A Fresh Coat of Paint On Cinderella’s Castle Won’t Bring Back the River “Cinderella Castle will return to its original colors.” This weekend, Disney announced that Walt Disney World’s Cinderella’s Castle will be repainted to restore its original color scheme. Gone will be the polarizing pinkish hues and shimmering gold accents applied for the resort’s…
Carousel of Progress to Finally Get Shown Some Love By Disney “There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day.” This weekend, Disney announced long-awaited updates to the Carousel of Progress, including a new Walt Audio-Animatronic in the intro scene and refreshed details throughout the show.

“They’re not building castles anymore.” — Walt Disney Imagineering veteran And now, they’re not keeping rivers, either. The Rivers Run Dry For decades, the Rivers of America served as the beating heart of Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland and Liberty Square. Its gentle loop tied the land together with water, motion, and history. The Liberty Belle…
“It’s a glorious three-hour finale!” — Sam Eagle Except this time, Disney seems to have missed the punchline. The Curtain Falls on MuppetVision 3D With the permanent closure of MuppetVision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, an era ended.

Epcot, when it was founded, was ostensibly educational, or at the least, edutainment…the idea of entertainment that educates at the same time. Over the years, there has been a gradual move away from that as Disney adds its intellectual property to everything once original. When Epcot opened Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, it was…
During recent park expansion announcements, several new lands were announced for the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. This included a Villains Land and a Cars Land(oddly enough connected to Frontierland).
