It’s always an exciting… dare we say MAGICAL time when we get more news of more things we love opening again! Walt Disney World has announced a list of favorites soon to be returning and entertaining guests once again!

First to return – “Wonderful World of Animation” lights up the night above Hollywood Studios once again, using incredible projection technology to transform the Chinese Theater into a showcase to display more than 90 years of Disney animation. We can enjoy this show again beginning August 1st!

A week later, on August 8th, you have another chance to be “THAT GUY” and buy the audience some churros (just kidding… unless you want to – because everyone needs free churros!) as “Monster’s Inc Laugh Floor” brings back the Monster of Ceremonies Mike Wazowski begins gathering your laughter again.

Just two weeks later, on August 15th , the tale as old as time retakes the stage in Hollywood Studios, as the legendary “Beauty & the Beast – Live on Stage” will invite you to once again be our guest, and dare you to not sing along!

Also on August 15th, And then, head to Epcot, get some fin, and surf some waves with our favorite turtle when “Turtle Talk with Crush” begins answering questions! Say it with me… “TOTALLLLLY SWEEET”

Finally, a reminder that TWO new fireworks spectacular shows are coming soon … Both “Harmonious” in Epcot and “Disney Enchantment” in Magic Kingdom will premiere Friday, October 1st, on the day of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary (and Epcot’s 39th anniversary!). With two new shows premiering, we do have to say goodbye to the current shows – “EPCOT Forever” will conclude it’s limited run on September 28th, and “Happily Ever After” will having its final showing on September 29th.

Stay tuned for more re-opening news and more announcements regarding the 50th Anniversary celebration!
