A new chapter of a story told a long, long time ago is finally getting ready to emerge from the deep, dark sea. Ursula Yes, we’re talking about Ursula, but not in The Little Mermaid movie. We’re talking about Disney’s new trading card game, Lorcana! A new chapter is set to debut soon and Ursula is the star of the tale. Let’s take a peek at what you can expect soon! What is Lorcana? Since August 2023, Disney and Ravensburger have released three collections of this trading card game — The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn, and a Disney100 collection. Then, in March, a new set was released, Into the Inklands. Now, an all-new chapter will be debuting — Ursula’s Return! The game combines the thrill of strategy with the whimsy of Disney storytelling. Into the Inklands ©Disney The story goes that players are “Illumineers” who have landed in a new realm, Lorcana. You must go on quests to search and find the “lore” that was spread out during Rise of the Floodborn when a flood of mixed ink was accidentally unleashed. Your goal in the game is to collect 20 lore (points) before the other players. Your quest to gain lore and challenge your opponents to slow them down. ©Disney Put simply, the game is a race to get 20 points by using the actions that are on each card. You can challenge your opponent and eliminate (banish) their cards that are in play to limit their opportunities to gain points. It’s a game of strategy with a bit of luck of the draw. Ursula’s Return Ursula is returning from the murky depths of her sea cave in the new chapter Ursula’s Return! An Ursula glimmer is ready to put plans into motion after being unleashed from the Great Illuminary. We’ll find out just what she’s willing to do for power when the new set releases in May. ©Disney The new cards will be for sale in hobby stores starting May 17th and everywhere else on May 31st. But don’t worry, we got a sneak peek at these new cards and just had to show you! Two new starter sets, along with other items, will be available to purchase so you can build your deck. 2 new starter decks! A new Amber and Amethyst deck will feature the Madrigal family and more! The Madrigal family! While the Sapphire and Steel set has a mix of powerful characters such as Anna and Hercules! Anna and Hercules Two new foil cards will come with each starter set. Anna and Hercules are in the Sapphire and Steel set. Anna and Hercules And Bruno and Mirabel foil cards are in the Amber and Amethyst set. (Yes, we’re talking about Bruno!) Mirabel and Bruno Location cards were a new feature in Into the Inklands, and they have been continued in Ursula’s Revenge. We didn’t have particularly strong feelings one way or the other about location cards, and that remains true. In the Sapphire and Steel set, you can visit the land of the gods — Thebes. Thebes But in the Amber and Amethyst set, you can visit Casa Madrigal! Casa Madrigal The difference is this set and the others is that you now have new actions, songs, locations, and characters to use in the game! Otherwise, the game is played the same with the same goal — race your opponent. It’s still a lot of fun with only two players or with a whole group. Plus, now you can plus up your deck even more! ©Disney Game Play To play the game, you need your own deck of 60 cards. You can use one of the starter decks or mix-and-match cards from any of the different chapters. If you’re going for strategy, you can design a stacked deck of masterful items, characters, locations, actions, and songs. You do not need The First Chapter or Rise of the Floodborn to play the game; the new Ursula Returns cards can work independently. You can also get booster packs that gives you an additional 12 cards to help you customize your deck! New Ursula Returns booster packs will be available. ©Disney 10 Steps for Playing Lorcana Setting Up Determine the first player by flipping a coin, rolling a die, or so on. Shuffle your deck. You can only have 60 cards in your deck. Set your lore tracker to 0. Draw 7 cards for your starting hand. You can look at the cards in your hand, but not anyone else’s hand! Alter your starting hand if you choose. Beginning Phase of a Turn Ready — Ready your exerted cards by turning them upright. (Exerted cards were used the previous turn which means they end up sideways.) Set — Check for effects that happen at the start of your turn and follow their instructions. Draw — Draw a card from the top of your deck. The first player skips this step on their first turn. Main Phase of a Turn Once per turn, you can put a card facedown into your inkwell at any time. (Your inkwell is basically like your bank and ink is the currency.) You can take any actions listed below, any number of times, in any order you want. This allows you to take full advantage of what your cards do in combination with other effects. Play a card. You must pay a certain amount of ink for your character to be played, but you have to wait for the “ink to dry” (your next turn) before you can use their abilities (unless the card specifies differently.) Use a character ability that doesn’t require them to exert. (Exert means turn sideways and be in position to be attacked by opponents.) Use an item ability. Use a location ability. Quest Challenge an opponent’s location or exerted character. Use an ability that requires them to exert. There are detailed instructions for these steps in the quick start rules book that you get with a starter deck. Game Play Overall, I love this game! I will continue to play it so I can enjoy the new plots and lore. I hope you all can enjoy this game as much as I do! For more Disney news, keep following DFB!

What’s a Disney World trip without something completely unexpected happening? Hollywood Studios Unfortunately, we’re used to rides closing at Disney World — refurbishments or otherwise. However, it’s not every day we get footage from inside a broken-down attraction — and that’s just what we have for you today! A reader sent us footage while evacuating Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Monday, May 6th, 2024 and we have to say — they might’ve lived our not-so-secret dream! It appears something can stop us, after all! Our reader was stopped in the Daisy dance scene and was escorted out of the attraction by Disney World Cast Members. Picture of the evacuation from our reader An unfortunate reality is that Disney World rides can and will break down from time to time. Fortunately, there are some upsides! Cast Members will usually reimburse you with a free Lightning Lane pass that is eligible on most rides and you can catch a glimpse of some of the ride behind-the-scenes, especially when the lights are turned on! Our reader got a good look at the ride with the lights on! When it comes to Disney World malfunctions, it’s all about finding the silver lining, right? We think it would be really cool to see the inner workings of a fun ride like Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and then be rewarded with a Lightning Lane! What do you think? As always, we’ll keep you posted on Disney World ride updates as well as anything and everything Disney World, so stay tuned here at DFB for all the latest!

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has targeted a new industry. Good Meat lab-grown chicken. You might be familiar with DeSantis and his policies through his appointed board that oversees Disney World and the surrounding areas: the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board. Now, though, DeSantis is targeting a new industry outside of the theme parks: food. DeSantis said in a press release that the law represented Florida “… fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals… Our administration will continue to focus on investing in our local farmers and ranchers, and we will save our beef.” ©Governor Ron DeSantis Website Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson echoed DeSantis, saying in the same press release that “Florida is taking a tremendous step in the right direction by signing first-in-the-nation legislation banning lab-grown meat. We must protect our incredible farmers and the integrity of American agriculture. Lab-grown meat is a disgraceful attempt to undermine our proud traditions and prosperity, and is in direct opposition to authentic agriculture.” Good Meat – who, according to their website, are “the first company in the world to sell cultivated meat” – spoke about their disappointment with the legislation on their X account. They wrote in part, “In a state that purportedly prides itself on being a land of freedom and individual liberty, its government is now telling consumers what meat they can or cannot purchase.” The company went on “The law is a setback for everyone: Floridians who deserve the right to eat whatever safe and approved meat they want; Florida’s technology sector, innovators and entrepreneurs; and all those working to stop the worst impacts of climate change.” Good Meat Pot Pie It remains to be seen if this Governor DeSantis edict will stand up to legal challenges.

Disney World is rife with little snack stands, but not all of them are created equal! Magic Kingdom Some of the snack stands have hidden gems and our favorite treats (like Eight Spoon Cafe or Cheshire Cafe), while others are probably okay to completely skip. Recently, I stopped by one of these stands in Magic Kingdom to review its whole menu — let’s go to Westward Ho Refreshments! Atmosphere Westward Ho is a snack stand in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom, located directly across the pathway from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe. This small little spot usually doesn’t have much of a line, but it also doesn’t have any seating or tables. Let’s go to Westward Ho! They serve both breakfast and lunch/dinner/snack offerings here. I stopped by in the afternoon, so let’s check out the menu! Menu For lunch and dinner, there are only a few items on the menu at Westward Ho. You can get the Candied Bacon Skewer, the Corn Dog Nuggets, or the Jalapeño Poppers. Menu They offer several beverages, including Joffrey’s coffee and slushes. Eats Since there are so few menu items, I decided to order ALL the eats! Full Spread Starting out with the Candied Bacon Skewer, you can snag this meat-on-a-stick for $9.99, and it comes brown sugar-coated and served with chips on the side. This is probably the snack that Westward Ho is most known for. The bacon meal The bacon was pretty fatty on the ends, which diminished the amount of meat on the skewer a little bit. However, my main issue is that it was INCREDIBLY sticky, making it somewhat challenging to eat. That’s some thick bacon! However, it was pretty yummy flavor-wise — very meaty with a bit of sweetness. I was expecting to be disappointed because it’s a fairly controversial snack, but I surprisingly enjoyed it! The major downside here is the price. It’s fairly expensive for a small portion, even with the chips. This one is a bit controversial — some people love it and some hate it. Next up was a meal you might not have known you can get at Westward Ho — Corn Dog Nuggets! These are the same as the ones you get at Casey’s Corner except they come with Lay’s chips on the side instead of french fries. Get the meal for $10.79. YASS corn dog nugs! These nuggets are pretty much the exact same as the Casey’s ones! The breading has a little bit of crispiness on the outside, but it’s soft and a little sweet inside. The hot dog portion is fairly basic and tastes like a normal hot dog. Delicious and golden My favorite hack with these is to go across the walkway to Pecos Bill and get the queso for $1 to dip them in — even better than getting the plastic cheese from Casey’s Corner! In general, I prefer ordering these nuggets at Westward Ho because of the nearby queso, and the fact that I can throw the chips in my bag for a snack later. Inside the nuggets The final food item on the menu here is the Jalapeño Poppers! They are breaded jalapeño poppers stuffed with nacho cheese and served with ranch on the side for $6.29. Jalapeño Poppers I was hoping for chunks of jalapeño inside these, but it’s really just fried chunks of jalapeño cheddar cheese, which was a little disappointing. These are definitely spicier than most “spicy” Disney foods, but not unbearable by any means. The ranch cools it off and brightens the flavor, but they feel empty on the inside and not substantial. I would’ve loved more flavor depth besides just spice and cheese, and I probably wouldn’t get these again. Shockingly spicy! And of course, I needed something to wash it all down! For my drink, I ordered the Minute Maid Premium Lemonade Frozen Slushy for $5.99. Round it out with the lemonade! This had a strong lemon flavor and was very refreshing. It melts quickly so you’ll need to drink fast, because it gets kind of syrupy once it melts. It’s not a wildly original beverage, but I would recommend it for lemonade fans. Refreshing on a hot day So how did Westward Ho fare overall? Overall Of everything I had at Westward Ho, the only must-get for me would be the Corn Dog Nuggets. It’s much easier to get them here than at Casey’s Corner and I love the Pecos Bill queso hack! The lemonade might also be nice on a hot summer day. Full Spread But I was a little disappointed in the poppers, and the bacon was just a smidge too pricey for me to keep going back to try. I would love if they branched out with more snacks here in the future! Nosh or Not? Mosey on out west and stop for a bite if… You’re intrigued by the novelty of these snacks. This is the only place in the parks where you can get bacon on a stick or jalapeño poppers, so if you LOVE those treats, you’ll have to try them here! You want corn dog nuggets without the chaos of Casey’s Corner. I often order corn dog nuggets here if I don’t want to deal with Casey’s Corner or I don’t have the appetite to eat fries on the side — I can just through the bag of chips in my backpack for snacking later. You’re just in the mood for a beverage! They’ve got quite the selection of drinks here and the line isn’t usually too long. Keep on shuffling and explore the wild west if… You want a substantial meal. Outside of the corn dog nuggets, none of these items really offer a substantial meal. You want to sit down and eat. Unless you plan on taking your food over to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe to sit down, you won’t find any tables here. You want a truly spectacular feast. Most of the items on the menu here are fairly middle-of-the-road. This isn’t exactly the place we’d recommend to knock your socks off. BACON!

A well-known Disney World restaurant’s menu is changing. The BOATHOUSE Over the last decade, The Boathouse has become one of Disney Springs’ best known restaurants, a favorite among locals and tourist visitors alike. However, a recent reader email tipped us off to a big change to the restaurant’s menu. As of last May, the restaurant offered an entry serving of two filet mignon sliders and a side of fries for $16.50. The meal served as one of the better values on property. However, a reader brought to our attention that that had changed. The earlier menu, with the 2 sliders and fries meal option listed under sandwiches. According to their email – and a corresponding photo of the current menu – they sent us, “The filet sliders are now on the launch menu as an appetizer option. It comes with 3 sliders for $22. When I asked about it as a meal with the fries, I was recommend to order a side a fries ($10) to make it like the meal was before. I enjoyed this meal before as 2 sliders and a side of fries was a great portion and for less than $20 I believe.” The reader-provided new menu, with the 3 slider appetizer. We checked with the Boathouse, and the restaurant confirmed that the sliders have been moved to the appetizer menu, with the side of fries replaced by a third steak slider. The BOATHOUSE While it’s sad to see one of the best value meals on Disney property slip away, a third slider at least makes the dish more suitable as a shareable appetizer.

Disney World just shared a BUNCH of news about the 2024 Halloween season! Halloween Time Yep, that’s right, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning to Magic Kingdom this year with all the old favorites, from entertainment to trick-or-treating to character meets. Part of that list includes Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks, and if you want a great view for the show, we’ve got an important update! For 2024, Disney will be bringing back the Halloween dessert parties! You’ll be able to book the Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party with either the Tomorrowland Terrace Viewing or the Plaza Garden Viewing options. Dessert Party These dessert parties are an extra cost on top of your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket. Your dessert party ticket will include a dessert buffet, beverages (including some select alcoholic options for those over 21), and designated viewing for the fireworks show. It’s a good option if you don’t want to stake out a fireworks spot in advance, but the downside is that the event will take up a significant portion of the already limited party time. Check-In Time In 2023, these parties cost $99 per person for the Plaza Garden option and $114 for the Tomorrrowland Terrace option. We’ll be on the lookout for 2024 pricing information in the coming months. Tickets for the Halloween Party are required for anyone who wants to attend the dessert party, and budgeting for both can be expensive, especially if you have a large group.

Pop Century Hotel experts would NEVER make these rookie mistakes! Pop Century Resort Disney’s Pop Century resort is one of the most popular resorts at Walt Disney World. The value resort has one of the most interesting histories of any of Disney resorts, and has developed a devoted fanbase thanks to its theming, decor, Skyliner access, and comparative affordability. There are certain things these Pop Century experts would never do. Request a Room in the 90s Section While from a theming and decor standpoint, the 1990s section of Pop Century is arguably one of the resort’s coolest — seriously, the gigantic laptop with a permanent 1999 homepage sends our nostalgia sense into overdrive — it’s also arguably the least convenient area at the resort to stay. It’s far from both the Classic Hall (AKA the lobby building where the food court and bus stops are located) as well as the Skyliner station. 90s Nostalgia Instead, request a room in the 60s section. There may be a preferred room charge, but it’s worth it as this section is within a short walk to both the Classic Hall and the Skyliner station. Fold Down the Second Bed Unless Necessary Some of Pop Century’s rooms contain a Queen-size bed as well as a Queen-size pull down bed. Now, if a traveler has a party size that requires pulling down the second bed, then they absolutely need to. However, if they only require one bed, leaving the pull down in the “up” position gives a ton of space to move around the room, and generally makes it feel much larger. This table becomes a bed Head to the Skyliner When it FIRST Opens The first of two Skyliner entries on our list. It may be tempting to head to Skyliner as early as possible, however this can be a mistake. Crowds tend to gather early, leading to LONG and often sprawling lines. Instead, wait about 10 minutes after opening, as the system moves fast enough that even during a high demand time the line will have dissipated somewhat by then. Skyliner Station Not Use the Skyliner to Get to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios The Skyliner is one of the biggest perks to staying at Pop Century, as the reliable system provides a quick and aesthetically pleasing way to head to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, as well as several other Disney hotels. There’s no reason to either drive or ride share to either of those parks if the Skyliner is available. Skyliner gondola system Plan to Eat at the Food Court after Staying at Magic Kingdom Until Close While getting to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios from Pop Century is quite convenient, traveling back and forth to the Magic kingdom is… not. The park and hotel are far apart, and — especially at closing — the buses are packed, as are the transportation options to get to the Transportation and Ticket Center for anyone thinking of driving or ride sharing. In other words, the odds are slim at best that a guest would be able to stay at the Magic Kingdom until the end of the park’s day and make it back to Pop Century in time to grab dinner at the Everything Pop food court. Sometimes Disney transportation just isn’t fast enough Skip the Tie-Dye Cheesecake Speaking of the food court, no Pop Century expert would stay at the hotel without enjoying its trademark tie-dye cheesecake dessert at least once! Tie-dye Cheesecake It’s just FUN! Pop Century is one of Walt Disney World’s most beloved resorts, especially at the value level, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t mistakes to avoid when staying there.
