A Blog About Disney Stuff

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?

Just in time for the holiday weekend, Sprinkles cupcakes at Disney Springs has two special-edition cupcakes that capture that summer vibe.

First up is the 4th of July Red Velvet, topped with a mound of cream cheese frosting and covered with an explosion of red, white, blue, and gold sprinkles.

How much you like this cupcake will depend on whether or not you like red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. The cake is just dense enough to old up to the robust frosting. And while I know that Sprinkles is famous for… well, Sprinkles, they’re pretty to look at but not really necessary here.

The other summer option we sampled was the S’more Cupcake.

It may not be as flashy as the other one, but this cupcake makes up for it in flavor. From the graham cracker “crust” and the dark chocolate cake to the toasted marshmallow frosting, this is as close as you can get to a s’mores flavor without the campfire. Miss the “gooey” part of s’mores making? There’s also a bittersweet chocolate ganache to make it extra messy. Be warned, it’s rich–you may want to split this one!

Each cupcake is $5.99 at the Disney Springs location.

Which of these sweets is your sound of summer?

In the past week, Disney cast members began returning to work for training. Walt Disney World cast members are preparing for a reopening with a focus on health and safety. Today, we are seeing the Epcot cast members working towards completing their training for accommodating guests when they return to Disney!

The Epcot team of cast members are excited to reopen the park and make the experience magical for those who visit the theme park. It’s been months since we’ve last seen World Showcase in person or rode attractions such as Test Track. Due to the recent pandemic, the Disney company is putting new safety protocols into effect to help ensure the health and safety for guests visiting Disney World. We thank the cast members for their hard work and for helping with the new health protocols.

The reopening of the Disney Parks is just a few days away. Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom reopen on July 11, 2020. Then Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopen on July 15, 2020. We are excited to soon return to the Disney theme parks and seeing our favorite attractions! Let us know in the comments if any of our fans will be visiting Disney World later this summer.

D23 has been celebrating the Year of the Mouse (technically, rat!) with monthly collectible Mickey Mouse plush! Every month, D23 members get early access to these cuties. July’s mouse is set to bring us some summer tiki fun!

Last month, the Rainbow Mickey plush flew off the Amazon “shelves.” Now, we’re anticipating the arrival of a new friend that will make the birds sing words and the flowers croon!

The newest addition to the Mickey Mouse collection is inspired by places like Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and Disney’s Polynesian Resort. It will be available for D23 members Monday, July 6th, at 9 AM PST on the D23 website.

To represent some Hawaiian flair, Mickey is covered with exotic plants, tiki gods, and ukuleles! He’s made of twill and corduroy with embroidered buttons and eyes. On the bottom of his foot, you’ll see a gold and satin commemorative patch.

All Mickey’s come with a window box featuring special Year of the Mouse packaging and a Certificate of Authenticity. You have to be quick to order because they sell out really fast! 

You can find ALL of this year’s themed sets on Disney’s Amazon webpage.

Want to see some of the previous monthly Mickey Mouse Plush? Head here to see all some past cuties like the Movie Star Mickey Mouse!

Will you be logged on to snag the Tiki Mickey on July 6th? Let us know if you’ll be grabbing yours!
