Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Uncategorized

If your kid is a fan of the Descendants movies as my 10 year old daughter is, then they won’t want to miss this opportunity at Disney Springs.

You’re invited to celebrate this summer’s release of “Descendants 3” at the Disney DescenDANCE Party, rocking the Marketplace Stage at Disney Springs for a limited time July 26 – August 11, 2019. At the Disney DescenDANCE Party, you can hit the dance floor to some wickedly good beats, snap and share great pics at a pair of cool photo ops, and catch on-screen shout-outs from some of the stars of the movie.

And if you can’t make it to Disney Springs for this limited run, fear not! The DescenDANCE Party fun will carry on, taking over the stage at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café as an added feature during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, offered select nights at Magic Kingdom Park starting August 16.

Don’t forget to watch “Descendants 3” on August 2 at 8 p.m. on Disney Channel!

The official opening of the new NBA Experience is set for August 12th, 2019.  In advance of the opening, the merchandise store for the location is already open and ready for guests.  Guests will find a variety of great items at the store like clothing, matted basketball photography, special Loungefly backpacks, collectibles, hats and other great items that basketball fans will love.  There is also a special station where guests can personalize Magic Bands, water bottles, phones, etc. for purchase.

Here are some of the previously announced details for NBA Experience from Disney Parks Blog:

  • When you enter NBA Experience, you’ll feel like you’re walking through the players’ tunnel out onto the court at an NBA or WNBA arena.
  • A ticket to NBA Experience grants you access to every activity in any order you choose, and you can return to stations multiple times to try and improve your performance or learn more about the game, the players and the teams you love.
  • In an activity that tests shooting skills, spots will light up on the court as you move from one location to another attempting to sink as many shots as possible in 15 seconds.
  • In a slam dunk challenge, you can change the height of a standard 10-foot-tall rim to as low as seven feet so you can perform your own superstar moves – captured by burst photography.
  • See how you stack up to some of the world’s best basketball players by measuring your vertical leap, wingspan, and shooting and dribbling skills.
  • Various activities can be personalized with your name and associated with your favorite NBA or WNBA teams, and your stats will be tracked just like a real pro game.
  • Real-time technology will aggregate stats of NBA and WNBA games and players for continuous updates, while leaderboards will show top NBA Experience performers throughout the day – will your name be at the top?

Posted on by Mathew Corn Animal Kingdom, Disney Dining, Disney Parks, Disney Resorts, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom

Disney launched the Mobile Order service within My Disney Experience for multiple quick service dining locations throughout the theme parks and Disney Springs over a year ago.  The service allows guests to order and pay for their food from the app and then pick it up from the pickup window when it is ready. 

It saves time waiting in line to order food so that the experience is more convenient for guests and their time in the parks.

Disney Parks Blog confirmed that the service will now be expanded to more restaurants at select Disney Resort hotels.  The first restaurant additions include Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Contempo Café at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

BOOK YOUR VACATION NOW!!!

Guests are also able to use their Disney Dining Plan entitlements within the service, so it works great for guests one of the dining plans to easily order their meal.

Remember that you don’t need to be staying at a Disney Resort hotel in order to eat there, and the same goes for Mobile Order as well. 

From Disney Parks Blog, “The mobile order service is yet another way we are improving the vacation experience for guests through the My Disney Experience app, especially at Disney Resort hotels, where select guests can streamline check in to start their vacation even faster, use their mobile device as a digital key, view bus times and much more.”
