Rivers of Light, Stitch’s Great Escape and Primeval Whirl will not return


Written by James Williams

Answers.... that's what every Disney fan in the world has been looking for.  Well more news has been confirmed by Disney and some people are not okay it. 

We have learned that Primeval Whirl and Rivers of Light will not be returning at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom.  Primeval Whirl has been a seasonal attraction over the last year or so and this has lead many Disney fans wondering "why now?" A lot of guests enjoyed Primeval Whirl and was sad to see it moved to seasonal, but now it has closed forever.  Rivers of Light was just redone not too long ago.  While the original was not a fan favorite, the new show seemed to really be catching guest attention.  During the phased reopening, we knew that shows like this would not be available for a bit but now we have been told that it will not return.  

Also, over at Magic Kingdom, we have news that Stitch's Great Escape will also remain closed.  While this is much of a shock to most Disney fans, since it has been closed for quite some time now and used as a meet and greet location during some park days and parties, they are still wanting Stitch to be part of the park in some form.  Let's be honest, Stitch is a fan favorite and something will have to be done to keep him alive in the parks!

Walt Disney World has not released any explanation of these closures or what, if anything, will replace them.

Rise of the Resistance

  Written by: James Williams As we continue to get used to our "current normal", as I like to call it, at Walt Disney World there are still some questions about Rise of the Resistance.  Rise of the Resistance(RotR) is found at Disney's Hollywood Studio's in Galaxy's Edge.  If you have not experienced the virtual queue, or boarding pass, for RotR then this is a must read! Boarding Passes are not automatically given, you must be in the park in order to get your pass.  The first thing you need to make sure to have is the My Disney Experience(MDE) app on your phone.    This is the only way to secure a Boarding Pass.  Disney's Hollywood Studios is currently opening at 10:00 am, so you will want to make sure you are in the park before this time!  Everyone in your party must have already scanned their ticket and entered the park, this is a very important thing to remember as MDE will not let you select family/friends linked to your account without them i...
