                                                                               Walt Disney World - Pirates To Invade Caribbean Beach?

Hot on the heels of the announcement that several of the Disney Resorts are to undergo a substantial refurbishment programme (beginning this summer), there have been unconfirmed claims that one resort in particular, Disney’s Caribbean Beach is to get some radical new themeing. The suggestion is that around 900 of the rooms will be decked out in Pirate of the Caribbean décor, whist the remaining 300 or so rooms will have a kid-friendly ‘Finding Nemo’ theme.Given that the Caribbean Resort’s main pool area will open soon with a Totuga-esque fort as its centrepiece, it sounds feasible that this may actually happen, and that Disney Imagineering just might be looking to re-brand the resort in its entirety.Disneyland Paris -When Two Become One

Cost cutting measure, practical solution or environmentally sound decision? Whatever the reason, guests visiting either of the two Paris parks will discover new park maps which feature both parks on the same handout.

The pocket-sized guides of old have been replaced with a new fold-out leaflet style map, with one half dedicated to the Disneyland park and the other, the Walt Disney Studio’s.

As far as content goes, the maps are much the same as before, with listings of attractions, dining and shopping venues and of course, the 2-D layout of the parks themselves.

Will the idea catch on at some of the other Disney parks around the globe? Perhaps, although a Walt Disney World version, with its 4-parks-in-one would probably require a crash course in origami to fold and unfold!
