News! Disney World is Notifying Guests of Their Canceled Dining Reservations

Last week, Disney World’s official reopening date was announced, but with this big news came much confusion.

Breakfast a la Art Entrees

Since Disney World would have to operate with a limited capacity upon reopening, we were told a brand new reservation system would be implemented.

This meant temporarily suspending ticket sales and hotel reservations as well as canceling every existing FastPass, and every dining reservation Disney World had on its books. All Disney Dining Plans have also been canceled at this time.

All of this news was a lot to take in. In fact, it was so unbelievable, a lot of folks quickly went into their MyDisneyExpeience apps to see if in fact their reservations had been canceled, but they were even more confused when they saw all of their plans were still there!

Topolino’s Terrace

Keep in mind — Disney World has thousands upon thousands of guest reservations to work through and it’s going to take some time to cancel them all. Just today, one of our team members received an email notifying her one of her dining reservations had been canceled.

The email states, “As a result of limited capacity, we have made the difficult decision to cancel existing dining reservations.” and that some dining and other experience bookings may be suspended up Disney World’s reopening such as character meals.

Character dining is not expected to resume when the parks reopen. Learn more here!

Guests will not be charged any cancelation fees and that all pay-in-advance experiences will be credited back within seven days of the reservation date.

DIY It’s A Small World Flower Pot Stakes!

Its a small world

Add a touch of magic to your garden with this “It’s a Small World” inspired DIY!

Did you know that “It’s a Small World” opened on May 28th, 1966 at Disneyland Park? That’s why in honor of it’s anniversary, Disney shared a very cute and colorful DIY! It will make you feel as if you were on the happiest cruise that ever sailed!

Plus is super easy! Here’s the list of the things you need and a few simple steps you need to follow to create them. Take a look:

Supplies:

  • 4-5 inch wooden cutouts in circles or hearts
  • 12 inch wooden dowels for the flower stems
  • Basswood sheets, thin enough to be cut with scissors
  • Acrylic paint in solid and/or glitter colors
  • Paintbrushes
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch
  • Letter stickers or paint markers
  • Hot glue

Step 1: First we will start painting the cutout circles and hearts as well as the wooden dowels with a base coat of acrylic paint. You can paint them in colors that match the signs from “It’s a Small World” or get creative and improvise!

Step 2: Draw shapes like petals, leaves or small dots on the basswood sheets and cut with scissors. To make it easier, you can cut the small circles with the hole punch.

Step 3: Paint the basswood cutouts with a base coat of acrylic paint. If you need to add more details to them, you can use a fine-tipped paintbrush to make it easier and more precise.

Step 4: If you are using letter stickers, you can paint them with acrylic paint to match the signs from “It’s a Small World” or use markers and write directly on the cutouts.

Step 5: Now it’s time to glue everything together to create mini versions of the iconic flower, heart or leaf signs!

Filming for the ‘Avatar’ Sequels has Resumed in New Zealand

Filming for the ‘Avatar’ Sequels has Resumed in New Zealand. Recently, New Zealand approved the resumption of filming for various film studios including the studio housing the filming for the Avatar sequels which are being filmed simultaneously.

The news comes from Producer, Jon Landau, who shared a photo of himself and director James Cameron on the tarmac at Wellington International Airport in New Zealand.

As we previously shared, the Avatar sequels are being film simultaneously in an unprecedented manor that is rather un heard of in the film industry. Director James Cameron has confirmed they have finished filming for Avatar 2 and are currently working on filming for Avatar 3-5. Despite production on set being shut down, many VFX artists were still hard at work on the films, so there is little chance of a delay in the films release in December 2021.

We are very excited to see filming resume on the Avatar sequels and can’t wait for more photos and insight into the filmmaking process. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for updates and all things Disney!

Super Nintendo World in Universal Japan is Nearly Complete

Super Nintendo World in Universal Japan is Nearly Complete. Nintendo fans are gearing up for the opening of the first Super Nintendo World! An immersive experience that will bring guests into the world of Nintendo games.

Super Nintendo World will be an expansive, highly themed and immersive land featuring Nintendo’s legendary worlds, characters and adventures. Guests will feel as if they are playing inside their favorite Nintendo video games – in real life. It will be filled with incredibly fun rides, shops, a restaurant and interactive gameplay throughout the land. And there will be something for everyone, regardless of age or gaming experience.

Universal Studios Japan will be the first Universal theme park to feature Super Nintendo World, followed by Universal theme parks in Hollywood, Orlando and Singapore. Super Nintendo World will feature a new level of theme park guest experience that blends the physical world with the world of the video game – bringing the world of Nintendo to life in a whole new way for guests.

Guests can use a combination of state-of-the-art technology – a wearable wrist band called a Power Up Band – and a specially designed app. This will allow them to have interactive experiences, making use of their arms, hands and entire bodies as they explore the new area – making them feel like they are truly part of the video game world. Guests can download the Universal Studios Japan app on their smartphones and link it to a Power Up Band that can be purchased in Super Nintendo World to enhance their experience.

While wearing the band, guests can collect digital coins just like Mario does in the games. They can even compete with other guests to see who collected the most coins, among other fun and friendly competitions. State-of-the-art technology is being used in the Super Nintendo World area to bring all of these interactive activities to life.

You can check out the promotional video for the new land in the video below:

Super Nintendo World will feature many interactive features that will be familiar to anyone that knows Mario’s world. This includes Question Blocks that will appear around the area. While wearing a Power Up Band, guests can hit a real-life Question Block and collect coins, just like in the video game. Guests can also obtain collectible items, such as character stamps, by achieving various goals. Coins are allocated for each stamp, with the total number of coins earned by each guest ranked with all other guests in the park, making the entire experience feel like competing for a high score in a video game. There are all kinds of ways to earn coins throughout the entire land, and guests can keep score, compete against each other and celebrate together when they win.

We can’t wait to see the first Super Nintendo World open soon, but we really can’t wait to see the new land to appear in Universal Orlando Resort in the coming years. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Universal!
