The Disney Parks Blog revealed today that Rivers of America and the Disneyland Railroad will be re-opening by next Summer. This includes the famous Disneyland Railroad, Fantasmic!, Mark Twain Riverboat, Sailing Ship Columbia, Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, and Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes. It was revealed in a blog about the area's history and how it was one of the parks original attractions.
Rivers of America and the Disneyland Railroad were closed last year in anticipation of construction of Star Wars Land being built. Here is what to expect when the area re-opens Summer 2017:
"And next year, history will be made on the Rivers of America once again with a gorgeous new riverbank and an elevated trestle over which the iconic Disneyland Railroad will travel. For now, be sure to stop by the Main Street and New Orleans Square stations now to get an up-close look at the steam engines of the Disneyland Railroad, and we’ll be back with a look at how the railroad has changed through the years while remaining a Disneyland icon."
I expect the next news will be finally when Star Wars Land will open. Are you excited for Rivers of America and the Disneyland Railroad to be re-opening next year?

The Muppets Officially Coming to Magic Kingdom this Fall:
A rumor that began late last month is now official. A new live show featuring The Muppets will be coming to the Magic Kingdom this October. It is called, "The Muppets Present... Great Moments in American History." Here is what we can expect:
Sam Eagle, the fiercely patriotic American eagle who is forever trying to set a high moral standard for the Muppets, will join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo and James Jefferson, town crier of Liberty Square, as they gather outside The Hall of Presidents to present historical tales in hysterical fashion as only they can. From the midnight ride of Paul Revere to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Muppets appear throughout the day to share with Guests, their own unique take on the founding fathers and the birth of the United States of America.
The new live show will also feature an all new original song and of course plenty of that Muppets humor we all know and love. I can't wait to see "The Muppets Present... Great Moments in American History" and the hilarious fun it will bring to Liberty Square.
