One of the biggest changes involves a surefire revenue stream for the Disney parks: food and drink. Now, don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not going away. But you might have already thought of a specific problem: to eat and drink, you can\u2019t have a mask on your mouth and nose. And when you\u2019re at Disney World, you\u2019re likely on the go as you eat. Well, not anymore: Disney is now enacting a policy that states you have to be stationary while eating and drinking. As it goes with the entirety of working at a theme park now, I sympathize with the Cast Members who have to enforce this very strange but reasonable policy.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re at Walt Disney World, and you fall into one of two categories, you may find that it pays a bit more to be in the Happiest Place on Earth. Cast Members may be blocked out of attending the parks at the moment, but through the end of July, they can get a 50 percent discount on almost all merchandise. (That Disney-made face masks are one of the items that this discount is <i>not<\/i> good for is\u2026uh\u2026a Choice.) If you\u2019re an Annual Passholder, the discount isn\u2019t quite so steep, at just 30 percent, but it\u2019s good through August 14.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"300\"  src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/Spaceship-Earth-Disney-Image-700x300.jpg\"  width=\"700\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Over at Epcot, construction may be afoot, but in less of a capacity than was originally planned. Last August, Disney unveiled very extensive plans for a full-on renovation of the second Disney World theme park, but the pandemic has scuttled some of those plans. Specifically, the large-scale update of Spaceship Earth as well as a Mary Poppins-themed attraction have been postponed. A good chunk of the Epcot updates are still moving forward, some because they were so far into production that it\u2019s too late to back out. But these kinds of updates mean that it\u2019ll be a longer time before Spaceship Earth goes under the knife. (Honestly? I\u2019m fine with that. The current ride is a bit kitschy, but charming.)<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a brief break from Disney theme-park <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, and shift to another theme park chain: Legoland. Until recently, you might have been surprised to learn that over at Legoland Florida, pesky things like \u201ca global pandemic\u201d weren\u2019t stopping the fun! That\u2019s because, until just last week, face masks weren\u2019t required on attractions or in indoor locations. Now, masks are a must, because the city of Winter Haven, where Legoland Florida is located, is requiring them. (Real profile in courage there, Legoland Florida.) It\u2019s better late than never, perhaps, but what a very low bar to clear.<\/p>\n<p>Heading back to Disney, and specifically to Anaheim, while Disneyland isn\u2019t open yet, that doesn\u2019t mean that all of the construction projects in the resort have halted. A very big one is the expansion of the Disneyland Hotel to include a Disney Vacation Club tower, a plan that\u2019s gotten much closer to fruition. Now that the City of Anaheim\u2019s planning and building department has recommended the tower be approved, it\u2019s much more likely that this hotel update will happen. Considering how fractious the situation got when Disney tried to build an entirely new hotel in Downtown Disney, this is good news for them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo of Believe! Sea of Dreams\" height=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themeparkinsider.com\/photos\/images\/tdsshow.jpg\" width=\"640\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Not all Disney theme parks are closed, of course. (Well, most of them are open.) And over at Tokyo Disney, it\u2019s not just open but they\u2019re already planning new arrivals. Starting \u2013 hopefully \u2013 in April of 2021, Tokyo DisneySea will have a new nighttime spectacular, Believe! Sea of Dreams. With the start date arriving in just over eight months, there\u2019s not much new information available aside from the name and key art, but the very fact that Tokyo DisneySea is moving to replace Fantasmic! implies that they\u2019re more comfortable with being open for business.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/theme-park-bits-epcot-plans-changed-no-moving-while-eating-at-disney-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Theme Park Bits: Epcot Plans Changed, No Moving While Eating at Disney, and More&#8221; In this edition of Theme Park Bits: Prepare to stand still while eating at Walt Disney World.
