We talk about Disney World A LOT because we’re there nearly every single day. ©Taste Central Florida Sure, there are a LOT of things to do in Disney World, but if you ever do plan on venturing away from the resort, you’ll find even MORE things to do in the Orlando area. One of those things is happening soon, and it’s a food and beverage tasting event that helps support charity. Food AND helping a charity? Of course, we’re in! That event is Taste! Central Florida, a food and beverage tasting event in Orlando. During the event, you’ll be able to sample small plates of food from more than 40 local restaurants, as well as taste beverages and cocktail samples from Orlando’s top beverage vendors. YUM. ©Taste Central Florida Even better, though, is that the event is led by volunteers to raise funds to support the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. During its 30+ year history, Taste! Central Florida has raised over $4 million to help provide 16 million meals to children. ©Taste Central Florida Taste! Central Florida will be held on August 18th, 2023 from 6PM to 10PM at the Orlando World Center Marriott. Tickets are available now here for $200 per person, but you can save $25 off each ticket by using code Tasty25 — this code is valid until August 1st (so you’ll need to reserve your spot ASAP). ©Taste Central Florida If you happen to be in the Orlando area on that date, think about heading on over to support this wonderful organization.

We’ve spent a LOT of time at Disney World hotels. Beach Club Resort Besides countless overnight stays, we also visit the resorts frequently to see what’s new in merchandise, food, and activities. And throughout those many hours spent at the resorts, we’ve learned all about the hidden secrets of the Disney World hotels! Today we’ve rounded up a list of cool things you’ve probably never seen at the Disney World hotels. Be on the lookout for these fun details during your next visit! The BoardWalk Nanny Chairs Let’s start this list out in the lobby of the BoardWalk Inn. There, you’ll find the iconic (and terrifying!) nanny chairs. These spooky-looking seats often sit on either side of the fireplace, and their faces will probably haunt your nightmares for the foreseeable future. Now THAT is a nightmare, or should we say “nightCHAIR” These types of chairs were originally designed for nannies to sit and take a break while children rode carousels, but now there are a few of them that call BoardWalk Inn home. And as a fun little bonus — if you look at the back of them, you’ll see that they’re each painted with a unique name. The Hidden Train Room Next up let’s talk about the HIDDEN train room at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! This room is located inside the Boulder Ridge Villas, on the ground floor, just off the lobby. It’s dedicated completely to Walt Disney’s love of trains! Carolwood Pacific Room Before the Disneyland Railroad existed, there was the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, which was a small railway that Walt Disney built in his own Los Angeles backyard. This room is named after that very railroad, and you’ll find train nods throughout — from trains in the decor to scale models of the very train that lived at Walt’s house. It’s a great spot for Disney history buffs to explore! Secret Areas to Spot Animals Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is known for its stunning savanna filled with exotic animals, but did you know that there are SECRET places where you can go to watch these creatures? It’s perfect for those who aren’t staying in a savanna view hotel room! The hidden balcony! You don’t need to walk down to the crowded viewing area in front of Jambo House — one of our favorite places to sit are the hidden balconies on either side of the lobby. You’ll simply exit the main building and climb the spiral staircases to these sequestered areas with rocking chairs and stools. A great spot to drink your morning coffee, if you ask us! The 5-Legged Goat One of the most iconic pieces of art at a Disney World hotel is the gigantic mural on the fourth-floor concourse of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This magnificent piece of artwork was designed by Mary Blair, and it contains a rather famous “mistake.” That goat has 5 legs! One of the goats in the mural actually has five legs instead of four! In her artwork, Mary Blair was paying homage to Southwest Native Americans, so she wanted to include one of their beliefs in her design. They believe that nothing made by man could ever be perfect since man is imperfect. The 5-legged goat pays homage to that belief — people make mistakes in their artwork. Look out for it on your next visit! The BEST Place to Work One of our favorite spots to chill out, read a book, or catch up on some work is at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Outside of the lobby, past the cafe, you’ll find the Voyageurs Lounge. It’s the perfect space for some peace and quiet! Voyageurs Lounge This room has multiple tables with various seating arrangements, and there are plenty of outlets where you can plug in your devices. With the cafe next door, you can grab a coffee and a pastry, and just sit here for a little while to enjoy the ambiance if you’d like. Plus, there are little pieces of Disney memorabilia on some of the shelves that you may want to check out! Another Low-Key Lounge And speaking of low-key lounges, we love the Solarium at the Beach Club Resort! Located across from the Beach Club Marketplace, this bright and airy room has plenty of seating, a TV, and a generally serene atmosphere. The Crescent Solarium We’ve been known to come in here when we wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle. And since the EPCOT International Gateway entrance is just a short walk away, this is a great stop for if you need a little break from the parks. So the next time you visit the Disney World resorts, make sure to check out these fun hidden secrets and impress your family and friends with your knowledge!

If you keep Disney park maps after your vacation, save those little celebration buttons, and hold onto your old autograph books, we’ve got a secret to share with you. Magic Kingdom No matter how old we are, there’s something about receiving a little sticker from a Cast Member that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Who doesn’t love a free souvenir? But these days, there’s a whole lot more than just the classic old Mickey sticker in Disney World. Prepare to have your mind blown — we’re sharing a secret tip on how to get one of Disney’s most popular souvenirs! If you’ve ever been to Disney World, you’ve probably seen this sticker a time or two. It’s the classic Mickey sticker we all know and love! All kinds of Cast Members from the parks and resorts have these on hand as a fun little way to spread some magic. Whether you’re checking into your Disney hotel or visiting a gift shop, you might just walk away with a cute little Mickey sticker. But did you know there are some “rare” stickers hiding in Disney World, too? The classic Mickey sticker It might take a little more luck to receive one of these character sticker souvenirs. Some “rare” stickers are location-specific, while others are just harder to find around the parks and resorts! So where can you go to have a better chance of finding these “rare” stickers? Did you know such a thing existed?! The secret to potentially getting some unique stickers is to visit Disney’s Character Attendants! No, we’re not talking about Mickey Mouse himself, we’re talking about the Cast Members in the blue shirts that accompany our favorite Disney characters. Many Character Attendants keep a pouch full of stickers to hand out to guests — and they often feature fun characters like Pirate Mickey, Daisy, and Donald. A Pirate Mickey Sticker? Say WHAT?! Now, of course, there are a few caveats to this tip. First of all, not all Character Attendants may have stickers on hand. Also, please keep in mind that these stickers are meant to be given out to make a little magic, so be kind to Cast Members. Character Attendants are the secret to some sweet stickers! And while we’re sharing our secrets, here’s another tip: Disney’s Hollywood Studios Cast Members tend to have more (and different) stickers compared to Cast Members at other locations. So if you’re on the hunt for some fun stickers, you might have the best luck at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Of course, there are plenty of other places you can find stickers; even Cast Members out by the parking lot may have some stickers to share! (Look at all those rolls of stickers — we told you Disney’s Hollywood Studios has the best stickers!) Parking Lot Station Well, there you have it! If you happen to meet a Character Attendant that isn’t busy, you might just walk away with a rare sticker.

At EPCOT, you will find so many food choices, you could have your head spinning. EPCOT With each country in the World Showcase offering food, multiple restaurants at the front of the park, and if there is a festival like Food and Wine happening, there are a lot of choices on where to grab your meal from. With so many options, there is one restaurant that could get overlooked. We’re here today to take you along with us to one restaurant that will fill your stomach and having you feel patriotic at the same time. Regal Eagle Smokehouse can be found in the America Pavillion. It lies to the left of the American Adventure and is hard to miss with the signs, tables, and the smell of smoked meat filling the air. Regal Eagle is a quick-service restaurant but it is far from your typical “theme-park food.” Now before we get started, we want to acknowledge something that we’re sure makes Sam Eagle proud: This place is a HUGE improvement over what was here before! The quick-service restaurant in the American Adventure Pavilion used to be Liberty Inn. And it was, well, just not that great. I mean, this is EPCOT, and there are SO many great quick-service choices (we ranked them all here), and Liberty Inn just was not something we would recommend. It served mostly uninspired food like burgers and fries. But Regal Eagle Smokehouse, well, that’s a different story! This location has gone from pretty awful to pretty awesome! Come along on our most recent visit! Atmosphere You can immediately feel patriotism with the sign featuring Sam Eagle from the Muppets. All around you’ll find American Flags, old lanterns, and barrels to transport you back in American history. Regal Eagle Smokehouse Outside you’ll find a large smoker also known as the Barbecue Pit. While this smoker is not used to smoke the actual meat you’ll find in the restaurant, it already has you daydreaming about those smokey flavors you’ll soon taste. The Smoker Outdoor seating is available at multiple picnic-style tables that have large umbrellas to help provide shade. Outside seating options Outside of the restaurant, you’ll find a bar that serves cocktails, frozen drinks, and beer. You can order one of these drinks here and take it inside with you. Outside Bar Now, it’s time to head inside. You’ll find red and white drapes above the entrance of the large white glass doors. Let’s head inside The theming of this restaurant is one of our favorites. The walls are filled with decor to look at all throughout. Just check out this amazing Regal Eagle Smokehouse sign inside above multiple cast iron pans and utensils. Located inside The walls are covered in photos of plants, herb bundles, and of course, red, white, and blue bunting. Wall Decor You will also see nods to the Muppets throughout as well like this Sam’s Centennial Cook-off sign. “A competition fit for patriots and pit masters” it reads. Sam’s Cook-off Of course, it wouldn’t be a tribute to Sam Eagle without a spin on his classic “A Salute to All Nations but Mostly America” line from Muppet Vision 3D over in Hollywood Studios. Here it reads “A Salute to ALL Cook-Offs but Mostly Barbecue”. A Sam Eagle Reference Inside seating is plenty, with multiple-size tables with benches. Although, it is needed as this restaurant is often crowded. Inside Seating This location does offer Mobile Ordering and we recommend doing so, especially around peak meal times. It can get busy in here. However, if you would like to order in person, you can do that as well. Order Here After you order, you’ll see a few signs letting you know that because of their smoking process, even fully cooked meats appear pink in color. This is to give you a heads-up that it is normal for your meat to look like this and to not be alarmed. Important Reminder Here they have soda machines out for guests to fill their cups with. One of our favorite things about this location is that you can get ice and water in your own bottle here. Drink Station There are plenty of paper napkin stands so be sure to grab a stack of them — you’ll thank us later. Grab Those Napkins! For silverware, they have plastic knives, forks, and spoons available throughout the dining room. Plastic Ware There are Coke products available as well as an iced tea station. Fill up your cup! You can’t forget about those sauces. There is Ketchup, Dry Rub, Brisket Sauce, Vinegar Base Sauce, and Honey Mustard Sauce. Sauces There are trash stations in several locations inside. Be sure to put those plates where they belong and the trays back. Trash Menu First, Entress includes Memphis Dry-rub Pork Ribs, BBQ Burger, Kansas City Smoked Half-Chicken, and more. ©Disney They also offer a plant-based BBQ Jackfruit Burger. Sides include items like Baked Beans with Burnt ends, Creamy Coleslaw, and House-made pickles. ©Disney Kids’ Meals include Cheeseburgers and Macaroni & Cheese. ©Disney They do have a few dessert options and non-alcoholic beverages. ©Disney As well as some beer and one specialty cocktail. If you are looking for more alcoholic drinks, check out the Regal Eagle Bar outside of the restaurant. ©Disney Food First, we started with the Loaded Burnt Ends Fries for $12.99. These are Seasoned French Fries with Burnt Ends, Macaroni & Cheese, and Beer-battered Onion Rings. Loaded Burnt End Fries It comes as a large portion but at $12.99, this is a higher-priced item. However, we think they are easy to share with others. It was a good starter but we’re not sure if you’d want to count it as your full meal. It is a large portion We thought these fries were loaded with deliciousness. The burnt ends and the crispy onion rings added a nice crunchy texture that paired well with the mac and cheese and fries. The flavors mixed really well together and we loved how it all tasted. We do definitely recommend eating with a fork though so you can taste all of those flavors at once. These are loaded! Up next, we tried the Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich. The Beef Brisket is rubbed with a secret Brisket Rub and then Slow-smoked and placed between Garlic Toast. The sandwich is $13.79. Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich The sandwich is loaded with large pieces of brisket that are tender and packed with flavor. However, we did not like the garlic bread as we felt like the bread overpowered the brisket. It also gave little structure to the sandwich so we could the brisket falling out. We would love to see the brisket on a roll instead. If you’re wanting to try the brisket, you can always deconstruct this sandwich and eat it with a fork. Large pieces of Beef Brisket The sandwich came with a side option and we chose the Macaroni & Cheese. This mac and cheese is more of a baked style mac and cheese. It is topped with bread crumbs which adds a lot of texture to the dish. It is not overly cheesy or creamy, which we actually liked. Macaroni & Cheese Although, it does lack a little flavor. It is good mac & cheese, but we don’t think it’s the best on the property. It is a solid side choice here at Regal Eagle though. If you like the baked style, you’ll want to try this. Dig in For our second entree, we tried the North Carolina Chopped Smoked Pork Butt Platter. This is a Chopped Pork Butt served with Garlic Toast. You can get this dish for $12.99. Smoked Pork Butt OK, so our reporter who tried this dish is actually from North Carolina so she can judge how this actually stacks up. We thought the pork was very juicy and flavorful. You can tell it is smoked and that flavor carries throughout the pork. Our reporter found this to be a close option for tried and true North Carolina BBQ. Especially if you add the vinegar sauce to it. Nice flavor The meal came with a side and we chose the Baked Beans with Burnt Ends. These are traditional baked beans with pieces of burnt ends throughout. It’s a good portion of beans for a side dish which we appreciated. Baked Beans with Burnt Ends The beans had a smoky flavor as well. If you like traditional baked beans, we think you’ll love these. Adding the burnt ends to them really takes it up a notch and adds some nice chewy texture to the dish. Loved the burnt ends! Finally, you know we had to try the S’mores Brownie. This dessert is $5.29, which we found to be really fair in price. It’s a large portion and you could even share it. We actually haven’t been able to stop talking about this and even wrote a separate post dedicated to the deliciousness that is this sweet dessert. S’mores Brownie at Regal Eagle This brownie has a graham cracker crust and chocolate brownie base, topped with chocolate frosting and toasted marshmallow whip. When you cut into the brownie, you’ll really see that the brownie has a cake-like structure to it, making it more airy and light than a traditional fudgy brownie. We like that texture because it helped the dessert feel less dense. Look at it! The brownie was moist, and the graham cracker base was crumbly, giving it a nice texture. Surprisingly, we found this was not overly sweet; in fact, it was pretty well-balanced. That said, we still suggest this treat for true chocolate fans or s’mores lovers, as that is exactly what it tastes like. We also recommend using a fork to eat it because the marshmallow topping can melt in the heat. Grab napkins — you’re gonna need ’em. Yum! Overall We think this is a solid quick-service option in EPCOT. While there are a lot of choices for food in EPCOT, this is a good option for those looking for a heavy, American meal. We feel like it is well-priced for a quick service location. It also offers a lot of seating, which is good because this restaurant gets busy. Regal Eagle The food is better than your average theme-park, quick service. However, it’s also not the best food we’ve had on the property. We do think it’s a good option that could please many members in your party. While you might not find the healthiest of menu options here, you will find some good comfort food. Regal Eagle Nosh or Not? You should plan a meal here if… You are craving American food that is more than burgers and fries. This takes American food up a notch by bringing delicious comfort food that goes above typical quick-service food options. You have picky eaters in your group. You will find pork, chicken, beef, and a plant-based option here. It also is mild in flavor so it can be liked by most. You are looking for a heavy meal. You will not leave here hungry. Between the large portions and the heavy food options, you will stay full for a while. You should probably skip if… You are wanting a sit-down, quiet meal. As we mentioned, this restaurant gets busy during peak meal times and since it’s one large open room, it can get loud. You are looking for more adventurous food options. At EPCOT, you have so many different cuisines to choose from. If there is a festival happening, there’s even more! If you are looking for something more adventurous, this isn’t the place for you. You are in the front of EPCOT. Regal Eagle is located in the America Pavillion, which is in the middle of the back of the World Showcase. This could be a long walk. If you are towards the front of the park or even at the front of the World Showcase, you might want to head to Connections Eatery or Sunshine Seasons instead. We’ve eaten at EVERY EPCOT restaurant — these are the best! Need Disney Restaurant Advice?

For Disney fans, the Halloween season starts in the summer. That’s because Disney celebrates Halfway to Halloween, PLUS Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off in August. 2022 Halloween merchandise On top of that, this year, we also got the spookiest movie of the year, Haunted Mansion, playing in theaters RIGHT NOW. So THIS IS HALLOWEEN. Halloween merchandise is also popping up, including a new pair of ears we’re going a little batty over. Introducing the Minnie Mouse Bat Halloween Ears. It seems like Minnie’s Halloween costume is bat-themed this year, and she’s sporting it here on these brand-new ears. Why, Minnie, we’ve never seen you look so devious! WHOA! The ears themselves are black and fuzzy — they are so soft! We aren’t entirely sure how we feel about the fuzzy part of these ears; what do you think? Fuzzy ears But the centerpiece of these ears is this colorful Minnie Mouse detail. We seriously can’t get over Minnie’s new look here. Just look at that face — she’s out to scare! These ears are $34.99. Minnie looking all spoopy But that’s not the only new Halloween souvenir we found in Disney World. We also spotted this AMAZING new Halloween Mickey Pumpkin Loungefly Mini Back-Pack that has a glow-in-the-dark Mickey jack-o’-lantern on the front. Halloween Loungefly The pattern across the bag features Mickey’s friends in their Halloween costumes. Donald and Goofy in their Halloween costumes You can see more of that pattern here.

We’ve all been there — we’re up at 5:30AM, 60 days before our Disney World trip, waiting for 6AM to hit so that we can book those coveted dining reservations at all of our favorite Disney restaurants. We have our list ready of all the most important spots to hit, and then — FINALLY — it’s time! We search for open reservation times…and search…and search…and then that sinking feeling starts to creep in. ©Disney It’s absolutely DEVASTATING when you don’t get the Disney World dining reservations you were hoping for! All that great food, just outside of your reach. (Can you tell we have strong feelings about Disney food? ) But wait — all hope is not lost. Sure, it looks like you’re out of luck. But is Disney actually LYING to you?? Even if you don’t get the reservations you were hoping for 60 days before your trip (when dining reservations open), there’s still a decent chance that you can get into your favorite spots! We’re here to tell you how to do that. But first, let’s back it up and cover the basics of Disney World dining reservations. Dining Reservation Basics If you’re planning a vacation to Disney World, then you can (and should) make your dining reservations before you even leave for your trip. Be Our Guest Restaurant’s Grand Ballroom There are hundreds of places to eat between the parks and hotels, and many of these are sit-down, or “table-service,” restaurants — all of those spots require reservations. Even if you’re traveling during a less-crowded season, it’s always recommended that you make Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) for your meals. California Grill table setting Note that fast food, or “quick service,” restaurants do NOT require reservations — this includes places where you walk up to the counter to pick up your meals, such as Casey’s Corner, Connections Eatery, and Woody’s Lunch Box. Lounges also generally do not accept reservations. Seating area at Woody’s Lunch Box Guests are able to make a dining reservation at most Disney World restaurants up to 60 days in advance of their meal. If you’re staying at a Disney World Resort hotel, you can make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of your stay up to 10 days. (So, 60 days before the first day of your stay, you can make reservations for the entire trip, even for days that are more than 60 days out.) Flying Fish You can make those reservations online, over the phone, or on the My Disney Experience app. Click here for a step-by-step guide to making Disney World dining reservations! So if you aren’t able to snag the reservations you want 60 days before your trip, what can you do? Walk-Up Waitlists Although it’s highly recommended that you have a reservation for any table service restaurant, there is a kind of “secret” way to get in without a reservation at all! You can use the mobile dine walk-up waitlists whenever they’re available. Look for this Walk-Up Waitlist sign! This feature on the My Disney Experience app allows you to look for table service restaurants that have available seating for walk-up guests. It’s not always an option — on busier days, some restaurants may not have any availability at all, so it’s definitely not as reliable as an advance reservation. However, when we’re in the parks, we frequently see restaurants open up their waitlists with more availability. Here’s how to use this feature: First, open the My Disney Experience app. To use the mobile dine walk-up waitlist feature, select Check Dining Availability from the app’s menu (click on the little “+” sign at the bottom of your screen). You will be prompted to enter your party size and select a date. If you select a future date, you will be able to view available times for reservations at table service restaurants all around Disney World to make an Advance Dining Reservation. If you select the current date, you will see — and can select — the “now” button under “search by time.” And from here, you’ll see your options for walk-up waitlists! When available, estimated wait times will be provided, or the app will notify if the walk-up list is currently unavailable for a given location. To join the walk-up list, you may be prompted to move closer to the restaurant, depending on your current location. And then, get ready to join the waitlist and soon after… ENJOY your meal! Join the waitlist in the app. You can also see estimated wait times and join the Walk-up Waitlist within the Disney Genie section of the My Disney Experience app. Simply navigate to “dining” from the home screen (as seen on the bottom right). And from there, you’ll see ALL of your options with a simple scroll! Please be aware that some restaurants may have walk-up availability even if they do not show it on the mobile app. You can always check with a Cast Member at the restaurant just in case there’s any availability. Host stand Even if a restaurant doesn’t have availability at one time, you can keep checking back to see if anything pops up — people might cancel their reservations last minute and free up some tables! Click here to see a FULL LIST of restaurants that have a mobile dine walk-up waitlist available. Keep Checking! Another thing you can do if you don’t get reservations at 6AM, 60 days before your trip is to keep checking back CONSTANTLY. As other people adjust their plans, they’ll cancel some reservations, which opens up availability for the restaurants. We’ve frequently seen reservations run out for a restaurant very quickly, only for that same restaurant to suddenly have availability just a couple of days later. Want to eat here? Make sure to book your ADRs 60 days in advance. If you don’t see any availability when you search for a specific meal at a restaurant, try searching by the time of day instead. Sometimes searching for “5 o’clock,” “6 o’clock,” and “7 o’clock” yields better results than just searching for “dinner.” ©Disney And if the original mealtime you wanted isn’t available, look for other times of day! Usually you can find more reservations available at off-peak meal times, such as around 10AM, 11AM, 3PM, and 4PM, instead of right when most people are eating lunch or dinner (such as 12PM and 6PM). Yak & Yeti You can also try on the app, online, and by phone to see if any of them work better than the others. We generally have had the best luck online (especially since the phone line doesn’t open until 7AM — an hour later than online reservations open), but you never know! Sometimes Cast Members are able to work some magic over the phone (though this is never guaranteed). Click here for more tips on how to snag hard-to-get dining reservations in Disney World.

There’s SO MUCH to do in Disney World — you can hop on the new TRON Lightcycle / Run roller coaster, check out the Broadway-style “Festival of the Lion King” show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and eat around the world at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. But there are a couple of things that you CAN’T do in Disney World next week due to ride and attraction closures. Cinderella Castle Disney occasionally has to shut down attractions, restaurants, and certain parts of hotels in order to update and refurbish them. To make sure you’re prepared before your upcoming trip, here’s a complete list of the closures scheduled for next week, from July 30th through August 5th. Magic Kingdom Closures Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd for a long refurbishment. The ride is being re-themed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, with a Princess and the Frog theme. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure The new ride will reopen sometime in late 2024. We’ll be watching for more updates on the reopening timeline. The tree at the top of this ride has been removed as Disney continues construction, and several new rock structures have been built at the bottom of the drop. There’s a new water tower as well, which says “Tiana’s Foods” on the front and “Never, ever lose sight of what’s really important” on the back. It’s topped with Tiana’s crown, which has two stars on it to represent Ray and Evangeline. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure water tower We noticed that part of the ride track has been covered up as well. Part of the ride is covered If you miss Splash Mountain or want to celebrate the new ride, you should check out our DFB t-shirts! We have a Splash Mountain Farwell Tour shirt… DFB Exclusive! …and a Tiana tee as well! Check out our new Tiana-inspired merch! You can shop both tees (and lots of other Disney merch) at our online store. Click here to shop our DFB merchandise store. Barrel Bridge on Tom Sawyer Island Over on Tom Sawyer Island, the Barrel Bridge is currently missing. Barrel Bridge is closed A Cast Member told us that it has been removed for maintenance, and they didn’t know when it might return. The rest of the island is still open to explore, though! Something NEW is coming to Magic Kingdom…and we’re very confused. EPCOT Closures & Reopenings Note that Refreshment Port and Refreshment Station reopened on July 27th. Tokyo Dining In the Japan Pavilion in EPCOT, Tokyo Dining is currently undergoing a major refurbishment. This restaurant is being re-themed to become Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. Construction on Tokyo Dining The new table-service restaurant features a “festive dining experience in a sharable Izakaya-style.” ©Disney Shiki-Sai is expected to open this summer, so we should hear more news about a specific reopening date very soon. Click here to learn more about the NEW restaurant coming to EPCOT. Traveler’s Cafe Traveler’s Cafe is the old Starbucks location, which closed when Connections Cafe opened in World Celebration. Lately, we’ve spotted some changes to this spot (including a new paint job), so we’re wondering if that could mean it will reopen soon! Traveler’s Cafe According to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival map, it looks like this spot will be the location for Swirled Showcase when it opens as a festival marketplace booth on September 22nd. Check out 2 CLUES that the ‘Moana’ attraction could use a virtual queue when it opens! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Closures Voyage of the Little Mermaid This Little Mermaid-themed stage show has been closed in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a long time now. Voyage of the Little Mermaid Disney hasn’t announced when or if the Voyage of the Little Mermaid will reopen. Chip & Dale put on a dramatic show in Hollywood Studios last week! Disney World Water Parks Blizzard Beach Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park has officially reopened, but now the other water park, Blizzard Beach, has closed for refurbishment. ‘Frozen’ additions to Blizzard Beach!

Ever look at someone and think to yourself, “What’s their story?” We know we’re not the only ones; Disney made a whole movie dedicated to what goes on inside our heads! Ever wondered, “What is going on inside their head?” During a recent trip to EPCOT, we passed by a teeeeny tiny little village full of people with all sorts of backstories and lives we can only view from a giant’s perspective. If you’re in the mood for a laugh on this fine afternoon, you’ve come to the right place. Over in the Germany pavilion in the EPCOT World Showcase, there’s a miniature village full of tiny little guests. They’re out there living their lives, riding on trains, and even participating in their own little EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. Oh, to be a tiny German figure living in a tiny German village! The Germany Pavilion train village has its own Food and Wine Festival! At times, we find ourselves towering about this little village and asking ourselves, “What if we’re living in a miniature village and there are giants watching us go about our days?” Pretty meta, huh? Cute! During our EPCOT visit, we noticed this woman sitting on the sidewalk with her eyes on the skies. Who is she? What is she looking at? Is it aliens? Are WE the aliens? Why does she look so disheveled; has she had a long night out? Why is she sitting outside what looks like a sketchy factory that is surely committing several OSHA violations inside? Who is that strange man next to her?! We have so many questions. Who is she? What is her story? This village is full of mystery. Look — this scientist guy blew the roof off his little station! What happened here? Clearly, this is not the sleepy little village it may appear to be at first glance. He blew the roof! Admittedly, we have a slight obsession with miniature displays in Disney World. Next time you visit a gift shop, check out the nuiMOs displays; they’re filled with hilarious scenes! nuiMOs coffee check! Well, that concludes our latest Disney World village check. Those guys have some wild things going on, and we want to know the story.

EPCOT is very busy right now, thanks to the start of the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. EPCOT Food & Wine Festival We were at the festival on day one and ate ALL the things, and we started to notice that some unwelcome visitors have returned to EPCOT to create some buzz (yes, we’re feeling punny). We’ve dealt with these creatures before, and well, they’re back to create some havoc at this year’s festival. Yes, you guessed it — the BEES are back. Yep, the bees are running rampant in EPCOT again, and some things have changed because of them. Spike the Bee! Wait, wrong bee. No, the REAL bees have been a problem at EPCOT in the past. However, these bees always seem to flock to Joffrey’s coffee carts and kiosks. Like we get it, even bees gotta’ have that caffeine fix, but for some reason, they always seem to affect what’s available on Joffrey’s menu. That’s because all those sweet syrups we like in our coffees is basically a snack that bees cannot resist. BEES The bees have returned for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (they REALLY love EPCOT festivals), and Joffrey’s is once more being affected by their presence. Bee-ware! When we visited the Joffrey’s kiosk near American Adventure today, we saw a sign warning us that syrups and sauces are temporarily unavailable in an effort to reduce the attraction of bees to the area. We’ve seen this sign before… The bees are back! However, if you’re wanting to get your hands on the Food and Wine drink here, the Nutty Caramel Mocha Cold Brew is still available here (and you can read our review of it here). Just keep that in mind if you’re visiting an EPCOT festival because the bees seem to turn up pretty often. We’ll keep you updated on the bee situation in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Disney World can be a fun and magical place, but there are some things that make us cringe. Tower of Terror Whether that’s something that looks gross (like some of the new Halloween snacks that were announced) or because one ride posts a multi-hour wait time, cringe-worthy things are all around. This week, that cringe-y thing is one of the most popular rides in Disney World — Tower of Terror. No, nothing is wrong with Tower of Terror itself. And it’s not even the highest wait time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But, it had a HUGE jump in its wait times since last week that left us shocked! Tower of Terror had a 58-minute average wait time last week, and this week the average hopped up to 72 minutes. That’s an increase of 14 minutes on average! While other ride wait times also went up this week, this was the biggest increase by far. Take a look at all of this week’s average wait times below to find out what you can expect on your next visit to the parks. Magic Kingdom Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 88 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 83 minutes, so the time has increased a little bit this week. Main Street USA Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 69 minutes, Space Mountain averaged 64 minutes, and Jungle Cruise averaged 49 minutes. After that, average wait times had Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 41 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 44 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 32 minutes, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Astro Orbiter at 33 minutes, and Enchanted Tales with Belle averaged 31 minutes. Astro Orbiter After that, “it’s a small world” averaged 25 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway averaged 24 minutes, The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini averaged 20 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 18 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid and Dumbo the Flying Elephant averaged 17 minutes, and Mickey’s PhilharMagic averaged 15 minutes. Tomorrowland Speedway Next, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover averaged 14 minutes, Mad Tea Party averaged 11 minutes, and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel averaged 9 minutes. The Enchanted Tiki Room, Carousel of Progress, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, and the Liberty Square Riverboat all averaged 5 minutes. Swiss Family Robinson The Hall of Presidents, Country Bear Jamboree, and Tom Sawyer Island averaged no wait. Reminder: TRON Lightcycle / Run does not have a posted wait time as it only uses a Virtual Queue or Individual Lightning Lane. 4 Essential Magic Kingdom Meals EPCOT Heading over to EPCOT, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure had an average wait time of 61 minutes — this is an increase from last week’s 57-minute average. Frozen Ever After’s wait time stayed the same as last week with 59 minutes. EPCOT Test Track is another high average wait time in the parks at 60 minutes. Next up is Soarin’ at 33 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 21 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 16 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 15 minutes. Turtle Talk with Crush Then, there is Journey into Imagination at 10 minutes, The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 9 minutes, Gran Fiesta Tour at 8 minutes, and Living with the Land at 7 minutes. Figment Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China had no wait times this week. Reminder: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not have a posted wait time as it only uses a Virtual Queue or Individual Lightning Lane. 2 Clues That the Moana Attraction Could Use a Virtual Queue When It Opens in EPCOT Hollywood Studios Over in Hollywood Studios, Rise of the Resistance saw a slight increase from 78 minutes to 80 minutes this week. Slinky Dog Dash actually saw an increase to a 90-minute average making it the longest wait time in the park. Rise of the Resistance Other wait times in the park include Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at 79 minutes, Tower of Terror at 72 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 67 minutes, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 61 minutes, and Toy Story Mania at 60 minutes. Toy Story Mania After that, Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 33 minutes, Walt Disney Presents averaged 16 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue averaged 16 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy averaged 13 minutes, and Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 10 minutes. If You Can Only Eat at ONE Hollywood Studios Restaurant — Let It Be THIS One Animal Kingdom And last but not least, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom! Avatar Flight of Passage still had the longest average wait time this park this week with 104 minutes. Last week, the ride had a 97-minute average, so this is yet another increase at the Avatar-themed attraction. Flight of Passage Following that, Na’vi River Journey at 68 minutes, Kali River Rapids at 45 minutes, Expedition Everest at 35 minutes, DINOSAUR at 34 minutes, and Kilimanjaro Safaris at 33 minutes. Baby zebra! It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 10 minutes and TriceraTop Spin averaged 8 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time.

Well, we survived the first day of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival We managed to eat ALL the food, and even made our way through Emile’s Montage Fromage (the cheese crawl). We chased a rat all over EPCOT for a scavenger hunt and enjoyed a concert and a special Spaceship Earth lighting show at the end of the evening. Well, we went back to EPCOT on the first Saturday of the festival (July 29th), and well, we’re going to warn you to NEVER do that. Yep, we’re telling you to do as we say and NOT as we do, because, y’all, EPCOT is VERY crowded right now. If you want an idea of HOW crowded, check out this video of what entering EPCOT looked like this morning. There are a LOT of people waiting to get in. Here’s another view of those crowds waiting to get inside EPCOT. WOW We popped into Creations Shop, where you’ll find a lot of the EPCOT Food and Wine merchandise, and yep, quite a few people were shopping the new collections (which you can see here).

We’ve spent an ABSURD amount of money on souvenirs in Disney World. Disney100 Merchandise Like, if we went back just over the last decade and tallied it all up with the members of our team, we wouldn’t be surprised if we could buy a CAR with that amount of money. And some of that is because we’re suckers for a cool merchandise collection, but some of it is because Disney souvenirs are just so darn expensive! Just when we think they can’t get any pricier, Disney goes and raises prices again (we’ve seen it happen a lot!). So today, we’re sharing the 6 souvenirs you should buy before Disney World raises the price…AGAIN. Spirit Jerseys We’re kicking off this list by talking about Spirit Jerseys! Back in 2021, these bad boys jumped in price from $69.99 each to $74.99, but now most adult designs will cost you $79.99 each. That’s $80, y’all! For a long-sleeve shirt! Peter Pan Adult Spirit Jersey The unfortunate thing is that most of the time, it’s not even Spirit Jersey weather in Disney World! They get pretty popular during the winter months, but otherwise, you’re probably buying something that you have to wait to wear until you get home. This is a great item to use that Annual Passholder merchandise discount on or to try and buy on sale on shopDisney. nuiMOs Back in 2021, Disney introduced the tiny little nuiMOs plushes, and at first, they were mostly just known for being overpriced. (They were $17.99 each at the time.) But recently, these itty bitty dolls have hit a bit of vogue, with people attaching them to the straps of their park bags and wearing them around like miniature companions. nuiMO display Since they were released, they’ve had TWO price increases. They first went up to $19.99, but now they’re usually $21.99. You can sometimes get the older nuiMOs at a discount on shopDisney, but since they’re really popular currently, we would encourage you to buy one before they get another price hike! Minnie Ears One of the most classic Disney souvenirs is a pair of Minnie ears — they’re never out of style! Because of that, Disney World doesn’t seem to have a problem with raising the price on this accessory periodically. Curtain Call In October 2022, most pairs of Minnie ears went from $29.99 to $34.99, marking a $5 price increase. We have a feeling that these will only get more expensive as time goes on, so if you see a pair you like, snag them while you can! Droid Depot Next up, we’ve got to talk about a souvenir that’s ALSO an experience. When Droid Depot opened with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019, it cost $99.99 per person to make a droid. In October 2022, that took a significant jump up to $119.99 per person. Droid Depot You have to pay for each person who wants to build a droid, although the builder can bring one guest to come and observe the experience. The droids are customizable, so they’re a pretty unique souvenir, but that means that Disney can likely justify price increases more easily. If you’ve been waiting to try this out, do it before it gets more expensive! Savi’s Workshop The other big experience that got pretty pricey is building a lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop. When Galaxy’s Edge opened, this cost $199.99 per person, but then it later jumped to $219.99. At the same time when Droid Depot increased, Savi’s Workshop got a SECOND price hike so it now costs a whopping $249.99. That’s 25% more expensive than when it opened! Savi’s Workshop Like Droid Depot, that’s the price you pay PER builder, though each builder gets a guest who can come inside and observe. We’ve seen this one get instant price increases in the past without much warning, so it’s another experience you should check off your to-do list if you’re on a tight budget. MagicBands And finally, let’s discuss MagicBands. A few years ago, the only option you could buy was a MagicBand 2, and the cheapest solid-color designs were $14.99 each. Plus, Disney World resort guests got a MagicBand for free with their stay. But then, Disney increased the price on those basic MagicBands to $19.99, took away the complimentary resort perk, and introduced the new MagicBand+. Minnie MagicBand+ Even though you can still buy the old MagicBands in the parks, you’ll more readily find the MagicBand+ around. It has interactive features and starts at $34.99 for simple designs, but the price goes all the way up to $64.99 for the most exclusive patterns! Resort guests get a small discount if the MagicBand+ is ordered through your hotel reservation, but either way, you’re shelling out a LOT more money than you used to. This one is $64.99! So if you’re interested in getting a MagicBand+ for your next trip, you might want to go ahead and start shopping! This is one of those things that Disney could quietly increase the price on — just one design at a time. Those are some of the souvenirs that you’d be best to buy NOW instead of waiting! Disney World gets price increases pretty frequently, and we don’t usually get much warning when it comes to merchandise.

We bet you’re walking right by one of the COOLEST shops in Magic Kingdom. Crystal Arts in Magic Kingdom We’re talking about Crystal Arts. Sure, you’ve probably peeked in the window, and maybe you’ve even seen the elaborate crystal Cinderella Castle there. Maybe you saw that AMAZING 50th Anniversary Tiara. But did you know you can also get some cool custom engraving and etching here, too? But there’s something else you can get here, too: custom 3D laser etching. The custom 3d laser etching machines at Crystal Arts are now up and running and ready for your business. You’ll find the etching area tucked away in a little corner of the store (behind that crystal Cinderella Castle in the display window). Head here! You’ll see a placard that tells you to scan a QR code, which will take you to a page with all the prices and options that you have for etching. Scan QR code From there, you can upload the photo you want to be turned into a 3D cube. ©Crystal Arts Several options are available, including a 3-D cube, with prices ranging from $95 to $165 (plus any other options you add on). 3D Cube You can also get a Keychain, starting at $35 (with additional keychains priced at $15), as well as add an etching of Mickey and Minnie for $19, the Walt Disney World logo for $10, and text for $15. Again, pricing will depend on the level of customization you choose for your piece. 2D laser etching is also available. ©Crystal Arts You might also want to consider a Rotating Light Base to add to your cube for $35. ©Crystal Arts Note that you will need a USB adapter for the light base to plug it into an outlet — those adapters are not sold in Disney World, but they look like this: Adapter Once you’ve made your order, you’ll need to see a Cast Member to complete the order and confirm your pick-up time. The minimum pick-up time for a 3D order is 3 hours, while the minimum pick-up time for a 2D order is an hour.

Part of the fun of a Disney trip is seeing all our favorite characters. Mickey and Minnie meet-and-greet in Animal Kingdom! Yes, we will hug Mickey EVERY chance we can get. We also love seeing his friends, like Donald and Daisy. We love seeing characters wandering around the parks, too. Now, though, it seems like two NEW characters may be headed to the Disney parks soon, and we can’t wait! We have a pretty good clue that these two new characters may be appearing soon because Disney recently posted some audition notices online. The first is Joe Gardner from Soul. According to the casting call, Joe will be appearing in Disneyland, but he’ll be played by actual jazz pianists, meaning Joe may be playing some live music for guests! ©Disney Disney is looking for a performer who can “play proficiently in the solo piano jazz style,” as well as “be able to engage with guests within the story of the film.” How fun! This sounds like it’s going to be a very cool — dare we say JAZZY — character to interact with in Disneyland. ©Disney But there’s also a new character coming to Disney World. Disney posted an audition notice in Disney World for Asha, who is the new character starring in the upcoming animated film Wish! The casting call is for Asha look-alikes with “with warm, engaging, and outgoing personalities.” ©Disney Asha is also described in the notice as “a driven, incredibly smart, sharp-witted 17-year-old who believes in the power of wishes and cares endlessly about her community of Rosas. Asha is an idealist and a leader in the making, even if she doesn’t recognize that just yet.” ©Disney We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for more announcements about these characters, and we’ll be sure to let you know when you will be able to see them in the parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Excuse us as we try not to start this post with “Welcome, Foolish Mortals,” but we simply can’t help ourselves. Haunted Mansion stuff is EVERYWHERE right now, and it’s got us ready for spooky season. Haunted Mansion The Haunted Mansion movie just debuted in movie theaters. To celebrate the new film, a TON of new Haunted Mansion merchandise is popping up all over the place. PLUS, we’ve got Haunted Mansion treats in the parks (and yes, we have already tried the spooky Madame Leota Crisped Rice Treat). Well, get ready for MORE snacks because we’ve got two more to tell you about in Disney World, and here’s a teaser: we would only make room for one more of these… So first up, we’ve got Ghoulish Delight Beignets. Yep, Mickey Beignets just got a Haunted Mansion upgrade. You get Three Mickey-shaped Beignets dusted with Cookies ‘n Cream Powdered Sugar and a ghoulish Marshmallow Crème Drizzle for $7.49. But how does this spooky Mickey beignet makeover taste? Ghoulish Delights Beignets We’ll start by saying that because these are Mickey beignets, they already get a gold star in our book. That warm, airy dough combined with powdered sugar pretty much always makes us happy. But these look SO cool with the grayish-white powder and purple icing, with the white marshmallow cream sauce on top. They give us that old decrepit mansion feel and make us ready for Halloween RIGHT NOW. SO spooky Oh, and the cookies and cream powder adds a nice sweet touch of flavor, and the marshmallow creme just makes our favorite beignets EVEN BETTER. You get three Mickey-shaped beignets. We love these! The only bad news about these beignets is that if you’re not staying at Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter Resort, you might have to make a special trip over to the hotel to get these beignets. They’re available at Scat Cat’s Club — Cafe. Honestly, though, we’d travel there again just for spooky beignets. Okay, well, we have room for one more Haunted Mansion treat (sorry, we can’t help it), but as we previously teased, this one wasn’t as ghoulishly delightful. We decided to check out the Haunted Mansion Peanut Butter and Jelly Pop for $5.49, and well, we’ll just tell you what we think about it. It’s cute This is a Layered push pop of peanut butter, grape jelly, and crumble pieces topped with chopped peanuts. We thought that the presentation of the treat is cute, and after you get past the first crunchy layer, the peanut butter is smooth, but the jelly tasted like a spread you get at the grocery store, and it wasn’t anything special. A look at the layers Overall, we thought this treat was pretty basic. It’s not terrible, but we’ve seen better pops in Disney World with inventive layers and decorations like the Stretching Room Portrait Pops. It’s cute, but it also looks like it was a little thrown together. Disney, we know you can do better. We’ll also warn you that this treat can get messy, so have napkins handy. Who knows, maybe this treat will improve over time! It’s available at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom if you’re interested. Still, a little basic Stay tuned to DFB for more reviews and Disney news! WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World!

Disney World ain’t just for kids anymore (okay, technically it’s always been for kids and adults but just stick with us here.) Mango Punch Cocktail In fact, the parks and hotels have become someone of a haven for folks looking to imbibe a bit and take the edge off. Of course, we’re talking about BOOZE, people, and Disney World has a lot of it. By now, you’ve probably heard of Drinking Around the World at EPCOT, but what if we told you there was another park where you could drink around the world? There is, and we’re going to take you with us! We bet you’ve never thought about drinking around the world somewhere other than EPCOT — but you can! Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to a few different geographical locations — both real and fictional. We’ve rounded up some iconic drinks in each land, so cheers — let’s get to drinkin’! Night Blossom, Pongu Pongu — Pandora: World of Avatar We’re kicking things off in Pandora – the World of AVATAR, by making our way over to Pongu Pongu. It’s here you’ll find our next favorite frozen drink, the Night Blossom. Colorfully crafted with limeade, apple, and desert pear flavors, the drink is topped off with passion fruit boba balls. Night Blossom from Pongu Pongu And even though this is non-alcoholic, you can ask them to spike it to make it a Rum Blossom! Check Out Our Review of the Rum Blossom! Ngumu Jungle Juice, Dawa Bar — Africa POG (or passion fruit, orange, and guava) is a juice blend that originated in Hawaii, but you’ll find it all around Disney World. One of our favorite spots to get it is Dawa Bar — because it’s spiked! Oh, POG Juice, how we love thee. This version (called Ngumu Jungle Juice) is made with Snow Leopard Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps and Tusker’s famous Jungle Juice. Fair warning though, this one goes down almost too easily — so drink at your own risk. POG Juice is BACK With a NEW Supplier in Disney World (And We Have Some THOUGHTS) African Margarita, Dawa Bar — Africa The African Margarita at Dawa Bar deviates from a traditional margarita thanks to the addition of Van der Hum —a tangerine liqueur from South Africa. African Margarita That hint of tangerine citrus brightens up an already lime-heavy drink. Review: New and Old Favorites at the Dawa Bar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Yak Attack, Yak & Yeti — Asia We’ve always been fond of Yak and Yeti Restaurant and Local Food Cafes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Aside from having a cool name, Yak Attack is made with Mango Daiquiri, Don Q Cristal, and Rum and Wildberry Flavors. It sounds like a taste of summer, doesn’t it? Yak Attack We’re going to say it’s a very berry-forward flavored drink, although you can still taste the rum. Review: Yak Attack at Quality Beverages in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Khumbu Icefall, Thirsty River Bar — Asia The trek over to Asia, or the wobbly-legged walk back after seeing a Yeti, is the best time to try this next frozen favorite at the Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks. The Khumbu Icefall brings the fruity freshness of raspberry and coconut puree together with Cruzan Guava Rum. Khumbu Icefall This is a seriously refreshing drink that has SO much fruity flavor. It will give you just the courage — and the cooldown — to continue on to your Everest ascent. BRAIN FREEZE ALERT! Our FAVORITE Frozen Drinks Around Disney World! Himalayan Ghost, Thirsty River Bar — Asia Sticking to Asia, but moving over to Thirsty River Bar, we’re grabbing the Himalayan Ghost! This fruity drink is made with Snow Leopard Vodka, Guava and Minute Maid Premium Lemonade. Himalayan Ghost There are not many ingredients to this drink, but the taste is beyond smooth and effective. It tastes like a mix of fruit punch, and lemonade mixed together well so you can’t really even taste the vodka. It’s definitely a bit on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for something less sugar-heavy. Old Elephant Foot IPA, TriloBites — DinoLand U.S.A. And of course, it wouldn’t be a trip around Animal Kingdom without a stop at DinoLand, U.S.A. — and more specifically, TriloBites! For the beer drinkers out there, grab the Tampa Bay Brewing Company Old Elephant Foot IPA. This one is Animal Kingdom-specific, so you won’t find it in other spots around Disney World. It smells like sweet, like citrusy hops. This IPA is very smooth. It’s a light to medium-body hopped beer. A sweet citrus flavor is what you taste first followed by a slight bitterness at the end of your sip. This is a good walking around and drinking beer — perfect for the summer and walking around the parks. Old Elephant Foot IPA Remember to stay hydrated when you’re drinking around the world! Our rule of thumb is a cup of water for every drink we have. Trust us, the alternative is not fun and can easily ruin your day.
