This week’s Disney news 🐭
Walt Disney World News 🏰:
🌴 DVC Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Points Bookings Open This November - WDWNT.com
🥪 Woody’s Lunch Box Seating Area Demolished - BlogMickey.com
Honestly, the seating here has always been terrible; I’m glad they are going to make improvements.🎄 Reservations Now Open for Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby During Disney Jollywood Nights 2024 - WDWMagic
If you attend one of this year’s Jollywood Night parties, I recommend making this reservation ASAP!🛠️ D23 Update: State of Florida Asking for Permit Revisions for Transformation of Tom Sawyer Island & Rivers of America at Magic Kingdom - WDWNT
The state has asked Disney to make 20 adjustments to its permit application, but this does not mean the project is doomed. Disney must comply with environmental regulations set by the state. The returned permit is just part of the process for larger developments, and construction on the yet-unnamed “Cars” land is expected to begin in early 2025.🎸 Miguel from ‘Coco’ Joins Mariachi Cobre at EPCOT During Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month - BlogMickey

Disneyland News:
💳 Disney Visa Cardmember-Exclusive Super Hero Photo Experience Swings Into California Adventure - WDWNT.com
Disney Entertainment News 🍿:
📺 The Walt Disney Company Wins Record-Breaking 60 Emmy Awards - WDWNT
This seems like good movie. Jennifer Lee should focus on the sequels to Frozen. They had lots of issues coming up with the story for Frozen 2. You can watch a great behind-the-scenes documentary on Disney+ called Into the Unknown about the issues. And after some lackluster animated movies it’s good to get a new person in the CCO seat.

Universal Rumors?
🦸🏽 RUMOR: Universal Actively Developing Replacement for Marvel Super Hero Island - WDWNT.com
This is strictly rumors right now, but it would have a huge impact on the Florida parks. Right now, Universal has exclusive theme park rights to many Marvel characters and the Marvel branding “east of the Mississippi,” and it lasts “in perpetuity” as long as Universal utilizes the property. If they remove Marvel from Super Hero Island, Disney is free to add Spider-man, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-men, and more to Walt Disney World.
Disney Discussions Recap:

WDW Fun Fact:
Did you know that the Beatles officially broke up on Walt Disney World Property in 1974? It’s true.
McCartney filed a lawsuit on December 31, 1970, to dissolve The Beatles' partnership. This led to a four-year battle involving various management teams and companies. The legal disputes continued after their breakup, and the dissolution was not formalized until December 29, 1974, when John Lennon signed the paperwork at the Polynesian resort on Walt Disney World property.
Magic Shot of the Week:
This picture says “Welcome Home!” doesn’t it?
We all have those photos we take on a Disney vacation that we love. Every week, I’ll share one. They will be my photos, but I’d love for you to share yours so I can include them. Email me your Disney photo to photos@disneydiscussions.com, and it’ll go in a future weekly recap.
Disney Tip of the week:
You can still stack Lightning Lane Multipass reservations!
Allears.net points out in this article. Even though the MDE app shows that Lightning Lanes expire after an hour, you actually have 3 HOURS to redeem your Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection! BUT you can still book an additional one to “replace it” after an hour — so stacking Lightning Lanes IS possible! But be careful, Disney can fix this loophole at anytime.
Shout out of the week:
Each week, I’ll shout out a Disney creator, whether through a Podcast, website, social media, or other means.
This week, I’m highlighting the Youtube channel In the Parks with Aaron. Not only is Aaron a fantastic Disney author, but he has some great Walt Disney World video to put on in the background of your day to make you feel like you are in the parks.
