The brand-new, Broadway-style musical, “Disney Hercules,” is getting ready to dazzle audiences exclusively aboard the Disney Destiny.

Yesterday, Disney unveiled an exclusive, behind-the-curtain look at “Disney Hercules” rehearsals, plus an all-new rendering of the stage show.
First, let’s dive into “Zero to Hero” where we get a peek at the show’s contemporary take on the Walt Disney Animation Studios film’s classic soundtrack and how this beloved tale is recreated to be tailor-made for a theater audience:
After the Cast completes rehearsals in Toronto, they will travel to Germany to begin preparations to perform in the Walt Disney Theatre for the first time this November.

Five Nights at Freddy’s and WWE’s The Wyatt Sicks Haunt Halloween Horror Nights 2025
This fall, the fog rolls in thicker, the screams grow louder, and two legendary horror worlds collide with reality at Halloween Horror Nights 2025. Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood are pulling back the curtain on two brand-new haunted houses that are about to crank the nightmare fuel to eleven. Get ready for a terrifying team-up featuring the animatronic nightmares of Five Nights at Freddy’s and the twisted minds behind WWE’s The Wyatt Sicks.
🎤 Five Nights at Freddy’s Comes to Life—And It’s Not Chuck E. Cheese…
Blumhouse’s 2023 mega-hit Five Nights at Freddy’s—the studio’s highest-grossing film to date—is stepping off the screen and into your scream-filled reality. You’ll take on the role of Mike, a desperate night guard just trying to make ends meet at the long-abandoned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. But don’t get too cozy in that security room… the real terror begins when Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and even Mr. Cupcake begin to stir.
Created in partnership with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the haunted house will feature full-scale replicas of the film’s nightmare-inducing animatronics, stalking guests through iconic scenes including the security office and the cursed stage show. Just remember: at Freddy’s, staying still is just as dangerous as running.
🐇 WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks—Let Him In
In a chilling tribute to the late Bray Wyatt’s eerie legacy, WWE Presents: The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks plunges guests headfirst into the disturbing world of Uncle Howdy and his deranged family. This coast-to-coast house experience is not just a scarefest—it’s a dark homage to Bray Wyatt’s creative genius, now carried on by his brother, Bo Dallas.
You’ll wander into each member’s twisted realm—Ramblin’ Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, Huskus the Pig, and, of course, the looming Fiend himself. Think you’ve got what it takes to walk through the lantern’s glow? Just know that Uncle Howdy is waiting—and he always finds you.

Disney Cruise Line Offers 50% Off for Third and Fourth Guests on Select Sailings
Disney Cruise Line has launched a new promotional offer aimed at making family and group vacations more affordable. For a limited time, guests can receive a 50% discount on the cruise fare for the third and fourth guests sharing the same stateroom on select voyages this fall, winter, and spring.
The offer is valid for select sailings departing between October 3, 2025, and March 30, 2026. It applies to voyages aboard the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish.
To take advantage of the savings, reservations must be booked by October 12, 2025. The promotion is available for both new and existing bookings that meet the criteria, though guests with existing reservations must call the Disney Cruise Line Contact Center to have the offer applied.
As with most promotions, there are important details to consider. The discount requires two full-fare guests in the same stateroom and is only applicable to specific room categories (04A through 11C). Notably, Concierge-level staterooms and suites are excluded from this offer. It also cannot be combined with most other discounts, though it may be used in conjunction with Disney Vacation Club Points.
This offer presents a significant opportunity for families of three or four, or groups of friends, to save on a Disney cruise. With a limited number of staterooms allocated for the deal, those interested should review the eligible sailings and book before the October deadline.
Disney Starlight Parade Will Continue to Shine Twice Nightly Through August at Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom’s newest nighttime dazzler, the Disney Starlight Parade: Dream the Night Away, is lighting up the night not once, but twice, through the end of August! Guests can catch this radiant spectacle at 9:00 p.m. and again at 11:00 p.m., with performances now confirmed on most nights through August 30, 2025.
Since its shimmering debut on July 20, the Disney Starlight Parade has become the talk of the Kingdom, enchanting guests with glowing floats, whimsical characters, and a soundtrack that dreams are made of. Whether you’re Team Fairy Godmother, Team Blue Fairy, or just here for the pixie dust, there’s something in this parade for everyone.
But don’t get too starry-eyed just yet—there are a few dates to keep an eye on. Due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there will be no Starlight performances on select nights: August 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, and 29. As the spooky season creeps in, the calendar becomes a bit patchier, so keep those pumpkin-shaped reminders handy if you’re planning your visit in September or October. It’s also likely the parade will skip nights that feature Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party later in the year.
Disney recently tried to dim the mood for Annual Passholders by requiring park reservations for Magic Kingdom visits all day, every day—an especially strict rule timed with the parade’s launch. But just one week later, Disney backtracked: as of July 28, Passholders can again visit without a reservation after 2 p.m. on most days (except weekends), or any time on designated good-to-go days.
The parade’s popularity doesn’t end at the last float. There’s a sparkling array of Starlight-themed merchandise, a new parade popcorn mix (yes, we tried it; and yes, it slaps!), and enough sweet treats to keep your Instagram glowing well past midnight.
As always, we’ll keep watching the skies (and the entertainment calendar) to see if this star continues to shine into the fall and winter months. For now, it’s safe to say that Dream the Night Away is a brilliant addition to Magic Kingdom’s nighttime lineup.
Porto’s Bakery Construction in Downtown Disney Faces Another Delay
Construction for the highly anticipated Porto’s Bakery in Downtown Disney, initially announced three years ago, has faced yet another delay. This latest postponement will also impact the temporary location of the Earl of Sandwich restaurant.
The temporary Earl of Sandwich location on the east end of the Anaheim outdoor shopping mall, which was slated to close on July 26, has received a reprieve. This extension comes as the commencement of construction for the new Porto’s Bakery at the same site has been delayed once more. Earl of Sandwich employees were informed via email on July 25 that their closure would now be pushed back by at least a month, with a possibility of further extensions.
Disneyland officials confirm that Downtown Disney is eager for construction to begin on the new Porto’s Bakery and Restaurant once the final schedule is set, noting the complex steps involved in bringing a project of this size to fruition. In the meantime, Earl of Sandwich will continue its temporary operation in the former La Brea Bakery location for an extended period this summer.
The Disneyland website currently lists operating hours for the temporary Earl of Sandwich location through September 8, which is the latest date visible on the resort’s calendar. Previously, permits filed in April with the Anaheim Planning and Building Department outlined the demolition of the 2,600-square-foot La Brea Bakery (the current Earl of Sandwich site) and two adjacent Disneyland ticket booths, along with utility capping and foundation removal.
Despite these plans, the Earl of Sandwich Tavern in Downtown Disney had announced in June its intention to lay off 167 employees and permanently close its temporary location to facilitate the construction of the new Porto’s Bakery.
While the temporary Earl of Sandwich pop-up trailer near the Star Wars Trading Post will remain open, the new permanent Earl of Sandwich location on Downtown Disney’s west end is now expected to debut this winter. Disneyland officials anticipate sharing more details about Porto’s Bakery’s plans in the future, as its continued delay impacts these timelines.
