Walt Disney World has released an instructional video explaining how to use its newer solar-powered trash cans, a move prompted by guest confusion as the bins become more common around the resort. The self-contained units operate differently enough from a standard trash can that Disney felt a tutorial was warranted.
Elsewhere at the resort, EPCOT's Test Track has quietly restored a feature that had been out of service for over a year: the sliding doors that open onto the attraction's high-speed outdoor section are working again, following a previously reported incident that took them offline.
On the entertainment side, actress Lacey Chabert appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark to discuss her role in Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, an upcoming Hallmark Christmas film set at Walt Disney World. The project adds to a growing list of productions using the resort as a backdrop.
The July 30 recap also noted that another October date for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 has sold out, and that Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion facade is showing updated details. Construction and development activity continues at Disney Lakeshore Lodge as well.
