It’s April, so it’s time to start talking about Halloween.  Lots of events and new treats to talk about as Disney celebrates Halfway to Halloween.  Plus a new restaurant opens, a new show gets closer, and we have some news from outside the Disney universe.  And a special announcement from our friend Travis Detrick.  All this and more on Episode 87 of the Mickeyphile Podcast. 

1.Disney will be celebrating Halfway to Halloween this week, culminating on April 28 with a TikTok live from all the parks.  They are encouraging people to Halloween “Bound” in the Parks on this day.  Wednesday April 27 at 8pm Eastern they will be doing a Twitter watch party of a Disney Plus movie (apparently Hocus Pocus - shocker!).  There will be special treats available in the parks to celebrate.
 

1. During the dates of April 28, 2022 – May 8, 2022 only holes #1 - #9 will be available for play, and beginning on May 9, 2022 Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course will be closed indefinitely for a major renovation project. We recommend that you play at either Disney’s Palm or Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course during this timeframe as we prepare Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course for your future enjoyment! We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the temporary closure of this golf course, and look forward to welcoming you back to the newly re-imagined Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course later this year.  https://www.golfwdw.com/courses/disneys-magnolia-golf-course
