Walt Disney World News

Mike is still sick, so Mark introduced the show solo again.

  • Disney announced a new 800-room resort to be built on the island of Oahu. The resort will be split between Disney Vacation Club rooms and standard hotel rooms.

  • There are also loads of photos in the Update: construction photos of the Animal Kingdom Villas’ Kidani Village annex, the “not-a-DVC-resort” adjacent to the Contemporary, and Mickey Avenue in front of the Toy Story Mania building; plus photos of the Osborne Lights being erected, the completed Jedi stage, the Epcot 25 exhibit, retro Epcot merchandise and more.

This and other news can be found in this week’s Walt
Disney World Park Update

We’ve been summarizing just portions of the weekly Walt Disney World Park
Update on each show because we had received feedback that you didn’t want
to hear the same thing that you already read on Monday, so we just hit the
high points for those who hadn’t read it. Please let
us know
if you would like us to continue as we have been, to start reading
or summarizing the entire Update, or to just drop the Walt Disney World news
entirely and only report corporate news.
