Walt Disney World Lifts August Blockouts for Annual Passholders; New Names for Mission: Space Missions

Walt Disney World Lifts Some August Blockouts for Annual Passholders:

In less than 3 weeks, we will be saying goodbye to The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Ellen's Energy Adventure at Epcot to make way for new attractions. Since the announcement was made at the D23 Expo just a few weeks ago, many Annual Passholders who have been blocked out for the Summer were worried they may not get one last to chance to ride the two attractions before they close.

That was changed today, as Passholders got notification that Walt Disney World would be lifting the blockout dates early.


Now guests with Silver and Weekday Select Annual Passes will be able to start visiting Walt Disney World beginning August 1. This will give them almost two weeks to enjoy these two attractions one last time.


New Mission: Space Missions Will Get New Names:


When Mission: Space returns in just a few weeks guests riding the attraction will no longer be choosing between the Green Mission and the Orange Mission. The two missions will have new names when the attraction opens. 

The classic Orange Mission will now be called "Mission: Space - Mars." The new kid-friendly mission that was the Green Mission will now be called, "Mission: Space - Earth." The new names reflect where each of the missions go on their destinations.

Chase Ends Sponsorship for Food & Wine; New Adventures Begin at Mission: Space

Chase Ends Sponsorship for Epcot International Food & Wine Festival:


Last week, we finally got a chance to look at all the menus for the global marketplaces for this year's Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. This week it seems to be different sort of news as Chase will no longer be sponsoring the festival this year. 

Which means Disney Chase Cardholders will no longer receive early booking privileges, no special event for cardholders, and most important it looks like there will be no Chase Lounge which was quite a nice break the last few years.


More Details on the New Missions Coming to Mission: Space:


We received news from the D23 Expo that Mission: Space would open next month and guests would see different missions when it re-opens. The orange (more intense) will be updated and the green mission (less intense) will have a whole new mission all together.

The updated Orange Mission will make an even more visually stunning trip to Mars, while the all-new Green adventure will allow guests to blast off for an orbital adventure around planet Earth.

Are you excited about the changes coming to Mission: Space at Epcot?
