There's a new nighttime experience coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Lion King.

Called 'Harambe Nights,' the first-ever ticketed special event at the park includes includes a Welcome Reception, a performance of 'The Lion King Concert in the Wild' with celebrity narrators, and the Harambe Nights Street Party.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Hollywood Studios! Opened as Disney-MGM Studios on May 1, 1989, Hollywood Studios was the fifth theme park to be built by Disney Imagineers and the third to be constructed at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Let's explore briefly the origin, purpose, and identity of this park.

Disney's Polynesian was one of the two original Walt Disney World Hotels and it continues to be a perennial fan favorite. Though refurbs and make-overs there are some things the "Poly" has always done better than anywhere else. I thank the Aloha Spirit that permeates the atmosphere and greats every guest to this tropical paradise. The resort is currently undergoing a multi-year re-imagining - the largest transformation since it's 1985 additions.

As construction continues on Disney Springs, there are more restaurant names being added to the mix that already includes a new dining location from the Patina Restaurant Group.

One of the restaurants said to be a good possibility is Morimoto, the Japanese and sushi restaurant owned by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and the Starr restaurant group. The restaurant currently has locations in New York City and Philadelphia.

Traci shared with us yesterday that the official opening date for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in New Fantasyland has been announced!

Guests at the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks now have the ability to add additional FastPass+ entitlements once they have used their first three.

Park hopping with the FastPass+ system is also available.

These changes were made in response to guest suggestions made during the test phase of the FastPass+ system.

The "original" FastPass+ system allowed guests to have just three FastPass+ entitlements per day, and only at one park.

Only a couple of weeks away from the beginning of Star Wars Weekends, Disney has released the list of all your favorite actors and actresses and the dates that they will be participating in this years event. Before we look at the list, the two hosts this year are celebrities in their own right and deserve special consideration.

After hibernating for the last few months, the 'Festival of the Lion King' is set to return to Disney's Animal Kingdom this summer.

The show went on hiatus in January of this year as construction for the park's Avatar-inspired land started.

The 'Festival of the Lion King' is scheduled to return to Disney's Animal Kingdom in June, but no official date has been announced.

The live show features songs from the hit movie in addition to dancers, acrobats, floats, and a fire twirler.

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has an official opening date at the Magic Kingdom.

The final piece of the New Fantasyland expansion will open to guests on May 28.

The date was announced at a media event that featured a preview and official dedication of the new coaster.

Just in time for the summer vacation season, Walt Disney World has announced a new ticket offer for parties of six or more.

With the new ticket offer, parties of six or more who purchase a minimum four-day Magic Your Way ticket by June 14 will receive an additional day for free for every member of their party.
