larger-than-life show is painted on a grand canvas of dancing water and light like nothing you’ve ever seen. Overflowing with silly and suspenseful surprises, it will leave your entire family smiling from ear-to-ear.”

Now, Disney has filed a permit to work on the Fantasmic! performance island. The permit says “provide labor, material and/or electrical for construction”.

So, we don’t know exactly what work will be done but something is happening! Disney could be doing regular maintenance, but since the performance island cannot be seen from the rest of the park, there’s a good chance it is being prepared for the return of Fantasmic!

Stay tuned for more information and updates!

More play areas starting to reopen at Disney World

We recently shared that the play area at Dumbo the Flying Elephant in Magic Kingdom has reopened. Now, more play areas at Walt Disney World are opening!

The play area at the Dumbo attraction is a circus tent where kids can run and play while they wait for their turn to ride. The play area had been closed since last year due to the pandemic.

Now, along with the Dumbo play area, the play area next to Mission: SPACE in Epcot has reopened! The Space Base is located near the exit of Mission: SPACE in the Advanced Training Lab.

The Advanced Training Lab and Space Base have been closed since the pandemic shut down. Inside the Space Base there are tunnels for kids to climb through and play in.
