Update on All-Star Movies Resort Refurbishment

Update on All-Star Movies Resort Refurbishment

Disney’s All-Star Movies resort is one of the many resorts currently going through refurbishments. Here is the latest update on the All-Star Movies Resort Refurbishment.

The resort is receiving major room updates including new floors and double beds being replaced with queen beds among other changes. Currently, the Buzz section building 10 and Woody section building 9 is closed for the room refurbishment. If you happen to be wandering around the resort and see room marked with the little movie cameras, those are the newly refurbished rooms.

The new rooms at All-Star Movies will be very similar to refurbished rooms at Pop Century. They will include the following updates:

  • Vinyl wood plank flooring
  • Two queen beds – One of the beds is a Murphy bed that folds up into a table when not in use
  • Wall-mounted flat screen TV
  • USB ports throughout the room
  • Pocket door between living area and bathroom
  • Mirror in bathroom with LED lighting
  • Sliding glass door in the shower
  • Extra shelving in vanity area
  • Electronic safe
  • Mini-fridge with glass door
  • Coffee makers will be standard in every room

Once renovations at All-Star Movies are complete, All-Star Music will be next, followed by All-Star Sports. Room renovations at All-Star Movies began earlier this year and should be completed by winter of 2018.

Imagine yourself sharing the spotlight with some of your favorite Disney friends, as you headline your very own all-star adventure. Stay at a Disney Resort hotel that salutes the legends of Disney films—from the dotted pups of 101 Dalmatians to the playful toys of Andy’s Room— with whimsical, larger-than-life décor.

Stay tuned with Chip and Co for any more Updates on All-Star Movies Resort Refurbishment.

The Tropical Hideaway is Coming Soon to Disneyland

The Tropical Hideaway is Coming Soon to Disneyland

In case you haven’t heard this fun news yet coming out of Disneyland yet, the former Aladdin’s Oasis will soon be transformed to The Tropical Hideaway. The Tropical Hideaway is Coming Soon to Disneyland! It will be a marketplace of sorts, where guests can shop and enjoy a meal nestled along the shores between the Jungle Cruise and Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. “Welcome to our tropical hideaway, you lucky people you!” Sound familiar?

The Tropical Hideaway is Coming Soon to Disneyland

Few details have been released as of yet regarding this exciting new project but we do know that it will be modeled after an exotic traders’ market where you will be able to chat it up with your favorite skippers and mingle with Adventureland locals.

It would appear that this area will be a place for families to relax, unwind and enjoy a snack or two as Disney is calling the market a place that will feature all the sights, sounds and flavors of the tropics.

Jungle Cruise

The original Jungle Cruise opened on July 17, 1955 at Disneyland Park. Based on Disney’s award-winning True-Life Adventure films, Jungle Cruise premiered with a more serious and educational tone. In the early 1960s, however, Walt Disney introduced more drama and lighthearted scenes and asked one of his most accomplished animators, Marc Davis, to sketch some humorous gags.

Over the years, as the Jungle Cruise landscape has grown, so has the cast of animals. These updates, along with the talented skippers, provide fun new surprises on every trip down the river.

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room—which debuted in 1963—is the first Audio-Animatronics show. Walt Disney’s fascination with translating his love of film animation into the real world led to the groundbreaking new technology, which enabled the synchronization of movement, audio and visual effects of a multitude of animated figures at one time. This technology helped pave the way for other classic attractions, including “it’s a small world,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and the “Haunted Mansion.”

Walt originally envisioned the Enchanted Tiki Room as a dinner show. However, he knew the attraction would be so popular that he changed the format to accommodate more Guests before it opened.

We are so excited about The Tropical Hideaway coming soon to Disneyland. Stay tuned to Chip and Co for more info on The Tropical Hideaway!

The Plaza Restaurant Banana Split Milkshake is Here for May!

Plaza Restaurant Banana Split Milkshake

For me, a trip to Walt Disney World Resort just isn’t complete without at least one milkshake.  And there are plenty of milkshakes to choose from like the Peanut Butter & Jelly Milkshake at 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios or and All-You-Care-To-Enjoy milkshake at Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort.  Or try another amazing milkshake The Plaza Restaurant Banana Split Milkshake!

This tasty shakes is this month’s All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Milkshake and is made with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, pineapple sauce, strawberry sauce, banana and topped with whipped cream, and a cherry.  You can get one for $9 plus tax! It’s perfect after a morning of racing down mountains, fighting Zurg or flying with Peter!

The Plaza Restaurant is also a great place to sit and grab a quick bite to eat. This family friendly eatery can be found on Main Street U.S.A. very close to the hub. Try the Baked Honey-Barbecued Brisket Mac & Cheese which is baked pasta in cheddar cheese sauce sprinkled with golden brown bread crumbs, fried-crispy onions, and scallions topped with a savory barbecued beef brisket or the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich which tops a deep-fried green tomato with bacon, tomato, pepper jack cheese and arugula, adds some Alabama white barbecue sauce and comes on a toasted Kaiser roll!

And if a milkshake isn’t your thing there are plenty of other desserts to chose from – like a Brownie Sundae or Apple Pie a la mode!

No matter what, The Plaza Restaurant is a perfect stop for lunch or dinner as you explore Magic Kingdom park during your trip to The Walt Disney World Resort!

Will you be trying the Banana Split Milkshake at The Plaza Restaurant?  Let us know what you think if you do!

Yet Another Update to Toy Story Mania Queue at Hollywood Studios

Toy Story Land

Toy Story Land

I’m here to share yet another update in the ongoing saga of Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios. As we have been reporting, the queue for Toy Story Mania has been undergoing a refurbishment so that it will be accessible from the soon-to-be-open Toy Story Land. During the refurbishment, tracks of the ride have been shut down which also caused FastPasses not to be available for several days.

Toy Story Land

I am happy to report that all tracks of the ride are currently open and FastPasses are once again available for Toy Story Mania. However, both standby and FastPasses riders are currently using the same entrance with just two separate lines. The standby line runs down to where Cruz Ramirez is located.

It’s also important to note that Toy Story Mania will be completely closed from June 11 to June 18 while the finishing touches are made to the new Toy Story Land entrance of the ride. The ride is scheduled to reopen on June 19 but we are unsure where Guests will be accessing on the ride on that date since Toy Story Land’s official opening is not until June 30.

Here is a video from the current temporary queue:

Shanghai Disney Resort Honored by being recognized for its environmental conservation efforts as well as its immersive educational environment, which combines Disney creativity and technology with traditional Chinese culture. The recognition also serves to highlight the resort’s long-term commitment to nurturing and inspiring the creativity and imagination of younger generations. The award aims to leverage the rich creative and environmental resources of Shanghai Disney Resort and organize cross-cultural, diverse and engaging educational activities for students and their families. Shanghai Disney Resort and the China Next Generation Foundation will also collaboratively plan and implement the Eco-China Experiential Themed Camp to create enriching experiences for students and young children.

The “Eco-China Experience-based Education Destination” award is designed to increase national efforts towards the development of ecological and environmental protection awareness among the younger generation. A ceremony was hosted at Shanghai Disneyland today with over 100 guests, including leaders from Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, China Caring for Next Generation Commission and education authorities from Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu and Shanghai Disney Resort, as well as teacher and student representatives from Shanghai. Mickey and Minnie were also present to celebrate this special occasion.

“Disney has a long history of environmental protection and helping to cultivate conservation values in younger generations,” said Murray King, vice president of Public Affairs at Shanghai Disney Resort. “We are honored to have been selected as the first experience-based education destination in the country, and hope to leverage our resort’s unique environment, diverse offerings, and legendary Disney storytelling to help enrich the lives of students and children for generations to come.”

Today’s ceremony also kicked off the first Eco-China Experiential Themed Camp, where the first explorers will learn about the science and cultural elements utilized throughout Shanghai Disneyland while discovering the park’s thrilling attractions and enchanting entertainment.

“We believe that Shanghai Disney Resort’s impressive combination of Chinese culture and authentic Disney storytelling will help provide young students with opportunities to develop and explore new ways of thinking,” said Gu Xiulian, Founding Chair of China Next Generation Education Foundation. “By working with Shanghai Disney Resort, we believe that the Eco-China Experience-based Education Destination will become an important way to broaden our children’s educational horizons.”

Since Shanghai Disney Resort first broke ground, a number of nature conservation programs and VoluntEARS activities have been held, including Earth Month celebrations, a Wishing Star Park Nature Book, Bird Monitoring programs and Adopt-A-Garden programs. The establishment of the Eco-China Experience-based Education Destination will enhance the resort’s commitment and dedication to environmental conservation as well as help to provide an immersive educational experience to more guests from Shanghai and across China.
