The updated store also uses digital projection in several themed areas. This World of Disney store is the largest Disney-themed merchandise store in the world.This news updates page 000 of View this news bulletin or the full list of book updates -->New Disney World Resort Announced Posted by: PassPorter News 11/01/2018Image of Bay Lake Tower - view over Bay Lake contributed by chezp from the PassPorter Photo ArchiveA new deluxe resort with a nature theme will be built between Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, on the shores of Bay Lake.

This is a sad turn of events, as the show has been around at Disneyland for 10 years and is very popular with families. The show at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World is NOT being cancelled.This news updates page 000 of View this news bulletin or the full list of book updates -->No New Hotel for Disneyland Posted by: PassPorter News 10/11/2018Image of Downtown Disney contributed by chezp from the PassPorter Photo ArchiveDespite closing down an entire section of Downtown Disney to build a new four-star hotel, the LA Times and Orange County Register are reporting that Disneyland is cancelling the construction of said hotel. This is unsurprising given that the new hotel would not qualify for the reduced tax rate in the City of Anaheim, which they believed they would when they first announced the new hotel. I'm not convinced this is the last we've heard of a new hotel at Disneyland, however. I think further developments are yet to come!This news updates page 000 of View this news bulletin or the full list of book updates -->Caribbean Beach Eateries Now Open! Posted by: PassPorter News 10/11/2018Image of Shutters at Caribbean Beach Resort contributed by Jennifer Marx from the PassPorter Photo ArchiveAfter an extensive renovation, the new and improved eateries over at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort are finally open! That includes the Centertown Market, a counter-service spot with indoor and outdoor seating; Sebastian's Bistro, a new table-service restaurant; and Banana Cabana, the updated poolside bar.

The price increases are at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. For example, regular-sized fountain beverages were $3.29 and are now $3.99 at Casey's Corner, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, and Columbia Harbour House (to name a few locations). Other items such as bottled water, slushies, popcorn, pretzels, and churros are seeing price increases as well.

Changes include faux wood floors, new white bedding (no more bed scarves), new wall paint, a larger TV now mounted on the wall, new upholstery, and a new large mirror in the bathroom. Also of significance is that the bathroom amenities (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash) are now in dispensers mounted on the shower wall. Thanks to AllEars.Net for news of this renovation!This news updates page 000 of View this news bulletin or the full list of book updates -->New Star Wars Ride Details Released Posted by: PassPorter News 10/04/2018Image of Star Wars Land Concept Art contributed by Belle* from the PassPorter Photo ArchiveThe new Star Wars Land (opening in both Walt Disney World and DIsneyland in 2019) will have a Millennium Falcon-themed ride. This we've known for some time. But details were lacking up to now. Now we know that guests will need to complete a mission and fight TIE fighters in the Millennium Falcon. To do this, we'll have access to more than 200 controls onboard the flight. And the mission will be scored in some way, with praise and warnings based on our performance! We even hear that the outcome of your ride could be tied into other attractions or experiences around the parks. How fun is that? You can learn more about the ride in the Target exclusive Blu-ray version of Solo: A Star Wars Story which has a special 13-minute long video called "The Millennnium Falcon: From Page to Park."This news updates page 000 of View this news bulletin or the full list of book updates -->Epcot Festival of the Arts Returning in 2019 Posted by: PassPorter News 09/27/2018Image of Spaceship Earth contributed by chezp from the PassPorter Photo ArchiveFor the third year, the Epcot International Festival of the Arts will return January 18 through February 28, 2019.
