CONFIRMED: 2-Hour Nightly Extra Magic Hours Coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom This Summer for AVATAR

Last week, we told you that it was rumored that Disney’s Animal Kingdom would offer nightly Extra Magic Hours to resort guests so that they could more fully enjoy Pandora: The World of AVATAR once it opened. Today, the Swan and Dolphin resorts are confirming our suspicions…

 width=

With Animal Kingdom park hours locked at an 11pm closing time during these early Summer months, the Extra Magic Hours will take place night from 11pm until 1AM until July 4th, 2017. This benefit will only be available to Walt Disney World Resort guests, and the Swan and Dolphin hotels fall within that category despite being operated by another company.

FastPass+ Reservations Open Tomorrow for Pandora: The World of AVATAR

FastPass+ reservations for the two attractions in Pandora: The World of AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will become available for booking tomorrow, March 24th.

 width=

The Na’vi River Journey and Flight of Passage will be separated in the FastPass+ reservation system so guests can not book both initially. Once guests use all their FastPasses for the day, they can book more, but chances are that the availability for these two rides will be slim-to-none the day-of.

Meet Stella Lou: Duffy’s Brand New Friend

 width=

Recently, the Oriental Land Company has let us meet one of Duffy’s new friends, Stella Lou. She is a fun-loving purple bunny who has a passion for dancing, and big dreams of performing on Broadway.

She would practice her dancing every day on the American Waterfront, and once Duffy met Stella Lou, he decided that he wanted to support his friend, to help make her dreams come true.

Most of her adorable merchandise will be available on March 30th, 2017.

Many fun Stella Lou decorations will be going up soon, along with a photo opportunity spot for your very own plush Stella Lou! This photo spot will be located in the American Waterfront,  with the S.S. Columbia docked, and the Hightower Hotel standing tall in the background.

She will start greeting guests with Mickey and Duffy by her side, just in time for Disney’s Easter at Tokyo Disney Sea, on April 4th, 2017 which is quite fitting since Stella Lou herself is, in fact, a bunny. This is only going on for a limited time and is said to be ending on August 31st, 2017.
