Two new games Sponsored by Ziploc have been added to the
Play Disney Parks app, bringing game play to Splash Mountain and Epcot's Kidcot
locations.
Launched in summer 2018 to turn wait time into
play time, the app debuted with interactive experiences and activities created
for select attraction queues, including: “Playset Party” at Toy Story Mania! in
Disney California Adventure park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, “Off to
Neverland” at Peter Pan’s Flight at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, “Rocket
Race” at Space Mountain at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, and “Andy’s
Boardgame Blast!” at Slinky Dog Dash coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Since then it has expanded to include Pandora - The World of
Avatar, and later this year - Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
Here are the details on the two new games:
The Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Day: Guests will find their laughing
place as they play together through a series of Splash Mountain-themed
mini-games featuring some woodland pals from the attraction. After completing
these whimsical challenges, guests are rewarded with special photo frames to
help them capture their memories. This experience is a great way to turn wait
time into play time while waiting in line for the attraction, and it can also
be played anywhere at Walt Disney World Resort!
Disney Kidcot Puzzle Hunt: Guests will embark on an
interactive world tour to find physical jigsaw puzzle pieces throughout the
Kidcot Fun Stops in all 11 World Showcase pavilions. After completing a
pavilion’s puzzle hunt through the app, guests are rewarded with digital jigsaw
puzzles and special photo frames themed to each pavilion to commemorate their
journey around the world. It’s a perfect companion to the existing Kidcot Fun
Stop activities the park offers.

The new signature restaurant being built at the Japan
pavilion in Epcot will be named Takumi-Tei, which means house of the artisan.
Operated by Mitsukoshi USA, which also operates the
merchandise and restaurants in the Japan pavilion, Disney describes the food as
inspired by the wonderful collaboration between nature and takumi, the artisan.
Wagyu beef will be on offer, along with a multi-course
tasting menu with traditional tea service. Drinks will include signature
cocktails, premium sake and a wine and craft beer menu.
The opening of Takumi-Tei is set for summer 2019.
