At the start of the parks’ temporary closure, all of Disney’s Skyliner gondolas were put away for safekeeping.

Disney World

And while we just saw the carousel at Disney Springs’ marketplace spinning along with Cinderella Castle receiving her royal makeover, you won’t believe what else we just saw!

Disney’s Skyliner gondolas have returned to their tracks and they’re on the move once more! Man, we’ve really missed seeing these guys! The wires looked so naked without them!

Disney’s Skyliner

Keep in mind, Disney World hasn’t indicated whether or not Disney’s Skyliner will resume when some of the hotels begin to reopen on June 22nd or when the theme parks reopen July 11th and July 15th.

Disney’s Skyliner

So far we only know details about a few modes of transportation that will be back on track soon including Disney’s Magical Express airport shuttle as well as the buses that transport guests back and forth from the theme parks and resort hotels. Disney has also shared the monorail and ferry boats will be operating, but service will be limited due to reduced capacity.

Disney’s Skyliner

Disney has also confirmed Minnie Vans won’t be operating, so the only thing missing is what’s going to happen with Disney’s Skyliner? We’re eager to hear more information and we’re taking the gondolas being out as a GOOD sign we might find out something soon!

Have you had the chance to ride on Disney’s Skyliner? Let us know if you have in the comments below!

World of Disney

Yesterday, there was an entire display of new Monsters University stuff! And today, well…take a look for yourself!

We gotta warn you guys what we’re about to show you is ridiculously cute! Nobody warned us this morning when we first saw it and we just about fell over laughing!

It’s Stitch!

Look at this hilarious new Stitch Hat! Is it just us, or is this thing totally insane? It’s so funny that we LOVE it. Just look at its nubby little toofers!

Stitch Hat

The new Stitch Hat features an adjustable velcro strap so you can make it fit as snuggly as you want it!

You’ve GOTTA See How Construction Is Progressing on Cinderella Castle in Disney World!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com

It’s been a long time since the last time we stood in front of our beloved castle! And we’ll be able to see it again on July 11th when Magic Kingdom reopens!

Cinderella Castle

And as you may recall, Cinderella Castle had just begun to receive her royal makeover shortly before the parks closed. The rosy gold paint job was going up FAST, but due to the temporary closures, all construction projects were put on hold!

But thanks to DFB Reader @bioreconstruct, we can see work on Cinderella Castle has once again resumed! These are ariel photos of how the castle looks TODAY!

Is it just us, or does the royal makeover seem to be happening at lightspeed? Look at all those cherrypickers!

In this shot, you can actually see folks standing in Fantasyland! Could they be training? Maybe!

The rest of the park is ghostly calm and quiet — almost as empty as Magic Kingdom appeared on the first day of Disney World’s closure, but not for very much longer!

We’re so excited to see this sneak peek of Cinderella Castle and see how gorgeous she’s looking! There’s still a lot of work to be done, but judging by these photos, we’re wondering if Disney World is hoping to welcome us all with a completely-finished castle! Only time will tell!

Are you surprised to see how fast Cinderella Castle’s refurb is happening? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

NEWS: Universal Orlando Lifts Summer Blockout Dates for Select Annual Passholders

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 12, 2020

Universal Orlando reopened a little over a week ago to greet all sorts of guests, show off its new Virtual Queue system, and introduce U-Rest locations (even if there were some bumps in the road throughout the day).

The Simpsons

Prior to reopening to the general public, Universal Orlando offered Annual Passholder previews. And now, Universal is doing something else for APs eager to hang out at the parks again.

According to the website, Universal has lifted some of the blockout dates on passes throughout the summer.

Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Studios Florida Seasonal Passes July blockout dates have been lifted.

And that seems to be the case for Islands of Adventure as well.

Volcano Bay is switching a lot things up by removing many blockout dates for the 3-Park passes available for guests. The 3-Park Seasonal Pass and 3-Park Power Annual Pass will both be lifting their June and August blockout dates. And, the 3-Park Preferred Annual Pass will also no longer have lockout dates for the month of August.

Although there are a lot of blockout dates being lifted, the 3-Park Power Annual Pass and 3-Park Preferred Annual Pass will still have blockouts that apply before 4PM throughout July.

Hogwarts Express

This gives AP even more opportunities to kick back and relax with a Lard Lad Donut in one hand and a chilly Butterbeer in the other.

We’re keeping our eye out to see what update Disney World and Disneyland share about their Annual Passes. Will they lift blockout dates? Only time shall tell. As of right now, many things dealing with Disney World Annual Passes, including their current expiration dates, are still very up in the air. So be sure to check the blog for the latest info!
