The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts will be hosting a two-weekend sand sculpture celebration at the close of the summer holiday season. The "Sandtastic Weekends" will be held on August 26-28 and September 2-4, which is Labor Weekend. From the hotel's press release:
The event will offer guests a variety of different ways to take part in the action, from watching the masterpieces being created up close to learning the tips and techniques of sand sculpting during a sand sculpting clinic. Those with a competitive side can take part in amateur sculpting contests or try to stump the professionals by giving suggestions for speed sculpting demonstrations, where a piece is created in just 10 minutes.
The fun will extend beyond the sand sculpting, with plenty of indoor and outdoor food selections featuring creations from the resort’s award-winning food and beverage team, including the resort’s own Phins and Feathers craft beer; games on the beach like corn hole and table tennis; a DJ; and to close the day, a campfire and s’mores.

The Tokyo Disney Resort is kicking off its summer season with a 360-degree "virtual reality" flight through the parks. Here's a look at "Flying Summer Magic!" (Chrome browser works best for this on a laptop or desktop computer.)
The effect is way more impressive if you access go to tdrfun.jp/summer on your iPhone or Android and play the demonstration on your phone's screen. Sure, the instructions are in Japanese, but it's pretty intuitive, and if two-year-olds who can't yet read English can figure out an iPad, you probably can figure out how to use this.
