Eager Marvel Studios fan have been waiting for an update on the development of the upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings movie. The movie’s release was pushed back due to COVID-19 shutting down the film production earlier this year. The superhero movie is currently set to premiere in theaters on May 7, 2021, but the studio needs to wrap-up filming within the next few months to avoid any further delay.

A new report indicates that filming may resume in late July. Marvel Studios is hoping to continue filming in Australia later this month. The cast and crew of Shang-Chi are expected to self-quarantine for two weeks upon arriving in Australia. They are being cautious by taking “baby steps” to ensure the health and safety of all those involved in production. Also, Shang-Chi is the second movie from Walt Disney Studios that is returning to film production following 20th Century Studios’ Avatar 2 which resumed production last month in New Zealand.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is an America superhero film based upon the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Disney World Annual Passholder Glitch charges guests for multiple months

Disney World Annual Passholders awoke to a surprise this morning, myself included… They awoke to multiple month charges on their accounts unexpectedly. Some AP’s were charged anywhere from 1-4 months at once, I was hit up for 2 months worth of charges.

Reports online are stating that it is a computer glitch, one that Disney is working on correcting now. Guests are being notified when they call in that Disney is aware of the issue and they are in the process of offering refunds for those who were charged.

Disney released the following statement on the computer glitch:

“Passholders on the monthly payment program were incorrectly charged today. We are in the process of reversing these charges and apologize for the inconvenience this caused.”

Official statement from Disney World regarding today’s passholder payment error:

“Passholders on the monthly payment program were incorrectly charged today. We are in the process of reversing these charges and apologize for the inconvenience this caused.” https://t.co/duXa1vCCSP

In the past week, Disney cast members began returning to work for training. Walt Disney World cast members are preparing for a reopening with a focus on health and safety. Today, we are seeing the Epcot cast members working towards completing their training for accommodating guests when they return to Disney!

The Epcot team of cast members are excited to reopen the park and make the experience magical for those who visit the theme park. It’s been months since we’ve last seen World Showcase in person or rode attractions such as Test Track. Due to the recent pandemic, the Disney company is putting new safety protocols into effect to help ensure the health and safety for guests visiting Disney World. We thank the cast members for their hard work and for helping with the new health protocols.

The reopening of the Disney Parks is just a few days away. Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom reopen on July 11, 2020. Then Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopen on July 15, 2020. We are excited to soon return to the Disney theme parks and seeing our favorite attractions! Let us know in the comments if any of our fans will be visiting Disney World later this summer.

Disney Reduces Price on All Reusable Bags at Disney Springs

While visiting Disney Springs today we noticed that Disney has reduced the price of all reusable shopping bags to $1.00

In an effort to promote an eco-friendly alternative to plastic shopping bags Disney made the transition to reusable bags back in 2019.

All sizes ranging from small to large, are now $1.00 each.

You can find these reusable bags in a variety of styles and designs pretty much anywhere you find Disney Merchandise for sale…
