The magic has been restored and the mischief has been managed. Both pre-shows have now returned to delight guests once more inside Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. We stopped by today to check out the reopened experiences. Instead of Team Members handing out 3D glasses to guests as they walk through the queue, glasses are back in their bins and guests can acquire them directly themselves. Previously, guests would continue walking directly through this area with no pre-show. […]

Welcome back to another weekly roundup of Disney World park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability for the week of June 20th, 2021!

Disney World could start off rather busy next week with guests looking to visit on Father’s Day, but then we’re heading full force into the summer travel season! Since many schools are now on summer break, it’s time to expect consistent crowds for the next few months!

It looks like we’ll have yet another week of the same park hours we’ve seen for the past couple of months now! Magic Kingdom will be open daily from 8AM-9PM.

EPCOT will be open from 11AM-10PM daily. Remember that we’re getting closer and closer to the end of the 2021 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which will conclude on July 5th! The festival will be open from 11AM-10PM daily as well.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open next week from 9AM-8PM daily.

Hollywood Studios Additional Updates

We’re continuing to see safety precautions reduced throughout the parks. On Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, most vehicles no longer have plexiglass between rows.

Meanwhile, the Black Spire Outpost Market has fully reopened. There’s no longer a line to enter or a limit to how many parties can be in each stall.

Over at BaseLine Tap House, the social distancing markers have been removed throughout the line to get inside. All of the outdoor seating is now open, too — tables are no longer marked as unavailable.

We’re constantly looking for ways to show our love for Disney, even when we’re not in the parks! And as much as we want to wear our Mickey ears 24/7, sometimes we might need an accessory that’s just a liiiiitle more subtle.

And we found the most BEAUTIFUL way to show off our Disney love all the time!

What is this magical accessory, you may ask? It’s the “Personalized Fiesta Necklace” from BestNameNecklace! And you can find it online at Jane.com. Look a little closer, and we think you’ll recognize the font used on the necklace!

It’s the Disney World script font! You can personalize the necklace to have your name written in the Disney font! SO. CUTE.

The necklaces are sterling silver with a box chain, which comes in 16″ or 18″. You can personalize with up to eight letters on the necklace, and the name adds about an inch (depending on how long the name is) to the length of the chain.

These gorgeous necklaces are on sale for 47% OFF! They’re normally $49.00, but with the sale they’re just $25.99! Make sure to grab yours quick, because the sale is only going today and tomorrow!
