We always want to make sure you are as prepared as possible for your Disney World trip, and one thing you need to be on the lookout for is possible closures and refurbishments. We don’t want you to be disappointed when you roll up to your favorite ride only to find out it is closed for refurbishment. Magic Kingdom There are TWO big changes to the closures in Disney World this week, and we want to make sure you are aware of them. Plus, we are also rounding up everything else that will be closed this week. Blizzard Beach Typhoon Lagoon officially reopened on May 1st, while Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishment. However, Blizzard Beach will only be closed for a few weeks this time. Disney has been having one water park open at a time seasonally since 2020, but that is changing this year. Blizzard Beach BOTH Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open at the same time from May 21st through September 7th, 2025. That means that soon you will have options of which water park you want to go to. Right now, though, just Typhoon Lagoon is open. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano We are getting close to the closure of this Hollywood Studios restaurant. If you have been wanting to have one last meal here, make sure you stop by on May 10th or before, as the restaurant is officially closing for good on May 11th, 2025. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano The restaurant is closing in Muppets Courtyard to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. themed land. Eventually, the rest of Muppets Courtyard will also close, including Muppet*Vision 3D on June 8th, 2025 (last day to experience the show is June 7th). Keep reading below to see what other attractions and locations will be closed this week, May 3rd through May 10th! Magic Kingdom Playground at Dumbo the Flying Elephant The indoor children’s playground inside the Dumbo the Flying Elephant queue closed for refurbishment on February 24th, 2025. While the playground is closed, the ride is still open and available for kids of all ages to soar through the sky! Dumbo the Flying Elephant The indoor playground is expected to reopen in Spring 2025. Hall of Presidents The Hall of Presidents closed at Magic Kingdom on January 20th. The Hall of Presidents The attraction will be closed until later in 2025, though Disney has not shared a specific date. We will keep an eye out for updates, though! The closure is likely to change the current president, as January 20th marked Inauguration Day. While it is closed, other maintenance and routine work may also be happening. Astro Orbiter If you want to blast off into space, you’ll have to head over to Space Mountain because Astro Orbiter is temporarily closed for refurbishment! Astro Orbiter closed as of January 13th and is planned to reopen in the summer of 2025. No specific date has been announced for the high-in-the-sky ride, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for an update from Disney. Astro Orbiter is currently dismantled! The ride has currently been completely dismantled and is being refurbished elsewhere. It definitely looks a little barren as you are walking into Tomorrowland right now! However, Disney recently filed a permit that could mean the attraction will soon be back in its place in Tomorrowland. 3 Magic Kingdom Restaurants the Experts Refuse to Book Big Thunder Mountain Railroad On January 6th, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad closed for an extended temporary closure. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad The “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” will be closed for at least a year and will reopen sometime in 2026. The ride will be undergoing maintenance while it is closed. When it reopens, it will have some “new magic,” according to Disney. We can’t wait to see what changes will be coming to this ever-popular roller coaster! Tomorrowland Terrace Tomorrowland Terrace is a quick-service restaurant that has been closed since the 2020 pandemic-related closures, but even before that, this spot was only occasionally open. Tomorrowland Terrace Once in a while, you’ll see the dining room open as a rest area (and it’s still being used for the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties), but it’s usually all roped off and empty. Disney hasn’t announced when this spot could finally reopen, but we’ll be watching for updates. If you’re looking for a nice spot to hang out in Disney World and take a rest, this could be it! Tortuga Tavern Just like Tomorrowland Terrace, Tortuga Tavern is also a seasonal restaurant in Magic Kingdom. It has been a bit since we have seen it open. Most recently, it was used as a cookie location for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Tortuga Tavern We had previously spotted shrubs around the restaurant as they worked on the flooring. However, all the shrubs have been taken down now. We don’t know exactly when/if this restaurant will reopen, but we will keep you updated if we learn more! All the New Rides and Attractions Coming to Magic Kingdom in 2025 and Beyond EPCOT Test Track Test Track closed on June 17th, 2024, and Disney is giving this ride a BIG makeover! Disney has shared that the new version of Test Track will take inspiration from the old ride, World of Motion, that was originally there when the park opened in 1982. Test Track Disney shared more details at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Experience, and an updated opening timeline was announced! We’ll be able to ride Test Track once again in late summer 2025. We recently got a look at the new Test Track cars, too. We are getting closer and closer to its reopening! Restaurant Marrakesh Restaurant Marrakesh is currently closed as a dining location in the Morocco pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase, and there’s no word yet on when the restaurant could fully reopen. Restaurant Marrakesh Occasionally, we’ll see it open as a lounge or Kidcot Fun Stop. So, if you’re in the Morocco Pavilion, check it out to see if it’s open. We’re watching for updates on when the full restaurant could reopen! “This is what the stink eye was invented for” — Disney Adults Are TIRED of This Restaurant Trend in EPCOT Animal Kingdom It’s Tough to Be a Bug It’s Tough to Be a Bug is officially closed for good. This attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom invites you to join the bug kingdom on an adventure. While the show didn’t usually make it to the top of favorite attractions in Disney World, it has now officially closed to make way for a new show. It’s Tough to Be a Bug is closed! It’s Tough to Be a Bug closed on March 17th. The show is permanently closed to make way for a brand-new show, “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!”, expected to debut in winter 2025. TriceraTop Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, and Fossil Fun Games The first round of closures began in DinoLand U.S.A. on January 13th, 2025. TriceraTop Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, and Fossil Fun Game were closed down, and construction has begun on the brand-new land themed to the Tropical Americas, Pueblo Esperanza. The walls have been up since the closure, and things have been disappearing from behind the walls. Almost everything has been taken down behind the walls, including the large green dinosaur. DinoLand Construction It is definitely a sad sight, but we are also excited to see Pueblo Esperanza! DINOSAUR, Restaurantosaurus, the snack stands, and The Boneyard remain open. Disney hasn’t announced an official closing date for the rest of DinoLand. However, they have announced that “2025 is your year to visit before it goes extinct!” These Disney Adult Animal Kingdom Hacks Are Getting Out of Control Disney’s Hollywood Studios Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy The Cars-themed show featuring Lightning McQueen permanently closed on October 8th, 2024, to make way for a brand-new Villains show. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy The Cars show was previously housed in the Sunset Showcase building, but the last day for guests to enjoy it was October 7th. The new Villains show officially has an opening date! The show will debut on May 27th, 2025. We also recently saw that they have begun to dismantle the outdoor exhibits from Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. Voyage of the Little Mermaid As well, Voyage of the Little Mermaid is currently closed in Disney World. A bit ago, we saw that the iconic Voyage of the Little Mermaid marquee has been removed! So far, it is still missing, but we are curious what, if anything, will take its place. Voyage of the Little Mermaid Disney is going to introduce a new, updated show in this spot, though it will still be themed to the animated movie The Little Mermaid! The new show will be called “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure,” and will be debuting on May 27th, 2025. It will be a “fully reimagined theatrical production inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios classic.” I Go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios Every Week. I ALWAYS Ask for the Back Seat on These Rides Disney Springs Starbucks on the West Side The Starbucks on the West Side of Disney Springs is temporarily closed for refurbishment. It closed on March 3rd, and it is expected to reopen in mid-summer. Starbucks is undergoing refurbishment Have no fear, though — you can still get your Starbucks fix in Disney Springs! Head over to the Disney Springs Marketplace location, which will be open during the refurbishment. Caffeine headaches are not allowed in Disney Springs! REVIEW: Why EVERYONE Should Try This Disney Springs Restaurant At Least Once Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Alright, it is only kind of closing, but we wanted to make sure you were aware! From April 28th until June 16th, 2025, Winter Summerland Miniature Golf will be undergoing refurbishment. However, even though it will be getting refurbished, you can still stop by to play a round of golf. Only ONE course will be open at a time during the refurbishment, so you won’t have your choice of The Summer or The Winter Course; it will just be whichever one is open. Winter Summerland Mini Golf As well, Winter Summerland won’t be taking reservations during this time. If you are looking to play a round, you will just head over to the course as a walk-up. You can also head over to Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf if you are looking for even more mini golf fun. Come With Us to a Limited-Time Event at a Disney World Hotel Disney World Hotels Jellyrolls — Disney’s BoardWalk Jellyrolls at Disney’s BoardWalk is officially closed on April 19th, 2025. This entertainment venue has provided our team with countless memories, and we know many others are also sad to see it close. Jellyrolls had its final farewell performance on April 19th and closed its doors forever on Disney’s BoardWalk. Jellyrolls However, this isn’t the end for Jellyrolls, as the bar has said they are “making a move.” We don’t know many details about that move yet, but we will keep you updated. Stormalong Bay and Hurricane Hanna’s– Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts Stormalong Bay is the shared pool between Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. It features a beach, a lazy river, a large pool, and an exciting pirate ship slide! When we stopped by recently, we noticed that they were hard at work at Stormalong Bay. Stormalong Bay Construction This pool area will be closed for refurbishment until June. While it’s closed, hotel guests can use the Tidal (Beach Club), Admiral (Yacht Club), and Dunes Cove (Beach Club) leisure pools. During the refurbishment, Hurricane Hanna’s, the pool bar at Stormalong Bay, will also be closed. Merchandise Locations — Disney’s BoardWalk The merchandise locations along Disney’s BoardWalk will be closing for refurbishment in phases. The closures will last until May 2025, but two merchandise locations will always be available during the refurbishment. Disney’s BoardWalk The Character Carnival is currently closed. While they are working on the Character Carnival, you can shop at Screen Door General Store and Thimbles & Threads. Why Is This Disney World Hotel Suddenly 10X Cheaper?

If you’re a theme park fan, you know that Universal Orlando’s NEW theme park, Epic Universe, is the biggest news these days. Epic Universe The theme park has been highly anticipated since it was announced in 2019, and many fans are even canceling or shortening their Disney World trips to visit Epic Universe in its first year of operation. With Universal adding a new option on the scene, people are starting to push for a new park from Disney World as well. But as a theme park expert (it’s my job to visit and write about the Central Florida theme parks and their brands), I do NOT want Disney World to introduce a fifth gate right now — for some very important reasons. Let’s start things by acknowledging the differences between Disney World and Universal Orlando. Disney World is already home to four theme parks, two water parks, Disney Springs, and dozens of hotels. Before Epic Universe (and its new hotels), Universal Orlando was home to two parks, one water park, CityWalk, and eight hotels. Universal Studios Florida As someone who looks at financial reports for these two companies as part of my job, Universal is not as close in competition with Disney as you might think. Looking at the theme park segment revenues for the last three months of 2024 (which is fiscal Q4 for Universal and fiscal Q1 for Disney), Universal came in at $2.37 billion (including domestic and international parks), while Disney rolled in a whopping $8.078 billion (including domestic and international parks). Yep, Disney’s theme parks made TRIPLE what Universal’s did during the same time period. Magic Kingdom So when fans assume that the opening of Epic Universe is going to absolutely demolish Disney as a company and wreck them financially…that’s just not true. Universal still has a long way to go to catch up, even if we break things down into domestic park numbers. However, Epic Universe will likely help Universal close that gap somewhat. Portal Entrance to Super Nintendo World From a data standpoint, Disney doesn’t really need to build a fifth gate to “keep up” with Universal — they’re already ahead financially and just in sheer park numbers (4 theme parks vs. Universal’s now 3) and park attendance. But what about from a fandom standpoint? Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Over the past few years, Disney World has been focusing on building new lands and reimagining existing experiences, as well as adding hotel capacity. Those things just aren’t quite as glitzy or glamorous to fans as an entirely brand-new theme park like Epic Universe, and therefore, people rank them as “less important” in their minds. But here’s the thing, Disney World NEEDS to do the smaller expansions before they could ever think about adding a fifth gate. Pandora Most people treat Disney World as an all-in type of vacation. Many stay on property and don’t leave for the duration of their trip, so the resort needs the capacity in the hotels to house a large portion of the people visiting the parks. And in reverse, they need the park capacity to house all the people staying at the hotels. That’s a big priority these days. Island Tower As Disney World builds new lands into the parks — from Galaxy’s Edge to Villains Land — they’re adding capacity to each park. Have you ever felt cramped in Magic Kingdom? Well, adding a multi-acre land with new attractions and shops will definitely help disperse people! It may draw in additional guests, sure, but those crowds will be offset by more square footage and offerings overall. Villains Land Concept Art ©Disney If Disney World were to build a fifth theme park without first expanding its current parks, it would likely draw in SO many people that the current parks would struggle with capacity. Anyone who’s ever been to a Disney World park on a full-capacity day (like New Year’s Eve or the 50th Anniversary) knows just how miserable that can be. So, if they added a fifth park instead of the expansions, you could probably expect more of those jam-packed full days during your vacation. WOW! Could Disney theoretically build a fifth park in Florida down the line? Yes, they could. However, they first need to complete the current expansions planned, and they may even need more hotel rooms to house those extra people that the park would draw. With so many new lands and attractions on the horizon, it’s likely that many of Disney’s resources are occupied at the moment. It takes a LOT to expand the parks and work on a dozen different projects at once. ©Disney So honestly, I’m glad they haven’t announced a fifth park yet. I may be able to hope for that expansion in my lifetime, but first, I want to get more space in the current parks. Additions like Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land have helped with the crowd flow of Hollywood Studios, so just think what Villains Land and the Frontierland expansion will do for Magic Kingdom. Those changes are necessary before we invite thousands more people to come visit Disney World. @Disney If you want to learn more about big changes coming to Disney World, check out our YouTube video below.

Magic Kingdom We’re always doing our best to bring you the latest Disney tips and tricks, and some of those include some shortcuts that Disney may noooot want you to know. We don’t encourage breaking rules, but if you haven’t wanted to pay for your PhotoPass photos, you have been able to screenshot them in the app, as long as you don’t mind the logo across the photo. However, we’re sorry to say that this has now CHANGED! The My Disney Experience App has changed, and now, you are unable to screenshot any of your PhotoPass photos. Instead of seeing your photo, you’ll be met with a white screen. White screen! The same thing happens if you attempt a screen recording –– there’s now no way to get your photos from the app without someone else taking a photo OF the photo over your shoulder, or purchasing the photo/purchasing PhotoPass.

Disney World works hard to make the parks as safe as possible for guests, but even with all of the precautions in place, injuries can still happen. Cosmic Rewind Safety is a major priority for Disney World, but with millions of people visiting the parks each year, injuries do occasionally happen. And in the first few months of 2025, seven different Disney World rides had injuries reported. Each quarter, a report is released reviewing the injuries reported at the theme parks. Major Florida theme parks must self-report serious incidents where visitors are injured on a ride and are hospitalized for at least 24 hours. The report for the first quarter of 2025 reveals that seven different Disney World attractions had injuries reported during those three months (January 1st, 2025 – March 31st, 2025). Cinderella’s Castle Of the Disney World theme parks, Disney’s Hollywood Studios had the most attractions with injuries reported in the first quarter of 2025. Three rides at Hollywood Studios reported serious injuries: Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, and Alien Swirling Saucers. There was one injury reported at each of the attractions. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster One injury was reported at two different Magic Kingdom attractions: Peter Pan’s Flight and Mad Tea Party. Peter Pan’s Flight An injury was also reported at two EPCOT attractions: Frozen Ever After and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Frozen Ever After During the first quarter of 2025, Disney’s Animal Kingdom was the only Disney World park with no attractions that had reported injuries. Again, this report only includes serious injuries that required at least 24 hours of hospitalization, so incidents where someone had a minor injury but continued on with their day are not counted. Tree of Life While serious injuries are relatively rare, it’s important to take steps to reduce your chances of getting hurt while visiting the parks. The precautions you can take include reading warning signs, checking in with your body, listening to Cast Member instructions, and being cautious as you experience attractions. Not all injuries can be prevented, but being mindful of these preventative steps can help keep you safe. Always read the warning signs!

Disney announced the cancellation of a popular Disney World Hotel holiday staple…and we’re struggling to understand why. Grand Floridian The holiday season at Disney World is truly magical — packed with ride overlays, special events, and festive theming. We’re accustomed to seeing giant gingerbread houses at the hotels, but in 2025, one major resort is bucking the trend and not featuring its iconic gingerbread house this winter. According to Disney World, the famous gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa WON’T be on display in this holiday season. Grand Floridian Gingerbread House Disney’s reasoning is that the hotel lobby is still undergoing its lengthy refurbishment, and, therefore, the gingerbread house will be without its traditional home. Still, we don’t understand why the Grand Floridian can’t get creative instead of cancelling a tradition that has gone on over the last 25 years. Grand Floridian tree and gingerbread house In the past, the lobby drew massive crowds as they gazed upon this festive feature and chowed down on tasty seasonal treats. We can’t help but feel that not bringing back this tradition in some capacity is a huge miss on Disney’s part. Gingerbread shingle Why not relocate the gingerbread house to somewhere else on property, like the convention center? There’s certainly enough space! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Per Disney, the lobby refurbishment is set to run through November 2025, and the space constraints will limit the hotel’s ability to build the large gingerbread house. Unfortunately, no alternative space was recommended, and that’s that. We’d rather the hotel put the gingerbread somewhere else in the massive resort instead of breaking with tradition, but we digress. Can you believe that’s gingerbread? Fortunately, the gingerbread castle at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the Beach Club gingerbread carousel, and the BoardWalk’s mini gingerbread model will all still be on display this year. Gingerbread BoardWalk Deli Regardless of this decision, we’re still super stoked for the holidays at Disney World and can’t wait to bring you complete coverage!

Later this year, Disneyland is set to unveil a new show called “Walt Disney — A Magical Life,” which will feature an all-new animatronic of Walt Disney. ©Disney Disney has stood by the fact that this new animatronic will be one of their most technologically advanced and impressive creations in the animatronic world. While much of this new attraction is still being kept under wraps, a recent preview of the show included an early sculpt of the animatronic. As it turns out, its realism may pose an ethical question some don’t agree with. According to the LA Times, Imagineering previewed the new show for a select group of media, and an early sculpt of the animatronic was revealed. It had “age spots on Disney’s hands and weariness around his eyes,” and Imagineers stressed that their intention in including such details and others like it is a true, faithful portrayal of Walt Disney. ©New York Times The animatronic itself wasn’t shown, but Imagineering showed the sculpt in an effort to show the care they’re taking in bringing Disney “back to life” in such a way. When the show idea was debuted last summer, Josh D’Amaro confirmed that this project was being done with the support of Disney’s family, including Disney’s grandnephew, Roy P. Disney, who was sitting in the audience. ©The Walt Disney Family Museum Despite this, the project is still heavily debated in the Disney community, with many feeling that any project bringing back someone deceased using technology (whether it be animatronic, holographic imaging, and/or digitally re-created cinematic animations could be seen as exploitative and dehumanizing. One of the most vocal about her opposition to the project was none other than Walt Disney’s granddaughter, Joanna Miller, in a Facebook post. Photos of Walt Disney in One Man’s Dream Longtime Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald confirmed that this Walt Disney animatronic aims to represent Disney in 1963, just three years before his death in 1966. He went on to talk about details they’ve paid close attention to when creating this animatronic, such as the ability to speak with its hands, as Walt so frequently did, showcase his expressive eyebrows, and recreate how Disney often didn’t blink when he spoke, so Imagineers were careful to line up the animatronic’s “blink profile” with filmed footage. Imagineer Jeff Shaver-Moskowit also confirmed that all the dialogue will be taken from Walt Disney’s speeches — no false words or phrases will be included. ©Disney Multiple members of Disney’s descendants sit on various boards that the Walt Disney Family Museum is associated with, and they have pledged their support of the project, feeling that Walt’s fascination with art and technology, specifically how the two combined, means he would likely have really liked the project. ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney news regarding this project and beyond, so stay tuned to DFB.

The Walt Disney Company’s 2025 second-quarter earnings call is coming up, and we’re hoping to hear some major updates. ©Disney | Walt Disney Company Headquarters These earnings calls provide The Walt Disney Company the opportunity to share with shareholders — and other interested parties — the company’s economic outlook as well as some updates on future projects and projections. In the past, we’ve heard about Disney+ and theme park developments, and we feel like similar updates could be made when the call takes place on May 7th. Disney Starlight Update Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is an upcoming nighttime parade at Magic Kingdom that is set to open sometime this summer. ©Disney Inspired by the Main Street Electrical Parade, this new parade will be “using the latest technology to tell new stories about the characters you love.” ©Disney We’ll get to see special floats featuring characters from films such as Encanto, Frozen, Moana, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Coco, Wish, and Peter Pan. ©Disney We’re hoping Disney announces the actual opening date during the call, as it should be quickly approaching! Why We’re Anxious About the New Nighttime Parade Coming to Magic Kingdom This Year Box Office Projections So far, 2025 has not been kind to the Disney box office numbers — its original bread and butter. Both Snow White and Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World turned in modest returns and didn’t live up to the media juggernaut’s expectations. However, that doesn’t mean things can’t turn around for Disney. ©Disney This summer could actually be MASSIVE for Disney’s box office. Marvel’s Thunderbolts* was just released and is getting great word-of mouth, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is another highly anticipated Marvel release that comes out on July 25th, Disney and Pixar’s Elio — which releases on June 20th — has the potential to be a big hit, and it’ll be SHOCKING if the live action Lilo & Stitch — which comes out on May 23rd — doesn’t get close to or break the billion dollar threshold. ©Disney Disney has every reason to be incredibly optimistic about its 2025 box office returns, and we expect them to touch on that point during the call. “Stitch Is SO Back!” NEW LOOK at the Live-Action ‘Lilo & Stitch’ Disney Movie Changes Coming to Tokyo Disney Recently, the Oriental Land Company, owners of Tokyo Disney Resort, shared very early concept art of potential changes and expansions coming to the Resort. These changes include some overhauls at Adventureland and Westernland at Tokyo Disneyland, as well as updates coming to Port Discovery at Tokyo DisneySea. ©Disney Concept art indicated that the Jungle Cruise, Enchanted Tiki Room, the Swiss Family Treehouse, and the Western River Railroad would all be removed to make way for new experiences — a process that would take place through 20235. ©Disney It appears as though Paradise Falls from Up could be in the works as a new land, while Aquatopia over at Tokyo DisneySea might be saying goodbye for good. ©Disney While it might be wishful thinking for Disney to expand on these blue sky ideas at the earnings call, that won’t stop us from hoping for some sort of clarification. ©Disney You can follow the earnings call LIVE on May 7th, 2025, via an audio webcast at 8:30 AM ET / 5:30 AM PT. We’ll also provide complete coverage of the event that day and the days following, so stay tuned right here at DFB to stay in the know!

There are a lot of new additions coming to Disneyland Resort over the course of the next few decades thanks to the HUGE DisneylandForward expansion. ©Disney There’s a LOT coming to Disneyland Resort, including a Pandora: World of Avatar Expansion and the first-ever Coco attraction coming to DCA, as well as an Avengers Campus expansion. Well, some construction is currently underway, and while we’re really looking forward to all the new additions, it does mean that one of our favorite shortcuts is now CLOSED! One of the fastest ways to make your way to and from Radiator Springs and Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure is by this little shortcut that cuts between the two lands. It’s one of our favorite ways to avoid backtracking and save ourselves some steps, but now that there is construction around Avengers Campus, this path is CLOSED! The shortcut We totally understand why it has to be closed, as this is partly where a lot of the new construction is taking place, but dang, we’re bummed that we’ll have to walk all the way out of Avengers Campus now to get around to Radiator Springs. While the park isn’t huge, it’ll easily take a couple of extra minutes at minimum if you’re speed walking, and longer if you’re taking more of a leisurely stroll. Wall blocking off the shortcut Disney did not share an exact date for when this shortcut will open back up, so stay tuned for additional updates. More Recent Disneyland Resort News! ALERT!

Now is a great time to plan a trip to Disneyland Resort because SO much is going on — and even more is coming soon. Disneyland Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration kicks off on May 16th and will bring new ride additions, brand-new attractions, the return of fan-favorite parades, and, of course, new eats and treats! But, even before the festivities kick off, we’re checking out some recently released snacks around Disneyland New and limited-time eats just debuted around Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, so you know we had to check them out! Edelweiss Snacks We stopped by this snack spot for the Matterhorn Puff, which is filled with cheesecake, lemon curd, and fresh blueberries, topped with white chocolate and snow sugar. Matterhorn Cream Puff This treat is absolutely delicious! There were SO many flavors going on, but in the best way. The cheesecake and lemon curd are a refreshing flavor together. It is served cold, so when you take that first bite, it has a cold bite to it, which makes it so refreshing! Nice and custardy! There aren’t as many blueberries as we had hoped, but it doesn’t take away from how good this is. The white chocolate on the puff pastry adds a rich sweetness to the tart filling. Tropical Hideaway The Matcha Float is a DOLE WHIP made with strawberry and mango swirl, topped with white chocolate drizzle, and toasted coconut. Matcha Float Matcha can be a divisive flavor, which is why we’re not sure about this one! The flavors are good individually, just weird when they’re all stirred up together. We liked the aftertaste more than the actual taste when we were sipping on it. We really wanted to like it, but it’s just not our favorite DOLE WHIP flavor. Mint Julep Bar Over at the Mint Julep Bar, we picked up the Pineapple Mickey Beignets for $6.49 — which basically sound like DOLE WHIP beignets to us. These are pineapple beignets with pineapple powdered sugar, and we just have to say WOW. Pineapple Mickey Beignets We were honestly surprised by how good these truly were! Fair warning, they are VERY tart. We were hoping they would have a pineapple-type filling, but looks-wise, they are your standard Mickey beignets. They’re nice and fluffy and are served warm. The flavor all comes from the pineapple powdered sugar. Pineapple Mickey Beignets There is so much flavor in the sugar that it tastes like a tart pineapple candy. It doesn’t taste fake or anything, but that first bite may give you a pucker! Cozy Cone Motel 1 We were intrigued by the Banana Cone-Nanza Churros here. These are classic churros topped with banana cream and chocolate dust. Unfortunately, we did NOT love these. Banana Cone-Nanza Churro The banana cream is like a whipped cream consistency, and honestly, it had a fake aftertaste that wasn’t very banana and was more chemical. The churro itself is pure perfection, but the whipped cream is a no-go for us. It would have been better if it were like a custard on top, or even in a dipping cup. Aunt Cass Cafe We stopped for the Strawberries & Cream Cold Brew at Aunt Cass Cafe for $7.29. This is a vanilla cream cold brew topped with strawberry cold foam. This was really good and a fun combination! Super sweet and has more of a chocolate-covered strawberry taste to it. It’s also on the thicker side in terms of consistency — we would almost say it’s like a melted milkshake. Strawberries & Cream Cold Brew The strawberry foam on top is tart and offers a great addition to the vanilla cold brew. We liked the flavors together, but the coffee alone was too sweet, and the strawberry foam was too tart, if that makes sense. If you like trying interesting cold brews, then definitely try this one; however, it’s more on the sweet dessert side and not heavy on the coffee flavor. Tiana’s Palace More coffee? Yes, please! The Beignet-flavored Cold Brew is $6.29. You can get this with or without a cream topper, which we opted to get. Beignet-flavored Cold Brew We were excited about this, and while it was good, we didn’t get beignet flavors at all. The taste was very familiar and sweet, and closer to Oreo or cookies and cream, if anything. The cream topper was tasty and sweet, and this will make most coffee drinkers happy, but there’s nothing distinctly beignet flavored here. Red Rose Taverne Next up is the S’mores Butter Cake Sundae, which you can grab for $8.49. This is a chocolate butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and toasted marshmallow. S’mores Butter Cake Sundae There’s not a single thing we don’t like about this, and you definitely get a s’mores flavor. Lots of chocolate is happening here, and it does overpower the dish at times. The marshmallows are actually toasted, so it’s safe to say you won’t be disappointed in that flavor — it really adds that nice smokiness. Not enough Graham cracker taste, though! Various Outdoor Vending You’ll find the Pull-apart Pizza Bread at various outdoor vending locations throughout Disney California Adventure, which you can pick up for $10.75. It’s filled with seasoned ricotta and topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni slices. Pepperoni Pull-apart Bread This thing may look small, but it’s PACKED with carbs, making it deceptively filling. The mozzarella is baked into the bread, which helps maintain a lighter, gooier texture. This was very, very tasty and soft. How could you hate this? It’s served very hot, making it great for when you’re on the go. The Hawaiian rolls are also really reliably tasty. It’s closer to cheese bread than actual pizza, but the pepperoni makes it the perfect cheese bread-pizza combo. It’s also perfectly shareable! We’ll be on the lookout for even more snacks to review around Disneyland and beyond! In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news.
