New Podcast: Our Top 5 Places to Visit That are NOT Disney
Posted by: Jennifer Marx 04/18/2018 (6 days ago)
This week Jennifer and Sara are sharing their Top 5 Places to go that (gasp!) are not Disney-related. Where do they go when they are not at Disney? Plus Disney news, listener celebrations, and more! Disney's Pixar Fest debuted last week at the Disneyland Resort in California, kicking off a resort-wide celebration that lasts the whole summer. The Pixar Play Parade and the Paint the Night Parade are both back, along with the brand-new "Together Forever - A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular" show. "UP! A Great Bird Adventure" officially opens on April 22, but the new show is currently in soft opening at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The UP-themed show features Russell and Dug from the Disney-Pixar film, a new host, and lots of awesome birds! Guests staying at Disney resorted hotels can now make FastPass+ reservations for Toy Story Land, which opens on June 30. Guests who are up to 60 days from their Walt Disney World Resort hotel check-in can choose one FastPass+ reservation for one of the Toy Story Land attractions, plus two other attractions in the park such as Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and more, depending on availability. According to the Disney Parks Blog, a new mobile ordering service will soon be available at the Disneyland Resort. Mobile ordering allows guests to place orders at select fast casual and quick-service restaurants using the Disneyland App from anywhere across the resort. You'll be able to select an arrival time window for pickup, choose items from the menu and place your order, all from the app. Also, Annual Passholders will be able to apply their discount to meal purchases using the app. Guests will notify the restaurant of their arrival on the app and an app notification will indicate the meal is ready to pick up at a designated window. No exact release date was announced. Something new is coming to Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom! The Pandora Conservation Initiative (PCI) has engineered a 10-foot-tall Exo-Carrier, a "Pandora Utility Suit," used to study the wildlife, collect plant samples, and survive Pandora's terrain. The design of the exo-carrier suit is inspired by the Amplified Mobility Platform (AMP) suits of power armor from the "AVATAR" movie. You will be able to interact with its pilot, who is strapped into the cockpit of the exo-carrier and controls its powerful movements. Check the Times Guide or the My Disney Experience App the day of your visit for the latest information. Woody's Lunch Box, the new quick-service eatery opening in Toy Story Land on June 30, will offer fun comfort food options! Breakfast menu items include S'more French Toast breakfast sandwich (chocolate ganache-and-marshmallow-stuffed French toast topped with graham cracker crumbles), Smoked Turkey sandwich (turkey, eggs, swiss, peppers, and onions on sourdough bread), a Breakfast Bowl (potato barrels, brisket-country gravy, and scrambled eggs). A lunch and dinner, you can get a BBQ Brisket Melt (Texas-style smoked brisket features cheddar, Monterey Jack, pickles, and BBQ sauce on garlic butter-grilled sourdough). Monte Cristo with Raspberry Jam (ham, turkey, Swiss, and raspberry jam), Totchos (potato barrels, corn chips, chili, and cheese), tomato basil soup, and vegetable macaroni salad. For dessert, there is Raspberry Lunch Box Tart, Chocolate-Hazelnut Lunch Box Tart (which is garnished with Icing and Caramelized Bacon), Banana Split Yogurt Parfait, and soda floats. There are also souvenir cups that have crabby claws! The insta-famous "Purple Wall" in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom has a new paint job. Instead of the solid light purple, the #DisneyWall now has a funky geometric design a little reminiscent of Spaceship Earth. It's still purple, but now in a variety of hues and shades. The good news is that there the new paint design is only on one section of the wall, so if you preferred the classic purple wall, you can still Instagram it. And if you have no idea what we're talking about or why you should care about the color of a wall at Disney, it's a famous photo stop for guests who like to use Instagram and has become a "thing."
