It’s 4th of July weekend and you know what that means!

4TH OF JULY TREATS! Thanks to a reader, we just got word that one of our favorite patriotic cocktails from last year has returned! We’re heading over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to sip on red-white-and-blue-est libation — the Uncle Slam!

The Uncle Slam is available at Polynesian Village Resort’s Barefoot Pool Bar for $12.75. If you snag it, you’ll be sipping on an all-American combo of Bacardi Silver rum blended with Cream of Coconut, Pineapple Juice, and Strawberry Puree, with a floater of Blue Curacao.

We tried this bad boy last year and we were pretty big fans. The drink is kind of similar to a Miami Vice and has a lot of really awesome flavor. Plus, how can you NOT drink a red, white, and blue cocktail for the 4th of July?

If you’re staying or have a dining reservation at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, head on over to Barefoot Pool Bar to celebrate the holiday weekend!

Does the Uncle Slam sound totally delish to you? Tell us in the comments!

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.

With Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s Annual Passholder previews and grand reopenings scheduled for next week, final preparations are being made to welcome back guests.

And while earlier, we shared some of biorecontruct’s aerial photography of Cinderalla Castle before we were able to catch a glimpse of the Magic Kingdom icon with our own eyes, we’re back to show you some new photos of the probable temperature check tents that are being set up outside the entrance of each theme park!

Things are subject to change and Disney hasn’t confirmed if these locations are actually temperature checkpoints or not, but we wanted to pass this info along to you!

Click here to learn everything you’ll need to know about temperature checks in Disney World!

biorecontruct has marked each potential temperature check tent with a yellow arrow so you can get some idea of where they’ll be on opening day.

The temperature check tent for Magic Kingdom is stationed next to the bus drop off area before reaching bag check. 

At the TTC, several tents have been placed since we know Disney World’s monorail service to Magic Kingdom will resume July 11th.

Meanwhile, Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ probable temperature screening tents have been set up before reaching bag check and some fencing has also been added to direct guests towards the tents.

At Epcot, a tent has been placed on the bus drop off side of the entrance as well as the parking side before bag check.

Tents have been installed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom right before the new bag check area.

We’ll be reporting LIVE all week long from grand reopening of Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so stay tuned for more details!

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

Many Annual Passholders who were already upset over not being able to book a reservation for the AP Preview this is just icing on the cake for them… I am glad Disney is working on the issue and is attempting to make it right!

Were you charged with multiple months’ payments today?
