It may technically still be summer, but Halloween season has officially arrived in Disney World. EPCOT We’ve obviously been talking a lot about all the Halloween fun over in Magic Kingdom, but we just found one EPCOT store that has been completely transformed for the Halloween season! On our last visit to EPCOT, we were wandering around World Showcase when we noticed that one store in the American Adventure Pavilion looked completely different. The Art of Disney store, which typically showcases, you guessed it, Disney art, is now filled with tons of Halloween merch! Ghoulish Gallery There is still a bunch of Disney art on the walls, but now the center of the room is full of different Halloween merch. And after speaking with a Cast Member, we found out that the store even got a temporary name change. So for the Halloween season, The Art of Disney has transformed into the Ghoulish Gallery! The Art of Disney has transformed! And if you look around the walls, it even looks like they have added more Halloween and Villain art to match the spirit of spooky season. Spooky Art This is an amazing way to transform a space to perfectly fit into the Halloween vibes, and we already know we will be making more than a few stops here to check out the fun art and spooky merch.

Well, we managed to go to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year, and it was an EXPERIENCE. We saw and did everything we could do: we checked out all the cool merchandise, we watched the parade and the fireworks, and we ate a ton of party-exclusive snacks. Trick-or-treating We also did a lot of trick-or-treating because if you’re going to pay for a ticket for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you might as well get all the free candy you can, right? However, we noticed an interesting trend with trick-or-treating this year that we wanted to share. So one of our best pieces of advice for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in previous years has been to wait to go trick-or-treating because if you wait until right before the party ends, you’ll be able to trick-or-treat to your heart’s content with shorter lines. However, we guess word got out about that little tip, because that has CHANGED. Treat trail In fact, we were SHOCKED at just how many people were trick-or-treating at the end of the party. The lines for treat trails were longer than we expected. Before, you could just breeze on through the treat trails and even do them multiple times and stock up on a lot of candy fast, but that’s no longer the case. Treat trail So our best piece of advice now is to just not wait to do your trick-or-treating. You might as well just hit up the treat trails as you’re making your way around Magic Kingdom during the party (and then you don’t have to worry about backtracking). Still, we’re disappointed that our little trick for speeding through treat trails is no longer really valid. Boo (To You). Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Treat Bag We’ll be sure to keep you updated on our best tips and tricks for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

We spend a perfectly reasonable amount of time poking around Amazon for Disney souvenirs. “Perfectly reasonable” is, of course, a flexible term that includes monitoring the price history of sequin backpacks and having existential thoughts about kitchen appliances shaped like astromech droids. ©Disney During our latest Amazon excavation, we found seven Disney items that deserve some attention. Several have dropped to their lowest prices in months, and a few have reached prices we haven’t seen in more than a year. From jewelry you can wear around Disney World to a Mickey Mouse oven mitt that gives every casserole a round of applause, these are the Disney souvenirs currently hovering over our “Add to Cart” buttons. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Mickey Mouse Endless Hoop Earrings These Mickey Mouse Endless Hoop Earrings are currently 20% off, which may not sound like the sort of discount that requires an emergency meeting of the Disney Shopping Council. The price history tells a better story. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on these earrings in three months, including during recent Prime Deal Days. In other words, Amazon has had plenty of opportunities to offer a better price and simply has not done it. Mickey Mouse Endless Hoop Earrings We also own these earrings, so this isn’t a case of judging jewelry through the cold glass of an Amazon product listing. They’re lightweight, sparkly without becoming tiny chandeliers, and subtle enough to wear outside the parks. The Mickey design is built into the hoop instead of dangling from it, which gives the earrings a cleaner look. ©Amazon If you’ve been watching these, the current price is genuinely good. They also tend to perform extremely well whenever we share them on social media, so we wouldn’t count on every pair sitting patiently in stock. View on Amazon Loungefly Winnie the Pooh Sequin & Glitter Mini Backpack Is this technically a Halloween Loungefly? No. Does its warm orange color look ready to stroll through Magic Kingdom carrying a pumpkin spice cold brew? Absolutely. The Winnie the Pooh Sequin & Glitter Mini Backpack is covered in golden-orange sequins, with Pooh’s face, ears, and red shirt creating a bag that is cheerful, sparkly, and unexpectedly perfect for fall. It has the cozy colors of the season without locking you into a strictly Halloween design. More importantly, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on the backpack in over a year. That is the detail making us pay attention. Loungefly prices bounce around constantly, but this one has stayed stubbornly higher for a long time. We genuinely don’t expect to see it drop much lower than its current price. You could carry it during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, through an autumn Disney trip, or during any random Tuesday when your outfit needs more Pooh Bear. View on Amazon Loungefly Disney Minnie Mouse Black Sequin Double Strap Shoulder Bag Purse Before anyone sends us a strongly worded message about an 11% discount, let us explain. Yes, this Minnie Mouse Loungefly is only marked down by 11%. Normally, that would earn a polite nod before we continued scrolling. However, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on the backpack in an entire year. In fact, we haven’t seen it fall below this price during that period. ©Amazon This is also one of the most classic Loungefly designs you can buy. The black sequins work with almost any Disney outfit, while Minnie’s ears and red bow give it the right amount of park personality. It feels special without requiring you to build an entire outfit around a very specific movie, character, or seasonal event. The backpack also has a habit of returning to its full price. If you’ve had it saved in your cart or parked on a wish list, this is the moment we’d consider grabbing it. An 11% discount may not get a confetti cannon, but a record-low price gets our attention. View on Amazon LEGO Disney Princess Castle & Royal Pets Kids Toy I am not a LEGO girlie. I appreciate the creativity. I can appreciate the tiny engineering. I also know that once I open a LEGO set, I will spend the next several hours hunched over a table searching for one beige piece that was under my elbow the entire time. And yet, even I am intrigued by this Disney Princess Castle & Royal Pets set. ©Amazon The set brings together Ariel, Rapunzel, Jasmine, Moana, and Mulan in one large castle. That is already an excellent princess roster, particularly for anyone who grew up during the Disney Renaissance and still has a favorite Disney princess soundtrack. The real draw, though, is the pets. ©Amazon The set includes animal companions for the princesses, which immediately makes the entire thing about 47% more charming. The castle has multiple rooms and areas for imaginative play, but it would also make a very cute display once the final brick has been snapped into place. This is officially marketed for ages six and older. Unofficially, it is also for adults who would like to spend an afternoon building a palace for several tiny plastic animals. We see you. View on Amazon Disney Tinker Bell Fairy Wings Cubic Zirconia Crystal Pendant Necklace Sometimes Disney jewelry announces itself from across the room. This Tinker Bell necklace takes a quieter route. The pendant features Tinker Bell with sparkling cubic zirconia wings, creating a design that is recognizable without feeling like costume jewelry. It would be an easy way to add a little Disney detail to a park outfit, particularly if you prefer jewelry that doesn’t involve giant character heads or a necklace heavy enough to affect your posture. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the necklace in over a year. ©Amazon We could easily picture wearing it with a simple green top in Magic Kingdom, especially for a Peter Pan-inspired DisneyBound. It would also work outside the parks, which gives it a little more mileage than souvenirs that immediately begin shouting “VACATION MERCHANDISE” when removed from Disney property. It is delicate, classic, and currently sitting at a price that has been unusually difficult to beat. View on Amazon Uncanny Brands Star Wars R2-D2 Deluxe Toaster Are we saying you need an R2-D2 toaster? Yes. Yes, we are. This is a working two-slot toaster shaped like everyone’s favorite opinionated astromech droid. When you press the lever, R2-D2 lights up and makes sounds while your bread toasts. ©Amazon Your old toaster does not do that. It just sits there, beige and silent, contributing nothing to the household atmosphere. The toaster has wide slots for bread, bagels, and English muffins, along with adjustable browning settings. It even includes a removable crumb tray, because R2-D2 may be dramatic, but he understands basic kitchen maintenance. ©Amazon Would this take up a noticeable amount of counter space? Certainly. Would we be delighted every time Artoo began chirping over a bagel? Also certainly. Buy, you must. Yes, that quote belongs to a different Star Wars character. No, we will not be taking questions. View on Amazon Disney Mickey Mouse Hand Oven Mitt Pot Holder Replica This Mickey Mouse oven mitt makes us smile every time we see it. It is shaped like Mickey’s familiar white glove, which means every tray of cookies can now emerge from the oven looking as though Mickey Mouse personally reached into your kitchen to retrieve it. The glove is made from thick, heat-resistant silicone and has textured dots on the palm to help with grip. Those dots are even shaped like tiny Hidden Mickeys, because apparently Disney found a way to put extra theming on the business side of an oven mitt. ©Amazon It is also the lowest price we’ve seen in more than three months. This is the kind of Disney souvenir that earns its cabinet space. It is useful, recognizable, and ridiculous in exactly the correct proportion. Hang it near the oven, and it doubles as kitchen decor. Use it while baking, and every pan gets a cartoonishly enthusiastic high five. This may be the item we want most. We have strong opinions about unimportant things, and Mickey Mouse holding our lasagna has become very important. View on Amazon Our Carts Have Spoken A discount percentage never tells the whole story. A modest markdown can still be an excellent deal when the product rarely drops in price. That is why several of these items caught our attention. The Mickey earrings are at their best price in months. Both Loungefly backpacks have reached unusually low prices, including one we haven’t seen beaten in over a year. The Tinker Bell necklace and Mickey oven mitt are also sitting at some of their strongest recent prices. Then there is the R2-D2 toaster, which chirps while making breakfast. Price history becomes almost irrelevant when a kitchen appliance has that much personality. ©Amazon Amazon prices can change quickly, so check the current listing before purchasing. We’ll continue digging through the Disney deals, watching the price drops, and asking the important questions. Questions such as, “How many sequin Loungefly backpacks can one person reasonably own?” We are still collecting data.

Disney World is about to get even busier during the back end of the year! Do you have all the essentials for your Disney days? Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom We go to Disney World all the time, so we know exactly what things Disney fans in their 30s are bringing to the parks. Take a look at these 11 essential items on Amazon, because there may be something that stands out that you’ll want to be packing before your vacation. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. This Pinfolio is popular! PinFolio Go Pin Display Bag For all you Disney pin collectors, we found the perfect item for you, and it’s this Pinfolio! As we enter the later part of the year, you may find some pins amongst the exclusive merchandise at the Halloween party, Food and Wine Festival, and the Christmas season. With this small size, it is easy to put in a Loungefly backpack, and it’s light. It could easily get filled with pins quickly. If you’re into pin trading, this hands down makes life easier, and it’s super useful! view ON AMAZON This Hand Sanitizer is SO helpful ©Amazon Food, door handles, railings, lap bars — these are all the things you’ll be touching while you’re at Disney World. We love carrying around something like the Minnie Touchland Hand Sanitizer to make sure our hands stay clean throughout the day! As far as essential items go, this is one we never leave without. view ON AMAZON We love this Princess Owala Ariel Owala Water Bottle This Ariel Owala needs to be a part of YOUR world! The green, purple, and red colors, resembling the iconic mermaid princess, work perfectly as a design. Like all Owala FreeSip bottles, it’s built with a super handy spout you can sip upright or tilt back to take a bigger swig. The push-to-open lid keeps things clean on the go, and the carry loop even locks the lid in place. We can’t stress enough how important staying hydrated is while you’re at Disney World, so something like this Owala will make your day so much easier! view ON AMAZON Or, you can grab this Sunscreen Supergoop! For those who burn easily or just want to make sure they’re protecting their skin, we LOVE this Supergoop! Sunscreen. The Florida sun can be pretty relentless, even in the cooler months, so we highly recommend this. This sunscreen is a liquid and provides lots of coverage, but it genuinely can’t be seen. It doesn’t give us any oily shine thanks to it being oil-free, and it’s light on our face, which is important to us. It also doesn’t have a scent to it, which we appreciate. view ON AMAZON Don’t forget about this Handheld Fan JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan We’ll never stop talking about the JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan! It’s a 3-in-1 USB rechargeable portable fan. It offers great cooling while you’re at the park, a power bank that can last 12-19 hours, and a flashlight. It’s small and easy to carry around, and it’s currently 10% off! View on Amazon Oh, this Anti-Chafe Stick is a MUST ©Amazon This go-to Megababe Anti-Chafe Stick is great for smooth, irritation-free skin. This stick is ideal for straps that rub, waistbands that dig, or shoes that blister — basically anywhere skin is sensitive to rubbing. Of course, it’s really built for helping out your thighs. It’ll keep your Disney day going much more smoothly. view ON AMAZON Get these Liquid I.V. Electrolytes ©Amazon No, we didn’t just pick these out because we’re obsessed with Spider-Man: Brand New Day (although we are). These Liquid I.V. Hydration Electrolytes are perfect for giving you a little more energy in an already long and tiring day! Look, we get it, you can’t always be high energy. Sometimes you need that boost, and that’s what these provide. Also, the arctic raspberry flavor sounds too good. view ON AMAZON This Mickey Hat is a great grab ©Amazon Hey, Disney dads, whether it’s for vibes or for keeping your face out of the sun, you should grab this Mickey Mouse Hat! The hat comes in a nice beige color, and has Mickey’s iconic glove at the front and center. It’s also cheaper to get a Disney hat off of Amazon than at the parks. view ON AMAZON We love these Retro Sunglasses ©Amazon Add to that style and grab these Retro Sunglasses! These are popular, especially for Disney goers in their 30’s, because of the shade’s retro style. There are a few color options to grab, but these blue ones stood out to us. Who said you can’t protect yourself from the sun and look stylish at the same time?! Plus these are currently 15% off. view ON AMAZON Or, you can grab this FuelRod MAX10 FuelRod MAX10 We seriously love the FuelRod Max 10!

The key features of the product include multiple charging ports, a lit battery life indicator on the side, a button to turn power off and on, multiple chargers for different charging ends, and MagSafe so you can magnetically charge your phone. If you’re a photo taker, map checker, and food orderer, this will come in handy. It’s also 13% off! view ON AMAZON Don’t forget about the FROGG TOGG Poncho Frogg Toggs Poncho Ah, the classic Frogg Togg Waterproof Poncho! It’s been raining every day in Florida lately, so you can never be too prepared. This poncho is waterproof and very breathable.

One of our favorite things to look out for at Disney World is cool and exclusive merch, and sometimes that comes in the form of fun specialty cups you can snag around the parks. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets Recently, an awesome new Muppets Cup dropped in Hollywood Studios, but when we went to grab one yesterday, we saw that they were gone after only ONE week. Let’s dive in! Back on August 1st, we snagged the all-new and adorable Muppets Beaker novelty cup. This was available at the new FØØD by Swedish Chef, located right next to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. You could grab this cup with the purchase of either the Pink Le-moi-nade or Pond Water Limeade. New Muppets souvenir! This cup was super cute, and the best part is that it came at no additional cost; if you bought one of these drinks, the cup came with it for the same price as the drink alone. When this Cup debuted, Disney did announce that it was only available while supplies last, but we expected that to be longer than just a week and a half. However, after speaking with a Cast Member, we found out that this cup did not actually sell out at all. The Muppet Beaker Cup Is No Longer On The Menu In fact, when the shipment of these cups came in, the Cast Members did not originally realize there was an error in production and NONE of the Muppets had any teeth. Unfortunately, once they realized the mistake, Disney decided to remove the option from the menu. And it seems like there are no plans for these cups to return any time soon. We love this cup! So, if this cup was on your list, hopefully you snagged it last week, because you just got a pretty rare souvenir! We really loved this Muppets cup, and we hope that Disney will bring this cup or one similar back in the future for fans to enjoy. We love this souvenir!

When it comes to Disney Cruises, there are certain things experts make sure they do as soon as they board… and make sure they DON’T do. Disney Wish From arriving at the port to souvenirs to what’s happening the rest of their voyage, these experienced passengers know what traps to avoid before even boarding their ship of choice. They Don’t Fly In the Morning of Their Departure For passengers who don’t live a short drive from their ship’s port-of-call – – those who need to fly or drive a long distance for that matter — it’s imperative to have an extra arrival day cushion and a hotel room nearby. After all, no one wants to miss their cruise because their flight’s 8:00 AM landing was delayed or traffic was inexorably backed up. Port Canaveral Try to Bring Prohibited Items Onboard Experienced Disney Cruise Line passengers know there is a relatively extensive list of items that are prohibited on Disney’s ships, and make sure to have any with them, lest they need to throw them away before boarding. This includes: Weapons & Firearms Marijuana & Illicit Drugs Blenders Bottle Sterilizers and Warmers Coffee Makers Coolers Diffusers Electric Blankets Electric Irons and Steamers Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) Extension Cords, Power Strips, Multi-Plugs, and Surge Protectors Ham Radios Heating Elements Heating Pads Hookah Pipes Hot Plates Metal Detectors Microwave Ovens Power Tools, Hand Tools, and Toolboxes Remote-Controlled Airplanes, Drones, Toy Vehicles, Star Wars Droids Rice Cookers Toasters and Toaster Ovens Seasonal and/or Strands of Celebratory Lightbulbs Streaming Devices (Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Roku, etc.) Port Canaveral In addition, while alcoholic beverages aren’t outright banned, they are heavily regulated. Disney Cruise Line Guests 21 years and older—or Guests 18 years and older on round-trip cruises from Singapore—may bring a maximum of one bottle of unopened wine or sparkling wine (no larger than 750 ml) or 6 beers (no larger than 12 ounces) on board at the beginning of the voyage. These beverages must be packed in carry-on (not checked) bags or luggage. They Don’t Try and Book Excursions that Day Whether it’s heading to the spa, going fishing, taking classes, or even exploring once you’re off the ship at different ports of call, excursions are some of the most fun you’ll have on your Disney voyage. However, as longtime cruisers know, anyone who thinks they can book their excursions the day they board the ship is in for a rude awakening. In actuality, most activities book up way beforehand. Eligibility to book is based on the following scale: First-Time Guests: 75 days prior to sail date Silver Castaway Club Members: 90 days prior to sail date Gold Castaway Club Members: 105 days prior to sail date Platinum Castaway Club Members: 120 days prior to sail date Pearl Castaway Club Members: 123 days prior to sail date Concierge Guests: 130 days prior to sail date. ©Disney To book reservations in advance, you can follow these steps! Log in to My Reservations. Go to the “My Plans” tab. Select the day you’d like to reserve an activity on your day-by-day itinerary. Select “Add Activities” and choose from the options provided. Once you’ve selected all your activities for that day, review your choices and add them to the cart. Repeat the same steps to add other activities on other days. Disney Cruise, here we come! Try and Shop Immediately Veteran cruisers know that the stores on board the ship don’t open until it has left port, so there’s no rushing to the souvenir shop immediately once on board. Relatedly, the shops are not open on disembarkation day, as the ship is already back at port by the time most passengers wake up. Treasures Untold Head to the Buffet Immediately While the shops may not be open, the buffet-style marketplaces (which are included in each sailing) sure are, and they get BUSY. Most experienced cruisers will skip the first hours of the journey, either grabbing food before boarding or ordering room service to hold them over until dinner. Marceline Market on the Disney Wish Cruise Ship They Skip the Elevators (If They Can) Speaking of crowded areas, the elevators are usually slammed with people heading to their cabins or exploring the ship on their first day. If they can, experienced passengers – – especially those familiar with the ship’s layout – – will use the stairs to maneuver their way around the ship. Stairs BONUS: They DO Unpack Most experienced Disney Cruise passengers unpack in their cabins and get settled in before sail away. This way they can enjoy their cruise without digging for belongings the whole time or living out of a suitcase, which is tougher in a cruise cabin than a hotel room. To the verandah! Whether your next Disney Cruise is your first, fifth, or fifteenth, be sure to keep in mind what NOT to do on your first day! Stay tuned to DFB for more sailing tips.

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is less than one week away, and that means that we’re getting prepared for a weekend FULL of Disney news. ©D23 One of the events we’re looking forward to the most is the D23 Disney Experiences Showcase, which is often where Disney announces some of the biggest news. In the past, we’ve heard tons of major Disney park news at this showcase, as well as other information that shapes Disney trips and vacations for the future, but it’s been a little hard to follow along when you’re not in person. While we’ve still got a few days to go until the actual event, Disney just released new information on what to expect, INCLUDING how you can watch from home WITHOUT a ticket to the event! The event will take place at 7 PM PT on Saturday, August 15th, and is officially called Horizons: A Carousel of Progress. In person, you’ll want to be at the Honda Center to see the announcements happen in person, but if you’re watching from home, you’ll be able to stream it live on Disney+ starting at that same 7 PM PT mark. ©Disney Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting the event, and he’ll be joined by the artists, storytellers, and creative leaders working to bring Disney’s new additions to the next level. We’ll get to see a series of conversations with Walt Disney Imagineering leaders and creative talent, interspersed with high-energy performances, special moments, and Disney magic. Disney has said these conversations will take the audience “on a journey through Disney’s unmatched storytelling legacy, the spirit of adventure at the heart of so many Disney stories, the remarkable creative process anchored by exploration and curiosity, and the bold promise of possibility that has guided Imagineers for more than seven decades.” ©Disney What exactly will we be seeing, though? Are we finally going to get updates on some of the new lands coming to Disney parks? Well, Disney has just revealed that we’ll be getting “project updates, first looks, new artwork and renderings, behind-the-scenes stories, creative insights, and a closer look at how some of Disney Experiences’ most ambitious projects are progressing.” That sounds promising! ©Disney Below is a list of the Imagineers and other creatives we know we’ll get to hear from during the event: Thomas Mazloum, Disney Experiences Chairman Bruce Vaughn, President and Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney Imagineering Ali Rubinstein, Senior Vice President, Global Creative & Development Studios Michael Hundgen, Vice President Creative, Walt Disney World Emily “Emo” O’Brien, Portfolio Creative Producer, Disneyland Resort and Tokyo Disney Resort Caroline May, Executive Creative Director, Walt Disney World Claire Weiss, Portfolio Creative Director, Disney Cruise Line Brent Strong, Executive Creative Director Chris Beatty, Portfolio Executive Creative Director, Walt Disney World Jason Grandt, Executive Creative Director, Walt Disney World ©Disney Not only will we be at the event in person to bring you all the latest news, but we’ll also be watching from home to make sure we don’t miss a single second.

Disney World restaurants have a wide range of options, and some may be more affordable than you think. Steakhouse 71 Stack Burger and Wedge Salad On one end you’ve got quick-service counters where you can grab a burger and fries without blinking, and on the other you’ve got signature restaurants where the tasting menu costs more than your park ticket. And somewhere in the middle is this wonderful, slippery category of restaurants that feel like a splurge but really aren’t. Here’s the thing about “affordable,” though — it’s totally subjective, especially at Disney World. What feels like a great deal to one family might feel steep to another, and that’s okay! We all have different budgets, different priorities, and different ideas of what’s “worth it”. So with that disclaimer in place, we rounded up 9 restaurants that give you way more bang for your buck than their ambiance, theming, or reputation might suggest. Akershus Royal Banquet Hall If character dining is on your must-do list but Cinderella’s Royal Table‘s price tag makes you wince, Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot’s Norway Pavilion is the move. You still get princesses table-side, you still get that “we’re dining with royalty” magic, but the price point is noticeably friendlier than its Magic Kingdom counterpart. It’s proof that you don’t have to break the bank to get the princess experience — you just have to know where to look. Princess Tiana at Akershus Grand Floridian Cafe The Grand Floridian Cafe is a masterclass in “fancy vibes, friendly prices.” You’re seated in one of the most elegant resorts on Disney property, surrounded by chandeliers and that unmistakable Victorian charm, and yet the menu has plenty of approachable options. Sandwiches, salads, and comfort-food classics sit right alongside pricier entrees, so you can dip a toe into Grand Floridian elegance without committing to a Grand Floridian bill. Grand Floridian Cafe Steakhouse 71 Steakhouse 71 at the Contemporary Resort is one of those restaurants where the name might scare off budget-conscious guests — but it shouldn’t. Yes, you can order a beautiful steak if that’s what you’re craving, but you can also order a burger that would feel right at home. The wide range of pricing on the menu means everyone in your party can order what fits their appetite (and their budget) without anyone feeling like they’re settling. Stack Burger Boathouse Similar story over at The Boathouse in Disney Springs. This waterfront restaurant looks and feels like a special-occasion splurge, with its vintage boat displays and lakeside views. But like Steakhouse 71, the menu spans from a solid burger to a serious steak or seafood dish. That flexibility means you can walk in for a casual bite or a celebratory dinner, and the restaurant will meet you exactly where you are, budget-wise. Yacht Club Sandwich The Plaza Restaurant The Plaza is a bit of a hidden gem tucked into Magic Kingdom, and it’s one of the most affordable table-service options in the entire park. It doesn’t get the hype of some of MK’s flashier restaurants, but that’s part of its charm — you get a sit-down meal, air conditioning, and a break from the crowds, all without the premium price of the park’s more famous eateries. The Plaza Restaurant Spice Road Table At Spice Road Table in Epcot’s Morocco Pavilion, you’re paying for shareable Mediterranean tapas — and that’s exactly what makes it feel like such a good value. Order a few small plates for the table, split them among your group, and suddenly that “expensive-looking” waterside restaurant with the gorgeous World Showcase Lagoon view feels a lot more reasonable per person than a plate of individual entrees would. Spice Road Table full spread Sebastian’s Bistro Sebastian’s Bistro at Caribbean Beach Resort has quietly become one of the best values in family-style dining. The prix fixe, family-style format means the whole table shares a spread of dishes for one set price, and lately that price has been notably more affordable than comparable family-style meals elsewhere on property. It’s an easy way to feed a group without stressing over individual menu prices. Taste of the Caribbean Platter The Polite Pig The Polite Pig in Disney Springs earned Michelin recognition — which sounds like the opposite of “affordable” — but it’s still a quick-service spot at heart. That means you get chef-driven, genuinely impressive barbecue without the table-service markup. It’s a rare case where the accolades outpace the price tag. Butcher Board Cake Bake Shop The Cake Bake Shop Restaurant is the wildcard on this list, because its affordability comes with an asterisk: go during lunch. That’s when the choose-two deal kicks in, letting you pair a soup, salad, or sandwich for a set price that’s a fraction of what you’d spend ordering dinner or a la carte. Time your visit right, and this favorite becomes a genuinely budget-friendly stop. French Ham & Brie Sandwich w/ Lemon Caesar Salad Choose Two At the end of the day, “affordable” at Disney World will always mean something a little different for every family and that’s exactly why it’s worth knowing which restaurants overdeliver on value.

It’s almost time for one of the best EPCOT festivals of the year, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. This festival is also one of the most popular because it brings the Eat to the Beat concert series to EPCOT, as well as a variety of foods and beverages, the Eat to the Beat concert series, fun activities, and more. 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival display That also means that if you visit the festival on certain days, you are inevitably going to face some SERIOUS crowds, but there is a way to avoid most of that. So we’ve put together a list of dates when you should avoid the festival, if you can. The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival starts on August 27th and runs through November 21st. You don’t have to buy a separate ticket to attend the festival, but you will need a valid park ticket to enter EPCOT. The festival is generally a lot of fun with SO MUCH great foods and drinks to try, but if you’re going, we suggest you avoid the following dates: August 27th — Opening Day The very worst day to visit the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is on the first day, which is August 27th. That’s because EVERYONE wants to check out the festival, plus many of us in the media are there to get you all the festival details, and you will run into long lines for pretty much every food booth. Crowds on opening day in 2025 If you can only avoid one day, this is the one you should avoid at all costs. Plus, we’ll be there to cover it for you, so you can sit at home and enjoy it from the comfort of your couch through us (plus, we’ll make sure you know which food and drinks are the best to get). August 29th — Opening Weekend Likewise, the first Saturday of the festival is generally very crowded because those people who couldn’t go on opening day due to work will be there on that first Saturday, when they’re off. It’s not QUITE as crowded as opening day, but it’s close. You’ll also run into crowds on opening day weekend So if you can, also avoid the opening weekend of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Weekends, in general If you can avoid weekends, that’s probably a good idea, too. Weekends are when a lot of locals visit the festival because, once again, they’re off work and they can pop into the parks each weekend to try something new. You’ll run into some crowds on Saturdays and Sundays. Most weekends are busy, too The best time to visit the festival is generally Mondays through Thursdays, although Fridays are usually not TOO busy. September 5-7th — Labor Day Labor Day weekend is always one of the most crowded weekends in Disney World. Many people have all three days off, which means they’re headed to Disney World to enjoy some downtime. That means lots of extra folks are also visiting EPCOT for the festival. Labor Day crowds in EPCOT If you can avoid visiting EPCOT during Labor Day weekend, your EPCOT Food & Wine Festival experience will be much less stressful. October 10th-12th — Indigenous Peoples’ Day Weekend Another long weekend for many people happens on October 10th through 12th, which is Indigenous Peoples’ Day Weekend. Three days off means more time in the parks, which also means more people in EPCOT. This is prime festival time right here! Indigenous Peoples’ Day in EPCOT The general rule of thumb is to avoid holidays and long weekends, if you can. November 11th — Veterans Day Speaking of holidays, Veterans Day falls on a Wednesday this year, and that’s probably going to be when many locals will visit EPCOT because they’ll have the day off from work (and many kids are out of school). So that could be one of the busiest weekdays you’ll see during the festival. Magic Kingdom So if you’re visiting Disney World that week, you may want to visit EPCOT on any other day than Wednesday. November 21st — Last day Finally, don’t visit the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival on the last day. This is when a lot of people head to EPCOT to enjoy the final day of the festival and squeeze in one last bit of eating and drinking around the food booths. So if you can visit the festival before that, well, that’s probably your best bet. EPCOT Food & Wine Festival crowds We hope this gives you a good idea of when to plan (and when not to plan) your trip to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. We’ll be covering EVERYTHING at the festival on day one, so stay tuned to DFB for all the details, food reviews, and more. 5 Bags Perfect for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, All Under $25 IT'S WINE & DINE TIME!

Changes are EVERYWHERE around Disney World right now — a brand-new hotel is being built near Magic Kingdom, the BoardWalk is welcoming new restaurants and stores, attractions are currently being updated, and new lands are being built around two parks! Piston Peak Construction While EPCOT has been on the quieter side of change lately, one of its pavilions in the World Showcase is preparing for some change! If past years are any indication, the Germany Pavilion is getting ready for some change — here’s what we know! The Germany Pavilion has actually been the “hub” of construction in EPCOT lately, with a majority of the Volkskunst store being closed, as well as the public bathrooms being covered by construction walls. If this is the change you think we’re talking about, think again — the Germany Pavilion will be getting ANOTHER change soon! Germany Bathroom Construction Fall is right around the corner, and with that season comes some specially themed treats! The treats for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party have been announced, so more fall treats won’t be too far behind!

Last year, we saw a few new items around mid-August, including the Bananas Foster Caramel, the Caramel Gourmet Pretzel, and the Caramel Pumpkin Butter Bar.

If you’ve ever visited Disneyland Paris, you know that getting from the airport to the park can be a little tricky sometimes, but there are usually numerous options available. Disneyland Paris You can take a magical shuttle to take you directly to the hotel you’re staying at, you can rent a car, or take public transportation, like the TGV highspeed train. If you’re traveling to Paris soon, though, there’s been a change in transportation you need to know about, as it’ll likely reroute your path to the park. For the next few weeks, one of the most popular ways to get to Disneyland Paris (and one of the easiest) is experiencing disruptions that are about to make your trip a little more difficult. When traveling with Île-de-France Mobilités, the public transportation system, you can usually get to Disneyland Paris by taking just one train. You’ll board an eastbound RER A train, remain aboard until the Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy stop, and find that you come out beside Disney Village, bringing you right near the entrances to both Disneyland Paris and Disney Adventure World. That’s not the case for the next few weeks, though. Mickey and Minnie in Disneyland Paris From August 8th through August 23rd, the RER A is interrupted from Noisy-le-Grand to Mont d’Est to Vincennes, meaning that you can’t get to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy unless you board at Noisy Champs, which is the stop just before Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy. Now, the Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station is still getting RER A trains from the east side of the interruption, but the problem for Disneyland Paris travelers comes in the middle of their journey. ©Île-de-France Mobilités So what should travelers do instead? Well, the recommendation from Île-de-France Mobilités is to take the RER A towards Boissy-Saint-Léger to Nogent-sur-Marne, then get on the replacement bus to Noisy-le-Grand – Mont d’Est, then take the RER A to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy. Note, though, that if you need to get back into Paris in the evening after your park day, you’ll want to allow for more travel time. The last train from Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy to reach Paris is at 11:14 PM. ©Île-de-France Mobilités We know this can seem stressful, so we recommend allowing more travel time than you typically would if you’re traveling this month. Again, this will only last through August 23rd, so there are only a few more weeks to go! More Recent Disneyland Paris News!

Disney World park hours usually stay pretty steady, but it’s incredibly important to check them before your trip anyway, because it IS possible for park hours to change unexpectedly. Hollywood Studios Sometimes the park hours change is due to a special party, such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which closes the park for non-party guests at 6 PM. If that was your day to head into the park and you didn’t check the hours first, you’ll likely find yourself disappointed that you don’t get a full day, even though you paid the same price as if you were getting one. Other times, the parks close early for no publicly stated reason, and that’s exactly why you won’t want to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on this ONE October day. If you’re planning a Disney World trip for October, you’ll want to take a close look at October 20th. While the park is usually open until around 9 PM each day, the park will be closing early at 5 PM. Disney has not revealed what the early closure is for, and it’s common that they often don’t disclose such information, so we’re not expecting to see an announcement. ©Disney These early closures are usually due to private events happening in the parks, which, as you can imagine, is quite expensive. However, we’ve seen large companies rent out the parks for a few hours in the past, and therefore it’s possible that’s what’s happening here as well. Based on past experiences, it’s our assumption that crowds around Hollywood Studios during operating hours will likely be lower than usual, as most people traveling in for their trips want to spend a whole day in the park. This means that for locals, or those who are more interested in lower crowds than having a full day in the parks, it’s a great day to visit. It also means that you can expect crowds to be higher at the other parks, most likely EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. Hey Buzz! The same principle applies throughout October 31st for Magic Kingdom during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and will also be true in both Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios during the holiday season this year. Both parks will close early on their respective party days for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, so planning around crowds does become more challenging.

We’ve got some bad news for those thinking of staying at Wilderness Lodge, because the resort has been having a pretty hard time for the past few months. Wilderness Lodge in Disney World Back in June, the AC in the entire resort shut down for a number of days. Yes, in the middle of summer — it was exactly as bad as you think it was. Now, part of the resort is facing yet ANOTHER major problem — the water is currently out in Boulder Ridge, and there’s no telling when it’ll be back up. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is located closest to Magic Kingdom, and is just a short waterway away from Disney’s Contemporary Resort. You’ll also find Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground not far away, yet it does often feel like you’re a bit separated from the rest of the resort. If you’re looking for a hotel that makes you feel like you’re in nature without actually BEING in nature, this is a great choice. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge However, the water in all of Boulder Creek, a section of the hotel that’s separate from the main building, has been off since Saturday night, and as of Sunday afternoon, still wasn’t back on. We overheard Cast Members talking about needing more buckets, which we’re assuming meant they’re giving guests buckets of water to use to flush the toilets in their rooms, and it was also mentioned that the showers by the Boulder Ridge pool are open to use, but showering in public is SO different than being able to shower in the privacy of your room. Wilderness Lodge While we were investigating, we also ran into a young man staying at the resort and watched as he circled the seemingly closed pool area, looking to get in to use the showers. We were able to connect him with a Cast Member, who did confirm the pool area is open for the showers, but it was closed for swimming due to inclement weather, so there were no lifeguards around. We could understand the hesitation of not wanting to just walk into a pool area that looked totally closed! Regardless, if you’re staying at the resort currently, even if the pool is closed due to inclement weather, the showers should be available for you to use while the water is out. Public bathrooms We also noticed that the bathrooms in the main lobby of Wilderness Lodge — NOT Boulder Ridge — were closed when we visited, but the ice machine was still up and running. This is certainly a very interesting, less-than-ideal situation, and we’re very curious to know if Disney will be offering guests any reimbursements or compensation for the unexpected issue. Closed bathrooms in the lobby We’ll be sure to keep you updated on this as we hear more, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!

We’re suckers for a lot of Disney merchandise; that’s a fact for sure, but sometimes we see something that really makes us stop in our tracks…for better or for worse. @disneyparks on Instagram With this newest release, we’ll be honest, we’re a little stuck in the middle. Disney just announced the arrival of Batuu Adventure Buddies at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Park, and the first one is none other than an adorable Ewok. There’s only one problem — what in the WORLD is going on with his teeth? The Ewok will be the first in the new Batuu Adventure Buddy collection, which will officially launch in Disneyland on August 13th, but don’t worry, he’ll be making his way to Disney World at a later date. You can find him at the Droid Depot, and more friends are on the way, which is all fine and dandy, but these TEETH?! Disney, what is happening? ©Disney From afar, it doesn’t look super noticeable. Don’t worry, we’ve done the work for you — let’s zoom in, shall we? ©Disney AHH! Yep, there they are. It’s a small detail, yes, but from the moment we first saw it, now it’s all we can see. However, we will admit that this little guy has a lot of fun functionalities that will likely distract you from the horror story that is those teeth. The Ewok is interactive and has expressive eyes, motorized facial expressions, and a mix of signature sounds, including giggles, laughs, and chatter to showcase its personality, and the other two coming to the collection have the same features. @disneyparks on Instagram The Ewoks can also interact with other droids built in the Droid Depot, which is quite impressive. If you tap a single time on its head or tap twice on its belly, you’ll get a random response, but three quick, consecutive head taps enable two special animations: the Endor Dance Party or the Forest Call Chain. Your buddy can also be further customized with optional accessories that are available for an additional fee inside the Droid Depot. The food, toys, and tools that come with the gear sets connect directly to your pal’s left hand and trigger unique animations, sounds, and reactions — they’re more than just for show! ©Disney We’re very excited these are also coming to Disney World, because despite the teeth, we’ve got a feeling they’ll be quite popular, especially with their interactive elements. No release date has yet been announced for the other two toys coming to the collection, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye out, so stay tuned to DFB! Disney Is About to Level Up the Snack Carts. How?

When we’re in EPCOT craving a snack, the Japan Pavilion is our go-to spot. Where else in Disney World can you get sushi, ramen, and boozy shaved ice all in one place? Tamago Sando We love the quick-service restaurant Katsura Grill for a quick and authentic Japanese meal, but recently, we saw a new menu item that stopped us in our tracks: Disney World now has egg sandos! Tamago Sando with Panko Fried Shrimp is $12 at Katsura Grill. This is a Japanese-style egg sandwich made of fluffy egg salad tucked into buttery brioche, finished with a sweet-and-savory tonkatsu sauce. Tamago Sando The bun is soft, but isn’t the ‘buttery brioche’ described on the menu. This is more like a hot dog bun in taste and texture. The egg filling is a firm, chopped texture throughout, not a creamy, smooth egg salad; think a chopped hard-boiled egg without much flavor. The panko-fried shrimp has a crisp, crunchy exterior with a soft shrimp center, and shrimp is the most prominent flavor of the sandwich. The sauce adds a balance of sweetness and tanginess in each bite. Tamago Sando If you love shrimp and savory seafood flavors, this sandwich is worth a try! It’s well-balanced with the shrimp and tangy sauce. However, this isn’t your traditional Japanese egg sandwich, so you might be disappointed if you’re expecting something more authentic. Tamago Sando We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all of the new food at Disney. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World food reviews! Wait, WHAT?!

You can only get one free appetizer per DVC Member a week, but if you’re already getting the drink, you’re saving $17. What a steal! Doesn’t this look delicious? The Half & Half appetizer is half guacamole verde, half toasted pumpkin seed “hummus”, jícama, and cucumber, served with tortilla chips. We’ve tried this before, and the pumpkin hummus was extremely creamy with lots of flavor and spice. While we thought the guacamole was good, it wasn’t super special. The Half and Half The pumpkin seeds, jalapenos, and onion on top add the perfect amount of flavor. The red salsa on the side had a great smokey flavor with a bit of spice while the green salsa was a bit spicer than the other options. Overall, we really loved the pumpkin hummus the most and if you like creamy, pumpkin flavors, you’ll love this! If you aren’t a huge fan of spice, steer clear.
