Disney Springs has a TON of limited-time treats right now! Restaurants in Disney Springs are celebrating the Flavors of Florida with specialty eats and treats that feature the flavors of the Sunshine State. Flavors of Florida Sign 2022 We’re heading in to check out a BUNCH of these Florida-themed snacks. Come along with us to help us decide which are the BEST and which you’ll want to SKIP. Orange Cream Puff — Amorette’s Patisserie This is a choux pastry with orange craquelin filled with orange curd and honey orange gel for $8. Orange Cream Puff We loved this treat! It doesn’t have an overly strong orange flavor despite having so much of it mentioned in the description, and the orange curd was light and packed with flavor. So cute! The honey-orange gel was good, but it almost tasted like a melted gummy fruit snack in the center, so we would have been fine with just the orange curd inside. We also found the puff pastry to be a little hard to cut into, but we understand it’s because it has to keep all that orange goodness inside! Yum! Overall, if you like puff pastries and oranges, give this one a try! Orange Bird Dome Cake — Amorette’s Patisserie The Orange Bird Dome Cake is made with layers of Grand Marnier-soaked vanilla chiffon cake, mandarin pâte de fruit, mandarin orange cream, and white chocolate crispy pearls. This cake is $65 (!!!), so be prepared to fork over a pretty big stack of cash for this dessert. Orange Bird Dome Cake It’s pricey, but we know Amorette’s usually doesn’t disappoint with its flavors, so if you want to split it with a few friends and split the cost, we hope you love it! Orange Cream Float — Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar This float is a mix of Coca-Cola, vanilla ice cream, and an orange cream bar presented in a novelty cup you can take home for $12. Orange Cream Float We’ve got one word for this: nostalgia. The flavor of the ice cream really brought out the spice (yes, there’s spice flavoring in Coke) in the syrup of the soda. If you grew up with floats, it’s a refreshing treat on a hot day and might spark conversation between generations after you’re seen with one. Super refreshing! However, this treat is messy! The ice cream melts fast, meaning the drink starts to spill over, so be sure to grab some napkins. If you’re a fan of soda and ice cream, we highly recommend this treat. Frozen Orange Daiquiri — Dockside Margaritas The Frozen Orange Daiquiri is made with Siesta Key Silver rum, Cointreau liqueur, orange juice, and vanilla ice cream garnished with an orange wedge. It can be yours for $16.50. Frozen Orange Daiquiri We enjoyed the Margarita, but it almost tasted like a smoothie with the added orange juice and vanilla soft-serve ice cream. You can really distinguish the orange flavor and the cream from the ice cream, but it tastes just like a creamsicle Margarita. Very refreshing! We think the ice cream made it a little hard to drink through the straw we were given, but we really have no complaints about the drink itself! Delicious! If you’re looking for a summery, refreshing drink that definitely tastes strongly of orange, give this one a try! Key Lime Chocolate Chip Cookie — Gideon’s Bakehouse This Gideon’s cookie is made with vanilla bean cookie dough infused with Florida Key lime juice and blanketed with premium chocolate chips and special Key lime pie crumbs. Grab one for $6. We’ve tried a Key Lime cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse in the past and LOVED it, so we had high expectations for this treat. Key Lime Chocolate Chip Cookie We loved the cookie dough — the vanilla was good and the key lime flavor was a fun sweet/citrusy kick (it wasn’t overwhelming, just enough to make it interesting). The cookie dough was soft and deliciously decadent. The key lime pie crumbs were a fun texture as well! We love Gideon’s Cookies! This one really is messy, though, so be sure to grab some napkins. Honestly, we would have preferred fewer chocolate chips on this one (they melted all over our hands!). If you REALLY love chocolate and key lime, grab this one, but prepare for a potentially long wait since Gideon’s is so popular! Orange Mocha Nitro Cold Brew — Gideon’s Bakehouse And we can’t forget the coffee! This is dessert coffee made with locally roasted beans, maple syrup, rich dark chocolate, and delicious Florida oranges for $6. Orange Mocha Nitro Cold Brew This was a fun mix of flavors! We liked the sweet, rich flavor of the maple mixed with the citrusy kick to balance it out. It was very unique, so we’re sure not everyone will love this. The chocolate flavor is also VERY prominent, so if you love the flavor combination of chocolate and orange, you’ll likely really enjoy this! VERY chocolatey! This is described as a dessert coffee due to its sweetness, so watch out if you’re not big on overly-sweet coffees. Buzzin Honey Latte — Joffrey’s The new latte is a buzzing combo of espresso, milk, honey, and vanilla syrup topped with cold foam and a special character. It can be yours for $6.49. Buzzin Honey Latte This was a nice creamy latte! The coffee was smooth and not bitter at all, and the honey added a nice sweetness. This is very similar to the honey nut latte Joffrey’s had for the Flower and Garden Festival (which was for Annual Passholders only). If you didn’t get the chance to try the AP-exclusive drink, this could be a great alternative! Adorable! The bee image didn’t last very long, we would have liked more cold foam on top, and we wish it had Honey Nut Cheerios like the Flower and Garden Festival version. But overall, we recommend this for all coffee and honey lovers! (Unless you’re #TeamStarbucks through and through) Pizza Diavola — Pizza Ponte This pizza is made with Salame Calabrese and chili with local Orlando petal honey. It’ll cost you $8.75. Pizza Diavola The portion is quite large, so bring your appetite! The crust was soft but had a great garlic hint to it. The toppings taste very fresh and the meats had a really nice low spice to them in the aftertaste! It’s HUGE! We only caught the honey flavor in certain bites, so other than that and the extra spices, it kinda just tasted like a normal pepperoni slice. This one didn’t particularly stand out to us. It wasn’t bad but it isn’t one of our top recommendations. Key West Pink Shrimp Ceviche — Polite Pig Over at the Polite Pig, we tried the Key West Pink Shrimp Ceviche, which is made with shrimp, smoked melon, shishito peppers, and local tomato vinaigrette with a drizzle of hot honey. It’ll cost you $20. Key West Pink Shrimp Ceviche This was loaded with flavor! The shrimp was tender, so juicy, and sweet. The shishito peppers and corn almost tasted like a giardiniera (probably from the vinaigrette) — they had a nice vinegary bite and were a tad spicy and sweet. Looks so good! The smoked watermelon was SO unique — the sweet/smoky flavor was a good combo, and the melon itself stayed refreshingly crisp. Watermelon While we really liked this snack, it is a unique combo. The vinegary flavor was great for summer, and the smoked watermelon also had a fun texture, but if you don’t like certain textures in your foods, you probably wouldn’t love it. It’s also decently spicy and pretty pricey! Shrimp If you’re looking to try something unique and you enjoy shrimp and spice, don’t be afraid to give this one a try. Exquisito Guanabana Stracciatella — Salt & Straw This unique ice cream flavor is tropical guanabana sherbet swirled with ribbons of dark chocolate Stracciatella with a floral undertone. It’ll cost you $7.25 for a single scoop in a cup. Exquisito Guanabana Stracciatella All the flavors worked really well together! The Colombian dark chocolate gives a great crunch to the bite while it’s still frozen, and the Guanabana fruit mixes in to create a really great combination. So delicious That said, it’s pretty standard (minus the different fruit flavors) since it’s set against vanilla ice cream and ultimately just felt like a jazzed-up ice cream with hard-shell chocolate mixed in. Take a bite! If you like fruity flavors, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate, we say give it a try! Orange Creamsicle Churro — Sunshine Churros Our next treat is a churro rolled in orange sugar, topped with cream cheese frosting, and a sprinkle of orange and white toppings. It costs $7.95 or $7.10 after a 10% Instagram discount (just show them that you follow them on Instagram)! Orange Creamsicle Churro This is a pretty basic snack. We loved the sweet icing flavor against the sugar flakes, and the sprinkles were fun, but they didn’t add much to the flavor. It’s definitely shareable! This snack is definitely shareable, and if you’re a churro lover, you’ll likely enjoy this treat. Orange Bird Sundae — Swirls on the Water This is made with DOLE Whip Orange in a vanilla waffle bowl with whipped cream, green sprinkles, and an Orange Bird chocolate decoration. It only costs $6.49! Orange Bird Sundae The dole whip was light, bright, and tart, and since it was a tad icy rather than creamy, the whipped cream went really well with it. The waffle bowl was tasty as well! It’s pretty big too! The only thing we didn’t like was the white chocolate Orange Bird piece on the top because it had a weird texture. But other than that, if you love orange and Dole Whip, we say snatch this one up! These are just a few of the limited-time treats. Check out ALL of the Flavors of Florida eats here! So what do you think? Which of these treats would you add to your must-try list?

It’s still toward the beginning of summer, but the crowds are rolling into Disney World. Crowds We’ve seen wait times continue to climb and climb and 4th of July is right around the corner. However, we actually have some GOOD news to bring you about the long wait times — some major Hollywood Studios lines are getting shorter! Don’t get us wrong, the wait times are still long in that park. But the two rides with the longest wait times saw a pretty big drop in average wait times this week! Check out all of the average wait times below to see which rides you should prioritize on your next Disney World trip! 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 82 minutes, so the time has increased this week.

It’s no secret that a LOT of things are getting more expensive in Disney World. Grand Floridian Resort We’ve seen the price of food go up. We’ve seen the price of souvenirs go up. We’ve seen the price of Disney World tickets go up. Recently, we saw the price of Magic Kingdom fireworks cruises increase by 30%. The same can be said for hotel rooms, and that’s something that will continue to get more expensive, but by how much? Well, let’s find out. According to hospitalitynet.org, the average price of hotel rooms will go up a little over 3 percent in 2024 (as compared to hotel room prices in 2023). For example, if you paid $150 for a hotel room in 2023, you should expect to pay around $155 for that same room in 2024. ©Statista So let’s see how this would affect prices for a Disney World deluxe resort: prices for the week of July 16th through 22nd, 2023 for Disney’s Yacht Club Resort are $493.71 per night. In 2024 for the same week, that room may cost between $508.52 and $591.67 per night. Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Let’s look at a moderate resort. In 2023, that same week costs $261.45 per night at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. In 2024, that room could cost about $270 per night with a 3% price increase, though the Disney World website currently has its standard view rooms priced at $302 per night. Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter When looking at value resorts, we saw that the room rate for that week for Disney’s All-Star Music Resort is $152.58 per night. In 2024, that rate could climb to anywhere between $157-$189 per night. All-Star Music Resort Now, keep in mind that the 2023 rates we looked at include a 25% off hotel rooms promotion, so it’s likely Disney World rooms could cost a bit more in 2024. However, the good news is that Disney has started releasing more promotions like that, so you could end up saving money in 2024 if that trend continues. Coronado Springs For example, that 25% hotel discount is good from July 11th to August 20th and September 15th to September 28th. You can also save 30% off most nights from August 21st to September 14th. There are also hotel room deals available for the holiday season for select Disney World visitors. Disney’s Contemporary Resort So although hotel prices will probably go up next year, there are ways to find deals and discounts. We’ll be sure to share ALL of them with you, too, so stay tuned to DFB for more. Another GREAT way to save money on your Disney World trip is by planning your food budget and sticking to it!

Congratulations! You’re planning a Disney Cruise! ©Disney You’ve read all about the food, activities, and fun on a Disney Cruise, but now it’s time to pack! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. So, how much can you pack? How big can the bags be? How will you get your luggage onto the cruise ship? We’re answering all your questions about Disney Cruise Line luggage rules! Disney Cruise Line Packing Rules First things first: There are a number of things you can’t take on board a Disney Cruise Line ship. Those items are: Agricultural items such as flowers, plants, fruit, etc. Air, BB, pellet, paintball pistols, rifles and sling shots Archery equipment Balloons Baseball and cricket bats Bicycles Blenders Boogie boards Bottle sterilizers and warmers (a limited number of approved bottle warmers and bottle sterilizers are available upon request through Guest Services on board) Candles Coffee makers Diffusers Diving equipment, including air tanks, spears, spear guns, slings, dive knives, pry bars and underwater scooters Drug paraphernalia Electric blankets Electric irons Emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRB), communication scanners and wideband receivers Explosives components and accessories, including ammunition, detonators, fireworks, pyrotechnics and flares Extension cords Firearms Firearm replicas, including non-firing, imitations, toys and their components (except these toys are allowed on board: Store-bought light sabers, Plastic toy “pirate” swords, Plastic store-bought toy “Mjolnir” hammers — Thor’s hammer) Fishing gear Footwear with wheels (such as Heelys roller shoes) Ham radios Hammocks Heating elements Heating pads Highly flammable liquids and combustible substances, including liquid oxygen Hockey and lacrosse sticks Homemade, precooked or perishable foods or open food containers Hookah pipes Hot plates Hover boards Ice chests or coolers (except for Coolers no larger than 12″ x 12″ x 12″ (30.5cm x 30.5cm x 30.5cm), as carry-on luggage only for storing medications, baby food or nonperishable items related to dietary restrictions only) Illegal narcotics/drugs Incense burners Inflatable mattresses Inflatable pools, rafts, floats, etc. Inline and roller skates Kites Knives (regardless of blade length) Lasers Marijuana (including medically prescribed marijuana) Metal detectors Microwave ovens Musical instruments Over-the-door hanging organizers Over-the-door hooks Pepper spray Pets Pool cues Pool noodles Power strips Power tools, hand tools and toolboxes Remote-controlled devices: Airplanes Drones Helicopters Toy vehicles Star Wars droids Rice cookers Roller or inline skates Scissors with blades exceeding 4″ (scissors with blunt ends and no longer than 4 inches are allowed) Scooters Segways Ski poles Steamers Straight razors Stun guns Toasters and toaster ovens Seasonal and/or strands of celebratory lightbulbs Skateboards Streaming devices (Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Roku, etc.) Surge protectors Surf boards Tasers Wagons (collapsible wagons are allowed) Wave boards ©Disney Additionally, there are some items that you can bring on board, but they are subject to inspection: Baby monitors Humidifiers Portable fans Sleep machines White noise machines So, what happens if you pack a prohibited item in your luggage? Well, that item will be confiscated, and your luggage will likely be held up in the screening process — which means it may take a lot longer to get to your state room. Happy 25th, Disney Cruise Line! Disney Cruise Line Alcohol Rules As you might imagine, there are rules about bringing alcohol on board your Disney Cruise — but it’s not totally prohibited. First off, don’t pack alcohol in your checked luggage — it will be confiscated and result in delays on your luggage being delivered to your stateroom. You can, however, bring alcohol on board in your carry-on — up to 2 750-ml bottles of wine or sparkling wine or 6 12-oz. beers. You can enjoy these beverages in your stateroom. If you take a bottle of wine you brought with you into a dining room, that’s fine, too — just note that you will be charged a $26 corkage fee. Disney Wish Disney Cruise Line Luggage Limits Packing for a cruise is a lot like packing for a flight — you are allowed a personal item (like a purse, fanny pack or backpack), a carry-on, and two pieces of checked luggage per person. You will receive luggage tags for the two pieces of checked luggage prior to your cruise. Your carry-on cannot be larger than 22 inches high, 14 inches wide and 9 inches deep. Hey, Mickey! At the port, you will check your suitcases with porters, and keep your personal item and carry-on with you. Your suitcases will be delivered to your stateroom a few hours after you board. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind: It will usually be an hour or two after you board before you can go to your stateroom. Keep this in mind when deciding on carry-ons. Do you need something to roll with you rather than a bag you have to carry around? Does everyone in your party NEED a carry-on, or can you get by with one? Pack computers, tablets and anything else fragile in a carry-on. You will also want to keep medications with you. If you are bringing alcohol on board in accordance with the Disney Cruise Line rules, it will need to be in your carry-on. Many people pack swimsuits, cover-ups and sunscreen in their carry-on, as the pools usually open shortly after you board, and you may not have your checked luggage yet. Packing for your Disney Cruise shouldn’t be stressful — but it is important to follow the luggage rules, so that your trip gets off to a great start! One of the best tips we can give you for taking a Disney Cruise is to use a travel-agent who specializes in Disney! They know the ins and outs of every cruise ship, and keep up with all the discounts and deals available for your trip — and their services are free to you. We have used Small World Vacations for years to book our Disney travel, and we recommend you use them, too! Hope this has been helpful!

We’re just going to say it: Disney World Cast Members ARE the magic. Disney Cast Members by a Clap Box We love to see Disney World Cast Members go above and beyond to take care of visitors, but they also make us smile with things like water art, making Mickeys out of flowers, and showering us with little magical moments throughout each day. They’re also our heroes, and we recently experienced another perfect example of just how amazing Cast Members can be — get ready for story time! We woke up bright and early and managed to hop on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Now, if you know anything about this ride, you’ll know that part of what makes it SO much fun is the soundtrack. This ride zooms you through the galaxy with six different songs from an epic playlist of classic hits. Songs include “September,” “Disco Inferno,” “Conga,” “Everybody Wants To Rule The World, “I Ran,” and “One Way or Another.” It is SO much fun. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind But during our most recent ride, the music cut out after about 30 seconds, and then the ride was eerily quiet. No fun at all, right? In fact, flying through space without any sound is a little depressing — especially when we were in the middle of jamming out to some music! Guardians queue Well, a Cast Member totally made it up to us by allowing our whole train to stay on the ride and do it all over again (and this time WITH the music). How nice was that? We didn’t expect this little magical moment, but that’s what makes those moments so fun, right? So THANK YOU for letting us experience the ride the way it was supposed to be, Disney! Cosmic Rewind queue We’ll let you know if any other magical moments happen to us in the parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more. When are you headed to Disney World next?

As much as we enjoy vacation, there’s no doubt that traveling can sometimes be a stressful experience.

Hey, Disney fans — you’re NOT going to want to miss this. Cinderella Castle We’ve seen lots of cool Disney merch in the last few months, including some fun Loungefly backpacks, 100th anniversary souvenirs, and even a Haunted Mansion animatronic you can have in your own home.

Bring your appetite, your whip, and your best fedora because we’re going to the Disney parks to try some NEW Indiana Jones-inspired treats! Who’s ready for a dessert-filled adventure? That’s the BEST kind of adventure, right? Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular Recently, Disney shared a whole LIST of new snacks coming to both Disney World AND Disneyland Resort. Now, we can’t wait a moment longer — let’s go try some treats! First up, we headed to Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs. This little patisserie is filled with sweets, but today we’re here for the new Indiana Jones Petit Cake. Let’s be honest here; this cake was MADE for photos. The cake features Indiana Jones’s signature hat and whip — Amorette’s basically transformed Indiana Jones into a CAKE! Just LOOK at it! This cake is an inspiration of Moroccan flavors with Vanilla Chiffon, Dates, Candied Almonds, Almond Mousse, and Spiced Simple Syrup. And y’all…this just might make a “Best of” list because this cake is AMAZING. The spiced simple syrup combined with the almond mousse gives it a sweet, but almost cinnamon-like flavor. All those fun Indy details The mix of all the layers in this baby with the dates and candied almonds almost gives us banana nut bread vibes, too. We honestly can’t say anything negative about it, although we did kinda wish it also had some bananas in it. But Amorette’s totally nailed this treat with its flavors AND look. Those layers, though Over on the west coast, we headed to Bengal Barbecue at Disneyland Park to try The Forbidden Turnover. Ooh! Sounds ominous but intriguing! The turnover is filled with Mango, Pineapple, and Passion fruit. It’s the Forbidden Eye Again, Disney NAILED it with this treat. The outside of the turnover had the PERFECT flakey texture and tasted like a sweet bread. The inside filling had a jelly-like texture with a refreshing tropical fruit flavor. This is another snack we can’t find a big fault with! SO tasty We’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney snacks, so be sure to stay tuned for more foodie news and snack reviews!

When it comes to planning your Disney World vacation, certain aspects of planning are more stressful than others. Cinderella Castle Booking hotel rooms at Disney World is one thing that brings some Disney World visitors a lot of stress. Will the hotel we want have available rooms for when we are hoping to purchase tickets? Will our desired experience fit within our budget? How can we save money while still getting the hotel experience we want? These are questions that we receive ALL the time — and they’re excellent questions, indeed! Booking hotel rooms at Disney World can be stressful for sure, but if you know a few secrets and tricks, it doesn’t have to be. There are a few things that Disney World won’t tell you when it comes to the hotel booking process. However, we’re gonna do you a favor and share those secrets with you. Let’s go! How to Upgrade Your Disney World Hotel Room So, let’s be frank, here. There’s no guarantee that the Cast Members will upgrade your hotel room. However, these are our best tricks for scoring an upgrade based on what has worked for us in the past. Firs, and most importantly, be kind to the Cast Members and hotel staff that are helping you. When checking in at the front desk, tell the Cast Members about your stay! Are you celebrating something big? Is this your first visit in a while? Cast Members might offer you an upgrade as a magical moment if you simply share with them the details of your trip. Caribbean Beach You can also try checking in later in the day. At the end of the day, hotel staff has a better idea of what rooms are open and what rooms aren’t, so they might be able to provide you with an upgrade at the end of the day. You should also consider when you’re visiting as well. If you’re visiting at a busier time of year, your chances of getting a room upgrade aren’t as high. Oh, and if you’re really wanting to upgrade? Just ASK! The Cast Members will usually help you out the best they can. Ignore Disney’s Marketing Language Disney, just like the rest of us, is trying to make some moolah. The marketing language on the website when booking your hotel room is usually just that — marketing language. For example, icons will pop up that tell you that rooms are going fast. Or that, “for this booking ONLY” you can get a deal, when in reality you can get the same deals on other hotel rooms. Art of Animation Resort When booking via Disney’s website, there’s a great chance that Disney is simply trying to get you to book as fast as possible. Take your time on the website and choose the hotel room that’s best for you. Not So Magical Things DO Happen It’s rare, but things can go awry at even Disney World resort hotels. The small children next door to your room or right above you could keep you up all night. We’ve heard of situations where visitors have had bed bugs. We’ve even heard of visitors getting food poisoning from the hotel restaurants! Port Orleans Riverside No matter the situation, tell a Cast Member immediately and see what they can do to help you. After all, they’re there to help you and are usually more than happy to! If you have an issue with your room, call the front desk and you’ll likely be able to get a new room. The moral of the story is that with the help of Cast Members, your Disney World hotel dreams have a better chance at coming true, and your problems have a better chance of being solved! Just COMMUNICATE your needs and wants for your vacation! We’ll be sure to give you all the best tips and tricks when it comes to booking your Disney World vacation, so make sure to follow along for more.

Things are getting spruced up all over Disney World. Disney Springs Magic Kingdom’s Splash Mountain is being transformed into a NEW attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new Moana-themed attraction is coming to EPCOT soon, and a new bakery/restaurant is coming to Disney’s BoardWalk. However, some changes are happening over in Disney Springs, too, and we spotted a BIG change today in one store! If you’ve been to Disney Springs recently, you may have noticed that the Tren-D shop has been closed for a little while. Well, that store reopened today with a BRAND NEW look! Tren-D in Disney Springs Here’s what the inside of the shop looked like previously: Tren-D BEFORE Well, the color scheme and the whole LOOK and feel of the shop have changed. Here’s what the newly-reopened Tren-D looks like when you walk in! It looks COMPLETELY different. SO different Now, the store seems a little more streamlined, and the color palette consists of soft, light pastels. There’s a TOTAL Disney princess vibe happening, too. Check out the pretty flowers on the wall! Love the floral theme There are also some NEW little details to spot, like this adorable silhouette of the Aristocats… The Aristocats! …and this silhouette of Lumiere and Cogsworth. CUTE! Lumiere and Cogsworth We also noticed that the dressing rooms are now gone, and the register station is completely different. We love the “Making Fairy Tales Fashionable” sign. Making fairytales fashionable There’s even a little comfy seating area with two chairs and some small tables. They’re perfect for all those reluctant shopping companions that need a place to wait for the shoppers in their group. Seating area The whole mood of the shop is so different now! We love it!

Gideon’s Bakehouse Okay, so we’ve already started trying some of the new Fourth of July snacks in Disney World, but there are also some new snacks to check out in Disney Springs, thanks to the Flavors of Florida event. However, one of our FAVORITE snack spots in Disney Springs is releasing even MORE new treats this month that you’re going to WANT to try. Yep, it’s time to head to Gideon’s Bakehouse for the Key Lime Chocolate Chip Cookie. This cookie is returning for Flavors of Florida and it’s made with Vanilla Bean Cookie Dough infused with Florida Key Lime Juice and covered with Chocolate Chips and Gideon’s special Key Lime Pie Crumbs. Key Lime Chocolate Chip Cookie Now, we’ve had this cookie in the past and thought it was delicious. It’s VERY chocolatey, but the key lime juice really adds a bit of tartness to it that just brings all the flavors together. To sum it up: YUM. But that’s not the only delicious cookie returning to Gideon’s this month. The Toasted Coconut Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie is also back! This one is a MUST for coconut lovers. It’s a Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie “fused” with Vanilla Bean Dough with Homemade Salted Caramel and Coconut Cream. It’s topped with Shaved Toasted Coconut. Toasted Coconut Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Craving cake instead? Gideon’s Coconut Cream Cake is also back this month. This is a three-layer Vanilla Cake covered with Coconut Cream Buttercream. The cake also has Homemade Salted Caramel Ribbons between the layers and Toasted Coconut on the outside. This cake slice is available every Wednesday and Saturday.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Disney World food is inconsistent. MICKEY WAFFLES at Garden Grill Disney fries are served piping hot and fresh one moment, and cold and hard the next. We’ve had fresh, delicious churros, and we’ve almost broken a tooth on one that was cold and stale (ok, not really, but it wasn’t great). Trying to decide where to eat through all of this confusion can be a challenge, but thankfully, there are a few restaurants that just hit different. We mean the old standbys that we can rely on time and time again. Let’s take a look at three of the restaurants that haven’t let us down yet. Columbia Harbour House Ok, so you’re in Magic Kingdom, and iconic snacks are everywhere. We’re talking Mickey pretzels, DOLE whips, and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, people. But, you’re looking for a place to get a substantial lunch, and you can’t figure out what makes the most sense. We’re in love with cheeseburger spring rolls and we don’t care who knows it! Sure, Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is full of energy (and tunes from the zany alien crooner downstairs, when he’s there), but does the food always knock it out of the park? Not exactly. Sure, we’ve had some really tasty eats here, but when we’re counting on a place to really give the name “theme park food” a fighting chance, we go to Columbia Harbour House. Columbia Harbour House First of all, this place is great for seafood lovers looking for a good option when they’re in the parks. We’ve had fresh and satisfying Grilled Salmon and Grilled Shrimp Skewers. When we’re looking for something heartier and more comforting, the Trio Platter is full of deliciously fried food. Grilled Shrimp Skewer But, even those who don’t want seafood can find some amazing options here. We’ve been blown away by the Mixed Greens Salad that was topped with perfectly fried Chicken Strips. There are even Plant-based options on the menu! Mixed Greens Salad So, between the consistently good food and options for everyone to enjoy, Columbia Harbour House is a great, reliable option when you’re looking for a meal in the park. Garden Grill Restaurant Alright, now you want a table-service meal that you can count on to knock it out of the park. Guess what? Garden Grill does just that — and it’s a character meal! With character meals, the food isn’t always memorable, to say the least. You’re usually paying for the experience — but Garden Grill is a (not-so-hidden) gem that has great characters and good food. Garden Grill Guests get to say hello to (and hug, of course) Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale in this family-style dining location. But the cool part is it’s right above Living With the Land and much of the produce is even sourced from the greenhouses down below. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the dining room SPINS. Don’t worry, it’s really slow. But, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of scenes from the attraction downstairs as you pass by (ever so slowly). Farmer Mickey! As we mentioned, the food here is reliable. It’s all you care to enjoy, and the rotating menu for lunch and dinner can include grilled steak, roasted chicken, and sustainable fish of the day. Dinner And don’t forget, the character breakfast has returned! The food at breakfast is your standard breakfast fare — save for the delicious Cinnamon Breakfast Loaf and Cheesy Potato Casserole. Cinnamon Breakfast Loaf Overall, we think Garden Grill is a consistently great choice! Raglan Road Lastly, you’ve decided to spend a night in Disney Springs. Raglan Road offers up some authentic Irish dishes with a contemporary twist — and some of the best entertainment on property! Raglan Road On the weekend, the Rollicking Raglan Brunch serves adventurous eats in a fun, pub-style atmosphere, complete with the Rhythms of Raglan Dance Show on the Main Stage. You’ll find unique options here, like The Irish Porker and the Stars & Scrumpet Breakfast. Brunch AND Lunch! Later in the day, try the Fish & Chips or the Shepherd’s to Die for Pie! If you like a lively atmosphere and enjoy trying new foods — Raglan Road is a pretty solid option that has been consistently great when we’ve been. Fish and Chips What do you think?

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening next year in Disney World and Disneyland, and we’ve gotten some pretty major updates on the attraction recently! ©Disney Tiana’s Bayou Adventure concept art We learned more about the music for the ride, saw the water tower go up in front, and heard details about the animatronics. Now, Disney has revealed another Tiana-themed update! At the ESSENCE Fest in New Orleans, Disney showed off Tiana’s NEW look! We’ve seen this outfit in concept art for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure already, but this is our first time seeing it come to life. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Concept Art ©Disney It looks like this new outfit might be part of a new Princess Tiana meet-and-greet in the parks, but Disney didn’t confirm that. You can still meet Princess Tiana in Magic Kingdom over at Princess Fairytale Hall, but in Fantasyland, she’s wearing her ballgown instead of this adventurer’s outfit. ©Disney We can’t wait to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens in Disney World and Disneyland in late 2024! Model of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at the 2022 D23 Expo And don’t forget that Disneyland is also getting a NEW Princess and the Frog-themed restaurant, called Tiana’s Palace. ©Disney Could a similar restaurant be coming to Disney World too?? Disney hasn’t said anything yet, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed! 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!

If only we could do it every day, right? Disney World Is it just us, or do you also find yourself thinking about your next Disney vacation while you’re still on your CURRENT Disney vacation?

It’s clear that Disney still isn’t quite ready to let it go because an all-new Frozen-themed land is coming! ©Disney World of Frozen in Hong Kong Disneyland will be home to the first-ever Frozen-themed coaster, Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs. The ride was “built” by Wandering Oaken himself and is powered with the help of Olaf and Sven. And, Disney Imagineering just shared a NEW look at the ride queue! Disney is opening the new World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland in November 2023! The new land is based on animation styles from Disney’s Frozen films — and it will be like stepping into a Summer Snow Day celebration commemorating when Anna saved Elsa with an act of true love. ©Disney We’ve been keeping up with the updates Disney has shared, and recently got a look at some new concept art. But now, Disney Imagineering has shared a peek at the queue for Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs!

If you can navigate the Disney parks without a park map, you deserve a medal; it’s not easy memorizing all the paths, buildings, and secret stairs in Disney’s HUGE theme parks. Disney California Adventure Whether you grab those Disney park maps for the sake of your collection or you just need to find out where you’re going, maps are an ESSENTIAL part of Disney vacations. And now, one Disney park map has a NEW look — let’s check it out! Recently, we noticed that the Disneyland Park map was updated to replace the Splash Mountain attraction with a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure preview. That makes all those old Disneyland Park maps a RELIC of the past — you might just have a collectible lying around at home! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on the park map But now, it’s Disney California Adventure’s turn for a little map makeover. Check out the new design! New map alert! We know they say don’t judge a book by its cover, but what about park maps? The new cover features the Rogers: The Musical logo in honor of the NEW limited-time show in Disney California Adventure. We got a preview of the show ahead of its debut, and we were SUPER impressed with the production. Now, you can pick up a little park map as a free Rogers: The Musical souvenir! Rogers: The Musical Inside, the Hyperion Theater (where the new musical takes place) is listed, and the map directs guests to the Disneyland app for showtimes. Here’s a closer peek!

Magic Kingdom was built based on the inspiration from Disneyland Park, but they’re not identical. Golden Hour at the castle Some folks may confuse the names and terminology, but when you see things side by side, you can usually notice right off the bat that there are distinct differences. We’ve already explored the complete breakdown of Disney World vs. Disneyland. Today, we’re going to explore the nuances between the two iconic castles. Before we look at how different these castles are, let’s review what they have in common. Similarities Architectural Inspiration Both castles were built based on the inspiration of the grand European castles from history. Bavaria’s Neuschwanstein Castle was a particular location of interest, inspiring those tall spires and towers. Fortifications Both castles have a moat that flows in front of it and a drawbridge for guests to walk over to gain entrance into the castle. At Disneyland, the drawbridge was actually lowered on opening day, providing a grand spectacle. Magic Kingdom And at Disney World, there was one attraction, the Swan Boats, that took guests on a slow tour of the water canal passing under the drawbridge. Internal Secrets These castles aren’t just facades. They each have their own secrets inside their halls (we’ll explore those secrets later when we compare their differences) Central Placement Both castles are what Walt Disney referred to as “wienies,” a visual enticement used to lure guests further into the park instead of lingering at the entrance. They are the centerpiece of their park, the core of the hub in Walts’ hub and spoke concept, and the main stage for the nighttime projections and fireworks shows. Castle is right in the middle of the action These castles are also the gateway into Fantasyland, where guests symbolically pass through the gate from Main Street, U.S.A., into a world of fantasy. Differences Size This might be one of the most obvious differences between the two castles. Disneyland’s castle is charming and lovely, but a mere 77 feet tall. Disney Imagineers used the famed forced perspective method to help make it appear taller. To put this in perspective, your average 2-story house is 35 feet tall, so the Disneyland castle is about the size of two 2-story houses stacked on top of each other. Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland The Magic Kingdom castle is 189 feet tall. And though it is more than twice the height of the Disneyland castle, the Imagineers also used forced perspective to give that majestic stature and presence in the center of the park. Owners The original castle, the castle that started the trend of “castle parks” around the globe, is Sleeping Beauty Castle. Sleeping Beauty was Disney’s 16th animated release, which debuted in 1959. Soft pinks and greyish blues that comprise the castle are subtle nods to its dozing owner. Cinderella Fountain, near her castle in Disney World Magic Kingdom’s castle is the residence of Cinderella. Cinderella was Disney’s 12th animated feature film, released in 1950. Earlier iterations of Cinderella Castle donned blue, silver, and grey to mimic Cinderella’s ethereal dress from the Fairy Godmother. Currently, it received a bit of makeover for the Disney World 50th Celebration, and now it is more pink and coordinates with her older sister on the west coast. Internal Secrets Both castles have spaces and compartments inside. There are two areas to explore within Sleeping Beauty Castle. The first is the main walkway, which acts as a transit corridor between sections of the park. The second is the castle walkthrough, within which you can explore the story of Sleeping Beauty via a series of dioramas. For those interested in visiting, be aware that the walkway is narrow and winding and includes stairs. An accessible option via a virtual screen is also available. Sleeping Beauty Walkthrough Like Disneyland’s castle, Disney World’s castle includes a walkthrough that’ll take you from the main entry into Fantasyland. However, Florida’s version does not include walkthrough attractions. Instead, guests wanting to visit the inside of Cinderella Castle have few options from which to choose. Cinderella Castle Suite ©Disney You can make a reservation to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table, an elegant dining experience inside the castle. And select special guests have had the opportunity to stay inside the Cinderella Castle Suite, a two-room suite high in the towers of the castle. Age Sleeping Beauty Castle was the first of all of the Disney castles and was presented to the public in 1955, when Disneyland opened. Cinderella Castle came around when Magic Kingdom opened in 1971. But though Sleeping Beauty Castle is 16 years older, they both go through rigorous cleaning, refurbishments, and maintenance to keep them in prime condition. Disneyland! Both castles are beautiful and uniquely epitomize the character and culture of the park in which they reside. We love seeing them through all of their seasonal changes and celebratory adornments.

Something has DISAPPEARED from Magic Kingdom, and it impacts a classic attraction in this park. Tom Sawyer Island Tom Sawyer Island is a walk-through attraction in Frontierland. You take a log raft to the island, where you can meander through trails, cross bridges, and explore caves. It’s a great place to bring little ones who need to burn off some energy — no long lines to wait in here! But there’s one problem: recently, part of this attraction went MISSING. While we were in Frontierland today, exploring Tom Sawyer Island, we saw that the Barrel Bridge is now CLOSED. Barrel Bridge is closed In fact, it’s not just closed. It’s completely gone. It’s GONE For reference, here’s what the bridge usually looks like. Barrel Bridge We saw this happen back in 2021 as well! When we asked a Cast Member about the missing bridge, they told us that it had been removed for maintenance and they weren’t sure when it’d be back. Tom Sawyer Island We’ll be watching closely to find out when it returns! In the meantime, you can still explore other parts of the island.
