Walt Disney World Resort Update for July 20-26, 2021
Writer’s Note, News & Views (Combined)
On Thursday, the 129-day lengthy EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival bought underway. I’d like to think about this version of the Festival because the next-phase of final yr’s “Taste of” model of the Festival. Though the title has been restored to the total “Festival,” it’s a extra measured and evolving one than what people who visited in 2019 or earlier skilled. There are no less than 20 Global Marketplaces now open throughout park hours. (I say “no less than” as a result of it actually relies upon which kiosks you or Disney counts towards the Festival’s complete versus the same old park operations with some menu modifications.) Another 10 Global Marketplaces be part of the Festival on October 1; if you stroll across the park, you possibly can spot a lot of them. Disney Parks Blog’s Foodie Guide and the official TasteEPCOT.com can provide the full menu data this yr and, certainly, there’s a digital model of the Festival Passport within the My Disney Experience app as nicely.
So far, there are not any scheduled superstar chef or beverage specialist displays. There are not any scheduled up-charge tastings or events (like Party for the Senses). runDisney has scheduled the return of the Wine and Dine Marathon weekend in November and, maybe, as October 1 approaches, there will likely be extra items of the Festival returning.
In the meantime, just like the “Taste of” Festivals, there are daytime performances by Voices of Liberty and Mariachi Cobre on the America Gardens Theatre stage. This Festival brings again extra stay music within the type of “America Gardens Bandstand” displays on Friday nights by way of Monday nights that includes native Central Florida Bands enjoying pop songs of yesterday and right this moment. The “Jammin’ Chefs” once more carry out over on the Old Mill Stage at Canada pavilion, and there are different choices, just like the EPCOT Musician on the United Kingdom Gazebo (typically good friend of MousePlanet, long-time Disney Performer Carol Stein). The World Showplace Pavilion which has been a part of the entire “Taste of” Festivals is at present not open for the Food & Wine Festival.
As for the “Bandstand” performances, these are solely scheduled by way of September 30. With the fiftieth Anniversary celebration getting beneath means on October 1, we anticipate to listen to information of another new leisure providing beginning on that day, as the extra Global Marketplaces open, and, over at France pavilion, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the creperie addition are as a result of open as nicely. Stay tuned.

Speaking of Remy’s, I used to be invited to Media Day for the Food & Wine Festival on Friday morning and was invited simply past the development wall into the courtyard in entrance of the brand new attraction the place I used to be capable of see the outside of the brand new Paris as interpreted by Pixar and the imagineers to seem from Remy’s point-of-view addition to the pavilion. While pictures weren’t allowed, you’re in luck, as a result of Disney Parks Blog shared on Instagram nearly every thing I bought to see, together with Veronica from Walt Disney Imagineering.
In the “Views of EPCOT” under, I’ll share extra of the Festival – as I not solely attended the Media Day on Friday Morning, however I returned to EPCOT on Sunday afternoon and evening, and visited fairly a number of Marketplaces. I do must admit, the meals I sampled on the Media Day occasion and on the Marketplaces was all tasty and I’m trying ahead to making an attempt some extra meals and drinks over the following 120-some-odd days. Of course, as I notice often right now of yr, it’s the wet season right here within the neighborhood of Walt Disney World Resort. Fortunately, the Tropical Storm season has briefly gotten quiet; let’s hope it stays that means! On Sunday evening, thunderstorms seemingly surrounded EPCOT, however my associates and I by no means witnessed a drop fall. Of course, it was humid and bought extra so after sundown. Be ruled accordingly right here in Central Florida’s summer time!
Remember, as for the previous yr, Walt Disney World Resort continues to be in a “phased reopening.” While extra is open than was true a yr in the past, not every thing operates prefer it did earlier than the worldwide pandemic, and never every thing is open in any respect. Rules and insurance policies stay in flux, so make sure you verify this page of Walt Disney World for the most recent data you must know earlier than your go to. As I’ve famous earlier than: the State of Florida doesn’t allow companies to request proof of vaccination, and Disney honors that by stating: “While we don’t require proof of vaccination, we anticipate Guests who will not be absolutely vaccinated to proceed carrying face coverings in all indoor places and upon coming into and all through all sights and transportation.” As of publication, all friends are nonetheless required to put on face coverings on buses, monorails and on Disney Skyliner. If you haven’t been vaccinated and you’re eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, do your self and the remainder of us a favor: get vaccinated. This Delta variant is taking a excessive toll amongst the unvaccinated, and it might but mutate and threaten these of us which are vaccinated.

The Hall of Presidents Reopens in August
As has been the custom, round when the United States inaugurates a brand new President, it closes The Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom, an attraction that debuted with the park again in 1971. A revised present, together with an Audio-Animatronic determine of the brand new President then debuts someday after the Inauguration Day for every new President, and, for the reason that Inauguration of William Jefferson Clinton, the forty second President, every of the particular U.S. Presidents has recorded dialogue for their Audio Animatronic counterpart that has been a part of the present throughout their time period in workplace. With the set up of every new President, the animatronic determine of the predecessor takes a spot among the many different former Presidents on the stage for a roll name.
Yesterday, Disney Parks Blog introduced that the forty sixth President of the United States, Joe Biden, will debut to friends in a revised present debuting in August. President Biden, like his predecessor, President Trump, has recorded the presidential oath of workplace on the White House which will likely be spoken by his animatronic. On the desk subsequent to the newly put in animatronic, Imagineers have included peach blossoms to characterize his residence state of Delaware and a pair of aviators as a nod to his proclivity for the sun shades. The President Trump animatronic can have a spot on stage among the many remainder of the previous Presidents.

I wrote in the final 2020 Walt Disney World Resort of my hope that the imagineers take the chance of a brand new administration to take away the polarizing nature of getting any present sitting president converse: Magic Kingdom is a park that celebrates the previous, the long run, fantasy, and tomorrow, however not right this moment. Perhaps the truth that the announcement solely says President Biden recorded the oath and never an extended speech like Presidents 43 by way of 45 had executed, signifies that the present is additional transferring within the course I hoped. The narration of the final present, the 2017-2021 model, was heavy on the notion that the present was one which Walt Disney envisioned. In asserting the brand new model, Disney Parks Blog says the present is “the story of liberty’s leaders [which] continues to be informed and retold to new generations as Walt Disney initially envisioned.”

Of course, not solely does it present handy transportation to connections to the Magic Kingdom and its space resorts, however the loop from the Transportation and Ticket Center to EPCOT features a circle tour of (what stays of) Future World and thus, views over among the development partitions!

Personally, I actually have missed the Tangerine Caf&eacuate; fast service counter and particularly its shawarma platters. The reopened constructing is Tangerine Caf&eacuate;:Flavors of the Medina and has a limited-time Festival menu. (I want to see the venue function completely once more, and the constructing has acquired some in depth refurbishment!) Restaurant Marrakesh is open, however solely as a big, air conditioned seating space, not as a meals service location.
The Tangerine Café signal has been restored to the constructing, and the venue is now a Festival Marketplace.

Lamb, Chicken, and Beef Kebabs with Couscous can be found. I’ll do this on a future go to; it’s dear for just a few bites, however my associates that had them loved them.

With the Monorail lastly operating at EPCOT once more, there are some new views out there. In reality, even exterior EPCOT (however not proven right here), the monorail beam itself has been cleaned so completely that it virtually appears to be like model new alongside its complete size.
It has been a very long time since we have now been capable of share a brand new picture of a monorail passing by way of EPCOT.
As the monorail passes the previous Universe of Energy pavilion, you possibly can see the present development in entrance of the long run Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction in addition to the long run Play! pavilion (previously Wonders of Life). No opening dates have been talked about for these sights these days and it isn’t notably seemingly that they are going to open “in time” for the beginning of the fiftieth anniversary celebration.
