Soarin' Refurbishment Scheduled for 2016

In March Disney officially announced massive updates for Soarin', the simulator ride that thrills guests as they virutally glide over California scenery. 

                                       

The refurbishment, slated to begin January 4, 2016, will expand the ride from two theaters to three, install digital screens and projection systems, and will update its content to include "far-flung lands" according to the official Disney Parks blog. 

The attraction will re-open, with its new name "Soarin' Around the World", in the summer of 2016.*

*Schedules are subject to change. Check back with Disney Devoted, along with your Snapshot Getaways agent, for the latest information. 

New Resort Option for Families of 5

One of my favorite resorts is getting a much needed facelift in it's rooms.  Caribbean Beach was the only moderate resort without Queen sized beds.  Currently Disney is in the process of changing out those full size beds for two queens and should have them all finished by early Spring 2015.  Note, the Pirate Themed Rooms will remain as is. 

Even better, some rooms will have a pull out bed, similar to this one at Port Orleans Riverside.  This gives families of 5, (with one being a little one) a new moderate option besides two rooms or Port Orleans Riverside.
