Disney World/Travel News 8-1-2022

And now, news! Progress is suddenly being made on the EPCOT Play! Pavillion, new experiences offered on the Galactic Starcruiser (Star Wars Hotel), Disney Boardwalk construction updates, Festival of The Lion King is fully restored to its former glory, great news for cruising on the COVID front, and learn how you can rent the Corleone family mansion for a summer getaway, Godfather style!

 

Don’t forget, we’re trying something new this summer, and releasing our news segment and theme park segment as two individual episodes. This helps spread all the great content we cover out over the week so you don’t miss us as much in between episodes, and also makes it easier to listen back to episodes in the future, without dated and irrelevant news stories. We hope. Make sure you’re subscribed to the show on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcatcher app, and that our show is set to automatically download. And let us know what you think about our new format!

• Something’s happening at EPCOT. What it is ain’t exactly clear, but a construction permit was recently filed for the long dormant PLAY! Pavilion, with an expiration date of December 31, 2024. No other details
