SeaWorld is celebrating Fourth of July weekend and you can catch “SeaWorld Light Up The Sky” on three different nights. This new physically distant fireworks spectacular will be included with park admission and will be held on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th for more chances to see it.

To promote social distancing SeaWorld has additional viewing locations throughout their theme park. There will be spaced seating, increased sanitation, additional park signage and additional staff on hand. There will also be additional exits set up for an easier and safer conclusion to the night.

“Guest safety is our foremost priority and to be able to maintain safe physical distancing while still providing amazing vantage points of the fireworks presentation, we have re-configured the annual fireworks display to be viewable from multiple locations,” said Park President Kyle Miller. “We are committed to creating a safe environment for our guests so they can spend a memorable, fun and enjoyable holiday weekend with us.”

The best way to experience events like SeaWorld’s Independence Day fireworks or their upcoming Craft Beer Festival is with an annual pass. Florida residents can become a pass member for as little as $11.50 per month. Visit SeaWorld.com for all the details.

Here’s some important info for guests with an upcoming reservation at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort!

Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom preparing to reopen on July 11th, followed by Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th. But even though the parks are getting ready to welcome back guests, the Swan and Dolphin Resort will remain closed, and will relocate guests with existing reservations!

One of the great benefits of staying at the Swan and Dolphin Resort is the close proximity to the Disney parks — especially Epcot and Hollywood Studios! But if you had plans to stay at this resort in the near future, you might be in for a shake-up.

Earlier this month, a member of our team received an email with information regarding the restrictions being implemented both in the Disney parks and the hotel. The email asked guests to call or email the hotel to confirm their reservation.

Email Asking Guests to Confirm their Upcoming Reservation

Today, we received another email stating that the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort will be closed to the general public until July 29th, 2020. 

Email from Swan and Dolphin Resort

As a substitute for the room at the Swan and Dolphin, we were offered reservations at the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort and Spa at the same rate, dates, and room type. We were asked to call to confirm the reservation at the new location.

The Swan and Dolphin Resort is currently accepting reservations for July 29th and beyond.

Reservation Information from the Swan and Dolphin Website

So, if you have an upcoming stay at the Swan and Dolphin resort, be sure to check your email regarding alternate arrangements!

Today, AMC Theatres announced how they’re  delaying the reopening of their movie theaters until July 30th, 2020. The new reopening date is to help the movie chain better align with the rescheduled blockbuster movie release dates arriving in August.

For instance, Disney’s live-action Mulan has a new release date of August 21, 2020. Other releases such as Tenet, Bill and Ted Face the Music, New Mutants, and others will be arriving in theaters later this summer. It’s been a long time since many movies goers went to see a film due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the new health and safety measures will help movie goers enjoy themselves once the movie chain does reopen.

Taking into account the newly scheduled release dates of @mulan and @tenetfilm, AMC will pushback two weeks and resume theatre operations beginning 7.30.20, in time for a theatrical slate commencing in August.

Also, AMC Theatres is implementing a mask policy for future customers. The company will require all employees and guests to wear masks when the movie theater chain reopens. It was formerly an option for guests to wear masks in theaters, but AMC reversed its decision to better ensure health and safety with a mandatory mask requirement.

The movie theater company has taken other measures to ensure health and safety protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, common areas will be routinely disinfected, and each theater auditorium will be reduced to 30% capacity or less to maintain social distancing.

Calling all tequila fans! Disney Springs’ Frontera Cocina Mexicana is celebrating it’s 4 year anniversary with a new special menu including a margarita that will surely add some sparkle to your summer evenings!

Frontera Cocina Mexicana

Life is the bubbles with the NEW Champagne Margarita made with Teremana Respado tequila, a hit of freshly squeezed lime, orange liqueur, and topped with a refreshing splash of champagne.

Rounding out at $12, the new drink doesn’t taste much different from a classic margarita. BUT, the light taste of lime and orange liqueur still hits the spot! It’s a great choice when Orlando hits 99 degrees in the dead of summer!

Champagne Margarita from Frontera (Look at that tasty salt rim!)

As for taste, the champagne and lime are very prominent. We were surprised by how much champagne we picked up! It was honestly quite refreshing!

Close-Up of the Champagne Marg

The Champagne Margarita is just one choice you can get for Frontera’s 4th Anniversary! We think this crisp marg will go nicely with a side of the Mango Guacamole & Chips. Is there anything better than guac, margaritas, and sunshine?

4th Anniversary Menu for Frontera Cocina

Oh, and we forgot the best part! Frontera has an Online Ordering! This means you can take some tacos home with you on your way out of Disney Springs!

Check out our latest review of reopened Frontera Cocina!
