You can have it playing  in the background on your tv or spend hours watching the soothing video. It’s up you! Either way it would be as if you were back at Andy’s backyard.

Downtown Disney, the outdoor shopping center at the Disneyland Resort, is still scheduled to reopen next week despite increasing COVID-19 cases. The state of California also recently renewed some restrictions on restaurants and other businesses.

Disney announced its reopening plans for the Disneyland Resort last month. The Downtown Disney District is scheduled to reopen July 9. The theme parks were supposed to reopen July 17, with two of the resort hotels opening later in July. The theme park and hotel reopenings have been delayed due to the state not approving reopening measures until after July 4.

Downtown Disney will still be able to open and operate since a number of the restaurants have outdoor seating or patios. Masks and temperature checks will still be required as well as social distancing measures, which Disney previously laid out.

The most recent restrictions from the state government include the closing of bars. Ballast Point, a brewery located in Downtown Disney, will not be opening when the shopping district reopens next week.

We will continue to update with news about the reopening of the Disneyland Resort as we receive more information.

We gotta hand it to Disney’s villains — they make being bad look so GOOD!

Ever since we spotted this color-changing Poison Apple Mug inspired by the Evil Queen, we’ve shoved all our other coffee cups off to the side! Heroes are great and all, but if you prefer Disney’s darker and more devious side, you’ve gotta see the new board game we just spotted at World of Disney featuring some of our favorite baddies!

Clue: The Classic Mystery Game is a whodunit detective story that normally takes place in a mansion, but with this new Disney version, you’ll be entering the Villains Lairs!

Mayhem is afoot now that a spell has been cast and the portals to each Disney Villains’ realm have been opened! Can you find out which villain is responsible for causing the big commotion?

This game looks like it will be hours of diabolical enjoyment and we can’t wait to see what you guys think of it! We spotted the new Disney Villains Clue at World of Disney in Disney Springs today for $44.99, but we wouldn’t wait to pick it up since these types of items have been flying off the shelves fast! Earlier today, we saw some Haunted Mansion Puzzles, but when we blinked they were gone!

Have you been playing lots of board games lately? Tell us which ones are your favorite to play in the comments below!

We couldn’t wait to put our pedal to the metal ever since Disney World announced Test Track would be one of the rides guests could enjoy when Epcot reopens.

And it looks like we’re not the only ones who are looking forward to Test Track’s SIM cars zooming by!

This adorable pic of Test Track’s Cast Members was posted on Walt Disney World Cast & Community’s Facebook page and shows that the Test Track crew is back!

If you’ve got a need for speed, we think you’ll get a thrill out of Test Track’s 65 miles-per-hour experience. And if you’d like some advice on how to design a really fast concept car, make sure you click here!

Of course, we’re equally excited to ride Spaceship Earth now that its refurbishment has been postponed. We’ll probably be walking back and forth in Future World A LOT to enjoy both of these iconic Epcot attractions.

Click here to read our ULTIMATE GUIDE to everything that’s reopening at Disney World!

Which iconic Epcot attraction will be you riding first? Let us know in the comments below!
