Good Morning All!

Many people who only visit WDW think that Disneyland is equivalent to Magic Kingdom, which is why they think 4 parks vs 2 parks is a big thing. It's not.

Disneyland has 39 rides, Magic Kingdom only 23. Disneyland includes things from all different parks inside WDW. Disneyland has things like Fantasmic, Innoventions, and Star Tours - which are elsewhere in WDW.

When I visit Disneyland, then go to the Magic Kingdom - it seems like 'that's it??' it has so much less compared to Disneyland. Which is completely why Genie+ works better at Disneyland - more rides to choose from.

Construction Work to Impact Select Areas of Kidani Village at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge​

To ensure the resort is maintained to the highest quality standards, Disney will be conducting construction work on select buildings and structures at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village. Guests will be able to see and hear construction work around the resort during daytime hours.

The Survival of the Fittest Fitness Center, The Barbeque Pavilion, and the Disney Transportation bus stop area will be under construction, but they will remain open throughout the duration of the construction. Lobby overlook areas will be temporarily closed for construction later this summer, with only one overlook area closed at a time.

Construction work is expected to continue through early October 2022.

Anyone know what’s happening with guardians may 22 to 26 before it opens officially?

They have held special VIP tours and media tours in the days before opening day for other major rides. I assume that they will do this again.

RUMOR:

Tarzan’s Treehouse Being Rethemed, Possibly to ‘Encanto’ at Disneyland Park​

Tarzan’s Treehouse at Disneyland, which has been closed and under construction since September of last year, is being rethemed, Orange County Register reports.

The treehouse attraction will have a new theme and backstory when it eventually does reopen. Details of the theme remain under wraps. Rumors indicate it may be “Encanto.”

Demolition of the current entrance will begin today, April 18.

I am all for a retheme, but Encanto is a stretch unless they are talking about a major demolition and overhaul. If it's still a "Treehouse" then it's not going to fit.

Antonio’s Room would be a decent fit.
