2018) The fun is heating up at Walt Disney World Resort with all-new
entertainment and more set to debut Memorial Day weekend rounding
out a simply incredible kick-off to summer. Donald’s Dino-Bash! is a lively celebration with festive decor and character greetings galore, premiering May 25 in DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. During this prehistoric party Donald and pals take over DinoLand U.S.A. to celebrate Donald’s new-found discovery that ducks are actually descendants of dinosaurs. Guests will enjoy photo ops and greetings in several locations with feathered friends like Donald, Daisy, Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad McQuack, and others during a rip-roaring party. The day culminates with a nightly Dino-Riffic dance party with Chip ‘n Dale, along with a DJ spinning wild tunes. At Magic Kingdom Park, Super Heroes take center stage with the May 25 premiere of the Incredible Tomorrowland Expo. This celebration of all things super welcomes Edna Mode – the legendary supersuit designer for the Supers – to Magic Kingdom Park for the first time ever. Mr. Incredible, Frozone, Mrs. Incredible and other characters from the Disney●Pixar film, “The Incredibles,” and the upcoming “Incredibles 2,” join together for an interactive celebration featuring incredible decor and high-energy music. Families can even get their groove on during “Super Party Time,” a continuous dance party and show on the Rockettower Plaza Stage with themed games and engaging performances by up-and-coming Supers. More Big Fun in Store Incredible summer fun continues at Epcot with more Super Hero action. Star-Lord and Gamora, from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies take guests on a musical journey through the cosmos in the Guardians of the Galaxy – Awesome Mix Live! concert series. Featuring hits from Star-Lord’s Awesome Mixtapes – fun and favorite tunes from the two movie soundtracks – the show will take place five times daily June 9 through Aug. 19. The big thing happening June 30 is also really small. That’s the grand opening of Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where guests will “shrink” to the size of a toy in a playful land inspired by the hit Disney●Pixar “Toy Story” films. Encompassing eleven fun-filled acres, Toy Story Land will be home to two all-new attractions, Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers, and one expanded favorite – Toy Story Mania! More Memorial Day Fun at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is in on the incredible summer fun, too.

One-Year Anniversary for Pandora – The World of Avatar Memorial Day weekend also marks the one-year anniversary of Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The jaw-dropping land continues to amaze guests, letting them journey to an alien world where they soar on the back of banshees, marvel at floating mountains and sail thru a bioluminescent rainforest. The glowing world of Pandora was the inspiration for a limited-release, interactive banshee that is set to fly into the Windtraders merchandise location on May 27, the land’s one-year anniversary. Banshees – available in myriad colors – have been a treasured take home for guests since Pandora opened. The new banshee is inspired by Pandora’s bioluminescent landscape and features a moving head, mouth and wings. |
