Disney Magic Returning

“The Magic is calling” at Walt Disney World! Each week it appears that more and more signs point to the return of “normal” in the Disney Parks.

This week a HUGE milestone was met on our pathway to “normal” when Disney announced that non-distanced character meet and greets will return.  This was one of the biggest “reopenings” that many Disney Guests looked forward to.

The returns of the Festival of Fantasy parade and Castle Stage Shows are another great sign that the magic is truly alive in the Disney Parks.

In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Guests were delighted for the return of both Kevin and DiVine. Last week we shared a rumor that more characters will return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Today Disney Parks confirmed our previous rumor. Mickey and Minnie Mouse are returning to Adventurers Outpost in Animal Kingdom. This is right past Flame Tree and It’s Tough to be a Bug on the way to Asia.
