Walt Disney World is reopening in phases this week. We caught up with everything new and missing at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom during the Annual Passholder previews.
Some art experiences were not in operation at Magic Kingdom yesterday. Most notably, the artists who typically perform custom parasol painting, caricatures, and hand-cut paper silhouettes were unavailable. We also noticed ornament customization was halted at the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe (a Cast Member mention it should resume sometime soon).
We spoke to a Cast Member yesterday and they mentioned that they are keeping contact experiences limited. However, some experiences could become available again soon. We just got word from another Cast Member that Glass Blowing demonstrations are set to return tomorrow — but things can always change.
Crystal Arts on Main Street typically features an Artist who creates custom glass pieces in front of guests. The classic experience has been around for quite a while. We’re interested to see if it will make an appearance tomorrow.
We’re getting a lot of questions regarding the return of many crowd-favorite experiences. (Like the possible return of balloons on Main Street!) Keep watching our posts for updates as we learn more.
