Be on alert, adventurers! We’ve just received word that the Jungle Navigation Company has done it again … an important shipment has been misplaced somewhere in the jungles of Adventureland at Disneyland park. It’s not Juju headed for the Adventure Trading Company this time, but it’s something almost as valuable! The perpetually homesick skippers at the world-famous Jungle Cruise were hoping to bring a little more holiday cheer to their Disneyland park outpost this season, so they went all-out and ordered a shipment of goodies and garlands to adorn their little corner of the jungle. But somewhere along the way, the shipment was misplaced. When the Jungle Cruise reopens at Disneyland park for the holiday season, keep a keen eye out, adventurers! Let us know if you see any of their misplaced merriment as you explore the wilds of Adventureland this holiday season.

Dead Men Tell No Tales! Central Park turned into Central pARRRk recently, courtesy of the group Improv Everywhere, showing their Disney Side to New York park goers and vice versa. Such iconic locations as the Central Park Boathouse, Bow Bridge and Bethesda Fountain were overrun by the fiercest scallywags to ever sail “The Lake” in the park – seemingly straight out of our very own Pirates of the Caribbean attraction! Imagine that! Take a look. Improv Everywhere, creators of the “Films in Real Life” viral video series, is a New York City-based “prank collective” that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. As you can see, New Yorkers weren’t afraid to show their Disney Sides, as well. We at the Disney Parks Blog were there to cover all the action. Check back soon for a behind-the-scenes report!

We are stopping into Disneyland’s Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe to check out a new sweet treat that recently debuted! Although Jolly Holiday is a fairly new addition to Main Street USA, the atmosphere of this spot is so perfectly excecuted that you’d swear it’s been there since Walt Disney walked these streets! Whenever I’m in Disneyland, even if it’s only for a short trip — and on this trip I was there for about 36 hours — I have to make time for this place. Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe The counter service spot celebrates all things Mary Poppins. Seating is outdoors here, but that’s perfectly fine with me — look how cheerful the patio setting is! (Seriously, is the weather EVER bad here?) Outdoor Seating Inside, you’ll find touches everywhere that remind you of the film. Porcelain figurines bring a couple of the best movie scenes to life. I love this one of Mary on her carousel horse! Mary Poppins! After a look around at all the wonderful touches, I wanted to see just what was new in the bakery cases! The lunch menu gives you an idea of the general offerings at Jolly Holiday. But the bakery has also become a landing spot for new and seasonal treats. Heather shared a few of them with you not too long ago! Menu — Click to Enlarge This time out, I saw a bunch of new things. But one treat in particular called my name, and I know it’ll call yours, too! Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie PieSince it opened in a couple of years ago, Jolly Holiday has been a popular spot. But lately, they’ve really stepped up their game by offering some fantastic seasonal and limited-time options. When I heard that they had debuted a Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie? Wild horses and all that. Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie at Jolly Holiday Bakery You know I am all about the Peanut Butter. And Disneyland has some of my favorite PB treats, like the Peanut Butter Sandwich and Peanut Butter Heaven (which is the most perfect sweet treat name ever). Would this one measure up? Let’s see. Two soft, moist, Chocolate Cake Cookies come together with a more than adequate scoop of rich Peanut Butter Filling. A drizzle of Chocolate on top makes it the slightest bit fancy. Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie — Up Close Inside, you can see just how thick and rich this is. And I’m not just talking about the filling! Sometimes in whoopie pies, the cookie part is kind of an afterthought. But here it’s definitely part of the story. Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie — Cross Section And the peanut butter filling is so dense and full of flavor. I hate wimpy peanut butter. This is not wimpy peanut butter. Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie Filling It’s no secret that I go for any treat that involves peanut butter, so this was kind of a no-brainer. And it was definitely worth using one of my 36 hours in Disneyland to seek it out. Will you be stopping by Jolly Holiday for a Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pie?

Every Thursday throughout the month of November, I’ll be sharing photographs of our theme park icons “in the making” at Walt Disney World Resort. This week, we’re taking a look at Cinderella Castle. Soaring 189 feet into the sky, this world-famous castle fit for a princess was still under construction in February 1971. Boasting 18 towers, this centerpiece of Walt Disney World Resort and the icon of Magic Kingdom Park had its color palate carefully selected as to complement and not compete with the blue skies of Central Florida.

How much do you know about Castaway Cay? No matter how many times you’ve been to our private island, chances are you learn something new with each visit. If you’re looking forward to your first day at this little slice of paradise in the Bahamas, here’s what you need to know … The island is reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests. If the Castaway Cay post office is open, be sure to stop by to mail a message (and brag) to friends back home. Also check out the merchandise you can only get on the island, like beachwear, hats and collectible pins with our Castaway Cay logo, at She Sells Sea Shells … and Everything Else! You can walk right off the ship to the island. The dock built at Castaway Cay eliminates the need to tender, making the ship easily accessible throughout the day. Trams provide transportation to and from various points on the 1,000-acre island. All you’ll need is your Key to the World card to get on and off the ship as you please. There’s something for everyone. Disney Imagineers designed Castaway Cay much like our ships, with unique activities and areas for every age group. Places for the family to spend time together are plenty, but when it’s time to do your own thing, kids can head to Scuttle’s Cove, teens to the secluded Hide Out and adults to the pristine Serenity Bay. All that you need is included. From complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas to an all-you-care-to-eat lunch buffet and ice cream station, we’ve got you covered. We even provide beach towels, wagons and strollers to make your day more comfortable. There isn’t much you’ll need to bring onto the island with you, except for of course plenty of sunblock and a good book! There are plenty of Port Adventures options for your family. Just like in our other destinations, we work with local operators to offer excursions such as parasailing, deep sea fishing and boat tours. Plus, you won’t want to miss the activities exclusive to the island, including Castaway Ray’s Stingray Adventure, the Castaway Cay Walking and Kayak Nature Adventure and the teen-only Wild Side Adventure. The island is stocked with toys for water sports enthusiasts. Water cycles, paddleboats, sea kayaks, sailboats, stand-up paddle boards, floats and snorkel gear are all available to rent. There’s also a watercraft ski adventure for the chance to drive a personal watercraft through mangroves and around the island. You can stay cool even in the warm sunshine. Besides joining the water fun with one of the many activities listed above, the Pelican Plunge slide is a great way to cool off. When you need a break from the sun, shaded areas are located around the island, including covered seating near the lunch buffets and bars, In Da Shade Game Pavilion and private rental cabanas. Disney cruisers, did I cover everything? If not, tell us what else we need to include to complete this list!

Waffles with espresso-mascarpone cream … poached eggs with fennel sausage, Parmesan and tomato gravy over soft polenta … the breakfast menu at the new Trattoria al Forno offers American favorites along with some classic Italian tastes. Opening day is December 18. “Fresh ingredients are key,” says Chef Dee Foundoukis. You can get a classic American breakfast with bacon and eggs, but we wanted to offer some Italian tastes, too.” Like the frittata and the scrambled eggs with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. (Our favorite is the cured Italian meats with tomatoes, hard-boiled egg and cheese with fonduta, a warm, cheesy sauce for dipping bread.) The spacious, family-friendly dining room is inspired by farms in the Italian countryside, with a big open kitchen and the smell of wood burning in the oven. It’s a terrific spot to fuel up for a day in the theme parks. Trattoria al Forno will be open 7:30-11 a.m. for breakfast, 5-10 p.m. for dinner, and accepts the Disney Dining Plan.

You may have heard of the running of the bulls in Pamplona, but did you know we have our own goat version almost every day at Disneyland park? The Disneyland goat herd, numbering 13 goats, spend their days at the Petting Farm at Big Thunder Ranch in Frontierland. Between naps, they welcome guests with their calm demeanor and somewhat bewitching eyes. But when “quitting time” comes, the energy level goes up quite a bit. With dinner on their minds, they scoot over the hill to Circle D Ranch, where supper awaits them. Next time you’re in Disneyland park around sunset, be sure to stop by and witness this adorable bunch scamper home! In the meantime, you can catch the “goat running” in the video below.

Craving some of those awesome dishes that you’ve enjoyed at the 2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival? Welcome to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival! It’s one of my favorite parts of the Festival — tasting my way around World Showcase, and then going home to try my hand at a few new recipes! Today, we’re visiting the Poland Marketplace Booth for a taste of traditional fare. This year, Poland offers two varieties of Pierogies. Similar to dumplings, you’ll find them stuffed with sauerkraut or potato at the Festival, depending on which dish you choose. Today, we’ll take a closer look at Potato Pierogies served with Kielbasa. Kielbasa & Potato Pierogie with Caramelized Onions and Sour Cream If you’ve ever wanted to make your very own pierogies from scratch, here’s your chance! Kielbasa and Potato Pierogies with Caramelized Onions and Sour CreamPoland Marketplace Booth Ingredients:Serves 4 (16 Pierogies) Kielbasa: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 pound boiled Polish smoked Kielbasa sausage Pierogies: 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters 1/3 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 large egg, slightly beaten 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup milk For Serving: 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup chopped chives Instructions:For Kielbasa: 1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking until onion i soft and translucent. Stir in garlic and tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Add sausage, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until sausage is heated through. Set aside and keep warm. For Pierogies: 1. Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and add milk, butter, salt, and pepper; mash until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese. Set aside to cool. 2. For dough, put flour in a large shallow bowl and make a well in the center. Add egg, salt, and milk to well. With your fingers, slowly draw flour into the liquid to form a soft, smooth dough. Knead well. Cover the dough and let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes. 3. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough as thinly as possible (about 1/8-inch thick) and cut into 3-inch circles. Spoon a generous teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Wet edges of dough with fingertip dipped in water, then fold over and crimp edges with a fork to seal completely. Transfer to a lightly floured kitchen towel and cover with a damp towel. 4. Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of salted water to a boil. Add pierogies, gently stirring to keep them from sticking together, and cook about 5 minutes — they will float to the surface when cooked. Drain on paper towels. To Serve: 1. In a large sauté pan, melt butter and cook pierogies for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until crisp and brown. 2. Serve with kielbasa and top with a dollop of sour cream sprinkled with chopped chives.

Adventures by Disney recently announced an exciting lineup of Long Weekend itineraries that allow your family to enjoy an unforgettable getaway together on a shorter timeframe. These trips take you to New York City, Wyoming, Nashville or the “City by the Bay,” San Francisco, which served as the inspiration for the fictional town of San Fransokyo (pictured below) from the Walt Disney Pictures film “Big Hero 6” (coming to theaters November 7). “Big Hero 6″ is an action-packed comedy-adventure about the special bond that develops between Baymax, a plus-sized inflatable robot, and prodigy Hiro Hamada. When a devastating event befalls the city of San Fransokyo and catapults Hiro into the midst of danger, he turns to Baymax and his close friends to help uncover the mystery. On the Adventures by Disney Long Weekend vacation to San Francisco, you can explore the city that inspired “Big Hero 6″ filmmakers, while also enjoying visits to landmarks such as Muir Woods, a privately guided tour of the Walt Disney Family Museum, a special trip to Lucasfilm, wine tasting at Silverado Vineyards in Napa and so much more. Plus, now this trip also includes exciting enhancements that are sure to delight fans of “Big Hero 6″, including: Exclusive videos featuring interviews with the directors and producers of “Big Hero 6″ not seen anywhere elseA visit to the Angel Island military base, which plays a significant role in the filmA trip through San Francisco’s Japantown, which served as a great inspiration for the filmmakers when designing the animated look of San FransokyoOther fun surprises and activities related to the filmThese enhancements to the Adventures by Disney San Francisco vacation will allow you to see this magnificent city through the creative lenses of Disney’s award-winning team of animators and filmmakers. The first departure of the Adventures by Disney Long Weekend vacation to San Francisco, now including special “Big Hero 6″ enhancements, begins May 2015.
