This week Jennifer and Sara are answering listener questions about Disney trips and cruises! We talk about traveling with a group, updates on the construction at Coronado Springs, making dining reservations, crowds at the All-Star resorts, and lots more. Plus an update from AllEars.net and listener celebrations! Multiple website are reporting that the Tomorrowland Speedway at the Magic Kingdom will be closing in 2018, to be replaced by a "TRON'-themed coaster. Reportedly the new coaster will be similar to the current TRON attraction at Shanghai Disneyland. Until confirmed by Disney, this is still rumor. More information is likely to be announced at this week's D23 Expo. Mobile Ordering is currently available through the My Disney Experience at Flame Tree Barbecue, Pizzafari, Restaurtantosaurus, and Satuli Canteen at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as D-Luxe Burger at Disney Springs. Beginning July 11, 2017, it will be added to the Tomorrowland Terrace. Other Magic Kingdom restaurants will reportedly be added soon.
Disneyland is now accepting reservations for rooms and packages for 2018 travel. Travel can be booked up to 499 days in advance. Posted by: Jennifer Marx 07/07/2017
Are you going to the D23 Expo? Sara will be attending her fourth Expo next week and this week is sharing her tips on making the most of the Expo! Jennifer has a craft corner update, we will share what is new over at AllEars.Net, talk Disney news, and celebrate with our listeners. The Disney Parks Blog has announced some major changes coming to Disney's Yacht Club Resort. The Market at Ale & Compass is the new quick service dining location that opened recently offering ready-made and made-to-order items. The Ale & Compass Lounge is getting a serious facelift and expansion when it re-opens in October 2017. The lounge will have 58 seats and will offer classic cocktails and light bites. Captain's Grille is becoming the Ale & Compass Restaurant. A 'gastropub' concept will feature New England comfort food, and will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The tethered hot air balloon attraction in Disney Springs recently replaced the "envelope" (aka the balloon) with a new design that does not feature characters. With the new balloon design comes a new name - 'Aerophile.'
