The special ticket is available for visits beginning August 3 through September 30, 2026, with no blockout dates.

The ticket must be used within four days of the selected start date, giving visitors some flexibility during their trip.

Unlike standard Walt Disney World tickets, this offer is limited to EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom and does not include admission to Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

However, park hopping is not included, and visitors are limited to one park per day.

The offer could be especially appealing for travelers visiting Orlando for a long weekend, convention attendees looking to add a little Disney magic to their trip, or guests who want to experience EPCOT’s festivals and Animal Kingdom’s unique attractions without purchasing a full multi-day vacation package.

Daveigh Chase, Voice of Lilo, Passes Away

Daveigh Chase, the talented actress who captured hearts as the voice of Lilo in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and terrified audiences in The Ring, has tragically passed away at the age of 35. Her passing was confirmed by TMZ through her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez.

Daveigh chase

According to reports from TMZ, she had initially been admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital earlier in June due to severe malnutrition. However, in a newly published GoFundMe campaign, her boyfriend shared that she had tragically contracted meningitis and subsequent blood infections. The fundraising page was launched yesterday, June 16, at which time he was hoping to raise funds to support Chase during her final days.

Here’s what the page says:

“Daveigh Chase, my girlfriend, has always been a light in my life. Many people know her as a talented childhood actor from ‘Lilo & Stitch,’ ‘Spirited Away,’ and ‘Donnie Darko.’ But behind the scenes, she’s faced more than her share of hardship. After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA. When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. Together, we found moments of happiness and hope.

Recently, everything changed. Daveigh was diagnosed with meningitis and several serious blood infections. Her condition has become critical, and the doctors have told me she may not have much time left. All she ever wanted was a place where we could live together, feel safe, and be happy. Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.

I understand we all go through things, but if you can help, I will be really grateful for anything. And if you can only give a prayer, I will take that too. Thank you for considering helping us during this difficult time.”

Our hearts go out to her family and friends during this tragic time.

Walt Disney Imagineering Reveals How The Curious Child Projection Show Was Created

Walt Disney Imagineering Reveals How The Curious Child Projection Show Was Created ()
For a limited time in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif., visitors can celebrate the release of the film “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu” by catching Grogu as he tests his power to recall fond memories of his adventures with The Mandalorian in “The Curious Child,” playing after “Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga.” These nightly stunning projection effects transform the spires of Batuu near the Millennium Falcon, taking you on a storytelling adventure across the galaxy. (Richard Harbaugh/Disneyland Resort)

How Walt Disney Imagineering Brought ‘The Curious Child’ Projection Show to Life

Walt Disney Imagineering has pulled back the curtain to offer a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at how Disney Live Entertainment brought Grogu’s newest moment to life. The innovative experience, which features a projection show filled with whimsical shadow puppets, is a brand-new addition for guests to enjoy inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort.

The video, shared by the official Imagineering Instagram account, takes viewers into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park after dark, where crews are shown programming the nighttime projections on the spires of Batuu near the Millennium Falcon.

KC, a Video Systems Design Manager with Disney Live Entertainment, explains that the team was working on The Curious Child, a brand-new post-show connected to the upcoming theatrical release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Walt Disney Imagineering Reveals How The Curious Child Projection Show Was Created ()

This limited-time show plays immediately following Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga, the nighttime projection display that transforms the towering, rocky spires behind the Millennium Falcon into a massive storytelling canvas.

Rather than presenting the effect as a purely digital projection, KC describes the creative process as a modern form of traditional “shadow play.” The behind-the-scenes video highlights the team using simple physical cutouts and strategic light placement to create recognizable shapes, including Grogu’s signature silhouette. These physical shapes are then seamlessly translated into the larger projection environment, with the spires of Batuu effectively serving as the backdrop screen.

The behind-the-scenes footage pulls back the curtain on a specialized programming interface, showing how the unique rockwork and exact projector positions are meticulously mapped out on a computer. The display includes precisely labeled elements for both the physical terrain and the projectors, providing a fascinating glimpse into how the team perfectly aligns the digital show to the highly irregular surfaces of Galaxy’s Edge.

The video emphasizes a beautiful creative blend, illustrating how the team fused “ancient storytelling” techniques with cutting-edge modern show technology by seamlessly mixing practical shadow effects, animation, precise projection mapping, and dynamic lighting design.

One of the most compelling segments in the reel showcases the animation process behind Grogu’s silhouette. To ensure his distinct personality shines through, the production team utilized physical movement reference from animators and detailed choreography to help shape Grogu’s physical performance in shadow form.

Clocking in at roughly three minutes long, The Curious Child features Grogu (affectionately known as Baby Yoda) utilizing the Force to revisit fond memories of his vast travels alongside Din Djarin.

‘Tucci in Great Britain’ Set to Debut on Disney+

National Geographic's Tucci in Great Britain is coming soon to Disney+

Spanning five episodes—matching the concise length of each Tucci in Italy season—the upcoming series follows the host on an immersive culinary journey through his adopted homeland of Great Britain. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stanley Tucci will travel from the rugged Scottish Highlands to the storied coastlines of the U.K., unlocking the distinct and often surprising regional flavors that define British cuisine. Audiences will be able to watch the new docuseries exclusively on Disney+, Hulu, and National Geographic, which also serve as the streaming homes for his previous Italian food adventures.

Though American by birth and of proud Italian descent, Tucci has long called London home, where he resides with his wife, Felicity Blunt (sister of actress Emily Blunt), and their two children. Expressing his enthusiasm for the new project, Tucci shared, “I am very excited to explore the history, culture and people of Great Britain through the prism of food. Having made it my home for almost 15 years, I want to share the culinary diversity, richness and depth of its food culture.”

National Geographic executives are equally thrilled about the host’s next chapter. Tom McDonald, executive vice president of National Geographic content, praised the host’s unique screen presence, stating, “Stanley Tucci is one of a kind — smart, funny, authentic, passionate about food and culture and deeply interested in the stories of the people who make the very best food. That’s why I’m so excited that his next journey will be around Great Britain — the place he has called home for over a decade. The stories that Stanley and his team have unearthed will be sure to delight and surprise — a reminder of just how varied and delicious food in the U.K. truly is.”

Behind the scenes, Tucci in Great Britain is being brought to life by production companies Salt Productions and OBB. The executive producing lineup features an impressive collaborative team:

  • For Salt Productions: Stanley Tucci and Lottie Birmingham serve as executive producers, with Ben Jessop on board as co-executive producer.
  • For OBB Pictures: Michael D. Ratner, Scott Ratner, and Elias Tanner serve as executive producers.
  • For National Geographic: Yari Lorenzo steps in as executive producer, supported by Bengt Anderson (senior vice president of production) and Charlie Parsons (senior vice president of global development).

Tucci in Italy set the bar for how food storytelling can drive culture — and that’s exactly the kind of work OBB loves to create,” said Elias Tanner, OBB senior vice president of strategy and growth. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Stanley, Lottie, Tom, Nat Geo, and the whole team on this next chapter — exploring the often misunderstood yet truly rich food culture of Great Britain, and how it has been uniquely shaped by its history and people.”
