Did you know you can have more than one MagicBand connected to your account? This allows you to have multiple bands with out any hassle. A new open edition MagicBand is now available featuring our favorite island heroine.
The light aqua band is perfect for any wayfinder. You’ll see some tropical designs in dark aqua colors across the band.
On one side of the band, you’ll find Hei-Hei.
This is a really nice band. The colors are perfect as it looks like the ocean water. As we stated, this is an open edition band, easily found throughout property compared to “limited edition”, which is a limited number of bands available or sold for a limited time.
The Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party may have ended its limited-time run, but Timon and Rafiki are still keeping the party going at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. No longer occupied with dance moves, they’ve moved on over to Discovery Island’s Character Landing, where they are meeting and greeting guests for a special photo op.
Once there, you can find Rafiki and Timon monkeying around. A special Lion King backdrop featuring Simba and some hanging gourds, framed by bamboo and rock is available for photos.
Always check the park times guide to know when Timon and Rafiki will be meeting guests. Despite the many Entertainment cuts taking place across Walt Disney World and even close by at Donald’s Dino-Bash in Dinoland, we’re glad character meets are still alive and well.

Olaf may be finding himself in some warmer temperatures now, good thing Elsa is there to keep him cool! We spotted this new bus wrap featuring characters from Frozen around Walt Disney World Resort property and I don’t think we’re going to let this one go. This wrap is the latest in a series of new character ones, including “Moana” and Pandora – The World of Avatar.
The third-quarter injury report for Walt Disney World has been released thanks to the MOU Exempt Facilities Report. Typically, amusement parks and fairs are subject to inspection from the State of Florida. However, “Permanent facilities that employ at least 1,000 full-time employees and that maintain full-time, in-house safety inspectors” are exempt from state inspection.
To remain exempt, the operators must report serious injuries to Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services every quarter for the MOU Exempt Facilities Report. Let’s take a look at the report for the third quarter of 2019.
