Currently, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World inside the Magic Kingdom is currently closed for a refurbishment. As announced last Summer, the Pirates of the Caribbean rides at Disney Parks around the world were being updated to remove one particular scene from the ride… The infamous auction scene.

Now, it appears that Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland is up next on the list for the auction scene to be removed. The Disneyland website shows the ride will be closed as of April 23. There is no opening date posted as of now but Pirates at the Magic Kingdom is set to reopen on March 18 which is approximately three weeks after it closed. The same time frame should be expected for the ride at Disneyland.

The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland Paris was refurbished and reopened with the removal of the auction scene last year.

First Look at Disney’s Pixar Pier Changes

By

March 12, 2018

California Adventure’s Paradise Pier will soon be converted to Pixar Pier and we cannot be more excited! Today, we are getting our first look at some of the changes that will be made when Pixar Pier officially opens on June 23 of this year!

One of the many changes will be to King Triton’s Carousel. The Carousel will be re-themed as Jessie’s Critter Carousel. Jessie’s Critter Carousel will bridge the Toy Story neighborhood of Pixar Pier with Toy Story Mania. Unfortunately, Jessie’s Critter Carousel will open than later than Pixar Pier’s opening date of June 23.

It’s not Disney without turkey legs! And, Pixar Pier will be no exception. Guests visiting Pixar Pier can purchase their beloved turkey legs at the new Poultry Place, formerly Don Tomas Turkey Legs.

Another popular Disney treat is the churro. Guests of Pixar Pier will be able to purchase the sweet snack at Senor Buzz Lightyear.

One of the major changes coming to Pixar Pier will be the re-branding of California Screamin’. When Pizar Pier debuts, California Screamin’ will be The Incredicaoster based on the “The Incredibles.” Guests can expect to find new storytelling from the popular movie on the ride.

Looking for some gaming excitement? Look no further than Games of the Boardwalk which will feature three new Pixar-themed games. The games will be:

Hemlich Candy Corn Toss which was previously Casey at Bat
Wall-E Space Spin which was previously Dumbo’s Bucket Brigade
La Luna Star Catcher which was previously Goofy About Fishing

A new candy store will also debut at Pixar Pier in the “Inside Out” neighborhood. Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff is based Bing Bong from “Inside Out.”

Also in the “Inside Out” neighborhood will be the new Angry Dogs Hot Dog Stand.

The current Nick Nack’s is being rebranded as Treasures in Paradise.

Guests will still be able to enjoy some delicious ice cream under the California Sun. The former Paradise Pier Ice Cream Company will make its Pixar Pier debut as Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats. And, have no fear! The popular lemon-flavored items will remain on the menu. n

What change are you looking forward to the most?

PHOTOS: Spaceship Earth Siemens Signs Removed

Spaceship Earth Siemens Signs Removed

The Siemens signs at Spaceship Earth have been removed.

Last summer it was announced that Siemens would be ending their 12-year partnership with Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts. The official end of that partnership came October 10, 2017.

And now the signage evidence of that relationship has been removed. New signage, without a mention of Siemens, is up at Spaceship Earth at Epcot.

New Spaceship Earth sign

From 2005 to 2017 Siemens was the title sponsor of Spaceship Earth and Illuminations, both at Epcot and it’s a small world at the Disneyland Park. At this time, a new sponsor for these attractions has yet to be named.

Sonny Eclipse Dessert And New Menus Debut At Cosmic Ray’s In The Magic Kingdom

Our favorite singing alien now has his own signature dessert at Cosmic Ray’s called the Sonny Eclipse Dessert! We brought you the news last week that Cosmic Ray’s had undergone a menu change, separating out their lunch and dinner offerings. Old favorites have been removed like the Falafel Burger, Barbecued Pork Sandwich, and Triple Chocolate Cake. But we do see new items have been added in like the BBQ Pulled Pork Platter at Lunch, Barbecue Ribs at Dinner and the new Sonny Eclipse Dessert.

The Sonny Eclipse Dessert is made of cookies and cream similar to an Oreo cheesecake topped with chocolate drizzle, “Galaxy” sprinkles, and an edible white chocolate picture of Sonny Eclipse. It should be no surprise to anyone that these desserts are not made fresh to order but have been previously frozen and then semi-thawed before being served. I would suggest giving yours some extra time to thaw in order to enjoy it more.

One other interesting thing to note is that Bay 2 at Cosmic Ray’s is now exclusively handling Mobile Order Pickups. This is great to know when you are wanting to save some extra time and avoid the lines!
