D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is coming up THIS week, and that means we are ready to celebrate all things Disney with Disney and other Disney fans. This event is jam-packed with SO much to see and do, including a LOT of shopping, as well as a ton of booths, exhibits, celebrity appearances, and panels. Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Now, one panel we’re REALLY excited about is the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase on Saturday night, which is where we’ll learn more about what’s coming to the theme parks and Disney Cruise Line. Speaking of theme parks, we think we’re going to hear a LOT more about everything happening in Disney World, so we’ve got some predictions about what big Disney World announcements we’ll get during this panel. Disney Villains Land Rides There are a LOT of questions remaining about the Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom, and we’re really hoping to get some answers. One of the biggest questions has to do with what the rides in the land might be like. We’ve got the initial concept art, but there have been rumors that Disney has decided to go in a different, more family-friendly direction with rides. Since Disney has been pretty quiet about the area, we’ll be thrilled to know what they’re working on. ©Disney We’re hoping to get some clarification on what rides in the Villains Land might be like. Plus, it would be really nice if Disney would give us the name for this new land! Piston Peak opening timeline and more ride details Construction on Piston Peak, aka the Cars expansion in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland, is well underway, and we’ve been following its progress. We’d really like an idea of when the new expansion might open, so we think Disney might give us an opening timeline announcement. ©Disney We’re also hoping that we get more ride details. We know there will be two rides in the expansion: a rally race ride and a slower-paced, family-friendly Cars-themed attraction. That’s not much to go on, though. So we could get some ride names and more details at the D23 panel. Monstropolis opening timeline and attraction details Construction for Monstropolis is also well underway in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so we’re hoping that we’ll get an announcement about an opening timeline for the new land. However, we also still don’t have a ton of details about the ride’s roller coaster, which is based on the doors scene in the first Monsters, Inc. movie. The ride will be the first suspended roller coaster in Disney World, so we might learn more about that, too, and even get the ride’s name. ©Disney Another detail we have next to NO details about is the show going into the Glob Theater, which we can see on concept art, so we’re expecting to learn more about that. Puebla Esperanza opening timeline and ride details Yep, a LOT is going on in Disney World right now. Dinoland, U.S.A. started closing in phases in early 2025 to make way for Puebla Esperanza construction, so it’s already been a while since Disney broke ground on the new land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. If we get any opening timelines for new lands in Disney World, we bet this is the one we’ll get. Overview of Pueblo Esperanza coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom We also think we’ll learn more about the land’s three new rides: a carousel, an Encanto-themed ride, and a new Indiana Jones ride. More ride updates Disney has been busy updating a lot of rides, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. Carousel of Progress is getting a complete overhaul soon. We believe Disney might announce some more ride updates (and our wishful thinking has us begging for that big Spaceship Earth update we were once promised that never happened). Spaceship Earth needs an update So we’ll be looking out for some ride update announcements during the Experiences panel, too. We’ll be covering EVERYTHING at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

We’re gearing up for one of the biggest Disney events out there! D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Coming up this weekend is D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and it’s going to be HUGE. This multi-day offering includes a variety of panels and showcases where you can get the latest Disney news and behind-the-scenes info, as well as a showroom floor where you can shop, check out interactive exhibits, and just enjoy being a fan! We can’t wait to go! And while you’re there this weekend, there’s a new merchandise collection that we’re sure will be quite popular. If you’re hoping to do some shopping at D23, the biggest place to stop is Mickey’s of Glendale. Disney says, “Named after its original home in Glendale, California, Mickey’s of Glendale is the Walt Disney Imagineering campus store, with exclusive merchandise assortments, pins, and more products made for Imagineers, by Imagineers.” This year, the pop-up shop will be featuring multiple new collections! ©D23 Disney has dropped teasers for the FINAL collection for Mickey’s of Glendale in 2026, and it’s all about Imagineering! This is the Walt Disney Imagineering Pavilion collection. The items all say “Imagineering: Horizons” which is also the name of the Disney Experiences showcase that’s happening Saturday night. ©Disney The sneak peek shows off a themed glass and a matching hat with the logo for the showcase, as well as a t-shirt. There are also magnets and collectible pins not pictured. Disney describes it by saying, “The collection draws from the design language of the 1964 New York World’s Fair, early Tomorrowland architecture and graphics, and classic attractions like Carousel of Progress. It has a vintage, storied feel that will resonate with Disney fans of all ages from across the globe, which seems perfectly aligned with an event like D23 2026.” ©Disney The t-shirt is the most intriguing item of the bunch, with artwork of future and ongoing projects plastered on the back. Are these the projects we’ll get to see at the Imagineering Pavilion during D23? Or perhaps the ones we’ll learn more about during the Disney Experiences showcase? We’ll have to wait and see! Some of the projects pictured include Space Mountain’s overhaul at Tokyo Disneyland, Monstropolis at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and The Lion King-themed attraction coming to Disney Adventure World. ©Disney Along with this collection, Disney revealed the Horizons Collection, which includes a t-shirt, mug, and postcard set. We love the Sorcerer Mickey artwork on this one! ©Disney We can’t wait to check out all of these offerings at D23 this weekend! The Imagineering Pavilion and Disney Experiences showcase often feature some big news for Disney Parks fans around the world, and we know that these merchandise items are going to be POPULAR for fans who want to commemorate their visit to D23.

When it comes to room service, there are only two locations at Disney World that offer it. That may come as a surprise, since for many guests, room service is an essential element of a hotel stay, arguably more of a basic necessity than a “perk.” It’s a beautiful resort! Disney’s flagship resort, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, offers room service — or “private dining options” — from both breakfast and dinner menus. However, that Deluxe Tier Resort isn’t our focus today. Rather, we’re looking at the other hotels where room service is available on Disney property: The Swan & Dolphin. Before we continue, an important caveat: While the Swan & Dolphin are on Disney property, they are NOT owned by Disney. The Michael Graves-designed hotels, both of which opened in 1990, were initially part of a joint venture between Disney, the developer Tishman, insurance company MetLife, and Starwood Hotels and Resorts. The hotels are currently operated by Marriott’s Sheraton Hotels and Resorts brand, after Marriott acquired Starwood in 2016. That ownership situation is likely why these independent resorts offer room service. Swan Reserve Entrance The Swan & Dolphin offer breakfast from 6 AM to 11 AM and dinner from 5 PM to 11:55 PM. Guests can order breakfast or dinner via the resort’s Mobile Dining options, including its app or website. ©Swan & Dolphin So, what does the resort offer? Breakfast includes lite options, like Overnight Oats or a Parfait… ©Swan & Dolphin … traditional sweeter options, including pancakes and waffles, as well as more savory items like eggs and omelets… Some of the breakfast offerings ©Swan & Dolphin … baked goods… ©Swan & Dolphin and sides. ©Swan & Dolphin Meanwhile, the dinner menu offers a litany of options, beginning with starters, including Crispy Chicken Wings and a Chips & Salsa Flight… ©Swan & Dolphin … soups and salads… ©Swan & Dolphin … handhelds and sandwiches, like burgers and grilled cheese… ©Swan & Dolphin … full entrees and pizzas… Some of the dinner entree options. ©Swan & Dolphin … as well as sushi rolls and bowls… ©Swan & Dolphin … and you can pair them all with some sides. ©Swan & Dolphin Of course, you can wrap the whole meal with dessert. ©Swan & Dolphin The menus don’t leave out the youngest guests, as there are kids’ options for both breakfast… ©Swan & Dolphin … and dinner. ©Swan & Dolphin In addition, the Swan Reserve also offers room service. Breakfast is available from 6:15 AM to 11 AM, and includes an Elite Continental Breakfast… ©Swan & Dolphin … further full breakfast options… ©Swan & Dolphin … their own baked goods… ©Swan & Dolphin … sides… ©Swan & Dolphin … and a children’s menu. ©Swan & Dolphin Lunch and dinner are available from 11 AM to 11:59 PM, and the menu includes appetizers and salads… ©Swan & Dolphin … an entree selection… ©Swan & Dolphin … pizzas… ©Swan & Dolphin … and desserts. ©Swan & Dolphin NOTE: Guests must be present in-room for delivery. In addition to in-room food delivery, the Swan & Dolphin also offers many of the same perks as Disney’s Deluxe Tier, including: The ability to book Lightning Lanes 7 days in advance Early Entry to Disney’s theme parks Extended Evening Hours at select Disney theme parks Complimentary transportation On-site and online Disney tickets Advanced tee times at Disney golf courses Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin If room service is a must during your next trip to Disney World, the Swan & Dolphin complex may be your best bet!

With the rise of social media, especially TikTok, there have been some videos posted about loopholes that work in Disney World, like how to save a little money or get free things. Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Yes, some of them do work, but not all of them. Some of the most viral ones are actually the defunct ones! We don’t want you to be surprised on your next trip when one you’re hoping to do doesn’t work, so we’re sharing the FIVE loopholes that don’t work in Disney World! Loopholes That DO NOT Work Parking at Disney Springs for Free Parking Disney Springs has recently changed their transportation rules, which means that a loophole that used to exist is no longer. Parking at Disney Springs and boarding a resort bus or boat is now prohibited for guests not staying or dining at that resort. Guests must now have a valid reservation to board the resort buses and boats at Disney Springs. So, getting free parking at Disney Springs to go to a resort or park is no longer an option. New Disney Bus Rule Uh-Oh. Something BIG Is Missing from Disney Springs Mobile Ordering a Cheap Meal at a Hotel for Discounted Parking Many guests think they can mobile order at a resort’s quick-service restaurant to get “discounted parking,” but this is not the case. Because of the limited parking spaces at the Disney resorts, a lot of them are limited to guests staying there and with valid table-service dining reservations. Yes, sometimes the security guards will let you through, but it is not guaranteed, AND if they do let you through to pick up your mobile order, please don’t treat it as “discounted parking” and go to the parks. Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Did Disney World Just Quietly Add a NEW Mobile Order Rule? Making an Early Dining Reservation at a Hotel for Free Parking Yes, we’re still talking about free parking loopholes because there are just so many untrue ones! Disney World has a rule where guests can cancel their dining reservations up to 2 hours before their designated time, unless this reservation was booked at a signature dining location — those require 48 to 72 hours’ notice. Disney has now started giving out slips to place on your car’s dashboard with your designated reservation time and a 2-hour window. So, no, you cannot get by with parking at a Disney World resort 2 hours and 5 minutes before your dining reservation and cancel when you’re there — it doesn’t work that way! Trattoria al forno 5 Disney World Restaurants Everyone Will Be Booking in 2027 Skipping the Attraction Lines Because It’s Your Birthday We see HUNDREDS of guests with a “Happy Birthday” button every day in Disney World. Does that mean every one of those guests will skip attraction lines? Absolutely not. It’s definitely possible for a Cast Member to give someone a “Magical Moment” and allow them to skip the line because it’s their birthday, but don’t expect it. Happy Birthday Button We Went to 7 Disney World Parks and Hotels in a Day — Here Are 13 New Things We Noticed Getting a Free Upgrade Because You Asked for It If you’ve booked a Standard Room and gotten a free upgrade to a specific view or a preferred location, congrats — there was availability! But not every situation is like this. Just because you want a free upgrade doesn’t mean the Cast Members have to give you one. You paid for a specific tier of room, and that’s the one they’re obligated to put you in, so they don’t need to give you an upgrade because you asked for it. Tower Room with Resort View at Coronado Springs If This Doesn’t Convince You To Stay At This Hotel 15 Minutes From Disney World, We Don’t Know What Will Loopholes That DO Work Because we don’t want to fully rain on your parade, we’re giving you some loopholes that you can actually use on your next Disney World vacation! The 3-Hour Lightning Lane Window Don’t worry if you’re running a little late to your Lightning Lane because there is a 3-hour grace period where you can scan into your Lightning Lanes EVEN if it’s already way past your return time window! Disney could change this rule at any time, so we don’t suggest relying on it unless you really have to, but it’s a great trick to have up your sleeve if you’re stuck waiting in line for a different ride or your dining reservation ran a little over time. Kali River Rapids Lightning Lane CONFIRMED: The Hardest Lightning Lane to Book in Magic Kingdom Is NOT What You Think Getting Into the Park Without Early Entry Early Entry is a perk for guests staying at Disney hotels and other select resorts where they get 30 extra minutes in the morning to ride attractions in the park before it opens to the general public. But you actually don’t need to be staying at a Disney resort to scan into the park. While you do need a valid reservation to board attractions and enter certain lands, you don’t need to be staying at a Disney resort to actually enter the park. This is a great time to grab your morning coffee, take pictures with fewer crowds, and leisurely stroll without the worry of higher wait times. Early Entry Signage at Animal Kingdom 10 Disney World Hotels That Make Early Entry 10X Harder, and 13 You Should Stay at Instead Ordering a Kid’s Meal Disney World isn’t a place where they’ll check your age when you mobile order from a kid’s menu. It’s actually something we recommend you do! The portions are often a pretty great size, AND you’ll be saving some money by doing it. Some of our favorite kids’ meals to order are the Cheeseburger Pods from Satu’li Canteen, the Salmon from Columbia Harbour House, and the Mickey-shaped Waffle Platter from any resort for breakfast! Cheeseburger Pods Adults Are Secretly Ordering THESE Kids’ Meals at Magic Kingdom The Gift Card Hack Disney World can be expensive, and saving a few dollars here and there can actually add up. Buying gift cards ahead of time can not only help you budget out your vacation, but it can also help save you some money depending on where you buy them. Wholesale clubs like Sam’s Club, Costco, and BJ’s often run deals on gift cards, causing them to be cheaper than the value. For example, a $500 Disney Gift Card at BJ’s is currently $479.99. Yes, it’s only $20, but if you’re spending $2,000 in gift cards on your vacation, you’re saving $80! That’s approximately 13 extra DOLE Whips!!! Gift Card! So, the next time you go to try out a loophole in Disney World, remember these and don’t forget which ones work and which ones don’t! And stay tuned to DFB for more Disney insider tips and tricks!

Okay, so who thinks that Halloween is the BEST time of the year in Disney World? We love how spooky Magic Kingdom gets decorated for the season (and the Mickey Halloween wreaths are just SO iconic). Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is also SO much fun, plus we even get to go trick-or-treating as adults at the party. What’s not to love? It’s a Ghost Minnie Cake pop! However, what really makes Halloween stand out for us in Disney World are the special treats you can find ALL over the resort. Now, we’ve already tried all the special treats at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but now, we’re trying treats OUTSIDE of the party, including a new ADORABLE treat we just found at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. The Minnie Mouse Vanilla Pop is available at Beach Club Marketplace, and it may just be the most adorable Halloween snack we’ve seen yet. Granted, it’s more of a cake BAR than a pop, but Disney is calling it a pop, so we will, too. It’s a vanilla cake pop enrobed in white chocolate for $5.99. Just look at her! It’s adorable We will warn you now…this is a VERY sweet treat, which means kids are going to love it, especially considering the way it looks. It has a classic vanilla cupcake flavor with that vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream vibe, but our sweet tooth was pretty much fulfilled after just a few bites. Kids and those with a major weakness for sugary treats, though, will probably devour it quickly. The flavor also gave us nostalgic vibes as it’s just so classic. It’s VERY sweet We’ll be keeping an eye out for more new Halloween treats throughout Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more reviews.

EPCOT has never been short on dining options that double as experiences. Grilled Snapper From the global flavors around World Showcase to the character breakfasts and themed sit-downs scattered through, EPCOT’s restaurants are often just as much a draw as the park’s rides. Some of these spots have become bucket-list dining destinations, not necessarily because the food is unforgettable, but because of the atmosphere that surrounds every bite. That’s exactly the case for one of the park’s most unique restaurants, and unfortunately, we’ve got some closure news to share about it. The Coral Reef Restaurant, tucked inside the Seas Pavilion at EPCOT, is set to temporarily close on September 8th. If you’ve never dined here, Coral Reef’s biggest draw isn’t what’s on the menu — it’s what’s on the other side of the glass. The restaurant is lined with panoramic windows that look directly into the massive aquarium at The Seas with Nemo & Friends, meaning you can watch sharks, rays, sea turtles, and countless fish glide by while you eat. It’s one of the most distinctive dining setups in all of Walt Disney World, and it’s part of why the restaurant has held onto such a loyal following over the years. Coral Reef Restaurant As for why Coral Reef is closing, Disney hasn’t given us a clear answer. There’s no official reason listed alongside the closure, and no reopening date has been announced either — Disney has only said the restaurant is expected to return later in 2026. That leaves a pretty wide window of uncertainty for anyone hoping to plan a visit. Coral Reef This wouldn’t be the first adjustment Coral Reef has seen this year. Back in January, the restaurant shifted to a reduced, dinner-only schedule, cutting lunch service entirely starting January 4th. Since then, Coral Reef has only been open from 4 PM to 9 PM daily. Disney never clarified whether that reduced schedule was a temporary test or a permanent shift, and now, with this closure looming, it’s fair to wonder if the two are connected. It’s very possible this is simply a routine refurbishment — restaurants close for maintenance all the time, and Coral Reef is due for some updates. But given the schedule change earlier this year, it’s also possible this closure is another step in some larger plan Disney has for the space. Right now, Disney has not clarified. Surf and Turf If we’re being honest, Coral Reef’s food has never been the main reason to visit — it’s long been more about the setting than the menu. So while we wait to see what this closure brings, we’re hoping Disney uses the downtime for more than just structural upkeep. A menu refresh that finally matches the quality of the atmosphere would go a long way toward making Coral Reef as memorable on the plate as it is through the glass. Coral Reef Restaurant If you had your hopes set on dining at Coral Reef from September 8th or later, you’ll want to make other plans, at least for now. We’ll be watching closely for any updates from Disney about a reopening date or the reason behind the closure, so keep an eye on DFB for the latest as soon as we know more.

Spooky season has arrived at Magic Kingdom, and now fall treats are popping up at other parks around Disney World! What’s this?! We recently went to Disney’s Hollywood Studios because we heard about a new treat that had arrived for the Halloween season, and it sounded scary good! As avid Disney food lovers, you know we couldn’t wait to go grab it. Of course, we also couldn’t go eating it and not tell you all our thoughts. One of our favorite quick-service dining spots at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land. They have some great lunchtime options, frozen drinks, and sweet treats. You’ll find it located across from Alien Swirling Saucers and beside Toy Story Mania. Woody’s Lunch Box The dining spot often gets new tarts every once in a while, and the place rarely misses. When Toy Story 5 released in theatres, Woody’s Lunch Box actually dropped a Lilypad-themed tart for the summer! They also dropped a 4th of July tart for the holiday. Well, now that spooky season is here, a brand-new tart has arrived. Something new is here! The new treat is called the Pumpkin Lunch Box Tart! It’s a pumpkin pie-filled pastry topped with marshmallow fondant, Halloween sprinkles, marshmallows, and a chocolate jack-o’-lantern. You can grab the new treat for $5.29. Pumpkin Lunch Box Tart The tart had a classic flaky pie crust filled with just enough pumpkin spice filling to really get the flavors of all the spices. We really appreciated that it’s not too cinnamon-forward. In fact, the treat is really well balanced. The icing on the outside is a classic icing, and it isn’t overpowering whatsoever. Here it is! We really enjoyed this treat! The pumpkin has just enough of that autumnal warmth of spices that you would associate with a really good pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. It’s not really sweet even though it’s basically a Pop-Tart. The marshmallows were soft and added a reminiscent taste of the classic side dish of sweet potato, as far as the bites that had marshmallow go. This was so good! We’re telling you, every time a new tart drops at Woody’s Lunch Box, you have to make a trip over there. It’s so worth it, and this one is just another delicious treat to add to its resume.

Halloween season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we’ve been to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year. We got to check out everything the party offers, including special entertainment, special food, and trick-or-treating. Allergy-friendly trick or treating location However, for some, the trick-or-treating experience has changed this year. If you’re trick-or-treating for allergy-friendly treats, the process is now a lot more convenient and easier, and we think you’re going to love it. So let’s talk about it. In the past, if you needed to go allergy-friendly with the trick-or-treating at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you picked up a teal treat bag, and when Cast Members at treat trails saw it, they would give you a teal token. So instead of candy, you would collect the tokens if you had the teal treat bag. Then, you traded in your tokens at one of two allergy-friendly locations to receive allergy-friendly treats. Token Well, that has changed. Now, you just go to the allergy-friendly locations directly, and Cast Members just give you the candy right there. There are two locations: one at Merchant of Venus and another at the Liberty Square ticket office. You’ll see a sign outside of each location indicating that it’s an allergy-friendly experience. Allergy-friendly treat location You no longer have to go through individual treat trails to get the tokens. You’ll still get a full bag of treats, but they’ll all be allergy-friendly. Allergy-Friendly trick-or-treating There’s also a really good variety of allergy-friendly treats, including YumEarth ChocoYums Chocolate Candies, YumEarth Gummy Bears, YumEarth Organic Pops, Sugar-Free Werther’s Apple Hard Candy, Free2Be Sunflower Butter Sun Cups, and more. Full list of allergy-friendly treats Overall, we think this is a huge upgrade and saves a lot of time if you still want to collect treats. So keep that in mind if you’ll be visiting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party with allergies. We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney World news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

If there’s one thing we love about Disney, it’s all of the subcultures that come along with the brand. Disney Pins! We all love Disney, but some of us have favorite aspects of the parks, like obsessing over the snacks, meeting characters, and even pin trading! Pin Trading is easily one of the most popular subcultures, and weekly pin drops are how we keep the obsession at an all-time high. This week, we found 4 new pins that we think fans are going to love! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. There is just something about pin trading that we love! They’re small, affordable souvenirs, and they often show love to some more niche characters and films. They are also a great way to mark specific celebrations in the parks. The newest pin drop is no exception! Figment Slider Pin ©Disney Figment fans, let us hear you! Go crazy in the crowd for this new pin! This new drop is inspired by EPCOT’s famous purple mascot and his home at the Imagination Institute. Figment can slide up and down behind the podium to show off his famous yellow sweater. Real fans will remember this scene from the ride that inspires the pin! Shop on the Disney Store Mad Hatter and March Hare Pin ©Disney Next up, theme park fans can also get excited about this one! This pin is inspired by Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Tea Party in Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. Inside that famous spinning teacup, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare can be seen smiling on what we can only imagine is their un-birthdays. We also can’t get over that subtle shine in the background! Shop on the Disney Store The Great Mouse Detective 40th Anniversary Pin ©Disney Next, we have a limited release pin for serious Disney animation fans! This new pin celebrates The Great Mouse Detective‘s 40th Anniversary. The famous villain, Ratigan, can be seen holding open that nefarious yet gorgeous cape. In front of him, Basil of Baker Street stands tall with his detective magnifying glass. There’s also a 40th anniversary logo on Ratigan’s cape! Shop on the Disney Store Mickey Mouse Glow-in-the-Dark ”Happy Halloween” Pin ©Disney Finally, we have this timely pin because spooky season has kicked off in Disney World! This Halloween pin features Mickey Mouse dressed up with a cape with a houndstooth pattern in the background and a pumpkin pendant at his throat. His classic yellow buttons have been swapped for Jack-O-Lanterns, and his treat bag is FULL of candy we just know it. The best part? This pin glows in the dark for the perfect Halloween vibes! Shop on the Disney Store These four pins are too cute, and we can’t wait to add them to our pin boards at home! Be sure to keep following DFB for more. View the full article

Boo-To-You! We just spent an evening in Magic Kingdom at the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and we’re still feeling all the spookiness and not-so-scariness of the evening. Happy Halloween! We trick-or-treated, we got a kick out of some fun costumes, we saw a parade and witnessed some EPIC creepy fireworks. But more importantly, we ate and drank some exclusive party snacks and drinks. Well, now that we’ve experienced it ALL, we’re going to tell you about our best food and drink picks of the evening! Most Eerie, Yet Tasty, New Snacks Okay, so let’s start out with the best of the Not-So-Scary snacks! These are the new snacks that blew us away and will have us booking another party before Halloween season is over. Up first is the Graveyard Hot Chicken and Waffle at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments! Graveyard Hot Chicken and Waffle This is made with Nashville hot chicken strips, blue cornmeal waffle, and pickle ranch. We LOVED this! The chicken tenders come coated in a balanced Nashville hot honey with just a touch of smokiness, and were perfectly cooked. The heat here does build — so you may want to keep that in mind. The flavors were bold and packed with a chili punch, and the fresh scallions on top were an excellent addition. The waffle is blue cornmeal, though it looks more black. Still, ours was soft, warm, and moist rather than crisp. Overall, we can’t stop raving about this one. The spice on these builds! Next up is the Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe! This is an Angus beef burger with Boursin and brie fondue, crispy onions, and garlic pickles on a toasted black bun, served with French fries. Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger The patty was your typical Cosmic Ray’s burger, but everything else was elevated. The bun had a bit of a nice crunch on the outside and was super airy and soft on the inside. The Boursin and brie cheese mix was creamy and thick, and the flavors went together so well — creating a lovely mild and herby taste. There are chunks of garlic in it, which pack a punch. The pickles provided a welcome acidity and dill flavor, and everything tasted super fresh and crunchy. Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger We also loved the Frightful Black Bean Burger at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe. This is a plant-based burger topped with jalapeño-ranch slaw and jalapeño chips on a purple bun, and served with French fries. We really didn’t like anything at Pecos for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but this was great! Frightful Black Bean Burger The black bean patty was smoky, hearty, and packed with plant-based protein. It was smoky and had a barbecue taste to it, and the slaw was really delicious and not too tangy. Let’s take a bite! So that covers new treats, but what about returning ones? Ghastly Returning Snacks You Can’t Miss Now, a lot of the snacks and drinks we had this year have returned from previous years, so we have to tell you about those, too, because we think those shouldn’t be missed. That includes the DOLE Whip Mango and Chamoy Float at Aloha Isle Refreshments. It’s made with DOLE Whip Mango, pineapple juice, chamoy, and chili-lime seasoning, and it’s one of our favorite DOLE Whips EVER. We love how the seasoning isn’t overwhelming — there’s just enough of it to punch up the mango and pineapple flavors. DOLE Whip Mango Chamoy Float We also LOVE LOVE LOVE the Not-So-Poison Apple Doughnuts (doughnuts rolled in apple cider sugar and drizzled with caramel sauce) at Friar’s Nook. The doughnuts are perfect little pillowy pastries with just a bit of a crispy crust, and the apple cider sugar and caramel just complement their flavor so well. Not-So-Poison Apple Doughnuts We’re also still wishing the Candy Bowl Sundae at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies would be available year-round. It’s Vanilla soft-serve topped with chocolate cone dip, SNICKERS bar pieces, TWIX cookie bar pieces, and M&M’S Milk Chocolate Candies Halloween Blend. So you’ve got that lovely hardened chocolate cone dip on top, plus those candy bar pieces, and it’s just PERFECTION. It’s like trick-or-treating, but in sundae form. Seriously, this is a contender for our best Disney World sundae EVER. Candy Bowl Sundae Folks craving some spice should check out the Jalapeño Popper Hot Dog at The Lunching Pad! This hot dog is topped with queso fundido, pickled and fried jalapeños, bacon, and onions — and it has no business being this good. Savory, with a freshness from the onions as well as a blend of textures, this hot dog is on the spicier side, but nothing guests with decent heat tolerances can’t handle. Jalapeño Popper Hot Dog If you’re feeling brave, definitely give this a go! Best Not-So-Scary Treats For Kids Of course, there are plenty of treats to please little ghouls, too. We want to highlight a popular dessert! Minnie’s Witch Hat The Minnie Witch Hat at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is a sugar cookie topped with strawberry-banana mousse, buttercream, and two chocolate discs to make 3D Minnie ears. This year, it’s a strawberry-banana version, and it was a BIG win. The strawberry flavor was super subtle, while the banana was really unique for a party dessert. Together, they were light and filling. The outer coating with its thin layer of white chocolate was sweet and thin, and the icing along the bottom was a nice thick buttercream that provided some nice density. Minnie’s Witch Hat Over at Pinocchio Village Haus, you gotta try the Cruella Cookie Sandwich! This treat is filled with raspberry ganache dipped in white chocolate and sprinkles. Cruella Cookie Sandwich The cookie is a thick, nearly fudgy, chocolate chip cookie, and it has a chewy element that’s not too soft. It’s almost like a brownie that’s baked just enough. It’s a messy treat, but that’s probably a plus for kids. This is so tasty! Kids are sure to love these snacks as much as we did. Best Spooky Restaurant Vibes Several Magic Kingdom restaurants are open during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. So if you do take up valuable party time for a table service meal, where should you eat? Well, our most consistent experience was at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments! Sleepy Hollow Refreshments The Doom Buggy Dumplings (chicken dumplings with red miso gochujang sauce, furikake, and chili threads) had a nice kick and some good flavor. Doom Buggy Dumplings We already talked about how much we loved the Graveyard Hot Chicken and Waffle! Spicy! We also grabbed the Hatbox Ghost Pop (chocolate crumbs layered with chocolate mousse and dulce de leche, topped with blue crispy pearls and a chocolate piece), and this landed somewhere between a caramelly chocolate pudding and a mousse. It featured big chunks of chocolate crunchies that gave it a great texture. The push-pop format isn’t ideal, but the payoff is worth it — especially given the portion size. Hatbox Ghost Pop We also dug the returning Pumpkin-spiced Funnel Cake Sundae! This pumpkin funnel cake topped with pumpkin gelato, whipped cream, pumpkin-spiced caramel, candy pumpkins, and sprinkles is PERFECT for lovers of all things pumpkin spice. Pumpkin-spiced Funnel Cake Sundae Spoopiest Snack Halloween might be scary, but some of these snacks are downright ADORABLE. Our pick for the prettiest snack goes to the Headless Horseman Treat at Casey’s Corner! Headless Horseman Treat This thing is just so photogenic! This is a pumpkin pie tart topped with whipped cheesecake, spiced caramel panna cotta, candied pecans, and marshmallow buttercream “flames”. The pumpkin pie filling was so smooth, and it held its own against the whipped cheesecake layer, rather than being overpowered by it. The pumpkin filling is also lightly spiced, offering a great balance. The whipped cheesecake layer was the real standout, though. It was silky smooth with just the right amount of tang — providing a classic cream cheese cheesecake flavor without tasting artificial. The pâte sucrée crust was soft, tender, and delicately crumbly. Pumpkin fans will love! The candied pecans added a welcome crunch and a toasty, spiced contrast to all that creaminess, but we wanted more. Otherwise, this was an amazing treat! Most Terrifying Snack Of course, this is STILL a Halloween party, so some snacks dressed the part. We’re talking things shaped like skulls and poison apples and spooky things from Regions Beyond. So which was the MOST terrifying? The new Hades Cake Pop at The Lunching Pad stood out. This is made up of Mexican hot chocolate cake with popping candies dipped in chocolate with blue marshmallow “fire”. Hades Cake Pop The marshmallowy exterior looks like Hades’ hair, and you get some great dark chocolate flavors with each bite. The popping candies definitely come through and provide a crunchy texture, and we ultimately found this to be a very fun treat. YUM We’ll be back with even more of our takes on this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Most Walt Disney World vacations move quickly. There are early mornings, Lightning Lane return times, dining reservations, transportation decisions, and the feeling that you should always be heading somewhere. Sangria University at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort was intentionally different. Tracy and I spent a casual morning at the resort, enjoyed a late breakfast, and then […] The post Is Sangria University Worth It?

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).

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.
