Meanwhile, Din Djarin and his young charge had been engaging fans at Disneyland on a daily basis for several months.
It was noted that, alongside Boba Fett and Fennec Shand, these characters weren’t initially slated to appear at Disney’s Hollywood Studios due to the constrained timeline of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
However, with the permanent closure of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, there is potential for a broader roster of characters to join the scene on Batuu at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Live Action Snow White Remake Gets Official Release Date
Amidst the widespread production pause faced by numerous feature films and TV shows due to ongoing writers’ and actors’ strike action, one renowned remake has successfully navigated the challenges of creativity. The live-action adaptation of Disney’s timeless animated classic, Snow White (1937), has emerged from the creative ordeal, as reported by The Direct. Marking its place in the calendar, the film is slated for an official release on March 22nd, 2024.
This suggests Disney still intends to release the live-action remake in March 2024, even though the writers’ and actors’ strikes could prevent reshoots and its stars from promoting the film.
Following the trend of Disney’s recent remakes, the latest incarnation of this legendary narrative hasn’t escaped its share of criticism over the past year. Many people are upset including the director of the direction this Disney Live Action Movie is taking…
Nevertheless, the project, featuring Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen and Rachel Zeglar as the enchanting Snow White appears to have remained resilient against the wave of negativity.
Both positive and negative anticipation builds as Disney’s live-action rendition of Snow White prepares to grace the silver screen on March 22nd, 2024 for now…
Do you have plans to see Disney’s Live Action Snow White in theaters?

Jamie Lee Curtis’ Madame Leota Costume on Display in Disneyland
Jamie Lee Curtis’ Madame Leota costume from the new ‘Haunted Mansion’ film is currently on display at Disneyland! Guests can take a look at the costume as well as concept art at The Disneyland Gallery on Main Street U.S.A.
Jamie Lee Curtis’ character of Madame Leota appears briefly in her mortal state in the film. The costume she wears is the one on display. The costume is comprised of an elaborate red robe with gem-encrusted trim, and a large circular headdress.
The robe is exquisitely embroidered with white beads and flower designs. The mannequin is also holding Leota’s peacock feather fan from the film. The headdress is also embroidered and features white fringe dangling across the forehead.
Behind the costume is a backdrop featuring the purple wallpaper from the Haunted Mansion attraction. Next to the costume you’ll see a crystal ball on a stand. That’s the crystal ball we typically see Madame Leota’s floating head in.
Inside The Disney Gallery you’ll also see framed concept art showing different scene designs for Gracey Manor in “Haunted Mansion.”
Take some time to look around the gallery and really appreciate the artistry that goes into Disney’s films and attractions.

We Finally got to see The Seven Dwarfs at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Rare characters are one of the highlights of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. The Seven Dwarfs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are some of those awesome rare characters that guests can meet at the party!
All seven dwarfs (Happy, Sneezy, Bashful, Sleepy, Grumpy, Dopey, and Doc) meet guests together at Pete’s Silly Side Show in Magic Kingdom. They are seated in front of a backdrop designed to look like the entrance to a mine.
If you want or need to meet these famous dwarfs, get in line early! This meet and greet is extremely popular. The line was over 3 hours long when we went to the party last week. You can get in line before the party starts at 7 pm but you’ll need your party bracelet.
Another super popular meet and greet is Jack Skellington and Sally. They meet guests at Town Square Theater. Their line was also up to 3 hours long so get in line early if meeting them is a must for you!

Disney World Eliminating Self Service Lids and Straws
Disney World is beginning to remove self-service lids and straws at its quick service and snack locations throughout the resort. Starting today, paper straws and plastic lids will only be available on request.
Disney previously got rid of all single-use plastic straws and stirrers and replaced them with paper straws. Now, paper straws and plastic lids will no longer be available in guest areas for self-service. Guests will need to request a lid and/or straw if they wish to use them.
Disney is working to achieve zero waste to landfill by 2030 for its parks, resorts, and cruise line.
If you’ve used paper straws at Disney World before, then you know how gross they can get. If you really want to use a straw with your drinks, we recommend bringing your own reusable ones from home.
What do you think about Disney’s straw and lid policy?
