Sometime in the past few years I noticed something called the Renaissance Food Festival on a map of EPCOT Center from my first visit in March, 1983. Thanks to #RetroMagic and @ProgressCityUSA I now know what it looks like and that it was meant to have a gold colored tent

Saw your name tag at #RetroMagic50 and based on your username alone it seems like I ought to follow you here!

Sorry to see the end of #retromagic50 , but another great event from the @lbv_history / @retrowdw folks and I'll have plenty more to share in the days to come @ Disney's Contemporary Resort https://t.co/adkMZtScsl

I'll be calling in to talk with Tim ED just after 3pm today. He broadcasts his show through his Facebook page, so take a look if you'd like to take a break from the #DestinationD23 stream and hear some other Disney talk this afternoon - https://t.co/y15ZJONRtE

A little news from Tom Vazzana, announcing Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular returns in December #DestinationD23

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

No #DestinationD23 big news about Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind coming to Epcot in the summer, other than a short video clip of Glen Close, but they did recently share some new concept art (presumable from the queue or preshow)

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

Usually at #DestinationD23 there are announcements about big future projects, but instead today the focus was on things cancelled at the start of the pandemic that are coming back

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

Disney did announce Festival of Fantasy is coming back to the Magic Kingdom at #DestinationD23

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

Since there's no significant new news about Disney World, #DestinationD23 is now celebrating things coming back

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

Disney demonstrated Project EXO at #DestinationD23 , which will allow performers to work as larger than life characters, though it was hard to follow what that'll mean without any hints who those characters might be (though, it's tough to not picture a walkaround Hulk)

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

Disney's website announced MagicBand+ coming to Disneyland before Josh D'Amaro did at #DestinationD23

[PracticalWDW @PracticalWDW]

Disney shared a look inside the new Connections Cafe and Eatery coming to Epcot #DestinationD23
