Since Disney released the exclusive skip-the-line tool in the Disney Parks in 2021, Genie+ has been confusing, to say the least. Genie+ Not only can the service be tricky to use, but it’s also pretty expensive. It can be hard to gauge when you need it and when you don’t as Disney World’s crowds have gotten a bit unpredictable. However, just when we thought that we were getting the hang of things and had a good system going with when to purchase Genie+ and what rides to use it for, Disney announced that it would be changing soon. Today, those changes went into effect, and we immediately noticed a BIG new problem. The new Genie+ change was put into effect on June 27th, 2023, and we headed into the parks ready to try it out as well as talk to some Cast Members in the hope of getting the full scoop on the updated Genie+ situation. We found so much helpful information that could come in handy if you’re planning on utilizing Genie+ on your next Disney World vacation along with one pretty major problem that might affect your next trip. Let’s talk about it! The Problem With the new Genie+ changes, you buy the service based on which park you’ll be using it in. You can buy Genie+ for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and the price for each park is different. If you’re planning to Park Hop (visit multiple parks in a single day), you’ll need to buy the multi-park option. Magic Kingdom Entrance But here’s the problem: Disney will NOT sell you the multi-park option if Genie+ is sold out in ANY park. So if Genie+ sells out in Magic Kingdom, you cannot buy the multi-park option even if you were just planning to visit Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. When one park sells out of Genie+, the multi-park Genie+ option is gone as well. (We’ve seen Genie+ sell out a few times in Disney World, but it’s not a super common occurrence.) ©Disney | Screenshot from 2022 So what if you still want to park hop but the multi-park Genie+ option is unavailable? You have a few options. First, you can park hop and only use Genie+ in ONE of the parks you’re visiting. Just buy Genie+ for that individual park and then use standby queues for the other parks you visit. EPCOT entrance You can also choose to buy multiple single-park Genie+ services. So if Magic Kingdom is sold out but you had planned to visit Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, you’d have to buy Genie+ for BOTH Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. That could mean that Genie+ is pricier than you’d planned for that day. We’ll be watching for any updates on this problem, but for now, it sounds like the multi-park rule is sticking around. Learn more about how to use Genie+ here. We also searched for some answers to other Genie+ questions we got from readers — here’s what we found! Why did Disney change the system? I was just getting the hang of the old one! According to a Cast Member, Disney’s intention with introducing the park-specific pricing is to keep Genie+ as the same system we already know and have been using since 2021 but offer specific prices for each park based on the value of the service there. Since there are more attractions offered with Genie+ in Magic Kingdom than in EPCOT, it’s more valuable in Magic Kingdom. When Genie+ had a single, set price, it was kind of unfair for it to cost the same in both parks. Expedition Everest Lightning Lane The single park option has been introduced as a way to “discount” the pricing for those parks where Genie+ isn’t quite as valuable. Of course, that also means that the new system is a way for Disney to hike up the price where Genie+ is more valuable. What if I don’t purchase the multi-park option in the morning and decide later on that I want to park hop? If you buy Genie+ for a single park and then decide later that you want to park hop and use Genie+ in both parks, you can upgrade to the multi-park option if your ticket allows it (i.e., if you have a Park Hopper-eligible ticket). You’ll just have to pay the remainder of what the multi-park option costs compared to the single-park option that you’ve already purchased. A Cast Member told us that this is not possible on the My Disney Experience app but that you must talk to Guest Services in person and upgrade that way. Guest Experience Tent If you don’t have a ticket linked to your account that has a Park Hopper option attached, you’ll be unable to purchase the multi-park ticket. Remember that upgrading will only be possible if ALL of the parks are available. If one park sells out, you’ll be unable to purchase the multi-park option and will have to purchase another single-park option. Can I go ahead and book Lightning Lanes in other parks for later? If you’re planning ahead for the day and see Lightning Lanes that are available in the park you’re hopping to after 2PM (when you can start Park Hopping), the app will allow you to go ahead and make those Lightning Lane selections for later on as long as you have the multi-park Genie+ option. However, you’ll still be unable to use those Lightning Lanes before Park Hopping hours, so you’ll have to be careful with planning. Lightning Lane For example, let’s say you start your day in EPCOT and plan to hop to Magic Kingdom later on. You buy the multi-park Genie+ option to use Genie+ in both parks. You can book Lightning Lanes in EPCOT for any time and use those while you’re in the park. You can also make Lightning Lane selections for Magic Kingdom as long as the return window is AFTER 2PM. (You can make the selections before 2PM, but the return window must be after 2PM since you cannot enter Magic Kingdom until after that time.) This is the same rule that applied before the recent Genie+ change. How will this change affect vacation packages that already include Genie+? The Cast Member told us that they would just be checking the Genie+ options included in vacation packages on a case-by-case basis because right now, it’s still very early and there are all sorts of ticket types floating through the parks. Contact guest services at Disney if you have questions about your specific vacation package. How does pricing work? Is there a set price for each park or does it depend on demand? The prices for all Genie+ options will fluctuate day by day much like they do now, but each park will be priced differently depending on demand for that specific park. The multi-park option will likely always be the highest-priced option. ©Disney We’re expecting the prices for all options to increase during busier times (like the summer break and holiday season) and decrease when demand for Disney World is lower. If I purchase the multi-park option and don’t end up park hopping, can I downgrade to a single-park option and get my money back? We asked a few different Guest Relations Cast Members this question and got conflicting answers. One Cast Member told us a simple “no” — once you buy the multi-park option, you’re stuck with it even if you don’t use it. However, other Cast Members told us that it is possible to downgrade as long as you visit a Guest Relations stand in person. They said that they have the ability to cancel and re-book your Genie+ selections, so you can get some money back that way. It’s possible that this will change, but it never hurts to ask politely if you run into this situation! Guest Relations EPCOT Whew! That’s a lot of info! However, we hope that it helped you guys out as much as it helped us.

The Ron DeSantis vs. Disney Reedy Creek Improvement District (“RCID”) battle continues — this time with some key documents that’ll help shape the case going forward. Disney vs. DeSantis The District has already been changed dramatically, a new name has been given to it (Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), and a new board is in place that’s already making some big changes. But the fight is far from over. Disney has filed a federal lawsuit against Florida Governor DeSantis and the new board of the District (among others), and now some key documents have been filed in that case. DeSantis and the Secretary of the Department of Economic Opportunity, and members of the Board of Supervisors of the District have filed their own motions to dismiss the case — essentially telling the court that part or all of Disney’s arguments should be thrown out of court. Let’s break down what they’re arguing. DeSantis’ Motion to Dismiss First, we’ll tackle the motion to dismiss filed by the legal team for the state defendants involved in the lawsuit, which includes Governor DeSantis. In this motion, they argue some general things about the situation, namely: The District “gave Disney carte blanche to govern itself.” Disney “had an electoral monopoly for every board seat” “In the waning days of its corporate kingdom, Disney rushed through a series of collusive agreements between itself and its puppet RCID board.” “RCID executed two contracts with Disney—a set of restrictive covenants and a development agreement…Both contracts purport to assign Disney substantial governmental authority.” Reedy Creek Improvement District They also claim: The NEW Board of the District “determined and declared that both the contracts and the comprehensive plan were…void under Florida law.” The motion refers to this as the “CFTOD Declaration.” “The Legislature also enacted SB 1604,” which essentially stops the District from complying with the Development Agreement at issue. Disney’s “last-ditch power grab” was foiled under state law. ©Governor Ron DeSantis Website Then, the State Defendants claim that the court lacks jurisdiction over 2 parties Disney has sued in this federal case — specifically, the Governor and Secretary of the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Why? The motion claims, “Neither the Governor nor the Secretary enforce any of the laws at issue, so Disney lacks standing to sue them.” In the motion, they argue that “neither the Secretary nor the Governor enforces SB 1604 or the CFTOD Declaration.” Instead, they claim that the Secretary only maintains the official list of special districts but that has nothing to do with the alleged contracts. via Twitter Further, they claim that nothing in the CFTOD Declaration that declared the contracts invalid endows Governor DeSantis with any power. What about Senate Bill 1604? Well, the Governor argues that it prevents the District from complying with the contracts Disney signed with the old Board but “mentions nothing of the Governor.” According to their claims, the Governor really has nothing to do with it. Instead, “the Board is ‘independent[ly] oblig[ed] to follow’ the Legislature’s command.” They also argue that it shouldn’t matter that DeSantis can “suspend board members for failing to follow state law” or that DeSantis appoints the members of the Board. The lawsuit makes similar claims with regard to other bills at issue. Reedy Creek Building They argue that 2 types of immunity would apply too. First, they claim that the Governor and Secretary have sovereign immunity. They claim this through the 11th Amendment which allegedly “bars federal-court litigation against the State unless the immunity is waived or validly abrogated by Congress.” In their view, “neither the Governor nor the Secretary enforces SB 1604, the CFTOD Declaration, SB 4C, or HB 9B. Those acts are enforced, at most, by the Board, either as a party to alleged contracts or as the entity animated by the tandem of SB 4C and HB 9B.” And even though the Governor signed the laws at issue, signing is not the same as “enforcing” a law, according to their arguments. Obtained via ClickOrlando Livestream They also argue that “The Governor also is entitled to legislative immunity.” They claim that Disney’s argument centers around the Governor passing bills to punish Disney for its speech. But, they argue that because “those acts are ‘legislative'” the Governor has immunity. According to the motion, “state officials are absolutely immune from suit for actions taken ‘in the sphere of legitimate legislative activity.'” And whether the act is “legislative” turns on the “nature of the act, rather than on the motive or intent of the official performing it.” ©Governor Ron DeSantis Website They argue that these acts at issue are “exactly the kind of legislative decisions that legislative immunity protects. That is no less true even if the bills targeted” the Reedy Creek District and its contracts with the old Board. District Board’s Motion to Dismiss Next up, we have the motion from the members of the new Board of Supervisors for the District. In their memorandum supporting the motion, they claim a few general things at the start, namely: “This case is a frontal assault on this bedrock principle of our constitutional order.” “Disney has gone to great lengths in its attempt to thwart the will of the people of Florida.” ©Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board Then, they say that the Court should stay this case pending the outcome of the state court lawsuit pending that was filed by the District against Disney. Why? Well, according to the new board, “nearly all of Disney’s claims are predicated on ” the argument that “the Development Agreement and Restrictive Covenants are valid contracts under Florida law.” Since that is (according to them) also a critical issue in the state court case, they think the federal court should wait to see what the state court has to say. ©Reedy Creek Meeting Livestream In the alternative, they argue that the case should be dismissed and the Court should require Disney to bring the claims in a circuit court for Orange County, Florida. This is because Disney apparently included a clause in its Restrictive Covenants agreement where they agreed to bring any suit in any way “arising out of or pertaining to this declaration” in the circuit court for Orange County, Florida. Thus, they claim the case should be brought there instead of Federal Court. They argue that this should be the case even though that clause is only in the Restrictive Covenants (not Development Agreement), and even though the Defendants claim that the underlying contracts are unlawful as a whole. ©Reedy Creek Meeting Livestream Finally, they argue that Disney’s claims fail because the agreements they entered into with the old board are void as a matter of law. They raise a number of additional issues with Disney’s arguments including that there was an “important public purpose” behind some of the actions Disney is challenging. For example, they say that the Florida Legislature passed one of the laws at issue to “ensure public control over the District,” while Disney’s agreements with the old Board “attempt to subvert that intent.” Reedy Creek Trash Cans They also claim that even if the Development Agreement is valid, it is subject to state laws that are passed after it, so basically, it is subject to the possibility that a later state law could stop the Board from complying with it. They also say that if the Development Agreement and Restrictive Covenants are valid, the District hasn’t done anything to “take” them or change Florida law. In their view, the Declaration the Board signed (which declared Disney’s agreements to be void) is — at most — a breach of Disney’s contracts, not a taking of them. So, they argue, Disney can’t bring a claim arguing that the actions violated the Constitution, but instead can only get compensation through a claim for breach of contract. Reedy Creek Improvement District Additionally, the Board claims that Disney’s First Amendment claims focus on the “illicit motive” behind several bills from the Florida Legislature and the declaration from the new Board, as opposed to something on the face of those items themselves. They claim that this fact (coupled with the related case law) “dooms Disney’s First Amendment retaliation claims.” According to their motion, one of the principles of constitutional law is that “courts cannot ‘strike down an otherwise constitutional statute on the basis of an alleged illicit legislative motive.” Basically, even if the alleged motive is bad, if the law is otherwise constitutional then Disney might not have a valid claim. Reedy Creek Fire Department Well, that’s a LOT to take in. A motion to dismiss is an expected step in a lawsuit, so the filing of these documents is not at all surprising. But what happens next? According to a prior Court Order, Disney now has until July 26th, 2023 to respond to these motions to dismiss. After that, the Defendants will have until August 9th, 2023 to file any replies. Then, things will REALLY get moving as the Court will have to make a decision on these key matters. Will Disney be forced to refile the case in a different court? Will some of Disney’s claims be shut down based on the arguments of these defendants? Will the federal case be stalled while the state case is pending? Or will things move forward with Disney being allowed to argue most (or all) of the claims they have brought? Only time will tell.

While we love Disney World, there are plenty of things about the parks that aren’t our favorite. Cinderella Castle We’ve had plenty of snacks that aren’t our favorite, and any price hike makes us wince immediately. But what about our readers? What do YOU all despise most about Disney World? We asked, and you answered! We took to Facebook to ask our readers what they hate most about Disney World, and over 3,500 of you replied! So let’s take a look at the most popular responses. THE COST The biggest complaint of our readers will be no surprise to you — it’s the cost of the vacation! Disney Springs One of our readers even shared that she’s been traveling to Disney for 30 years and has really seen a difference in pricing throughout the years, and we understand. Disney World vacations are expensive, even if you’re staying off-property. Park tickets themselves have jumped in price a lot, so even going for a 1-2 day trip costs a pretty penny. Fort Wilderness Resort The Disney parks used to be a vacation the average family could afford, but that’s questionable at this point. Complex Planning Disney World has gone digital in the past decade, and while that’s easier in some ways, it’s also made learning how to do things a lot more complicated. EPCOT You’ve got to plan lots in advance now (but remember that park passes will be going away for the most part in 2024!), plus think about if you want to pay to skip the lines with Genie+, think in advance when you want to order your food so you don’t miss a decent time window and now your whole family is starving. Do you want to dine at table service restaurants? Some of them require reservations to be made 60 days in advance before your vacation even begins! Reservations for Cinderella’s Royal Table go very quickly! Yes, Disney World has required at least some semblance of planning in the past few decades, but it was also possible to wake up and decide on a whim what to do. That’s become a lot harder recently, and many of our readers are hoping the spontaneity can return soon. Crowds! Despite doing many things to upset Disney fans, the parks are very, VERY crowded. Animal Kingdom Crowds This especially became an issue when the parks reopened after the COVID-19 closures and returned mostly to normal, as we saw a massive amount of revenge traveling from guests whose vacations had to be canceled previously. Hollywood Studios Crowds While the revenge-travel trend has died down a lot, the parks are still very crowded, and some guests feel it gets more and more crowded with each passing year. Some feel that Disney should open a fifth park to help spread out the crowds, while others feel the existing parks should just be expanded upon. Regardless of the solution, many fans feel Disney needs to find one ASAP. Weather Disney World can’t help where it’s located, but being located in Florida is a downside for many guests because of the weather. EPCOT under sunny skies While Florida can certainly get chilly in the winter, Florida is mostly known for its HOT and HUMID weather during most of the years. Summers are absolutely brutal to all guests, but especially those who aren’t used to the humidity combined with already high temperatures. A sunny day in Animal Kingdom Some people just don’t do well with high temperatures, or if you don’t keep yourself hydrated, you very well may find yourself VERY miserable on your trip. Leaving/Not Being Able To Go More Often On a more positive note, we had a lot of readers say they hate having to LEAVE Disney World! Exiting EPCOT We can definitely relate to that — the post-trip sadness is real! Other readers shared that they really wish they were locals so they could visit more often, so they hate they’re not close enough to take casual trips. Exiting Toy Story Land All of these are very valid reasons to find Disney World frustrating, and there are SO many more out there. To all of our readers who shared their thoughts — thank you so much!

Today, Genie+ changes again in Disney World. Genie+ Yes, we know, there have been A LOT of changes announced pretty recently for the skip-the-line service, but some of those changes won’t go into effect until 2024. This newest change, however, starts TODAY. Here’s what you need to know. Today, June 27th, Disney World’s Genie+ system is now a per-park, per-day service, meaning that the price will depend on which park you’re visiting, and you can select between skipping the lines for a single day or multiple days. Today’s prices are below: ©Disney So let’s run through a few scenarios to help you out. 1 Park, 1 Day If you’re heading into one park for one day only and you want Genie+ (remember, it’s not a necessity!), you’ll need to select the park you’ve got a park pass reservation and ticket for. 2 Parks, 1 Day If you’re visiting more than 1 park in a day and have a park hopper ticket, you’ll need to select the Multiple Parks option. Keep in mind that if you’re visiting two parks and only want Genie+ for one of them, you’ll need to make sure you have a ticket and park pass for the park you want Genie+ for and you can select to just get Genie+ for that park. ©Disney Multiple Days, But Only Genie+ in 1 Park Let’s say you’re visiting for a few days, but you only want to use Genie+ on one of your park days (for this example, we’ll say it’s in Magic Kingdom). You’ll want to wait until that specific day of your trip to purchase Genie+, and only buy it for that park for that one day. Disney Genie Pamphlet We’re all figuring out this new aspect of the service together, so we won’t know all the details until we have tried it today.

There’s been a HUGE change at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Concept Art ©Disney We’ve been keeping up with all the news released about this upcoming attraction, as well as checking on what construction looks like in the parks every time we pass by. Today, we got to see a first look at a MAJOR update in Disney World: Tiana’s water tower is officially up! This morning, Disney invited us to be some of the first people to see the NEW water tower that’s now up at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! It’s up! We’ve already seen this water tower in the concept art for the ride… ©Disney …and in the model that was on display at the D23 Expo in 2022. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure model at the D23 Expo But now it has officially arrived in Magic Kingdom! It looks just like the one in the concept art. There it is! The water tower has a big sign on the front that says “Tiana’s Foods,” which is the name of the employee-owned company that Tiana started, according to the backstory of the ride. It’s topped with a giant tiara that looks like Tiana’s from the film. Look closely and you’ll see two stars attached to part of the tiara — these are a nod to Ray and Evangeline! Cute! Disney also released a behind-the-scenes video of the water tower installation — how cool! In case you haven’t heard the full story of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the ride will pick up the story of The Princess and the Frog “after the final kiss.” You’ll “join Princess Tiana and Louis on a musical adventure – featuring some of the powerful music from the film – as they prepare for their first-ever Mardi Gras performance.” Model of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at the 2022 D23 Expo So, what exactly DOES happen “after the final kiss”? Well, when the film itself ends, Princess Tiana makes her dream come true when she opens her very own restaurant, Tiana’s Palace (just like the one opening in Disneyland later this year)! ©Disney The story of the attraction, as Disney shares, picks up during New Orleans’ Carnival season, and Tiana is hosting a Mardi Gras Party for the people of New Orleans — the community that has supported her successful restaurant. (The storyline is set about a year after the movie.) ©Disney But Tiana realized that the party is “missing a key ingredient” and she needs help finding it, so YOU will join Tiana on an adventure! Disney Imagineers have shared that guests will be active participants coming along to help Tiana. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Concept Art ©Disney The new water tower is one of the most obvious changes we’ve seen to the outside of this attraction so far, and we can only imagine how the inside is changing already as well. This ride will open in Frontierland in Magic Kingdom and in Critter Country in Disneyland Park in late 2024. ©Disney Tiana’s Bayou Adventure concept art Be sure to stay tuned to DFB, because we’ll keep you updated on all the latest as this ride continues to change.

Genie+ just CHANGED in Disney World, so of course we had to check it out today and see what’s different about it. Disney Genie Disney announced a little while ago that Genie+ would be changing to have park-specific pricing, so now the cost of the line-skipping service will vary both by date and by which park you plan to visit. We bought Genie+ today so that we could show you how the process is different now — let’s check it out! You’ll continue to purchase Genie+ through the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. Currently, sales are available beginning at midnight, and all visitors can make their first Genie+ selection starting at 7AM. (Keep in mind that you may need to update your app when this change goes live.) Now, when you open up your Genie Tip Board in the My Disney Experience App, you no longer see today’s price for Genie+, because that price is different for each park. Instead, there’s an option to view the prices and purchase Genie+. Genie+ Tip Board We clicked on that option and were taken to a page that details what Genie+ is and how it works. Some details Click “Get Disney Genie+ Service” to get to the pricing! Continue There are both single-park and multi-park options for Genie+. It looks like there’s just ONE multi-park price, so that price will not change based on which two (or more) parks you plan to visit. (For example, if you were planning to go to both Disney’s Animal Kingdom and EPCOT in the same day, it will cost the same as if you plan to visit Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.) It also looks like the multi-park option and Magic Kingdom will be the most expensive options. Pricing Remember that these offerings are subject to availability — Genie+ can and does sell out during busy times! Today, the prices were as follows: Multiple Parks (valid with Park Hopper benefits): $27 Magic Kingdom: $27 EPCOT: $18 Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $24 Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $16 Remember that these prices can and will change depending on the day. On busier days (like summer break and the holiday season), we’ll likely see them go up, and when Disney World is less crowded, we’ll probably see them go down. However, it seems likely that the parks with the highest prices now (Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios) will continue to have higher prices and Animal Kingdom and EPCOT will continue to be cheaper. Main Street You can click “See Experiences” on each option to find out which attractions are included in Genie+. Remember that some rides have Individual Lightning Lanes that you’ll have to purchase SEPARATELY from Genie+ in order to skip the lines there. Rides included with Genie+ From what we can see, it looks like the list of included attractions is the same as it was before the change. (These screenshots are not the full list — you can scroll in the app to view them all.) More rides You’ll pick which park you want to visit (or the multi-park option) and then continue to the next page, where you’ll confirm who you’re purchasing Genie+ for. Be sure to check all members of your party. Confirm your party Then you’ll view your cart, which will have a subtotal (tax is not listed here — it will be added on in the next stage) and you can click “continue to checkout.” Check-out page From here, you’ll just enter payment information and confirm your purchase. Overall, the process is pretty similar to how Genie+ was purchased before, only now you choose which park you want to visit. EPCOT Several readers have sent in questions about the changes, and we’ll be testing those out and reporting back to you today, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more updates!

Honestly, June 26th should go down as a nationally-observed bank holiday for Disney fans. Stitch is practically a celebrity! Yep, 6/26 is known as Stitch Day, and Disney World is in on the celebration. We’ve seen special merchandise online, some pranks performed by Stitch on the Disney Twitter account, and throughout the parks, you can grab some specialty treats for a very limited time. Let’s talk about it! We got to try three different treats today in honor of Stitch himself. They’re all, of course, themed to our favorite blue alien. Try them with us! First up, we tried the Stitch Dome Cake from Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for $7.99. This treat is a confetti cake with mint-chocolate chip filling and fondant decor. Stitch Dome Cake Our first thought when grabbing this one was how cute it was! We loved how this one looked. But, will it taste just as good? When we first took a bite, we noticed how moist the confetti was. There isn’t a ton of flavor — it’s not too sweet. The cake part is nothing special, it just tastes like the average confetti cupcake you’d get from Publix. The mint filling in the center was a bit too much, though. It absolutely tasted like toothpaste. Dome Cake If you love confetti cake, Stitch, and don’t mind the strong mint flavor, you should totally try this. If you don’t like mint, maybe pass on this one. We’ll continue to keep you updated with any and all Disney news and updates, so make sure to follow along for more! (Yes, that includes reviewing all the treats there are to try at Disney World!)

Dining options in Disney World are constantly changing. Japan pavilion Price increases hit some of our favorite restaurants, new dining locations take over old ones, and seasonal menus come and go throughout the parks. Thankfully, these changes can lead to exciting new experiences in the park, and Disney has shared that EPCOT would be getting just that this summer. Shiki-Sai Izakaya and Sushi is a table-service restaurant coming to the Japan pavilion, presenting a “festive dining experience in a sharable Izakaya-style.” We’ve been waiting for the news of its exact location since it has been announced, and now, we have a new clue about its potential whereabouts. While Disney has been a bit mysterious about its exact location, we do know that it will be on the second floor of the Mitsukoshi Department Store. Since Tokyo Dining has been closed for refurbishment for some time now, and Disney has promised Shiki-Sai will have “stunning views of EPCOT, the World Showcase Lagoon, and, of course, fireworks,” it stands to reason that the new restaurant will be taking over Tokyo Dining. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been confirmed just yet. ©Japan Pavilion-Mitsukoshi USA via Instagram But, wait! On Disney’s website, we noticed a strange coincidence that has us believing our suspicions are correct. There is now a page for Shiki-Sai…or is there? If you look closely, the page that lists Shiki-Sai as the heading is just Tokyo Dining’s page in disguise! The URL is still that of Tokyo Dining, and the featured image shows the dining room of the old restaurant as well. ©Disney Under the picture, Disney shares that Tokyo Dining will be closed for refurbishment through summer 2023. Coincidence? ©Disney While this of course doesn’t confirm that the new restaurant will be taking its place, it is something to look out for!

While the Magic Kingdom fireworks get the big reputation, the fireworks at EPCOT do have a niche but loyal following of Disney fans. EPCOT Yep, EPCOT has hosted nightly fireworks shows since the park opened in 1982 — creating four decades’ worth of memories for many Disney World visitors. Many Disney fans even argue that they enjoy the fireworks in EPCOT more than the ones in Magic Kingdom, due to lower crowds, more vantage points from which to view the show, as well as the contemporary music that accompanies the fireworks. If you’re a fan of EPCOT, the park’s firework shows, or if you’re hoping to become one, this post is for you! Today, we’re gonna take a trip down memory lane and revisit each of the fireworks shows that EPCOT has shown in the past, as well as what we can expect for the future. Are you ready? Let’s go! 1. Carnival de Lumiere (1982-1983) Carnival de Lumiere was the very first show that EPCOT put on each night. This show featured projections that appeared on floating barges in World Showcase Lagoon. It only lasted a few months before being replaced by A New World Fantasy. The downside was that the show could only be viewed in the area between Mexico and Canada. The projections were all controlled by Apple computers, which was pretty revolutionary at the time. World Showcase Lagoon 2. A New World Fantasy (1983-1984) Just in time for EPCOT’s first summer, Carnival de Lumiere was replaced with A New World Fantasy. This show used a lot of the same technology as Carnival de Lumiere, but featured a new storyline set to classical music. This was the first show in which Disney began experimenting with automating the movement of Pichel lights and having them set to music. World Showcase 3. Laserphonic Fantasy (1984-1988) After about a year of A New World Fantasy, Laserphonic Fantasy took over. This was the first show that allowed visitors to view the show from anywhere around World Showcase Lagoon. The original projection barges used for the first two fireworks shows were replaced by one central barge, which was where the fireworks and projections were then focused. This show also featured synthesized lights! The show got its name from the fog, lights, and lasers that accompanied the show. Laser projection booths and extra barges were later installed to further enhance the show. World Showcase Lagoon 4. IllumiNations (1988–1996) For the first time, each of the World Showcase Pavilions was highlighted throughout the show. Lighting effects were added to feature each of the countries’ pavilions. Music was re-recorded and re-synced to the orchestral music that accompanied the show. The computer systems were also revamped at this time to better handle the show’s technology. World Showcase 5. IllumiNations 25 (1996-1999) This was a mighty upgrade to the original IllumiNations show! New lights and lasers were installed to better enhance the show. The enhancements were originally done for a holiday version of the show, but they stuck around! Four new barges were added, as well as a new storyline and music. World Showcase Lagoon 6. IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth (October 1, 1999 – September 30, 2019) This is EPCOT’s longest running show to date, and the one that has accumulated the largest fandom. The barges, lasers, lights, and fireworks all remained, but told the story of earth and divided the show into three movements: Chaos, Order, and Meaning. 19 torches surrounded World Showcase Lagoon in order to represent the 19 centuries of the common era. The show eventually led up to a giant Lotus flower representing the 20th century — the modern age. This show is one of the most iconic to date, and was known for its themes of unification as well as a pretty cool soundtrack. EPCOT’s World Showcase Torch 7. EPCOT Forever (October 1, 2019 – March 12, 2020, July 1, 2021 – September 28, 2021, April 3, 2023 – present) Another icon! This one was very short-lived, as the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted its run. This show focused on EPCOT’s musical history, highlighting the themes to several fan-favorite attractions. It continued to celebrate the past, present, and future of EPCOT and humanity — just like IllumiNations did. The show featured fireworks, lasers, lights, and kites. EPCOT Forever 8. Harmonious (October 1, 2021 – April 2, 2023) In celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, EPCOT debuted Harmonious, which served as a modernized version of IllumiNations. The show highlighted each of the cultures represented in World Showcase, as well as the idea that music, movies, and the arts can unite humanity despite language barriers. The show required the use of what many people refer to as “taco barges” in World Showcase Lagoon, as well as water projections, fireworks, lasers, and special-effects. The show was divided into three chapters: Gather, Celebrate, and Unite. Harmonious 9. EPCOT Forever Reprise (April 4, 2023, to present) With the conclusion of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, a reprise of EPCOT Forever returned. With minor changes as far as music and effects go, many Disney fans were pleased at the return of the beloved show. The show is set to continue until replaced by an all-new show for Disney’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. The show currently takes place nightly at 9PM. EPCOT Forever Future Shows Disney announced at a D23 Expo that a special Disney100 fireworks show would arrive in late 2023, as EPCOT will serve as the center of Disney World’s Disney100 Celebration. The show is meant to “reflect the commonality in all of us.” The show will gather viewers around World Showcase Lagoon and will feature lights, lasers, fireworks, and original composition featuring songs from Disney’s Songbook — showcasing the idea that we’re all more alike than we are different. New EPCOT show ©Disney Whew! See? EPCOT’s fireworks have played an important role in uniting Disney fans and telling the stories of the cultures and backgrounds represented in Disney’s music and films. What do you think?

Where do you stand on the live-action debate? Live-Action Ariel Meet-And-Greet Disney has been making live-action remakes of its animated classics seemingly left and right. That hasn’t exactly been the most popular choice among fans, however. In fact, over 92 percent of our readers who participated in our recent poll agreed that Disney should not keep making them! Many feel like Disney should leave the classics in their original form and focus more on creating new stories. But, what do the numbers say? In general, Disney has experienced a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to the box office lately. While movies like Avatar: The Way of Water have done exceptionally well, the company has seen quite a few flops. Pixar’s Lightyear and Elemental have fallen short at the box office, and Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania broke a record with its first-to-second-week dropoff in turnout. Avatar: The Way of Water So, where do live-action remakes of animated classics fit into all of this? Since so many people are outspoken about their distaste for them, you’d think that these movies wouldn’t be performing very well. But, according to a statistic by The Numbers, when it comes to remakes, Disney is doing better than you’d expect. ©Disney In a list of the highest-grossing remake movies worldwide as of May 2023, the top four films are by Disney! The Lion King ($1,647,733,638), Beauty and the Beast ($1,268,697,483), Aladdin ($1,046,587,513), and The Jungle Book all top the list, beating out movies like It, Clash of the Titans, and A Star is Born. ©The Numbers Now, not all of Disney’s remakes have been so successful. Mulan, for instance, made roughly $69.9 million at the box office worldwide (though its limited theatrical release during the pandemic played a role.) And while the new Little Mermaid film is still in theaters and not on this specific list quite yet, it hasn’t performed as well as some of Disney’s top live-action remakes. But, overall, when it comes to remakes — Disney is still seeing quite a bit of success. AMC Theater for ‘The Little Mermaid’ For example, Beauty and the Beast was the second-highest-grossing film in the year it was released, 2017. Similarly, in 2019, The Lion King was second only to Avengers: Endgame. ©The Numbers So, while live-action remakes are a bit of a controversial move, it’s unlikely that Disney will stop making them altogether. We already know that they are currently working on live-action versions of the animated movies Moana, Hercules, and Lilo & Stitch, to name a few. Only time will tell how many more of these the company will make. In the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news.

We’ve seen a LOT of changes for Genie+ since it was first introduced in 2021. Genie+ is changing…AGAIN this week. We’ve seen it all: from surge pricing to new rides getting added to the feature, it’s been tricky staying on top of everything that HAS changed with Genie+. We recently got word that Genie+ was going to have some MASSIVE changes soon, and well, the time has come to remind you of those changes. Starting on June 27th, Disney World visitors will purchase Genie+ based on the park they want to visit. Different parks will have different prices, although a multi-park option will also be available. However, prices will vary (because surge pricing is still in place) and both the one-park and multi-park options will be subject to availability. ©Disney This does mean that some parks will cost less than other parks, though. So expect Genie+ in Magic Kingdom to cost a bit more than Animal Kingdom, based on demand. You will continue to purchase the service through the My Disney Experience app, though. Note that you may need to update your app when these changes go into effect. ©Disney So if you’re visiting Disney World on or after June 27th, don’t forget that these changes are taking place. If you’re new to Genie+, be sure to read our Ultimate Guide To Genie, Genie+, and Lightning Lanes. We’ve also got a step-by-step guide if you want to know HOW to use Genie+. Genie+ Whew. We know that planning a Disney World trip is A LOT.

While Disney World is a dream most of the time, things do go awry at times. Sometimes, things can get downright creepy. Haunted Mansion When things don’t go according to plan at Disney World, the Cast Members need a way to communicate with each other without disturbing or frightening guests. That’s where a sort of “code language” comes in! Yep, the Cast Members at Disney World have code words and a secret language for all sorts of things, from how to discreetly communicate that someone has vomited to what they say in order to keep chaos at a minimum if an ambulance is called. Today, we have another code word that Cast Members use at Disney World, and it’s about to get really spooky. Let’s go! Sometimes, you might hear Cast Members talking about a “Code A” while in the Disney Parks. What’s a Code A, you might ask? Well, there’s no easy way to say it. A ‘Code A’ means that human remains have been found in a ride or attraction. So spooky! Don’t get too freaked out, alright? The ‘A’ stands for ashes. Yep, Disney World visitors sometimes spread the ashes of loved ones inside their favorite rides and attractions at Disney World, as a way of leaving a piece of them in their happy place. However, one ride receives more Code As than the others. Haunted Mansion Yep, it’s the Haunted Mansion! A former Haunted Mansion Cast Member confirmed that a great deal of ride closures and downtimes at the spooky attraction were due to Code As. Haunted Mansion Guests frequently scatter the ashes of loved ones throughout the ride, but it doesn’t go under the radar. Usually, the ashes scatter enough so that evidence is left behind on the Doom Buggies. If a Code A is suspected, you might see Cast Members hopping into a Doom Buggy or walking around the attraction with a black light. Haunted Mansion A weird thing about ashes is that they GLOW, and they have a bit of a pink tint to them underneath the black light. Once Cast Members confirm with the black light that ashes have been spilled, a maintenance team has to come clean up the ashes in a suit that looks like it came straight out of Ghostbusters. This means that yep, the ride has to be closed so that the maintenance crew can clean up the biohazard. Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane A special thing that Haunted Mansion Cast Members like to do at this point is play the Ghostbusters theme song over the intercom as the clean-up takes place. What? Those maids may be straight-faced, but they do know how to have a good time. Haunted Mansion graveyard So… if you ever hear Cast Members discussing a Code A, our best advice is that you steer clear! After all, you wouldn’t want a ghost to follow you home, would you? Just kidding. A biohazard is much spookier than a ghost.

Disney World, are you ok? Disney World If you’ve been to Disney World, you probably know about the importance of having the My Disney Experience app on your phone. It can allow you to purchase and book your Genie+ Lightning Lanes, Mobile Order your favorite foods, and help you check the times of shows and events. But we know at Disney World, you should anticipate something going wrong. When we opened it this morning, the My Disney Experience app was showing an alert saying that attraction wait times may be inaccurate or not available at this time. It goes on to say “Please visit attraction entrances in the park for updated wait times.” ©Disney If you continue to the wait times page in that app, the notification shows up again. ©Disney You can see on the map view of Magic Kingdom, that no wait times are currently being shown. We know this could hinder your park plans. ©Disney Even in the list view, no wait times are currently listed and this is also true for other Disney World parks as well. ©Disney You might be able to visit a wait time board in the current park, however, we are not sure these would be affected as well. As Disney said, it is best to visit the front of the attraction for the most accurate wait time. You can also head to Guest Relations if you have any other issues! Wait Time Board Hopefully, this will be back up and running soon. For more Disney news, be sure to follow us at Disney Food Blog.
