Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Refurbishment Extended Into April

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

The refurbishment of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom has been extended once again, now through April 3rd, 2021.

The PeopleMover first closed in early March 2020, unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic closure. We have witnessed extensive testing of the attraction in the past few months, but the refurbishment has been extended multiple times.

The full nature of the refurbishment is unknown, but at this point, the PeopleMover will have been closed for almost a full year. 

“Harmonious” Nighttime Show at EPCOT Will Debut By Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary

Posted on by Mathew Corn Epcot

Though an opening date for Harmonious—EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular—has not been announced, it seems that Disney is planning for it to be open in time for the 2021 Taste of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Disney is now selling corporate packages that include a private reception and viewing of Harmonious in October 2021.

The Harmonious show barges have been coming out one-by-one to World Showplace Lagoon over the last two months. The centerpiece barge still sits backstage and has had four arms added to its structure recently. Testing of the barges has been taking place and last night, fireworks were tested. With construction and testing coming along, an opening even earlier than October seems possible.

Disney and Universal Want Law Change to Allow Beer Ads & Promotions in Theme Parks

Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort are pushing again for a state law change that would give beer companies more exposure and the parks potentially more revenue during the coronavirus pandemic recovery.

According to Gabrielle Russon of the Orlando Sentinel, Universal and Disney are both lobbying for HB 73, which carves out an exemption to a Prohibition-era rule that would let theme parks make advertising and naming rights deals with beer manufacturers. The theme parks are jumping into a fight with craft brewers and smaller distributors who fear an uneven playing field if Anheuser-Busch Inbev or another large company get multimillion-dollar deals with the corporate-owned theme parks.

A theme park couldn’t give preferential treatment to the advertiser and could still sell beer from another company though, according to the bill.
