Hooray all my parent friends!!! All is not lost! If you and your children were a huge fan of Simba‘s Playhouse, Lilo’s Playhouse, and then the new Pixar Play Zone, don’t be too distressed by them closing because it’s being replaced !! I’m sad that the new childcare experience is more expensive and the hours are cut shorter, but at least Disney is keeping them around!! Woohoo!
Note the location is, however, moving to the Beach Club. I’m so excited for this and I can’t wait to book it for my sons birthday. So y’all at least save me two spots on May 29!
