I asked Kate, our GPT-4 powered Virtual Plaid, to search the web and compile as many upcoming events AND refurbishment dates as possible and put them in an easy-to-read format for you. I think she did a great job (let me know if you find any errors)! We created a table listing upcoming events for both Disneyland and Disney World, including information about refurbishments—all in a single view!
