It’s been another eventful week in the World of Disney news! Race schedules were announced, ambassadors were named, and a new character meet-and-greet is headed to the Disney Parks.
Walt Disney World News
If you’re planning on attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party this year, you can now add on a one-day Memory Maker just for the party pictures! This special event Memory Maker is $39 and will include all the photos from MNSSHP and other pictures from your Disney day.
runDisney announced its 2015-2016 race schedule and while it includes many familiar races, one is missing – there is no Twilight Zone Tower of Terror mentioned in the schedule. The speculation is the race isn’t on the schedule due to construction that will be on-going at Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year.
