New Additions Coming to Disney’s Jungle Cruise

Posted on March 21, 2021March 21, 2021 by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

As previously shared, Disney is building on the original story of the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom Park. Now Disney is revealing details about more humor, wildlife and skipper heart coming to the classic attraction. As part of a much larger effort, this updated experience will welcome new characters from around the world. Check out the details as shared below by DisneyParksBlog.

Jungle Cruise fans might be familiar with her name; however, wouldn’t you know it, we recently uncovered a copy of an interview with Alberta Falls that was featured in a 1938 issue of The Daily Gnus about her and the World-Famous Jungle Cruise. We hope you’ll enjoy getting to know her!

The enhancements include several new scenes guests will experience along the river, all interconnected. Our world-famous skippers will continue to share the unique adventure and interactions guests expect on the Jungle Cruise.

The new scenes will heighten our skippers’ legendary comedic tone, beginning with a trapped safari party that finds itself up a tree after their journey goes awry. Unexpected scenarios along the way will give the jungle and animals the last laugh!

For those looking to dive deeper, we’re also expanding the attraction’s backstory, centered around Alberta Falls, granddaughter of world-renowned Dr. Albert Falls, as the proprietor of the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd.

The Chapeau Closes March 27 For Refurbishment at Magic Kingdom

Posted on March 18, 2021March 18, 2021 by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

The Chapeau will be closing at the Magic Kingdom on March 27 for an extended refurbishment through sometime this summer. This refurbishment happens alongside the Main Street Confectionery which closes on March 29 for nearly two months. The Main Street Cinema will be the temporary home to pre-packaged confectionery sweets during this construction period, while the fine art offerings of the Main Street Cinema will temporarily be available at Bonjour! Village Gifts. We don’t yet know the extent of the refurbishment of The Chapeau.

The Chapeau can be found to the right of Town Square when entering Main Street U.S.A. The shop is known for hosting a large assortment of hats, as well as providing iconic embroidery on the back of Mickey Mouse ears. While The Chapeau is not operating, embroidery will still be available at the Magic Kingdom at Fantasy Fare in Fantasyland.

April 2021 Walt Disney World Refurbishments

Posted on March 17, 2021March 17, 2021 by Mathew Corn Animal Kingdom, Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Are you planning your most magical trip yet to Walt Disney World this April? Whether you’re coming for Spring Break, Easter, or simply to spend a little time surround by Pixie Dust, Disney is ready to invite you home. There are however a few refurbishments you’ll want to take note of as you prepare your days in the parks.

There are currently five closures listed beginning April 1, 2021 on the Walt Disney World refurbishment calendar.

1. Walt Disney World Railroad (Magic Kingdom):

Sorry Disney fans, this one has been closed for a LONG time now, and we are missing it dearly. The railroad closed temporarily way back on December 3, 2018 and has remained closed since. The extended closure is due to the construction of the new attraction, Tron Lightcycle Run. Our best guess is that we won’t have a chance to take a ride on the railroad until Tron opens… which has yet to be announced.

2. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover (Magic Kingdom):

PeopleMover is listed on the refurbishment calendar through April 3, and then removed from the list beginning April 4. Unfortunately, we would say that while we hope it reopens on April 4, Disney has pushed this closure back time and time again as they continue to work on an unconfirmed maintenance issue.

3. The Hall of Presidents (Magic Kingdom):

No surprise here as Disney is hard at work preparing Hall of Presidents for the 46th President, Joe Biden. For Trump’s Presidency, the attraction closed in January 2017 for refurbishment and reopened in December 2017. If history repeats itself, we are hoping to see Hall of Presidents reopen in December 2021.

4. Main Street Confectionery (Magic Kingdom):

Yes, this tasty shop filled with delightful treats is scheduled to close on March 29, 2021 for a lengthy refurbishment. Currently, the refurbishment calendar has the Confectionery listed as under refurbishment through May 22, 2021.

5. Kali River Rapids (Disney’s Animal Kingdom):

Kali River Rapids closed on January 3 and has remained closed for refurbishment since. We are excited however as while Kali is removed from the closure list on April 2! Fingers crossed the refurbishment doesn’t get pushed back so we can once again enjoy a ride on the rapids.

Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are currently listed as being free from refurbishment closures. Keep in mind, refurbishments are listed to help us plan but it is not set in stone. Disney has been known to extend refurbishments, shorten them, and even close attractions and/or shops suddenly for refurb.
