Here is a first look at the menu for Hurly-Burly, opening at Disney’s BoardWalk on October 1.

Guests can step inside this historic seaside theater, once the home of the BoardWalk’s most celebrated vaudeville performers. Now, nearly a hundred years later, Hurly-Burly is opening its doors once again with entertainment offerings, vintage drinks and lite bites inspired by an era of world class performances and nautical novelty!

During the afternoons, guests can pop in for lively activities such as trivia and games designed for the whole family. Then, beginning at 9 p.m., experience vibrant evenings of live music for guests ages 21 and older. And of course, this turn-of-the-century theater would not be complete without a nostalgic all-day menu to match!

Guests can get ready to indulge in shareable appetizers and small plates inspired by classic boardwalk fare. Snack on the savory Meatballs in Tomato Gravy, a classic dish that the whole family will enjoy. Or opt for some headlining small plates including the Roast Beef Sliders, the Oven-Roasted Shrimp, and the Tomato Pie. And for a sweet grand finale, Mini Apple Cider Doughnuts.

For our guests over 21, sip on the Mertini, a twist on your classic gin martini and an ode to maritime melodrama gone by at this theater. Enjoy modern takes on classic cocktails such as the Overproof Amaretto Sour, made with Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style bourbon, and the La Taquilla Picante, which translates to “The Hot Ticket,” a spicy margarita garnished with a spiced nutmeg rim. For our guests of all ages, the Overture in Orange is a nostalgic orange and creamy frozen treat. And for coffee lovers, sip on the Caramel Corn Cold Brew, topped with caramel sweet cream, and caramel popcorn. There is also the Hurly-Burly walk-up window for select beverages!

August 4, 2026: From Sunrise Sips to Fireworks Views: New Spaces Coming to Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge

There’s more magic happening along the shores of Bay Lake as Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge continues to take shape.

Here is a first look at some of these exciting new venues guests can enjoy when the resort opens next summer.

Your Lakeshore Lodge Arrival

When guests arrive at Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge, they’ll step into the lobby and become immersed in the sights and sounds of nature. Spectacular floor‑to‑ceiling windows will welcome natural sunlight and showcase sweeping views of The Wetlands outdoor recreation area, allowing the local flora and fauna to flow seamlessly into the architecture, artwork, and ambiance.

Drawing inspiration from the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Pocahontas, a shimmering fiberoptic river will illuminate the floor, while overhead, a blown glass Colors of the Wind sculpture with hundreds of suspended glass leaves will fill the space with movement, color, and wonder.

Natural materials will be incorporated throughout the lobby design, with custom tapestries inspired by the film’s landscapes and thoughtfully crafted furnishings with accents of river-recovered cypress wood.

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge will debut with three distinctive dining experiences for guests to enjoy throughout their stay. From convenient, grab-and-go favorites to memorable waterfront dining, each location is thoughtfully designed to highlight the resort’s connection to the natural beauty of Bay Lake.

Along the lakefront, Moonglade will offer an enchanting table-service dining experience where stunning water views are part of every course. Here, guests will enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes featuring seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

Floor-to-ceiling windows will frame the gracefully arching cypress trees along Bay Lake where artful lighting and nuanced design reflect the interplay of light and shadow.

They can enjoy shareable bites and specialty beverages while soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds The Wetlands. Inspired by the art of plein-air painting, this pool bar will showcase a collection of original artwork created by Imagineers as they drew inspiration from the Bay Lake landscapes.

The Wetlands will be thoughtfully designed with both fun and relaxation in mind. Younger guests will become part of nature’s story through whimsical wet and dry play areas inspired by the music and storytelling of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Pocahontas.” Drawing from the lyrics “the heron and the otter are my friends” from the beloved song “Colors of the Wind,” these vibrant spaces will celebrate the playful connections found in nature.

Heron Shores will welcome exploration and hands‑on play with imaginative climbing features, while just around the riverbend, Otter Springs will come to life with interactive water features where little ones can cool off as they splash and slide. Nearby, the lazy Daydream River will invite guests to sit back and relax as the current carries them through the recreation area, offering a leisurely way to take in views of the surrounding landscape.

At the heart of The Wetlands will be Lakeside Lagoon, the resort’s zero‑entry feature pool where guests of all ages can come together under the Florida sun, complete with a spiral waterslide that leads into the refreshing water. Tucked away on the opposite side of the resort, Perspective Pond will be home to a leisure pool and whirlpool spa, perfectly positioned for views of Magic Kingdom fireworks in the evenings.

Whether your clients choose to start their morning with a peaceful float along the Daydream River or end the day watching the sun set over Bay Lake, each area of The Wetlands will offer a distinct connection to nature, balancing breathtaking beauty and tranquility with moments of discovery and play.

As guests make their way along a scenic path through the recreation area, they’ll uncover fun facts about the local flora and fauna that surrounds them. Keep an eye out for a special plaque that honors a beloved historic attraction that once stood on this very spot! 

And best of all, the fun in the sun is just a boat ride away from Magic Kingdom! Staying in the magic at a Disney World hotel means enjoying access to unique amenities, along with special benefits such as complimentary transportation across Walt Disney World Resort and extra time to enjoy the theme parks.

Stay tuned to Letters from Lakeshore on Disney Travel News for more details as Disney Lakeshore Lodge continues to take shape.

April 21, 2026: Celebrate the Beauty and Magic of Nature at Disney Lakeshore Lodge

Introducing Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a waterfront retreat where guests and their loved ones will discover the wonder of nature through the artistry of Disney storytelling.

Projected to open at Walt Disney World Resort in summer 2027, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will celebrate the beauty and magic of nature as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers. Inspired by Walt Disney’s lifelong admiration for the great outdoors, the resort’s design will pay tribute to decades of animated stories rooted in nature, with subtle nods to classic films — from the lush forests of Bambi and the colorful winds of Pocahontas to the sweeping glacial landscapes of Brother Bear.

Nestled along the tranquil shores of Bay Lake, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will invite families to slow down, take in their surroundings, and create cherished memories together. Spectacular floor‑to‑ceiling windows will welcome natural sunlight and showcase views of the local flora and fauna, allowing the outdoors to flow seamlessly into the architecture, artwork, and ambiance.

With 967 thoughtfully designed rooms, this new addition to the Disney Resorts Collection will offer a variety of ways to stay, from cozy studios to spacious suites. Many rooms will offer peaceful views of Bay Lake by day and spectacular views of Magic Kingdom park fireworks by night. The resort will also debut with new one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses along the waterfront, offering families an even closer connection to nature with ample space to relax and unwind.

In the months ahead, we’ll share more about the dining locations, recreational offerings, amenities, and distinctive design details that will bring the spirit of nature and the magic of Disney storytelling to life at Disney Lakeshore Lodge.

Make a Wish in the City that Never Sleeps  

Disney Cruise Line is headed back to New York City!

The Disney Wish will arrive in New York in late September 2027 after the ship’s inaugural season in Europe. For seven special voyages, the Disney Wish will set sail on four- to seven-night sailings to beautiful destinations, bringing you from “the city that never sleeps” to the vacation of your dreams.  

Guests will have the chance to wave goodbye to the big city and say hello to the pink sand beaches of Bermuda on five sailings from New York. Three of these cruises will extend the visit for an extra day to give families more time to experience Bermuda’s rich culture and stunning scenery. 

Just in time for the brilliant colors of the autumn leaves, Disney Cruise Line will sail from New York to New England and Canada’s Atlantic coast for the first time in nearly four years. These charming coastlines create the perfect seasonal photo backdrop, complete with Disney Cruise Line’s iconic red funnels.

More to Explore in Puerto Rico and Panama

There will be more opportunities to sail from the historic coasts of San Juan onboard the Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy in Fall 2027 and Spring 2028, sending you on five- to seven-night Southern and Eastern Caribbean sailings dotted with tropical island escapes.

The Disney Magic will make two repositioning cruises through the legendary Panama Canal in Fall 2027 and Spring 2028. These 14-night cruises will each make a maiden call, with the eastbound sailing stopping in the vibrant Fuerte Amador (Panama City), Panama, and the westbound sailing stopping in Colon, Panama, the Caribbean gateway to the canal.

Repositioning sailings are the perfect way to enjoy more time onboard with Disney entertainment, unforgettable dining experiences, and fun in the sun on the upper decks, all while visiting thrilling new destinations.

Delightfully Bewitching New Details About Villains Land at Magic Kingdom Magic  Mirror on the wall, which land is the most menacing and magnificent of them all? Villains Land will bring a devious and dark “magic” to the Magic Kingdom.

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 04:12:36 -0400 https://www.disneytravelagents.com/news/12287 https://www.disneytravelagents.com/news/12287 (Disney Destinations) Disney Destinations Magic  Mirror on the wall, which land is the most menacing and magnificent of them all? This question was answered today during the Disney Experiences showcase, Horizons: A Carousel of Progress.

Villains Land will bring a devious and dark “magic” to the Magic Kingdom, while managing to be cohesive with the storytelling of the broader park.

What is the Storyline of Villains Land?

References from classic characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios will inspire Villains Land, while the overarching story is a brand new, original take on those iconic villains. The Magic Kingdom invites you into a fairytale and Villains Land is no exception…

In many fairytales, the real journey begins when you stray from the safe path and instead turn towards the vast, foreboding forest. If you dare enter the forest of Villains Land, you may soon come across a Wishing Well that’s been torn asunder.  Under most circumstances, a Wishing Well would indicate pure and good energy at work, but something dark happened to this one.  Once upon a time, someone made an evil wish here – a wish so evil it corrupted the stone and broke open the structure, spreading the Well’s poisoned magic throughout the forest.

This sinister setting is tempting for those with wicked intentions, so, one by one, the villains have come here to try and claim the last of the Wishing Well’s power. Villains Land will be shaped by those who have used this dark magic to conjure the perfect new lairs for themselves. These mighty fortresses and gleaming palaces not only reflect the personality of the villains who own them, they invite guests into a tantalizing treasure trove of treats, trinkets, and more temptations. The size and scale were compared to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, so there will be no shortage of space to explore and enjoy a bit of mischievous fun.

Villains Land will have two major attractions, in addition to shops and restaurants.  

Maleficent Coaster in Villains Land

The first is an exhilarating coaster experience, where guests will come face-to-face with the Mistress of All Evil herself, Maleficent. Guests will race through enchanted briar surrounding her frightening mountaintop fortress – if you’re feeling brave enough to answer her invitation. This coaster will include elements they’ve never attempted before on similar attractions, so it is set to be a truly groundbreaking project.

Mirror Realm Dark Ride in Villains Land

There’s a second headlining attraction of Villains Land: a dark ride, featuring a whole array of your favorite Disney Villains – hosted by the Magic Mirror.

Guests will find the Magic Mirror where the Evil Queen keeps him in the catacombs beneath her pristine palace. After making their way to him, he’ll magically transport you into his mystical Mirror Realm to see things on the other side of the mirror.  There, in his ethereal realm, guests will be transfixed by countless Disney Villains conjured in ways only the Magic Mirror can do. A combination of special effects and physical set pieces will bring his Mirror Realm – and these iconic Villains – to life.
