Shakira Surprises World Tour Crowd with New Song from Zootopia 2

Disney and pop music fans are getting an unbelievable treat on Shakira’s current tour! The multi-GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar has kicked off her highly anticipated “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” World Tour, and the setlist features an electrifying track that is giving Zootopia 2 fans a massive reason to celebrate.

Shakira is officially performing her breakout anthem, “Zoo,” live on stage—the hit single from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ box-office juggernaut, Zootopia 2!

Shakira famously returned to the recording booth to voice Zootopia’s favorite pop icon, Gazelle, for the smash-hit sequel. Now, she’s bringing that animated magic into the real world.

Her live performance of “Zoo” is a full-on theatrical nod to the film, complete with roaring tiger background dancers and playful Gazelle horns. The star-studded track was co-written by Shakira, Ed Sheeran, and Blake Slatkin, and produced by Slatkin, Alex (A.C.) Castillo, Shakira, and Ed Sheeran.

The live debut of “Zoo” comes right on the heels of the film’s historic success. Zootopia 2 has officially shattered records to become the highest-grossing animated MPA release of all time globally, as well as the highest MPA release of 2025.

If you can’t make it out to the stadium tour to hear the new anthem live, don’t worry! The critically acclaimed, BAFTA Award-winning film is now streaming on Disney+. You can find it right now in the dedicated “Zootopia” Collection alongside the original Academy Award®-winning Zootopia and the hilarious six-episode anthology series Zootopia+.

Shakira’s twelfth studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, has been an absolute phenomenon, earning rave reviews and a GRAMMY® win for Best Latin Album. Within its first 24 hours of release, it became the most-streamed album of 2024 and has since been certified 7x Platinum. With over 95 million records sold worldwide and 27 billion views on YouTube, Shakira continues to prove why she is the most-streamed female Latin artist of all time on Spotify.

Want to catch Gazelle—uh, Shakira—live in concert? Check out the upcoming tour dates below to see if she is bringing her tiger dancers to a city near you:

Super Nintendo World Expansion Coming to Universal Studios Singapore

Super Nintendo World Officially Confirmed for Universal Studios Singapore Expansion

It’s-a me… another Super Nintendo World! Universal fans have another reason to celebrate, as plans for a Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Singapore have officially been confirmed as part of a massive expansion of Resorts World Sentosa.

The announcement came as Singapore’s Sentosa Development Corporation unveiled the next phase of its ambitious Greater Sentosa Master Plan, a decades-long vision that will transform Sentosa and neighboring Pulau Brani with new attractions, hotels, entertainment, and transportation improvements. Included in those plans is the long-awaited Super Nintendo World coming to Universal Studios Singapore.

While the land has now been officially included in the master plan, Universal has not yet revealed an opening date or shared details about which attractions will be included. The project is expected to be part of Resorts World Sentosa’s broader redevelopment efforts, with additional expansion projects rolling out into the early 2030s.

When it opens, Universal Studios Singapore will become the fourth Universal destination to feature Super Nintendo World, joining Universal Studios Japan, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Universal Epic Universe at Universal Orlando Resort. Each version of the land has brought guests into the colorful worlds of Mario and friends, complete with interactive experiences, themed dining, and groundbreaking attractions, so expectations are high for what Singapore will eventually unveil.

Universal Studios Singapore currently features seven themed lands, including the recently opened Illumination’s Minion Land. The addition of Super Nintendo World is expected to become one of the park’s biggest draws and further cement Resorts World Sentosa as one of Asia’s premier vacation destinations.

Whether you’re racing through Bowser’s Castle, punching Question Blocks, or collecting digital coins, one thing is certain: the Super Nintendo World family is about to level up once again.

If a Universal vacation is on your horizon, whether it’s Orlando or an international adventure someday to Singapore, our travel partners at Get Away Today can help you start planning your next unforgettable getaway.

Winnie the Pooh Will No Longer Visit Individual Tables at The Crystal Palace Character Meal

Winnie the Pooh Changes Meet-and-Greet Routine at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom

If you’re planning a character breakfast, lunch, or dinner at The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, you may notice one familiar face greeting guests a little differently. Winnie the Pooh is no longer making his usual rounds through the dining rooms during the character meal, though guests can still meet everyone’s favorite honey-loving bear.

Instead of visiting each table alongside his Hundred Acre Wood friends, Pooh is currently greeting guests from a designated spot near the front of the restaurant. Diners can line up during their meal to snap a photo and spend a few moments with Pooh, who is meeting guests in the atrium beside the topiary inspired by his own likeness.

The rest of the character lineup continues to visit tables throughout the restaurant as usual, making Pooh the only member of the group with a modified meet-and-greet experience. Disney has not announced why the change was made, and it’s currently unknown whether this is a temporary adjustment or if Pooh will eventually return to visiting guests at their tables.

The Crystal Palace remains one of Magic Kingdom’s most popular character dining experiences, offering guests the chance to dine with Winnie the Pooh and friends in a beautiful Victorian-inspired setting just off Main Street, U.S.A. If meeting Pooh is a priority during your meal, be sure to make your way to his greeting location before finishing your dining experience.

If you’re planning a Walt Disney World vacation and a meal with Pooh and friends is on your must-do list, our friends at Get Away Today can help you book the perfect Disney getaway with great savings on tickets, resorts, and vacation packages.

Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire Taking a Brief Hiatus at Magic Kingdom This July

Guests visiting Magic Kingdom over the next couple of weeks may notice one of the park’s most popular stage shows missing from the entertainment lineup. Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire is currently scheduled to pause performances from July 7 through July 14, according to the official Walt Disney World entertainment calendar.

Mickey's Magical Friendship Faire Not Running for a Week in July at the Magic Kingdom

The Cinderella Castle stage show has no listed performances during that eight-day stretch. Before the break, the show is scheduled to perform six times on July 6. Performances are expected to resume on July 15 with five scheduled showtimes.

Disney has not announced a reason for the temporary hiatus. While some fans have speculated that the pause could be related to work on the Cinderella Castle stage, no refurbishment or maintenance has been confirmed by Walt Disney World.

If you’re planning a visit to Magic Kingdom during that timeframe, be sure to adjust your plans accordingly. Entertainment schedules can change, so it’s always a good idea to check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for the latest showtimes and updates.

Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire features Mickey Mouse and friends alongside favorite Disney characters from Tangled, Frozen, and The Princess and the Frog in a lively castle stage production filled with music, dancing, and plenty of Disney magic. Hopefully the show will be back center stage before guests can say, “Dreams really do come true!”

If you’re planning a magical Walt Disney World vacation, our friends at Get Away Today can help you save on tickets, resort stays, and vacation packages so you can spend more time making memories.

Look Back at Air Force Flyover at Magic Kingdom & EPCOT for America's th Independence Day ()

Disney Looks Back at 70 Years of Patriotic Flyovers from Disneyland Opening Day to America 250

Disney is taking fans on a patriotic trip through history with a new video celebrating more than 70 years of military flyovers above its parks. Released as part of the ongoing America 250 celebration, the retrospective highlights the longstanding partnership between Disney Parks and the United States military, stretching all the way back to Disneyland’s opening day in 1955.

The video opens with the breathtaking U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds soaring over EPCOT in 2023 before rewinding to July 17, 1955, when Disneyland welcomed guests for the very first time. During the live opening day television broadcast, aircraft from California’s 146th Fighter Interceptor Wing flew over the park, kicking off a tradition that has continued through decades of milestone celebrations, military appreciation events, anniversaries, and patriotic holidays.

Over the years, Disney has welcomed countless military flyovers during special events, including Walt Disney World’s 20th anniversary rededication, National Veterans and Military Families Month celebrations, Navy Fleet Week, The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary, and commemorations recognizing more than a century of aerial refueling. The new video also features service members meeting Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their patriotic attire as part of the America 250 festivities at EPCOT.

The tradition continued this Independence Day as the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 920th Rescue Wing from Patrick Space Force Base performed a flyover of Magic Kingdom and EPCOT on July 4. The aerial salute was part of Walt Disney World’s Fourth of July festivities, joining favorites like Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT’s Heartbeat of Freedom fireworks finale, patriotic Spaceship Earth lighting, Voices of Liberty performances, and more.

From Disneyland’s opening day to today’s America 250 celebration, Disney’s flyover tradition has become a unique way to honor the nation’s service members while creating unforgettable moments above some of the world’s most iconic theme parks. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most magical views aren’t just on the ground, but soaring high overhead.

If you’re planning your next patriotic visit or simply want to experience the magic of Walt Disney World year-round, be sure to contact our friends at Get Away Today to start planning your next unforgettable Disney vacation.

Legendary Festival of the Lion King Performer Veryl Jones Announces Retirement

Beloved Festival of the Lion King Performer Veryl E. Jones Retiring After More Than 20 Years at Walt Disney World

After more than two decades of bringing the spirit of the Pride Lands to life, one of Disney’s most recognizable live performers is preparing to take his final bow. Veryl E. Jones, who has portrayed Kiume in Festival of the Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom for over 20 years, is officially retiring from Walt Disney World.

Jones has long been a fan favorite as Kiume, the leader of the elephant section during the high-energy stage spectacular. His powerful performance of Scar’s iconic song “Be Prepared” became one of the show’s standout moments, helping make Festival of the Lion King one of the most beloved live entertainment offerings at Walt Disney World. Fellow cast members recently celebrated his incredible career with a heartfelt farewell inside the Harambe Theater, recognizing the lasting impact he has made on both audiences and his Disney family.

Beyond his work at Disney, Jones has also appeared in several Hollywood films, including Bad Boys II, The Punisher (2004), and Out of Time. His career has spanned both stage and screen, but for countless Disney guests, he will always be remembered as one of the unforgettable voices of Festival of the Lion King.

Festival of the Lion King has been entertaining guests since Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on April 22, 1998. Originally located in Camp Minnie-Mickey before moving to the Harambe Theater in Africa, the show combines live singing, acrobatics, giant puppets, dancers, fire performers, and unforgettable music from The Lion King. The production reached a remarkable milestone last year by welcoming its 80 millionth guest.

As Veryl E. Jones steps away from the stage, he leaves behind a legacy that has inspired millions of guests over the years. We wish him a well-earned retirement and thank him for helping make every performance a roaring success.

If you’re planning a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to experience Festival of the Lion King and all the incredible entertainment Walt Disney World has to offer, be sure to contact our friends at Get Away Today to start planning your next magical vacation.

Disney Shares Behind the Scenes Look at the New Muppet-Themed Attraction

In the latest episode of the popular YouTube series Disney Unscripted, Walt Disney Imagineering is taking fans behind the scenes to show exactly how they transformed the iconic Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios into a wild, musical ride headlined by Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem.

The new video gives an exclusive insider look at the massive collaboration required to switch out the ride’s classic Aerosmith theme. The episode brings together Walt Disney Imagineering, Disney Live Entertainment, cast members, talented studio musicians, and celebrity guests to break down the attraction’s vibrant new look.

Viewers get a front-row seat to some incredible backstage moments, including:

The painstakingly detailed repainting of the massive, iconic exterior guitar into a bright, rainbow-infused masterpiece.
A look inside the recording studio as musicians and performers laid down the brand-new, high-energy soundtrack.
Reimagining the entire queue line and pre-show areas to completely immerse guests in the world of The Muppets.
Late-night ride testing to ensure the coaster’s fast-paced maneuvers perfectly sync up with the new rock beats.

What is Disney Unscripted?

If you haven’t tuned into Disney Unscripted yet, it is a must-watch digital series produced by Disney Parks. The show highlights the sheer scale and hidden artistry behind Walt Disney World’s biggest undertakings. Past episodes have taken viewers inside the creation of EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival, the construction of Soarin’ Across America, the new Mandalorian overlay for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, and even the meticulous process of repainting Cinderella Castle.

The newly revamped Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets officially made its grand debut back in May 2026, drawing huge crowds eager to blast off down Sunset Boulevard with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the band. This deep-dive video proves that turning a classic thrill ride into a Muppet masterpiece takes a lot of hard work—and a little bit of mayhem!

Last Cheap $119 Night for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Sells Out

Last Cheap Night for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Sells Out

Cheapest Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Tickets Sell Out

Spooky season is arriving faster than ever this year, and if you were hoping to score a budget-friendly ticket to the best party in the Magic Kingdom, we have some frightening news.

The last remaining $119 value night for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has officially sold out.

The August 11, 2026 party date is completely full. This marks the third date of the 2026 season to reach maximum capacity, following closely behind Halloween Night (October 31)—which shattered records by selling out in just two hours on day one—and August 14, which sold out late last month.

August 11 and August 14 were the only two nights on the entire 38-night calendar priced at the baseline $119 rate. With both dates completely gone before the very first party even kicks off on August 7, the lowest entry price into the event now jumps up to $129 for remaining mid-to-late August dates.

This year’s ticket sales are tightly mirroring the pattern from previous seasons. Historically, once the headline October 31 night vanishes, budget-conscious travelers swarm the lowest-priced dates in August.

If things continue on this trajectory, Opening Night (August 7) will likely be the next date to get crossed off the list. Priced at $159, opening night usually sells out just days before the event begins, but with general sales opening up ten days earlier this season, it could happen even sooner.

Don’t panic if you haven’t bought your tickets yet; there is still plenty of availability throughout August, September, and October. Prices for the remaining dates scale up as you get closer to October, ranging from $129 all the way up to $224 per person.

Eligible Disney Vacation Club members and Annual Passholders can still take advantage of a $10 discount per ticket on select nights from August 7 through October 2.

Those attending this year’s event have plenty of new tricks and treats to look forward to, including a brand-new Tomorrowland masquerade party featuring Stitch, Lilo, and Angel, alongside returning favorites like Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and plenty of trick-or-treat trails!

Disney Extends Indiana Jones Ride Permit at Animal Kingdom by One Year

Disney Extends Indiana Jones Ride Permit at Animal Kingdom by One Year

Disney Extends Indiana Jones Permit by One Year

Adventure has a deadline, but it looks like Indiana Jones is taking just a little bit longer to pack his bags for Walt Disney World!

Walt Disney Imagineering has officially filed a one-year extension on a major construction permit for the highly anticipated Indiana Jones attraction coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The original Notice of Commencement was filed back in August 2025 to pave the way for the transformation of DinoLand U.S.A. Like most standard construction permits in Florida, it carried a default one-year expiration date.

The newly filed extension pushes that timeline out by a full year, meaning the permit is now active until July 2027. The paperwork lists Mecca Productions, Inc. as the contracted partner tasked with installing the attraction’s massive new set elements.

While a permit extension can sometimes trigger panic among fans worried about project delays, there is no need to worry just yet! This move is standard practice for theme park projects of this scale. Disney has previously announced that the new Tropical Americas land—including the Indiana Jones ride—is slated to debut sometime in 2027, and this extension lines up with that projection.

For those tracking the construction, the incoming Indiana Jones ride is taking over the building that housed the classic attraction DINOSAUR.

Because DINOSAUR originally utilized the exact same track layout and vehicle ride system as Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, Imagineers have a fantastic structural foundation to build upon. However, don’t expect a simple clone of the West Coast version. Walt Disney World’s iteration will feature a completely unique storyline.

Guests will join Indy as he braves the deep interior of a newly discovered Maya temple, investigating rumors of a mysterious, mythical creature hiding within its ancient walls.

Over in the rest of the Tropical Americas land, work continues to progress rapidly. While Indy’s temple utilizes an existing structure, the neighboring Encanto-themed attraction is currently being built completely from scratch, with its own steel construction permits already moving forward.

With a 2027 opening window still on the horizon, pushing the set installation permits into mid-2027 ensures the construction crews have all the legal runway they need to make this temple look as breathtaking and detailed as possible.

John Stamos & Yvette Nicole Brown Does 'Try Not to React' Challenge on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets' ()

John Stamos & Yvette Nicole Brown vs. The Muppets Coaster! (Try Not to React)

Disney Parks just dropped a hilarious new video featuring the absolute queen of keeping it real, Yvette Nicole Brown, taking on the “Try Not to React” challenge on the newly reimagined Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets.

Joined by her husband, actor Anthony Davis, Yvette buckled up into the iconic super-stretch L.I.M.O. to see if she could survive the high-speed coaster’s zero-to-60 launch without cracking a smile, screaming, or flinching.

Spoiler alert: It is not easy to keep a straight face when you’re flipping upside down with the Muppets blasting in your ears!

Making the ride even more fun, fellow Hollywood stars (and Muppet superfans) John Stamos and Darren Criss tagged along in the row behind them. Because Stamos and Criss had already braved the challenge in a previous video, they got to sit back, relax, and laugh at Yvette and Anthony trying to keep their cool.

If Yvette Nicole Brown’s face looks familiar while you’re waiting in line for the revamped coaster, there’s a good reason for that! She, Stamos, and Criss all star as “superfan” cameos in the attraction’s brand-new pre-show video.

Yvette recently shared with People that she received the top-secret call to join the ride back in January. She had to keep the massive news completely under wraps for months before the ride officially debuted its Muppet makeover.

Of course, this isn’t Yvette’s first time hanging out with Kermit and the gang. Disney fans will fondly remember her hilarious role as the Hearse Driver in the 2021 Disney+ special, Muppets Haunted Mansion.

The revitalized Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets has brought a whole new level of chaotic energy and laughter to Sunset Boulevard.
