The Magic Kingdom's Liberty Tree Tavern restaurant will be
closing for an extended period in the latter half of 2015. The closure begins
on July 6 and runs through to November 20 2015.
The Walt Disney World Resort Monorail System will be
operating revised routes on both the Resort and Express beams over the next few
months.
The following changes will be in operation February 3 - 5,
February 9 - 12, February 23 - 26, March 2 - 5 2015, between the hours of 11:00
AM and 7:00 PM.
Monorails on the Resort beam will stop at Magic Kingdom,
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort only.
Monorails on the Express beam will stop at the Magic
Kingdom, Transportation and Ticket Center and Disney's Contemporary Resort.
The above changes mean that resort beam guests who wish to
get to Epcot will have to first get to the TTC by using the Express beam, and
then change to the Epcot beam. Alternatively, direct buses will serve the
resorts for travel to Epcot.
Breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe will be relocated to
Artist Point next week as work takes place on the Wilderness Lodge Lobby.
The move will affect breakfast only on February 5 and

continue to be served in Whispering
Canyon as normal.
The usual server provided fun and games will be on hand, and
the full menu and will be available in Artist Point, with the exception of
pancakes, which apparently need kitchen equipment not available at Artist
Point.

The brand new interactive queue at Peter Pan’s Flight has
debuted in the Magic Kingdom, giving
guests waiting in the standby line a
greatly improved experience.
Peter Pan’s Flight is well known for its long wait times,
and now Disney Imagineers have made some huge upgrades to the queue to help
make those waits more entertaining. Not only is much of the queue now in fully
enclosed indoor space, it also features a walk-through of the Darling
children’s home and into their nursery. Tinker Bell and Peter pay a visit, and
guests even get a sprinkling of pixie dust before leaving the new queue to
board the ride.
Some of the effects are achieved through projection mapping,
giving Tink the ability to fly through the nursery, and even interacting with
and moving physical objects.
An interactive section of the queue gives guests a chance to
play with virtual objects with their own shadow.
A few of the outdoor areas of the queue remain, both before
the new indoor queue, and after. On most days, that outdoor queue space won’t
be in use, but on busy days, expect to still hit the outside switchbacks. The
newly expanded indoor queue space comes from the area gained by closing the
restrooms near Pan, which were relocated to the new Tangled area a few years
ago.

On the west coast, preparations are being made to celebrate Disneyland’s
60th, or “Diamond” anniversary.
As part of the celebration, the iconic Sleeping Beauty
Castle in Disneyland park and Carthay Circle Theatre in Disney California
Adventure park will glisten and gleam, each with its own diamond medallion
featuring the letter “D.” The entire resort will sparkle with Disneyland Resort
Diamond Celebration décor and festive banners in shades of Disneyland blue.
Disneyland’s parades and nighttime entertainment will also
be getting polished up for the celebration.
“World of Color – Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt
Disney” illuminates the night in a contemporary and moving celebration of Walt
and his dream of Disneyland, showing that anything is possible if we never give
up on our dreams.
Mickey Mouse will take guests on a fun-filled and
inspirational journey through the unparalleled imagination of Walt Disney,
exploring his decades-long legacy of memorable animated moments and the dream
of Disneyland park.
Both epic and intimate in scope, “World of Color –
Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney” brings to life the remarkable
story of Walt and the Happiest Place on Earth in a first-of-its-kind
spectacular, presented on the magic canvas of “World of Color” with compelling
animated imagery, live-action footage, fountains, lasers, special effects and a
stirring musical score.

Mickey Mouse uses his vivid imagination to harness the power
of Tinker Bell’s pixie dust and “Paint the Night” in Disney dreams, bringing to
light beloved characters and stories from “Monsters, Inc.,” “Cars,” “The Little
Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Toy Story,” “Frozen” and more.
And finally, Disneyland’ fireworks will be getting a refresh
called “Disneyland Forever”.
“Disneyland Forever”
shows just how magical the Magic Kingdom can be, in a sky-high celebration
featuring sparkling pyrotechnics, immersive projections, and other effects that
transform Disneyland park right before your eyes!
“Disneyland Forever”
envelops you in an enthralling, breathtaking journey like never before,
leveraging the largest installation of projection mapping technology in a
Disney park and surprising special effects. Main Street, U.S.A., and several
other Disneyland park locations become a magical canvas taking us into a world
of dreams, from flying above the London skyline from “Peter Pan” to a dance
with King Louie in “The Jungle Book.”
“Disneyland Forever”
also features two original songs, the theme “Live the Magic” and the inspiring
closing song “Kiss Goodnight,” written by Disney Legend Richard Sherman.
Walt Disney once said,
“Disneyland will never be completed, as long as there is imagination left in
the world.” As “Disneyland Forever” caps off each evening of this
once-in-a-lifetime celebration, we discover Walt’s inspiring words still hold
true today. Disneyland will continue to be home to all our dreams and
adventures … forever!
