Editorial Summary
Tom Corless reports on several updates across Disney theme parks and cruise lines. At Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Finding Nemo show has been replaced by Finding Nemo the Big Blue and Beyond, which features a large screen and fewer performers. A Maleficent dragon float experienced a mechanical issue where a horn fell off during a parade at Magic Kingdom. Epcot's Coral Reef restaurant is implementing significant menu changes, including the removal of its long-standing lobster bisque. At Hollywood Studios, new Twilight Zone Tower of Terror pins have arrived without using the official ride name, likely to avoid licensing fees. The report also covers the upcoming MagicBand Plus rollout and the reopening of Victoria and Albert's at the Grand Floridian, which includes a redesigned dining room. Disney has issued statements regarding the ongoing multi-year transformation of the Grand Floridian Resort. Additionally, the Disney Wish cruise ship has officially been delivered in Germany and is en route to Florida.
