This week at Walt Disney World: Things are still breaking down and the coronavirus is causing concerns around the property. Let’s look at the news around the World for the second week of March.
Cinderella, Cinderella: The Magic Kingdom’s iconic castle is just starting to get a touch of royal blue to the turrets. There are numerous cranes sprucing up the castle. All the work should be completed by the summer.
More Breakdowns: As you know, The Haunted Mansion was down for the majority of last week. It was up and running, but someone left the maintenance bay door open with the lights on. Guests were treated to an unexpected look at the Mansion.
Not To Be Left Out: The PeopleMover closed early on Monday, and it has been closed for the whole week. Cast Members aren’t saying when the attraction will reopen.
Calling All Choco-a-holics: The Riviera Resort and The Ganachery are teaming up to offer chocolate tasting classes. You can learn how to make ganache, along with an opportunity to make your very own chocolate truffle pops. Classes will take place on Sundays at 11 AM, and they will cost $60 per person.
