Construction on the new Indiana Jones attraction at Animal Kingdom is making visible progress, with aerial photos showing steel framework for the Maya temple entrance climbing well above the existing building. The story goes that Indy is investigating a perfectly preserved Maya temple rumored to house a mythical creature — and guests tag along. A 2027 opening remains the target, though no specific date has been announced.
Fans of Gideon's Bakehouse will want to keep an eye on Disney Springs, where the upcoming hand pie shop Six Ravens now has its full menu confirmed. All seven Coffyn hand pies are priced at $10.99, each paired with a dipping sauce created in partnership with a Central Florida restaurant — including Pizza Bruno, Smoke & Donuts, and Red Panda Noodle. Craft beers from local breweries round out the menu at $9.66 each. Signage is already up and an opening date should be coming soon.
Annual Passholders got a late-July boost with three additional Good to Go Days added — July 26, 29, and 30 — bringing the monthly total to 11 reservation-free dates. Note that July 27 and 28 are not included, so a reservation (or a post-2 pm arrival on non-Saturday/Sunday days) is still required on those dates.
A few other notes worth flagging: EPCOT's entrance plaza swapped its frost-prone foxtail palms for hardier Sylvester palms flanking Spaceship Earth; Tower of Terror has scaffolding up for exterior maintenance with no impact to the ride; Ale & Compass at Yacht Club Resort refreshed its menu on July 22 with items like Crab Cake Eggs Benedict and a New England Seafood Pot Pie; and four EPCOT After Hours dates remain on the 2026 calendar, ranging from $155 to $159 per person. D23's FANtastic Prizes sweepstakes is also open through August 23 with a Walt Disney World prize package that includes Club Level accommodations, VIP tour access, and a $1,600 gift card.
