Disney+ today released a captivating new trailer and key art for the highly anticipated live-action Marvel Television series, “Agatha All Along.” The series will delve into the mysterious and intriguing world of Agatha Harkness, the iconic character portrayed by Kathryn Hahn in the acclaimed Marvel Studios series “WandaVision.”
The showrunner for “Agatha All Along” is none other than Jac Schaeffer, the creative mind behind “WandaVision.” Schaeffer also directs the pilot episode, promising a seamless continuation of Agatha’s story.
The series follows Agatha Harkness as she embarks on a perilous adventure filled with trials and tribulations after a goth Teen breaks her free from a distorted spell. Intrigued by the Teen’s plea to embark on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet that rewards successful witches with what they lack, Agatha forms a desperate coven and begins their perilous journey.

“Agatha All Along” premieres exclusively on Disney+ on September 18th at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET with a double-episode debut.
Peter Pan’s Flight Takes Flight for Refurbishment at Walt Disney World
Neverland will be temporarily grounded for refurbishment! Peter Pan’s Flight, a beloved attraction at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, has closed its doors for a makeover.
The pixie dust settles from July 8th until August 20th, with a scheduled reopening set for August 21st, 2024. While details remain under wraps, a recently filed permit hints at “set element installations,” suggesting some changes might be in store for Peter Pan’s flight path.
This refurbishment comes amidst ongoing discussions about cultural sensitivity in Disney attractions. Peter Pan’s Flight has been criticized for its portrayal of Native Americans, with some scenes considered outdated and stereotypical. Specifically, the “Indian Village” and its inhabitants have raised concerns about perpetuating harmful tropes.
Disney has been addressing such issues across its parks and properties. Recent updates to Jungle Cruise, Country Bear Jamboree, and Splash Mountain removed racially insensitive elements, promoting a more inclusive and culturally sensitive atmosphere.
Whether Peter Pan’s Flight will receive similar adjustments remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: Neverland is getting a refresh!

The message is clear and bright: “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Now Open.” The iconic Magic Kingdom wordmark rests in the bottom right corner, leaving no doubt about where the fun awaits!
Located near Disney Springs around exit 68, this billboard serves as a colorful reminder that the reimagined attraction officially opened its doors at Magic Kingdom on June 28th. So, buckle up for a musical Mardi Gras journey through the bayou with Tiana and her crew!

Behind the Scenes Look at Disney’s Country Bear Musical Jamboree
Walt Disney World is about to get a whole lot twangier as the Country Bear Musical Jamboree is set to open its doors next week. The beloved bears are returning with a brand-new show, featuring reimagined Disney tunes in a variety of country styles, from bluegrass and Americana to rockabilly and beyond.
Fans can expect to hear some of their favorite Disney classics with a country twist, including “Try Everything” from “Zootopia” and “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin.” As revealed in the latest episode of “We Call It Imagineering,” the bears have been hard at work perfecting their new sound, ready to delight audiences of all ages.
Before the show officially opens on July 17th, Disney is offering a sneak peek behind the scenes, introducing the individual bears and providing a glimpse into the creation of the new musical numbers.
After an inspirational hibernation season, Ursus H. Bear set out to create a permanent cultural showplace dedicated to America’s musical heritage. In 1898, Ursus established Grizzly Hall where the honey tycoon-turned-impresario invited tuneful bruins to present zany and captivating performances in a show that quickly became known as a wild and wooly good time!
Henry
Years later, Ursus’s grandson Henry took over and now serves as the master of bear-emonies. He even helped develop the current show and co-wrote the opening song with the Five Bear Rugs.
Five Bear Rugs
Speaking of the Five Bear Rugs, there’s Zeke and Zeb and Ted and Fred and a bear named Tennessee, and they’re all playing with real ol’ country rhythm.
If you look to the bottom right of the stage, you’ll even see Zeb’s son, Oscar, holding a Big Al plush.
Trixie
One of the Country Bears’ most veteran performers is the one and only Trixie. After trying everything, she eventually found her niche for performing. Now fans can find her singing away with triplets Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah.
Bunny, Bubbles and Beulah
Originally known as The Sun Bonnets, these girls recently turned in their bonnets for Stetsons when they began singing with Trixie around the world, including a sold-out engagement at Royal Ursa Hall.
Teddi Barra
Not to be outdone by Trixie is The Jewel of the Dakotas, Teddi Barra. Her rise in show biz was meteoric after being discovered in an ice cream parlor.
Wendell
Wendell, on the other hand, was a frustrated basketball, baseball and football player until Henry invited him to try carrying a tune, and he’s been part of the Country Bears gang ever since. He’s thrilled to finally sing a love song with Teddi, much to the dismay of his old friend Henry.
Ernest the Dude
Ernest the Dude is one of the best-dressed bears guests will see at Grizzly Hall – he brings his entire wardrobe wherever he goes. For those counting, that’s 17 trunks filled with 30 coats, 40 slacks, 60 shirts, 20 hats and a pair and a half of underwear.
Terrence, aka Shaker
Ernest and Trixie aren’t the only actors in the bear band. Terrence, aka Shaker, was once a famous theater star until a fall from the balcony in “Romeo and Juliet” brought the house down – literally.
Ever since that fateful night, he turned in his tights for a guitar and created a signature dance move that he’s used ever since. Don’t worry about Terrence, though. Despite having a face only a Mama Bear could love – and being perpetually single – he’s ready to launch his film career.
Romeo McGrowl
Speaking of starting a new chapter, one bear is ready to enter his next era of singing rockabilly. Of course, I’m referring to none other than the Miami Serenader himself, Romeo McGrowl.
Gomer
Our resident piano player Gomer also knows a thing or two about rebrands. Having been classically trained since he was a cub, Gomer’s favorite composition before switching to country and western music was “Night on Bear Mountain.”
Big Al
And of course, what would the Country Bears be without Big Al? There’s music in this bear’s blood, and he’s been playing the guitar since he was a child.
He was even the resident bard and balladeer in the swamp before Disney World was built. Coming off his 25th Farewell Tour in cities like Paris (Texas), Hollywood (Florida) and London (Ohio), Big Al is a true legend.
The Country Bear Musical Jamboree promises to be a rootin’ tootin’ good time for the whole family, filled with toe-tapping music, heartwarming humor, and the charm that has made the Country Bears a Disney classic for generations. So dust off your cowboy hats and get ready to do-si-do your way into this musical adventure!

Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition) Review
Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition) by Ravensburger is a fresh and enchanting addition to the world of cooperative board games. Releasing on July 21, 2024, this game has already garnered attention for its unique blend of dynamic gameplay, stunning components, and the beloved Disney and Pixar characters that players get to control. Priced at $29.99, this game promises to deliver an engaging and magical experience for families and Disney fans alike.
One of the first things that stands out about Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls is the quality of its components. Ravensburger has a reputation for producing high-quality games, and this one is no exception. The hero movers, representing iconic characters like Moana, Violet from The Incredibles, Maid Marian from Robin Hood, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast, are beautifully crafted.
These radiant crystal versions of the heroines are not only visually appealing but also durable, ensuring they can withstand many gaming sessions. The attention to detail in these figures is impressive, continuing the longstanding tradition of excellence that fans have come to expect from Ravensburger.
One of the most significant aspects of Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls is its customizable playboard. Each gaming session can be different from the last, thanks to the ability to build and modify the playboard. This feature keeps the game fresh and exciting, as players can create new challenges and strategies each time they play. The variety of characters also adds to the replayability, as each heroine has unique objectives and abilities. Questing with different characters offers a fresh gaming experience, encouraging players to explore new tactics and approaches.
The cooperative nature of the game is another standout feature. Unlike many board games that focus on competition, Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls encourages teamwork and collaboration. Players must work together to form alliances and strategize against the shadows of infamous Disney Villains. This cooperative playstyle is particularly appealing for families, as it fosters communication and joint problem-solving. It’s a refreshing change from the competitive archetype often seen in board games, making it an excellent choice for those looking to strengthen their family bonds through gaming.
Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls is designed for players aged 8 and older, making it accessible to a broad audience. The game’s mechanics are straightforward enough for younger players to grasp, yet engaging enough to hold the attention of older players and adults. The style of gameplay mimics elements of a light role-playing game (RPG) with a tabletop feel, which will likely appeal to younger audiences and Disney enthusiasts. The ability to team up with three additional players adds to the fun, as families and friends can come together to enjoy the magical adventure.
Games take an average of 45-60 minutes to complete, striking a perfect balance between being long enough to be engaging but not so lengthy that players lose interest. This duration is ideal for family game nights or casual gatherings, providing ample time for players to immerse themselves in the game’s world without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The pacing of the game ensures that there is always something to do, keeping all players involved and invested in the outcome.
Beyond its entertainment value, Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls offers several educational and social benefits. The game encourages critical thinking and strategic planning, as players must carefully consider their moves and work together to achieve their objectives. It also promotes teamwork and communication, skills that are valuable in many aspects of life. For younger players, the game can be a fun way to develop these skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
Ultimately, Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls (Disney Edition) is a fantastic addition to any board game collection. With its high-quality components, customizable playboard, and cooperative gameplay, it offers a unique and enjoyable experience for players of all ages. The inclusion of beloved Disney and Pixar heroines adds a magical touch, making the game especially appealing to fans of these franchises. Whether you’re a seasoned board gamer or new to the hobby, this game is sure to provide hours of fun and excitement.
The attention to detail, replayability, and cooperative nature of Chronicles of Light: Darkness Falls make it a standout title in the realm of family board games. It’s a game that brings people together, encourages teamwork, and allows players to embark on a magical adventure in the Realm of Light. Priced at $29.99, it’s an excellent value for the quality and experience it offers. So gather your family and friends, choose your favorite Disney heroine, and get ready to drive back the shadows and restore light to the realm.
Exciting updates have been spotted in Living With the Land at EPCOT, as Disney continues to refresh elements of this classic attraction. This week, two notable updates have brought new life to the beloved boat ride.
In the American prairie scene, guests will be thrilled to see the return of lightning strikes and a brush fire in the distance. These effects, which were deactivated or broken for years, are now back and better than ever. Enhanced with new thunder sounds, the improved effects add a dramatic flair to the prairie landscape, enriching the storytelling and overall guest experience on this educational and entertaining journey.
These updates join improvements that were put in place earlier this year, which saw the rainforest scene having updated blue-tone lighting installed, enhancing the immersive experience for guests. Now, a section of this scene features deep red lighting, adding to the visual dynamics and making the environment even more captivating.
Two beloved stage shows performed on the stage in front of Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle, “Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire” and “Let the Magic Begin,” will not be performed for the next three weeks due to a refurbishment of the stage area. Guests will have to wait until July 28 for these performances to resume.
This refurbishment is strategically timed to prepare the stage for the upcoming holiday season, including Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party which features a Halloween stage show along with a special fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington. Ensuring the stage is in top condition is crucial for the smooth execution of these popular events.
While the temporary absence of these shows may disappoint some guests, Magic Kingdom offers plenty of other attractions, parades, and character meet-and-greets to enjoy. Guests visiting Magic Kingdom toward the end of the month will want to keep an eye on the MyDisneyExperience app for up-to-date information on the status of the stage re-opening.

The new location will be the first in Florida. The shop will offer champagne and other beverages alongside bakery items and light fare in an elegant French bakery themed setting.
Come enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, desserts and cocktails in an exquisite atmosphere filled with magic and wonder while you take in views of Crescent Lake.
