🚨 UPDATE: The Single Rider line at Test Track in EPCOT is closed today.

According to a Cast Member, the line will remain closed for the entire day as Disney tests a new operating procedure.

No word yet on whether this will lead to any permanent changes.

🏗️ Tropical Americas continues to rise at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. During my visit, more steel was visible across Pueblo Esperanza, while construction also continues on the new entrance archway. The shape of the area is becoming much easier to see!

🌿 A closer look at Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I stopped by September 24, and the rockwork around Pueblo Esperanza already shows an impressive amount of fine detail, with layered textures and carved elements beginning to bring the area to life!

⚡️ Big work is underway at one of Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ most iconic landmarks.

Guests visiting Sunset Boulevard may notice extensive scaffolding now surrounding The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror as exterior refurbishment work continues across the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

Crews are working throughout the attraction’s façade, refreshing painted surfaces and preserving the architectural details that have defined this legendary skyline for decades. As the project moves forward, sections of the refreshed exterior will gradually be revealed.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror remains open during the refurbishment, continuing to welcome guests for a stay unlike any other. 🏨👻

Today, we remember Dolly Parton and the remarkable legacy she leaves behind. ❤️

Fresh from the Walt Disney World vault, here’s a look back at Dolly during the resort’s 15th Anniversary Celebration in 1986, alongside Mickey Mouse.

A special piece of Disney history featuring a true entertainment icon. 🕊️

They're photogrammetry targets. On physical models, markers like these can be added so Imagineers can photograph or digitally scan the model and accurately track its geometry in 3D. Photogrammetry software uses high-contrast circular targets as precise reference points, especially on irregular surfaces✨

🐉 An invitation awaits in Villains Land…

Here’s an early look at the model for the new Maleficent roller coaster coming to Magic Kingdom, offering a glimpse at the twisted landscape and enchanted briars that will surround this all-new adventure. 🎢💚

The story begins with an invitation from Maleficent herself to enter her fortress. Those daring enough to accept will be presented with a challenge: navigate through the enchanted briars surrounding her domain.

This early model offers just a first glimpse at how the attraction could bring that story to life, weaving riders through a dramatic and foreboding landscape on a journey deeper into Maleficent’s realm.

Would you dare accept her invitation? 😈

On this day in 2022, the iconic Tower of Terror billboard was demolished overnight at Walt Disney World.

Picture, if you will… a familiar landmark along World Drive, standing one moment… and gone the next. 🌀⚡

Four years have passed already… although in The Twilight Zone, time has a rather strange way of getting away from you. ⏳

One minute it was there. The next… nothing but a memory.

As conversations continue about what the future may hold for Space Mountain, I'm taking a moment to appreciate a familiar part of the attraction that has welcomed guests for generations.

Long before the countdown to launch, this classic queue video helped set the stage

Sometimes it's the little things that make an attraction feel timeless. 🚀✨

@AliciaStella For me it's the transitions, they did great with the rocket launch transition. But after that it's like meh, same 2 second cross fade for all! Just laziness unfortunately

[DisneyWorldTom @DisneyWorldTom]

@ScottGustin They sold me, it was brilliant! And they were able to turn it over at a great pace🤘🏻✨

Unions representing employees at Spirit Airlines have now been notified of the airline’s reported shutdown at 3am ET Saturday.

This marks more than just an operational end, it’s truly the end of an era for ultra low cost travel in the U.S.

Love them or not, their impact on keeping fares competitive won’t be forgotten.
