Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible. Written and directed by Brad Bird (“Iron Giant,” “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille”) and produced by John Walker (“The Incredibles,” “Tomorrowland”) and Nicole Grindle (“Sanjay’s Super Team” short, “Toy Story 3” associate producer), Disney•Pixar’s “Incredibles 2” busts into theaters on June 15, 2018.

Coronado Springs Pool to Close for Refurbishment

Coronado Expansion

Although not directly confirmed by Disney, sources online are reporting that the Lost City of Cibola pool at Coronado Springs resort will be closing this fall for a refurbishment. No exact dates have been released as of yet, but it’s believed to begin in September and last at least a couple of months. There are 3 quiet pools located around the resort that will stay open for Guests enjoyment.

No word on if the pool bar Siestas will close or remain open, or the hot tub. They are all located within a fenced in area with the main pool so there’s a good chance everything will be closed during this refurbishment.

Check back with Chip and Co for more updates.

Celebrate National Pretzel Day In Style with These Incredible Disney Park Treats

Disney Pretzel Day

It’s National Pretzel Day and we here at Chip and Co. can’t think of a better way to celebrate this savory occasion than with one of the amazing pretzel treats you’ll find at the theme parks.  To give you just a taste of where you can satisfy your pretzel cravings here are a few of our favorites.

Let’s start with the beloved and iconic Mickey Pretzel (pictured above).  This snack is sure to put a smile on your face and can be found at every park at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland.  Most come with a delicious cheese sauce for dipping or you can choose to pair yours with a bit of yellow mustard which we find equally as tasty.

National Pretzel Day

For those that like your pretzels on the sweet side, we recommend a stop at the newly opened Midnattsol Bakery at the Norway Pavilion in Epcot where they serve up a delicious chocolate pretzel.

Celebrate National Pretzel Day In Style with These Incredible Disney Park Treats

Another one of our favorite treats at Epcot has to be the Jumbo Pretzel served up at the Bier and Pretzel Cart located in the Germany courtyard.  It pairs wonderfully with the Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Beer also on offer.

Celebrate National Pretzel Day In Style with These Incredible Disney Park Treats

If you’re lucky enough to be visiting during the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, also be sure to stop by the  Bauermarkt: Farmer’s Market Outdoor Kitchen in Germany and sample this delicious Toasted Pretzel Bread topped with Black Forest ham and melted Gruyère cheese.

Celebrate National Pretzel Day In Style with These Incredible Disney Park Treats

For visitors to Magic Kingdom park, we highly recommend the Pepper Jack Warmed Stuffed Pretzel which you’ll find at the Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland.

Disney Pretzel Day

Prince Eric’s Village Market in Fantasyland is also serving up a Pretzel Royal which comes with a Beer Cheese Sauce that is absolutely divine!

Visitors to Disney Springs will definitely want to try the Air Pirate’s Pretzels.  This pretzel “flight” comes with spicy German mustard and cheese fondu.

Over at Pandora – The World of Avatar a recent addition to the menu worthy of noting is the Colossal Pretzel served with beer cheese fondue or cheese sauce.

Celebrate National Pretzel Day In Style with These Incredible Disney Park Treats

Visitors to Disneyland will also want to be sure to try one of the incredible pretzel treats you’ll find around the parks. Some of our favorites include the Bavarian Pretzel at Sanoma Terrace (pictured above),  pretzel bites with cheesy sauce at the Cozy Cone Motel at Disney California Adventure or the Jalapeno Cheese-filled Pretzel at Bayside Brews on Paradise Pier.

Available at the pretzel carts in front of “it’s a small world” you’ll also find a delicious Cinnamon Pretzel. Or, if you prefer, head over to the Troubadour Tavern in Fantasyland where they are severing up Pretzel Bites with cheese sauce. We are also huge fans of the Jalapeno Cheese-fill and Cream Cheese-filled Pretzels at Refreshment Corner.

Celebrate National Pretzel Day In Style with These Incredible Disney Park Treats

Finally, you can really show your Pretzel-loving side with an impressive range of Disney Parks merchandise! Options include the Mickey Mouse Pretzel T-shirt which you’ll find at  Shop Disney Parks.  Other fun items include the Mickey Pretzel Keychain, and a 10-inch Mickey Pretzel Plush!  For those looking to take a taste of the parks home with you, we also recommend treats like Minnie’s Sweets Mickey Mouse Frosted Pretzels or the Chip ‘N Dale Snack Co. Mickey Pretzels.  All of the items can be found at merchandise locations throughout Disney’s parks and resorts!

We hope we’ve given you a bit of inspiration next time you’re looking to satisfy those pretzel cravings!

Na’vi River Journey Closed Today (4/26) Due to Ongoing Technical Issues

Na'vi River Closure

It’s been a tough couple of days for the popular Pandora attraction the Na’vi River Journey with unknown technical difficulties seeing it closed to the public today- Thursday, April 26, 2018.

Those with FastPasses scheduled for this attraction are receiving notification that they can substitute their FastPass for one of the other attractions at Animal Kingdom (see below).

Na'vi River Journey Closure

Here’s an image of the closure via the Wait Lines section of the My Disney Experience which does not have the ride listed for today.

Na'vi River Journey Closed Today (4/26) Due to Ongoing Technical Issues

Today marks the second day of difficulties over at Pandora – The World of Avatar.  Yesterday both Flight of Passage and the Na’vi River Journey were closed to visitors as Disney worked through technical issues.  Both rides are located in the same building which means that the issues facing one attraction frequently impact the other. However, from the image above, it does look like it is business as usual over at Flight of Passage.

This is a story we’ll be monitoring closely throughout the day.  Readers are encouraged to keep following along with Chip and Co. for the latest Na’vi River Journey updates.

Shanghai Disney Resort Celebrates the Opening of Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land

Shanghai Disney Resort Celebrates the Opening of Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land

Shanghai Disney Resort celebrated a major milestone today with the opening of Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land, the seventh themed land and the first major expansion of Shanghai Disneyland since it opened its gates to the people of China in June 2016. Building on the early success of the resort, the new land features brand new attractions and entertainment experiences, immersing guests of all ages into the unparalleled creativity, fun, and imagination of Pixar’s Toy Story.

Shanghai Disney Resort Celebrates the Opening of Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land

This morning, Bob Iger, chairman and chief executive officer, The Walt Disney Company, celebrated the opening of the exciting expansion in a kinetic opening moment featuring the beloved Toy Story friends Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear and a lively performance of “You’ve got a Friend in Me.” Mr. Chen Qun, vice mayor of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, Madam Zong Ming, deputy secretary general of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, and leadership from the Administrative Commission of Shanghai International Resort and the joint venture’s Chinese shareholder, Shanghai Shendi Group, joined the high-energy ceremony moment and celebrated the opening with invited guests.

“We’re grateful to the people of China for wholeheartedly embracing Shanghai Disney Resort, for truly making it their own and also making it one of the most successful theme parks we’ve ever opened,” said Iger. “We’re incredibly proud of the success of this one-of-a-kind, world-class destination, and we are thrilled to give our Chinese guests even more to explore and enjoy at the resort with the addition of a spectacular new land based on Pixar’s beloved Toy Story characters.”

Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land is inspired by the popular Toy Story films, offering themed immersive experiences for guests to enjoy whether they are making their first visit to Shanghai Disney Resort or returning for more fun. Full of oversized toys, new adventures, colorful sights and Toy Story friends, the land will provide fun for guests of all ages. The land features three new attractions – Slinky Dog Spin, Rex’s Racer, and Woody’s Roundup – as well as a themed character greeting area – Meeting Post – and immersive shopping and dining experiences – Al’s Toy Barn and Toy Box Café.

“At Disney parks, we extend stories from the world’s favorites franchises, and bring them to life in fun and unexpected ways,” said Bob Chapek, chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products. “We know how special Toy Story is to fans around the world, and we’re thrilled to welcome guests to play in Andy’s backyard at Shanghai Disney Resort.”

Today’s milestone took place within two years of the grand opening of Shanghai Disney Resort. The confidence of the resort’s joint shareholders – The Walt Disney Company and the Shanghai Shendi Group – are indicative of the growing demand for themed entertainment in China and the popularity and success of Shanghai Disney Resort.

Since opening, Shanghai Disney Resort has welcomed millions of guests to experience Disney magic and has become a must-see destination for guests and Disney fans from across the globe. The resort offers something for everyone, featuring Disney’s legendary storytelling, an immersive entertainment environment, plus quality attractions and guest service.

“The new Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land further elevates the guest experience,” said Fan Xiping, chairman of Shanghai Shendi Group. “Shanghai Disney Resort has quickly become a premier tourism landmark in this city, for both Chinese and foreign visitors. We look forward to continuing the close collaboration with The Walt Disney Company as we further position Shanghai as a world renowned tourism city, introducing exciting new experiences to guests and delivering a top-tier level of service.”

Shanghai Disney Resort Celebrates the Opening of Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land

Disney creates and operates unique destinations that continue to expand, innovate and evolve with new stories and technologies. The opening of Disney·Pixar Toy Story Land is the latest realization of those efforts, and its opening further contributes to Shanghai’s goal of continuing to develop a leading tourism sector with international influence.

Also, anytime you add Vacation Protection Plan to a reservation you will have the option to purchase the Plan prior to final payment. The Vacation Protection Plan is non-refundable and will provide coverage from the moment it is paid until you return home. In the event you have to cancel your vacation for any non-covered reason you will receive a cruise credit in the amount of 75% of the pre-paid, non-refundable cancellations fees to use on a future cruise.

Are you looking for the most magical place to host your next group’s next conference or meeting? Then, look no further than the new meeting space that is coming to Coronado Springs at Walt Disney World in 2019. The current expansion underway at Coronado Springs will make it even more appealing for business professionals to meet in the middle of magic!

The new Concierge-Level Club Lounge coming to Coronado Springs will be the perfect place to gather and network. In addition, the expansion will include a new ballroom, three multi-purpose meeting rooms, and new pre-function space, adding to the current 220,000 square feet of dedicated meeting and function space.

Guests staying at Coronado Springs will also have the luxury of the latest technology at their fingertips. Guests will soon be able to unlock their hotel room directly from their My Disney Experience app using the new digital key feature. This feature also allows travelers who have checked in online to bypass the need to visit the front desk, providing them with another seamless room entry option that brings added ease and flexibility to their experience.
