Y’all. It has been a super exciting week. First, we got a NEW DOLE Whip treat, which is always a great reason to celebrate…and eat more DOLE Whip. Then we found a brand new EXCLUSIVE popcorn mix in Disney Springs (and it really surprised us!). We also ate a skillet cookie, which is just the icing on top of the week.

Planning a trip to Disney World can be stressful, and you don’t need any more stress added to your plate once you get there, which is why you’ve probably already read over the “prohibited items” list several times just to be sure. Disney’s Hollywood Studios And because you were doing that, you might have missed some things that AREN’T on that list that you actually can bring to the parks! It may seem illegal to bring these things, but trust me, it’s perfectly fine and can actually save you some time and hassle during your park day! Outside Food & Drink One of the best money-saving tips for your Disney World vacation is to bring your own food and drinks from home. Theme park food can get very expensive, so if you’re okay with skipping out on some of the more iconic or adventurous Disney foods, you’re allowed to bring your own sandwiches, sports drinks, snacks, and more! Bring your chips! However, there are a couple of rules when it comes to bringing your own food — you cannot bring glass jars (unless it is baby food, that’s okay), and bringing alcohol is prohibited (unless you are bringing your own wine to select Disney Springs restaurants where corkage fees will apply). Disney Springs REVIEW: The Best Disney Popcorn Is HIDING at Disney Springs Water Bottles Along with bringing your own food and drinks, you can also bring your own water bottles, and we HIGHLY recommend you do! Around the parks and resorts, you can find refillable water stations with filtered water, so you’ll be hydrated wherever you go. Many quick-service restaurants also offer free cups of ice water if you ask, so not only will you be hydrated, but you’ll also be able to stay nice and cool. Ariel Owala Water Bottle I’m A Soda Goblin. Here’s What I Always Bring to Disney World Ice And if you’re bringing your own food and drinks, you’re going to need a way to keep them cold. You won’t be able to fill up a Disney merchandise bag with ice and bring it with you — loose ice is not allowed. But what you can do is fill up a resealable bag with ice and use it throughout the day. You can also bring two water bottles to the park — one for ice and one for drinking! Ice Machine This Disney World “Hack” Is Like Throwing $22 in the Trash Coolers & Cooler Bags And, of course, you’re going to need a place to carry all of your food, drinks, and ice, which is why you should bring a cooler! You won’t be able to bring a large cooler for a family of 12, but what you can bring is a smaller one that can even fit on your back like a backpack! Coolers must be less than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high, so before you go, make sure to measure! ©Amazon This $150 Personal Cooler Has One Feature That Could Literally Save You at Disney World Double Strollers Since wagon strollers are prohibited in the Disney parks, you may have assumed that double strollers are also not allowed, but that’s not the case! As long as your stroller is less than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long, it is okay to bring it into the park. Even if you only have one child, a double stroller can be a great way to carry other items! Strollers in Disney World 4 Controversial Rules Disney Is Enforcing in 2026 Animals This one comes with a stipulation — no, you cannot bring your pets to the Disney parks, but service animals are allowed. If you have a trained service animal, they are allowed to come with you to the parks, but there are rules for them too. If you want to bring your pets to Disney, there are actually pet-friendly hotels on Disney property, like Art of Animation, Fort Wilderness, and the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts! Disney’s Art of Animation You might be surprised by what you can bring to Disney World, but it’s always best to be prepared — look at the prohibited items list, ask a Cast Member, or read our posts because at DFB, we’re always giving you the latest Disney news, updates, tips, and tricks!

Your hands are full, your kid needs to use the bathroom, and your Disney World Resort Refillable Mug is somehow always in the way. Disney World Resort Refillable Mug If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, you know that mug becomes a permanent fixture of your park day, and juggling it alongside strollers, snacks, and souvenirs gets old fast. Small annoyances like this can chip away at an otherwise magical vacation, especially when you’re trying to move quickly between rides or grab a quick refill before the parade crowds hit. Luckily, there are a few simple tools seasoned Disney World visitors rely on to make trips smoother, and this one is a total game changer for anyone using the Dining Plan mug. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. The One Thing That Keeps Your Hands Free All Day Anyone who’s done a Disney trip with the Dining Plan knows the drill. You get your Refillable Resort Mug, you’re thrilled about the unlimited drinks, and then reality sets in. That mug has a handle, which means it doesn’t fit neatly into a backpack side pocket, and you end up either carrying it around all day or setting it down somewhere and hoping you remember to grab it before you leave.

That’s where the Dining Plan Refillable Mug Holder Sling comes in. ©Amazon It’s a small, lightweight holder that straps right onto your mug, so you’re not stuck carrying it in your hand for hours on end. The adjustable strap means it works for both kids and adults, so everyone in your group can carry their own mug without complaint. It also leaves more room on your tray at the quick service spots and helps prevent that awkward moment where your mug tips over right as you sit down to eat. ©Amazon One of the more convenient details is the RFID compatibility, which means you can refill your mug at the beverage station without even taking it out of the sling. That’s the kind of small convenience that makes a real difference by day three of your trip. Reviewers give it more than four stars, and at $15 for a pack of two, it’s an easy addition to your packing list. ©Amazon If you’ve ever found yourself annoyed at having to hold that mug through an entire meal or across the park, this is worth adding to your cart before your next trip. view ON amazon Disney World trips are full of little logistical hurdles, and honestly, most of them come down to keeping your hands free and your day moving. The mug sling is one of those accessories that doesn’t look like much until you’re actually using it, and then you wonder how you ever did a park day without it. It’s the kind of practical upgrade that doesn’t cost much but saves you real hassle, especially on multi-day trips where every bit of convenience adds up.

Disney World vacations have a way of knocking your normal routine sideways. Animal Kingdom You are waking up earlier, eating more expensive food, drinking less water than you think, and trying to accomplish 17 things before lunch. Your body, meanwhile, is still waiting for its usual coffee, breakfast, and quiet moment at home. All of these things can affect how your body reacts, which is why today, we’re talking about bathrooms! Changes in routine, stress, dehydration, unfamiliar foods, and ignoring the urge to use the bathroom can all affect your digestive system while traveling. It is common, uncomfortable, and considerably less magical than anything else you planned for the week. We’ve got eight simple ways to keep your Disney World trip moving in every sense of the word. Keep Part of Your Normal Routine Your vacation schedule probably will not resemble your schedule at home. At Disney World, morning routine can quickly become put on ears and sprint toward transportation. Depending on where you’re traveling from, you may even be dealing with some time zone changes, throwing things off even more! Still, try to preserve one or two familiar habits. Don’t just rush to the first bus in the morning. Eat around the same time. Drink your usual morning beverage. Give yourself a few quiet minutes before leaving the room. If your body is accustomed to having time at home after breakfast, waking up slightly earlier may be better than hoping everything sorts itself out somewhere between Space Mountain and lunch. Your digestive system appreciates a schedule, even when the rest of you is operating on Lightning Lane time. It’s Official: ALL Disney Bathrooms Need This New Feature Drink Water It is very easy to become mildly dehydrated at Disney World, particularly in hot, humid weather. You leave the room with coffee. You grab a soda with lunch. Then, sometime around 4 PM, you realize the only water you have consumed came from the ice melting in your drink. Staying hydrated helps keep stool softer, and water becomes especially important when you are also increasing your fiber intake. Keep an eye out for free water Bring a refillable bottle and drink throughout the day instead of trying to repair the situation with one heroic bottle of water before bed. Electrolyte drinks may also be useful when you are sweating heavily, though they should not completely replace regular water unless a medical professional has advised otherwise. Consider hydration part of your park strategy, right alongside sunscreen and knowing where the nearest snack stand is located. IYKYK: Why EPCOT Experts Go to THIS Restaurant for the Best Free Water Balance the Snacks with Something Useful Disney World offers many opportunities to consume cheese, fried food, cupcakes, and items containing enough butter to make a French chef nod approvingly. Enjoy them. This is vacation. Just try to include a few fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, or whole grains along the way. Apples, berries, oatmeal, whole-grain bread, vegetables, and similar foods can add fiber without turning lunch into a wellness retreat. Fruit stand Fiber helps keep things moving, but adding a lot all at once can leave you feeling uncomfortable. Ease into it and drink plenty of water so it can do its job. In other words, do not spend five days eating mostly chicken nuggets and then panic-eat an entire container of bran cereal. Your digestive system has already endured enough plot twists. The Biggest Snack Trends You’ll See at Disney World Restaurants in 2027 Give Breakfast a Chance to Work Its Magic Many people find that eating breakfast, drinking something warm, or having their normal cup of coffee helps get things moving. That does not mean you need an enormous breakfast every morning. A smaller meal with fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, or whole grains may be enough to maintain your usual rhythm. Coffee The important part is allowing time for breakfast to happen before you start powerwalking toward a bus stop. Food and warm drinks can stimulate the urge to use the bathroom, and rushing out immediately may cause you to ignore that window. This is also an excellent argument for sitting down with your coffee instead of drinking it while trying to apply sunscreen, locate a missing MagicBand, and referee an argument about who gets to push the elevator button. These Are the 13 Best Coffee Spots in Disney World – From Magic Kingdom to Riviera Resort Walking Keeps Things Moving The good news is that Disney World supplies plenty of physical activity. Walking can help encourage normal digestive movement, and regular physical activity is commonly recommended for preventing and relieving constipation. The less-good news is that guests sometimes ignore the urge to use the bathroom because they are in line, racing to a reservation, or convinced they can wait until they return to the hotel. Try not to do that. Justice for Eugene and Rapunzel You may not want to pause your park day but holding it repeatedly can make constipation worse. Use the restroom when your body gives you the notification. This is one alert you should not swipe away. And yes, sometimes that means telling the group to go ahead while you visit the Tangled restrooms. At least the surroundings are charming. A MAJOR Game-Changer Is Rolling Out at Disney World Bathrooms Set Expectations for Shared Bathrooms Sharing a hotel room means sharing a bathroom. This fact somehow surprises people every morning. You do not need to hold a formal family meeting with printed agendas, but it helps to acknowledge that everyone may occasionally need privacy and time. Bay Lake Tower bathroom Turn on the television or some music. Send your partner to refill the resort mugs. Take the kids for a walk around the building. Agree that nobody will pound on the door after 90 seconds unless there is an actual emergency. Bathroom to the right of the kitchen Some travelers also prefer using a restroom in the resort lobby or another common area when they want additional privacy. The goal is to remove some of the pressure. Feeling rushed or self-conscious will not make the process easier, particularly when four people are sharing one bathroom, and someone keeps yelling that they need their toothbrush. BREAKING BATHROOM NEWS: This Disney Change Will Make Your Trip 10x Easier Pack the Right Kind of Backup With a family sharing one bathroom, you’re likely to run into an unpleasant fact: bathroom odors. A small toilet deodorizing spray is an easy and clean way for a Disney hotel room to stay fresh. Look for a travel-size bottle that can remain in your toiletry bag and use it according to the directions. Shower and toilet You could also run the bathroom fan when one is available or turn on the room television for a little sound coverage. Nobody needs to be embarrassed about using the bathroom. Still, a pocket-size deodorizing spray can preserve a little mystery between you and the people you love. Fans Are Loving This Unexpected Disney World Bathroom News Think Ahead About Medications Some travelers pack fiber supplements, stool softeners, or over-the-counter laxatives. That may be appropriate for certain people, but a Disney vacation is not the ideal time to begin conducting digestive experiments. Before taking any medication or supplement, review the label carefully. Follow the listed instructions and warnings, and consult a health care professional or pharmacist when necessary, particularly if you take other medications, have an existing medical condition, are pregnant, or are choosing something for a child. EPCOT Restroom Different constipation products work in different ways, and stimulant laxatives are generally reserved for more severe constipation or cases where other approaches have not worked. Even products sold without a prescription can cause side effects or interact with other medications. Do not copy a dosage from a stranger online. Do not take several products together unless a medical professional has told you to do so. And do not wait until 10 minutes before boarding Guardians of the Galaxy to discover how your chosen product affects you. Will Disney World Finally Fix This Awkward Bathroom Problem in Its New Park Expansion?! A Little Planning Can Save the Day Bathroom problems may not be the most glamorous part of Disney vacation planning, but neither are blisters, sunburn, or realizing you forgot to pack underwear. We discuss those because preparation helps. Drink water. Eat something with fiber. Keep a little of your normal routine. Give yourself time, privacy, and permission to stop when you need a bathroom. And pack the deodorizing spray. Tub and toilet Your Disney World vacation should include memorable meals, excellent snacks, and perhaps a suspicious number of Mickey-shaped desserts. It should not include spending three days waiting for your digestive system to exit vacation mode.

There’s a NEW dining location coming to Disney’s BoardWalk, and we’re chomping at the bit to check it out! Disney’s BoardWalk Several businesses at Disney’s BoardWalk closed in the past few years, which has left a few locations available. Now, Disney is starting to fill in those spots, and we’ll be getting a NEW restaurant called Hurly-Burly! What do we know about it so far? Let’s break down everything. Location First, we know that Hurly-Burly is going to be located on Disney’s BoardWalk, but Disney hasn’t revealed the exact location yet. Our educated guess is that Hurly-Burly will take over the former home of Jellyrolls. The concept art looks similar to that venue, and based on what Hurly-Burly will offer, it would fit well. ©Disney However, there are two other potential locations. Big River Grille closed in early 2024 and hasn’t been replaced with anything new yet, and the Promenade Fine Art Gallery closed in 2025 and is currently still empty. Those spots aren’t as good of candidates, but they could work if they were completely transformed. What It Will Offer During the daytime, Hurly-Burly is going to be a family-friendly venue. Disney has noted that you’ll be able to enjoy games and activities with the whole family, including the kids. At night, there will be live entertainment, and it’ll only be open to those 21 and older. Old Jellyrolls location This reminds us of those lounges on Disney Cruise Line ships that are family-friendly spots during the day and transform into bars for adults only in the evenings. What’s On the Menu As the Disney Food Blog, you KNOW we’re interested in the eats available! When Disney announced Hurly-Burly, they stated that the menu would include “classic, coastal-inspired cocktails and light bites.” Shrimp Cocktail at Steakhouse 71 That was all the information we got, but that likely means there won’t be many full-scale meal options on the menu, which lines up with what most other Disney World lounges offer. Maybe we’ll get some seafood options? Or some signature drinks? We’ll let you know as soon as the menu is announced! Theme and Timeline One big bit of information that has been revealed is that Hurly-Burly will open in late 2026 at the BoardWalk. No specific month or date has been revealed yet. The space is going to be inspired by the turn of the century to match the theme of the BoardWalk overall. It’s going to be so fun! Disney’s BoardWalk We’ll make sure to keep you updated as we get more information about Hurly-Burly. We can’t wait to check it out! See All the Hurly-Burly Info As It’s Released Here!

Universal Orlando, like all theme parks, isn’t immune to ride technical difficulties. Sometimes, it’s just one ride that has issues, but on other occasions, though rarer, there are times when entire power outages affect multiple parts of the park. Universal Orlando Yesterday, a power outage at Universal Orlando left about 70 riders stranded inside an attraction that many people wouldn’t assume to be one that needs intense evacuation measures, but alas, harnesses, ladders, and safety ropes were needed to rescue the guests. One of the guests on the ride was interviewed regarding the experience, saying that the ride jerked suddenly, and then Team Members began repeating the same message over and over. She continued, saying, “It didn’t feel like things were being communicated in a well manner, it was just the same thing over and over again, like, ‘Hey, we’re gonna get it fixed ASAP.’ Eventually it was, ‘Oh, the ride may continue at any moment,’ and then it turned into, ‘OK, we’re just gonna get you guys out of there.'” Universal No other rides were reported as needing to be evacuated with help from the fire department during the outage. It’s important to note that there’s no telling what rides or attractions will go down, and that it’s possible on any of them that an unexpected issue could occur while riding.

The MyDisney Experience app is an essential part of your Disney World vacation. Cinderella Castle This app is home to everything you will need on your Disney vacation. It holds your hotel reservation and park tickets, can help you make dining reservations, Mobile Order food, and so much more. We really recommend downloading the app before your vacation and learning it so you are prepared! We’re bringing you 5 new changes that the app has seen recently and how it could affect your trip. 1. Changing the Language Back in May, Disney promised a Spanish-language version of My Disney Experience, and it has finally been rolled out. Before the rollout of this feature, most Spanish-language speakers had to use tools like Google Translate to navigate around the app. ©Disney Right now, most pages of the app are available in Spanish, but both Mobile Order and Mobile Checkout are still only available in English. It’s probably only a matter of time before Disney updates those pages, too, though. The feature is rolling out to phones, so you might not see it yet, and the app will only be translated if your phone settings are set to Spanish. However, it’s another app update that plenty of folks have been waiting for, so navigating both Disney World and Disneyland just got a little bit easier. ©Disney 2. Always Check Walk-Up Options Recently, we noticed that both GEO-82 and the Beak and Barrel finally added walk-up lists to each lounge! This means it would be easier to experience each dining option, which previously required reservations to experience. Sadly, it was short-lived. Disney quickly removed the option from the app. This leads us to believe that this feature is coming in the future, but it wasn’t quite ready to be launched. The Beak and Barrel 3. Save Gift Cards to MDE Previously, if you wanted to use a gift card to pay for something through the My Disney Experience app, you’d have to manually add in the gift card number every time you wanted to use it. That’s why we’ve previously suggested saving the gift card number in a notes app so you can copy and paste it into My Disney Experience. Gift Card! Now the app allows you to add Disney gift cards as your default payment method. Here’s how it works: Click on the three lines on the far right bottom of the My Disney Experience app screen. Scroll down and choose MyDisney Wallet under “Account” Click on “Add a Payment Method” Choose Disney Gift Card Type in the 16-Digit gift card number and details Click on “Save payment card information to MyDisney Wallet” Click on “Confirm.” Grab your Gift Cards on sale! 4. More to Come This Year Disney and AccuWeather are teaming up to launch the Disney Weather Check powered by the AccuWeather mobile app.” This new app addition allows access to real-time weather updates and location-specific notifications. The integration is available to those visiting Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort. ©AccuWeather The app’s search feature will be improved via AI, which will allow guests to interact with it using conversational tones and wording, as opposed to simply typing in searchable keywords. This can be especially helpful for first-time guests who may not be explicitly familiar with official names and terminology. My Disney Experience app ©Disney 5. Be Aware Before Mobile Ordering The My Disney Experience app has restricted mobile ordering at certain locations. There are now four popular Disney World restaurants that don’t allow mobile ordering unless you’re physically at the restaurant! Here’s the full list: Gasparilla Island Grill at the Grand Floridian Resort Capt. Cook’s at the Polynesian Village Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary Resort Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge Capt. Cook’s Currently, if you try to mobile order using the My Disney Experience at these four restaurants, the app shows an error message that says “You’re too far away,” and prompts you to move closer to the restaurant to place a mobile order. Once you’re near the restaurant, usually around the resort in general, you can still place a mobile order like normal. You can still mobile order like usual in all four theme parks and at other resort quick-service spots not listed! Geyser Point Bar & Grill We monitor these changes to the Disney World app — big and small so that you can use them on your next vacation.

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Disney mystery boxes. Whether it’s pins, collectibles, or anything in between, the idea of trying to collect them all is so enticing that the moment a new mystery box is announced, we’re already grabbing our credit card. Trash cans in Disney World are iconic for a reason! This new collection combines two of our favorite things — Disney trash cans and mystery collectibles. Yes, Series 2 of the beloved Disney Parks Trash Can Mystery Series is online right now, and we suggest grabbing them sooner rather than later, because we have a feeling they’re going to be VERY popular. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Collect Your Own Mini Disney Trash Cans! ©Disney Series 2 of the Disney Parks Trash Can Mystery Vinyl Collectible Figures is now available on the Disney Store website! There are six different designs available, and while one of them is a complete mystery, the other characters represented are Mickey, Minnie, Donald, R2-D2, and Belle. ©Disney Your box will contain one of the six trash cans, and the goal is to collect them all! Well, that’s our goal, but maybe your goal is just to have one of them, and we love that too. At this time, we haven’t spotted them in the parks just yet, and there’s been no word from Disney on whether they will or won’t arrive there. If you know you want to start collecting, we recommend beginning to grab them online, rather than waiting for them to arrive in the parks, just in case that day doesn’t come. Grab them online!

2026 has already seen A LOT of changes at Disney World — from the opening of the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets to the closure of the Carousel of Progress for a massive reimagining — and August will be no different, especially at some of Disney World’s restaurants. Steak Frites From the effects of special events to ongoing construction projects, those planning a trip to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” should be aware of what’s going on with the resort’s eateries next month. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Planning Let’s begin in the Magic Kingdom, where the 2026 edition of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off on August 7th, with further dates on the 11th, 14th, 18th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 28th, and 30th.

In other words, plan for a lunch or early dinner. Malva Pudding Cake at Skipper Canteen Every SOLD OUT Date For Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Eat to the Beat Crowds Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party isn’t the only popular event to kick off in August, as the 27th also sees the start of EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, including its Eat to the Beat Concert Series. The Beach Boys at Eat to the Beat 2025. If you’re planning on eating at an EPCOT restaurant during the festival — itself not a given thanks to the festival’s large selection of food booths — be aware that they may be crowded with Eat to the Beat crowds taking advantage of the Eat to the Beat Dining Package offerings. 2025 Coastal Eats Booth These packages — which became available on July 16th — include: An entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (where applicable)—as well as a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older) and participating restaurants, outside of Spice Road Table, where guests get 2 small plates, a shared dessert platter and a nonalcoholic beverage (or alcoholic beverage for Guests 21 and older). One guaranteed seat per person to one Eat to the Beat concert on the same day, meaning that this is the ONLY way to get guaranteed seating to the most in-demand concerts. Eat to the Beat All of that can be a lot to sort through. That’s where 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! 3 NEW Restaurants, Attraction Overhauls, and Food and Wine Festival Updates — Every Major Disney Announcement You Missed Hotel Roundup Moving on to Disney World’s hotels, the Turf Club Lounge at Saratoga Springs Resort will reopen in August after a month-long refurbishment. Then, the Turf Club Patio will be briefly closed from early through mid-August, and finally, the Turf Club Bar & Grill will be closed from August to September, with the aforementioned Turf Club Lounge remaining open. Turf Club Bar & Grill Over at the Yacht Club Resort, the Yachtsman Steakhouse, the resort’s popular New England-themed eatery, is scheduled to reopen in August following a closure and refurbishment that began earlier this spring. Yachtsman Steakhouse The Grand Floridian Cafe — located at the Grand Floridian Resort (shocking, we know) — is closing for refurbishment in July and will remain closed through October, meaning it’ll not be available at all in August.

Unlock a whole new world of Disney World snacking possibilities with our beloved plastic cheese! Mickey Pretzel If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ve probably heard about our unbreakable bond with plastic cheese, which is what we affectionately call those little cups of cheese sauce you can find at some quick service spots around Disney World. It’s typically priced around $1 at the spots that have it, and trust us when we say it can SERIOUSLY level up some of the most popular Disney World snacks! Before we get started, let’s clarify a few questions we hear when the topic of plastic cheese comes up. First, this is NOT the same as the cheese sauce that you get prepackaged when you buy a Mickey pretzel — it has a richer cheesy flavor and it’s usually served warm instead of the cold and sometimes congealed texture of the prepackaged cheese dips. You can find the “real” plastic cheese at select quick service restaurants around Disney World. Plastic Cheese from Backlot Express Also, of course, the cheese isn’t actually plastic! That’s just the nickname that we came up with because it looks so smooth and fake once it’s been poured into the serving cup. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s take a look at five Disney World snacks that seriously become 10 times better when paired with plastic cheese! Corn Dog Nuggets from Casey’s Corner We have to start off with one of our FAVORITE plastic cheese snack pairings — the Corn Dog Nuggets at Casey’s Corner! The Corn Dog Nuggets are classic comfort food. Plus, they hit the sweet spot where they can either be a hearty snack if you need something to hold you over, OR a meal in themselves if you’re looking for something on the lighter side! Casey’s Corner Corn Dog Nuggets The Corn Dog Nuggets don’t automatically come with plastic cheese, BUT you can get it at Casey’s Corner as an add-on for just $1 more! And trust us, we consider that one of the best dollars we can spend in Disney World. Plastic cheese is the perfect pairing to balance out the texture of the cornbread, plus add an extra kick of flavor to take this snack up a notch! French Fries A longtime theme park staple, you’ll find plain French fries on the menus of lots of quick service spots around Disney World. Some places also offer loaded fries that we LOVE, like the Black Garlic, Truffle, and Parmesan Fries, which are available at several different parks. The loaded fries typically have plenty of toppings for us as-is, but it’s a different situation entirely when it comes to their plain counterparts! Black garlic, truffle, and parm fries The plain fries at Disney World are pretty basic in terms of flavor and preparation. In other words, they’re perfectly “fine,” but they tend to benefit from the extra flavor of a dipping sauce to really take them home. That’s why you’ll find us reaching for the plastic cheese ASAP when we’ve got an order of plain French fries on our plate! We love you, plastic cheese! Many quick service restaurants offer a condiment bar with free dipping sauce options like ketchup or BBQ, depending on the location. But if there’s a cup of cheese on the menu, we don’t mind spending the extra $1 to up our French fry dipping sauce game! Mickey Pretzel One of the most iconic Mickey-shaped snacks around Disney World is the famous Mickey pretzel! As we mentioned before, Mickey pretzels are typically served with a cup of prepackaged cheese dip, which is different from the “real” plastic cheese! It can serve in a pinch if you’re just looking for something to cut through the dryness of the pretzel. But if you REALLY want to up your Mickey pretzel experience, we think it’s worth stopping by a restaurant for a cup of plastic cheese, especially if it’s available nearby! Mickey Pretzel In more exciting cheese news, some of the “fancier” pretzels around Disney World are served with a side of beer cheese, like the pretzel nuggets at Block & Hans in EPCOT, which is one of our favorite hidden gem snacks! Pretzel Nuggets with Beer Cheese Speaking of cheese upgrades, the beer cheese that comes with the pretzel nuggets is fairly small, so we usually pay for an extra side of it when we snag this snack! Pizza Planet Spring Rolls When the new snack stand in Toy Story Land opened, we were THRILLED to see that this spot finally brought the Spring Roll Party to Hollywood Studios with the Pizza Planet Spring Rolls! These are similar to the Pepperoni and Cheese Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom, and come with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Pizza Planet Spring Rolls The marinara sauce obviously pairs well with the pizza-inspired spring rolls. But, out of curiosity, we decided to swing by Woody’s Lunch Box next door for a cup of plastic cheese, and we actually loved the flavor combo with the pizza spring rolls! If you’re looking to switch things up, give it a try and let us know if you enjoyed it as much as we did! House-Made Chips at Dockside Diner Rounding out our list, we’ve got another Disney’s Hollywood Studios snack pairing, with the House-Made Potato Chips at Dockside Diner! These are crunchy, well-seasoned, and a great way to get your potato chip fix without opting for a standard bag of Lay’s that you can get at home. But if you really want to amp these chips up, add a cup of cheese! House-made chips Dockside Diner typically has plastic cheese on tap, and this is another case where we think it’s well worth the $1 to take these chips from great to amazing! Plastic Cheese! If you’re as much of a plastic cheese enthusiast as us, welcome to the club, here’s your unofficial uniform! We’ve got a Plastic Cheese Shirt available on the DFB Store to help you rep your love of this undeniable Disney icon.

Once a Cast Member told us about this one item, we never looked back! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. It’s not a shock that a popular recommendation for a park bag essential is a portable charger. With the amount of time you spend in the Disney parks, paired with using your phone for videos and photos and using the MyDisney Experience app, your phone battery is going to run out quick! You don’t want to be stuck in the parks without a charger, so that’s why the FuelRod Max 10 is the perfect solution. Get the FuelRod Max 10 Here! Charging magnetically! This is a HUGE Fuel Rod portable charger that’s been completely revamped from the form we once knew. We’ll be completely honest, at $65 for the initial kit, it’s pretty expensive. However, the huge advantage here is that you can swap it for free at Disney World, so you’re never without power. 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, MagSafe so you can magnetically charge your phone, and swappable for FREE at Disney World. FuelRod MAX10 It’s beefy; both in charge and capability. It’s got a lot more power and potential than its previous standard round rod model, and that makes it worth the investment. It’s good to use anytime of day, on multiple devices, can be easily swapped for another with a full charge, and even used when it’s raining magnetically, without the fear of ruining your charging port or expensive cord. Magnetic charging included There are a couple of things that took some getting used to! It’s bulky when you’re using it to charge magnetically. Small hands may struggle to use their phone while it’s connected. It’s also slower to charge magnetically than plugged in, and its heaviness doesn’t make it pocket-friendly. Side button We give this a 4.5 out of 5, only because of the bulkier, heavier feel, which is practically unavoidable but still not ideal. That being said, 4.5 out of 5 is pretty dang great! It seriously lasts us so long (and we go through an insane amount of battery on our phones taking pictures and videos of everything), and we love the ability to switch it out for free at Disney. view 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!

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is now open at Downtown Disney, and it’s already super popular. Not only is it a brand-new, one-of-a-kind concept by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, but it’s every Disney fan’s dream, with an outdoor terrace featuring great views of the fireworks. Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips So it’s really no surprise that all reservations until the end of September were snatched up within 15 minutes of the booking launch. But if you also lost the OpenTable War trying to get a reservation there, then today is your lucky day. It just got easier to dine at The Carnaby! After selling out initial reservations through September, Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby has now increased its nightly dining capacity, expanded dinner hours, and released new reservations as part of its phased opening. You can reserve these newly released tables right now for dates through December 30th, 2026, on both OpenTable and the restaurant’s website. Beef Wellington Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is now open nightly for dinner from 4 PM to 10 PM, adding an extra half hour from the previous 4:30 to 10 PM hours. Reservations are open for nearly every day until the end of the year at every hour and half hour. They also accept walk-ins, which should be successful with their increased availability, but The Carnaby still strongly recommends advance reservations. Parker “The excitement surrounding The Carnaby has exceeded even our highest expectations,” said Robert Earl, founder of Earl Enterprises, which is a co-owner of The Carnaby in collaboration with Gordon Ramsay. “Seeing initial reservations sell out within minutes affirmed what we believed from the beginning: guests were ready for a dining experience unlike anything else at Downtown Disney. As we thoughtfully expand capacity, we’re excited to welcome even more guests while maintaining the exceptional hospitality and culinary experience that define The Carnaby.” Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby If you’re headed to The Carnaby for dinner, we strongly recommend the Parker Rolls for a starter, which are warm and fluffy brioche rolls. The Beef Wellington is famous for a reason, and it was utter perfection! As for side dishes, the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese was thick and creamy with a strong smoke flavor. And to finish with dessert, the Sticky Toffee Pudding is a warm, decadent must-have!

There’s a reason you sleep better at Disney World than you do at home, and it’s not just the exhaustion from 20,000 steps a day — it’s the pillows. Pillows Disney hotels invest serious money in bedding that actually supports a good night’s sleep, and once you’ve experienced it, your own pillows at home start to feel like a punishment. The good news is that the exact hospitality-grade pillows used in hotels across the country are now available on Amazon! Here’s what you need to know before you add these to your cart. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. The Pillow That Explains Why Hotel Sleep Hits Different ©Amazon You know that specific kind of deep, uninterrupted sleep you only seem to get on vacation? A lot of that comes down to pillow construction, not just being tired from the parks. Cheap pillows flatten out fast and leave side sleepers without any real neck support by the middle of the night. The Sobel Westex Sobella Hotel Pillow Standard Size is built to solve exactly that problem. It’s filled with hypoallergenic, extra-fine gel fiber in a 300 thread count cotton cover, and the medium-high loft holds its shape under the weight of your head so your neck stays aligned all night. Sobel Westex supplies pillows to more than 3 million hotel and resort beds across the country, so if this pillow feels familiar, that’s because you’ve probably slept on it already! view ON amazon You’re Sleeping Wrong If You Only Own One Pillow ©Amazon Here’s a scenario a lot of us know too well: one pillow is fine, but two pillows change everything, especially if you like to prop yourself up or switch positions throughout the night. That’s where the Sobel Westex 2 Pack Sobella Standard Size comes in handy. This set gives you the same lofty, hypoallergenic gel fiber fill and 300 thread count cotton cover in a low-profile design that’s especially comfortable for stomach and back sleepers. It’s also machine washable, which matters more than people realize until they’re dealing with a pillow they can’t actually clean. And having a matching pair also just makes your bed look more put together, which is a nice bonus! view ON amazon This Is the Upgrade Tall Sleepers Didn’t Know They Needed ©Amazon If you’ve ever slept in a king bed and immediately noticed how much better the pillows felt, there’s a reason for that too. Bigger pillows mean more surface area, more support, and way less shifting around during the night. The Sobel Westex King Size Sobella Pillow brings that same hospitality-grade comfort to a larger format. The medium-high loft resists compression, so you’re not stuck dealing with a flat, lifeless pillow by 2 AM. It’s especially worth considering if you and a partner share a bed and want a little extra room to stretch out. view ON amazon At the end of the day, good sleep makes everything else easier, including surviving a full day of Disney World lines and Florida heat. These Sobel Westex pillows bring that hotel-quality comfort home, so it’s always a good time to grab one!

A popular Disney Springs dessert shop is turning 10 years old! While Gideon’s Bakehouse only opened its Disney Springs location in 2021, the local chain started in 2016 at East End Market. Gideon’s Bakehouse So to celebrate the special anniversary, Gideon’s Bakehouse is having some limited-edition baked goods and merch available exclusively at its East End location on Sunday, July 19th! The owner of Gideon’s Bakehouse, Steve Lewis, took to the bakery’s social media accounts to announce the heartfelt anniversary. “This Sunday at 10am we’ll be celebrating 10 years of Gideon’s making its first public appearance. If you know the story, after selling cookies out of my kitchen for 8 years, I had my first pop-up at the East End Market on 7/19/2016 and never left! I was working at the mall and trying to pull myself out of the long struggle from losing everything, and East End saved me. The community around East End supported me. And because of you, Gideon’s sparkled from the shadows. We have stayed local, turning down every offer to nationalize. I’m still a single-owner with no investors. We’ve grown to a 200+ team. We’ve raised funds for cats, bats, turtles, owls, sharks, bees, and wolves. We’ve weathered pandemics, egg prices, hurricanes. It’s been a ride that has brought so many laughs and tears.” Gideon’s Bakehouse East End location To commemorate the tenth anniversary of Gideon’s Bakehouse, an exclusive cake slice will be featured on the menu only at the East End Market location on Sunday, July 19th! The Holy Trinity Cake is made with a layer of chocolate cake, a layer of Lewis’ family cheesecake, and a layer of cookie cake, covered in marshmallow buttercream. ©Gideon’s Bakehouse But that’s not all – the East End Market location will offer the following merch available exclusively on Sunday, July 19th: Gideon’s 10th Anniversary Oversized Pin Limit of two per person Gideon’s 10th Anniversary T-shirt Mugs by Amber, with many to choose from Limit of one per person 10th Anniversary Oversized Pin ©Gideon’s Bakehouse All of these items are only available at East End this Sunday. If any merch is left over, it will be sold online later in the week on the Gideon’s Bakehouse website. Additionally, Steve Lewis, the owner of Gideon’s Bakehouse, will be at the East End location until 10 AM on Sunday. Steve Lewis We’ll be sure to update you on more Gideon’s Bakehouse events.

Lorcana is a super popular Disney-themed trading card game. Your favorite Disney heroes and villains are being attacked, and it’s up to you to save them! The game features iconic Disney characters like Mickey and Friends and princesses, but has expanded to include recent hits like Monsters, Inc. and Turning Red. We love Lorcana! But Lorcana is so popular that it’s causing chaos at in-person events. The Lorcana pre-release at Disney Springs yesterday was so popular that the police were called in for crowd control, and the hours-long line was so long that we saw someone ordering DoorDash to keep their spot. But somehow, the Lorcana pre-release in London, England, yesterday was even MORE crowded! The Disney Store on Oxford Street in London is the only Disney Store in England, so with a rare Lorcana drop, crowds were expected. But what Disney wasn’t prepared for? A line to start forming at 5 PM the night before the store opened at 9 AM! About 600 people were in the line by the store’s opening, according to The Standard, which snaked for almost half a mile. © @itsamecooper via The Standard According to multiple eyewitnesses, the situation escalated early Friday morning when large groups of scalpers stormed the queue, pushing and shoving to get to the front. Scalpers, people who buy high-profit items for resale, have been targeting Lorcana recently. Popular and rare editions of Disney’s Lorcana cards retail for £100 at the Disney Store, but are already being sold on eBay for £650. Lorcana cards One Lorcana fan there told The Standard that a group of at least 100 scalpers “descended” on the queue, coming in from all sides as they pushed to get to the front. “They were obviously fighting between themselves. One was trying to get in through the front of the Disney Store. Another had stolen the tickets [from Disney Store staff] and was handing them out to his friends,” she said. “It was quite frightening. It was chaos. Any order was completely gone. They ruined what could have been an amazing experience.” © @itsmecooper Tickets for the pre-release were scheduled to be distributed at 7 AM, with the store opening at 9 AM. But after the chaos caused by the scalpers, Disney canceled the Lorcana event via a Facebook post. The Lorcana pre-release would no longer take place, and the Disney Store had a delayed opening later that morning. ©Disney The statement read: “The safety of our Guests, Cast Members and the local community is always our highest priority, and following the disruption outside the Oxford Street store overnight, we made the decision, alongside local authorities, to open later than usual this morning. As a result, today’s planned in-store release of the Disney Lorcana Curator’s Collection: Heroines Edition will no longer take place. We know how disappointing this is for our fans, and we sincerely apologise to those affected. We are working internally to review the process for future in-store launches.” ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep you updated on future Lorcana events. After the high demand this weekend, our team of Disney experts is confident that the process will change soon. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney news!
