Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap

This week, we continued sharing some great summertime experiences at Disney Parks, including details on our newest "must-see" show at the Walt Disney World Resort – "Disney Movie Magic. "

Each night this summer at Disney's Hollywood Studios, "Disney Movie Magic" is transforming the iconic Grauman's Chinese Theatre at Disney's Hollywood Studios with special lighting and state-of-the-art projection mapping technology to put you right in the middle of a celebration of Disney films.

The show is being presented nightly at Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer, in addition to regular performances of "Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular." Check our original story for details.

We also looked ahead this week and shared an update that reservations open July 11 for three ways to ring in the New Year at Disney's Contemporary Resort, part of the Enchanting Extras Collection, which gives guests "can't-miss" experiences that enhance the Walt Disney World experience.

Check out Pam's original post to learn more about all three celebrations.
