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.

As Walt Disney World continues to move ahead with its phased reopening, we’ve been keeping our eye on how construction is progressing around the resort. 

Although some construction projects have recently been paused, we’re excited to see that there are quite a few that are forging ahead, like the expansion of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin with the construction of a brand new tower called The Cove. Let’s take a look.

Ground was broken on the 14-story tower in 2018 and was originally slated to be completed in 2021. There’s a chance this opening could be delayed due to the current health crisis and related closures, but from what we saw while we were checking out the newly reopened Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course, it sure looks like things are moving right along!

Construction has steadily progressed during Disney World’s unprecedented closure, and it looks like 12 of the 14 stories are well on their way.

The tower will have 349 guest rooms including 151 suites. It will also feature a nearly 17,000-square-foot elevated deck with a fire pit and pool and a 90-seat restaurant. Guests at The Cove will also benefit from the same perks of staying at an official Walt Disney World resort that guests of the Swan and Dolphin currently receive

Construction crews have even begun installing some of the windows which, based on the concept art, will go a long way toward giving the tower its stylized look. Here’s a look at the artist’s rendering of the finished hotel.

The Cove HAD to bring some signature style to complement its VERY DISTINCTIVE siblings, the Swan and Dolphin.

All eyes are on the Swan and Dolphin right now with the arrival of Major League Soccer players, who will be staying at the resort during the MLS Is Back Tournament. Guests who had been scheduled to stay at the resort from July 1st to July 29th are being relocated to the brand new JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa that just opened down the road in the nearby Bonnet Creek area.

See what Major League Soccer players are having for lunch in Disney World here!

We’ll be keeping a close eye on The Cove as construction progresses and will let you know when this STUNNING new tower has an opening date!

Yesterday, Governor Newsom announced that 19 California counties needed to close reclose restaurants and movie theaters. 

And while yesterday just the parking lots at beaches were expected to be closed in some parts of the state, we’ve just learned Orange County will be closing down many of its beaches entirely over the holiday weekend.

Changes keep rolling in regarding new closures. So far, Disneyland’s grand reopening has been delayed while Downtown Disney’s July 9th resumptive date seems to be moving along as scheduled — although restaurants might only be providing outdoor dining.

California Governor Newsom is allowing cities and counties to act on their own regarding whether or not they should close their public beaches. Today, several cities have decided to close their beaches. These include several popular Orange County beaches like Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach, Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach.

Some beaches haven’t announced if they’ll be closed or not, and for now, many of the beaches that will be closing have only stated they’ll be shutting down for the weekend. Of course, we’ll let you know if anything changes between now and July 5th!

Anaheim, California has mandated face masks must be worn in all public areas. Learn more details here.

What are your thoughts on California closing its beaches for the weekend? Let us know in the comments below.
