Circus owner Max Medici, played by Danny DeVito, enlists his former star Holt Farrier, played by Colin Farrell, and his two children-Milly, played by Nico Parker, and Joe, played by Finley Hobbins- to care for a newborn elephant with oversized ears.  Unfortunately, those ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus, until they discover Dumbo can fly!  This attracts a persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere, played by Michael Keaton, who recruits Dumbo for his larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.  However, they quickly discover Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

Theatergoers in Clifton New Jersey were excited to meet Larson as she appeared unannounced at a screening for her new Marvel film. The star took some time to jump behind the counter and help theater employees hand out concessions and pose for a few pictures. She then joined her fans in the theater to watch the newest chapter in the MCU with the fans.

Captain Marvel follows the story of Air Force pilot and superhero Carol Danvers who searches for clues to her past while trying to protect Earth from warring alien factions. The film stars Larson as well as Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law and Annette Bening and is currently in theaters nationwide.

Magic Kingdom Cast Members Invited to be Part of TRON Construction

Magic Kingdom Cast Members Invited to be Part of TRON Construction

Magic Kingdom Cast Members Invited to be Part of TRON Construction

Construction in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom is full steam ahead and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. The TRON attraction is making great progress. Beginning tomorrow, Cast Members are invited to be part of the construction of the coaster and become part of the park’s history.

Between March 12th-14th, all Magic Kingdom Cast Members can sign one of the steel supports. The support will be going into its final resting place in the next few months.

The TRON attraction is set to open in time for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021. TRON, located at Disneyland in Shanghai, opened in 2016. It’s one of the most thrilling and popular attractions at any of the Disney parks. Tron is a coaster style attraction where riders board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles.  Once onboard guests will race through the digital frontier.

To make room for TRON, which will be located between Space Mountain and The Tomorrowland Speedway meant closing some attractions around the construction site. The first attraction closed is The Tomorrowland Speedway because part of the track is being rerouted. It will reopen at a later date.

The second attraction currently closed is The Walt Disney World Railroad, which closed in December 2018.  Guests hoping for an up-close look at the train  can find it parked at the Main Street Station. There is no word from Disney yet as to when the train will begin running, but for now, take advantage of the train and some great photo opportunities.

Once the indoor coaster is complete, it’s going to be amazing. For now, we will continue to update you with progress in Tomorrowland. Lastly, congratulations to all Magic Kingdom cast members invited to be part of TRON Construction and Disney history. Take pictures, celebrate with your friends and family, and come back here to share them with us!

Former Wonders Of Life Pavilion Construction Update

In February, it was announced that the old Wonders of Life pavilion is going to be given new life as the yet to be officially named play pavilion, a one of a kind interactive play space. The new play space will be devoted to fun and feature an innovative city that’ll come to life under the dome, featuring interactive experiences, favorite Disney characters, engaging entertainment, and hands-on activities.

Former Wonders Of Life Pavilion Construction Update

The Wonders of Life pavilion is now completely closed off to guests and cast members alike. This area is beginning interior renovations, so cast members are no longer allowed to use this pavilion as a cut through.

One can also see the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride taking shape nearby in the old Ellen’s Energy Adventure Building.

It is an exciting time for the Future World section of Epcot! Both of these highly anticipated new additions are expected to open in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort in 2021.

Disney Making Provisions For Disability Access To Galaxy’s Edge

Galaxy's Edge Disability

Galaxy's Edge Disability

Excitement is building for the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World later this year.  During the shareholder meeting last Thursday, Bob Iger announced that they would be making provisions for people with disabilities to gain special access to the lands.

The Disney CEO stated:

“We’re making provisions for very, very special access to both of those lands for people with disabilities because we know that they’re going to be incredibly popular when they open, and thus, fairly busy. We want to make sure they’re accessible to some of our most important guests, like children that are in the Make-A-Wish program.”

We don’t know yet what the special access will entail, but it’s no surprise that Disney is at the forefront of making their new offerings accessible to as many guests as they can.

Disney’s Disability Access Service

Currently, Disney has the Disability Access Service Card program (DAS) in place at both parks.  Guests who fall under the guidelines can receive the DAS card at Guest Services in any park.  Guests with disabilities use the card to receive a return time to attractions based on current wait times.  This is designed to help those who cannot wait in a conventional queue due to a disability, be it physical, or non-apparent.  Those who use a wheelchair or a scooter do not require a DAS card and can wait in a regular queue, or a designated alternate entrance.

Make-a-Wish trips and children with life-threatening illnesses will still be accommodated on a personalized case-by-case basis through their trip organizer.

Please visit this page for more information on the DAS card program.
