Traveling with children can sometimes be tricky. Kids’ meal at Restaurantosaurus That’s especially true when it comes to food because some kids do tend to be picky eaters. Not every airline and restaurant caters to kids, at least as far as food goes, but one airline is bringing back kid-friendly meals. Delta Airlines will soon be reintroducing kids’ meals on its flights, according to USA Today. The service was available before the pandemic, but was put on pause and hadn’t returned since then. But now, those meals are coming back. ©Delta “The meals are well-balanced and include a variety of fruits, vegetables, colors and texture.” Delta’s chefs put a lot of thought into the new meals, researching kids’ meals at restaurants to come up with a menu that would please kids AND their parents. Breakfast includes French toast with syrup, scrambled eggs, fruit, and a small blueberry muffin. Lunch and dinner include cheese tortellini with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese, carrots and broccoli with ranch dressing, and an assortment of fruit and graham cookies. ©Delta These meals will be available on international flights, as well as on most domestic routes for customers in First Class. Special meals should be reserved at least 24 hours in advance. Earlier this year, Delta also announced the return of its dessert cart on international flights. The cart treats include: plated desserts like opera cake with chocolate ganache, fruit and cheese plates, and a build-your-own ice cream sundae. ©Delta “Your onboard meal and beverage should be no different than your go-to restaurant at home, and that’s why we’re constantly reinventing our onboard service at Delta. We always want to surprise and delight our customers with seasonal, fresh and fun menu options,” said Kristen Manion Taylor, S.V.P. of In-Flight Service at Delta. New additions to Delta’s menu for adults include “regional touches” like traditional afternoon tea and tapas. There are also some seasonal items from popular restaurants regional restaurants. ©Delta So if you’ll be flying Delta soon, be sure to check out the new menus!

MAJOR changes are happening at Disney World hotels! BoardWalk Refurbishment work has been announced for Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Kidani Village, Narcoossee’s will reopen soon at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and even the iconic lobby at the Grand Floridian is getting some updates. At Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, many other changes are underway including changes to the rooms, lobby, and surrounding area. And now we’ve got another update. Back in mid-February, Disney announced that the Concierge Lounge would be CLOSING at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn starting March 11th, and now that closure has officially begun (as of Sunday, March 12th). This closure is set to last until the end of April but there is currently no exact end date. Closed Concierge Lounge Disney has warned that guests may be able to hear some construction in the surrounding areas during the day, but nighttime work should be limited to things that are not audible to guests in their rooms. Concierge Lounge Sign If you’re unfamiliar with concierge lounges, here’s some background! The Concierge Lounge is a perk reserved for Club Level/Concierge Level guests. It’s an added luxury for those willing to pay the higher cost of these rooms. At a concierge lounge, you can usually find nice chairs to relax in, and complimentary snacks and beverages. Generally, you’ll find a continental-style breakfast (this can be pretty substantial for those who normally eat a lighter breakfast), light snacks in the afternoon, and wine and cheese offerings, as well as desserts and cordials in the evening. And yes, some adult beverages are included too. Some of the food might even include hot samples from the resort’s restaurants. Club Level Breakfast Pastries Some of the offerings might be lighter than what you’d want for a typical meal but can still serve as a great way to fill up until your next meal and for those with smaller appetites, these snacks could replace a light meal. Plus, complimentary drinks can be an easy way to grab a bottled drink you can bring into the parks with you (rather than having to spend money on buying a drink in the park). Fridge stocked at breakfast A few different hotels have concierge lounges, including Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and others. Is a concierge-level room with access to the concierge lounge worth it? It depends! Concierge-level rooms can be substantially more expensive than a standard room. When we looked at some sample dates for June of 2023, a Garden View room for 2 at BoardWalk was $458.38 per night, while the standard room Club Level was $663.50 per night. BoardWalk If you think that the food offerings at the concierge lounge could easily replace 1-2 meals for your family per day and you’ll make full use of eating there and taking advantage of those perks, then the price could be worth it. But if you’ll really be spending every day from early morning to late night in the parks, you might not get as much use out of the benefit. It really depends on what YOU like.

You can go to Disney World EVERY day and still notice new details. Living with the Land For example, there’s almost always a new Hidden Mickey to find. Sometimes, we notice special details, like a 50th anniversary addition to the “it’s a small world” ride. We also got spooked by some hidden details in the Haunted Mansion gift shop. New details are added all the time, too, like a new one we JUST spotted in EPCOT! So you should know that we LOVE Living With The Land. It’s such a nice chill ride that’s a great way to get out of the Florida heat. PLUS it usually has shorter lines than other rides. We love taking this ride through the history of agriculture and seeing all the cool technology that Disney uses to grow flowers, plants, and EVEN FOOD right there in The Land Pavilion! We LOVE this ride So when we were riding it recently, we were surprised to find a new little detail on the ride. But you’ll have to look closely to find it. Do you see it? If not, you might want to use your IMAGINATION… . Do you see it? That’s right — Figment, our favorite little purple dragon, is now a part of Living With The Land. You can spot a small model of him, with the pyramids from the ride’s building, as well as his Imagination Rainbow. “A dream, can be, a dream come true, With just that spark from me and you.” There he is! We love being able to ride an attraction and spot something new, so the next time you find yourself on Living With The Land, look out for Figment. Then you can head over to see the life-size Figment at Journey Into Imagination with Figment. We’ll keep our eyes out for more little details like this, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more!

There are tons of drinks to choose from in Walt Disney World. Whether you’re looking for a snack and/or a thirst-quenching option, refreshments can be found in alcoholic or non-alcoholic concoctions. Beverages display Let’s take a look at our recommendations and then you can choose what best suits your palate. Magic Kingdom Adventureland Colada Served at to Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen, this drink is made of a blend of Dole Whip Pineapple with Coconut Cream and Passion Fruit. The drink is also garnished with a slice of pineapple. Adventureland Colada Overall, the drink definitely delivers on that coconut flavor! If you like piña coladas and that mix of pineapple with coconut, we have a feeling you’ll LOVE this drink. REVIEW! We’re Back at Disney World’s World-Famous Jungle Cruise…Restaurant! Dole Whip Float You just can’t go wrong with a classic, and you’ll always find just that at Magic Kingdom. The Dole Whip Float, which you can snag at Aloha Isle, combines pineapple soft serve with pineapple juice. Pineapple Dole Whip Float It’s seriously the ultimate way to cool down on a hot day in Walt Disney World. HOLD UP. Disney’s Iconic DOLE Whip Is Coming to… Grocery Stores?! Frozen Mint Julep Lemonade Are you a mint fan? We recommend the Frozen Mint Julep Lemonade from Casey’s Corner. Frozen Mint Julep Lemonade Yet another delicious, cold treat you can enjoy during a day at Magic Kingdom. Read our review of the Frozen Mint Julep here! LeFou’s Brew A featured menu item at Gaston’s Tavern, this is a sweet sip to cool off with in Fantasyland. LeFou’s Brew is a blend of no sugar added apple juice, a slight hint of marshmallow, topped with a passion fruit foam. LeFou’s Brew If Gaston had started his day with this instead of five dozen eggs, he might have been a little more pleasant. Just sayin’. Disney Food Blog Review: LeFou’s Brew at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom’s New Fantasyland Sweet Tea Slushy If you are a sweet or lemonade fan, try the Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade and Sweet Tea Slushy at Golden Oak Outpost! Sweet Tea Slushy This frozen version manages to keep the sweetness toned down without losing any flavor. Read our most recent Golden Outpost food review here! Raspberry Lemonade Slush Sweet-tart and chilly, Frozen Lemonade calls to mind seaside treats from our favorite resort towns. And there’s nothing like it for reviving you on a super hot, sticky Florida day. One of our favorites is the Raspberry Lemonade Slush that you find at Magic Kingdom’s Cheshire Cafe or at Liberty Square Market. Raspberry-Lemonade slush The secret is in the balance. A too-sweet treat can leave you feeling not so great while you’re standing in the bright sun. That little kick of sour rounds out the flavors and makes the beverage a true refresher. Best Snacks at Magic Kingdom in Disney World for 2023 EPCOT When you’re looking for a tasty beverage, look no further than EPCOT’s World Showcase, where you can drink around the world without ever leaving the park. The American Dream At Fife and Drum Tavern, the American Dream slushie is a mixture of Frozen Fanta Wild Cherry, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry Slushy. The American Dream is very refreshing and cold, while not being overwhelmingly sweet American Dream If you’re looking for something strong with blue raspberry flavor though, you may be disappointed because the big flavor here comes from the cherry and the vanilla ice cream. REVIEW: Disney Turned Our Childhood Memories Into a Treat Frozen Viking Coffee Over in the land of the Norse, there is one drink we feel is worthy of Mjolnir and that’s the Frozen Viking Coffee from Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. It’s made with Baileys Irish Cream and Kamora Coffee Liqueur with Coffee-Chocolate Sauce and garnished with Coffee-Chocolate Crunch. BOOZY frozen coffee! Yes, we like our dessert in boozy coffee form sometimes. And trust us, you will, too! Read Our Review of the Frozen Viking Coffee Grand Marnier Orange Slush Yes, we like slushies — they’re a tasty way to cool down at Disney World. And we REALLY like the Grand Marnier Orange Slush from Les Vins des Chefs de France. This one is c’est magnifique — a mixture of Grand Marnier, Rum, Grey Goose, and Orange Juice. It’s SO orange It’s basically a grown-up Creamsicle in beverage form. Read Our Review of the Grand Marnier Orange Slush Margaritas at La Cava del Tequila At this hidden spot inside the Mexican pavilion, we recommend the El Diablo Margarita has a nice amount of heat to it that we can’t HELP but love! It’s made with Tromba Blanco Tequila, Fresh Lime Juice, Agave, and Cucumber-Jalapeño Juice with a Hibiscus Salt Rim. Can you say spicy? This drink is ! El Diablo But, if you can’t take the heat, opt for the Avocado Margarita, aka the La Cava Avocado. It’s Tromba Blanco Tequila, Melon Liqueur, Fresh Avocado, Lime Juice served frozen with a Hibiscus Salt Rim. This drink is just so refreshing and creamy — trust us, it will surprise you in a good way! We love a Disney margarita! It’s no secret that we are HUGE fans of La Cava del Tequila! Read Our Review of the Avocado Margarita Planetary Punch You’ll need a reservation at Space 220 or Space 220 Lounge to taste test this beverage (or you can try this trick to get into the lounge without a reservation)! Once here, we suggest the Planetary Punch featuring Bacardi Silver, Malibu, Blue Curacao, Guava, and Coconut. If you’re looking for a kind-of a Piña Colada-type drink, then this is the one for you. It has a very tropical feel to it, plus it has a fun presentation with all kinds of bubbles coming out of it! This is due to the addition of a bit of dry ice. Planetary Punch While it was a sweeter rum drink, you can definitely taste the coconut, adding a nice layer of flavor. The double-walled glassware here was unique and fun too. Disney World Bars You Have to Rope Drop To Get a Seat Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen When it comes to beer, many might argue that no one does beer like in Germany. So it’s kinda’ hard to pick a favorite here, but even if you don’t like beer, you very well may love the Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen from Sommerfest. It’s also available at Biergarten! Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen This beer is a light, crisp, and refreshing drink with a nice hint of grapefruit flavor. But you DO need to like grapefruit to appreciate it, so keep that in mind. Read Our Review of the Schöfferhofer Pink Grapefruit Hefeweizen Tipsy Ducks in Love What’s not to love about a drink called Tipsy Ducks in Love? The name alone has us wanting to drink it. You can find this delicious beverage at the Joy of Tea. It’s a coffee drink made with Bourbon, Black Tea, Coffee, Cream, and Chocolate (although you can get it without the bourbon, too). Tipsy Ducks in Love Even with the bourbon, though, this is a nice, smooth, and refreshing drink. It’s also super creamy and delicious. We think you’ll love it! Read our Review of the Tipsy Ducks In Love Disney’s Hollywood Studios Baseline Select Margarita Time to stop by BaseLine Tap House for the BaseLine Select Margarita features Patrón Añejo Tequila, Cointreau, sweet-and-sour, and lime juice. You can absolutely taste and appreciate the use of the better tequila. BaseLine Select Margarita Overall, the BaseLine Select Margarita is smooth, with a nice barrel flavor presenting a slight smokiness. It’s simply delicious. Review: A BaseLine Tap House Margarita Just Got a Serious Upgrade in Hollywood Studios! Cold Brew Black Caf Visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World to try out the Cold Brew Black Caf. This is a Joffrey’s Cold Brew topped with Sweet Cream Cheese and Chocolate Puffs! Cold Brew Black Caf If you mix it up, though, it’s perfectly balanced from the beginning of each sip to the last. You’ll find this out-of-this-world creation at Kat Saka’s Kettle. PHOTOS: We Got the SECRET Popcorn Mix in Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge! Fuzzy Tauntaun Oga’s Cantina is an ultra-themed bar known for serving up unique cocktails like the Fuzzy Tauntaun. This drink is made with Cîroc Peach Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps, Orange Juice with Tangerine, Pure Cane Sugar, and “Buzz Button Tingling” Foam. Cheers! That Buzz Button foam is the real kicker — it will make your mouth go numb when drinking it! The Fuzzy Tauntaun Drink is BACK in Disney World With Some Changes Grapefruit Cake Martini If you want to drink your dessert, before or after your meal at the Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant. The Grapefruit Cake Martini will do the trick — assuming you’re a grapefruit fan. This drink is modeled on the restaurant’s signature dessert: Grapefruit Cake, of course! Make Grapefruit Cake at home! PB&J Milkshake Sometimes it takes a blast from the past to get a blast of frosty refreshment, and you can do that at 50’s Prime Time Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Blended with vanilla ice cream are actual peanut butter and a hint of grape jelly, giving this creamy ice cream drink a taste of real nostalgia. YUM Try it! You’ll get mostly a taste of peanut butter in this with the ever so slight sweet taste from the jelly. It’s one of our all time favorite drinks in Disney World so just trust us on this one — it’s GOOD. Disney Food Blog Review: Lunch at 50s Prime Time Cafe in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios! Seasonal “over the top” Shake You’ll find Hollywood Scoops in the Sunset Ranch Market on Sunset Boulevard. The menu features sundaes, ice cream cups or cones, and some surprisingly over-the-top seasonal shakes. Key lime shake from Hollywood Scoops Keep an eye on the menu for these amazing milkshakes! See all of the dining options at Disney’s Hollywood Studios HERE! Animal Kingdom African Margarita The African Margarita at Dawa Bar deviates from a traditional margarita thanks to the addition of Van der Hum —a tangerine liqueur from South Africa. African Margarita That hint of tangerine citrus brightens up an already lime-heavy drink. Disney Food Blog Review: New and Old Favorites at the Dawa Bar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Khumbu Icefall The trek over to Asia, or the wobbly-legged walk back after seeing a Yeti, is the best time to try this next frozen favorite at the Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks. The Khumbu Icefall brings the fruity freshness of raspberry and coconut puree together with Cruzan Guava Rum. Raspberries on the Khumbu Icefall This is a seriously refreshing drink that has SO much fruity flavor. It will give you just the courage — and the cooldown — to continue on to your Everest ascent. BRAIN FREEZE ALERT! Our FAVORITE Frozen Drinks Around Disney World! Night Blossom Journey to Pandora – the World of AVATAR, and sidle over to an unassuming little stop for sips and snacks, Pongu Pongu. It’s here you’ll find our next favorite frozen drink, the Night Blossom . Colorfully crafted with limeade, apple, and desert pear flavors, the drink is topped off with passion fruit boba balls. Hello, Night Blossom! And even though this is non-alcoholic, you can ask them to spike it to make it a Rum Blossom! Check Out the Newest Spiked Slushy: The Rum Blossom! POG/Jungle Juice POG (or passion fruit, orange, and guava) is a juice blend that originated in Hawaii and is served in various places around Disney World. We usually find POG Juice (sometimes also referred to as Jungle Juice or potentially by other names) in places like Dawa Bar and Tusker House Restaurant in Animal Kingdom. We used to LOVE POG juice – straight up! Jungle Juice! Now that the supplier has changed, we think it’s way too sweet! But it still tastes delicious when combined with alcohol. So, there’s that! POG Juice is BACK With a NEW Supplier in Disney World (And We Have Some THOUGHTS) Yak Attack We’ve always been fond of Yak and Yeti Restaurant and Anandapur Local Food Cafes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Aside from having a cool name, Yak Attack is made with Mango Daiquiri, Don Q Cristal, and Rum and Wildberry Flavors. It sounds like a taste of summer, doesn’t it? Yak Attack We’re going to say it’s a very berry-forward flavored drink, although you can still taste the rum. Review: Yak Attack at Quality Beverages in Disney’s Animal Kingdom | the disney food blog Disney Springs Build Your Own Shake Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs is home to a lot of sweet treats. And you can even build your own shake! Choose any two flavors spun with milk and topped with whipped cream! Mint Cookies and Cream Shake from Vivoli il Gelato!

If you love Dole Whip, try the Frozcato. Just like a Dole Whip! This super fruity beverage is even more tart than a regular pineapple soft-serve Dole Whip, and it’s really good! 5 Dole Whip Creations You Didn’t Realize You Could Buy in Disney Springs! Milkshakes You gotta respect the D-Luxe Burger menu where the choices of Artisanal Gelato Shakes outnumber the entrees and sides altogether! It sinks down pretty quickly This is a vacation splurge, but you really can taste the difference with the choice of gelato over ice cream. It is unbelievably thick and creamy. Cheapest Places To Eat in Disney Springs in 2023 Seasonal Cold Brew Okay, so their coffee is consistently good. Keep an eye out for monthly and seasonal Cold Brew beverages at Gideon’s Bakehouse.

Cranberry Chardonnay Wine Slush While serious wine lovers may have a hard time really tasting the wine (they aren’t particularly winey at all, actually), the sweetness and flavor of the fruits really come through. DFB Video: Ranking EVERY SINGLE Restaurant in Disney World’s BEST “Park” Resorts French Rose This beautiful beverage is available at at Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Riviera. The French Rose is a refreshing cocktail featuring Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka, Combier Creme de Pamplemousse Rose Liqueur, Raspberry, Agave, Lemon and Soda Water. French Rose is the epitome of fancy, don’t you think? This one is very light and dangerously easy to drink. FULL Review and PHOTOS: Topolino’s Terrace Dinner at Disney World’s Riviera Resort Kenyan Press Pot Coffee The restaurants of Animal Kingdom Lodge also offer press pots, but here, you’ll find a gourmet blend of Kenya Coffee prepared fresh to order. If you love coffee, we highly recommend splurging here. Coffee at Animal Kingdom Lodge We’ve seen the option on menus at all of the Lodge’s restaurants — Sanaa, Jiko, and Boma. Best Places for Pressed Pot Coffee in Walt Disney World Lapu Lapu What could be better than listening to Polynesian music while sipping a fruity tropical drink out of a pineapple? Doing it at the Tambu Lounge at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The Lapu Lapu, served in a whole pineapple, is a treat right off the beach in Hawaii, with dark rum and tropical fruit. You can almost feel the beach breeze. Lapu Lapu Even more tastes of the tropics can be found in the Hawaiian Mule or the Polynesian Mai Tai. A NEW $32 POG Juice and Souvenir Cup Combo Is Available in Disney World! Lime Dole Whip Margarita The Dole Whip Lime Margarita can be found at the Barefoot Pool Bar and at the Oasis Bar and Grill. This is such a fun twist on BOTH the classic margarita AND Dole Whip treats! It’s a great choice for frozen drink fans.

If you’ve spent a lot of time in Downtown Disney or Disney Springs (the huge shopping and dining districts in Disneyland and Disney World, respectively) you’ve probably been to the Earl of Sandwich restaurant. Earl of Sandwich This spot has counter service dining locations at both parks, but now a NEW location has opened up at Downtown Disney that serves customers table service style! And the weird thing? There’s a LOT more than sandwiches on the menu. Come with us to try out this new spot! You’ll find the new Earl of Sandwich Tavern in Downtown Disney right next to the counter service Earl of Sandwich location (close to the huge World of Disney gift shop). The counter service spot is on the left in this photo, and the Tavern is on the right. Earl of Sandwich While the counter service spot focuses on mostly sandwiches, the Tavern has a wider variety of dishes, including burgers, fish tacos, and more. Not really what you’d expect from a restaurant called Earl of Sandwich! Earl of Sandwich Tavern Let’s head inside! Atmosphere You can choose to sit inside or outdoors at the Earl of Sandwich Tavern. There’s a bar inside, with several barstools and full-service menus. Bar Seating The shelves are well-stocked here, so you can drop by for a drink or order a meal to go with it! The Bar There’s plenty of seating outside as well. Earl of Sandwich Tavern Most of the tables have four chairs, but they could be pushed together to accommodate larger parties. Outdoor Seating The chairs are made of a wicker material. Each table has menus, silverware and napkins, and condiments. Seating The tables are placed inside a patio that’s surrounded by a short fence and hedges so that it’s a little bit separated from the surrounding walkways in Downtown Disney. Earl of Sandwich Tavern Ready to check out the menu? Menu The menu is posted outside so that you can check out the eats before you head in. The menu! Let’s take a closer look! Menu There are starters like chicken wings, a quesadilla, and garlic bread. Menu You could grab a light meal with a soup or salad, which includes options like Tomato Basil Bisque, Clam Chowder, a Caesar Salad, or a Hollywood Bowl. Menu Earl of Sandwich is famous for its fantastic sandwiches (of course), but there aren’t many of them on the menu. In fact, you can only choose between four sandwiches — the B.E.L.T. Sandwich, Turkey Club, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, or Chimichurri Steak Sandwich. There are also a couple of burgers. Menu Entrée options include salmon, pasta, prime rib, chicken, fish tacos, or fish and chips. Menu There are some fairly standard sides (like fries, mashed potatoes, and a fruit cup) along with a few options on the kids’ menu. Dessert options include White Chocolate Bread Pudding, Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake, and New York Style Cheesecake. Menu The drink menu is pretty normal. There are tea, soda, and various coffee options on the menu. Remember that you can also stop by the bar inside if you want to check out more drink choices. Menu Let’s try some food now! Eats First up, we tried the Mac-n-Cheese Burger, which is an 8 oz. patty, six cheese mac-n-cheese, cheddar, crispy onion straws, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and special sauce on a brioche bun. It costs $24. Burger Time! It comes with french fries or a fruit cup, and you can add a cup of soup for $5. Yum This burger was cheesy and just about perfect! The mac and cheese was warm, gooey, and rich. The pickles lettuce and tomatoes all tasted fresh and added a refreshing crunch. Mac-n-Cheese Burger The patty was juicy and full of flavor, and the brioche was nice and soft. The cheddar had a bit of that sharp cheddar taste that went well with the rest of the mac and cheese. Gotta Love Those We liked the crispy onions as well, which added some good flavor and a bit of a crunch. A Peek Inside Next, we tried the Fish Tacos, which are made with mahi-mahi, pickled onion, creamy slaw, chipotle salsa, and cilantro for $27. The dish comes with three tacos. Fish Tacos Everything here combined to make such a yummy taco! The mahi-mahi had a mild fishy taste and seemed to be recently caught, based on the taste. The chipotle salsa brought in a nice spice but was also somewhat refreshing at the same time. What Do You Think? The creamy slaw had hints of vinegar and added a little crunch to the taco. These all combined for a fresh fish taco with a little bit of kick to it. Our reporter said it was one of the best fish theme park dishes they’ve had. Fish Tacos Our tacos came with a side of beans and cilantro rice. While we really enjoyed the tacos, we think that the price was pretty steep for the portion. At $27, that’s $9 per taco, and they’re fairly small. Sides For dessert, we had the White Chocolate Bread Pudding for $12, which is warm white chocolate bread pudding served with vanilla ice cream and a sweet whiskey sauce. White Chocolate Bread Pudding The bread pudding was warm, soft, and sweet! The sweet whiskey sauce added a little cinnamon-y sweetness. Another Peek The vanilla ice cream had a rich and sweet vanilla bean flavor. All of these components are combined for a sweet vanilla dessert that melts in your mouth. Bread Pudding If you’re a fan of traditional bread pudding, we think you’ll enjoy this dessert! Nosh or Not Head on into the Tavern if you… Want to choose from a wide variety of menu options. There’s a lot more than sandwiches on the menu at this Earl of Sandwich spot, from fish tacos to prime rib, mac-and-cheese burgers to caesar salad. Like the sound of a Mac-n-Cheese Burger. That burger was seriously amazing, and it’s pretty much enough of a reason in itself to visit the Tavern! Are looking for a good, simple meal in Downtown Disney. The menu is mostly pretty basic, but everything we ate here was good! Skip this spot if you… Love Earl of Sandwich for the sandwiches. There are only four sandwiches on the menu here, which is nothing compared to the selection offered at the counter service location. Want to try unique, adventurous eats. There’s a good variety on the menu, but it’s all pretty basic. For more adventurous eats, you should try Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen for tasty Louisiana-inspired eats or Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes for some unique burgers. Want a quick meal to grab and go. You’ll want to try a counter service spot for a faster meal, like the fast food version of Earl of Sandwich or Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Overall So should you head to Earl of Sandwich Tavern? Honestly, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re a big fan of the counter-service Earl of Sandwich spot like us, you might see the menu at the Tavern and wonder WHERE did all the sandwiches go? There are a lot more choices when it comes to sandwiches over on the fast food side. Earl of Sandwich Tavern That being said, we really enjoyed our meal here! So if you’re looking for more variety or if your group can’t decide on one type of food, then the diverse menu at the Tavern might be just right, and the food is definitely pretty good.

Character dining is a favorite activity for many Disney World visitors! Aurora at Cinderella’s Royal Table We’ve recently seen the princesses return to Cinderella’s Royal Table, and the buffet return to Chef Mickey’s. And now, another Disney World character meal is changing! Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Minnie Mouse hosts seasonal dining parties at Hollywood & Vine.

Do you love McDonald’s as much as we do? Black Panther Happy meal We get it — sometimes you just get a craving for some chicken nuggets or need to have some of those fries (seriously, we love those fries). Maybe you want to grab a Disney-themed Happy Meal. McDonald’s is constantly releasing new things, too (like Krispy Kreme donuts!), and now, there are two NEW sandwiches to try there! TWO! McDonald’s is bringing two NEW Crispy Chicken Sandwiches, aka the McCrispy, to menus soon! On March 13th, you’ll be able to order a Bacon Ranch McCrispy and Bacon Ranch Deluxe McCrispy. ©McDonald’s Both sandwiches feature the McCrispy chicken filet topped with applewood smoked bacon with creamy ranch and served on a toasted potato roll. The Bacon Ranch McCrispy has pickles, while the Bacon Ranch Deluxe McCrispy has tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Don’t forget the fries! There IS a catch with these two sandwiches, though — they’re only going to be available at participating McDonald’s locations for a limited time, so you’ll need to get them quickly! So be sure to check with your favorite McDonald’s location to see if it’s there! McDonald’s Also, don’t forget that the Shamrock Shake is back for a limited time — gotta’ have that St. Patrick’s Day special, too, right?

Since Disney World introduced variable pricing for Genie+, it’s been difficult to predict just how much the service might cost from day to day. Expedition Everest Lightning Lane The more people in the park, the higher Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lines are priced. With many states around the US gearing up for spring break, chances are we’re only going to see Genie+ prices rise and maybe even sell out altogether. Let’s check out the latest Genie+ updates from Disney World this week. Spring has sprung and brought some pretty gorgeous weather to Disney World — meaning the summer sun hasn’t become too sweltering yet! But, the nice weather has brought something else to the parks — crowds. We’re not talking full-blown spring break levels just yet, but throughout this week we saw more and more signs that it’s only a matter of time. Hollywood Studios crowds On Monday, March 6th, Genie+ was priced at $20 per person per day. Booking an Individual Lightning Lane for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was $11, Cosmic Rewind was $15, Rise of the Resistance was $20, and Flight of Passage was $14. Rise of the Resistance Prices went down a bit on Tuesday, March 7th, when Genie+ was $18 per ticket. Each Individual Lightning Lane price went down by $1. By around 11AM, the return time for Jungle Cruise was at 6:25PM, Expedition Everest was at 6PM, and the return times for both Rise of the Resistance and Seven Dwarfs were after 8PM. Jungle Cruise By March 8th, Genie+ went back up to $20 per ticket, and the same was true for the Individual Lightning Lane rides as well. Park pass availability was wide open this day, so we didn’t see too many heavy crowds, but more than the day before. Disney Genie+ allows you to book the Lightning Lane for rides. When Thursday, March 9th rolled around, we saw prices go up yet again to $22 per ticket per day. As far as Individual Lightning Lane prices go, they all stayed the same aside from Rise which increased to $22 per person. Expedition Everest Lightning Lane Since we’re gearing up for an exciting and BUSY summer around Disney World, we can only imagine that these prices might continue to go up. Disney World recently saw Genie+ sell out for the first time, and then it happened again the following day. We’ve also seen record-high prices at $29 per day during busy times, and on March 12th, Genie+ hit that price point again. Lightning Lane at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train If you’re getting ready to head to Disney World, make sure you’ve already secured your park pass reservations, and if you need help choosing which rides to book first with Genie+, check out our link below.

Spring Break season has officially kicked off. Cinderella Castle That means we’re starting to see crowds in Disney World. That means guests visiting Disney World over this period will have a more difficult time making advance dining reservations, park pass reservations, and more. That also means that Genie+ is going to cost more due to demand. Spring Break crowds also mean longer lines for rides, so Genie+ could be a huge timesaver if you’re visiting the parks soon. However, Genie+ is going to cost a bit more. On March 7th, Genie+ was just $17. However, yesterday, March 11th, Genie+ was $25. Today, though, Genie+ is back up to $29 per person. ©Disney That means Disney expects demand to be greater for the feature. If you’re visiting Disney World, you will also want to make sure you grab Genie+ as early as possible before it sells out for the day if having that feature is a priority for you and your party. Even though it could be pricey, it could be something to consider purchasing if you don’t want to spend your entire time at Disney World in lines. Spaceship Earth Lightning Lane However, you’ll also need to realize that Genie+ doesn’t include EVERY ride in Disney World. Some premium rides will actually cost an additional amount per person to access the Lightning Lane for them. Those prices are also at their highest today: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Magic Kingdom is $12, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT is $17, Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is $25, and Flight of Passage is $16. Disney Genie+ If you are on a budget, your best bet is to prioritize those rides you MUST ride and decide if Genie+ will help you save time. You could skip Genie+ and just use the Individual Lightning Lane option to ride the premium rides and then focus the rest of your time on rides with less demand. A little planning can go a long way in helping you save time and money. We’ll continue to monitor the price of Genie+ over Spring Break and keep you updated, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Quite a few things have CHANGED in Disney World in 2023. Magic Kingdom We’ve seen old rides close while new ones open, the addition of more dining offerings, and the return of character offerings that were unavailable during the pandemic. But now, we’ve got another big change on the horizon — the closure of a classic Disney restaurant! What’s Going On With Trail’s End? If you’ve ever visited Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, then you probably know about Trail’s End Restaurant. The table service spot has served homestyle food for ages, offering a buffet before the pandemic, but then switching to family-style feasts upon reopening. Trail’s End Restaurant In January 2023, Disney announced that Trail’s End would be closing for a refurbishment in the spring and that it would transform into a new dining experience. When it reopens, it will be “a marketplace concept with expanded quick service options.” Breakfast at Trail’s End in 2021 At the time of publishing, Trail’s End doesn’t show hours past April 16th. Disney hasn’t confirmed a closing date, but this fits with the spring timeline. Trail’s End will reopen “later this year” so it’s likely that it will be closed for late spring and possibly summer vacations. If you want to check it out in its current form, make your reservations soon! Where to Eat Instead So if Trail’s End is closing, where else can you go for a similar experience? Well, we have a few recommendations that you might be interested in! At the Same Resort If you want to stay at Fort Wilderness, the other table service option is the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. This fan-favorite dinner show serves up barbecue including fried chicken, smoked BBQ pork ribs, seasonal vegetables, and salad, as well as some yummy sides and a delicious strawberry shortcake. Hoop-Dee-Doo It’s on the pricier end of the table service options at Disney World since it’s dinner with a show, but it’s truly a hootin’ and hollerin’ good time. Also, since it’s a show, there are only a select number of showtimes each evening. Options Next Door If you’re willing to venture outside of Fort Wilderness, you could go next door to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. There are multiple table service options at this hotel, from the rowdy and entertaining Whispering Canyon to a character meal with Snow White at Artist Point! Whispering Canyon Cafe If you’re interested in some small plates and drinks, you could head to one of two lounges — there’s Territory Lounge in the main building and Geyser Point down by the water. Both have some delicious options on the menu! Geyser Point Bar & Grill There’s typically a bus that runs between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge, so it’s not too much of a hassle to get over there, even on your resort day! For Homestyle Food Finally, we’ve got a few options to mention if you want some homestyle food and are willing to traverse Disney property! One of our favorites is Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ at Disney Springs, where you’ll find some delicious fried chicken, a moonshine bar, and plenty of comfort food. Homecomin’ Garden Grill at EPCOT also serves fresh homestyle cooking, including items on the menu that are made from ingredients grown in the greenhouses at The Land Pavilion. The meal is served family-style like Trail’s End currently is, but you get the added bonus of a character meal with Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale! Mickey Mouse at Garden Grill Last but not least, there’s a new option coming to Disney World that you might be interested in! Roundup Rodeo BBQ opens at Hollywood Studios on March 23rd, and will feature barbecue and foods you would find at a picnic on the family-style menu. A preview of the Roundup Rodeo BBQ menu ©Disney So there you go — plenty of places to eat while Trail’s End is closed. Maybe you’ll find a new favorite spot!

Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.

We’ll be watching for more updates on the reopening timeline. Click here to learn all about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. The Tomorrowland Light & Power gift shop is still closed for refurbishments, and Disney hasn’t announced when it’ll reopen. For now, it’s scheduled to be closed for all of next week. Is it almost complete? The Light & Power gift shop disappears from Disney’s refurbishment calendar on May 1st, so it’s possible that the store will reopen on that date. In the meantime, guests who visit Space Mountain are being directed to exit the ride a different way. A close up Recently we spotted a new clock and mural added to the front of this shop. The mural depicts Tomorrowland, with Space Mountain on the righthand side. Will we see TRON on the mural once the rest of the covering is taken down? We’ll have to wait and see! BEWARE of this Magic Kingdom DELAY. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster The popular Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed on February 21st for a long refurbishment. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster entrance So far Disney hasn’t announced specifically when it will reopen, but we know it’ll be sometime in the summer of 2023. Voyage of the Little Mermaid This Little Mermaid-themed stage show has been closed in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a long time now. Voyage of the Little Mermaid Disney hasn’t announced when or if the Voyage of the Little Mermaid will reopen. Find out what caused crowds to SWARM Hollywood Studios! EPCOT Cool Wash Cool Wash temporarily had a new sign that re-named the spot “Refreshment Kiosk,” but that sign was later removed. However, it looks like the sign is back now! The snack kiosk is still closed and blocked off by several plants. Refreshment Station Disney hasn’t announced when Cool Wash (sorry, Refreshment Station) will reopen, but we’ll watch for any changes. Learn the secret to getting a FREE upgrade in EPCOT.

Disney is full of fun nighttime shows. Harmonious in EPCOT Currently, we have Harmonious at EPCOT, Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom, and Fantasmic! at Hollywood Studios. Soon we’ll even get to see the return of Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever for a limited time! But one popular nighttime show is about to be GONE. Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the Tree of Life Nighttime Awakenings show begins after dark, when you’ll see a dazzling display lighting up the trunk, branches, and leaves of the Tree of Life. Throughout the show, hummingbirds, a fox, and a young doe, among other animals appear on the tree in a wintry forest. The projections were even updated recently to incorporate the new Avatar sequel. Tree of Life Awakenings However, as of Sunday, March 12th, no times are available for the foreseeable future on Disney’s website. ©Disney While Disney has not shared specifically why this will no longer be available, tomorrow is the start of Daylight Savings Time, where clocks are moved forward an hour for most of the United States. Since this show starts after sunset, and Animal Kingdom closes earlier than the other parks on most days, it makes sense that there wouldn’t be shows available now that it will be lighter “later.” It’s still unclear if this will return at some point, but we will keep our eyes open for any new developments.

It’s spring break season and there is a lot happening at Disney World! Crowds The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, there are new treats to try, the 50th anniversary is ending soon, and TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening in less than a month! So with all of this excitement and the spring break crowds heading to the parks, what do the wait times look like right now? Even though the wait times are not too bad across Disney World, there are some times when you still could benefit from purchasing Genie+. Crowds at TTC Genie+ is Disney’s skip-the-line system that allows you to book a time to use the Lightning Lane for an expedited wait time. This can be a huge time-saver in parks like Hollywood Studios where most rides have long wait times throughout the day. The price of Genie+ depends on the day since Disney introduced flexible pricing earlier this year, however, we’ve seen the price fluctuate between $15 and $29 per person per day. Disney Genie+ allows you to book the Lightning Lane for rides. Without further ado, let’s look at those wait times! Magic Kingdom Starting over in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 66 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 68 minutes, so the time stayed pretty steady since then. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 59 minutes, Jungle Cruise averaged 45 minutes, and Space Mountain averaged 39 minutes. After that, average wait times had Haunted Mansion at 37 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Pirates of the Caribbean at 28 minutes, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 27 minutes, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Astro Orbiter at 26 minutes. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin After that, Enchanted Tales with Belle averaged 22 minutes, “it’s a small world” averaged 20 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid averaged 18 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 16 minutes, The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini averaged 15 minutes, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Mickey’s PhilharMagic averaged 14 minutes. You get to meet Belle after! Next, Tomorrowland Speedway and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover averaged 12 minutes, Mad Tea Party averaged 9 minutes, and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel averaged 11 minutes. The Enchanted Tiki Room, Carousel of Progress, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, and the Liberty Square Riverboat all averaged 5 minutes. Prince Charming Carrousel The Hall of Presidents, Country Bear Jamboree, and Tom Sawyer Island averaged no wait. IMPORTANT UPDATE About TRON Lightcycle / Run Virtual Queue in Magic Kingdom EPCOT Heading over to EPCOT, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is back in the top spot and has the longest average wait time in the park with 67 minutes — this is a slight increase compared to last week’s average of 61 minutes. Frozen Ever After is right behind with an average wait time of 62 minutes. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Next up is Test Track at 51 minutes, Soarin’ at 32 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 18 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 13 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 11 minutes. Mission: SPACE Then, there is the Gran Fiesta Tour and The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 9 minutes, and Living with the Land and Journey into Imagination at 7 minutes. The Seas with Nemo and Friends Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China had no wait times this week. MORE EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Merchandise Is Now Online! Hollywood Studios Now it’s time to talk about Hollywood Studios where Rise of the Resistance took the top spot for the highest wait time in the park with 71 minutes. Just last week, the average wait time was 80 minutes, so this is a pretty good decrease! Slinky Dog Dash is the second-highest average wait time with 69 minutes this week. Rise of the Resistance Other wait times in the park include Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 48 minutes, Toy Story Mania at 45 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 44 minutes, and Tower of Terror at 42 minutes. Toy Story Mania queue After that, Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 26 minutes, Walt Disney Presents averaged 17 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy averaged 12 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue averaged 11 minutes, and Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 10 minutes. What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: You Can Meet The Mandalorian AND GROGU Now! Animal Kingdom And last but not least, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom! Avatar Flight of Passage had the longest average wait time this park this week with 67 minutes. This means the time went down significantly from last week’s 79-minute average. Tree of Life Following that, Na’vi River Journey at 50 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 36 minutes, Expedition Everest at 20 minutes, and DINOSAUR at 15 minutes. Na’vi River Journey It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 10 minutes and Triceratop Spin averaged 8 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time. Kali River Rapids closed for refurbishment on January 9th. You’re Walking Right Past the BEST Pizza in Animal Kingdom Despite this being one of the typical busy seasons at Disney World, wait times actually dropped at most of the major rides this week! Genie+ may still be a good idea (because although they haven’t increased, they aren’t exactly SHORT wait times), but that is up to you and your group’s needs. If you want to get on a bunch of rides, you’ll probably want to budget for the skip-the-line service. EPCOT Stay tuned to DFB for more updates from Disney World!

The Mandalorian is undoubtedly one of the most popular shows on Disney+. THEY’RE HERE! And there’s no shortage of things for fans to get excited about right now. From the Mandalorian-mania character interaction in Hollywood Studios that arrived this month to the new 3rd season that premiered on Disney+ that same day — Disney had been continuing to stoke our fandom. But will we ever get a Mandalorian ride to look forward to in the parks? Apparently, creator Jon Favreau has some thoughts! In an interview with IMDB, Favreau was asked what he thought The Mandalorian ride at the Disney Parks would be like— and he delivered! “I’d probably do something that’s very immersive. I’d probably do something with haptics worked in. I’d probably use assets that we use in the Volume,” Favreau told the interviewer. He also shared that he’d want it to be educational — “but not like a museum reading a plaque.” Instead, he talked about how when he was a kid he always liked when they “pulled the curtain back on the effects of the movies,” so he thinks it should be educational like “sit in here, feel this, and here’s how we did it.” ©IMDB That sounds like a lot of fun to us! While this is just a what-if scenario, we think this would be a great addition to Galaxy’s Edge. We’ll keep an eye out to see if anything comes of this, so stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!
