We bring you a lot of stories every single day. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up. So in case you missed anything from our feed, we have rounded up all our stories in one place to get the news at a glance. Here is your Daily Recap for Sunday, January 24, 2021.

Walt Disney World

Magic Kingdom

• A few days ago, Rivers of America at Magic Kingdom began to be refilled following a refurbishment of the Liberty Square Riverboat track and now the river is almost completely back to its former glory
• We had beautiful weather for a park day, which was especially nice since it’s been a bit chilly recently, so encouraged by the warmer temperature, we decided to check out the Magic Kingdom and then park hop to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out what might be new in each park and bring you this photo report
• Beginning February 1, weekday Magic Kingdom guests will have one less quick lunch option as The Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland will no longer be open weekdays

EPCOT

• In a series of tweets, legendary actor Eric Idle revealed that he’s never visited Journey Into Imagination with Figment at EPCOT, in which he stars as Dr. Nigel Channing, and seems to have forgotten much of his experience working on the attraction
• Just the other day we noticed that paneling had been removed from Innoventions West at EPCOT, and during yesterday’s visit, we saw that even more exterior features have been removed

Tokyo Disney Resort

• Last year, Tokyo Disney Resort began its five-year effort to replace its Disney Resort Line monorail fleet with a new “Type C” fleet, with the first to enter service being Monorail Yellow on July 3rd, now followed by Monorail Pink on January 23rd
