This is a souvenir that might be hard to miss! Discovery Trading Company Would you ever think to buy one of these in the Walt Disney World parks? Sometimes you never know what kinds of things you’ll run into in the Disney parks merchandise shops. Disney has been releasing quite a bit of 100th celebration merchandise, and part of that is the Disney Eras collection. ©Disney On a recent visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom park, we spotted something that caught our attention. We certainly didn’t have a “Mickey-shaped magnifying glass” on our bingo cards going into 2023, and yet it’s available now at Disney World. Mickey Magnifying Glass While probably not exactly the ideal souvenir you thought you’d bring back from your Walt Disney World vacation, it’s an interesting find. We’re curious just how many of you would want to purchase something like this! It could make a unique piece of home decor, or maybe you could use it to read tiny books or make interesting scientific discoveries (that’s what magnifying glasses are for, right? Is it super obvious that we don’t own one ourselves?). It appears Disney is throwing it way back with this inventive collection, and we’re left with questions about what else will be released. So far we’ve seen a typewriter, a lamp in the shape of the Earful tower that was once at MGM back in the day, and even a small animation desk! Post-Its Holder If you’re looking to find the Magnifying Glass and pick it up for yourself, we spotted this one for $34.99 at the Discovery Trading Company gift shop. A quick check of shopDisney doesn’t show it’s available online, but we’ll be keeping watch for when it’s available there. For the latest in Disney park news, stay tuned with us at DFB!

The battle for control over Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District has seemingly come to an end, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the ripple effects. Cinderella Castle And now, in the wake of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ announcement naming the district’s new board members, one Disney executive has shared some insight. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has named his appointees for the new Reedy Creek Improvement District — now called the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. This is a new responsibility the governor created after signing a bill into law that significantly changes key aspects of how the district operates. Reedy Creek Sign in Disney World Some have pointed out that DeSantis has named “politically connected Republican allies” to the board (The Orlando Sentinel) and now, a Disney executive has shared his thoughts. via Twitter In an interview with the Orlando Business Journal, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro didn’t discuss politics in too much depth, but is sticking with things that are in his control — which doesn’t include “how state leaders feel about the company.” “We will stay focused on what we have always done. Look at how we run our business. Look at the investments we are making in our business. As long as I can keep providing that, take care of our cast members, the Central Florida community [and] take care of these guests … I’m in good shape. I can only control what I can control,” said D’Amaro. It’s Josh D’Amaro! While declining to really discuss the Reedy Creek debacle, D’Amaro shared that he wants to focus on making sure the Disney parks and Cast Members are in good hands, which includes the new district board’s hands. Josh D’Amaro, Head of Disney Parks and Resorts D’Amaro stated, “The reality is we work with different people around the world at our different theme parks. So we know how to work with different people. For all those reasons, I have to look at the situation of where we are going — I believe in where we are going — and I hope the board sees the same.” It’s most likely that D’Amaro is referencing Disney parks in operation around the globe and having to be well-versed in international relations to do so. EPCOT “If that new board understands the value that gets created here and how it positively impacts the Central Florida community, I think they will be aligned with our vision and will carry on the Reedy Creek soul that’s been in place,” he shared. “Will there be noise on the outside? Will there be different points of view that we may not like? Sure,” said D’Amaro, also noting that Disney World “still embraces the differences in the world and welcomes all kinds of visitors, regardless of their political backgrounds or other beliefs.” He continued, “I really believe that, so we are not going to get distracted.” ©Josh D’Amaro The new board is set to hold its first meeting on March 8th, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for updates — so stay tuned.

Animal Kingdom‘s DinoLand U.S.A. is a beloved part of the park and has a lot of history and trivia surrounding its creation. DinoLand U.S.A. The concept behind DinoLand U.S.A. is that it started as a “highway town” where dinosaur bones were found by amateur fossil hunters. There are plenty of hidden Easter eggs and fun facts about this land, and you might already know about some of them — but we bet you didn’t know THIS trivia! Before we get to the trivia, you might need a little background info. The land itself has so many little nods to its backstory, including the duo of Chester and Hester. DinoLand Chester and Hester were locals that converted their gas station into a souvenir shop, turning their parking lot into “Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama,” which features the TriceraTop Spin ride, various carnival games, and what they deemed as their own version of DINOSAUR (Primeval Whirl — which is actually now extinct). DinoLand, U.S.A. Throughout DinoLand U.S.A. you’ll hear a radio anchor commentating in between the songs that play in the land. But, where exactly is the radio station located in DinoLand? Do you know the answer? Restaurantosaurus The station anchor states that they’re “coming to you live from the teeny tiny attic of Restaurantosaurus!” This makes perfect sense because the backstory of Restaurantosaurus is that it’s supposed to be run by the grad students who work at the Dino Institute. These grad students definitely made their own fun by starting this radio station and playing the day’s hits. Restaurantosaurus Restaurantosaurus is no stranger to theming, and lots of the decorations inside make it look like it is lived in by college-aged students.

If you’re a Disney World fan, chances are you’re well aware of how important April 4th is in Magic Kingdom. TRON! After YEARS of construction (that was halted by the pandemic), TRON Lightcycle / Run is officially opening to guests! We’ve been keeping an eye on park pass availability for TRON’s opening day, and now we have another update. TRON Lightcycle / Run is Magic Kingdom’s newest thrill ride, and we’ve been waiting for its opening day for years! Now that it’s finally almost here, we’ve been keeping up with park pass availability for April 4th — and it’s been quite the whirlwind. TRON We’ve seen passes sell out for Annual Passholders and then become available once again, while select APs are blocked out on that date altogether. As of now, there are park passes available for Incredi-Pass and Sorcerer Passholders on April 4th, but that could change very quickly as we’ve seen before! ©Disney As for regular theme park ticket holders, park passes had been available for Magic Kingdom — until now. The calendar is showing no Magic Kingdom park passes for theme park ticket holders on both April 3rd and April 4th. ©Disney If you were planning on being in Magic Kingdom on the ride’s opening day, we hope you’ve already secured your park pass! There is a chance that Disney could release more passes depending on demand or if people cancel their reservations, so make sure you keep checking the Disney website for the latest information.

Part of having an enjoyable Disney trip is a smooth trip to Orlando. Starting off on the right foot will put you in the vacation mindset before you even step in the parks! ©Delta Not all airlines are created equal, though. When you are deciding on which airline to pick, you should consider not only their prices and availability but also their reputation when it comes to delays and cancellations. The last thing you want when headed to Disney World is a delayed — or worse, cancelled — flight. While you won’t ever have absolute control over when your flight will take off or arrive, you can take a look at the track record of different airlines to find out in general how reliable they are. This can alleviate a lot of the stress you may feel when traveling. You want an airline you can trust We used data from FlightAware to look at the most recent numbers for several popular airlines that serve Orlando International Airport, where many Disney World guests fly. Let’s see which airline comes out on top! Orlando International Airport American Airlines had around 93,000 scheduled flights in a one month timespan. During this time, they cancelled just over 2,200 flights, making up 2.4% of all of their flights. However, the popular airline had almost 19,500 delays with an average delay time of just under an hour. ©American Airlines Delta, another mainstream airline, had about 10,000 less flights in the same time period. They only cancelled about 1.5% of their flights and while they experienced a similar average delay time to American, their percentage of delays was much lower (16% versus 21%). ©Delta United had even less cancellations. Out of roughly 70,000 flights, 755 were cancelled, making up 1.1%. Their average delay time was a little shorter than the other two major airlines at around 45 minutes, but they did have 14,000 delays, representing 20% of their total flights. ©Getty Images Let’s take a look at some of the budget airlines! Will they perform any better or worse than the larger companies? Frontier had around 14,000 flights and only 200 were cancelled, similar to Delta’s percentage. However, Frontier had a higher percentage of delays than the other airlines! During this period they had over 4,000 delayed flights which made up almost 30% of their total! The average delay was around 50 minutes, so not much different than the others. ©Frontier Airlines Spirit Airlines flew about 25,000 flights and out of those only 305 were cancelled, making up a surprisingly low 1.3%. What about delays? Again, the percentage of delays for this budget airline was much higher than for the mainstream airlines. About 5,500 of their flights were delayed for 50 minutes on average, comprising 24% of the total flights. ©Spirit Airlines Last but not least, we decided to check out Southwest, who has recently been adding more flights to Orlando. They completed a staggering 110,000 flights during this time period, with 2,700 cancelled representing 2.4% of their total flights. The percentage of delays for Southwest was the second lowest out of all of these airlines at 17%, and they also had the lowest average delay time at 30 minutes. ©Southwest So, which airline is the best? Let’s take a look at all of the data: There are plenty other factors to consider when choosing an airline, but it’s good to have an idea of recent delays and cancellation numbers to know what you’re getting yourself into.

Disney World is full of unique experiences you just can’t find anywhere else. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Atrium One of those experiences opened last year — Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — and has been transporting guests to a galaxy far, far away ever since. But, it looks like something has changed about voyages on the Starcruiser, and we’re taking a look at what we know. Disney’s Star Wars hotel is an immersive, two-day, two-night itinerary, meaning that guests arrive and depart in the same time block (similar to a cruise). A wide range of activities and dining experiences in an immersive environment “on a galaxy far, far away” make this an experience like no other! Which side would you choose? Since the Star Wars hotel opened, we’ve seen guests rave about their experience, but based on what we’ve seen from the calendar, demand for the Starcruiser has not been what it once was. We’ve also seen the first discounts come available for the hotel — which is pretty darn expensive to begin with. Crown of Corellia Dining Room And now, it looks like Disney has changed the number of voyages available throughout the week. Previously, there were dates all throughout the week for guests to book, but a quick glance at the upcoming calendar shows that voyages have been reduced to just two times per week. ©Disney Beginning in October, the calendar shows only two trips available per week — mostly on the weekends. That continues through November and December as well. ©Disney While Disney hasn’t made any official announcements about this reduced schedule, we’ll be keeping an eye out for more news or updates on the Galactic Starcruiser.

Spring is returning, and so are the bunnies! Are you the Easter Bunny? Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to this returning snack that’s a classic treat with a fun twist. Let’s check out what’s returned! Walt Disney World has been debuting new treats like a whirlwind lately between EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, St. Patrick’s Day, and even Women’s History Month. Now, Animal Kingdom is ready to put a little “spring” in your step too! Bunny Butt On a recent trip out to Animal Kingdom we saw that the Bunny Butt has made a return to the park! Zuri’s Sweets Shop These little guys were a hit last year and the year before that, and the year before that…you get it right? They’re so popular for the springtime, they’ve started popping up year after year. These little guys are now available in Zuri’s Sweets Shop of the Africa section of the park for $5.99. Chocolate-coated rice crispy treat We wouldn’t blame you for wanting to hold off on biting into these adorable treats but let’s get down to what makes up the bunny butt. These sweet treats are rice crispy treats covered in white chocolate, in a reverse mickey head shape (which means Disney can cleverly repurpose normal Mickey-shaped krispies), topped with a tail comprised of white sprinkles piled together, and pink icing for the foot padding. Flip it around! This is a great spin on the classic treat for those that are fans of the regular Disney rice crispy treats that don’t mind more chocolate, but you’ll want to eat these fast because they will melt quickly if out in the sun for too long. They’re also a great snack to get you into the springtime or Easter season spirit. Zuri’s Sweets Shop If you’re not a huge fan of chocolate or rice crispy treats for that matter, this is probably a treat you will want to love from a distance.

Cast Members help make all of the magic happen at Disney World, and we couldn’t be more grateful for them. EPCOT Disney World Cast Members are leaving their mark permanently on an upcoming attraction at EPCOT! With so many new things coming to Walt Disney World, the Cast Members have been working extra hard to keep the magic going. The transformation of World Celebration at EPCOT has been a long time coming, and we’re finally starting to see things finalize with the opening coming later this year. © instagram.com/wdw.ambassador The Walt Disney World Ambassadors recently posted photos of EPCOT Cast Members signing a steel beam on Instagram. This was an exclusive “#DisneyCastLife” opportunity. The steel beam will be a permanent part of a World Celebration building when the area fully opens in EPCOT later this year. World Celebration will be the home of new festival areas, including CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza. The new spaces will play an integral part in EPCOT’s four annual festivals, which are highlights for Walt Disney World guests throughout the year! The beam that the Cast Members signed will likely be part of the CommuniCore Hall building. ©Disney The Walt Disney World Ambassadors are the spokespeople of the Walt Disney World Resort and help to organize events like this one for the over 65,000 Cast Members they represent. “The transformation of EPCOT is a historic time for the park,” the post reads. “Innovation on this scale is impossible without the dedication and support of our cast.” © instagram.com/wdw.ambassador The EPCOT cast members get to leave a permanent mark on this attraction, showcasing how their hard work makes an impact every day. “Here’s to the EPCOT worldwide family for making it happen!” the post concludes. World Celebration is slated to open at EPCOT later this year. Make sure you’re following along with Disne yFood Blog for the latest updates on this transformation.

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Disney food, but what makes Disney food even better? Minnie is ready for adventure! Disney food with your favorite characters, of course! If you’re looking to book a character meal while you’re at Disneyland, you have four options available to you, and each offers a different type of experience. So how do you decide which one is right for you and your family? You’re in luck because we’re ranking all the Disneyland character dining from best to worst! When trying to decide what character dining to choose, there are a few things to consider. Which characters are the most important to you — would you rather meet the classics, focus on Disney Princesses, or have a bigger variety? What style of food works best for your family — would you prefer a more upscale dining experience, or one that’s a little more kid-friendly? We’re bringing you all the details, so come along as we take a closer look at all the character dining options in Disneyland. 1. Mickey’s Tales of Adventure at Storytellers Cafe Storytellers Cafe, in Disneyland Resort’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, is a buffet-style restaurant that celebrates the art of storytelling through large paintings and murals, silhouettes, and stained glass design elements throughout the space. The dining room at Storytellers Cafe Storytellers Cafe features Mickey’s Tales of Adventure Breakfast Buffet for $49 per adult and $29 per child, and Mickey’s Tales of Adventure Brunch Buffet for $51 per adult and $29 per child. Buffet! While the dinner buffet is not a character meal, you’ll find Minnie, Pluto, and Chip ‘n Dale at the Breakfast and Brunch Buffets. Character dining at Storytellers Cafe Breakfast is served Mondays through Thursdays, and you’ll find classic favorites like croissants, muffins, danishes, fresh fruit, and Mickey Waffles. But there are plenty of hearty options as well — Chile Verde Chilaquiles, hand-carved meats, an omelet station, Egg White Frittatas, and much more. Eggs and Egg White Frittata Brunch is served Fridays through Sundays, and you’ll find many of the breakfast favorites, as well as the Fish of the Day, assorted flatbreads, beignets, and more! Pancakes and Mickey Waffles Overall, this spot has a welcoming, warm atmosphere, and great service — and we have enjoyed it on multiple trips to Disneyland. It is on the pricey side, and while we generally really love the food, there have been times when we thought the food was average. Keep that in mind when choosing a spot for yourselves, but overall, we recommend this spot for those looking for a quality character meal in Dinseyland. Read our full review of Mickey’s Tales of Adventure Breakfast Buffet here! 2. Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Napa Rose Napa Rose, also inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, is an award-winning restaurant that offers a sophisticated dining experience with fresh seasonal flavors focusing on wine country cuisine. Napa Rose From 8AM-11AM on Thursdays through Mondays, Napa Rose hosts a character meal — Disney Princess Breakfast Adventure. This is meant to be a 2-hour experience where you can meet princesses like Rapunzel, Mulan, Jasmine, and Ariel. This is a pricey meal — it costs $125 for both adults and children, but we were really thouroughly impressed by both the food and the level of interaction with the Princesses. Belle at Princess Breakfast Adventures The food portion was divided into three sections. For starters, you’ll get a 3-tier tower of appetizers with items like kiwi and coconut, chia and granola parfait with mango, and a lobster salad crostini. For the main course, kids can choose from house-made Mac ‘n’ Cheese, Princess Waffles, and Barbeque Sliders. Adults can choose from items like scrambled eggs, artisan turkey sausages, vegetables, and a rotating selection of meats. Dessert options range from Chocolate Princess Cake Pops to Petite Raspberry Tarts and more. Starter Tower Along with the great food we had here, we were impressed by the level of interaction with the characters. They really took their time with each guest, and there were additional themed activities and photo ops with the princesses like story time with Belle and a warrior pose practice with Mulan. Kids even got to take home keepsakes like an autograph book and crown neclace. At $125 per person, this might not be for everyone — but if you’re looking to splurge on an all-around great character experience, this is a great choice. Click here to read out full review of Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Napa Rose 3. Minnie & Friends Breakfast at the Plaza Inn Plaza Inn is cafeteria-style eatery on Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A.. This location is full of Victorian charm, and has been serving guests since Disneyland’s opening day in 1955 (when it was called Red Wagon Inn). Now, you can find a character breakfast here — Minnie & Friends Breakfast in the Park! Minnie at Plaza Inn The atmosphere here is charming — outside are pretty pops of pink flowers and pink umbrellas, and you’re on Main Street U.S.A., so it’s a prime location! At this all-you-care-to eat breakfast you’ll find classics like Mickey waffles, cold cereals, fresh fruit, scrambed eggs, breakfast meats, omlets, and more! It’s Daisy! There characters you’ll meet here range from Minnie, Daisy, Chip ‘n Dale, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Pluto — but characters are subject to change. Overall, the food here might not be as elevated as the previous two options — but it’s a great choice if you are looking for a variety of characters and want the convenience (and ambience) of starting your day on Main Street. See photos from our experience at Minnie and Friends Breakfast here! 4. Goofy’s Kitchen Goofy’s Kitchen in Disneyland Hotel is a spirited dining location where you can enjoy a payful character meal at both breakfast and dinner! At this all-you-care-to-eat location, you can find characters like Pluto, Chip ‘n Dale, and Minnie — as well as the head chef, Goofy! Meet Goofy Breakfast and dinner are both $59.99 per adult and $35 per child. For breakfast, you’ll find specialties like Mickey Pancakes, Goofy’s Famous Peanut Butter Pizza, and more. Mickey Pancakes For Dinner, enjoy Goofyroni & Cheese, a meat carving station, and a dessert buffet featuring the fan favorite — warm bread pudding! Pizzas This location is a fast-paced, fun environment with good food. If you’re looking for a lively, kid-friendly option, this might be the place for you! Hopefully, this list helped you figure out the best character dining in Disneyland for you family. Make sure to check out our video on the Ultimate Guide to Disneyland in 2023!

The Orlando International Airport is the main airport that many guests flying to Disney World will use, so when something goes wrong it can really throw a wrench in everyone’s plans. Orlando Airport Right now, plenty of people heading to Orlando have hit a speedbump with their travels due to “technical issues at the Federal Aviation Administration’s Miami Center.” Currently, Orlando International Airport is experiencing flight delays of 45 minutes or more due to technical issues at the Miami Center of the Federal Aviation Administration (Fox News). The airport recommends that travelers check the National Airspace System Status for updates on incoming and outgoing flights, and you can also check your individual airline’s website for your flight’s current status. Unfortunately, not only is this causing delays but cancelations as well! WESH News reported that so far 39 flights have been delayed and 4 have been canceled so far. In addition, both Miami International Airport and Palm Beach International Airport are both experiencing delays because of these technical issues. Orlando International Airport At the moment there is no word on when the issue will be resolved and flights can return to normal. We’ve already seen a few other instances of flight delays in Orlando this year thanks to air traffic control issues in Miami. Hopefully this isn’t a new trend!

Disney is always working to gauge the guest experience and make adjustments along the way. Cinderella Castle Walt Disney World’s newest guest survey may hint at possible changes to the guest experience! We recently received this survey following one of our park visits, and it mainly focused on price and value. Now, normally these questions are accompanied by other atmospheric and general “how did you enjoy your visit” questions, but this survey was almost entirely specific to value as it relates to the cost of our trip. Screenshot of Recent Survey Disney periodically sends out surveys like this one to guests as a means to gather information on the types of trips guests take, their spending habits, and expectations. This survey in particular asked us to rate how the value compared to the total price paid for the most recent trip we took to Walt Disney World, encompassing the trip as a whole. Screenshot of Recent Survey The survey continued to ask how we felt the value was in comparison to the price we paid, going as far as to break down each category for us to comment on. We’ve seen recent price increases in the parks, specifically in the areas the survey asked us to reflect on. Goofy is such a goof! With property-wide price increases at restaurants such as Chef Mickey’s and Cinderella’s Royal Table, we don’t doubt that Disney is certainly trying to gauge guest reactions to these changes. We also received this portion of the survey which asked us to recount our total spending on our visit. Screenshot of Recent Survey Disney seems intent on analyzing purchasing habits and what we spend on our trips, and it may mean we see some changes regarding the value and pricing of Walt Disney World offerings. Could this survey mean price changes across Disney World? It’s hard to tell, but the next part of the survey may offer a clue. This portion of the survey asked us how we made our visit more affordable and goes on to list various opportunities to save money. Screenshot of Recent Survey This has us wondering if we may enter a promotional period where Disney decides to run more ticket, food and beverage, and service promotions like they have in the past. The final part of the survey asked us about our engagement with the following rides. This has us wondering if Lightning Lane and Genie+ prices may see either an increase or decrease based on the demand outlined in this survey. Screenshot of Recent Survey We, of course, don’t know anything concrete regarding what this survey means for changes in Disney World. We do know, however, that Disney seems keen on continuing to further their guest service through these surveys! Although we can’t guarantee any price changes or new discounts based on this survey, you can still find lots of ways to save money on your upcoming vacation.
