It’s been another whirlwind day at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, filled with exciting updates, unexpected incidents, and delightful surprises.
Over in Magic Kingdom, the Liberty Square Riverboat, the majestic and iconic Liberty Belle, is set to close for a brief refurbishment. This towering paddle steamboat, which offers guests a serene cruise around Tom Sawyer Island, will take a short hiatus for a bit of TLC. Alongside the riverboat’s temporary farewell, there’s fantastic news from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The clocktower, Torre del Cielo, has completed its refurbishment, bringing a fresh look that adds a touch of enchantment to the beloved ride. Additionally, construction for the new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern continues to make steady progress.
In an unfortunate turn of events, a newly hired corrections officer was dismissed following an incident at Walt Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). He reportedly shoved a stroller with a baby towards his wife, prompting his dismissal and subsequent arrest. This story serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a family-friendly environment at all Disney parks.
Switching coasts to Disneyland Resort, visitors are buzzing with excitement as Goofy’s Kitchen, the whimsical character dining location, has increased its prices ahead of the Halloween season. This move is in preparation for the upcoming Halloween character dining experiences, which promise festive fun and spooky surprises. Guests can also spot Halloween decorations popping up throughout Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park, adding an extra layer of magic to their visits. For Disney’s elite Club 33 members, a new Haunted Mansion-inspired tightrope walker tiki mug has been released, sure to delight enthusiasts and collectors alike. Furthermore, Disneyland Park has unveiled a new Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree sign, adding to the park’s ever-evolving charm.
Lastly, Universal Studios fans have something to be thrilled about. Jimmy Fallon has announced “Jimmy Fallon’s Tonightmares,” a brand-new haunted maze experience premiering at Rockefeller Center. To top it off, Universal Orlando Resort is rewarding its Passholders with exclusive menu items during Passholder Appreciation Days, running until September 30, 2024.
