Disney Lorcana TCG is set to expand its storytelling in a major way with Archazia’s Island, the latest set arriving at select locations on March 7, 2025, and rolling out to major retailers on March 21. In this Chip and Co exclusive, we spoke with Anna Stosik, Senior Art Director and Lead Art Director for Archazia’s Island, and Nick Webb, Senior Narrative Designer and Lead Narrative Designer for the set, to learn about an exciting new card type-making its debut—Lore Cards. These special cards will offer players a deeper look into the unfolding story of Lorcana, enriching the game’s narrative beyond traditional gameplay mechanics.
As the world of Lorcana continues to grow, Archazia’s Island introduces new locations, characters, and mysteries for players to uncover. However, perhaps the most intriguing addition is the Lore Card, which serves as a window into the rich history and evolving conflict within Lorcana. How will these cards shape the player experience? What stories will they reveal? Anna and Nick shared their insights on how this innovative feature will immerse players even further into the magic of Lorcana’s world.
Chip & Company: How is this Lore Card story unique to the TCG space?
NICK: One of the things that sets Disney Lorcana apart in the TCG space is right there in its name: Disney. To me, the name Disney is almost synonymous with story, and so from the beginning storytelling was very important to us in the development of the cards. Up until now, the concept of Lore has mostly been seen as a gameplay term – to win a game of Disney Lorcana TCG, you have to collect 20 Lore.
With Lore cards, we wanted to give the Lore not only a physical presence in the game to demonstrate what people are playing for, but also to connect the gameplay with the story happening in the set. Lore cards give the player a richer, more immersive, and of course, more fun game experience.
Anna: Archazia is a character original to Disney Lorcana and players get to know her a little bit through the artwork and story in the cards. Lore cards are an extension of that, and an expansion of the popular puzzle cards we have prepared for the previous sets. This time they not only are a beautiful puzzle, but they also symbolize Archazia’s Lorebook and provide space for us to present the new character and her story within Disney Lorcana a bit more.
Chip & Company: What was the most exciting part of the process of developing a unique story? What about telling the story in a new way?
NICK: I come from the world of novel writing, a storytelling medium that is fairly linear and straightforward. Storytelling in the TCG space is quite different. You’ve got a few hundred cards that you’re not ever going to encounter in any fixed order, and you’re not even guaranteed to see every card. The storytelling is inherently very non-linear. Lore cards were our chance to put the magnifying glass on the story, so to speak. With Lore cards, you still encounter them randomly, but there is a definite order to them, in contrast to the playable cards. It was also our chance to develop the story of our in-game Illumineers a little more.
As players, we are all Illumineers, but within the story of Disney Lorcana, there are a handful of fictional Illumineers that we follow as they discover the realm of Lorcana. We met Shanzay, Martin, and Venturo in The First Chapter, but now in Archazia’s Island, they’re meeting a fourth Illumineer, and realizing that Lorcana has been around for much longer than they thought.
Of course, the real estate on the Lore cards is small, so we’re trying to do as much as we can with the little space available: character development, world-building, and even tying in story moments from specific Disney Lorcana cards. I’d say that was a particularly fun part—going through the card set and finding little details we can allude to in the Lore cards. For players paying close attention, they may even see references to cards from past sets, and see some hints of what is coming.
Chip & Company: What do you hope will excite fans most when it comes to this brand-new type of extra card?
NICK: I hope the Lore cards generate more interest in the story and send fans on easter egg hunts throughout all the cards as they search for more bits of the story being told. That’s what’s so fun about this storytelling format: it’s a hunt. Just like we hunt for lore as players in a game of Disney Lorcana, discovering the story of Lorcana is another kind of hunt: we study the artwork of a certain card and connect it to the flavor text of another card, in order to get our “ah-ha!” moments of piecing the story together.
The Lore cards, both the story side and the artwork side, are more clues—more lore—in the players’ hunt to piece together the whole story of Disney Lorcana.
ANNA: Collectors that are able to get all of the cards in order may find a little surprise that we have prepared on the Story-driven side of the cards, which they can find in Aubrey Archer’s art of Archazia looking at the Lore star. Disney Lorcana players rarely get to see the concept art we use to develop sets. Archazia’s Citadel, which we show in the lore cards, was one of the pieces that helped to really define the look of Archazia’s Island and the set overall, so we’re excited to share that artwork developed by Sam Nielson with our players and collectors!
Chip & Company: Is there anything else about Lore Cards you’d like to add?
NICK: Someone on the team pointed out to us that there are many different forms of “play” when it comes to a TCG. There’s the game itself, of course, but play can also be collecting all the cards, or finding your favorite characters or pieces of art. Play can also be in the fun of constructing decks, whether it’s to build a competitive deck or a “just for fun” deck that’s only ducks or only princesses, for example. The story is another form of play—another way to enjoy the game.
I can easily see a situation where parents play the game with an older kid while a younger child is playing and having fun by piecing together the Lore card puzzle art, or the Lore card text in order. That’s another fun aspect of this—making the game even more inclusive of all the different types of Disney and TCG fans out there and finding new ways to delight and entertain.
Chip & Company: What groundbreaking art design can we expect from Archazia’s Island?
ANNA: As I mentioned before, Archazia’s Citadel, which is one of the artworks you can piece together with the Lore cards, was one of our key concept arts that helped us all to define the visuals of the Island and keep it consistent. Archazia’s Island is a unique, new location that is inkcast by our original character, Archazia.- We really wanted to show her personality through the environments and to connect her Emerald-Sapphire nature to the storytelling in the cards and visuals of the set. You can see some of this through the images we’re revealing today.
Chip & Company: Discuss the process of storytelling as we approach the epic confrontation with Jafar – how does the storytelling influence the introduction of new glimmers – is that reciprocal? Do new glimmers and Disney characters guide the narrative of Disney Lorcana?
NICK: The development of a set of cards in a TCG is a surprisingly complicated process involving numerous teams and creative disciplines. Sometimes the game design team comes to us and says, we need a card that does X, and we then try to tell a story around it. Other times we take our story to the game design team and ask them to build some cards around it. Sometimes an artist will draw something really cool that generates a whole new storyline.
So, to answer the question: yes, the process is very reciprocal. Storytelling influences which glimmers we introduce, and new glimmers will influence the story that we tell. Yes, glimmers guide the narrative of Disney Lorcana but not by themselves—they’re accompanied by Illumineers who, while not so visible in the cards (at least before Lore cards!), are instrumental in guiding the story as well.
Regarding the storytelling leading up to Jafar, without revealing too much I’ll just say that this story arc has been in the works for some time. We clearly see hints of it back in Shimmering Skies, and even earlier where we see Ursula’s powerful Hexwell crown. To me one of the most enjoyable aspects of storytelling in the TCG space is seeding a story early on, developing it over many sets, and then having a big payoff down the line. I can’t wait for fans to see what we’ve got in store for them in this set and beyond.
ANNA: In the art, you may notice that many Glimmers have arrived to Archazia’s Island and are learning new tricks by going through various challenges. Apart from the glimmers that have arrived, you will see plenty of animals just resting on the Island that are living there with Archazia, often occupying cozy spaces. Jafar is up to something as well – but we’ll let the fans discover that.
Chip & Company: Does Ravensburger have any plans to revisit some of the earlier sets and expand upon the story of Lorcana?
NICK: I’ll just say that it would be a shame to spend so much time and effort building such immersive settings such as Archazia’s island and the Azurite Sea, only for us to never ever see them again.
Will we expand on the story? The answer is an unqualified “YES!” It wouldn’t be Disney Lorcana if we didn’t.

The long-awaited Phineas and Ferb revival is almost upon us! After years of anticipation, Disney has announced that the new series will premiere this summer. This marks a major comeback for the beloved show, which ended its run in 2015. The revival, confirmed in 2023, is set to deliver two brand new seasons.
The Phineas and Ferb revival is shaping up to be a treat for fans, with both the original creative team and voice cast returning. Disney Television Animation has now confirmed a summer 2025 premiere, as announced by co-creator Dan Povenmire. This follows last year’s news that new episodes were coming sometime in 2025.
At SCAD TVfest, Phineas and Ferb co-creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh explained that summer is the ideal time to debut the new season, given the show’s focus on summer vacation. They expressed excitement about the season, calling it their favorite yet, and confirmed a return to the show’s classic style.
Picking up a year after the original series ended, the Phineas and Ferb revival will continue the story with 40 new episodes. These episodes, which have been referred to as a fifth season, will premiere this summer on both the Disney Channel and Disney+, though the release schedule is still pending.
Original Phineas and Ferb creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh are returning for the revival, along with the original voice cast. This includes Povenmire as Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Marsh as Major Monogram, Martella as Phineas, Errigo Jr. as Ferb, Tisdale as Candace, Rhea as Linda, Baker as Perry, and Stoner as Isabella.
The new Phineas and Ferb season will follow the inventive stepbrothers through another 104 days of summer. Candace remains determined to bust them, while Perry the Platypus continues his double life as Agent P, thwarting Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s plans to conquer the Tri-State area.
Are you excited for the return of Phineas and Ferb?
Mark your calendars! Disneyland has increased the number of performances for Fantasmic!, its popular nighttime spectacular, for a full two weeks in mid-March.
For two weeks during spring break, from March 14th to March 30th, 2025, Fantasmic! will be performed twice nightly at Disneyland. The showtimes are 9:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. PT, and guests can enhance their experience with available dining packages. Check the official Disneyland website for details.
After March 31st, Fantasmic! will likely return to its weekend-only schedule, although Sunday shows are expected to be back after some recent inconsistencies. This follows a similar schedule reduction last fall, when Fantasmic! moved to mostly weekend performances, a first for the show during the holiday season.
Fantasmic! returned to Disneyland in May 2024, a year after a fire destroyed the Maleficent dragon. Since then, the show has faced several technical issues, including rogue fireworks and misfiring Mickey’s finger fireworks, resulting in three months of performances with limited pyrotechnics.
Do you enjoy watching Fantasmic when you visit Disneyland? If you’d like to book a Spring Break visit to the resort, contact me today! I am a travel agent with Destinations to Travel, my services are free, and I’d love to help you plan a magical vacation.
The refurbishment of Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts remains ongoing and is expected to continue through June 2025, according to the Walt Disney World website.
Stormalong Bay, known for its sandy-bottom pool, lazy river, and thrilling waterslide, is a major draw for families staying at these deluxe resorts. Its closure, while necessary for maintenance and enhancements, is undoubtedly a disappointment for many. According to the Walt Disney World website, the refurbishment is expected to continue through June 2025.
Refurbishments are a necessary part of maintaining the high standards that Disney World guests expect. While the exact nature of the work being done on Stormalong Bay hasn’t been officially released, it’s common for pool closures to involve repairs, resurfacing, updates to equipment, and sometimes even the addition of new features.
The Walt Disney World website says this about the closure:
“From January 2025 through June 2025, Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts will be closed for routine maintenance. Guests may see or hear construction work during daytime hours. During this time, Guests are welcome to swim at the Tidal, Admiral and Dunes Cove leisure pools.”
Jalen Hurts Celebrates Super Bowl Win at Disney World
Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs in a thrilling victory in New Orleans. Continuing a beloved tradition, Hurts exclaimed, “I’m Going to Disney World!” as confetti rained down at the Caesars Superdome, inviting Disney fans to join the celebration.
Hurts made that famous proclamation on the field immediately after the big game where the energy was electric with cheers ringing out and colorful confetti flying through the air. Our Disney camera crews were there to capture that memorable moment for our iconic Super Bowl commercial, which you can catch in English, Spanish, and Portuguese across social media and TV right now.
Now, the celebration is heading to The Most Magical Place On Earth: Walt Disney World Resort. Get ready, because Hurts is about to be the star of a fantastic day filled with thrilling attractions, spectacular entertainment, and magical moments with our popular Disney characters. And it all leads up to a festive parade down Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom, complete with colorful floats and thousands of cheering fans and guests!
Hurts is the second Eagles player to celebrate an NFL championship at a Disney Park. The tradition started back in 1987 with New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms being the first to say “I’m Going to Disney World” after winning the Super Bowl. Over the years, many of the game’s greatest players have followed in those footsteps.
During the big game Sunday night, Hurts shined bright, leading his team to victory against the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. The MVP threw two touchdowns passes and ran for another score. Hurts also set a new Super Bowl record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback with 72 yards on 11 carries. It was Eagles domination from start to finish and a performance that is truly worthy of magical celebration.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Unveils Refreshed Lobby Furniture
Guests at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn will be greeted by a refreshed lobby, featuring both brand-new furniture and beautifully reupholstered versions of some familiar favorites.
The circular bench at the lobby entrance has been given a fresh look with new upholstery. While the green bolster pillows appear unchanged (though they may have been replaced), the bench seats themselves have been transformed with a new pink velvet fabric, replacing the previous red zig-zag stripes.
The backs also feature a new floral pattern, similar to the old one but with a richer color palette including blue and red, replacing the previous pale pink and green design.
Moving further into the lobby, three distinct seating areas, each separated by planters and decorative elements, face the check-in desks. In the first of these areas, a four-legged end table has been replaced by a single-legged version. A bench has been removed, making way for a new blue armchair with a rounded back. The two other armchairs in this section, previously green, have been reupholstered in the same blue as the new armchair. The brown couch has been replaced with a brand-new blue couch. Finally, a low coffee table has given way to a trefoil-shaped (resembling a Mickey head) blue-green ottoman.
In the second section, the high-backed brown armchairs remain, though they may have been reupholstered for a fresh, clean look.
The couches in this area have been replaced with new blue-green upholstered versions featuring rounded, slightly protruding seats. The throw pillows add a pop of color with a pink grid design and green stripes. A circular table now stands in place of the previous rectangular coffee table.
In the final section, the two light brown armchairs remain, while another new blue couch—identical in shape to the first—has been added. This couch is accented with red-striped and yellow floral pillows.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas has been undergoing a multi-year transformation. Two years ago, the lobby was remodeled. In 2022, The Belle Vue Lounge received new furniture, and Carousel Coffee, complete with its own seating area, replaced Dundy’s Sundries. Guest rooms have also been updated.
Beyond the Inn, the boardwalk itself has seen significant changes. While it was recently announced that Jellyrolls will be closing, Big River Grille and Brewing Works closed last year. Since 2022, several new dining locations have opened: BoardWalk Deli, BoardWalk Ice Cream, Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, and The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, replacing previous establishments.
