Just in case you missed the smaller news stories, though, we’ve got you covered. We’re going to tell you about the quiet announcements Disney World made this week and get you up to speed.
New Baby Animals
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge just welcomed three new baby nyala calves to the world. Right now, they’re spending time with their mom backstage, but maybe soon, they’ll be out on the savannah where everyone can see them. Nyalas are a spiral-horned species of antelope that are native to Southern Africa.

We can’t wait to see them for ourselves, but we hope they have some good bonding moments with their mom.
Beam Signing on Monstropolis Roller Coaster
Disney has a long-standing tradition that Cast Members get to sign a beam while a new ride or attraction is being constructed. Well,Disney Hollywood Studios Cast Members recently got to sign a beam for the new Monstropolis roller coaster, which will be based on the doors chase scene in the first Monsters, Inc. movie.
This is a fun way for Disney Cast Members to leave their permanent mark on the parks.
