We hope you had a very Merry Christmas! It was a rather slow week in Disney news, but there were a few standout items. So without further ado, let’s just right in!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened a little more than a week ago and started shattering box office records right from the start! Just in its opening weekend, The Force Awakens earned an all-time industry high of $248 million at the domestic box office and $281 million internationally for an all-time global record box office debut of $529 million.
Speaking of Star Wars, there is a new set of Star Wars-themed Disney Gift Cards! Guests will find them at the Disney Parks and online.
Guests at Epcot can check out the all-new Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival at the Magic Eye Theater. The films in the festival are: Get a Horse, For The Birds, and La Luna.
Chocolate fans will want to stop by The Ganachery, the all-new chocolate shop located at Disney Springs. And there’s a new bar and snack shop at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks is located near Expedition Everest.
That’s the big news from last week! We’re sure this week will be full of fun and exciting news too. Stay tuned to DisZine for all the Disney news every week. And be sure to follow us on Twitter and like us over on Facebook.
