May the 4th be with you! Hopefully your month is off to a good start, and with it I’ll bring you some of the latest Disney news. April seemed to fly by for me (mostly because I spent 3 weeks of it sick), although I did sneak in a trip to Disney there. Which included a medical issue that required a doctor coming to my room at Animal Kingdom Lodge – so I can tell you now that Disney has really great options if you ever need medical attention during a trip! I’m planning to write a blog post all about that soon. And hopefully May will be a much more magical month!

Disney Rumors

Disney World // There has been a rumor floating around that Disney is considering moving their Florida theme park to Georgia in light of the lawsuits with the Florida government. Let me put this one to rest – there seems to be no real basis to this claim, and it apparently originated from a work of satire that was written.

Magic Kingdom // Another one that doesn’t seem to be based in any credible source but seems like an interesting idea… I’ve read a rumor that Disney World might change the themeing of Frontierland into New Orleans Square once Tiana’s Bayou opens. I’ll be curious to see if they do anything, since that area IS going to be a bit all over the place in terms of theme soon.
