New Stitch Meet & Greet Opens Up at Magic Kingdom:


The new Stitch's Alien Encounter Character Greeting officially opened up at Magic Kingdom. The new meet & greet is indeed in the former queue of the current seasonally operating Stitch's Great Escape. 

The hours for the meet & greet will be from 10:30 a.m. until 7 p.m., hours for the character greeting will fluctuate daily. Disney is still saying that Stitch's Great Escape will operate seasonally saying that the ride is not closing for good. 

Rumors have been swirling since last year since the attraction began operating seasonally that the ride would be replaced with possibly a Wreck-It-Ralph attraction. Many expected an announcement during the D23 Expo, but to no avail there was no announcement. Stitch's Great Escape is expected to be replaced before Walt Disney World's and Magic Kingdom's 50th Anniversary in 2021.

Walls Go Up Around Universe of Energy:


It was inevitable that it would happen but walls have officially gone up as of yesterday around the Universe of Energy. Construction has already begun on the new Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster that is expected to be completed by 2021. Ellen's Energy Adventure and Universe of Energy closed August 13.

West Jet Debuts Frozen-Themed Plane:



A new aircraft inspired by Disney's hit movie "Frozen" has joined WestJet's fleet today. The new plane features Anna, Elsa, and Olaf painted on the outside and the inside is even themed to the movie.   "Disney artists, cast members, and WestJetters collaborated to design the Frozen-themed plane. And similar to the earlier Magic Plane, Disney wanted the outside of the aircraft to tell a story," the Disney Parks Blog revealed. 

On the tail of the aircraft, Anna and Elsa celebrate sisterhood and the magic of snow and the magic travels to the front of the aircraft where Olaf is show enjoying a warm summer day on the beach. The inside of the plane matches the outside as the back of the plane is the overhead bins and headrests covers are a cold theme and as you head to the front of the plane it transitions to a much warmer theme. 



Here are some more facts that the Disney Parks Blog revealed on the plane:

  • The aircraft was painted in Fort Worth, Texas.
  • The paint team included team members from Canada, the United States and Germany. They watched Frozen to get them into the spirit before work began.
  • The job took 21 days of 12-hour rotations involving a constant crew of six painters working 24/7.
  • Sparkles were added to the paint in sections to add shimmer and shine as the aircraft moves.
  • An airbrush artist was brought in to work on details around the sun, water and castle.
  • There are 54 separate overhead bin doors on the aircraft and each has a unique Frozen decal.

The plane although inspired by Disney World will fly not just to Orlando but throughout WestJet's network. What does everyone think of the Frozen-inspired aircraft?
