Disney World Disney announced four spring 2027 offers this morning without naming a hotel or publishing a rate. All four offer pages are now live and each carries a resort by resort table. The headline numbers belong to the top group of hotels in the later of two date windows, and the package offer runs from $250 a night down to $40.
Disney World Disney posted every 2027 Disney After Hours date this morning and named no ticket price in the announcement. The prices are on DisneyWorld.com: Magic Kingdom $189 to $209, Hollywood Studios $159 to $199, EPCOT $159 to $189, all plus tax. EPCOT gets no March night at all.
Disney World Disney posted 2027 dates for both EPCOT spring festivals and opened booking on four vacation offers. Festival of the Arts runs January 15 to March 1, seven days longer than this year. Flower and Garden runs March 10 to May 31, seven days shorter. Every room discount announced today stops April 29.
Legoland Florida The Festival page was rewritten Tuesday, from a live event reading Now to August 16 into a past tense wrap up headed Coming in 2027, with an email signup where the event pitch used to be. The event had dropped off the seasonal calendar entirely in August. Its neighbor in the 2027 block, LEGO NINJAGO Weekends, has been sitting at Early 2027 since at least March.
Disney World The 2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional dining package prices are out, and both Japan pavilion restaurants on the list got cheaper while almost everything else rose. Teppan Edo falls $21 and Shiki-Sai falls $14. Tutto Italia jumps $8, Le Cellier takes over the top spot at $109, and Akershus Royal Banquet Hall is back on the list after sitting out 2025. Booking opens October 14.
Universal Orlando Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference on Wednesday, Comcast CFO Jason Armstrong said the Orlando softness Comcast flagged in July is still going. His new explanation goes beyond gas prices: he says there was a pull-forward of demand into Epic Universe's opening year, and that the resort is now comping against it.
Legoland Florida Legoland Florida added a six-question FAQ to its Passholder Hotel Savings page on Wednesday, covering the Premium Annual Pass room upgrade. The answers: not guaranteed, first come first served, decided at the front desk, and impossible to lock in before you arrive. The same page still names a pass tier Legoland stopped selling on August 31.
SeaWorld Orlando Florida certified K-12 teachers can get unlimited SeaWorld Orlando admission through September 2, 2027 for nothing. The optional Aquatica Orlando add on is now $49.99, the second straight year it has risen by exactly one dollar, and guest tickets have jumped from $34.99 in 2023 to $38.99.
Disney World WDW News Today published photos and video of the full Olaf Draws! show ahead of the September 14 opening, and the Genie drawing class plays clips from Back to Neverland, the 1989 pre-show film starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite. Eric Goldberg teaches that class, and he uses the footage to explain where Genie's vacation look came from.
Legoland Florida Coast Guard Academy and Merlin's Challenge are both listed closed October 5 to 24, picking up the same day Kid Power Towers reopens. That is eight Brick or Treat nights each, and it leaves only five of the event's 18 nights with all four of the dated closures clear.
Universal Orlando The summer version wanted seven nights, capped at 35 percent and left out Cabana Bay, Aventura, Stella Nova and Terra Luna entirely. The version whose travel window opens today asks for five nights, covers all eleven hotels, and hands those same four the deepest cut at 30 percent. Portofino Bay, Royal Pacific and Hard Rock get 15.
Disney World Three and a half years after Reedy Creek became the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, the fire department's building finally caught up. The RC is gone from the side of the station, leaving just FD, the RCFD letters on the front have been removed entirely, and the sign out front now carries the district's name and tree logo.
Legoland Florida Three September dates have appeared on Legoland Florida’s Guest Experience Promise list: Friday the 4th, Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th. The 5th was Brick or Treat’s opening night and the 7th was Labor Day. Sunday the 6th, also a Brick or Treat night, is not on it yet. Anyone who was in the park on a listed day on a regular ticket can bring that ticket back to Guest Services for another visit within a year.
Universal Orlando Universal announced the dates and the full lineup on the same day. Rock the Universe returns to Universal Studios Florida on Friday, January 22 and Saturday, January 23, 2027, with nine artists a night and eighteen across the weekend. Elevation Worship leads the Friday lineup, Josiah Queen leads Saturday, and tickets go on sale Tuesday, September 15.
Disney World Disney has set September 24 as the booking date for Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses, the after-dark walk through the working greenhouses in The Land. The one hour tour runs nightly from November 27 to December 30 at 6, 7 and 8 p.m., and WDWMagic reports the price is holding at $59, the same as last year.
Disney World Disney moved all three nightly showtimes 15 minutes earlier for the second time in three years, to 4:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. The 2026 narrator lineup runs Nov. 27 through Dec. 30 with Auli'i Cravalho opening and Eva Longoria closing, and two December blocks are still listed as to be announced. Dining packages open October 14.
Legoland Florida The Brick or Treat Street badge is handed out only at Brick or Treat Street and the Lord Vampyre badge only at DUPLO Valley, one per person while supplies last. The section went up on the park page after August 19. The official event guide and Legoland's own Pop Badge page both leave it out.
SeaWorld Orlando The offer runs September 8 to 13 at kiosks and through the Pass Member portal. The blog copy says any eligible night before September 26. The fine print then says the ticket is valid during the offer period only, a window holding two event nights, and closes by saying you must visit by September 26, which is six. SeaWorld's retail Any Night Ticket costs $64.99 and carries no date at all.
Universal Orlando The City of Orlando file for project P830, the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift site at Universal Studios Florida, now runs to 51 permit records and $95,327,504 in declared construction value. A $3.5 million permit was issued on September 3. A $221,000 sign package filed August 25 is still in review.
Disney World Walt Disney World added September 8 and 10 as Good to Go Days on Monday morning, one of them for the very next day. Set against the full 2026 list, the distribution is lopsided: July, the heart of peak summer, got 11 reservation free days, more than any other month. May got zero.
Legoland Florida Spider Lady's Castle is the house on Legoland Florida's new Brick or Treat Street built around reaching into openings in the castle door, and the park says the house is built around three tactile effects: an air blast, a tickler and a furry surprise. The castle's page also puts a walk time on the whole street: 7 to 10 minutes for all six houses.
SeaWorld Orlando Ask SeaWorld's Howl-O-Scream page when the event runs and the FAQ says September 5 to November 1, 2025. The body copy further up the same page says September 11 through October 31, and the park's own calendar graphics mark 26 nights starting Friday. The same FAQ also contradicts the ticket copy on the gate time, describes the event entrance differently, and disagrees with the event's own attractions page about which rides run.
Universal Orlando Two applications landed at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on August 31: THE SHIRE and its Spanish counterpart LA COMARCA, each covering exactly one service, providing theme park services. The 2015 and 2019 THE SHIRE applications both cleared examination and were then abandoned without a park. Neither new filing names Universal, Orlando or Florida.
Disney World WDW News Today says the Irish dancer and flamenco dancer dolls have been missing for an extended period. On a visit reported Saturday, September 5, its team also found the white facade peeling away at the waterline, burnt out bulbs on an arch, and a wrinkled scrim still attached in the queue. It is the outlet's second condition report on the ride in under a month.
Disney World The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is back on its main patio at Disney's Hollywood Studios after a refurbishment that began on June 29. The umbrellas are gone, replaced by a large awning with hanging lanterns and ceiling fans, and one table was left out in the open on purpose.
Universal Orlando Universal Orlando is adding four limited-time NFL items at NBC Sports Grill & Brew in CityWalk plus a September 9 kickoff party, but it published no prices and no end date.
Legoland Florida Legoland Florida says its new brick-built entrance portal opens on Labor Day, meaning today. The park put the specs on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram on September 3: 26 feet tall, 50 feet wide, fully backlit, and 13 custom brick-built models and LEGO Minifigures. Its own website still does not mention it.
Disney World Walt Disney World has fitted a mobile trash can with a cork pin board and given it its own oversized Cast Member nametag reading Pinley. WDW News Today met it on Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and because it rolls, it can turn up at various spots in the parks. One catch for anyone hoping for a reunion with Push: Pinley does not talk.
SeaWorld Orlando Two free beers, claimed as a 7 ounce draft at the Waterway Grill Patio between noon and one hour before park closing. It is the only offer on SeaWorld's September pass member page that names a start date and then leaves the other end open.
Disney World Guests reported reservations canceled with no reason given. Disney's dining data has the restaurant closed only Sunday, September 6, and back to 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday. Every other place to eat at the Contemporary is open today, including the Steakhouse 71 Lounge.
