Disney parks are always expanding to enhance the magic for families of all sizes. Well, they are at it again! Here are some of the exciting updates to come in the near future:
A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Disney Imagineers dreamed about bringing Star Wars to the parks. This is now becoming a reality. Star Wars, Galaxy’s Edge, will be opening in Disneyland and Walt Disney World in 2019. The lands are set in a remote trading port on the edge of wild space. You’ll find yourself in the middle of the action either piloting the Millennium Falcon or riding aboard the Star Destroyer. And what would Star Wars be without a local cantina? Here they’ll be serving up unique drink concoctions including blue milk! Continue reading New and Exciting Disney Updates!
Friday, February 23rd will kick off the festivities with the Princess 5K run through the Future World and World Showcase. Princesses ages 5 and older and their families can take part in this fun race . The race ends with a memory-making storybook finish perfect for a princess and her royal court in the family reunion character party.
On Sunday, February 25th, The Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon will celebrate 10 years! The 13.1 miles is filled with fun, memory making moments. The run winds through the most magical place on Earth, including the
anniversary celebration of this amazing 19.3 miles and immediately become my hero!
In my last blog, I told you about some exciting things that you could do after dark in the parks. Today, I want to share some activities that you can enjoy outside of the Walt Disney World theme parks.
On May 25th the geography of Universal Orlando will change. Along with 2 theme parks, there will be the new water park, Volcano Bay. The philosophy celebrated at this new water park is “Water is
Life. Life is Joy”. It’s the carefree attitude that the fabled Waturi islanders have embraced on their Pacific isle for centuries. Now you can live the Waturi way at this all-new park where thrills and relaxation flow in perfect harmony. 
When they named Universal’s Islands of Adventure, they weren’t kidding! This park is full of fun and great attractions! Our Orlando vacation was spent in both Universal Orlando’s parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, but Islands of Adventure was our favorite! 
This past October, my family took a trip to Orlando. The past 40-something trips we hop on the Magical Express and went to 
and even years in advance. Believe it or not, the itinerary for early 2018 have already been released! So, start planning your 
coming year, and family vacation opportunities expand! Gone are the days that you wonder from pavilion to pavilion watching the lovable sea creatures. Now you can hop on exciting and thrilling rides that will turn your insides out! This will be the largest new attraction year in the company’s more than 50 year history.
