This morning, part of a popular store collapses causing chaos at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Check out details here. Rope Drop When planning a Disney trip, it often seems like guests need to learn a new language! Disney parks lingo is extensive and sometimes confusing. Terminology like “lightning lane”, “quick service”, and “park hopper” flies off the tongue of Disney […]
The post Breaking: Collapse at Disney World causes a complete area to close appeared first on KennythePirate.com.
This morning, something caused a good-sized chunk of wall around a doorway to collapse at Keystone Clothiers, a popular store on Hollywood Boulevard near the entrance of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Entry to the park was a bit backed up even 30 minutes after park open, we suspect due to this incident. A large portion of Hollywood Boulevard is now closed off, meaning guests have to walk around this area to proceed to other sections of the park.
This side portion of the Keystone Clothiers facade (which replicates the historic Max Factor building in Los Angeles) appears to have crumbled right off of its support structure and onto the ground. An entire light fixture from the side of the entrance came down with it.
Managers, security, maintenance staff, and more surround the crumbled facade, as they try to figure out a repair plan in the middle of a theme park operating day.
Cast Members we spoke to speculated at that an electric wheelchair struck the facade and then the large portion fell down, but that is unconfirmed at this time.
Keystone Clothiers, which currently sells Marvel and Star Wars goods, is closed for the time being. Luckily, Disney World sells the same merchandise in many stores, so there isn’t much to miss out on.

The holidays are coming up soon, and Disney is getting ready!
Thanksgiving in Disney World 2021
Disney World does up the holiday season BIG — decorations are put up overnight right after Halloween, Christmas trees and gingerbread houses are scattered throughout the resort, and there’s a ton of special food. This year will also see the return of EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. And, while a lot of people will be in the parks around Christmas, there’s another important holiday you need to plan for — Thanksgiving!
Dining reservations are open NOW for Thanksgiving Day in Disney World!
Thanksgiving Feast
If you’re going to be at Disney for the holiday and want to make sure you can eat at a restaurant where they’re serving a special meal, you should go ahead and book your table now, because the reservations can go fast.
Our Thanksgiving Meal!
Last year, we saw special Thanksgiving food at places like Tiffins, Tusker House, Enzo’s Hideaway, Raglan Road, Topolino’s Terrace, Toledo, and Whispering Canyon Cafe.
In past years, we’ve seen that a lot of Disney World’s table service restaurants will offer at least some version of a turkey dish on Thanksgiving Day, even if it’s not announced beforehand.
Apple Crostata
If you’re planning on being in Disney World for Thanksgiving, make sure you go ahead and grab your park tickets and make your Park Pass Reservations, because you need both to get into the parks and the reservations CAN get booked up for big holidays like this!
And, the day after Thanksgiving is the start of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation for EPCOT that day if you want to be one of the first people to try out all of the festive eats. We’ll be bringing you more about the festival soon.

Tropical Storm Ian has officially become a hurricane.
Stormy Weather
We’ve been watching for updates on this storm for several days now, as Orlando and much of Florida remain in the cone of uncertainty. We’ve shared updates on what Disney is doing to prepare for the storm, changes made at the Orlando Airport in anticipation of the storm, and what you need to know if you’ll be cruising during hurricane season. Here’s the latest update and what you need to know.
As of September 26th, what was tropical storm Ian has officially become Hurricane Ian. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) posted their 5AM update. As of that update, they noted that “considerable flooding impacts are possible later this week in west central Florida.” They also shared that additional flash or urban flooding, and flooding on rivers, across the Florida peninsula, could not be ruled out for later in the week.
Ian is expected to be a major hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and, regardless of its exact track, there is a risk for “life-threatening storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and heavy rainfall along the west coast of Florida and the Florida panhandle by the middle of this week.”

Just before 7AM, the update below was posted showing a model that forecasts Hurricane Ian sitting just off the west coast of Florida for several days.
Look at this- the GFS model is showing Hurricane Ian siting off the west coast of Florida for days…

Thus far, Lake County (a county in central Florida) has announced that there will be no school on Wednesday and Thursday due to the expected impacts of the storm. There has been no update from other counties as of yet, according to WESH 2 News.

Why is Hurricane Ian intensifying so quickly? It’s now over the highest area of ‘tropical cyclone heat potential’ in the entire Atlantic basin.
That means that not only will it continue firing up… but it should continue rapidly intensifying… pic.twitter.com/4LUbFpdlW8

Thus far, Disney has not announced any closures in advance of the storm. However, more updates could be made within the next few days.
Ian is expected to strengthen today, and the main impacts are expected to be felt Wednesday through Thursday in the Central Florida area.
Weather today is NORMAL- but we do need to be getting our homes secured for a storm.

Welcome foolish mortals to Magic Kingdom! Today we plan on doing some shopping and rides. As always we will report on all the new things we find. Let’s get started.
In the Emporium, we spotted a new reusable Halloween tote bag available. This would be the perfect bag to carry all of your Halloween candy at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
New Hades merchandise has arrived in the Emporium. There is a Hades hoodie, t-shirt and sweatpants now available. The hoodie features Hades, and the wording “Hot head.”
The t-shirt features our favorite villain from the underworld and the wording, “Feel the heat.”
The sweatpants match the same design as the Hades hoodie.
We spotted a new Daisy sweater available in the Emporium. This sweater is purple and features Daisy Duck and white and pink flowers.
The Daisy sweater joins the Mickey and Minnie Mouse sweaters we had previously found.
A new Goofy “Art of Skiing,” reversible bucket hat in celebration of Goofy’s 90th anniversary was also available in the Emporium.
Two new holiday ornaments were available in Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers. The first ornament is gold and features the 50th anniversary castle and the wording, “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.” The second ornament is red and features Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World.
We spotted two new Crislu necklaces in Uptown Jewelers. There is a Jasmine pavé necklace and The Princess and the Frog ”Love” necklace.
Also in Uptown Jewelers, Pandora Jewelry is offering a complimentary Disney x Pandora Villains poster with any qualifying pandora jewelry merchandise purchase of $175 to more.
In Main Street Cinema, plenty of Vans x Disney sneakers were available in all sizes.
The line wasn’t long for The Haunted Mansion so we decided to hitch a ride on a doom buggy.
After riding The Haunted Mansion, we stopped into Memento Mori and spotted two new spooky light-up graveyard ghost statues. The “Singing Busts” piece features all 5 singing men, and they light-up and play the Haunted Mansion classic, “Grim Grinning Ghosts.”
The Prince Amenmose Mummy Haunted Mansion statue also lights up and plays the Haunted Mansion classic, “Grim Grinning Ghosts.”
Thanks for following along with our day!

Can you believe it has been seven whole days since we last went shopping together? I have so many fun things to share with you that I have literally been up all night waiting for you to get here! Okay, fine, it was your night and my daytime; but it’s still true.
Where should we start? I know; let’s begin with the coolest gift I’ve seen for a Chess or Haunted Mansion fan. If you are both, then this is your day!
With the holidays on their way, The Haunted Mansion Light-Up Chess Set, $99.99, is definitely going to please someone in your life. Take a chance on this utterly unique cheese set that lights up with specific characters from the attraction in place of traditional pieces.
I was excited to see this new ornament appear on the Disney virtual shelves, though, admittedly, I was not expecting the price tag. The Robin Hood and Maid Marian Figure is $99.99, and approx. 9” H x 6” W x 3 1/4” D.
Add a statement piece to your Halloween look or start a Disney Bounding obsession in your everyday life with the Evil Queen Jacket for Women – Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, $79.99.
It’s a classic for a reason. Though not new as such, the Minnie Mouse Sequin Ear Headband with Sequin Polka Dot Bow for Adults, $29.99, has made a comeback.
And, of course, for those that prefer a more bubblegum look to your earwear, the Minnie Mouse Sequin Ear Headband with Polka Dot Bow for Adults – Purple, $29.99, is here too.
An adorable Minnie Mouse Line Art Dooney & Bourke Backpack, $268, features black straps and red lining.
Do you need to fit more in your bag than a mini backpack can offer? Try the Minnie Mouse Line Art Dooney & Bourke Tote Bag for $298.
Last but not least, the convenient option; is the Minnie Mouse Line Art Dooney & Bourke Small Zip Sac $248.
Team up in a new stylish look with the Mickey and Minnie Mouse Shirt for Adults, $64.99; wait for it.
Along with the matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse Vintage-Style Dress for Women, $69.99.
Another item that isn’t new but always deserves a place on our agenda. The Hatbox Ghost Pet Costume and Toy Set – The Hunted Mansion, $29.99, is the most fabulous pet costume you will ever find. It’s a shame it won’t fit my gigantic chocolate lab.
How cute is this Mickey Mouse Oversize Fashion T-Shirt for Adults – Plane Crazy, $29.99? I really want to pair this with a flowy fit and flare skirt.
Another classic is the simple yet elegant Mickey Mouse Ear Headband for Adults, $29.99.
I want this one too! Mickey and Minnie Vintage-Style Puff Sleeve T-Shirt for Women, $39.99; it would look perfect with jeans and flats or a cute knee-length skirt.
Are you looking to celebrate the arrival of the Autumn season with a few accessories that show your love? You can find all of these items below on the Loungefly Website Here.
What is cuter than a little pet bed that looks like a honey pot with honey spilling out of it? Nothing. The answer is there is nothing cuter at all. See what is new from Chewy below.
Coming soon to the Coach Outlet is the COACH x Disney Villains collection that features all your favorite evil characters in one place.
Did you miss our first look at the new EPCOT 40th Anniversary merch last week? Find it here.
