Now it's time to say goodbye to.... Soarin' Over California. The revamp of Soarin' Over California, entitled Soarin' Around the World, makes its debut at the grand opening of Shanghai Disneyland on June 16, 2016. The very next day, it will debut at both Disney California Adventure® Park and Epcot®. FastPass+ reservations are available now for the Epcot version. This is going to be a big change-- while I'm certainly going to miss soaring over Yosemite, the Pacific Coast, and the Golden Gate Bridge, the new experience promises to be an excellent replacement. While Disney is holding some of its cards close to the vest until the debut, they've promised we'll soon fly over the Sydney Opera House, the Great Wall of China, and the (real) Matterhorn. When brainstorming which world locations the new version might include, I've got to confess that last one never entered my mind, but it makes perfect sense! Now, not only can we ride Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland® Park, but we can also hop over to Disney California Adventure Park and soar over the real thing! While I'm sad that I may not get to experience Soarin' Over California again, I certainly had a nice send-off for my last ride: my daughter and I rode it as part of our California Story guided tour at Disney California Adventure Park. Not only did we get to skip the line, but we also got a ton of interesting trivia from our tour guide as we waited to board our top row center seats. For instance, did you know that several components of Soarin' Over California are CGI? I had no idea! What world landmarks are you hoping to fly over when Soarin' Around the World makes its American debut on June 17?

Yet another delay for Rivers of Light nighttime spectacular at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park4/7/2016 By David Platt, your Mouse Master specialist
Rivers of Light, the new nighttime spectacular at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, was set to debut on April 22. Disney Parks Blog recently announced, though, that the debut will be delayed, with no further announcements regarding a revised debut date until mid- to late May. The delay is disappointing for sure, particularly for guests who've already booked trips based on the previously-announced debut date. But I'm certain it will be worth the wait and the frustration-- Disney seems to have spared no expense in their efforts to turn Disney's Animal Kingdom into a full-day park (finally!). Gone will be the days of the park closing at 6:00, leaving guests scrambling to hop to another park to get their nighttime entertainment fix. Once Rivers of Light debuts, guests will be able to choose from nighttime offerings at all four Walt Disney World® Resort parks, which could alleviate nighttime crowding resort-wide. For more information on the delay, please visit Disney Parks Blog. |
