CELEBRATION, Fla. — Aboard the Disney Fantasy, guests age 18 and older can enjoy secluded places and pampering, plus nighttime entertainment venues just for adults. Add fine dining, a deluxe spa, tranquil private pools, secluded sundecks and a comfy café, and the result is a vacation full of ways adults can indulge, unwind, relax and rejuvenate themselves in exclusive areas. Exquisite Specialty Dining Two distinctive, adults-only dining experiences whisk guests away to an epicurean delight aboard the Disney Fantasy. Available as alternatives to the normal rotational dining experiences, these refined culinary adventures on Deck 12 are reserved for guests ages 18 and older: Modern Italian Cuisine at Palo Named after the colorful poles that line the canals of Venice, Palo offers a superlative dining experience in a sophisticated atmosphere reserved exclusively for adults. At this elegant restaurant, guests are invited to indulge in a menu of delectable modern Italian cuisine, classic reserve wines and superior service. Palo provides an unforgettable dinner experience at sea. With a semi-circular design, floor-to- ceiling windows and raised banquettes along one side, every seat offers beautiful vistas. Stylish furnishings, Frette linens, custom art, warm wood tones and a color palate of rich red, green and gold jewel tones create a refined, Italian-inspired décor. The restaurant’s wine list includes about 90 labels from all regions of Italy, including a sparkling Prosecco, a lush red Barolo made just for Palo, and some of the best Super Tuscans. The signature Balsamic Grande cocktail features vodka, a splash of five-year-old balsamic vinegar and fresh muddled strawberries. After dinner, a traditional grappa is offered. In addition to romantic dinners, Palo offers an adult-only Champagne brunch on sea days and select port days. The brunch features Palo’s signature pizzas, made-to-order entrées, seafood, a selection of international cheeses, fresh breads and pastries, desserts, champagne and mimosas. Between Remy and Palo is Meridian lounge, where guests can enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif or an after-dinner cocktail. With décor inspired by the early days of sea travel, this adult-exclusive lounge has inside seating and an outside teak deck, ideal for watching a sunset or relaxing with a cigar from a fine assortment available at the bar. Reservations are required for all Palo dining experiences. There is an additional charge for dinner and brunch, plus the cost of alcoholic beverages. French-Inspired Remy With gourmet cuisine by two award-winning chefs and a unique approach to wine service, Remy melds classic and contemporary styles in a sophisticated new dining concept exclusively for guests age 18 and older. From the moment guests walk through the door at Remy, they are transported to a fine French dining experience. Chef Arnaud Lallement from l’Assiette Champenoise, a Michelin three-star restaurant just outside Reims, France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from award-winning Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World Resort have collaborated to create a French-inspired menu featuring superior products and seasonal ingredients sourced from around the world. Dinner at Remy is a lavish and leisurely affair, starting with a signature chilled Taittinger Champagne cocktail made tableside, followed by eight to nine small courses complemented by a stellar wine list. Lallement’s cuisine is simple and stylish, earning l’Assiette Champenoise three stars from Michelin – the highest possible honor. Hunnel’s innovative dishes garnered Victoria & Albert’s the coveted AAA Five Diamonds, a rating accorded a mere 0.19 percent of restaurants in North America and the Caribbean. Polished touches at Remy include a tableside trolley for serving international cheeses and decanting stations for wines. Guests may order from two tastings menus that include wine pairings, or order a la carte from the menu. With a subtle nod to the hit Disney•Pixar film “Ratatouille” and its petite French star Remy, the softly lit main dining room with seating for 80 is designed in art nouveau style. The famous Remy character is subtly and artfully integrated into the design. Tables are elegantly set with Frette linens, Riedel glassware, Christofle silverware and Bernadaud china made exclusively for Remy, with gracious accents such as purse stools for women’s handbags. The attentive serving staff is part of the sophisticated story, dressed in long white aprons, black jackets or burgundy vests and bow ties. A private Chef’s Table dining room, Chez Gusteau (inspired by the fictional Paris restaurant in “Ratatouille”), seats eight. The intimate room is furnished with rich décor inspired by the film— bold, red carpet, chairs and drapes with touches of gold, opulent chandeliers, and scenes of Paris on the walls. Guests also may dine in the glass-walled wine room amid more than 900 bottles of wine. Once dinner is booked and guests are on board, they are invited to meet with a sommelier in Remy’s glass-walled wine room to taste and pre-select their wines for the evening. The restaurant offers two wine lists: a special French list with 200 vintages from most every region in France, and Remy’s Vault, a separate and exclusive wine list with rare wines from all over the world. Select wines from the French list also are available by the glass. From Remy’s Vault, 22 wines are selected as the best of the best, presented by white-gloved sommeliers in an elegant velvet box that opens like a book with the name of each wine engraved on a silver-plated plaque. The list includes a 1947 Château Cheval Blanc, another nod to “Ratatouille” (the wine requested by the movie’s food critic). Considered one of the best vintages in the world, a single bottle of Château Cheval Blanc retails for $25,000. After-dinner libations include Rémy Martin Louis XIII Rare Cask, one of the most sought-after cognacs for connoisseurs, aged in centuries-old casks and served from an elegant Baccarat crystal decanter, and a rare bottle of 43-year-old Camus Cuvee 4.176 Cognac, presented in an engraved Baccarat crystal decanter. The dinner experience at Remy is $125 per person, plus the cost of wine and other alcoholic beverages. Optional wine pairings selected from the French list are offered at $120. Remy offers an elegant Champagne brunch on sea days and select port days. The brunch features a decadent six-course French-inspired meal and a selection of Champagnes to perfectly pair with each dish. Brunch at Remy is $75 per person and includes one complimentary glass of Champagne. An optional Champagne pairing is offered at an additional $30 per person. Meridian Nestled between Palo and Remy is Meridian, a cozy getaway with a décor inspired by the early days of sea travel. The venue features a sextant navigational tool embedded in the floor, banquettes with buckles to resemble old steamer trunks and leather maps embossed with passport stamps from around the world adorning the walls. Enchanting Nightlife — Europa Europa is the Disney Fantasy’s passport to “nightlife” – a veritable continent of adult fun, without any borders. Guests age 18 and older can go “country hopping” among clubs, pubs and lounges that celebrate Europe – all in a single location: Deck 4, Aft. The five “nightspots” whisk guests to Italy, Ireland, England, France and, depending upon the moment, Greece, Spain, Hungary or Russia for sipping and socializing, dancing, watching and rooting or just plain hanging out, lounging and winding down. Each of the clubs is meticulously themed and designed to serve up treats for the eyes and ears as well as tantalizing libations. Skyline Imagine a luxury penthouse – metropolitan and modern – perched high above the city – or in this case, one of several great European cities – with a panoramic view of the urban landscape below and to the horizon. That’s the chic and spectacular experience in Skyline. Skyline is an ever-changing venue. Throughout the evening, the views take guests on a journey to St. Petersburg, Russia; Athens, Greece; Florence, Italy; Budapest, Hungary; Paris; London and Barcelona. Tall “windows” along one wall allow guests to gaze upon a variety of magnificent cityscapes. The “windows” are seven large screens sequenced to fill a wall with a breathtaking skyline that changes from place to place. And as guests relax amid lustrous wood and metal finishes in this sleek “penthouse” living room complete with a digital fireplace, not just the view but also the menu changes. Signature cocktails, inspired by the Skyline cities, are infused with fresh herbs and fruits, such as Barcelona’s El Conquistador with strawberry, basil and fresh cracked pepper; the Aphrodite from Athens with thyme, coriander, rosemary, basil and mint; and Florence’s Sogno di Cioccolato with sweet cocoa, agave nectar and whipped cream. The Tube From the top of the town at Skyline, the nightlife adventure “descends” to The Tube, a high- energy club that draws some of its thematic inspiration from London’s many train stations. The Tube is designed for an action-packed night of fun and dancing. Guests “mind the gap” as they walk across a Tube route map into a vibrant metropolitan club that is a rocking celebration of England and pop culture: “Mod” furniture, an illuminated Union Jack dance floor and four iconic English phone booths are design highlights. The mixologist created six cocktails inspired by The Tube – including the 1863 (the year the train opened) with vanilla vodka and Imperial English Breakfast Tea. O’Gills Pub O’Gills Pub, a rollicking Irish bar, features dark woods and brass accents reminiscent of the friendly neighborhood pubs throughout Ireland – but includes a modern twist: flat-screen televisions that are all the better for watching live sporting events. And, of course, there are those pints to celebrate with, including a red lager draft made especially for the pub. O’Gills Pub also has its own private label Irish Cream and vintage Irish whisky. For a real treat, ask for the Blarney Stone Tasting flight with O’Gills Irish Cream, Kilbeggan Irish Whisky and Irish coffee. Ooh La La The name says it all: reminiscent of an elegant French boudoir, Ooh La La is a whimsical treat for the eyes and the palate. Guests can recline on a Louis XIV chaise lounge and engage in a sprightly tête-à-tête. Favorite drinks include the Fantasy’s limited edition, private label Ooh La La Champagne by Taittinger, served from the bar inspired by a jewelry box and backed with sparkling diamond-like facets. Victorian furniture, velvet-tufted walls and ornate mirrors – in addition to the sensuous color palate – further enhance the reverie. La Piazza Next-door neighbor to Ooh La La is a lounge inspired by picturesque Italian cities and their decorative plazas. The centerpiece of La Piazza is a bar modeled after a colorful vintage carousel. There are Venetian masks and a classic Vespa with a sidecar and romantic couples’ booths, adding to the Italian flair. All in all, La Piazza is a bright, colorful piece of Italy that just may have guests saying Salute as they toast to the evening – and to a fun-filled night ahead in Europa. The bar menu includes classic Italian drinks, such as sparkling Prosecco, Moretti Peroni beer, red and white wines, grappa, limoncello and after-dinner sips served with almond biscottis. Senses Spa and Senses Fitness Senses Spa & Salon provides tranquility, pampering and relaxation in an ocean-view environment that spans more than 16,000 square feet. 21 private treatment rooms – offering a menu of luxurious spa treatments and services such as massages, body wraps and facials. Rainforest – offering the benefits of steam, heat and hydrotherapy combined with the power of aromatherapy to relax the mind and body. Specialized areas include a steam bath, steam room, tiled sauna and aromatic showers evoking everything from a waterfall to tropical rain to a refreshing mist. Guests can relish Rainforest’s calming ocean views while reclining in heated mosaic tile relaxation chairs, or lounge outside in a whirlpool hot tub on the private teak deck. Two lavish couple’s spa villas – for the ultimate indulgence, the villas feature an indoor spa treatment suite, a personal whirlpool hot tub, shower and a plush, double lounge chair. Ocean-view gym – a nearly 2,500-square-foot gym with state-of-the-art exercise equipment and complimentary group classes such as yoga, Pilates, aerobics, stretching and spinning. Senses Juice Bar – serving made-to-order juices and smoothies using fresh fruits and vegetables. Guests can replenish and refuel with a nutrient-rich beverage after a relaxing spa treatment or invigorating workout. Quiet Cove Pool District Adults can also bask in warm tropical breezes at the Quiet Cove Pool on Deck 11. Quiet Cove Pool, a multi-level pool with varying depths from a six-inch deep sunbathing pool to a four-foot plunge pool, features the ultimate “watering hole”: Cove Bar is a part of the pool.

Halloween can be SCARY at Disney World, but not for the reason you’d think. Mickey pumpkins are back! While spooktacular fireworks and a ride on the Haunted Mansion may be enough to give you the shivers, once you see the PRICE you’ll have to spend on your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets, you might really be frightened. But not all Halloween party dates are priced equally. So let’s take a little of the fright out of your planning and talk about the CHEAPEST days to go to this Halloween event. Not sure what Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is? Well, this is a Halloween-themed event that takes place AFTER Magic Kingdom has closed for the day to “regular” people in Disney World. To enter the party, you’ll need to buy a specific, separate ticket for it. These tickets are available as early as April 27th, 2023 for guests with reservations at Disney hotels. All other guests can purchase tickets starting May 2nd, 2023. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party With your Halloween party ticket, you get: Access to Magic Kingdom starting at 4 PM Access to the Halloween party from 7 PM to 12 AM The chance to view the Halloween-themed fireworks and Halloween-themed Boo-to-You Parade The ability to go on select Magic Kingdom rides with slightly limited crowds (as the park will be open only for party guests) Access to exclusive snacks (which you can purchase) FREE candy through trick-or-treating And ride overlays, access to exclusive merchandise, special entertainment, unique character appearances, and MORE Powerline! Halloween party tickets vary in price depending on the date you want to visit. The cheapest tickets start at $109 per adult and $99 per child. These tickets are available on the following dates: Tuesday, August 15th Friday, August 18th Tuesday, August 22nd Friday, August 25th Tuesday, August 29th None of those dates work for you? Then you can go for tickets the next price up at $119 per adult and $109 per child. The dates included for these tickets are as follows: Friday, September 1st Monday, September 4th Friday, September 8th Sunday, September 10th Tuesday, September 12th Friday, September 15th Sunday, September 17th A bit scary! If those don’t work for you, your next cheapest options are the tickets priced at $149 per adult and $139 per kid. These are available on: Friday, August 11th Tuesday, September 19th Friday, September 22nd Sunday, September 24th Tuesday, September 26th Thursday, September 28th Friday, September 29th Sunday, October 1st Alice and the Hatter!

There are tickets for $169 per adult and $159 per child on the following dates: Tuesday, October 3rd Thursday, October 5th Monday, October 9th Tuesday, October 10th Thursday, October 12th Sunday, October 15th Tuesday, October 17th Thursday, October 19th Sunday, October 22nd Tuesday, October 24th Thursday, October 26th Pooh and Friends in their Halloween costumes The next range of tickets are priced at $189 for adults and $179 for kids and are available for the following dates: Friday, October 6th Friday, October 13th Friday, October 20th Friday, October 27th The Cadaver Dans The most expensive tickets are those for Halloween night and surrounding dates (no surprise there!) and they’re priced at $199 per adult and $189 per kiddo. The available dates are as follows: Sunday, October 29th Tuesday, October 31st Wednesday, November 1st Haunted Mansion in Disney World Important tip: If you’re an Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club member, you can get a $10 discount on your tickets to the party, so take advantage of that to get some extra savings! Also, note that you do NOT need separate Magic Kingdom tickets or a Park Pass for this event. As an extra reminder, your ticket to the party will give you access to the park starting at 4 PM, and then the party at 7PM. So it could take the place of a “regular” park ticket if you want to justify the cost that way. But you will not have as many hours in the park as a regular park ticket would give you. However, you may get on more rides than during a normal day since crowds will likely be lower during the party. Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular Is the party worth the cost? That’s a decision that ultimately will depend on what you want and what’s important to you. If trick-or-treating in Disney World (costumes allowed, with some restrictions), seeing unique characters, and watching a party-exclusive parade sounds like a dream to you, then it might be worth the purchase.

CELEBRATION, Fla. — Aboard the Disney Dream, guests age 18 and older can enjoy secluded places and pampering, plus nighttime entertainment venues just for adults. Add fine dining, a deluxe spa, tranquil private pools, secluded sundecks and a comfy café, and the result is a vacation full of ways adults can indulge, unwind, relax and rejuvenate themselves in exclusive areas. Exquisite Specialty Dining Two distinctive, adults-only dining experiences whisk guests away to an epicurean delight aboard the Disney Dream. Available as alternatives to the normal rotational dining experiences, these refined culinary adventures on Deck 12 are reserved for guests ages 18 and older: Modern Italian Cuisine at Palo Named after the colorful poles that line the canals of Venice, Palo offers a superlative dining experience in a sophisticated atmosphere reserved exclusively for adults. At this elegant restaurant, guests are invited to indulge in a menu of delectable modern Italian cuisine, classic reserve wines and superior service. Palo provides an unforgettable dinner experience at sea. With a semi-circular design, floor-to- ceiling windows and raised banquettes along one side, every seat offers beautiful vistas. Stylish furnishings, Frette linens, custom art, warm wood tones and a color palate of rich red, green and gold jewel tones create a refined, Italian-inspired décor. The restaurant’s wine list includes about 90 labels from all regions of Italy, including a sparkling Prosecco, a lush red Barolo made just for Palo, and some of the best Super Tuscans. The signature Balsamic Grande cocktail features vodka, a splash of five-year-old balsamic vinegar and fresh muddled strawberries. After dinner, a traditional grappa is offered. In addition to romantic dinners, Palo offers an adult-only Champagne brunch on sea days and select port days. The brunch features Palo’s signature pizzas, made-to-order entrées, seafood, a selection of international cheeses, fresh breads and pastries, desserts, champagne and mimosas. Between Remy and Palo is Meridian lounge, where guests can enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif or an after-dinner cocktail. With décor inspired by the early days of sea travel, this adult-exclusive lounge has inside seating and an outside teak deck, ideal for watching a sunset or relaxing with a cigar from a fine assortment available at the bar. Reservations are required for all Palo dining experiences. There is an additional charge for dinner and brunch, plus the cost of alcoholic beverages. French-Inspired Remy With gourmet cuisine by two award-winning chefs and a unique approach to wine service, Remy melds classic and contemporary styles in a sophisticated new dining concept exclusively for guests age 18 and older. From the moment guests walk through the door at Remy, they are transported to a fine French dining experience. Chef Arnaud Lallement from l’Assiette Champenoise, a Michelin three-star restaurant just outside Reims, France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from award-winning Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World Resort have collaborated to create a French-inspired menu featuring superior products and seasonal ingredients sourced from around the world. Dinner at Remy is a lavish and leisurely affair. Lallement’s cuisine is simple and stylish, earning l’Assiette Champenoise three stars from Michelin – the highest possible honor. Hunnel’s innovative dishes garnered Victoria & Albert’s the coveted AAA Five Diamonds, a rating accorded a mere 0.19 percent of restaurants in North America and the Caribbean. Polished touches at Remy include a tableside trolley for serving international cheeses and decanting stations for wines. Guests may order from two tastings menus that include wine pairings, or order a la carte from the menu. With a subtle nod to the hit Disney•Pixar film “Ratatouille” and its petite French star Remy, the softly lit main dining room is designed in art nouveau style. The famous Remy character is subtly and artfully integrated into the design. Tables are elegantly set with Frette linens, Riedel glassware, Christofle silverware and Bernadaud china made exclusively for Remy, with gracious accents such as purse stools for women’s handbags. The attentive serving staff is part of the sophisticated story, dressed in long white aprons, black jackets or burgundy vests and bow ties. A private Chef’s Table dining room, Chez Gusteau (inspired by the fictional Paris restaurant in “Ratatouille”), seats eight. The intimate room is furnished with rich décor inspired by the film— bold, red carpet, chairs and drapes with touches of gold, opulent chandeliers, and scenes of Paris on the walls. Guests also may dine in the glass-walled wine room amid more than 900 bottles of wine. Once dinner is booked and guests are on board, they are invited to meet with a sommelier in Remy’s glass-walled wine room to taste and pre-select their wines for the evening. The restaurant offers two wine lists: a special French list with 200 vintages from most every region in France, and Remy’s Vault, a separate and exclusive wine list with rare wines from all over the world. Select wines from the French list also are available by the glass. From Remy’s Vault, 22 wines are selected as the best of the best, presented by white-gloved sommeliers in an elegant velvet box that opens like a book with the name of each wine engraved on a silver-plated plaque. The list includes a 1947 Château Cheval Blanc, another nod to “Ratatouille” (the wine requested by the movie’s food critic). Considered one of the best vintages in the world, a single bottle of Château Cheval Blanc retails for $25,000. After-dinner libations include Rémy Martin Louis XIII Rare Cask, one of the most sought-after cognacs for connoisseurs, aged in centuries-old casks and served from an elegant Baccarat crystal decanter, and a rare bottle of 43-year-old Camus Cuvee 4.176 Cognac, presented in an engraved Baccarat crystal decanter. The dinner experience at Remy is $125 per person, plus the cost of wine and other alcoholic beverages. Optional wine pairings selected from the French list are offered at $120. Remy offers an elegant Champagne brunch on sea days and select port days. The brunch features a decadent six-course French-inspired meal and a selection of Champagnes to perfectly pair with each dish. Brunch at Remy is $75 per person and includes one complimentary glass of Champagne. An optional Champagne pairing is offered at an additional $30 per person. Meridian Nestled between Palo and Remy is Meridian, a cozy getaway with a décor inspired by the early days of sea travel. The venue features a sextant navigational tool embedded in the floor, banquettes with buckles to resemble old steamer trunks and leather maps embossed with passport stamps from around the world adorning the walls. Enchanting Nightlife — The District Imagine a playground exclusively for adults where the sun sets over a different big city each night, champagne is sipped in chic surroundings and guests dance the night away at a dynamic nightclub designed to rival any on land or sea. On the Disney Dream, guests step into a domain that’s all their own at The District, an extraordinary adult-exclusive nighttime entertainment neighborhood that features trendy and sophisticated bars and lounges. Skyline Skyline is an ever-changing venue that celebrates some of the world’s most famous cities. Tall “windows” along one wall give guests a birds-eye view of stunning city skylines such as Paris, Rio, New York, Chicago and Hong Kong. The chic, cozy setting is “metropolitan sky bar meets luxury high-rise penthouse,” complete with a digital fireplace. Lustrous woods and metal finishes are the backdrop to the seven 65-inch LCD screens that depict different locales in panorama. Skyline’s “windows to the world” are ever-changing as the spectacular city skylines transform from day to night. Signature cocktails, inspired by the city of the day, are offered at the full-service bar designed with inlaid onyx. Pink: Wine and Champagne Bar Elegant and upscale, Pink: Wine and Champagne Bar is an intimate cocktail bar serving top-shelf wines and liquor as well as the bubbly beverage of choice … champagne. Inspired by French art nouveau style and characterized by flowing, fluid forms, the entire venue makes guests feel as though they are immersed in a bottle of France’s finest. As guests sip some of the world’s preeminent champagnes, sparkling wines and proseccos, they are enveloped in the enchanting, playful feel of the venue. Back-lit inset glass “bubbles” covering the walls create the effect of cascading, effervescent champagne. The famous pink elephants from the Disney animated classic “Dumbo” appear to dance in the bubbles. A feature wall behind the bar with dew drop-shaped glass in pink and gold gives the impression of champagne bottles bursting with bubbly. Light fixtures of sculpted glass are reminiscent of champagne flutes, bar chairs seem as if they are made from sparkling glass and designs along the bar fascia resemble the cage around the top of a champagne bottle. Pink is the ideal setting for a pre-dinner aperitif, late-night toast and all romantic moments in between. A special Taittinger Prestige Rose is the signature sparkling in Pink. Evolution The premier venue in The District and the main club for adult guests, Evolution brings a piece of big-city nightlife to the high seas. Inspired by the metamorphosis of the butterfly, the design is contemporary with an edge. Butterfly wing patterns on the walls and trails of light effects along the ceiling impart the feeling of butterflies in flight. Pulsing to the beat of the music, lights lead guests to the heart of the club—a dynamic, lighted dance floor that changes with the intensity of the music and a colorful butterfly-shaped feature light on the ceiling above. The bar is backlit and features strata of layered acrylic and glass in vibrant, translucent tones of orange, yellow, green, pink and purple. Tiered, banquette seating wraps around the perimeter of the room, providing an excellent view of the entire club, the stage and the dance floor. Evolution is the primary venue for large-scale evening events such as comedy acts, cabaret shows, themed dance parties, live musical performances and other entertainment just for adults. Pub 687 Adjacent to The District, Pub 687 is a warm and welcoming environment – a modern interpretation of a traditional pub. “687″ is a reference to the “block number” of the Disney Dream – the vessel number assigned by the shipyard and denoted on every block, every piece of steel used to build the Disney Dream. The casual setting is perfect for guests to kick back and watch live sports and major broadcast events on one of several flat screen televisions, including a large-screen TV with digital surround sound. Rich detail, wood finishes, a stamped-metal ceiling, modern furnishings and soft leather chairs comprise the stylish décor. Two banquette seating niches, each with its own LCD screen, are hideaways for small groups of four or five. Pub 687 is a location of choice for beer lovers, serving a wide range of international and domestic brews along with a full selection of fine wines and cocktails. The pub features an exclusive “687” red lager—malty and slightly sweet, made with Noble hops grown in central Europe. The pub also offers a special cocktail, The Shipbuilder, made with grappa, limoncello, pear vodka, agave nectar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. A friendly pub master serves as host and leads guests in a variety of games and activities. District Lounge District Lounge is the first entertainment venue upon entering The District. Here, guests find a stylish, relaxed atmosphere with comfortable, contoured seating and an open floor plan. The District Lounge is an ideal gathering place for guests to meet before beginning their journey into The District. Guests can unwind with their favorite cocktail from the full-service bar and enjoy live piano music and entertainment before moving further through The District. Senses Spa and Senses Fitness Senses Spa & Salon provides tranquility, pampering and relaxation in an ocean-view environment that spans more than 16,000 square feet. 21 private treatment rooms – offering a menu of luxurious spa treatments and services such as massages, body wraps and facials. Rainforest – offering the benefits of steam, heat and hydrotherapy combined with the power of aromatherapy to relax the mind and body. Specialized areas include a steam bath, steam room, tiled sauna and aromatic showers evoking everything from a waterfall to tropical rain to a refreshing mist. Guests can relish Rainforest’s calming ocean views while reclining in heated mosaic tile relaxation chairs, or lounge outside in a whirlpool hot tub on the private teak deck. Two lavish couple’s spa villas – for the ultimate indulgence, the villas feature an indoor spa treatment suite, a personal whirlpool hot tub, shower and a plush, double lounge chair. Ocean-view gym – a nearly 2,500-square-foot gym with state-of-the-art exercise equipment and complimentary group classes such as yoga, Pilates, aerobics, stretching and spinning. Senses Juice Bar – serving made-to-order juices and smoothies using fresh fruits and vegetables. Guests can replenish and refuel with a nutrient-rich beverage after a relaxing spa treatment or invigorating workout. Quiet Cove Pool District Adults can also bask in warm tropical breezes at the Quiet Cove Pool on Deck 11. Quiet Cove Pool, a multi-level pool with varying depths from a six-inch deep sunbathing pool to a four-foot plunge pool, features the ultimate “watering hole”: Cove Bar is a part of the pool. Also located in the adults-only area on Deck 11 is Cove Café. With a warm, comfortable design, Cove Café is a peaceful retreat where adults can sit back, breathe in the aroma of freshly brewing java, sip a gourmet coffee, read a magazine or book, watch the national news or use a Wi-Fi-enabled device to surf the Internet. On deck 13, Satellite Sun Deck includes a water feature called Satellite Falls, a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort. Around this upper deck, adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.

So you’re planning a Disney World trip, and you think you’ve got it all down! Cinderella Castle You might have those hotel reservations booked and the dining reservations made, and maybe you’ve even got a packing list all ready to go. But what about Disney Genie+?! The skip-the-line system is notoriously confusing with it’s plethora of rules and fluctuating prices. Thankfully, we’re here to help! Today, we’re sharing the best (and worst!) days in May 2023 to purchase Genie+. Crowded & Expensive Days Let’s start with those busy days! In May, there are a few key dates when we believe the parks will be busier than usual. For starters, we’ve got Star Wars Day on May 4th — and park passes are already starting to sell out for Disney’s Hollywood Studios on that date. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Typically, Star Wars Day comes with some special celebrations and limited-time offerings in Hollywood Studios, so it makes sense that people would want to visit then. Unfortunately, Hollywood Studios is also the park where Genie+ is in HIGH demand due to the number of heavy-hitter attractions there. Because of this, Genie+ might be more expensive on May 4th. Crowds on May 4th, 2022 The other dates where you can probably expect the parks to be more crowded are the two holiday weekends in May! The first is Mother’s Day — we’re willing to bet that quite a few mamas want trips to Disney World. Expect the crowds to be a bit heavier from May 12th-15th for that holiday. Happy Mother’s Day! But the real kicker will be Memorial Day weekend and the kickoff of summer break for many. Memorial Day usually comes with a 3-day weekend and those crowds can be WILD. Add in the fact that some schools end the year after that holiday, and you can bet the parks will be busy from May 26th through the end of the month. Crowds in Frontierland for Memorial Day 2022 As far as price goes, we can likely expect prices to be a smidge higher on May 4th and Mother’s Day weekend (probably think low $20s range), but they’ll likely hit their peak in May for Memorial Day weekend. During Presidents Day weekend in February, Genie+ was $29 per person, per day, which was the highest price we’d seen so far at the time. Since then, we saw Genie+ hit $35 during Spring Break. ©Disney So in one sense, these busier days will be the “worst” time to buy Genie+ because it will likely be more expensive. But on the other hand, it will also mean that Genie+ is more helpful in the success of your park day — as long as you make your first selection as early as possible and stay on top of the rules, it can save you some significant time. Quieter & Cheaper Days Now let’s talk about those quieter or cheaper days. Generally speaking, weekdays are calmer at Disney World than weekends, and this will be especially true with two holiday weekends ahead. May 1st-3rd, May 5th, May 8th-11th, May 16th-19th, and May 22nd-25th will all likely be quieter than the dates we mentioned above. Animal Kingdom You may want to avoid Fridays and Mondays before and after the holiday weekends, as some people will arrive early or linger a day late. Also, even though the 30th and the 31st aren’t holidays themselves, they’ll be the kick-off of the summer season. Tower of Terror During those “less busy” dates, you can expect Genie+ to be cheaper. This is often when we see prices in the $15-$20 per person range. (Which, we don’t have to tell you, is a LOT more affordable than $35 per person.) On those same dates, however, you might not have as much of a need for Genie+. ©Disney Of course, if you pay for it, you’ll always be able to use it because there are waits for rides and attractions every day. Your purchase of Genie+ just might not save you as MUCH time as it would on a holiday. And if you’re considering only getting it for part of your trip, we recommend purchasing it for Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. Genie+ tends to be a little more valuable at those two parks. Partners Statue in Magic Kingdom So there you go — the best and worst times to buy Genie+ in May, depending on whether you want to save money or get the most bang for your buck.

2023 is going by fast, and before you know it — Halloween will be here! Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney World Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party feels like it’s right around the corner — but something is a little different this year. There’s a NEW ride in Magic Kingdom! TRON Lightcycle / Run opened in Tomorrowland on April 4th, 2023, and many have been wondering how (or if!) this new ride will be operating during the Halloween party this year. During typical hours, TRON Lightcycle / Run uses both a Virtual Queue and an Individual Lightning Lane system to manage demand. But, during last year’s Halloween party, Disney did not use Genie+, so what should you expect? Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Well, we finally have our answer! TRON Lightcycle / Run will be operating and using a Virtual Queue (VQ) during the party. This means that spots will be limited, so riding this coaster during the party isn’t guaranteed. However, this does mean that visitors who do get a Virtual Queue can enjoy the other festivities while they wait for their callback time (instead of waiting for hours in line). TRON Lightcycle / Run The details about how and when to sign up for a VQ for the party have yet to be released, but we will let you know as soon as it is! Click here to learn how to sign up for a TRON Virtual Queue during normal park hours. Lots of other rides are open during the Halloween party, and some of them even have special Halloween-themed overlays! You can check out the spooky overlay at Space Mountain, talk to real pirates at Pirates of the Caribbean, and chat with ghosts in the queue of Haunted Mansion. Space Mountain You can expect shorter lines than usual for Magic Kingdom attractions during the party as well, which is a huge bonus.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning in 2023, and we have an inside look at one of the EXCLUSIVE treats that will be available to those attending the event! Halloween at Magic Kingdom | 2020 There are lots of reasons to attend the Halloween party in Disney World, including trick-or-treating, special fireworks shows, and the fan-favorite Boo To You parade. But one of our personal favorite parts of the event is all the exclusive snacks and treats that you can find in Magic Kingdom during the party. Disney hasn’t revealed all of the special treats just yet, but we got a sneak peek at one of the options at a recent media event! Disney World is currently celebrating Halfway to Halloween, with spooky treats at the parks and hotels for the occasion. Most of these treats will be available for a limited time over the next few weeks, but if your trip isn’t until this coming fall, then this exclusive treat is for you. Joffrey’s Revive We tried the White Pumpkin Secret Specialty Beverage from Joffrey’s Revive in Tomorrowland. This drink will be one of the party-exclusive treats at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this coming fall. (The party will take place on select nights from August 11th through November 1st, and tickets go on sale on May 2nd.) White Pumpkin Secret Specialty Beverage This drink is basically a white pumpkin latte. Overall, we thought this was a pretty normal fall-flavored drink, but we liked the creaminess of it. It’s definitely heavy on the cinnamon flavor, so if you’re a big fan of fall spices then we think you’ll love this! Tasty However, the drink left a kind of film in our mouths after we tried it, which was an odd sensation. It may have been just because the drink was so creamy, but that doesn’t usually happen to us with coffee drinks. The new latte If you’re going to the Halloween party this year and need a caffeine pick-me-up, this might be just the thing for you. But we’re willing to bet that there will be more fun and unique treats and drinks at the party, so this latte may be one you can skip. We’ll be watching for more announcements about the specialty treats coming to this year’s event! To check out the snacks and treats at last year’s Halloween party, click here!

Disney just shared a ton of juicy news about what we can expect from the spooky season in the parks, and we got a sneak peek at NEW costumes two of our favorite characters will be wearing! That’s right — Mickey and Minnie will have NEW Halloween costumes this year! From the photo that Disney released, it looks like these costumes will debut in Disneyland. ©Disney The new costumes have classic Halloween colors and look to be all about bats! Disney’s announcement states, “This year, they’ll don luminescent sheer fabrics that will give a ghostly glow to their festive new ensembles at Disneyland park. Be on the lookout for lots of cobwebs and details like bat bowties and spider-shaped bells!” We can’t wait to see these two in person in their new duds, and you know we’ll be at the very first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (here’s hoping the costumes come to both Disney World AND Disnseyland) — so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Disney has dropped some BIG Halloween news today, but we’ve got some more updates that you’ll want to know if you’re visiting the parks soon! Mickey pumpkin We just learned that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will return in 2023, with parties on select nights from August 11th through November 1st. Tickets go on sale on May 2nd, so set your alarms, because some nights are going to sell out quickly! However, there’s a way to celebrate the spooky season in Disney World EARLY, with a new secret menu item in Magic Kingdom! Disney is celebrating Halfway to Halloween right now, which means lots of themed snacks and treats throughout the parks. We’ve already tried a new snack at Gideon’s Bakehouse, and we know where to find the Donald Duck Candy Corn Sipper as well. So are you ready to hear about a SECRET Halloween treat in the parks? Confectionery The Halfway to Halloween celebration is themed to the Haunted Mansion this year, so head over to the Kernel Kitchen inside the Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom and whisper the phrase “Doom Buggie” to the Cast Members there in order to access the secret menu item. Making the treat This item is a Haunted Mansion popcorn mix! Popcorn Mix The popcorn mix is butter popcorn layered with Twix candies, crushed Oreos, and M&Ms, and it’s all topped with a milk chocolate drizzle. The M&Ms are black, green, and white, a color scheme that nods to the Haunted Mansion ride. Mmmmmm We tried out this mix a little bit early at a media event, and we thought it was super tasty! It’s made with ingredients that are available at the Kernel Kitchen year-round, so it’s not a super exciting or unique snack, but we liked the combination of all the different candies with the salty popcorn. We also really liked that it was served in a bowl instead of a bag (most of the popcorn mixes here are served in a bag). So much chocolate You can get this mix at the Confectionery from April 20th through May 4th.
