Happy April! This is always one of my favorite months of the year – here in Pennsylvania it’s finally starting to get warmer and the weather is so nice, work is just slightly less crazy than usual, and it’s also my birthday (just so you know). If you find yourself in Disney this month there are great things happening on both coasts, too! From Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot to Food and Wine at California Adventure, spring is one of my favorite times of year to visit.

Disney Rumors

Disneyland // Although Splash Mountain closed at Disney World in February, it’s still currently operating at Disneyland. A rumor is saying the closing date will be May 6th (based on a report from the Orange County Register), but Disney has not confirmed that.

Disney World // With that “$17 billion investment” potentially coming over the next decade to Disney World, there’s lots of speculation on what that money might go towards. While some people are guessing this could mean a 5th gate, others believe it’s more likely Disney will invest in overhauls or expansions of the existing parks (like Zootopia or Moana coming to Animal Kingdom, or the potential Coco/Encanto/Villains lands of Magic Kingdom which have been discussed).
