If you’ve been a follower of DFB for a while, then you know that we’re all about the Disney snacks! Spaceship Earth We’ve got a list of tried-and-true favorites, but we’re also constantly on the lookout for new treats to try in the parks and resorts. EPCOT tends to be a treasure trove of snacks with many goodies from around the World Showcase, and recently, Disney added another item to the menu. Connections Cafe is the Starbucks location inside EPCOT, located next to Connections Eatery. Disney shared recently that a new snack would be coming to Connections — the Baumkuchen, which is translated as “tree cake” in German. Baumkuchen The snack arrived on June 6th in two different flavors: vanilla and chocolate. You can get these little cakes for $5.99 each. New treats! When we stopped by to pick up our order, we could watch the chefs making the treats through the kitchen windows. And there are several informational signs up with details about the Baumkuchen. There are informational signs all around. First up, we’ve got the Vanilla Baumkuchen, made with 15 layers (!!!) of cake and vanilla flavoring. Each of these comes packed in an individual box. They come in boxes! This was surprisingly fluffy and light, even though we expected it to be brittle. You can taste the vanilla and the light icing coating the outside and neither flavor is too overwhelming. Vanilla It can get a tad dry in the middle of the ring, and we wish that we would’ve had a little larger of a portion, but all in all, it was really delicious! We highly recommend this to vanilla cake fans. Inside the cake The other option is the Chocolate Baumkuchen, which was a little bit heavier than its vanilla counterpart. But man, was it good! It’s also made with 15 layers of cake and the milk chocolate coating reminded us of the kind used on Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars. The layers of cake were light and fluffy. Chocolate Our warning here though — this is a MESSY treat! That chocolate melts fast in the sun, so you may want to eat this one indoors and keep some napkins on hand. It’s probably worth it though. Inside the cake So should you stop by Connections Cafe to try the two new treats? We really enjoyed them! It’s nice to get a little variety inside a pretty typical Starbucks location. We’ll keep you in the loop with more Disney World snack reviews, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest! We’ll let you know if any more must-have treats pop up in EPCOT.

They’re tried and true, they’re quick and easy to grab, and even our picky 3-year-olds will eat them. YUM Yep, we’re talking about the Corn Dog Nuggets at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom! These mini corndogs are a must-get for many of us on days in Magic Kingdom when we want something quick, light(ish), and yummy. After all, you can never go wrong with the classic comfort foods! There’s only one downside. They’re ONLY available in Magic Kingdom. JUST KIDDING! They can actually be found at another park at Disney World, and this post is your guide map to finding them. You can get the SAME Corn Dog Nuggets (or some that are pretty darn similar) at the KRNR Rock Station Kiosk in Disney’s Hollywood Studios — right next to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster! KRNR The Rock Station We’ve tried these in the past, but many Disney visitors forget that they’re here! We figured that now was the PERFECT time for a reminder that these bad boys exist right next to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, which only recently reopened after a long closure. You can get them for $10.49 alongside a bag of chips (the same price that you’ll see at Casey’s Corner). Just please don’t eat them BEFORE you ride Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. That’s our one request, alright? And it’s for your own good. Menu Now, the only thing that we don’t love about these particular corn dog nuggs compared to the ones in Magic Kingdom is that the MK version comes with those delicious Disney World fries (that are very similar to McDonald’s fries — thin and crispy and amazing), whereas the Hollywood Studios version comes with chips instead. Still, we can’t complain when we have our nuggs! So, the next time you have a hankering for these crispy Corn Dog Nuggets, and you’re not in Magic Kingdom, rest assured that you can grab them here as well (and you can even get the iconic plastic cheese sauce to go with them — we know you were worried about that). Corn dog nuggets at Hollywood Studios? Yes! What do you think? Will you be grabbing some Corn Dog Nuggets during your next Hollywood Studios park day? We’ll continue to keep you updated with all things Disney World news, snacks included. Make sure to follow along for more so that you’re always in the loop and never hungry in the Disney Parks.

Marvel has built quite a name for itself when it comes to box office hits — and the Captain America franchise is no different. Captain America Back when it was first announced that a fourth Captain America movie was in the works, we knew we’d be in for an adventure that followed Sam Wilson as he takes up the shield. And now, in the wake of the Writers Guild of America Strike, we have another update on the film. Marvel Studios recently announced that the fourth installment of the Captain America franchise has been retitled. The original title was Captain America: New World Order, but it looks like the studio has changed its mind — the new title is Captain America: Brave New World. Marvel didn’t share the reason behind the name change but did share that the release date is still May 3rd, 2024, so that much has not changed — at least for now. Sam Wilson We recently reported that one Marvel production — Blade — had to stop production due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. It was supposed to begin filming in Atlanta in June, but the strike has delayed production. While Captain America: Brave New World, has already been written, it’s possible that the strike could affect the filming of this project too, as Marvel typically has a writer on set to rework scenes as needed. ©Marvel If you can’t wait until 2024 to get your Captain America fix, don’t worry — you can watch all the Captain America and Avengers films on Disney+ right now. If you’re heading to Disney California Adventure soon, keep an eye out for Cap at Avengers Campus — and look out for Rogers: The Musical coming soon too!

We won’t lie, there are some seriously impressive animatronics in Disney World! Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run pre-show From the Shaman of Song on Na’vi River Journey to Hondo Ohnaka in the pre-show of Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, Disney has done some very cool work with technology in the past few years. But even though there are certain animatronics that take our breath away, there are others that sometimes look a little…off. One such example is the infamous animatronics on Frozen Ever After in EPCOT. These figures use projection mapping technology to project faces onto blank heads, and sometimes the effect can be a little jarring. We’ve even seen cases in the past of the projection mapping glitching and making the characters’ expressions disappear entirely. Anna and Kristoff The animatronics on that ride have been a hot topic of discussion in the spheres of Disney fans for the past few years. (Some people likely have magnified disgruntlement due to the loss of Maelstrom, which was Frozen Ever After’s predecessor.) But now, it looks like Disney has taken the feedback and is stepping up its game! Frozen Ever After in Disney World In Hong Kong Disneyland, Disney is currently building a land called World of Frozen, where there will be another Frozen Ever After ride. And from the sneak peek at the ride that Disney shared, it looks like they’ve improved the animatronics! It just goes to show how much technology has advanced in the past few years. Many people in the comments were calling for Disney to update the EPCOT version of the ride, but no plans have been announced for that. We’ll be on the lookout for any more news about World of Frozen in Hong Kong! Click Here to Learn About the Opening Timeline for the Land!

Okay, you may have read that title and thought, “Ouch!” — seems a little harsh, no? But lately, “Be our guest” has taken on a whole new meaning; Disney is practically begging people to be their guests and dine at the Beauty and the Beast-inspired restaurant. Be Our Guest The truth is, Be Our Guest Restaurant was once one of the hardest reservations to get in Disney World. Now, most days, it’s pretty easy to get a table at Be Our Guest. Why? Well, in the words of Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts, “There’s something there that wasn’t there before.” The good old days Let’s take a trip down memory lane. When Be Our Guest first opened in 2012, the restaurant was well-regarded as one of the most stunning, immersive restaurants in the Magic Kingdom. In fact, we were among the first to dine at the restaurant way back in 2012! Be Our Guest Restaurant’s Grand Ballroom Back in the day, this restaurant served a Counter-Service (fast-casual) Breakfast and Lunch, then switched to a Table Service (sit-down) meal for Dinner. Despite the fact that this spot only served Counter-Service meals at breakfast and lunch, guests still had to make Advanced Dining Reservations. It was that popular! Mickey Waffles Not only that, but guests pre-ordered their meals using My Disney Experience before their dining date. It was a TOTALLY different dining experience — but we loved it. The food was delicious, and the meal felt like a good value considering the stunning setting, quality entrees, and overall popularity. What went wrong Unfortunately, Disney decided to change things up. In 2018, Disney changed its service. Now, the restaurant is regarded as a Signature meal with a prix fixe menu. Translation: MAJOR price increase. Rose Gallery Previously, the Table Service Dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant offered an a la carte menu, but starting on July 27th, 2018, Dinner became a prix fixe, 3-course affair. Back in 2018, the meal was $55 for adults and $35 for children; today, it costs $67 for adults and $39 for kids. That fan-favorite Counter-Service breakfast is gone, and two heavy full-course lunch and dinner options have taken over. Filet Mignon at Be Our Guest Not only that, but dining reviewers started souring on the food. Thanks to that nearly $70 per-person price tag, guests are expecting some quality food (as they should!). Unfortunately, many feel that the atmosphere is the best part of the dining experience. We just can’t stomach those prices — or those heavy meals at 1:00 in the afternoon in the dead of summer. We weren’t feeling it… Need more proof that the restaurant isn’t as popular as it used to be? We’ve seen Be Our Guest Cast Members walk around Fantasyland and advertise the restaurant’s open availability. In fact, we were once approached by a Cast Member one evening, and they offered us a table at Be Our Guest. Of course, this doesn’t happen all the time, but we have seen it happen in the past. Even The Crystal Palace has advertised open availability! The truth is, many Disney guests just don’t want to pay a premium on top of an already high-cost vacation. If the Star Wars hotel was any proof, it seems like guest demand just isn’t there for those ultra-pricey experiences. Who knows, maybe Disney will change the menu someday to restore Be Our Guest to its former glory. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more!

After a long day of work, school, or even a trip to Disney World — sometimes you’re just really craving some chicky nugs and french fries from McDonald’s (just us?!). McNuggets No matter what your go-to order might be, sometimes it’s nice to live a little and shake things up a bit. Folks itchin’ for something new are in for a treat, because new menu items are coming to McDonald’s soon! McDonald’s is celebrating an iconic character’s birthday — Grimace! And of course, there’s only one way to celebrate a giant purple… whatever he is, with new food! Beginning June 12th, you can order the Grimace Birthday Meal, which features a limited-edition purple shake inspired by his “iconic color and sweetness.” YOU’RE INVITED: McDonald’s Celebrates Grimace’s Birthday with Special Meal & Shake The meal comes with your choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, and World Famous Fries. According to Today, the Grimace Shake is made with vanilla soft serve and berry flavors. YUM Not only that, but McDonald’s will be launching a video game in collaboration with Krool Toys, where you can put yourself in Grimace’s world featuring characters like Birdie and Hamburglar too. It will be available and free to play on mobile and desktop on June 12th. World’s Largest Entertainment McDonald’s You’ll also be able to shop Grimace-inspired merch on the McDonald’s store website. And, from June 13th to 14th, you can visit the McDonald’s Instagram story and share a photo of your “favorite birthday memory via the “add yours” sticker. For every picture shared, they’ll donate $5 to Ronald McDonald House Charities — up to $200k. Hamburglar So, just who (and what) is Grimace? McDonald’s shared a bit of background about the purple… dude in the press release: “Grimace is from Grimace Island and comes from a huge family (including his Grandma Winky, aunts Millie and Tillie and his Uncle O’Grimacey!) Our timeless bestie has become a fan-favorite known for his signature fuzzy purple look, friendly and playful personality, love for shakes, and of course – ambiguous nature. What exactly is Grimace? Perhaps we’ll never know…” McDonald’s While we may never know what Grimace is, we know we’ll be heading to McDonald’s to scoop this meal and shake up ASAP.

There are plenty of ways to take your Disney World vacation to the next level. Flowers at Magic Kingdom You can book a fireworks dining package, a behind-the-scenes tour, or maybe even plan a special surprise for someone in your travel group. If you’re looking for a special enhancement for your next Disney World hotel stay, we have some news you might want to know about.

With this service, you can add baskets, floral arrangements, gifts, and more to your room package to make your trip even more magical.

The news was shared with Disney Travel Agents on June 5th. ©Disney Disney shared that as a result of this change, “guests and clients will not have the option to add floral, gifts and other related Disney Resort hotel in-room amenities to Walt Disney Travel Company packages.” You can continue to add these offerings to your Walt Disney Travel Company packages through trips on or before August 26th. ©Disney Orders placed through Disney Floral & Gifts on August 27th or later will be refunded.

Expedition Everest is the TALLEST ride at Disney World. Yep, at 199.5 feet, it’s slightly taller than the Tower of Terror. Expedition Everest If you’re a little anxious about riding roller coasters in Disney World, you might be wondering how fast this roller coaster — and others — go. So, let’s take a look! Expedition Everest is a thrilling roller coaster that speeds through the Himalayas — and you’ll encounter the infamous Yeti! This attraction is located in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom. This coaster has a height requirement of 44 inches. Expedition Everest Expedition Everest opened in April 2006, and at the time, it was the most expensive roller coaster ever built — at a cost of an estimated $100 million. Its top speed is 50 miles per hour. By comparison, the top speed for the classic Disney roller coaster Space Mountain is just 27 miles per hour, and the top speed for Disney’s newest roller coaster, TRON Lightcycle / Run, is just under 60 miles per hour. Expedition Everest queue The restraint system for this ride is a lap bar. I tend to determine — at least partially — the intensity of a ride by how “serious” the restraint system is, and a lap bar on my scale would be pretty tame. The ride is intense — especially in one part where it comes to an abrupt stop and then speeds backwards down a hill, but there are no inversions or anything close to that if that’s where your fear of a roller coaster is based. Everest at dusk So, there you have it — the speed of Expedition Everest and some more facts about the ride! What else do you want to know about this Animal Kingdom roller coaster?

Lately, Disney has been wowing us with some futuristic developments. ©Disney We’ve seen a GIANT Hulk meeting guests in Disney parks, talked to a real-life Tinkerbell in a tiny lantern, and have even seen a life-like robotic rabbit rollerblading on stage at SXSW. But soon, a new product will allow Disney fans to bring some of that futuristic magic into their own homes. That’s right, Disney and Apple are partnering to create interactive experiences with a new mixed-reality headset. According to CNN, the Apple Vision Pro will blend virtual reality and augmented reality (“a technology that allows users to overlay virtual images on live video of the real world”). The news was shared during a keynote presentation at Apple’s WWDC, a technology conference held every year. ©Apple | Bob Iger speaking during Apple WWDC 23 keynote event With this new device, the user will be “able to see apps directly projected in front of them. The interface is designed to look ‘truly present’ in your room, responding to light and casting shadows to help users understand scale and distance.” The headset is even programmed to respond to hand and eye movement, so it can feel as though “your mind is guiding the experience.” ©Apple So, how is Disney participating in this rollout? Well, Apple shared that they are working to develop Disney, National Geographic, Marvel, and ESPN experiences for the headset. From day one of its release, Disney+ will be available with the device, according to Iger. The Apple Hub shared on Twitter some teaser images of what we can expect with Disney+ when it comes out. Apple will sell this new product for $3,499, and it is set to release sometime early next year. We’ll keep an eye out for any more updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

The 8PM option features a cigar pairing, is out on The Edison’s Lake Side patio, and is $95++ per person. ©The Edison So what do you get for the price?

Cinderella’s Royal Table is an iconic Disney World restaurant. In fact, its location inside Cinderella Castle might just make it the MOST iconic of all. Cinderella’s Royal Table So you might be wondering with such fancy surroudings, does Cinderella’s Royal Table have a dress code? We’ll start here by saying that some of Disney World’s fanciest restaurants inside its hotels DO have a dress code, but since Cinderella’s Royal Table is inside the Magic Kingdom theme park, it does not.
