As you can see, the foodie adventures on land and sea are endless with Disney and we’re so happy to share them with you.

Parents’ Horrendous Display at Disney

The dreams of several children came crashing down due to the lack of obedience by their parents in Disney World.

In the last few months, it seems that good Guest behavior at the Disney Parks and Resorts has been in somewhat of a decline. From Guests flashing their bare chests on Disney’s Skyliner to hopping out of ride vehicles, Guests have taken quite a few rules and turned them into mere suggestions.

Inside the Magic recently reported on a shocking incident that took place Friday evening, with multiple adult Disney World Guests lounging in a fountain. A video was taken of the incident, which took place in the World Showcase section of EPCOT at Walt Disney World. The group shown in the video has now been identified as a cheer team.

According to other outlets, the adults were parents of cheerleaders who were visiting from Canada. The group was there to participate in Cheerleading Worlds 2023. It’s extremely common to see cheer groups at Walt Disney World, especially in the warmer months.

Unfortunately, the group was disqualified from the competition due to the behavior exhibited by the parents. The video went viral on TikTok and now has over one million views:

Perfect Storm Athletics stated that they are disappointed in what they saw as a company and issued the following statement:

We are aware of this situation and have spoken to the individuals involved. We absolutely do not condone this behavior and are very disappointed. We will be addressing our code of conduct forms these parents signed about behaviour involving anything Perfect Storm Athletics is a part of. 

t’s critical that Guests follow the rules laid out by Disney, not only to ensure their own safety but the safety of other guests and Cast Members as well.

Disney Attraction Destroyed, Canceled Indefinitely

Via InsideTheMagic.net

An entire section of Disneyland has been destroyed following a devastating accident.

As we’re sure you’re already aware, a massive fire broke out during Saturday night’s performance of Fantasmic at the Disneyland Resort. Hundreds of videos and photos spread online of the incident giving us multiple views and angles of the devastating accident. Flames quickly overtook the Melafeicent dragon during the show, leaving Guests stunned.

The direct cause of the fire is still under investigation. This was by far one of the worst accidents we’ve seen take place at Disney, with video footage of the fire leaving us speechless. Guests could see the flames and smoke from around the entire Park, with some catching glimpses of it as they barreled down the drop on Splash Mountain.

The fire was devastating and essentially left the dragon animatronic destroyed. New photos show the totality of damage on “Murphy,” the dragon:

Murphy is almost completely gone. #Disneyland Fire still on site. No damage to the rest of the area from our view

As you can see below, what’s left of the figure has been covered with tarps:

Work has already started fixing the #fantasmic stage at #Disneyland #disneylandfire

In some of the Guest footage, you can see fluid leaking out of the dragon well before he caught on fire. It’s believed that this is what caused the fire to take place.

It’s important to note also that Tom Sawyer Island has been closed as a result of this fire. Fantasmic! takes place at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. At the time of publishing this article, all performances of Fantasmic! have been canceled.

We aren’t sure how long Fantasmic! will be down for, but it’s safe to assume we won’t be seeing the dragon anytime soon. This accident also prompted Disney to halt all use of pyrotechnics throughout its Parks and Resorts, though this was later changed to only affect very little.

Disney Reseller Caught Redhanded

Disney popcorn buckets are a new trend with Guests, and resellers have taken notice. Recently, however, one reseller was caught red-handed with the newest popcorn bucket.

Disney World is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Being the most magical place on earth, Guests tend to think they deserve greatness such as short waits, no errors, and speedy service. Disney World is home to four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Each Disney Park includes something for all Guests.

Disney World has just finished celebrating 50 years and, now, the company is moving forward with celebrating 100 years. Guests have spotted new merchandise and signs about the 100-year celebration, which will be held at EPCOT.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Park Entrance

Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there is also a major celebration going on as the theme park is celebrating 25 years. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to a massive amount of different animals and thrilling attractions. Guests can get up close and personal with many animals, thanks to the Kilimanjaro Safaris. Disney World Guests looking for a minute to relax can enjoy shows such as Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!, or Festival of the Lion King. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Guests can also explore Pandora, which is based on the Avatar franchise.

simba popcorn buckets

Guests have started to go crazy over Disney World popcorn buckets. In recent years, the Figment Popcorn Bucket absolutely broke the internet when Guests waited in line more than eight hours for the chance to get their hands on the adorable dragon at EPCOT. Since that point, there have been a few other popcorn buckets and sippers that have been popular among Disney Park fans, but they have yet to reach the popularity of that Figment bucket.

That has yet to stop many resellers from trying their best to get their hands on quite a few popcorn buckets, including the newest one, modeled after Pumbaa from The Lion King.

This new Pumbaa bucket just was released on April 22, 2023, and Guests have already shown a craze for it.  In a social media post, Guests caught a popcorn bucket reseller red-handed with a handful of Pumbaa popcorn buckets.

How many more trips is he going to make to the parking lot

This Guest may not be a reseller, but normally, when someone buy several popcorn buckets at a time, you see them available for sell on third-party sites pretty soon thereafter.
