March 2010

Magic Kingdom

Sometime in 2010, Mickey's ToonTown Fair will close to make way for the Fantasyland Expansion!

Tinker Bell's Fairy Treasures in Fantasyland closed for refurbishment March 1, 2010. The rehab will enhance Castle Couture in Fantasyland, right outside Cinderella Castle, so that it can offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique patrons a convenient Disney Photo Imaging location where they can have their themed portrait taken. This eliminates having to travel to Exposition Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. for package pictures. Construction is due to be finished by late March.

Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party is on hiatus until spring 2010. The area is being renovated.

Epcot

Cantina de San Angel at the Mexico pavilion in Epcot, has closed for a significant refurbishment and expansion until fall 2010 (reopening is tentatively set for late September, but could change). The company that operates the restaurants in the Mexico pavilion, San Angel Inn, LLC, plans to open on the site a new 400-seat waterside restaurant and quick service food location "specializing in the freshly baked culinary flavors of Mexico." During the refurbishment, the San Angel Inn Restaurante and La Cava de Tequila, located inside the Mexico pavilion, and the Taqueria Del Lago, located alongside the promenade, will still be open for Mexican dining.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

The Backlot Tour at Disney's Hollywood Studios is closed now through March 27, 2010.

There are three small white tents set up for the stops. Disney's Hollywood Studios and the water park bus stops are now to the left as you exit the main resort entrance. This resurfacing is scheduled to be completed in April.

The Breathless II boat will be unavailable until further notice due to unforeseen maintenance issues. If you have an existing reservation you will be contacted to reschedule if possible.
