Have you ever wondered what it would be like to roam the Earth 65 million years ago, surrounded by dinosaurs and ancient plants? The Prehistoric Garden at Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival is bringing the prehistoric world to life. Nestled in the World Discovery area near Mission: SPACE, this unique garden is a must-see for both dinosaur enthusiasts and plant lovers.

The display features large bowl-shaped planters, each one a mini prehistoric scene. Within these bowls, the plants are arranged to mimic how they might have looked in the wild, creating a lush and untamed landscape.

Scattered throughout the garden, flat rocks serve as faux fossils, with dinosaur skeletons and eggs artfully embedded in them. Each dinosaur figure transforms its display into a captivating scene, inviting guests to explore and imagine what life would have been like when these creatures roamed the Earth.

The Prehistoric Garden will have all of its finishing touches installed prior to the start of the International Flower and Garden Festival, which will run at EPCOT from February 28 to May 27, 2024.

Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been closed since January for refurbishment. Disney has recently filed additional permits related to the refurbishment, which is slated to run into the summer.

The new permits do not point toward any changes coming to the ride. The popular coaster had experienced extended down times leading up to the closure. The refurbishment work, and subsequent permits, are likely tied to the issues behind those extended down times.

The ride closes around the same time each year for refurbishment, with these closures typically accompanied by the perennial rumor that Aerosmith will be replaced. No indication from Disney hints at any changes to the ride, including replacing Aerosmith with any other band.

The landscape of EPCOT has been changing drastically thanks to all of the construction that is ongoing throughout the park. The former Future World has been replaced by several distinct neighborhoods. To help guests navigate around this updated section of the park, Disney has installed temporary signage on World Showcase Bridge ahead of a more permanent sign being installed.

The temporary signage direct guests to continue straight to head into World Showcase, hang a left to head towards World Discovery, or to turn right to travel to World Nature.

The tempoary signage is another step towards completion of the multi-year effort to update and refresh EPCOT, which has seen not only the transformation of Future World into new neighborhoods, but also various buildings in World Showcase being refreshed.

Dreaming of snagging one of Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs delicious delicacies while strolling around Disney’s Boardwalk Resort? It appears this dream will soon become reality, as the stand is really starting to take shape!

The stand is currently tucked behind some temporary shrubbery, which provide separation between guests walking along the Boardwalk and the construction that is ongoing inside the stand. The stand appears to be painted, and the exterior lighting is installed. While we cannot see the interior of the stand, based on the exterior it appears the stand is close to opening!

Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, which currently operates out of a kiosk in Downtown Disney at Disneyland, is bringing their tasty treats to the East Coast. When open, the menu will likely mimic the Disneyland Menu, which features a variety of Corn Dogs, including a Classic Corn Dog, a Pickle Corn Dog (Hot Dog, wrapped in a Pickle, fried in Cornmeal Batter, and Panko Crusted. Served with a Bag of Chips and Peanut Butter), and a Golden Dragon Dog (Classic, All-Beef Corn Dog, crusted with Panko Breadcrumbs. Served with a side of Sriracha Mayo, sweet Thai chili, and a Bag of Chips).

New Coca-Cola Location Opening Soon in Hollywood Studios

A new Coca-Cola location will be opening soon in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The space is on Grand Avenue near Muppet Vision 3D.

Construction walls have been up around the area for months now but we can see the top of the building peeking out above them. Artwork has been installed on the walls opposite the Muppets theater, and the exterior of the building appears to be finished.

The kiosk is situated along the main pathway leading into Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, while the original snack kiosk in the vicinity has been relocated across the street.

The artwork we can see says, “Ice Cold Hydraulics Los Angeles, California” on two sides of the building. The address of the building is put above the other artwork on one side as well. It reads, “725 Grand Avenue”.

The new location looks like it could open soon! Are you excited to see what drinks you can get there?

Self Service Build-Your-Own Lightsaber Experience Returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios After Almost 4 Years

Self Service Build-Your-Own Lightsaber Experience Returns to Disney’s Hollywood Studios After Almost 4 Years

After almost four years, the self-service build-your-own lightsaber experience has returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The experience is located in Tatooine Traders and guests can now make their lightsaber without Cast Member assistance.

Upon reopening in July 2020 following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Walt Disney World made substantial adjustments to the build-your-own lightsaber experience to adhere to physical distancing regulations and implement rigorous sanitization measures. Under the new protocols, only a limited number of guests were permitted to construct a lightsaber simultaneously, with a Cast Member providing a single bin of parts to each group.

Now, guests have regained the opportunity to independently explore the complete range of parts, select their components, experiment with different combinations, and assemble their lightsabers without the need for Cast Members to oversee the process. However, Cast Members remain available to assist guests and provide explanations as needed.

This experience comes at a considerably lower cost compared to the handbuilt lightsaber experience at Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Guests have the opportunity to try their hand at building a lightsaber before making a purchase decision. Additionally, the lightsabers at Tatooine Traders are made of plastic rather than metal and it is a less immersive experience.

Above the bins of lightsaber parts, the steps for assembling a lightsaber are clearly outlined. Guests select an emitter, blade, and hilt, followed by customizing the hilt and selecting an end cap or adapter. With multiple bins and stations available, several guests can simultaneously craft their lightsabers.

The collapsible lightsaber blades are available in purple, white, green, yellow, blue, and red. There are numerous options for emitters and hilts to choose from. Guests have the flexibility to construct either a single-blade lightsaber or a double-blade lightsaber, reminiscent of Darth Maul’s. Additionally, there is a deluxe emitter option resembling Kylo Ren’s lightsaber emitter.

Pricing varies depending on what type of lightsaber you build. A single-blade saber is $29.99 while a double-blade saber is $44.99.

Have you ever built your own lightsaber at Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

EPCOT’s CommuniCore Hall Construction Update

EPCOT’s CommuniCore Hall Construction Update

Work continues in Epcot on the CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in World Celebration. We don’t have an exact opening date other than “2024”. We recently visited the park and got a look at the construction.

Fresh plywood paneling has been mounted on a wall of CommuniCore Hall, positioned towards the World Nature area. The plywood doesn’t fully encase the wall, leaving rectangular gaps that indicate alternative paneling may be fitted in those areas.

Some of the building is covered in white paneling. In one section, there are triangular panels reminiscent of Spaceship Earth. Some are arranged in three-dimensional pyramid shapes, while others lie flat. This area of the building is adorned with black blocks along its edges. Some of the pyramids are embellished with colorful accents.

CommuniCore Hall is planned to incorporate a permanent meet and greet space for Mickey & Friends, a demonstration kitchen, a gallery, and a mixology bar. Meanwhile, CommuniCore Plaza will feature a stage for live performances.

CommuniCore Hall and Plaza derive their names from the original CommuniCore pavilions that debuted alongside EPCOT on its opening day. Subsequently, the CommuniCore pavilions underwent a name change to Innoventions. Innoventions West was razed to facilitate the construction of Journey of Water, Inspired by “Moana,” as well as the festival pavilion. Meanwhile, Innoventions East and Electric Umbrella were transformed into Connections Café and Eatery.

Are you looking forward to seeing CommuniCore Hall completed?

Cake Bake Shop Construction Update for February 2024

Construction continues on the new Cake Bake Shop coming to Disney’s BoardWalk! The restaurant was originally supposed to open in 2023 but the opening has been pushed back.

Disney says, “The Cake Bake Shop will bring exquisite dining, delicious Afternoon Tea, delectable desserts, marvelous champagne and fanciful cocktails for an extraordinary and whimsical experience. “

Although we haven’t determined an exact opening date yet, based on the current progress, it appears unlikely that we’ll witness its opening until the summer, at the earliest.

The walls are still up around the restaurant with signs showing pictures of the foods we can expect to see offered along with the words “Coming Soon”. We can see the top half of the building which is covered in blue exterior construction material.

Are you looking forward to the Cake Bake Shop opening sometime this year?
