A Sprinkle of Magic
Summer is in full-swing all around us, and that has brought with it many much-anticipated experiences throughout our favorite Disney Destinations. Keep reading to find out more!
Hugs! Hugs are back!
Our favorite characters are sharing hugs and autographs again, and wow, did we miss those!! We will get to see some old friends… looking at you Chewbacca! And some new friends as well… Encanto fans now have the chance to see Maribel in the Disney Adventures Friends Cavalcade in Magic Kingdom.
Did someone say “makeover”?
Magic Makeovers will be returning at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland beginning August 25. And Magic Kingdom's Harmony Barbershop, the most magical place for that oh-so-important first haircut, reopens July 31.
Newly Imagined Experiences? Yes, please!
Park entertainment continues to delight guests with the return of newly-reimagined Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond at Animal Kingdom, along with the full Festival of the Lion King experience (Who else is ready to see those Tumble Monkeys?!). At Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, you can watch movies and make s’mores at Chip n Dale’s Campfire Sing-a-Long or sing and dance along with our friends at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue. At Disneyland, you can catch both World of Color and the nostalgic Main Street Electrical Parade. And over at Aulani - a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii, Aunty’s Beach House is once again welcoming kids for daily activities by day, and for the first time ever, experiences for the entire family to enjoy will be available each evening.
Food! Wine! Oh Boy!
You won’t want to miss this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, set to begin July 14 and running all the way through November 19! That’s plenty of time to grab a cheese-filled beignet in France or an Irish warm chocolate pudding cake.
Hello, New Adventures!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT is a family thrill attraction with the first-ever reverse launch on a Disney coaster and is one of the largest fully-enclosed coasters in the world. Are you up for the mission to help the Guardians save the world!?
Not a Dream, It’s a WISH!
Make all your wishes come true on Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish. This incredible ship will immerse guests in Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar adventures in brand new ways and is filled with one-of-a-kind entertainment including AquaMouse — the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, all-new family dining experiences themed to “Frozen” and Marvel, and interactive kids’ clubs where young imagineers and superheroes can let their imaginations soar. The Disney Wish will sail year-round from Port Canaveral, offering three- and four-night Bahamas cruises to Nassau and Disney’s private island oasis, Castaway Cay, beginning July 14. And we have the very special opportunity to get a sneak peak in a pre-inaugural sailing next week. Follow along with our Classic Travel Connection Instagram and Facebook pages for all the fun!
