Seven Dwarfs Mine Train remains one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom at Disney World! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is a steel roller coaster, in a class that we would describe as a “family coaster.” The thrills here are milder than they might be on a traditional coaster. You need to be 38 inches tall to ride the Mine Train. With that height requirement, many children can begin to ride this ride when they are 3 or 4 years old. So, you might be wondering if this ride has big drops, and if it is scary. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train features — you guessed it — the characters from Disney’s first animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The ride’s theme centers around the dwarfs’ work in a diamond mine. There is a dark tunnel the ride passes through, so those who are afraid of the dark may want to take that into consideration. However, this part of the ride is where you see the Dwarfs working in the mine and singing Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, so the scenes inside the dark tunnel are happy ones. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train As for drops on this roller coaster, the tallest hill is 39 feet. Because of the way the coaster is constructed, you go into the drop on a curve, so it’s not necessarily the stomach churning thrill you might get on a larger roller coaster. This coaster reaches a top speed of 34 miles per hour, and much of the ride moves more slowly than that. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train This Mine Train’s steel track provides a smooth ride, and have not had very many people tell us they experienced any motion sickness. Even though the coaster reaches about 3 1/2 stories at its highest point and goes through a dark tunnel, we do not think it will be considered scary by very many people, including small children. Heigh, Ho! Heigh, Ho! One thing that can be scary at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the wait time! We recommend that you rope drop this attraction, wait to ride until later in the evening when Magic Kingdom crowds die out (or while others are waiting for a spot to watch fireworks), or considering the purchase of an individual lightning lane to skip the line.

If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re a little nerdy when it comes to Disney. Magic Kingdom Train Station We’ve seen the animated classics countless times, visit the parks daily, and altogether our staff probably owns an obscene amount of Disney merchandise. But besides those “typical” fan behaviors, we like to glance at the Disney data every now and then. We keep up with the stocks, the quarterly financial reports, and of course, the theme park rankings and surveys. And recently, a new report came out with some very interesting results. The 2022 TEA/AECOM Theme Index was recently released, and it tracks important theme park statistics like annual park attendance. At the start of the report, there’s a chart that shows theme park attendance numbers every year from 2019-2022. And the data gives us some important facts. ©TEA/AECOM First of all, Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park has continuously held onto its spot at the top of the list. It has had the highest attendance numbers of any theme park in the world every year from 2019-2022. In 2022 alone, 17.1 million guests visited Magic Kingdom. Crowds in Magic Kingdom Second place goes to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. The park reopened from the pandemic in 2021, and in 2022, it nearly doubled its 2021 attendance numbers. It was a pretty close race between Disneyland and Magic Kingdom, with Disneyland raking in 16.8 million visitors last year. Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland In third and fourth place are Universal Studios Japan and Tokyo Disneyland, respectively. But after that, things start to get interesting. It seems that in the past few years, the Universal Orlando parks have started to outperform the other three Disney World parks. Universal’s Islands of Adventure took the fifth place spot with 11 million visitors in 2022. ©Disney Parks After that, the rankings go as follows: Disney’s Hollywood Studios with 10.9 million visitors Universal Studios Florida with 10.75 million visitors Tokyo DisneySea with 10.1 million visitors EPCOT with 10 million visitors Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris with 9.93 million visitors Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park with 9.02 million visitors Disney California Adventure with 9 million visitors EPCOT Out of the top 12 attended theme parks in the world, six of them are in the Central Florida area, two are in California, three are in Japan, and one is in France. Only two of those parks surpassed their 2019 attendance numbers — Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Disneyland Park in Disneyland Paris. Hogwarts Castle at Universal Orlando But attendance isn’t the only important thing. The report notes that American theme parks seem to be focusing more on guest experience than strictly attendance numbers these days, introducing ways to make visitors’ time in the parks more enjoyable. Many companies (Disney and Universal included) have spent a lot of time in the past 10-15 years developing IP-based attractions and lands that draw in fans, and those additions help boost in-park spending and attendance. Galaxy’s Edge The Disney and Universal parks still hold the top 9 spots for theme parks in North America by a significant margin. SeaWorld Orlando holds the tenth spot on the list, and it only had half the attendance in 2022 of Universal Studios Hollywood (the #9 spot) and a quarter of the attendance of Magic Kingdom (the #1 spot). So it seems that the strategies that Disney and Comcast are implementing in the parks in the past few years are working to keep them above the competition. ©SeaWorld So with Universal Orlando climbing up the attendance ladder and dethroning some Disney World parks…should Disney feel threatened? Well, maybe not as much as you think. Keep in mind that Disney has six theme parks in the U.S. (plus two water parks), while Universal currently only has three dry parks (plus a water park that they count as a “theme park”). Disney’s still WAY ahead in the numbers game, but the gap will likely start to close a little bit when Universal’s new theme park, Epic Universe opens. ©Universal | Epic Universe Concept Art No matter what happens, we’ll continue to monitor the numbers and reports to see what the future of the theme park industry looks like.

Trattoria al Forno is a popular dining spot located on Disney’s BoardWalk, serving up Italian-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Disney’s BoardWalk Trattoria recently closed for some refurbishments, and Disney stated that guests could expect the restaurant to be closed from June 11th to June 17th, 2023. In the meantime, guests have been able to enjoy the restaurant’s limited breakfast menu while using Flying Fish’s dining room. We made dining reservations for Trattoria al Forno for June 19th, hoping to check out the recent changes and see if there were any menu updates. But we just got a phone call from Disney, and it was NOT what we wanted to hear! A Cast Member called us on June 14th to let us know that 1. Trattoria al Forno would not be open on time, and 2. that we would need to reschedule our June 19th reservation. Closed sign The Cast Member cited construction delays as the reason behind the delay, but they also said that now, no one really knows when the restaurant WILL open. Keep in mind that we could learn more information in the near future, so stay tuned for additional updates. Renovations happening inside! The Cast Member did say that they anticipated Trattoria to reopen in “late June,” which isn’t too far away from the initial reopening date. Trattoria al Forno Although she did try to help us find another suitable reservation, we were still a little disappointed! In the meantime, guests can still grab pizza by the slice from Trattoria’s Pizza Window’s temporary location, which is between Trattoria and AbracadaBar. Order outside! We’ll continue to keep you updated with any and all Disney news and updates, and we’re looking forward to seeing the Trattoria updates when it does reopen.

Just when you get comfortable navigating the parks, Disney switches things up on you. Just when you finally thought you understood the rules of Genie+, we find an exception. Let’s be real; things change in Disney World all the time. Disney’s BoardWalk Right now, there’s a TON of construction going on both in the parks and around various resorts, which can cause a lot of things to change. While we were walking around Disney’s BoardWalk Inn recently, we noticed that a popular pizza spot temporarily MOVED. The BoardWalk Pizza Window is a popular spot for many guests to grab a slice of pizza while they walk around the boardwalk. However, this particular location has temporarily closed due to nearby construction. Temporarily Closed Instead, there’s an arrow at the window that directs you to Disney’s temporary location, which is in between Trattoria al Forno and AbracadaBar. Head this way! You’ll order what you’d like outside at this kiosk. Don’t worry; there’s still a menu for you to reference as you place your order. Order outside! When it comes time to pick up your food, you can head inside the check-in area of Trattoria al Forno to find a temporary stand. The pizza is kept warm in boxes behind the table and then served to guests straight from the box and onto paper plates. It may not be the prettiest way to do things, but it’s a temporary solution! Temporary stand This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this happen, so it’s not our first rodeo. Things like this can happen from time to time in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB to keep yourself in the know!

It’s a good thing that those tins of Christmas cookies have a weirdly long shelf life (what’s up with that, by the way?), because it turns out that a little extra holiday cheer found its way to the month of June! Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade We’ve seen a flurry of holiday news lately in the Disney parks, including a look at the special treats and merchandise coming soon, but hidden within those festive announcements was ANOTHER piece of information. Recently, Disney shared a peek at some new holiday merchandise coming to the parks this year. We saw some Crocs, Spirit Jerseys, and other festive apparel, but there was one thing in particular that caught our eye. ©Disney As we were busy learning all about the newest holiday merchandise to hit the shelves this year, we had to pause and do a double-take. Disney stated, “If you’ve ever been to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Walt Disney World Resort (which by the way, is a holiday must-do), you might recall filling up on one of the best holiday treats: cookies!” Happy Holidays! (In June!!) Umm…did Disney just give us a hint that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning this year? They mentioned the holiday event by name! In fact, they recommended the holiday event specifically. Interesting… ©Disney Meanwhile, the Disney World website still has not been updated with any official word on the status of the party. In fact, the website currently says, “Please check back at a later date for information regarding events in 2023.” SANTA at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party If you’re unfamiliar, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a nighttime event that typically takes place in the Magic Kingdom between November and December. Throughout the party, guests can enjoy exclusive treats, watch the famous Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, meet Santa, and more! Can’t forget the dancing reindeer! For now, we’ll have to wait for more information, but you might want to start thinking about your holiday plans this winter — Disney itself has said that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a holiday must-do.

“I never imagined this would happen,” Mike reflects as the lights on TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise flicker from blue to green in anticipation of its opening just days away. “Once in a lifetime” is an overused phrase, but this moment was just that, as Video Producer Mike Stoops and his photographer son […]View the full article

We’re halfway to the holidays, and you know that Disney can’t let that milestone pass by without celebrating! Holidays in Disney World In honor of the occasion, we’ve already seen special snacks pop up in the parks, and we’ve gotten some announcements about the 2023 holiday celebrations at Disneyland Resort and on Disney Cruise Line. But now, Disney is sharing a sneak peek at the festive merchandise! We’ve got quite a few pictures to share, so let’s dive in and take a look at what you’ll see on the shelves in the Disney parks later this year. ©Disney First up, we’ve got our first look at one of the spirit jerseys for the holiday collection, which features Mickey and a variety of Disney characters celebrating with presents and decorations. If you’re gearing up for colder weather, there’s a new hoodie that looks like it’s inspired by Fantasyland characters. ©Disney And speaking of warm clothes — this sweatshirt with “The Most Magical Time of the Year” and Santa Mickey looks like it’ll be quite cozy! Disney also shared a sneak peek of the new snowman-inspired Mickey ears. They’ve even got tiny little Santa hats! ©Disney It’s not always cold during Christmastime, especially in Florida, so for those toasty days, you can may want this new Mickey Mouse button-up shirt. ©Disney But we’d also be remiss if we didn’t have at least some form of “dorky” Christmas sweater! These candy cane-striped pullovers come in Mickey or Minnie varieties. And a pair of Santa Mickey ears would be the perfect matching accessory. ©Disney Crocs have been a very popular Disney souvenir the past few years, and soon you can add another pair to your collection. The red and green shoes match the new Spirit Jersey and even have little gift-shaped Jibbitz. ©Disney Need a way to stay organized while you’re doing your holiday shopping? There’s a new tote bag coming soon with the holiday collection! ©Disney And of course, we can’t forget about this year’s Hanukkah collection — it will be the largest that Disney has done yet. They shared a look at a Mickey plush, a Loungefly backpack, and a pair of ears. ©Disney Aren’t these ears stunning?! We love that shade of blue, and the detail on the ears themselves is very intricate. ©Disney That’s everything that Disney shared so far, but we’ll make sure to let you know as soon as all these items drop in the parks. Don’t expect that for several months though — we’ve still got to make it through the Halloween season! Click Here to Learn About the NEW Holiday Offerings for Disney Cruise Line!

We’re sorry, but you’re walking past the most UNDERRATED quick-service restaurant in EPCOT. Connections Eatery We’re talking about Connections Cafe & Eatery, where you can get some pretty good quick-service food that will (hopefully) please the ENTIRE family. We’ve actually enjoyed quite a few of the meals and snacks we’ve had here, so we’re back to try two NEW additions to the menu. First up is a brand-new pizza! Okay, yes, we know not to get TOO excited over pizza in Disney World, but this is a Margherita Pizza for $11.29. It’s two (yes, two) slices of Freshly Baked Pizza topped with San Marzano Tomato-Basil Sauce, Roma Tomatoes, Mozzarella, and Basil. New pizza! Okay, the flavors on this pizza were INCREDIBLE — everything tasted very fresh. The tomatoes were bold and tangy, and the basil added a fragrant brightness to the whole thing. Yay for good pizza in Disney World, right? Look at those toppings The mozzarella was DELICIOUS, though it didn’t hold up when we were trying to take photos. But hey, CHEESY is always a good thing, right? We were happy to have TWO slices of pizza to enjoy here! But yeah, that crust got a little floppy due to all those ingredients, and we’d recommend eating this quickly before it falls apart. We’ll keep visiting Disney World and trying out any and all new food that turns up, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more reviews.

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn has been undergoing a LOT of changes recently. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn The resort as a whole has been undergoing construction since last year, when major changes were announced. We just got a look at some of the new rooms at the resort, and now we’ve got even more exciting news — the hallways have NEW details we can’t wait to show you! The new look of the hallways emphasizes a teal-and-white color palette with hints of black. It’s classic and charming, don’t you agree? New hallways! The carpet design looks like a mix of wooden plank flooring with a swirl pattern that matches the color scheme of the walls. We think it fits the feel of the resort — it is the BOARDWALK hotel, after all. What are your thoughts? A closer look at the carpet Here’s a peek at the Steeplechase Suite — the doors have some pretty gold lettering and bright white doors. Some of the doors have some gold highlights Now, let’s take a closer look at the decoration that probably stood out to you the most: the LIGHTS! They may be one of our favorite features of the hallway redesign. We love the way this light showcases some of our favorite Disney pals like Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald; they look so dapper! A closer look at the light Overall, we enjoy the new design and the way everything feels tied together. Even the artwork on the walls feels like it matches that charming old-timey seaside vibe perfectly. We love the halls! Don’t forget about all the other construction going on at the other Disney World parks and resorts, because it could impact your next vacation! As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news. Mysterious construction walls have gone up in this Disney World park — check them out here! Want More Details About Disney World’s Hotels?

Not all Disney World snacks are created equally — trust us, we’ve tried them all. Main Street Confectionery But, if you want your pick of the most iconic (and photo-worthy) treats, there’s only one place to go: Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Confectionery, of course! You might have a hard time choosing just what to get, but we think we may be able to help you out with that. Main Street Confectionery is home to all things Disney sweets and treats, and it’s a must-do on our list every time we’re in Magic Kingdom. But, how do you know just which snacks to get? That’s where we come in — and we’re bringing you our definitive ranking of every snack in the Main Street Confectionery Case! Pretzel Rods We’re kicking things off with the bottom of our list, and unfortunately, that means it’s time to talk about the lowly Pretzel Rod. This candy-clad, chocolate-dipped salty snack is pricy for what you get — $5 for a single pretzel rod is a little steep if you ask us. Pretzel Rod While they may be a decent snack for on the go, there are plenty of other iconic Disney snacks that are more worth your time and money. If you’re really craving a giant pretzel stick, chances are you can find one at your local grocery store and it will cost a lot less! Cake Pops These ain’t no Starbucks cake pops — that’s for sure. In our experience, these tend to be on the dry side, kind of like a chalky brownie. They’re pretty expensive for the size of the treat, and they’re harboring a dirty little secret. Cake Pops If you’re expecting a cake pop the whole way through this treat, you might be sorely disappointed. We’ve gone to take a bite out of one of the ears before only to find that it was a marshmallow all along! That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but if you’re expecting this cake pop to knock your socks off, you might want to temper your expectations. Dipped Marshmallows Speaking of marshmallows, the hand-dipped ones you can find in the Confectionery case do get some extra points for being oh-so-photogenic, and they are kind of fun to eat. Fair warning though, they are extremely sweet, so prepare for an impending sugar rush if you feed them to your kids. Marshmallows We do have qualms with the price here yet again, as $6.50 is a steep price to pay for a small-ish marshmallow — but live your life! If your heart says to get the marshmallow, get the marshmallow. Just know that there are even better treats hiding here! Cookies We never met a cookie we didn’t like, truthfully. But we will say that some cookies are better than others, and while the cookies at the Confectionery aren’t anything to write home about — they’re not too bad either. If you’re really craving a giant cookie or are looking to split something, then this might do the trick. Cookies These cookies tend to be a bit dry and crumbly and make a bit of a mess when you’re eating them (but what Disney dessert doesn’t?!). They do make for decent leftovers if you don’t happen to finish the whole thing though. Just toss it in your bag for later when you need a lil snack! Scones Next up on our ranking is the Mickey Scone with Chocolate. We know what you’re thinking — a scone? Really? YES! And here’s why — this thing is a pretty good value for the size! For $5.49, you get a thick, chocolate-covered scone that could easily be shared between friends. Scone Chocolate fans might get a kick out of this as there are chips loaded throughout, plus a chocolate drizzle and Mickey-shaped chocolate pieces too! Fudge You’ll find fudge on the menu over here as well, in a few different flavors. When we visited most recently, we spotted Peanut Butter Fudge with M&M’s Peanut Butter, Chocolate Pretzel Fudge, and Chocolate Fudge with Twix. Fudge But, depending on what time of year you’re visiting, it’s possible that there may be seasonal flavors of fudge too! Around Halloween, we’ve seen pumpkin spice and during Christmastime, we’ve seen egg nog fudge. It’s creamy, but it is extremely sweet and can easily melt in that Florida sun. We don’t find this travels too well, so keep that in mind! Caramel Apples Ah, it’s time to talk about the controversial Caramel Apple. Delightful to look at, delicious in theory, and ridiculously difficult to eat. But dang, aren’t they cute?! At around $13 a pop, they’re certainly an expensive treat, but they’re made by hand with great skill so we’re okay with it. Caramel Apples What we aren’t okay with, though, is the ooey, gooey, sticky mess that follows trying to eat one of these bad boys. They’re not easy to pack up if you decide to save some for later, either. Caramel apples do get bonus points for being so fun to look at, and we often see seasonal designs pop up throughout the year! Cupcakes Disney cupcakes can be pretty hit or miss, but if you’ve got a hankerin’ for a solid, no fuss, sweet treat — this is your answer. Of course, there are much fancier and flashier desserts for you to choose from, but sometimes all you want is a cupcake with Mickey ears as you walk down Main Street, U.S.A. Cupcakes Cupcakes are another dessert that will get a seasonal makeover or even just for one day of the year! Chances are, if there’s a holiday coming up you’ll be able to find a special cupcake for it. We will warn you, though, that the icing on these bad boys tends to stain lips, teeth, hands, knees, shoulders, toes, and definitely that clean white shirt you’re wearing. Brownie/Blondie Pie Now we’re really getting into the good stuff. Main Street Confectionery is home to some delicious pies — specifically the Brownie and Blondie pies! Chocolate lovers will no doubt be into the soft, rich, chewy brownie pie that’s drizzled with chocolate sauce. Brownie and Blondie Pies The blondie is delicious too, with a buttery, almost salty flavor that’s a bit less sweet than the brownie. You’ll still find some chocolate pieces in this one too, and at $6.50, it’s a pretty good value for the size of the treat. Crisped Rice Cereal Treats Runner up for the BEST treat you can get in the Confectionery case are the Crisped Rice Cereal Treats. These things pack a pretty big punch! They’re a decent size for the price, and are easily sharable if that’s your jam. And can we talk about how adorable they are? These treats are iconic for a reason. Cereal Treats You can typically get a Mickey version and a Minnie version, but depending on when you’re visiting there may be seasonal designs too. And, since they come on a stick, these treats get points for being one of the least messy you can get in the parks! Peanut Butter Cookie Pie Well, folks, here we are. We’re bringing things home with the number one snack on our list here — the Peanut Butter Cookie Pie is our absolute favorite. It’s a cookie, it’s a pie, it’s covered in M&M’s and tastes like peanut butter. What is not to love about this?! It’s shareable like the other cookie pies on the list, but this one just stands above the rest thanks to that peanut buttery goodness. Peanut Butter Cookie Pie WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World! Check out our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining + Snacks Bundle for all the details you need to plan your snackin’ and spending. You can even download them to your smartphone – it’ll be like we’re right there with you in the parks! Stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney World snack news and more!

On June 18th, 2023, prepare to celebrate one of the most popular foods among seafood lovers — sushi! Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs We’ve been celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Disney recently, but that doesn’t mean we’re done celebrating just yet! Disney’s Iron Chef Morimoto of Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs is sharing a savory, simple recipe that you can make for any occasion! Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs is gearing up to highlight Sushi — it’s a Japanese delicacy! But luckily, you can celebrate at home, too. If you enjoy sushi and Japanese cuisine, Morimoto Asia and Iron Chef Morimoto have personally shared a recipe on how to make sushi, more specifically, the Eel Avocado Roll. Morimoto Asia samplings So let’s talk you through how to make this one! Ingredients 4 oz. cooked short-grain *sushi rice, at room temperature 1 pc half-size nori seaweed sheet 2 oz. cut BBQ eel (unagi) warmed in an oven 1 oz. avocado cut into 3 slices ½ oz. julienne cucumber 1 tsp. white or black & white mixed sesame seeds ½ oz. sushi pickled ginger 1 tsp. wasabi Directions Place a nori sheet lengthwise on a cutting board. Wet your hands in cool water and take a handful of sushi rice. Place the rice in the center of the nori and use your fingers to spread the rice evenly over the nori and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the rice. Then, turn the sheet of nori over so that the rice side is facing down. You’ll want to put the BBQ eel, cucumbers, and avocado in the middle of the nori sheet NOTE: You can also use any julienne or stick vegetables to substitute crab for a veggie roll! Grab the bottom edge of the nori/rice sheet, and roll it into a tight cylinder. Then, use a sushi rolling mat and roll it forward while keeping gentle pressure on the mat. You’ll then want to push both ends of the roll to make it tight. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces. Lastly, plate with wasabi and sushi ginger to serve! Sushi at Morimoto Asia That’s not all Iron Chef Morimoto is willing to share. In the spirit of celebration, he’s passing along some great tips and must-knows for eating sushi. Just because a certain style of sushi isn’t “authentic” doesn’t mean it’s not worth eating. Sushi in America is different from what you’ll find in Japan. Just like many other cultural elements, food travels from its birthplace to another part of the world. Then it evolves, changes, and eventually sets down. Tradition actually dictates eating sushi with your hands vs. chopsticks but chopsticks are acceptable, too, according to Chef Morimoto. Do not automatically dip your sushi in soy sauce. Taste the fish first as you want to experience the sushi’s flavor first. Do not mix wasabi and soy sauce together into a murky soup mess. This is a no-no. It takes many years to properly learn the craft of sushi-making. Traditionally, a sushi apprentice may study for nearly a decade, the first two years of which he or she is not even allowed to touch the fish. Sushi was originally a street food and is often consumed in the way we eat tacos or pretzels from street vendors. That all changed after the giant Tokyo earthquake of the 1920s, which brought down the cost of real estate and led to sushi chefs opening storefronts. Never eat sushi with cold rice. It will lose its sweetness, killing the layers of sushi. Goodbye grocery store sushi case! That was quite the treat! We can’t wait to start honing our sushi-making skills. Will you be trying your hand at this sushi roll? Have you ever tried to make sushi before? We’ve got tons of recipes from Disney restaurants and chefs that we love to share with you.

One of the HOT news topics for people looking to travel to Central Florida right now is the Brightline train. ©Brightline This rail service will soon be operating from southern Florida all the way to Orlando, with a station opening at the Orlando International Airport. Tickets are already on sale if you want to book your trip. But now, it looks like there may be a small hurdle in the way of your travel. The Orlando Business Journal reports that Brightline’s train schedule between South Florida and Orlando could be affected by a new plan from the U.S. Coast Guard. The plan involves opening a rail drawbridge in Martin County twice each hour. Brightline Orlando Train Station With this plan, the Florida East Coast Railroad Bridge above the Okeechobee Waterway would open regularly every half hour (on the quarter and three-quarter hours) and remain open until “all vessels requiring or requesting an opening have cleared.” The bridge would not be open for more than 15 minutes at a time, but it’s possible that this could affect rail traffic. Brightline train at Orlando Airport These temporary regulations will be in effect from June 21st-December 17th. During that time, the Coast Guard will evaluate how the new regulations will affect rail and boat traffic. Both Brightline and the Florida East Coast Railroad (FECR) are against the plan, claiming that it will cause delays for trains that may last up to an hour. Brightline also noted that it could cause passenger service to drop by 50%. ©Brightline “The temporary deviation issued by the Coast Guard was done unilaterally and without authority or regard for due process,” said a statement from Brightline and FECR. “As written, it is deeply flawed and will result in dramatic impacts to local traffic, create safety issues for the public, and is impossible for freight and passenger railroad operations to comply.” Previously, the bridge would only open for a single 15-minute period each hour, which was inconvenient for marine businesses in the area. When the bridge is closed, there’s only a 6-ft vertical clearance for boats to travel underneath. The long-range solution would be to construct a new bridge, which is the preferred solution for both Brightline and FECR. ©Brightline via The Orlando Sentinel Currently, the bridge is only used by freight trains 12-14 times per night. However, with Brightline adding its new route to Orlando, train traffic will be increased to 32 times per day. We’ll keep you updated if we learn more about this bridge and the impact that it could have on Brightline travel, so stay tuned to DFB. Click Here to Check Out the Brightline Train Station!

There’s lots of construction happening in Disney World right now. Construction near Grand Floridian Cafe and Gasparilla Island Grill Mysterious construction walls just went up in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and lots of construction is happening at the Grand Floridian Resort. However, one construction project is complete over at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn — come with us to see the newly renovated Concierge Lounge! The Concierge Lounge closed at the BoardWalk Inn back in March to be revamped, and now it’s finally reopened! There are beautiful comfy blue chairs to relax in and tables to use while guests enjoy their complimentary snacks. We also love the chandelier and all the natural light that comes in through the windows. Newly renovated Concierge Lounge There are also plenty of complimentary snacks to dine on, so you’ve got lots of options! The dining station A few of the offerings we spotted were fresh fruit and vegetables, along with some dip to accompany them. A few of the offerings And we can’t forget about the drinks! We spotted sodas, sparkling water, coffee, and tea. Some are bottled, while others can be taken with you in a to-go container or sipped in fancy glassware. Can’t forget the drinks! As a reminder, the Concierge Lounge is only available for Club Level/Concierge Level guests as an added luxury for those willing to pay the higher cost of these rooms. You’ll commonly find a continental breakfast here, as well as light snacks, wine, cheese, desserts, drinks, and some adult beverages. Dining here before heading into the park is a great way to save some money by not paying for a meal, and you can bring the bottled drinks into the parks with you. We love it in here! We also recently got a look at the new rooms at the Boardwalk Inn, and more construction is wrapping up around the resort, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney construction updates. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is also undergoing changes! Check out the recent construction right here. Want More Details About Disney World’s Hotels?

Disney Cruise Line announced brand-new holiday entertainment coming to Very Merrytime cruises in 2023, and more magical family vacations at sea in fall 2024!View the full article

Brand-new deck party and tree lighting ceremony headline new offerings on Very Merrytime cruises CELEBRATION, Fla. (June 14, 2023) – The most wonderful time of the year will be even more joyful this holiday season as Disney Cruise Line unwraps new festivities for the whole family aboard Very Merrytime cruises. With two brand-new entertainment experiences, Disney characters dressed in jolly new looks and celebratory activities for the whole family, Disney Cruise Line will be filled with the spirit of the holidays this year. On the first night of all Very Merrytime sailings, guests will gather around the three-deck-tall tree in the ship’s atrium for a new tree lighting ceremony. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy will invite guests to sing along to classic holiday tunes, followed by a countdown that will not only make the tree merry and bright, but will also introduce the guest of honor for the cruise, Santa Claus. Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, another brand-new experience on these special sailings, will invite families to the upper decks for a one-of-a-kind celebration at sea filled with good tidings and cheer. This high-energy deck party – thrown by Mickey and Minnie – will feature favorite Disney friends as they celebrate friendship, love and family with a fresh mix of classic and original holiday songs during this special time of year. In addition to these new holiday offerings, the Disney Cruise Line decks and halls will be filled with boughs of holly from bow-to-stern during Very Merrytime cruises. These guest-favorite sailings will also include: Beloved Disney characters debuting new holiday attire; Themed Very Merrytime activities for the entire family; Carolers singing contemporary versions of songs that celebrate a myriad of holidays; and Commemorative merchandise and festive food and beverage items. With cruises from Florida and California, adults and children alike will discover the wonder of the holidays aboard Very Merrytime sailings in 2023. Disney Cruise Line will set sail from a new South Florida home in Fort Lauderdale, offering four- and five-night Very Merrytime cruises aboard the Disney Dream to tropical locales in the western Caribbean and Bahamas. Also from Florida, the Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy will continue sailing from Port Canaveral to The Bahamas and Caribbean. The Disney Magic will set sail to Baja and the Mexican Riviera from San Diego for holiday sailings before wrapping up the season in Galveston, Texas with Very Merrytime cruises to the western Caribbean.
