The new projects will add “to a not-so-hidden Mickey shaped solar array” near Epcot, which is already twice the size of the Magic Kingdom, according to theOrlando Sentinel.
Of course, those aren’t the only new plans in the work.
There are also new solar canopies being installed at Disneyland Paris that will provide shelter for 9,500 guest vehicles, as well as a solar facility that will provide about 70% of the power used on Disney Cruise Line’s private island Castaway Cay in The Bahamas. Two “colossal solar facilities” are also being installed elsewhere in central Florida, Penning shared.“To put all of this into perspective our Disney Parks, Experiences and Products solar portfolio around the world can produce enough energy to power eight Magic Kingdom Parks at Walt Disney World Resort,” he added.

In honor of Earth Day, Disney also announced that starting now, their classic dolls will now come inplastic-free packaging, which is made out of “sustainably sourced paper that is 100% recyclable.”
The new packaging is currently available onDisney’s website, Walt Disney World Resort, and Disney stores in North America. It will soon be available at Disneyland and will reach global locations later this year.
