Tarps have been removed from over the decorative Monorails on the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Monorail archway signs at the Transportation and Ticket Center, revealing their updated paint. The tarps covered the signs for a few weeks.
Ahead of the 50th anniversary in 2021, the Transportation and Ticket Center was given an all-new color scheme of EARidescent blue and gold. This included repainting the entrance archways to the Monorail and ferryboat stations, which were previously purple and teal.
The archways became royal blue with “Monorail” in white lettering. The park names were in royal blue lettering against golden signs.
As seen in these photos from January 2023, the flat Monorails on top of the archways still had a coral stripe across them.
After this latest updated, the decorative Monorails have been repainted to reflect the latest Walt Disney World Monorail refurbishments.
The Monorails have blue stripes with black deltas beneath the central windows.
The full-size Monorail Blue has gray deltas, but Monorail Teal has black deltas.
The Transportation and Ticket Center acts as a gateway to Magic Kingdom, and can also transport guests to EPCOT. It’s where all guests with cars must park before getting on a Monorail or ferryboat to reach Magic Kingdom.
In addition to repainting archways, Disney removed the gates featuring characters, opening up the space of the Transportation and Ticket Center.
The TTC’s new color scheme matched the 50th anniversary decorations, as well as the updated Walt Disney World entrances and Magic Kingdom toll plaza. Blue and yellow road signs are also replacing the resort’s outdated purple road signs.

The “Rogers: The Musical” Premium Viewing Package has sold out on opening day of the new show at Disney California Adventure.
The package was sold out by 8:54 a.m., less than an hour after the park opened.
Signs were erected indicating the package was sold out. This sign would normally display available show times.
“Rogers: The Musical” will run at the Hyperion Theater in Disney California Adventure from June 30 through August 31, 2023. The package will likely continue to sell out quickly.
Guests can purchase this package from the Studio Catering Co. Truck in Hollywood Land for $29. It will be available in limited quantities per performance.
The package includes the “Rogers: The Musical” popcorn bucket with kettle coin, choice of bottled beverage, access to lounge seating in Stage 12 before the show, priority choice of seating in the theater, a souvenir lanyard, and priority access to a unique photo opportunity.
Guests will check in up to 90 minutes before the show starts and then will be let into the theater about 30 minutes before the show starts.
The kettle corn and popcorn bucket will also be available to purchase on their own.
Here is an official description of this new musical experience:
Exploring universal themes of heroism, romance and self-discovery, “Rogers: The Musical” is an exhilarating and heartfelt experience for Super Hero fans, theater enthusiasts and families alike. Avengers aficionados will appreciate creative interpretations of iconic objects and moments from Steve’s journey, while theater fans will love the eclectic array of musical styles in the score and the show’s original choreography.
“Rogers: The Musical” at Disney California Adventure park is inspired by the fictional Broadway musical theater sequence featured in the first episode of the Disney+ series “Hawkeye.” This new musical project will come to life through the creativity of Disney Live Entertainment in partnership with book writer Hunter Bell, star and book writer of the Tony Award-nominated “[title of show],” and will feature five all-new songs with music by Grammy-winning composer Christopher Lennertz and lyrics by Jordan Peterson, Christopher Lennertz and Alex Karukas. Plus, fan-favorites songs “Save The City” from the Disney+ series “Hawkeye” (written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman), and “Star Spangled Man” from the film “Captain America: The First Avenger” (written by Alan Menken and David Zippel).
“Rogers: The Musical” will be performed several times per day, Tuesday through Saturday, most weeks from June 30 through August 31, 2023. A virtual queue system will be available in the Disneyland app. Joining the virtual queue is not required, but is highly recommended, similar to “World of Color – ONE” also at Disney California Adventure.
Each day that the show is being performed, distribution for the complimentary virtual queue will begin at 10:30 a.m. PT for the first two show times of the day and 2:00 p.m. PT for the remaining show times of the day. Guests won’t be able to choose their showtime. They will be called back to the Hyperion Theater when the physical queue is ready to open, approximately 30-45 minutes before the show.
How-to details on the virtual queue system are available at Disneyland.com. If the virtual queue reaches capacity, you can check in at the Hyperion Theater before “Rogers: The Musical” begins for walk-up viewing options.
“Rogers: The Musical” themed food and beverage items will be available throughout Disney California Adventure during the show’s run.
Yesterday, we got our first look at new “Rogers: The Musical” merchandise.

Hours have been extended on select dates in July at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
On July 17, Magic Kingdom will now remain open until 11:00 p.m. instead of 10:00 p.m. It will still open at 9:00 a.m.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, opening has been shifted from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. from July 16 through July 22. Early entry for hotel guests will now begin at 8:00 a.m. The park will still close at 9:00 p.m.
Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, opening has been shifted an hour from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. also from July 16 through July 22. Early entry for hotel guests will now begin at 7:30 a.m. The park will still close at 7:00 p.m.
Guests staying at all Disney Resort hotels and “select other hotels” are eligible to take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks every day. This perk was introduced in 2021 as a benefit for resort guests visiting for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary. It’s clear that the benefit is staying for at least two more years. It replaced “Extra Magic Hours,” a similar benefit that was discontinued during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Disney recently limited several of the “select other hotels” to only have access to this perk through the end of 2023.
The current list of participating hotels is as follows:
Early theme park entry is a benefit for registered Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels, which include:
Now through December 31, 2023, the following hotels offer early theme park entry for registered Guests:
Disney states, “Please check back later for further details regarding 2024.” We assume that this means the list of hotels limited to 2023 only could still end up being added to the greater list that offers the benefit through 2024.
