Disney Parks Blog Recap

This week, we announced some new entertainment and experiences for Disney Wonder guests after the ship is transformed this fall.

As Jonathan told us, headlining the enhancements are imaginative spaces for children, a jazzy restaurant and an English pub. Check our original story for a complete look at what's to come after the Disney Wonder undergoes dry dock September 9 to October 23, 2016, in Cadiz, Spain.

And this week we were back at Disney's Animal Kingdom with a new "All in the Details" story from Tiffins and an updated gallery of images from "The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic," the new musical inspired by the blockbuster live-action film "The Jungle Book."

We also shared two new Disney's Animal Kingdom "nighttime"-inspired wallpapers created especially for Disney Parks Blog readers.
