Though Disney's Hollywood Studios already has an Incredibles-themed dance party happening every day in the former Pixar Studios area of the park, it looks like they are going to be adding another Pixar-themed dance party to the roster when Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy opens. Beginning next week DJ’s Ready! Set! Party Time! dance party will be held several times a day and will feature Lightning McQueen’s Pit Crew getting everyone around DJ engaged in entertaining “Cars”-inspired dances and games.

Mizner's Lounge at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort is going to be expanded during an upcoming refurbishment that will kick off next month. To make room, Commander Porter's will close on April 4, and merchandise from this location will be moved to Summer Lace on the ground floor. During the closure of Mizner's, a temporary lounge will be set up by the Garden View Tea Room, with the The Grand Floridian Orchestra performing here during this time. This project is expected to be completed later this fall.

Last year, a special Guest Experience Team was deployed at the Magic Kingdom Park during the holiday season to help Guests make the most of their day by proactively assisting guests with booking, modifying and recovering FastPass+ selections, navigating the My Disney Experience app, and using MagicBands. And now it has been confirmed that these special Cast Members, who can be found wearing blue shirts, and in Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland and Adventureland, will be sticking around for the foreseeable future.
