Disney Puts New Rules Into Place

March 28, 2019March 28, 2019 WDW Dreams Into MemoriesLeave a comment

With all of the big changes coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland over the next few years, Disney felt the need to restrict a few things. These changes are for the safety and concern of their guests. These new policies & changes will go into effect May 1st.

Strollers

They are restricting the size of stroller permitted into the parks. If you are traveling with a stroller, the new maximum dimensions are 31″ (79cm) wide and 52″ (132cm) long or smaller. This is a GOOD thing. The smaller stroller you have, the easier it is for you to navigate through crowds. If everyone complies, foot traffic will move much smoother.

Wagons

Disney will no longer permit wagons. The wagon style strollers such as the ones made by “Keenz” will not be permitted either, even though you can “push” them like a stroller.

Smoking

Every time I read that, I hear it in Mrs. Doubtfire’s voice. No? Just me? Ok, anyway, there will no longer be smoking sections inside Disney Parks. There will be a designated smoking area outside of the parks near the entrance instead. This will be in effect for all of Walt Disney World, Disney Water parks, Disney Springs, ESPN, Disneyland and Downtown Disney. For guests that are staying in a Resort Hotel or may venture to one for dining/entertainment, they will also each have a designated smoking area. This does include vaping as well.

Loose/Dry Ice

Disney happily let’s us all bring in coolers with our own drinks and food. What they will no longer allow are coolers full of “loose ice” or dry ice. They encourage the use of ice packs and if you require loose ice for any reason, it is available at no charge at their quick service restaurants.

Let me know if you would like clarification on any of these or if you have any questions!

Tron: Currently Being Uploaded to the Magic Kingdom

March 15, 2019March 15, 2019 WDW Dreams Into Memories

The Tron attraction being built at The Magic Kingdom is making progress and recently, it hit a big milestone in the eyes of the Project Teams. One of the first steel support beams for the ride was unveiled and Cast Members were invited to sign.

The Tron attraction is currently being built behind Tomorrowland Speedway and Space Mountain. The ride will be based on the lightcycle from some of the Tron movies; a personal transport system that resembles a motorcycle and runs on liquid energy. The cycles will be two across and it will be a coaster-style attraction. Once aboard, “players” will be able to race, swerve, and turn through the “grid”.

Fairy Godmother Creates More Room for Extra Magic!

February 26, 2019 WDW Dreams Into Memories

Little girls everywhere are going to be super excited when they hear about the magic going on over at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella Castle. They are adding more chairs and fairy godmothers so that they can help more little girls live out their princess dreams. Along with expanding the castle, they are adding a very special magical mirror!

In addition, a brand new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be opening up at Disney’s Grand Floridian! Starting this summer, guests will be able to visit the Boutique and receive the full princess experience. It will be as easy as hopping on a monorail to get to the boutique and then you can head right back to the Magic Kingdom to continue the day dressed as a Disney Princess. I like to make dinner reservations at Cinderella’s Royal Table, Be Our Guest, or 1900 Park Fare the same day we do Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique so we can get pictures with the princesses. What a wonderful addition this will be! Stay tuned for opening details.

Join in the Magic

There is something special about walking up Main Street USA. Whether it’s the first time ever or the first time of your 100th trip. I still get tingles after walking through the tunnels under the train station. There is magic around every corner and the adventure begins.

I cannot say enough about what Disney has done for my life and my relationships. Growing up with Disney in my life has left an everlasting impression of magic & happiness on my heart. I am hoping to do that with my children and with each child I am lucky enough to plan a trip for going forward.

Regardless of what is going on in our lives when we leave for a Disney trip, the only thing that matters when we cross through those gates is the love we have for each other and the memories we are about to make We always grow as a family when we are on vacation but the closeness we feel when we leave from a Disney vacation is different. It’s laughing at Goofy, it’s holding hands in the crowd, it’s cuddling during fireworks, it’s sharing a Mickey Head Ice Cream, it’s posing with Belle, it’s squeezing a little tighter on The Haunted Mansion. It’s It’s the Magic of Disney.
