Disney Parks Podcast Show #927- Disney New For The Week Of May 11, 2026: Disney Springs Sizzles & BoardWalk Buzz!

👉 In today’s episode, we break down the latest announcements shaking up Disney, Pixar, and Marvel—from brand-new movie details to major re-releases and streaming updates.

🎙️✨ This week on the Disney Parks Podcast, we’re diving into a HUGE wave of Disney news — and Disney Springs is basically turning into an entire summer vacation by itself. We break down everything new coming to Disney Springs including the massive new Level99 interactive gaming experience, Gideon’s Bakehouse launching the darkly delicious new Six Ravens food concept, new Disney+ themed dance parties, and even more shopping, snacks, and entertainment on the way. Your wallet may want to sit this episode out. 😅

We also talk about Disney’s growing AI plans and how the company wants artificial intelligence woven into nearly everything — from vacation planning and Disney+ recommendations to theme park operations and staffing. Mickey Mouse is entering his “smart home ecosystem” era.

Over at Disney’s BoardWalk, new permit filings hint at mysterious new projects possibly replacing former locations like Big River Grille and the Promenade Fine Art Gallery. Could a champagne bar be coming? A luxury bath shop? Disney fans are already in full detective mode.

Plus, we discuss the brand-new Magic Kingdom ferry boat arriving in 2027 — the first new ferry added in decades — and how Disney is preparing transportation upgrades ahead of massive Frontierland and Villains Land expansions.

We also say goodbye to a longtime Magic Kingdom tradition as Disney officially retires the “Let the Magic Begin” castle welcome show, and we share details on the colorful new Bluey-inspired Fairy Bread Cake coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

And finally, Jon Favreau confirms the return of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in a brand-new Disney+ series featuring beautiful hand-drawn animation from the studio behind Klaus. Vintage Disney fans, this one’s for you.
