A guest who spent $168 on their birthday dinner at Frontera Cocina at Disney Springs has claimed they received a single candle instead of a dessert. Disney is working to make it easier to load guests in wheelchairs and ECVs onto attractions without the need to transfer. A portion of the PeopleMover tracks at Disneyland Resort is currently covered with a plastic drop sheet. 

All this and more in today’s daily recap for Thursday, September 17, 2026.
