Could there still be hope for the Rivers of America at Disney World?

Last week, we discussed all the attractions that would be leaving soon to make way for the new projects discussed at the D23: Ultimate Disney Fan Event last month. Now it seems that the proposed Cars-themed land might have hit a snag. The State of Florida is asking for permit revisions to transform Tom Sawyer Island & Rivers of America at Magic Kingdom. With this new hurdle and the backlash from fans about losing the iconic river, could we see Disney revise these plans? We’ll discuss it tonight.

Remember riding in the front of the monorail? Disneyland is bringing that experience back for guests. In 2009, after a tragic accident at Walt Disney World, the policy was changed to no longer allow “co-pilots” in the front. Could this mean a return to this offering in Florida as well?

Jollywood Nights, the hard-ticketed party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is returning for 2024. We’ve now received some additional details for how they plan to plus out this event for this year, including an ice skating show called “Glisten!” We also have more news on characters, and the special treat at the night’s end.

Magic Kingdom is notorious for subpar counter-service foods. One of our favorites, Pecos Bill, has gotten a menu upgrade! We’ll take a look at the new offerings and share our thoughts.

Six Flags has instituted a new chaperone policy for teens, and now Universal guests are calling for a similar policy for Halloween Horror Nights. But beyond that, should there be a better policy at Disney Parks as well? Where do you fall on this topic? Our panel has some differing opinions.

Also, new pavement in Adventureland, extended hours for EPCOT this holiday season, Rise of the Resistance is offering Single Rider again, and much more!
