The one thing you gotta’ love about Starbucks is the sheer amount of flavors you can get for your coffees, matchas, and even steamers. Some of these flavors are available year-round, while others tend to be seasonal (pumpkin spice, we’re talking about you). Pistachio Cream Cold Brew Well, Starbucks has dropped some delicious flavors that have become so popular that, although they were originally intended to be limited-time, the company has decided to make those flavors permanent. Now, Starbucks has decided that five flavors will make its permanent list so you can order them year-round (note that this still doesn’t include pumpkin spice, though, and we have feelings about that). We’re also big fans of the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Coconut Milk. YUM. All these flavors will make a nice addition to the regular Starbucks line-up. Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Coconut Milk But still, as we mentioned, you’ve got to wait until fall for the pumpkin spice flavor, but maybe that’s what makes it so special. When that flavor drops, you know fall is really on the way! We’ll keep an eye out for more Starbucks news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

If you keep up with travel news, you may notice that there seems to be a rise in cases of unruly passengers on flights. Sometimes, the passengers are so disruptive that they delay take-off time and even create a situation where a plane’s path needs to be redirected. Unruly passengers on planes can disrupt flights Well, according to the BBC, a new airline rule in the U.K. could deal with such disruptive passengers by banning them from flying on ANY airline in the country for the rest of their lives. Officials from the U.K. Department for Transport are meeting with airlines this month to discuss how creating a ban list across airlines of disruptive passengers will work. The idea is that those passengers would be put on a national ban list and prevented from flying with any airline for life. It would also allow airlines to share information on unruly passengers and restrict them from boarding flights. ©United Airlines Problematic behavior, drunken passengers, and other disruptive folks have become an increasing problem for many airlines. Right now, though, if a passenger with a history of disruptive behavior on a flight gets banned from one airline, they can still book flights on other airlines. The new rule would prevent that. “Everyone should be able to enjoy a pint at the airport, but antisocial behaviour on flights is totally unacceptable,” a government source told the BBC. “It threatens the safety of passengers and crew, and disrupts hard-earned holidays.” Flying If approved, this national database would be managed by the government and the airline industry together. It would not require any changes in current law, although it would have to figure out a way to work with the U.K.’s current data protection rules. Right now, those rules restrict the sharing of passenger information. “There are already tough laws in place to deal with offenses committed on flights, but we are exploring with industry how we can better address this issue, ensuring we crack down on people who persistently cause chaos,” the government source added. On board a flight Jet 2 chief operations officer Phil Ward talked about how the airline would support such an effort. He said, “The creation of a national database will mean that, as well as being banned from flying with us, disruptive passengers can also be banned from flying with other UK airlines. We look forward to meeting with the government to discuss further.” A group that represents most U.K. airlines is also supportive of the idea, stating that “additional measures” need to be taken with those passengers who cause serious flight disruptions. The group also stressed that creating a national ban list would be an “important next step.” We’ll keep an eye out for more air travel news, so stay tuned to DFB for more. 3 New Rules to Know When Flying Economy to Disney World Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

It’s no secret that Disney World offers a large selection of culinary options, with something for every type of palate. However, not every one of these foods is created equal as far as Cast Members are concerned. Turkey Leg Thanks to overexposure to certain foods, environments, and guest behavior, the former Cast Members on our team say they avoid these foods any time they’re hungry at the “Most Magical Place on Earth.” All-Star Pizza So, our first story out of the gate has nothing to do with the pizzas served at the All-Star Resorts and everything to do with an incident witnessed by one of our team members. End Zone Pizza While working as a Cast Member, they saw a group of middle school-aged guests throw a pizza down — toppings first — and then proceed to pick it up and eat it. Suffice to say, they haven’t eaten a pizza since. All-Star Sports Seating Casey’s Corner Hot Dogs For many Magic Kingdom guests, a hot dog from Casey’s Corner is the epitome of an All-American Disney World meal. However, for many Cast Members — including on our team — who’ve worked in the eatery and smelled thousands of hot dogs at the height of the Florida summer, they’re more the epitome of a “must-skip” Disney Food. Chipotle Barbecue Dog from Casey’s Corner If this all feels overwhelming, we understand. We’ve been there – picking restaurants for Disney World can feel like a full-time job. Between the reviews, menus, and reservation strategies, it’s a lot to sort through. Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing! Buffets Walt Disney World features several buffets, including Chef Mickey’s. However, for many Cast Members who’ve seen thousands upon thousands of hands — especially those of little kids — all over the buffet’s offerings, it’s table service or nothing as far as sit-down restaurants go. You can make your own charcuterie! Turkey Legs Disney World’s famous Turkey Legs are not, as the internet would have you believe, made of emu meat. They are indeed turkey. However, they are also held together and shaped by edible glue, which, once you’ve served it, felt its grease drip down your forearms, and found out how they’re pieced together, you can kill your appetite for ever chowing down on one again. Turkey Leg Mickey Pretzels Say it ain’t so! The iconic Mickey Pretzels you know and love come frozen and are then sprayed with water, salted, and warmed. Truth be told, they’re still delicious, but losing the illusion of freshness can feel like a bummer. Mickey Pretzel When the former Cast Members on our team visit Walt Disney World, they skip over these food options every time. Stay tuned to DFB for more tips from our team.

There are so many snacks to try all over Disney World, but especially at Disney Springs. We know that it can be overwhelming to try to decide what you should try on your Disney Springs day. That’s why we are here! Disney Springs We always make sure to try all the new food, snacks, and drinks across Disney World so you can know exactly what you should try and skip on your next visit. And we just tried three new snacks over in Disney Springs. We recently stopped by Cookes of Dublin in Disney Springs. This is a quick service spot that serves delicious Irish food and is located right next to the Raglan Road Irish Pub. Cookes of Dublin On our last visit, we decided to try three new items, including the Bread & Butter Pudding Bites for $9.99. This is made with a fluffy dough, cinnamon, sugar, and comes with two dips, butterscotch and vanilla. Bread & Butter Pudding Bites These were really good! We know these were a fan-favorite over at Raglan Road, so we are happy they are now available here as well. These are sweet without being overwhelming, and the vanilla and butterscotch sauces really gave it that classic bread pudding taste and texture. So much cinnamon and sugar We were really happy these sauces came on the side because they helped prevent the snack from getting too soggy. Overall, this was a great treat and something we think would be enjoyed by just about everyone at your party. SO good! Next up, we tried the Cookes Spud Bites for $9.99. This is made with crispy potato, chives, and comes with a garlic mayo dip and a bacon and cheese dip. The potato interior is fluffy and has a nice, smooth texture. The bacon and cheese dip is very light and has a strong smoky bacon flavor. Cookes Spud Bites However, when combined with the potato, the bacon and cheese flavor fades into the background. The garlic mayo was very tangy and heavy on the garlic flavor. Of the two dips, we preferred the garlic mayo since that flavor came through more than the bacon and cheese. Overall, if you’re a fan of potatoes, we would definitely recommend checking this one out! Cookes Spud Bites Last up, we tried The Boxed Spice Bag for $9.99. This is made with fries (aka chips), grilled veggies, chicken strips, and curry sauce that came on the side. This was LOADED with food! The Boxed Spice Bag The curry gave the whole dish a kick but also a good, smooth texture. It has more of a spicy aftertaste. The grilled vegetables gave this a good crunch, but they did not add much flavor-wise. We, unfortunately, were not fans of the fries. They were thick steak fries; however, they didn’t have any crunch and got very soggy. Very crispy The chicken strips had a nice, deep-fried crunch. The chicken inside was surprisingly moist, but it was not very flavorful. The whole dish was overpowered by curry sauce, so if you grab this, we would suggest dipping it in the curry sauce and not pouring it over everything. We would keep the curry sauce on the side We had a great time reviewing these items over at Cookes of Dublin. Make sure to follow Disney Food Blog so you never miss any new food reviews!

A new month means new treats all over the Disney parks, and YES, we get excited about that each and every time. Time for new treats! We headed over to Disneyland Resort as soon as we heard there were FOUR new treats for us to try, spanning both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. While we love the look of all four of them (gorgeous and FUN are great words for them all), we’ve got to admit that there was one of them that let us down in the taste department. Over in DCA, we headed over to Trolley Treats for not one, but TWO new snacks, starting with the S’mores Marshmallow Wand for $8.29. Are these anything super special? Not really, it’s marshmallows on a stick and covered in chocolate, but we did love that this one had caramel and graham cracker as well, which really helped to bring that s’mores flavor forward. We do wish there was a bit more of the graham cracker to better balance out the s’mores flavor, but that was a minor complaint for a delicious treat. S’mores Marshmallow Wand You can also snag the Clarabelle Caramel Apple here for $16.49. This is a traditional caramel apple to its core — a Granny Smith Apple dipped in Caramel and Colored Chocolatey Coating, but with some extra goodies on top. Clarabelle’s nose is made from Nutter Butter, her horns are sour gummies, and she has additional marshmallow and chocolate decorations, too! If you love caramel apples, this is a must-grab, especially if you’re able to show Clarabelle for a fun photo op, like we did! Clarabelle Caramel Apple We also headed over to Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff for the Refresher Flight for $10.29! This is where you can get four small drinks in one, which are great for hot days. Our favorite was the mango with popping mango pearls, which was super refreshing. The mango flavor was the same all around, so you’ve gotta really love mango for this one. Refresher Flight Our second favorite was the Cherry with Nerds, because it literally tasted like we were eating a Nerds rope. Third for us was the Blue Raspberry Pomegranate, because it was quite an interesting flavor combination. We loved the popping pomegranate tang flavor with the super sweet blue raspberry flavor, as they went super well together. Finally, the Apple Blueberry was another fun combo, because it tasted like we were drinking a frozen apple juice, and the blueberry was a fun additional fruit flavor. These are all VERY sweet, so prepare yourself for that, but we’re big fans! Consider us big fans! Then, over in Disneyland, we stopped by Jolly Holiday for the Rainbow Linzer Cookie for $7.49. While this treat was absolutely stunning, unfortunately, the taste wasn’t a winner. The shortbread had a pretty typical flavor, and we appreciated the size of them for the price, but the jam in the middle tasted very artificial. It wasn’t our favorite, but if you’re a fan of shortbread and don’t mind a more artificial jam, then you may love it! Rainbow Linzer Cookie Looking for more recent Disneyland Resort news?

We’re ending the first half of the year (WHAT?!), which means that it’s time to start looking ahead to the changes coming in the latter half of the year. Cinderella Castle From major changes at one of Disney World’s longest-running shows to new fireworks showtimes, we’ve got it all covered for you. Here’s what you need to know if you’re visiting the Magic Kingdom in July. July 3rd, 4th, and 5th – Fireworks times change for Independence Day July 4th Fireworks Instead of having two nights of the annual fireworks show in Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Celebrate America! — A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky, Disney has announced that there will be THREE shows this year — on July 3rd, July 4th, and July 5th at 9 PM each night. Like the current Happily Ever After fireworks show, these fireworks can be seen in front of Cinderella Castle and down Main Street, U.S.A. Dessert parties at Tomorrowland Terrace will also be offered for an additional cost. Note: Happily Ever After will NOT play on these three days. July 6th – Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress closes for a lengthy refurbishment Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress Everyone, take a deep breath, but Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress is undergoing a lengthy refurbishment for some major changes. Because of the technological advances in today’s world, the attraction can be seen as outdated. The new attraction will feature the 1960s, 1980s, the new millennium, and a possible future with an introductory scene featuring Walt Disney himself. Carousel of Progress will close its doors on July 6th, 2026, and reopen sometime in 2027. Extended Evening Hours Main Street, U.S.A. One of the major perks of staying in a Deluxe Resort Hotel is the extended evening hours that come with it. On certain nights throughout the month, Magic Kingdom will close to all guests and only remain open for those guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels. These resorts include: Disney Deluxe Resorts 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 Deluxe Villa Resorts 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 Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort (The extended evening theme park hours benefit applies to Disney Vacation Club Cabins only.) The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Other Select Hotels Walt Disney World Swan Hotel Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Shades of Green® on Walt Disney World Resort Spooookyyy! The dates for extended evening hours in Magic Kingdom in July include: Wednesday, July 1st: 10 PM to 12 AM Wednesday, July 8th: 10 PM to 12 AM Wednesday, July 15th: 10 PM to 12 AM Wednesday, July 22nd: 10 PM to 12 AM Wednesday, July 29th: 10 PM to 12 AM Ongoing refurbishments and construction Piston Peak Construction Magic Kingdom is making room for some new areas and attractions, which means there’s a lot of construction and refurbishment going on all around the park. Here’s what you need to know: Piston Peak is making its way to Frontierland ©Disney The Rivers of America closed last July to make room for Piston Peak, which will be a themed land inspired by the Pixar film, Cars. This land will include two newly themed attractions, including a rally race-themed attraction and a family-friendly attraction for those smaller racers! There is currently no tentative opening date, but as soon as we know, we’ll let you know! Big Top Souvenirs remains closed for refurbishment Big Top Souvenirs Located inside Storybook Circus in Fantasyland, Big Top Souvenirs remains closed for its refurbishment. This area closed in February and has plans to open later this year. This spot is where guests could meet Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, and Daisy Duck, and without this space, they do not have official meeting times. However, they sometimes meet near the Storybook Circus sign, but this is not guaranteed. Check the My Disney Experience app for the latest times!

Have you been keeping up with the Disney theme park changes? Because there have been a lot of them lately! Recently, it’s felt like the parks are entirely new places thanks to updates like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and more. ©Disney Each week, it feels like Disney drops new info, details, hints, and more about the theme parks, cruise line, and the company. Because of this, we do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. Let’s dive into this week’s latest and greatest Disney news. Some weeks, Disney drops news and information that’s exciting but not groundbreaking. This week? They gave us some HUGE pieces of news that will impact the parks for years to come. If you’re a Hollywood Studios fan, this was a big week for you. HUGE NEWS Revealed for Monstropolis Disney finally revealed the storyline behind the upcoming Monsters Inc. Land this week! They dropped the news, writing, “Monstropolis — the monster city now powered by laughter — is getting ready to give humans a glimpse of what’s been hidden from their world for generations. Which raises an interesting question: if humans were never meant to enter the monster world … why are the doors finally opening to us?” ©Disney The story starts after Mike and Sulley discover that laughter is more powerful than screams, so they’re bringing on a city-wide shift by introducing H.U.M.A.N. Day, or “Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice” Day! The monsters have formed the Department of Human Relations to help build a relationship between the humans and monsters, so now we get to go inside their world. ©Disney Disney shared, “Human guests will have the chance to explore the city, meet its citizens, taste unique cuisine, and step into the everyday world of monsters in a totally new way. For the first time, two worlds once separated are meeting face to scaly, furry, and fang-filled face – brought together not by screams, but by laughter.” While they didn’t share an opening timeline just yet, we feel like this was a huge step toward the land being open. Get all of the new details HERE! New Restaurant Announced for Hollywood Studios In the same announcement, Disney answered a question we have been BEGGING for. We have long speculated that Harryhausen’s (the famous restaurant from the film) would be part of Monstropolis. Disney has FINALLY confirmed we were right! Can you hear us screaming from here? ©Disney In the statement, Disney shared, “Storefronts line the streets, industries hum alongside everyday life, and every corner reflects the quirky, character-filled world fans fell in love with. And of course, it wouldn’t be Monstropolis without a few iconic stops along the way. Places like Harryhausen’s — yes, THAT legendary restaurant monsters line up for — and the Glob Theater help bring the city to life, adding even more personality, energy, and can’t-miss moments around every corner.” WE NOTICED THAT, DISNEY! ©Disney While they didn’t give us more information than that, we are seriously thrilled that our educated guess (or delusion) is correct. There are so many dreams we have for this restaurant, but our number one request might be an animatronic of the octopus chef Harry himself. Everything we know about the restaurant here! A Few HUGE Halloween Announcements For Disneyland Finally, Disneyland brought it home for big news this week thanks to some spooky announcements! It might only be June, but Halloween is right around the corner if you’re a Disney fan. Halloween Time returns to Disneyland from August 21st and runs through Halloween night — October 31st, 2026, and this week, they gave us tons of info about what to expect! Halloweentime in Disneyland Mickey and Minnie and their pals will be in new costumes this year featuring harlequin motifs, frilled collars and cuffs, and swirling confection details in hues of orange, yellow, and black. Plus, an all-new gingerbread house will make an appearance in the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay. ©Disney Disney also revealed a new street show called Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party! The street show will take place during Oogie Boogie Bash, and it will feature multiple show-stopping moments for Madame Leota to host her spirited séance and swinging wake filled with happy haunts, ghostly dancing, and ghoulish delight, inviting you to partake in a ghastly good time that beckons all 999 ghosts. ©Disney Plus, Disney confirmed that Plaza de la Familia will return and run through Día de los Muertos, ending on November 2nd. It will have “The Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia Celebrate the Musical World of Coco!” as a traveling troupe of storytellers who sing songs like “Remember Me” and “The World Es Mi Familia”. You’ll also be able to sing and dance along to live mariachi music at the Paradise Garden Bandstand. Plaza de la Familia 2025 While it might feel far away, we know that the spooky season will be here before we know it! 4 HUGE Halloween Announcements For Disneyland In 2026 It was a BIG week for Disney news from monsters to scary spooks! We were seriously excited by all of these updates, and for whatever reason, we’re craving sushi now. While we head to the store, make sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news and more.

My friend recently told me she wanted a Loungefly without spending “I could have bought park tickets with this” money, so naturally, I did what any responsible Disney enabler would do: I went hunting on Amazon. ©Amazon Before we get into the five I sent her, don’t forget that we also have an Amazon Storefront packed with our favorite Loungefly bags if you want even more options to consider. Browse responsibly. Or don’t. I am not your conscience. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. If you want a plethora of options, check out the DFB Amazon Storefront, filled with some of our favorite Loungefly bags if you want even more options to browse. Fair warning: browsing may become cart-building. Cart-building may become “well, shipping is basically free if I add one more thing.” view ALL the Disney Loungeflys on sale on AMAZON Loungefly Disney Peter Pan Glow Clock Mini Backpack This one feels made for the Disney fan who wants a bag with a little extra park-night sparkle. The Peter Pan Glow Clock Mini Backpack has that classic London-to-Never-Land energy, with a design that nods to the clock tower and the magic of flying off to somewhere much more interesting than your actual responsibilities. The glow-in-the-dark detail gives it a little nighttime drama, which makes it a fun pick for fireworks, evening park hopping, or pretending your Monday errands are slightly more enchanted than they are. ©Amazon This is a good choice for someone who wants a Loungefly that still feels recognizably Disney without going full character cosplay. It has a storybook quality to it, but it’s still easy enough to style with jeans, a park outfit, or your “I packed snacks and sunscreen, please respect my authority” vacation uniform. This would be especially cute for Magic Kingdom days, Peter Pan’s Flight fans, or anyone whose inner child still thinks “second star to the right” is a completely valid travel plan. view ON AMAZON Loungefly Disney Atlantis Kida Mini Backpack The Atlantis fans have been waiting patiently in the corner for years, and frankly, they deserve some respect. The Loungefly Disney Atlantis Kida Mini Backpack is a great option for someone who wants a bag that stands out from the usual Mickey, Minnie, and princess lineup. Kida has always had one of the coolest designs in Disney animation, and this backpack brings that bold, glowing, ancient-mystery energy without feeling like something everyone else in the park will also be carrying. ©Amazon This is the pick for the Disney fan who likes their accessories with a little deep-cut credibility. It says, “Yes, I love Disney,” but it also says, “I have opinions about underrated animated films, and you may subscribe to my newsletter.” It would be a strong choice for EPCOT days, Animal Kingdom outfits, or any Disney fan who loves a bag that feels a little more adventurous than sweet. Not every Loungefly needs to be pastel and covered in bows. Sometimes the bag should look like it knows where the secret crystal chamber is. view ON AMAZON Loungefly Disney Mickey Mouse Mick-O-Lantern Halloween Crossbody Purse bag Some Disney Halloween items are cute. Some are spooky. This one is basically grinning at you from inside a pumpkin patch and daring you not to love it. The Loungefly Disney Mickey Mouse Mick-O-Lantern Halloween Crossbody Purse Bag is a great pick if you want something seasonal yet wearable beyond a single party night. The Mickey pumpkin design is festive without being too scary, which makes it perfect for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, fall park days, trick-or-treating with kids, or just becoming the most thematically committed person in the grocery store. ©Amazon We also love that this one is a crossbody instead of a mini backpack. Sometimes you don’t need to carry the emotional contents of an entire Disney vacation on your back. Sometimes you just need your phone, wallet, lip balm, sunglasses, and maybe one snack you fully intend to forget about until it has become pocket archaeology. If your friend wants a Loungefly that feels special but doesn’t need to be used year-round, this is a fun budget-watch option. Disney Halloween fans know that spooky season starts approximately whenever we say it does, so no judgment if this comes out in July. view ON AMAZON Loungefly Mickey Mouse Glitter Sequin Convertible Mini Backpack Crossbody Bag This is the bag for the friend who says, “I just want something practical,” while actively reaching for sequins. The Loungefly Mickey Mouse Glitter Sequin Convertible Mini Backpack Crossbody Bag gives you a little bit of everything: Mickey, sparkle, and the ability to switch between backpack and crossbody styling. That last part is important because park days are long, and your bag needs to be prepared for multiple eras of your vacation personality. Morning you might be a backpack person. By 4PM, after three snacks, two mobile orders, and one unnecessary lap around World Showcase, you might become a crossbody person. ©Amazon The glitter and sequin details make this one feel fun without being locked into one holiday or specific character outfit. It’s a solid “first Loungefly” choice because Mickey goes with everything, and the convertible design gives it more flexibility than a standard mini backpack. It’s also a nice choice if your friend wants something Disney enough for the parks but not so specific that it only works with one outfit. This one has main-character-at-the-ticket-tapstiles energy, but in a way that still leaves room for sunscreen and a granola bar. view ON AMAZON Disney Lilo and Stitch Animal Friends Mini Backpack Stitch bags are always a safe bet because Stitch fans are not casual people. They see Stitch; they stop scrolling. It’s basically fashion science. The Disney Lilo and Stitch Animal Friends Mini Backpack is bright, playful, and full of that chaotic little blue gremlin charm. The animal friends design gives it a softer, cuter feel, so it’s not just Stitch causing adorable destruction across the front of a bag. There’s a little tropical sweetness here, which makes it especially fun for Animal Kingdom days, beach trips, summer vacations, or a meal at ‘Ohana if you’re lucky enough to snag that reservation. ©Amazon This is also a great pick for younger Disney fans, Stitch collectors, or anyone who wants a Loungefly that feels colorful and cheerful without going too dressy. Some bags feel like display pieces. This one feels ready to go ride Jungle Cruise, eat something pineapple-adjacent, and make questionable souvenir decisions. view ON AMAZON Which One Should You Send to Your Budget-Conscious Friend? If your friend wants something classic, send the Peter Pan Glow Clock Mini Backpack. If they love underrated Disney movies, the Atlantis Kida Mini Backpack is the move. If Halloween is their personal Super Bowl, the Mickey Mick-O-Lantern Crossbody is the obvious choice. If they want sparkle and flexibility, the Mickey Glitter Sequin Convertible Bag gives them both. And if they are a Stitch person, well, you already know. Send the Stitch bag and step aside. The real trick with buying Loungefly bags on a budget is patience. Amazon prices can jump around, so if one of these is a little higher than you hoped, add it to your list and keep checking back. A deal can appear out of nowhere, and suddenly you’re explaining to yourself that, actually, buying the bag was financially responsible because it was on sale. Keep checking our Amazon Storefront for more Loungefly finds, Disney deals, park bag picks, and the kind of cute stuff that makes packing for Disney World feel like a sport. view ALL the Disney Loungeflys on sale on AMAZON We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!

We all know that airlines have loyalty programs that offer many different perks when you fly. These perks could include free seat selection, free checked bags, complimentary snacks and drinks, and more. ©Getty Images However, sometimes other businesses will offer different perks for flights. In this case, Delta Airlines announced a new perk for those who use T-Mobile. So, if T-Mobile is your carrier, you’ll want to hear about this new benefit! June is “Member Month” at T-Mobile, and it includes exclusive benefits, limited-time perks, experiences, sweepstakes, and more. Among those perks is free premium in-flight drinks for T-Mobile members who are traveling in the U.S. ©Getty Images This perk is specific to Delta Airlines only, but it’s a great perk that will allow T-Mobile to pick up the tab the next time you order an in-flight drink while flying with Delta. The premium drink includes alcoholic beverages like spirits, wines, and beer. Essentially, all the drinks you need to pay for are now free for all T-Mobile users.

When we’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we love shopping and finding our new favorite piece of merch. When we were in Mombasa Marketplace today, we finally found the souvenir of all souvenirs! They’re SO adorable! These little giraffe and elephant toys are super cute, but they have a secret – they’re made entirely of recycled sawdust! Obviously, we had to learn more. These Sustainable Collectables made from sawdust are $7.99 each or $14.99 for both. The process of making these cute figures is so cool, and they have an entire video about it built into the display. They take sawdust from harvested trees and use non-toxic glue to combine it and form solid figures. Then, they press it together in a mold to get these adorable animal shapes. So cool! Right now, you can get either a giraffe or a lion figure. The machine says these are limited-edition, so the animal options could change over time. Each figurine comes on a wooden base that reads “Disney’s Animal Kingdom,” so it’s a great way to remember your visit. It’s also an affordable Disney World souvenir at only $7.99! Get them before they’re gone To grab one yourself, head to Mombasa Marketplace, across from Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery in front of Kilimanjaro Safaris in Africa. All you have to do is touch the screen to select your figurine, then choose your payment method. It’s important to note that the machine actually makes the figurines when you order, and it takes a few minutes. So don’t try out this fun offering if you’re in a hurry. However, just a few minutes after you place your order, you’ll have a super unique and sustainable souvenir. The process is super easy We had so much fun getting this souvenir today.

Some Disney World foods have a fan club. Mickey Waffles have a small government. There is something deeply powerful about a warm Mickey-shaped waffle on a Disney morning. Maybe it’s the crispy edges. Maybe it’s the soft, fluffy middle. Maybe it’s the fact that breakfast tastes better when it has ears. Whispering Canyon’s Mickey Waffles If you’ve ever come home from Disney World and immediately started wondering why your regular toaster waffles now taste like cardboard sadness, good news! You can get shockingly close to the real thing at home. The secret is the waffle mix. And yes, it’s on Amazon.

Enjoy Golden Malted Waffle Mix at Home! This 33-ounce canister is the mix you want if you’re trying to recreate that classic Disney-style waffle flavor at home. It has that slightly sweet, malted, crispy-on-the-outside thing going on that makes Mickey waffles feel different from your average Saturday morning waffle. Regular mix can get you breakfast. This gets you dangerously close to “we have a dining reservation in 12 minutes and someone forgot the stroller fan” vacation breakfast. ©Amazon You can grab the Carbons Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour on Amazon for about $20 right now, and that is much cheaper than booking an entire Disney World vacation because you miss breakfast. Not that we would judge. We understand food-driven travel decisions more than most people understand mortgage paperwork. You’ll spot Mickey waffles all over Disney World, especially at breakfast. You can find them at resort quick-service spots like Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Beach Club Marketplace at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and the All-Star Resort food courts. A Classic They also show up at character and table-service breakfasts like Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Tusker House Restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. And yes, Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge gets bonus points because breakfast there already feels like it was assembled by a cowboy with excellent butter instincts. Menus can change, so always check before you go, but Mickey waffles are one of those Disney breakfast staples that tend to pop up in a lot of beloved places. Mickey Waffle platter At home, the mix is simple to use. Follow the directions on the canister, don’t overfill your waffle maker, and let the batter cook long enough to get those golden edges. Mickey’s ears deserve structure. view ON AMAZON Disney DCM1 Classic Mickey Waffle Maker Brushed Stainless Steel Now, the mix gets you the flavor. But if you want the full “I am spiritually still at a Disney resort breakfast” effect, you need the shape. That’s where the Disney DCM1 Classic Mickey Waffle Maker comes in. Disney Classic Mickey Waffle Maker ©Amazon This brushed stainless steel waffle maker creates a big Mickey-shaped waffle, which is exactly what your kitchen needs if your regular breakfast has been lacking theatrical mouse architecture. It has a nonstick cooking surface, a power light, and the kind of countertop presence that quietly says, “Yes, I do own themed kitchen appliances, and frankly, I’m thriving.” Pair this waffle maker with the Golden Malted mix, and suddenly your kitchen is giving Disney breakfast energy without the mobile order scramble, the resort bus countdown, or the tiny panic of realizing someone already used the last paper plate. ©Amazon This is especially fun for Disney adults, families, holiday breakfasts, birthday mornings, post-trip blues, pre-trip hype, or those random Saturdays when you simply need your breakfast to come dripping in sugar and character-shaped. Sometimes morale comes from a perfectly browned Mickey face. We support this. Who doesn’t love waking up to a good Mickey Waffle? You can top your waffles with syrup and butter, keep it classic with powdered sugar, add strawberries and whipped cream, or build a full resort-style plate with bacon, sausage, eggs, and fruit. Want to go full Disney breakfast tilt? Pour some juice in a fancy glass, play park background music, and pretend your kitchen is steps away from the monorail. No one has to know you’re still in pajama pants. view ON AMAZON The Disney Breakfast Shortcut We’re Fully Supporting Will this replace eating Mickey waffles at Disney World? No. There is still something magical about sitting down to breakfast in the parks or at a resort while everyone around you is fueled by coffee, sunscreen, and poor sleep. But this combo gets you pretty close. DELICIOUS The Carbons Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour brings that familiar Disney-style waffle flavor, and the Disney DCM1 Classic Mickey Waffle Maker gives you the shape that turns a normal breakfast into a tiny edible vacation. It’s also a smart little buy if you regularly find yourself craving Disney food between trips. A canister of waffle mix and a Mickey waffle maker cost a whole lot less than one character breakfast for the family. Again, not the same experience, but when the craving hits, this is a pretty strong Plan B. Hi, Mickey! You can even make a batch ahead of time, freeze the extras, and reheat them in the toaster or air fryer for weekday Disney breakfasts without doing a full production. That is the kind of kitchen efficiency we respect. So, if Mickey waffles are one of your must-eats in Disney World, this is your sign to bring the magic home. Grab the Carbons Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour on Amazon, add the Disney DCM1 Classic Mickey Waffle Maker, and get ready for your kitchen to smell like a Disney resort breakfast. Mickey Waffles! Now, if someone figures out how to make Key Lime Pie on a Stick appear on command, please alert us immediately.

You won’t believe who we just saw at EPCOT! EPCOT We were recently at EPCOT, enjoying our day at the park, when the most unexpected thing happened. We’re willing to bet you won’t be able to guess what it was! Check out who we ran into at EPCOT… Country Bears at EPCOT? …it’s the Country Bears from Country Bear Jamboree in Magic Kingdom! They’re a long way from their home in Frontierland, and seeing them in EPCOT felt a little strange. EPCOT is known for having Character Paloozas, which are where there are groups of random characters out and about learning how to interact with guests and play in Disney World. Big Al is at EPCOT! The Country Bears were walking around World Showcase and hanging out with guests. Hey, we guess the Country Bears are allowed to enjoy touring around the world, since they never really get to leave the den. We met Wendell, Big Al, and Romeo McGrowl. Look who’s here! It was so fun to see the Country Bears at EPCOT, but we know you’re all asking the same question — why are they there? Well, we actually saw lots of Character Attendant Cast Members with a red “Earning My Ears” banner under their name tag. If you’ve ever seen a Disney World Cast Member with on their name tag, it means they’re training. EPCOT We love seeing Cast Members and characters getting a chance to train on the job, and we’re always down for meeting some more characters and filling our autograph books. Daisy These character appearances that have lots of them just come out to meet guests are never scheduled or planned. They can pop up at the International Gateway or the World Showcase on training days to help Cast Members practice before they start working at an official meet-and-greet. They can also pop up all around Disney World, which explains why the Country Bears are so far from home! So fun! The agents at Small World Vacations know how to save money on your Disney Vacation!

It’s a new month, which means NEW treats are hitting Disney Springs left and right. We’re ready for new treats! One of our favorite spots for a sweet treat is none other than Amorette’s Patisserie, and we can usually count on them to have some new options each month for us to try. We headed over to try two new items on the menu, but we’ve got to come right out and admit that while one of them was so good it melted in our mouths, the other was a one-and-done. First up on our list was the new Key Lime-Grapefruit Tart for $8.50, which is Key Lime Custard on a Sugar Tart filled with layers of Grapefruit Jam and Grapefruit Cream. We’ve got one word for this, and that’s TART. Key Lime-Grapefruit Tart This isn’t for the meek. It’s incredibly acidic and tart, so much so that it was too much for us, and our reporter usually loves these flavors. While the mousse is very creamy, it doesn’t offer any relief from the tartness overall, and while the crust has a hint of sweetness, it doesn’t do anything to balance the flavors out. We think this could have benefited from a meringue topping, or something whipped, to better balance out those flavors. As it stands, we wouldn’t get it again. It’s VERY acidic The other item we grabbed was the Rainbow Bellini Petit Cake for $22, which is Layers of Rainbow-colored Chiffon Cake soaked with Peach Champagne, Simple Syrup, and Peach Champagne Mousse. Rainbow Bellini Petit Cake Not only is this one absolutely beautiful, but the cake here is so light and airy, it literally melts in your mouth. The peach flavor here is very subtle, but in the best way, and while we also didn’t get much of a champagne taste from the cake, we didn’t mind too much. We were also very impressed that we didn’t get any of that bitter flavor you often taste in treats that have a lot of food coloring, though make sure you have lots of napkins — this WILL dye you multiple colors, and it melts fast in the Florida sun! Look at all those colors! Looking for more recent reviews? Check out our posts below! More Recent Reviews!

Donuts are more than just a breakfast food; they’re also a snack (and sometimes, they’re even a great lunch…don’t judge us!). And one of our favorite places to get donuts in Disney World is Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew. Donut Time! Now, Everglazed is mostly known for its over-the-top donuts and its Grilled Cheese Donut (which we will defend to the death), but did you know that you can also get a donut flight based on summer cocktail flavors there? Well, you can, and as soon as we figured that out, we were first in line at Everglazed to order this donut flight for ourselves. The Summer Social Donut Flight features three donuts inspired by classic summer cocktail flavors and will be available through July 31st. You get a Lemon Drop Donut, a Pina Colada Donut, and a Strawberry Mojito Donut for $12.95. Everglazed took those cocktail flavors and transformed them into donuts. It’s kinda’ brilliant, right? Summer Social Donut Flight So let’s talk about these donuts. The Lemon Drop Donut is a fresh glazed donut with lemon curd filling and frosting. The donut is perfectly cooked (no surprise there) and not overly glazed. We only wish it had more lemon flavor and filling. Lemon Drop Donut However, it’s still a DELICIOUS donut with a hint of that lemon flavor. Also, we thought the frosting on top wasn’t needed because it really didn’t add any additional flavor, just more sweetness. Needed a little more lemon flavor The Pina Colada Donut really wowed us, though, because it really tastes like a Pina Colada. You’ve got a good, strong flavor of coconut, with some pineapple flavor coming through. The toasted coconut on top is a nice addition, too. The topping is just whipped topping, and this time, we wished it were a flavored frosting. Pina Colada Donut However, this donut is DELICIOUS, as well as filling. This is one donut we would eat again and again throughout the summer. Our fave! However, the Strawberry Mojito Donut was a miss for us. The mint flavoring in the green frosting had that toothpaste taste, and we just couldn’t get past it. It pretty much overwhelms the strawberry flavor. Strawberry Mojito Donut We can say that if you need a mint, this is a good way to get it. But this was our least favorite of the three donuts in the flight. We would have loved to have more of that strawberry flavor come through, with the mint being more subtle. This just wasn’t it. Not a fan of all that mint We’ll be trying even more new treats in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

If you’ve ever been to Magic Kingdom, then you know how amazing staying at a Monorail resort is. Not only are they gorgeous hotels, but you can get free transportation directly to The Most Magical Place on Earth! We love the Monorail! One of our favorite perks of the Monorail resorts isn’t actually the monorail – it’s the boat ride across the Seven Seas Lagoon directly to Magic Kingdom that takes the cake. One of these boat docks has been closed since mid-May, but it just reopened today! On May 11th, the boat dock at Disney’s Polynesian Resort closed for routine maintenance, which paused boat rides to and from Magic Kingdom. The boat dock just reopened today, so we had to check it out! It’s open! The dock looks pretty different from how it used to be. While the awning looks the same, it looks like completely new wood all along the dock, and new posts, too. The new wood is so pretty! We’re so excited that these boats are back at the Polynesian.
