Disney’s Hollywood Studios
PizzeRizzo, the replacement for Pizza Planet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, opened on
November 18th. Located in Muppets Courtyard, be sure to visit the banquet hall on the
second floor for a fun wedding reception theme, including a disco ball! The menu includes
pizza, subs, salads, and mouthwatering Italian desserts such as Cannoli and Tiramisu.
A Moana meet and greet has been added at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. A portion of Walt
Disney: One Man’s Dream has been converted to a beautifully themed tropical paradise. Be
sure to see Moana before your next visit. Also, check out our November issue of WDW
Magazine for an exclusive interview with the editor of Moana!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Rivers of Light is expected to open soon at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The last week of
November has been announced for Cast Member previews; which means a public opening
should be in the not-to-distant future. We will definitely have video and more information
as it becomes available. Be sure to visit us on Facebook to keep up-to-date!
