Disney PhotoPass Service x Snap: Announcing New PhotoPass Snapchat Lenses and Can’t-Miss Surprises for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary

That castle option is kinda' neat! I just tried out the current lenses and they are very cute (if a tad bit creepy because if you look at Mickey or Minnie they look back at you ). I'll be interested to see how well these integrate with the clunky MDE app.

Ride Share Relocated, New Minnie Van Signs Installed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

“Now, ride share, taxi, and Minnie Van has been relocated to the furthest bus loop. This change will be significant – especially for ride share users who used to utilize the main parking plaza. As a reminder, the Minnie Van service is currently suspended, but it will use this space when it resumes operation.”

That's awesome! I liked the minnie vans, especially when we had 2 kids of car seat age. Fantastic for going resort to resort or after Happily Ever After!

So this would where the buses drop you off?

I don't even know where the main parking lot is...

New Morocco Pavilion Theming Continues Disney’s Pitch Perfect Takeover at EPCOT

There should be an exotic spice market in Morocco.

There’s never been a better time to add it. EP has control, pandemic has increased interest in cooking and cultural recipes, there’s a huge mark-up on this physically small product, and it makes a great souvenir. Historically Morocco was in between all the spice trade roots, so a shop does not need to be limited just to the magnificent spice blends of that area, they could include all the interesting spices and blends worldwide.
There is a Tea & Spice shop in DS but I’d still prefer this version and location.

So Lyft will be able to drop off in the same spot as Minnie Vans? That's a big change, especially if it holds true at the other parks.

I wondered about that, too. Will MV still drop at bus area in MK? I would hope so due to the higher cost than other ride share services. I do hope it comes back, but it would need to provide some advantage for people to use it instead of Uber/Lyft.
