Additional Eastern Caribbean Sailings Aboard the Disney Fantasy Change Itineraries

Additional Eastern Caribbean Sailings Aboard the Disney Fantasy Change Itineraries

Several of the Eastern Caribbean ports that the Disney Fantasy frequents were severely damaged by Hurricane Irma. There has been no timeframe as to when these ports will reopen but it’s sounding more and more unlikely that they will reopen by the end of the year.

Disney Cruise Line has been gradually changing Eastern Caribbean Cruises to more of a Western Caribbean itinerary. Today, they have announced two more cruises that that will be changing over to a Western Caribbean itinerary. The 7-night Eastern Caribbean Cruises aboard the Fantasy with departure dates of November 18 and December 2 will now have the following itineraries:

  • Port Canaveral, FL
  • At Sea
  • Cozumel, Mexico
  • George Town, Grand Cayman
  • Costa Maya, Mexico
  • At Sea
  • Disney’s Castaway Cay
  • Port Canaveral, FL

It seems like Disney keeps adding about two more sailings to this list per week. If you have a Western Caribbean Cruise planned during the latter part of December and into next year, make sure to keep following along as we will announce if any more changes are coming.

Guardians Coaster

Ever since the announcement was made at D23 earlier this year that Universe of Energy at Epcot would be closing to make way for a new Guardians of the Galaxy attraction, Disney insiders have been speculating that Disney World could be getting its next big roller coaster.

Thrill ride lovers will be pleased to know that an announcement was made at an Epcot 35th Anniversary press event early this week suggesting that this is indeed the case.  During the event, Epcot VP Melissa Valiquette confirmed that the attraction will be a coaster.

 

Disney sources are reporting that permits have been filed for an 11 story building that will house the coaster and that the Universe of Energy building will remain intact but will be updated and used as part of the ride’s queuing area.
For a look at the current construction taking place at Epcot, check out this article.

American Music Machine Preforms for Final Time at Epcot

Epcot

The a capella group, American Music Machine, has taken their final curtain call at Epcot. Their last performance was held on Saturday, September 30.

The a capella group debuted in 2015 after their genre of singing gained popularity. The performance opened to rave reviews but as most trends do, the hype started to die down. In their prime, they preformed over 30 songs in a show just around 20 minutes long. The group consisted of five rotating cast members for each performance.

Fans looking to still catch some great a cappella music can still catch the iconic Voices of Liberty who preform in the American Adventure Rotunda at Epcot.

Disney has not yet announced something to fill the American Music Machine’s place.

The Hall of Presidents Refurbishment May be Extended

Magic Kingdom

Almost a year ago, Donald Trump won the election to become the 45th President of the United States. Since earlier this year, the Hall of Presidents has been closed in order to add him to the show and also to add other enhancements.

The Walt Disney World website originally stated that the Hall of Presidents would be closed for refurbishments through late 2017, but it appears now that Disney has updated its page to reflect no end date to the refurbishment. Disney has not announced if it will reopen in time for the 1 year anniversary of his election or if it will extend into 2018.

Despite some media reports, it was confirmed by Disney that President Trump will have a speaking role in The Hall of Presidents, like every president since 1993.

The Hall of Presidents Refurbishment May be Extended

The Hall of Presidents, which is located in the Magic Kingdom, is getting a new show, and a complete theater upgrade including a new sound system, lighting and high-definition projection system. The multi-screen viewing experience you may have seen in prior versions of the attraction is returning with an even wider vantage point of our country’s history.

Check back with Chip and Co for more updates on the refurbishment progress!
