October 5, 2020
Mickey Mouse and his best pals are returning to breakfast at Chef Mickey’s restaurant in Disney’s Contemporary Resort on December 16, bringing some new items to the menu inspired by their favorite dishes. 
Along with traditional breakfast favorites, your Clients will be able to try the new Mickey’s “Celebration” Pancake, featuring whipped cream, celebration sprinkles, shimmering pixie dust and more. 
For something a bit more savory, we’re adding a new “Loaded” Potato-Cheese Casserole topped with smoked bacon crumbles and chives.
Last but not least, Goofy’s Banana Bread French Toast will combine unique flavors of banana bread baked in zesty orange-scented French toast batter, topped with Espresso-mascarpone cream, toasted bananas and chocolate crumbles.
Can’t decide on which new item to try? Taste all three as part of an all-you-care-to-eat family style feast with other traditional breakfast favorites.
When Mickey and friends return, the experience may look a little different than the last time your Clients visited, but they can still expect to smile, wave and make unforgettable memories with some of their favorite characters as they parade through the restaurant in their chef’s best.
Reservations for Chef Mickey’s character breakfast will open on October 17, based on availability. In addition, Disney Resort hotel Guests can make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of their stay (up to 10 days).

New and Returning Entertainment Experiences Abound at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
September 28, 2020
Disney is pleased to be able to reintroduce a number of guest favorites to the Walt Disney World theme
parks in recent weeks, along with some fun, seasonal surprises. Today, Disney is thrilled to tell you that another popular entertainment
experience, “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along
Celebration,” is returning to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Beginning
Monday, October 5, guests can once again join Erik and Aria, the Royal
Historians of Arendelle, for their comedic retelling of the unique story
of their kingdom, filled with delightful, sing-along moments from
Disney’s “Frozen” and special appearances by Anna, Elsa and Kristoff.
“For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” will be
the same incredible show guests have loved for the past six years, with
some adjustments to staging and audience seating to allow for
appropriate physical distancing. 
During a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests will also want to be on the lookout for some of the biggest Disney and Pixar stars, as they make their way up Hollywood Boulevard and across the park in special, pop-up motorcades. Rolling intermittently throughout the day, each celebrity motorcade features stars on the street and others – like Mickey Mouse, Edna Mode or Doc McStuffins – riding in colorful custom convertibles powered by Chevrolet.
Mickey and Friends Motorcade highlights Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse,
Pluto and their friends Chip ‘n’ Dale, accompanied by a bouncy musical
score inspired by Disney cartoon shorts. The Pixar Pals Motorcade takes
the Incredibles, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and others down the avenue,
waving to their fans to the beat of the Green Army Drum Corps. And the
Disney Junior Stars Motorcade brings favorite TV friends Fancy Nancy,
Doc McStuffins and Vampirina to Hollywood Boulevard. 
Disney
Junior fans are also invited to join the fun at “Disney Junior Play
& Dance!” in the Animation Courtyard. Each party performance
throughout the day features a dynamic DJ spinning favorite songs from
Disney Junior TV shows, plus special onstage appearances by Disney
Junior stars such as Mickey Mouse, Vampirina and more.

Returning this fall at Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios
September 2, 2020
As part of Disney's phased approach to reopening, they are adding more Guest-favorite dining choices this fall at Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s some Halloween fun in store at Hollywood & Vine where Minnie’s Seasonal Dining is set to return Sept. 25.
While it may look a little different than the last time you visited,
you can get in the spooky spirit during Minnie’s Halloween Dine with a
monster feast served to your table where you will be able to wave and
snap photos of your favorite characters such as Minnie Mouse, Mickey
Mouse and their friends. It’s a boo-tastic time filled with Halloween
décor and music, scary good food, and more!
Beginning Sept. 24, Guests can enjoy dining in the enchanted, fairytale setting of Cinderella’s Royal Table at
Magic Kingdom Park. Enjoy a delicious regal banquet with unforgettable
main courses ranging from roasted chicken breast and tenderloin of beef
to chef’s fish of the day. The princesses will be taking a break from
their royal duties greeting Guests, but there will be plenty of
delicious fare and fun to be enjoyed in this beautiful, one-of-a-kind
restaurant.
Both of these immersive dining experiences will be available for reservations beginning Sept. 11.
Additionally, some more snack and quick-service options are reopening soon. Gaston’s Tavern at Magic Kingdom Park will return Sept. 4 and the ABC Commissary at Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens for walk-in quick service for lunch beginning Oct. 8.

Walt Disney World Attractions and Entertainment Update
Attractions and Entertainment Details for Phased Reopening of Walt Disney World Theme Parks
June 20, 2020
As Disney looks forward to the reopening
of Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in July, Disney is excited to share a
few details about the attractions and entertainment you will be able
to experience when you return. Though these may look a little
different than in the past, there will be plenty of magic for everyone
to enjoy when Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
open on July 11, and EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios open on July
15.
Most attractions will be available at each park – for example, live your adventure at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with attractions like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. At Magic Kingdom Park, classics such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean are waiting to welcome guests with thrilling adventures for the whole family. Time travelers, take note that the iconic Spaceship Earth attraction at EPCOT will also continue to be available in its current state while we pause on its planned refurbishment, along with other favorite attractions like Soarin’ Around the World, Frozen Ever After and Test Track presented by Chevrolet. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, the magic of nature awaits with Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain and Avatar Flight of Passage.
If you are hoping to see some familiar friends or take in the tunes of treasured performers, you're in luck! Disney characters will appear in new and different ways that bring a smile to your face while also being mindful of physical distancing. From special cavalcades down the Magic Kingdom Park parade route and friends sailing the waterways of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, to processions along the World Showcase promenade at EPCOT and motorcades on Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Hollywood Boulevard, each area will come to life throughout the day. You never know when a party of your pals may come by, so be prepared for plenty of surprises!
For example, after rocketing through space in Tomorrowland you might see that famous Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear; or discover a captive Captain Jack Sparrow as they traverse the Castillo del Morro on their way to Pirates of the Caribbean. You could cross paths with Queen Anna and Elsa as they venture “into the unknown” on a journey around World Showcase at EPCOT or spy members of the Resistance hiding out from the First Order throughout Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu.
Looking beyond Disney's beloved characters, several musical groups will also return. You can look forward to seeing Main Street Philharmonic at Magic Kingdom Park, plus the Mariachi Cobre and everyone’s favorite funky drumming crew the JAMMitors at EPCOT, just to name a few.
If you have any questions, please email me at barbara@destinationstoparadise.com.
