Narcoossee's is about to Get a Much-Needed Refurbishment this Summer

Will the Narcoossee's makeover result in a new themed dining experience at the Grand Floridian?

With prime Disney real estate right on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will be unavailable starting June 18, 2022 as the restaurant undergoes refurbishment. Disney says they expect the location will re-open later in 2022 with an enhanced dining experience. While we don't have any more information than that, our hope is that the updates will once again return this past favorite into a must-do dining location once again.
 
Disneyland Forever Fireworks Return to Disneyland Park on April 22

Disneyland Resort is getting ready to “ignite the night” with the return of three popular nighttime shows.

It's all happening on April 22, 2022 (which happens to be Earth Day), when World of Color at Disney California Adventure Park and Main Street Electrical Parade and Disneyland Forever at Disneyland Park will make their long-awaited returns.

Disneyland Forever originally debuted in 2015 for the 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration and now promises a few new surprises for its "street to sky" return.

As we mentioned in past news reports, when Disneyland Forever returns on April 22, it will run weekends only (Friday through Sunday). During the week Mickey’s Mix Magic will offer a projections-only show from Monday through Thursday until late spring (no specific date has been announced). At that time, Disneyland Forever” fireworks will then run nightly in the summer.
