Time is of the essence, and we now know WHEN the Park Pass Reservation System will start!

We recently reported how the Park Pass Reservation System will work, and we are counting down the days until we can try to snag a reservation to get back in the parks!

Shout out to Theme Park Reporter, Carlye Wisel, for confirmation that the new Park Pass Reservation System will open at 7AM EST for guests with existing reservations on June 22. 

The Disney Parks Pass booking system will operate on the same time table as My Disney Experience’s FastPass+: 7am ET / 4am PT

We will continue to keep you posted on any other updates that come our way, never hesitate to ask us any questions about how the new system works. To get you started, be sure to follow these steps to prepare your My Disney Experience account.

The global health crisis has had a pretty big effect on the entertainment industry.

Just last week, we reported that AMC Theatres were working towards a summer reopening. Now, the movie theater chain has announced that they will be opening 450 U.S. locations on July 15th and the remaining 150 on July 24th.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the theaters are opening next month in time to screen Disney’s release of Mulan, initially releasing on July 24th.

AMC movie theaters are reopening on a phased model. Phase 1 (July 15th) will see capacity set at 30%, Phase 2 will see capacity at 40%, and Phase 3 (around Labor Day) will see capacity at 50%. AMC has noted that the theaters may not see full capacities until around Thanksgiving. Of course, there will also be new health and cleanliness measures in the theaters.

AMC CEO Adam Aron noted that they came up with their plan through consultation with The Clorox Company and Harvard University’s School of Public Health. “I cannot emphasize enough,” Aron said, “How much care and attention to detail we have taken in developing AMC Safe & Clean, our absolute commitment to optimizing the health and safety of our theaters for our guests and associates.

Some of the health measures that AMC is implementing include, new protocols for employees, sanitizing between showings, and rearranging concession sales. According to CNN reporter Frank Pallotta, AMC will be requiring guests to wear masks as well.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for any news about the Disney Springs locations, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates!

A few days ago, we shared the full list of programs Disney+ would be releasing next month!

There’s some really exciting stuff including Hamilton, Muppets Now, as well as a new travel series called Rogue Trip — to name just a few of the things we’re looking forward to being released soon!

But it looks like Disney+ has suddenly (and very quietly) stopped offering its 7-day free trial of the subscription service in the United States. U.S. residents are no longer able to download the app for free, but instead must commit to purchasing at least one month of the service if they wish to view any of this new exclusive content!

In a statement to The Verge, a Disney spokesperson shared, “We continue to test and evaluate different marketing, offers, and promotions to grow Disney+. The service was set at an attractive price-to-value proposition that we believe delivers a compelling entertainment offering on its own.”

Disney+ currently costs $6.99, or $12.99 if you purchase the Hulu and ESPN Plus bundle. 

See a FULL list of programs coming to Disney+ here!

What do you think of Disney+’s timing with removing their free trial offer? Do you think it has something to do with Hamilton coming out soon? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
