Summertime is a great time to visit Walt Disney World. The weather is great, the fun is in full swing, and there are new celebrations coming!
That’s right! The Most Magical Place On Earth is getting ready for the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but another classic Disney film has something big to celebrate.
