  9. Will the Easter bunny be hopping over to your house this year? Disney’s Riviera Resort It would appear that the Easter Bunny has already made a stop a few days early at Disney’s Riviera Resort. We’re talking about an adorable new, seasonal snack that you won’t want to miss. What does the Easter bunny have in his basket? Eggs, of course! But these new “eggs” at Le Petit Cafe are a much sweeter treat. We’ve found several Easter goodies around Disney World, and many of them have been ADORABLE. But these cute macaron eggs seem to be straight from Mr. Easter Bunny himself. Easter egg macarons At Le Petit Cafe, you can get a pack of three egg-shaped macarons for $7.99. The flavors are very much spring-themed — strawberry-honey, blueberry-coriander, and orange-milk chocolate. They literally sounded like a dream before we even tried them, plus they were SO adorable! Aren’t they so cute?? We started with the pink, strawberry-honey one. As you might expect, the honey is subtly there compared to the strawberry flavor which is the star of the show. The honey seemed to give it a little extra sweetness in the center. The cookies were so soft and crumbly. YUM! The blueberry-coriander macaron was the blue one (as you might have guessed), and the fruity flavor was very dull, almost non-existent if we hadn’t been searching for it. The coriander is the more prominent flavor, but it was very sweet kind of like a thick icing. It was good, but if you’re looking for more fruit flavor or tartness, you may prefer the strawberry one! Blueberry-coriander Last, the orange-milk chocolate macaron! It was topped with a chocolate Riviera “R” medallion, which was a nice addition when it melted a bit and added to the gooeyness of the cookies. The overall flavor reminded us of an orange-chocolate candy, and we really enjoyed it! It was probably our favorite of the three. ooey and gooey If you want a simple, but delicious seasonal snack, we would recommend these for sure! Macarons, in general, are great desserts, and these were top-tier. These Easter “eggs” aren’t the only Easter treats we’ve tried this year! If you’re interested in our other Easter snack reviews, check out the link below. Click here for more Easter treat reviews! While these specific macarons are seasonal, the Le Petit Cafe at the Riviera Resort is known for its delicious pastries. So even if you’re not visiting over Easter, be sure to stop by and give it a try! We’re keeping our eyes out for all the new snacks in Disney World, so keep following DFB for more!

  10. Disney is a magical place for many reasons — the views, the nostalgia, and, of course, the food! However, for many of us, the most exciting part of Disney — like any other theme park — are the rides and attractions! Mine Train! Lots of new and exciting things are coming to Disney in 2024, and we know many of you are planning your trip around those opening dates. However, be careful, because there’s something else you should be wary of when planning your trip. Like anywhere else, Disney closes numerous rides and attractions throughout the parks for routine maintenance and upkeep — so that park visitors like us can be safe and enjoy the rides the same way we did when they were brand new. DO NOT USE Several ride and attraction closures are happening in 2024, and we’ve listed them all out for you! While most of them are expected to open again sometime this year, just make sure you’re aware of those dates when planning so that you aren’t disappointed when you arrive. The good news is that many of these closures will be easy to avoid depending on when you’re planning a park visit. Magic Kingdom Attraction Closures Although Magic Kingdom doesn’t have many planned closures for 2024, it does have one of the longest planned closures. Splash Mountain As many of you already know, Splash Mountain permanently closed on January 23rd, 2023. Splash Mountain The same flume-type ride is currently being reimagined to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which is set to open in summer 2024! Country Bear Jamboree No, Country Bear Jamboree is not a ride, but it is a very popular attraction that we felt deserved to be on this list. The Country Bears have taken a break from performing for a major overhaul. Country Bear Jamboree The show closed on January 27th, 2024, and Disney has announced that it will reopen with an all-new show featuring new songs this summer. So if you’re headed to Magic Kingdom in March, just know that you might spot one of the bears walking around, but you won’t be able to catch their show. EPCOT Attraction Closures Joy (from Inside Out) Meet and Greet Fans of Inside Out could meet Joy in ImageWorks in EPCOT. But this year, she’ll be switching things up! Joy at EPCOT! If you’re looking to say howdy or twirl with Joy, you’ll need to head over to Pixar Plaza in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. On June 10th, Joy will be moving there to join her other Pixar friends and celebrate her continued adventures with Riley and the gang with the debut of Inside Out 2. Frozen Ever After Frozen Ever After in EPCOT will be closed from November 2nd through November 6th, 2024. This is a relatively short closure, but it’s still something to consider and plan for if you’ll be visiting EPCOT during this time. If you’ve got little Frozen fans in your party, you might want to warn them ahead of time that they won’t get to experience this ride. Elsa, you good? Of course, you can still get your Frozen fix by meeting Anna and Elsa in the Norway Pavilion or by seeing For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios Attraction Closures Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith A fan-favorite thrill ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed for a lengthy refurbishment on January 8th. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is an exciting, indoor coaster that you blast around on listening to Aerosmith hits. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster At first, we didn’t know how long it would be closed, but the ride’s website eventually stated that it would reopen again this coming summer. It’s not uncommon for this ride to go through lengthy refurbishments. We saw the same thing in 2023 when it closed in February and reopened in May. It’s possible that will happen again. Voyage Of The Little Mermaid This live show featuring special effects, music, and characters from The Little Mermaid is an attraction that never made a return after park-closures in 2020. There is still no re-opening date set in place. Voyage of the Little Mermaid Disney announced in December 2023 that a NEW show — “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” — is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Fall 2024! It’s also been confirmed that Voyage of the Little Mermaid is permanently closed in Disney World. Blizzard Beach Water Park Ever since the water parks first reopened, the Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon Water Parks have been operating on opposite schedules. When one opens, the other one immediately closes. Currently, Typhoon Lagoon is open, which means that Blizzard Beach is closed right now. Blizzard Beach Water Park Other Possible Closures 2023’s Destination D23 announced A TON of potential upcoming changes, and while we don’t have official dates for any of the following attractions, you should know it is possible that the refurbishments and closures of these attractions could begin in 2024. Dinosaur One of these rides includes DINOSAUR over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. DinoLand U.S.A. is already being phased out and Disney hinted that an all-new Indiana Jones attraction could arrive in Animal Kingdom, possibly replacing DINOSAUR. Is this goodbye to It’s Tough To Be A Bug? This Animal Kingdom attraction change is certain to happen, it’s just a matter of when. It’s Tough to be a Bug! is getting replaced with a NEW Zootopia show at some point, and that could be as early as 2024. The new show is expected to be filled with humor and action while taking the audience through the different biomes from the movie. ©Disney Test Track at EPCOT is also scheduled to get a retheming. Like the other possible closures we’ve mentioned, there is no set timeline to Test Track’s retheme so it’s very possible it remains open all year in 2024 without any refurbishment or closures. With that said, the chance that Test Track — along with DINOSAUR and It’s Tough to be a Bug! — closes temporarily in 2024 is always a possibility. There ya have it! Those are all of the 2024 attractions closures happening at Disney World — that we know of. We will update this post if more closures are announced! Here at DFB we keep an eye out for things like this, so make sure to follow along for news and updates regarding all things Disney World and Disneyland!

  12. Today, March 26th, is the first day that tickets for the 2024 D23 Expo, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, go on sale! We can’t WAIT! The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening from August 9th through the 11th in Anaheim, California. There will be panels, showcases, merchandise, announcements, and so much more. These huge events often sell out of tickets VERY quickly, but while we were in the virtual queue waiting to grab our own, we got a popup that we thought you should know about in case it happens to you. In order to purchase tickets on March 26th for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, you must be a D23 Gold Member. Tickets for General Members with Visa cards and Gold Members begin on March 27th, and all D23 members can purchase tickets on March 28th. D23 ticket information As D23 Gold Members, we were in the virtual queue when the sale officially opened at 12 PM PT. While we had been waiting for about 45 minutes, we suddenly received an alert that the site was having a technical issue and the pre-sale had paused until it was fixed. ©Disney The message was sent at 12:38 PT ET, and we were not sure how long the pause in sales would last. Things like this can happen when such a large number of people are trying to get on to a site all at once, so it wasn’t too surprising. The best thing to do if this happens to you is to stay in the queue. Eventually, the site will get back to normal. ©D23 There will be a limited amount of tickets available each day of sales. If you’re a D23 Gold Member, you may have the best chances to get the tickets since you can purchase all three days. In the meantime, if you would like more information on ticket pricing and how to purchase the tickets, be sure to check out our post that takes you through all the details! How To Get a Ticket to the BIGGEST Disney Event of the Year UPDATE: A new message sent out at 1:18 PM ET notified us that the technical issue had been resolved and pre-sales had resumed! ©Disney UPDATE: The notification on the website has once again changed. Now, it says “The ticket allotment for today’s D23 Gold Member pre-sale has almost sold out and the queue has been paused. Guests who are currently checking out will be able to complete their transaction. If you were not able to purchase tickets today, quantities of most ticket types will be available during the next pre-sale, which will begin Wednesday, March 27, at 12 p.m. PT for D23 Members who are Visa cardholders—and who pay with their Visa.” So if you have not yet gotten your tickets, you can try again tomorrow, starting at 12PM PST. ©Disney For more D23 and Disney news, keep following DFB!

  15. Don’t make the same mistake that I made in Magic Kingdom! Cinderella Castle Disney World offers Early Theme Park Entry as an extra perk for guests staying at Disney-owned resorts or select Good Neighbor hotels. That means you can enter every theme park in Disney World a half hour before other guests. But be careful which ride you go to during this Early Entry time, because not all of the rides open early! Before we get to the rides that are open for Early Entry, we need to back up a little bit. What Is Early Theme Park Entry? Early Theme Park Entry is a bonus perk for guests staying at Disney-owned hotels. If you stay at one of the qualifying hotels, you get to enter any of the four Disney World theme parks a half hour before other guests! Early Entry This applies to all four theme parks in Disney World every single day. You can see the hours for Early Entry on the My Disney Experience app. Go to your profile (by clicking the three stacked horizontal lines on the bottom menu), scroll down to “Plan Your Next Visit,” and select “Park Hours & Info.” ©Disney A calendar will pop up that shows the hours for each theme park. The hours for Early Entry are listed as well. Here, you can see that Magic Kingdom was open from 8AM to 11PM on March 26th, and Early Entry took place from 7:30AM to 8AM. ©Disney Every park gets a half hour of Early Entry time. To take full advantage of Early Entry, we recommend being at the theme park entrance a half hour before Early Entry time begins, which is a full hour before the official opening time for the park. That ensures you will be able to get through the front entrance lines, as Disney will typically let guests into the park before it opens for Early Entry, although the rides won’t start operating and Cast Members won’t let you past a certain point until Early Entry officially begins. Early Entryinto Disney’s Hollywood Studios When you get to the park entrance, look for signs showing you where you should go for Early Entry. You will have to scan your MagicBand or MagicMobile device in order to use Early Entry to prove that you’re staying at one of the qualifying hotels. There will be a line of Cast Members at a certain point inside the park that will scan one of those devices. You’ll Get MORE Time in the Parks Now! Once you’re through that checkpoint, you’re able to go enjoy the park before the rest of the guests get in! Disney has confirmed that Early Theme Park Entry will continue through 2025 at least. That means that during your upcoming vacation in 2024 or 2025, you will be able to take advantage of this benefit as long as you’re staying in a Disney World Resort or one of the other participating hotels. Who Qualifies for Early Theme Park Entry? Early Theme Park Entry is offered to guests staying at any Disney-owned hotel in Disney World. It’s also offered to guests at select Good Neighbor hotels. Here’s a full list of hotels that qualify for this perk: Disney World Value Hotels and Campsites Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Pop Century Resort The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Art of Animation Disney World Moderate Resort Hotels Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Port Orleans — French Quarter Disney World Deluxe Resort Hotels Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney’s Beach Club Resort Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Disney’s Grand Floridian Deluxe Villas at Disney World Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village Disney’s Beach Club Villas Disney’s BoardWalk Villas Disney’s Old Key West Resort Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Disney’s Riviera Resort Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels, Disney World’s on-property military hotel, and other select hotels Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel Walt Disney World Swan Hotel Walt Disney World Swan Reserve B Resort & Spa Lake Buena Vista DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista Four Seasons Resort Orlando Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Holiday Inn Orlando Shades of Green® on Walt Disney World Resort Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Waldorf Astoria Orlando Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Click here to see our definitive ranking of EVERY Disney World hotel. Which Rides Are Open during Early Theme Park Entry? Now we get to the tricky part: Not every ride is open during Early Entry! I learned this the hard way a while ago when I got to the park for Early Entry and beelined it to one of my favorite rides, only to discover that it wouldn’t open until the park’s official opening time! I wasted precious time walking to that ride and then figuring out a Plan B once I learned that it wasn’t open. 30 minutes isn’t a lot of time, so you want to be very careful and intentional with how you spend your Early Entry time. Don’t be like me — make sure that your plan involves going to the rides that are OPEN . Here’s a list of rides that are OPEN during Early Entry: Magic Kingdom “it’s a small world” Astro Orbiter Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Dumbo the Flying Elephant Mad Tea Party Mickey’s PhilharMagic Peter Pan’s Flight Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Space Mountain The Barnstormer The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Tomorrowland Speedway Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress Seven Dwarfs Mine Train EPCOT Beauty and The Beast Sing-Along Frozen Ever After Mission: SPACE Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Soarin’ Around the World Spaceship Earth Test Track The Seas with Nemo & Friends Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Disney’s Animal Kingdom Avatar Flight of Passage DINOSAUR Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain It’s Tough to be a Bug! Na’vi River Journey TriceraTop Spin Expedition Everest Disney’s Hollywood Studios Alien Swirling Saucers Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith Slinky Dog Dash Star Tours – The Adventures Continue Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Toy Story Mania! Tower of Terror Some notable rides that are MISSING from that list (meaning they are NOT OPEN during Early Entry) include Kilimanjaro Safaris and Kali River Rapids at Animal Kingdom; Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom; and Gran Fiesta Tour, Living with the Land, and Journey Into Imagination with Figment in EPCOT. Note that rides that don’t have a standby line — including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle / Run — are not open for Early Entry. You must use the virtual queue or buy an Individual Lightning Lane to get on those rides. Character meet-and-greets are also not open during Early Entry. Find out which rides you should go to FIRST in Disney World. Now you’re more prepared than I was the first time I used Early Entry in Disney World! By setting up a plan of what you’re going to do first when you get to the theme parks, you’ll avoid a moment of panic once you actually get there.

  18. Could Disney+ be in for another massive revamp? ©Disney Disney+ has seen some massive success with recently added titles and new technology-driven ways to stream digital content like never before with the use of headsets and environments. However, Disney+ has made another change and this one was hard NOT to notice! Our brains didn’t want to believe our eyes, but in the end, there was no deceiving us. With all the recent changes to Disney+, it can be hard to keep up with the latest. However, this most recent change is one that’s hard to ignore. A new update has made its way to Disney+’s notable blue and white logo. ©Disney According to The Verge, the newest look at Disney+’s logo design comes on the news of an impending merger between the streaming platform and its sister company, Hulu. Hulu is typically known for its vibrant green logo, so it seems that this merger (and green color) may have influenced the new color of the Disney-owned streaming platform, Disney+. ©Disney The newest update to the logo is the apparent teal background color, which some could argue is the combination of the navy blue and bright green hues between the two companies. Disney+ Hulu bundle The updated design is now sported on the Disney+ website and app store platforms for download and could help the streaming service stand out against the competition. Most other popular streaming services like Prime Video, Max, and Paramount Plus all sport a variation of a black or blue background to their apps and splash pages. ©Amazon However, the color isn’t the only change on the logo. The sweeping arc above “Disney” was previously a gradient-colored line, but now it is a solid white line arcing above the words. Some argue that part of the magic of Disney has now been lost from these changes. The navy blue could be reminiscent of the Cinderella Castle and the swoosh as a gradient might be thought of as Tinker Bell flying in to land on the +. That’s up for interpretation, though.

  20. Who else LOVED keeping up with the Russos as a kid? We sure did! ©Deadline Wizards of Waverly Place was available to watch on Disney Channel from 2007 to 2012, and a lot of us were pretty bummed when the show was canceled. So, imagine how STOKED we all were when a REBOOT was announced! The fan-favorite family comedy starred Selena Gomez as Alex Russo, who navigated her teenage life as a wizard while surrounded by her normal friends, classmates, and teachers. Of course, her family members were also wizards, including her older brother Justin, played by David Henrie. Henrie was the one to announce the reboot, sharing a photo on social media of the script cover. Now, we have another update! Disney+ shared on X that the reboot would arrive THIS FALL! So far, we don’t know much else about the series other than that it it follows along with now-grownup Justin Russo, who has chosen to leave his life of wizardry behind to live a normal, human life alongside his wife and two sons. However, this life plan is upheaved when a “powerful young wizard in training” shows up at his door and needs his help. In order to help her, he has to pick up the wand again and tune in to his past self. ©Deadline So, it seems that while the original series focused more on Alex’s life, the reboot will focus more on Justin. ©David Henrie via Instagram We can’t wait to hear more details on this soon, and we’ll be sure to keep you all updated when the time comes.
