As Walt Disney World gears up for the 50th Anniversary Celebration beginning October 1, 2021, doses of new experiences and details are being released! One of the latest pieces of news is that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is lighting up the iconic Chinese Theatre in a new way. Check out the details as shared by Disney Imagineer, Zach Riddley.

As shared via Zach Riddley’s Instagram: “Check out this first look at the new lighting design our Disney Imagineers will be bringing to the iconic Chinese Theatre at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The new nighttime appearance features bright gold accents, all-new energy-efficient LED lighting. But the part I am really excited about is the triumphant return of spotlights searching the sky as the theatre welcomes guests to the premiere of the latest Mickey Mouse short at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. This is a culmination of years of work by our teams to bring “premiere night, every night” energy to this iconic golden age of Hollywood architecture. I love when our teams are able use their unique skills to enhance the stories within our parks and this definitely showcases what our Imagineers ingenuity.”

What do you think about the new bright gold accents? We’ll be sure to keep you posted as Disney releases more information on the lighting enhancements for Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Walt Disney World at Capacity March 13 – 19

Posted on March 11, 2021March 11, 2021 by Mathew Corn Animal Kingdom, Disney Parks, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom

If you have plans to visit Walt Disney World next week, we sure do hope you have Park Pass Reservations! If not, you likely won’t be able to enter any of the four Walt Disney World parks, unless Disney decides to open up more Park Pass availability.

Currently, the Park Pass calendar is showing no parks available March 13 – March 19 for all three tiers of ticket holders including Theme Park Ticket Guests, Resort Guests, and Annual Passholders. First up, Theme Park Ticket Guests has noted “no parks available” for March 13 – 19 as shown in the screen shot below:

Next, you’ll see Disney Resort Guests also has “no parks available” for March 13 – 19:

Last but not least, Annual Passholders have “no parks available” March 13 – 19, but the capacity for Annual Passholders also carries through to March 20:

Hopefully you have your Park Pass Reservations already secured! As previously shared, the Disney CEO has confirmed park capacity will remain at 35% with rise depending on COVID-19 vaccination rate. That said, FastPasses have yet to return which means you can plan for lengthy waits despite the 35% capacity. The lines do keep moving however, just be sure to tackle your must-do attractions first!
