Scott Gustin with Nexstar Media Group reported on Twitter that current and furloughed Cast Members at Walt Disney World in Florida will be receiving a complimentary one-night resort stay.
If you’re in the Walt Disney World area this Easter season, you’ll want to be sure to drop by Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. Both resorts currently have a special Easter Egg display featuring talented Cast Members’ work with chocolate!
As shared via Walt Disney World Cast and Community Facebook page: “In honor of the Easter holiday, Culinary Cast Members at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts flexed some major creativity by creating these Easter egg displays made from real chocolate. The talent and attention to detail these Cast Members have is blowing our minds. Just look at these creations!”

It’s been a while since we heard anything about Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge at Walt Disney World. There have been rumors since last year that construction on the resort was stalled or canceled. A new permit from Walt Disney Imagineering supports that rumor.
The permit is to “remove office trailers from property” at multiple addresses connected to construction. If construction offices are being removed, that is strong evidence for the resort project being delayed indefinitely or canceled entirely, since construction would be nowhere near completion.
Two permits were filed in the fall of 2020 that suggested construction may have resumed but there have been no announcements since then. Reflections was previously removed from the D23 Expo 2019 announcements page.
The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge—which reopened during the holidays and has remained open for breakfast only—will now be open for dinner.
The Mara is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge’s savanna-inspired quick-service restaurant. It will be open daily through the end of April from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM and then from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The dinner menu, which includes cheeseburgers, flatbreads, and sandwiches, is available to view on the Walt Disney World website.
After filing for a series of permits last month, Walt Disney Imagineering has filed three new permits for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the upcoming interactive hotel near Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The first permit in this series is for “low voltage installation and termination of system controls and antennas” to be completed by contractor Raleigh Enterprises, Inc., who was “heavily involved in the development and construction of Raleigh Studios Manhattan Beach by Roy E. Disney’s investment company, Shamrock Holdings.”
The second permit filed by Walt Disney Imagineering entails “show control” to be completed by Elite AV Systems.
The last permit of this trio is for “showset installation for Project H” by Dimensional Innovations, Inc. The company describes itself as “always leading with story and design” and has designed experiences for Disney previously, created corporate signage for AMC Theatres, and carried out a “sponsorship master plan that included a theming and graphic storytelling approach” for Orlando City Soccer Club.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will involve characters from Star Wars for its interactive scenes that connect to the storyline of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, promising to be exciting for guests of all ages.
