New Pina Colada Dole Whips are available at Splitsville in Disney Springs. If you started singing Escape (the Pina colada song) by Rupert Holmes, you are not alone. Now I am stuck trying to figure out lyrics that go along with Pina Colada’s in Disney Springs at Splitsville Bamboo bar. Maybe by the end we will have worked out something.

Splitsville today posted about new drink available for your enjoyment while shopping, bowling or eating. This looks so yummy and refreshing. Reminds me of hot summer early evenings sitting outside at any Walt Disney World Resort pool.

Making all your #DoleWhip dreams come true, ????? from Disney Springs! Grab a straw & get your sip-on with our NEW ???? ??????. Dole Whip is combined with Coco Lopez, Bacardi Superior, and Rumhaven Coconut & then topped with a splash of Plantation Double-Aged Dark Rum to make this new island drink the world’s creamiest colada!

Previously Splitsville announced another Pina Colada Dole whip mixed drink earlier this spring with Big Wave Dave!

Friday feels as good as this is gonna taste! You’re on island time when you roll in & order any of our ??? Tiki-inspired frozen cocktails. From our Pina Colada made with Dole Whip to our Big Wave Dave, we’ll put you in a vacation state of mind in no time!

“If you like Pina Coladas and bowling in your lane. If you’re not into soda and got Dole Whip on the brain. Do you like drinking at Midnight, in Disney at the Springs? Then this is the drink you been missing, let’s go to Splitsville and escape.”

For those who may not know, “The Volume” is a circular film set that projects images on rounded walls that allow actors to see their surroundings, but gives the studio the ability to film privately. The most notable project to use this newer filming method was Star Wars: The Mandalorian series.

Both Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are set to reprise their roles as Scott Lang (Ant-Man) and Hope Van Dyne (The Wasp). Also returning for the film is Michael Douglas (Hank Pym), Michelle Pfeiffer (Janet Van Dyne), Michael Peña (Luis) and Kathryn Newton (Cassie Lang). Writer and co-producer Jeff Loveness has been chosen by Marvel to pen the script.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has begun production and will premiere in theaters on February 17, 2023. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for updates and all things Marvel!

Yara Shahidi Shares Her Excitement About Playing Tinker Bell in ‘Peter Pan & Wendy‘. During the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards, Black-ish and Grown-ish star Yara Shahidi shared her excitement to portray Tinker Bell in the upcoming Disney+ Original Movie, Peter Pan & Wendy. Yara shared with interviewers:

“You know, Tinkerbell is really fun. I think what I like the most about this take is that Tinkerbell is coming with a lot of agency. She may be a famous sidekick, but I love the fact that she is driven and motivated in her own ways. I don’t want to give too much up, but I’m really looking forward to this adaptation.

Based on J. M. Barrie’s novel “Peter and Wendy” and inspired by the 1953 animated classic, “Peter Pan & Wendy” is the timeless tale of a young girl who, defying her parents’ wishes to attend boarding school, travels with her two younger brothers to the magical Neverland. There, she meets a boy who refuses to grow up, a tiny fairy and an evil pirate captain, and they soon find themselves on a thrilling and dangerous adventure far, far away from their family and the comforts of home.

Peter Pan & Wendy stars Jude Law (“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”) as Captain Hook; Yara Shahidi (“Grown-ish”) as Tinkerbell; Ever Anderson (“Black Widow”) as Wendy; Alexander Molony (“The Reluctant Landlord”) as Peter Pan; Molly Parker (“House of Cards”) as Mrs. Darling; Alan Tudyk (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) as Mr. Darling; newcomers Joshua Pickering as John; Jacobi Jupe as Michael and Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Tiger Lily; and Jim Gaffigan (“The Jim Gaffigan Show”) as Smee.

New Muppets PSA ask you to Give it a Shot

The Muppets are teaming up with Disney Parks Chief Medical Officer to spread an important message regarding vaccines. Are you ready to “give it a shot” like Gonzo and Pepe the King Prawn from the Muppets? Watch the new Muppets PSA and learn more about getting vaccinated from Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pamela Hymel.

You can see their special message in the video below.

The consensus in the medical community is that vaccines can help protect you against COVID-19. And when you get vaccinated, you are part of a growing group immunity that helps to keep both you and others safe, especially those who are immunocompromised and can’t be vaccinated.

-Dr. Pamela Hymel, Disney Parks Chief Medical Officer

Meanwhile, there’s more Muppet madness coming later this year for Disney+ subscribers. Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize… with the Muppets!

An All-New Muppets Haunted Mansion Special is coming to Disney+ this Fall! “Muppets Haunted Mansion” takes place on Halloween night, when Gonzo is challenged to spend one very daring night in the most grim grinning place on Earth …The Haunted Mansion. The brand-new special will feature a star-studded Muppets cast, celebrity cameos, all-new music and spooky fun for families to enjoy together.

Is Disneyland getting their own Indiana Jones Bar?

Is Disneyland getting their own Indiana Jones Bar?

A couple of months ago we mentioned the DisneylandForward project, fans were excited to hear about all the exciting things that could possibly come to Disneyland in the years ahead. You can read all about that here.

One new expansion project being thrown around for Disneyland is their very own Indiana Jones-themed bar or for those of us familiar with the concept Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar.

Here is a little more information on Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar:

In search of dining, drinks and décor far beyond the ordinary? Touch down at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar.

This family-friendly waterfront outpost is a prime destination for explorers seeking casual fare with a daring flair and rare cocktail concoctions—surrounded by vintage aviation ambience inspired by the high-flying exploits of Indiana Jones’ intrepid pilot.

Set off on a thrilling culinary expedition with our Snakebite Sliders served with tomato-bacon jam. Share a taste of the action with your whole flight crew by splitting an order of Air Pirate’s Pretzels or seasonal flatbreads.

Enjoy beer flights, wine or discover our “spirits” of adventure: exotic, one-of-a-kind elixirs to complement your gourmet journey. Try the Fountain of Youth or The Scottish Professor, a snappy blend of Scotch whiskey and gin. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available.

The image above is posted on the DisneylandForward website with the following details.

This property could be the perfect location to cater to locals, conventioneers, hotel and Disneyland Resort guests with restaurants, hotels, live music, shopping, ticketed shows and theme park experiences modeled after the popular Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort.

As of right now, there are no details or plans on adding an Indiana Jones-themed bar to Disneyland. I for one would love to see more Indiana Jones-themed experiences come to Disneyland. Those out west are very lucky to have the Indiana Jones Adventure ride and it would make perfect sense to have a Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar someplace close by the attraction.

Stay tuned to Chip and Co for more details.

Disney removing Entrance and Exit signs at Walt Disney World

Quite a few changes have happened at the Walt Disney World Resort recently in regards to health and safety measures. Masks are no longer required outdoors, physical distancing is being reduced, and park capacity is increasing. Another, more subtle, change is taking place. Entrance and exit signs at shops are being removed.

When Walt Disney World reopened after the pandemic closure, stores had an entrance and a separate exit. Signs were put up to indicate where guests should enter and where they should exit. These signs are now being removed and guests can enter and exit through any door.

Changes like this, along with the bigger changes, tell us that Disney World is getting back to more normal operations. What do you think about these changes?

The restaurant was originally rumored to open in 2020 but the pandemic, among other things, delayed the opening. There is still no official opening date for Space 220, but we are hoping a date will be released soon!

First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration now filling every row

“For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Singalong Celebration” in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is reducing physical distancing and raising capacity since the weekend. The popular show is now seating guests in every row of the theatre.

Disney World has been making changes to its health and safety guidelines recently. One of those changes is the physical distancing measures. For instance, physical distancing is being reduced from 6 feet in outdoor areas of the resort. Two of the areas are entertainment locations in the parks.

The other entertainment location reducing physical distancing is “A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King” in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The show opened last week with limited capacity and some balcony rows removed. Increasing the capacity will allow more guests to enjoy the show each day.

Disneyland able to increase capacity from 25 to 35%

The theme parks at the Disneyland Resort reopened at the end of last month. When the parks reopened, capacity was limited to 25%. Now, capacity is increasing to 35%!

Orange County, California has qualified to move to the state’s Yellow tier and restrictions will be loosened starting tomorrow, May 19. Theme parks will be able to increase from 25% capacity to 35%. Being in the yellow tier also means that indoor restaurants on Disneyland Resort property will be able to operate at a 50% capacity.

Orange County is currently in the Orange tier. Moving to the Yellow tier is coming just a week after it was announced that the county reached the threshold to move tiers. Usually, a county has to remain in the threshold for 2 weeks before being able to move.

At this time, Disneyland Resort officials have not made an announcement whether they will be increasing their capacity to 35% beginning tomorrow, but we do know they have the green light to do so as soon as the tier change is in effect.

California Governor Newsom has also said that the state will fully open on June 15 which will allow for more increases at Disneyland.

Stay tuned to Chip & Co for more Disneyland news!
