Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
One of the major projects going on in Magic Kingdom is the lengthy refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. This iconic ride is getting a bit of a refresh in the form of a new track, in what Disney is calling a “mountain-top to cavern-deep refurbishment.” Needless to say, there’s a LOT of work being done here. Originally, Disney shared that the ride would reopen sometime this spring, but a new permit amendment has us thinking the refurbishment might be taking longer than originally anticipated.

Disney World is wasting absolutely no time getting started on the transformation of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster from Aerosmith to The Muppets.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is closed!
On March 2nd, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith permanently closed to make way for the new Muppets version of the ride, and while we’re sad to see another Disney World OG close, we’re excited about what The Muppets will bring to this ride!

Chances are, we’ve all been there: You find your seat on the airplane, get as cozy as you can, and put your headphones on — only to be met with a sound overpowering whatever it is you’re listening to. That’s right — someone is listening to something OUT LOUD on the airplane.

It looks like that exact act — listening to something out loud — might be banned on one major airline soon. United Airlines recently updated its policy to potentially ban passengers who play audio or video without headphones.
