Things are starting to ramp up in the world of Disney news, too, with some pretty big stories you might have missed this week. But don’t worry because we’ve got you covered.

Here are the biggest Disney news stories you might have missed this week!

H20 Nights Return To Typhoon Lagoon

We’re starting to see a lot of entertainment and special ticketed events returning to Disney Parks. Now, Disney has announced the return of H20 Glow Nights at Typhoon Lagoon. This event is a special after-hours party that offers shorter wait times for waterslides and a DJ dance party with Rex from Toy Story.

Guests will also get special meet and greets with characters, as well as get to see Typhoon Lagoon with special nighttime lighting. Disney has not yet announced specific dates for the parties, though.

Spirit of Aloha Permanently Closes

After Disney World’s reopening, many shows and entertainment options still have not returned to the parks. Disney recently confirmed that one of its pre-closure shows, Spirit of Aloha, would permanently close. The show, which was at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, was a luau with all-you-can-eat food and traditional Hawaiian entertainment.

Disney has big plans for the Polynesian in the future, including building new Disney Vacation Club villas, as well as new activities and dining options. Disney has said it will “honor” Spirit of Aloha but has not confirmed if a new dinner show might replace it.

Victoria & Albert’s Will Reopen This Year

Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has also been closed since Disney World reopened, and Disney has been mum with updates on the signature dining restaurant. However, Disney recently confirmed that Victoria & Albert’s will reopen sometime this year.

Although there is no reopening timeline as of yet, we’re hoping guests will be able to visit the fine dining establishment again soon.

Disneyland To Make Changes to New Orleans Square

Disneyland has plans to make big changes to New Orleans Square while Pirates of the Caribbean is under refurbishment. The idea is to change up the queue of the attraction so that less of it spills out into New Orleans Square itself.

This comes ahead of the reopening of Fantasmic! which generally keeps the area crowded (the show in Disneyland does not have seating like the version of the show in Disney World). The update should help with traffic flow in the area in time for the show’s reopening on May 28th.

Ms. Marvel Gets A Trailer and Release Date

We now have more details about another new Marvel series headed to Disney+. Ms. Marvel, based on the Marvel Comics series of the same name, has a new trailer that shows a lot more about the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new superhero, Kamala Khan.

Even better, though, is that Disney also announced when the show would premiere on Disney+. Ms. Marvel’s first episode arrives on the streaming subscription service on June 8th.
