I received a text this week from a friend that simply said: \u201cDisney is buuuussssy\u201d.<\/p>\n
It was an entirely accurate statement.<\/p>\n
Hey, In the Loop subscribers \u2014 Haley here.<\/p>\n
The same week I got a sneak peek at a major wave of new Walt Disney World attractions and experiences<\/a>, I also got a rundown firsthand from Disney on what\u2019s coming to one of the most beloved classics \u2014 Walt Disney\u2019s Carousel of Progress.<\/p>\n This one hits different for a lot of fans. After more than 30 years without a significant update, the timing feels right. Generations these days weren\u2019t around for the turn of the century. <\/p>\n A lingering question I had about the attraction was voice casting. Disney is staying quiet for now, which feels intentional and exciting. <\/p>\n Click here<\/a> for a run-through of what is in progress. <\/p>\n Animated summer \u270d\ufe0f<\/p>\n Entrance of The Magic of Disney Animation (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.))<\/p>\n Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios is getting a major dose of magic with the arrival of The Magic of Disney Animation.<\/p>\n This week, Disney unveiled the layout of experiences<\/a> under the enchanted roof.<\/p>\n The attraction opens later this summer; until then, if you have plans to visit Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios in the near future, it\u2019s well worth spending some time in the newly opened Animation Courtyard. <\/p>\n Fore Grumpy \u26f3<\/p>\n A Grump statue for “Grumpy’s Gauntlet”.
