Almost There Travel by Gina

There are a lot of new adventures planned at Disney’s Hollywood Studios – from monsters and mermaids to villains and more. There’s huge excitement around the new Monsters, Inc-themed land as well.

Construction on the land is ready to begin and progress walls begin installation in the area before the end of March. This means that Cast at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano will serve their final Guests on May 10.

As for Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo, Guests will have some additional time to enjoy these areas as we kick-off a glorious 5-month finale before these areas have their final curtain call on June 7.

It’s no secret that the Muppets have a special place in our hearts and Disney is exploring ways to preserve the Muppet*Vision 3D film and other parts of the experience for generations to come. And don’t forget! Kermit, Miss Piggy and friends are soon headed just across the park to their new home on Sunset Boulevard. More to come about that timeline from Disney Parks!

🐾🌍 Fun Fact Friday! 🌍🐾

Did you know? Disney’s Animal Kingdom has a unique safety feature: all bathroom doors can fully close and lock! 🦁🐘 Unlike other Disney parks, this is because Animal Kingdom is home to live animals, and in the rare event of one escaping, guests need a secure space to shelter. Talk about wild attention to detail!

is National Gift Card Day! Shop for new ones, or USE those Disney gift cards you got for Christmas! If you are thinking about purchasing gift cards, head to your local Target, Costco, Sam's Club, or BJ's to get discounted ones.

💲Gift cards are a great way to purchase food, drinks, souvenirs, and pretty much anything else in the parks!

💲If you have several gift cards you can combine them on the Disney gift card website.
https://www.disneygiftcard.com/checkbalance

💲You can take a picture of the gift card barcode and the cast members can scan it directly from your phone.

💲You can also put the gift card number in the notes app on your phone and copy and paste the number to use with mobile food orders.

Best use of gift cards- use them to PAY OFF that vacation. Need more information on how that works? I'd be happy to help! www.almosttheretravelbygina.com
