4. New concept art released for M & M's Store at Disney Springs 

Disney released concept art showing off the new 10200 sq. ft. M & M's story that will be coming to Disney Springs later this year. This location will be situated in the former Fit2Run and Curl locations next to Splitsville and across from House of Blues. Unfortunately, the existing location in Florida Mall will be closing very soon to make way for the opening of the new Disney Springs M & M's store.

5. New preview of Harmonious released

Epcot's new nighttime spectacular is coming soon, and Disney has released a new sneak peek for guests excited to experience this upcoming show. In this video (which you can watch above) it is revealed that Harmonious will feature a total of 5 "show action" barges that will form a "compass", with one extra large barge in the center and four surrounding it. The barge featured in the video is 30ft wide by 75ft long and, like the other barges that will be featured in this show, features large screens, as well as equipment for pyrotechnic, light, and water effects. 

Though we don't have an official opening date yet, Disney is already testing certain show elements at the park after hours, including lighting and audio. In addition, Epcot's World Showcase torches (which are currently out of service) are being refurbished so they will be ready to be lit once again as part of the new Harmonious show, which will debut sometime this spring!
