Okay, so Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and you know what that means — LOTS of new snacks to try in Disney World. Trolley Car Cafe Yes, this makes us excited — we’re not called Disney FOOD Blog for nothing! We’ve had a cake dedicated to an iconic Disney princess and her beast, a pair of cupcakes dedicated to Stitch and Angel, a Strawberry Dole Whip Sundae, and more. Now we’re trying a returning to treat, and let’s just say — we’re already confused about it this year. The Strawberry Red Velvet Whoopie Pie has returned to Trolley Car Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s a red velvet cake filled with cream cheese buttercream and topped with strawberry buttercream. For comparison, here’s what it looked like last year. Red Velvet Whoopie Pie in 2022 — SO much buttercream We’re just going to say we LOVED last year’s version of the snack. Here’s what this year’s looks like, and you might notice something immediately. It’s got a lot less buttercream in the middle, and that’s our first complaint about it. Where’s the buttercream? Now, we can’t really complain about the flavors because the strawberry and red velvet cake tasted GREAT together. It’s also a very pretty dessert, especially with that edible glitter on top of the strawberry. The buttercream was also tasty, but we just needed MORE. It’s pretty The cake with this year’s snack was also not as moist as we would’ve liked and the frosting on it tasted like the cream inside a Twinkie (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). But overall, the texture of that cream was also kinda’ off for us — it almost reminded us of eating shortening (not that we do that regularly). Again, we need more buttercream in the middle! Honestly, we thought this was only a step above a Hostess snack cake. But it is only $4.99, meaning that it’s one of the less expensive snacks in Disney World, so if that’s your thing, go for it. It will be available for a limited time, though, so keep that in mind. WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World!

Have you ever stayed at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn? Disney’s Boardwalk It’s a very well-located resort that’s close to EPCOT and several other Disney hotels. But did you know that there’s also some great dining here? Well, there is! We’re going to break down all your dining options at BoardWalk Inn so you can make those important “where and what to eat” decisions the next time you’re there. AbracadaBar Let’s start with one of the most unique bars in all of Disney World. This bar has a SECRET — it used to be a hideout of a group of Boardwalk magicians who mysteriously disappeared over 70 years ago. This bar is FULL of throwbacks to those magicians, so if you do visit, be sure to take some time to peruse your surroundings. There is some outdoor seating available, but you want to sit indoors — trust us! SUCH a cool mysterious vibe We have to recommend one of the food items here. It’s the Abra Fries with Parmesan Cheese, Gremolata, and Truffle Cheese Sauce. These fries are GOOD. Abra Fries The cocktails here are also magic-themed: we especially like the Magic Mirror, made with Bacardi Rum, Soda Water, Mango Syrup, Sprite, and Lime Juice. It’s a nice tropical-flavored drink without an overabundance of sweetness. Read a recent review! Belle Vue Lounge The Belle Vue Lounge is modeled after a 1930s sitting room and is so cozy, you may not ever want to leave. You’ll listen to radio shows from the 30s and 40s while you’re here, and maybe even try your hand at a board game. In the morning, you can grab pastries and coffee here, but later in the day, this is where you want to just chill — or maybe even grab a quick nap in one of the comfy chairs. Belle Vue Lounge It’s all about the cocktails here, and there are some delicious ones to try. The Orange Blossom Manhattan, with Knob Creek Disney Single Barrel Bourbon, Cointreau Noir Liqueur, Orange Blossom Honey, and Orange Bitters, is great for those who want a twist on a traditional Manhattan. Orange Blossom Manhattan There are also a selection of delicious non-alcoholic drinks to try, like the Agave Garden made with Lyer’s Agave Reserva Spirit (non-alcoholic), cold-pressed lime juice, passionfruit papaya green tea, and cucumber. Interestingly enough, this non-boozy drink still packs a flavorful and refreshing punch! Here’s a review of Belle Vue Lounge Jellyrolls Dueling Piano Bar Okay, you don’t necessarily go to Jellyrolls Dueling Piano Bar for specific food and drinks. No, you go for the good times that happen when pianists take to the stage to battle it out every night playing music from the 70s through the 90s! Jellyrolls Be sure to ask about the drink special of the night in the red cup! The cover charge is $18 and it’s open nightly from 7PM to 1:45PM. But you’ll want to get there early if you’d like a seat. Here’s more about Jellyrolls BoardWalk Joe’s If you’re craving a margarita (and who isn’t?), you can go to Boardwalk Joe’s to quench your thirst. It’s just a small kiosk ON the BoardWalk itself, but you’ll find that it has a pretty extensive drink menu! You’ll find some imaginative seasonal cocktails here, too Valentine’s Day margarita You can also count on favorites like the Marvelous Watermelon Margarita, made with Patrón Silver Tequila, Watermelon, Lime Juice, and Sweet-and-Sour to satisfy your thirst. Even better? You can grab a Mickey Pretzel here to go with that margarita. Here’s a review! Leaping Horse Libations You’ll find Leaping Horse Libations near the Luna Park Pool. You can’t miss it because it’s themed like a carousel. There are a variety of eats available here, including a Pretzel Dog, Various Salads, and Pizza. Yes, you can get a Mickey Pretzel here, too. Leaping Horse Libations As far as drinks go, you can occasionally get some fun seasonal drinks like the one with actual PEEPS in it that we had one Easter. The Easter Hunt You’ll also find many of the standard Disney drinks available like the Banana Cabana, with Cruzan Mango Rum, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Bols Crème de Banana, Orange Juice, and Pineapple Juice with a float of Grenadine, and the Captain’s Mai Tai with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, Bols Amaretto, and Tropical Juices topped with a float of Myer’s Original Dark Rum. Check out a review of Leaping Horse Libations Boardwalk Pizza Window Okay, so if you’re just craving a slice of pizza — or even a WHOLE pizza, you can head over to the BoardWalk Pizza Window, which is literally just that — a window where you can go and order food. You will, however, find some outside seating here overlooking the BoardWalk. BoardWalk Pizza Window Is this the BEST pizza in Disney World? Probably not, BUT the Side Salad here is solid and the Pepperoni and Cheese Pizzas are actually pretty tasty. This is where you go at the end of a long day in the parks when you just want to fill up on carbs (or please picky eaters). Also, the Mini Cannolis are pretty yummy for dessert! Mini cannoli The window is also open until 11PM if you need somewhere to eat later in the evening. Read a review! BoardWalk Ice Cream If you’re craving ice cream, BoardWalk Ice Cream offers simple sundaes and scoops made with Edy’s ice cream. However, these treats are inspired by Beaches & Cream over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, so they WILL satisfy your ice cream cravings! BoardWalk Ice Cream We’ve got two favorite sundaes here. First, the Thundering Surf Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sundae is HEAVEN. This comes with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, peanut butter and chocolate morsels, whipped cream, and a cherry! In our opinion, you can’t go wrong with mixing peanut butter and chocolate with ice cream. Thundering Surf Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sundae However, you also can’t go wrong with the Bayside Brownie a la Mode, which is a brownie, hot fudge, and vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, and a cherry. Here’s a review of BoardWalk Ice Cream BoardWalk To Go If you’re looking for a quick snack, head to the BoardWalk To Go kiosk to grab some calorie-filled yummy fried boardwalk treats. We’re talking Corn Dogs, Hot Dogs, Chicken Tenders, Parmesan Fries, and more! Boardwalk To-Go This one will please the kiddos, so you’re sure to find something there to make them happy! How about a review? Carousel Coffee Carousel Coffee is the newest dining spot at Disney’s BoardWalk. You’ll find it just inside the lobby, which makes it convenient if you’re picking up a coffee and pastry to munch on before you head to the parks! Carousel Coffee entrance You can grab some classic snacks here, too, like the Vintage Mickey & Minnie Sugar Cookie, Banana Bread, Croissants, Muffins, NJ Crumb Cake, Bagels, and a Mickey Brownie. Vintage Mickey Sugar Cookie Be sure to keep an eye out for seasonal drinks, too! Here’s our review! BoardWalk Deli If you’re looking for classic hot and cold sandwiches for lunch and breakfast, head on over to BoardWalk Deli, which sits on Disney’s BoardWalk. You’ll also find some delicious sweet treats here, too (including those from BoardWalk Bakery, which this deli replaced). BoardWalk Deli Breakfast brings some fresh bagels, but we’re going to recommend the Everything Bagel Sandwich with cage-free egg, a sausage patty, and cheddar on an everything bagel because it is EVERYTHING. However, the Bagel Breakfast Sandwich is also a solid choice. It’s made with bacon, cage-free egg, caramelized onion, and cheddar on a regular bagel Bagel Breakfast Sandwich For lunch, the Chicken Salad Wrap, which is a Rotisserie Chicken, Grapes, Walnuts, and Mayonnaise in a Spinach Wrap, is a great healthy-ish and tasty choice, although the real sandwich winner here for us is Warm Pastrami Reuben with Sauerkraut, Swiss, and Thousand Island Dressing on Marble Rye (only sauerkraut lovers need apply, though!) Warm Pastrami Reuben You want sweet treats? You’ll find a variety here, including cookies, scones, and muffins. If anything, though, we recommend the Cannoli! Here’s our breakfast review! Big River Grille and Brewing Works If you’re a brewery fan, you’ll have to make time to check out Big River Grille and Brewing Works. Yes, it’s an ACTUAL brewery where you can sample some brews that have won awards. Inside, you’ll find floor-to-ceiling glass walls where you can watch the beer being made — how cool is that? If you’re here for the brews, try sitting at the bar. So here’s the truth — we’re not super impressed with the food here, and it’s fairly standard bar food (even the nachos didn’t impress us, and they had CHEESE on them). It’s certainly food that will satisfy, if that’s what you’re looking for. You’ll want to go here to try out those unique brews, though, because they really do make the trip to the brewery worth it. Here’s our honest review Flying Fish Flying Fish is a signature restaurant that specializes in seafood dishes. The atmosphere is also stunning — the main dining room features a crystal flying fish chandelier. This joint is both sophisticated AND whimsical. As this is a more upscale dining experience, though, there is a dress code. It’s BEAUTIFUL This is where you go to get some of the BEST seafood on Disney World property but be warned — it will cost you! Yes, it’s pricey, but there are some truly standout dishes here, like the Seafood Pearl Pasta with Shrimp, Lobster, Scallops, Clams, and Mussels (for an additional fee, you can add scallops). Seafood Pearl Pasta The Slow Roasted Pork Belly is also a great starter. For dessert, be sure to order the Creamy Goat Cheesecake — you can thank us later. It’s Honey Glaze, Cassis Gel, and Pistachio Cake. It IS EVERYTHING. Read our most recent Flying Fish Review! Trattoria al Forno If you’re looking for some of the best Italian food in Disney World, don’t sleep on Trattoria al Forno. Even the theming inside makes it feel like a classic Italian restaurant, complete with an open kitchen at its heart where you can watch the chefs work their magic. Inside the restaurant Here you’ll find regional Italian specialties with many of the ingredients made in-house. Yes, that even means the mozzarella is made there! We suggest you sample that mozzarella by ordering the Insalata Caprese for your starter. It’s made with house-made burrata, ripe tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil. It’s SO fresh and delicious. Insalata Caprese For your main dish, you can’t go wrong with Truffle Gnocchi with Parmesan, fontina, and pecorino cream. It is heavy on the truffle flavors, but if you love that, you must try it. We also love the Pizza Carni here — this isn’t any regular old pizza. It’s a meat lover’s dream because it’s topped with topped with prosciutto, salami, sausage, and capicola. Pizza Carni Consider finishing your meal with the Panna Cotta, which is served with fresh fruit and a florentine lace cookie. It’s SO smooth and creamy and the perfect ending to a meal. Here’s our most recent review The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers There’s a brand NEW dining spot coming to the Board Walk in 2023: it’s The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. It will be a new table service restaurant serving brunch, lunch, and dinner, as well as afternoon tea. Disney says the new dining location will offer a “whimsical atmosphere that complements the magic of the idyllic charm of Disney’s BoardWalk that guests know and love.” Concept art for The Cake Bake Shop ©The Cake Bake Shop Guests will also be able to pop in for a quick treat from the bakery case, like cakes, pies, French pastries, and more! Learn More About The Cake Bake Shop! Here’s the thing, though — those are JUST the restaurants at Disney’s BoardWalk. Because of the BoardWalk Inn’s location, you have access to dining at Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club Resorts, too! PLUS EPCOT is a short walk away. So good luck trying to decide where to eat if you’re staying there because there are SO many choices. With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals.

Going to Disney World for the first time? Or maybe you THINK you’re a Disney expert but fear there are essential tips and tricks out there that have somehow evaded you? No matter who you are, you’ve come to the right place. Magic Kingdom We go to Disney World every day — we’ve eaten tons of food, ridden the rides, checked out the shows, and scoured the merchandise shops. Plus, we search for discounts and deals on the daily. In short, we work diligently to know what’s happening in the parks and bring YOU the tricks you need to make your trip the best one yet. Now we’re diving into our years of experience and bringing you some of the top tips that’ll CHANGE your experience in the parks! 1 — Save $$ on Water Bottles Our ultimate pro-tip when it comes to staying hydrated is to bring your own reusable water bottle from home and refill it (at water fountains or by getting free cups of water), but if you simply must buy a water bottle or other soda in Disney World, there is a way to save money! Annual Passholders get discounts on a variety of things in Disney world, including merchandise at certain stores. If you are a Passholder and need to pick up a bottle of soda, SKIP the snack cart and head to a Disney-owned and operated store instead! Snack Area While the Passholder discount may not work at a place like Cool Ship, stop by the nearby Star Traders gift shop and you’ll find that Passholders get 20% off select regularly priced merchandise. That can often include water bottles and soda found in small refrigerators there, or even packaged snacks. So before grabbing a snack or drink from the snack cart, check nearby stores to see if the Annual Passholder discount can actually save you a bit of cash! Click here to learn more about the Annual Passholder program in Disney World 2 — You Don’t Have to Guess What Wait Times Will Be Ever look at a ride’s wait time in the My Disney Experience app and think “gosh, I want to ride it but I’m wondering if the wait time will go DOWN later today.” Well, you don’t necessarily need to just cross your fingers and wait to see what happens. While it’s not an exact science and is only an estimation, the My Disney Experience app does show forecasted wait times! Simply search for and select the ride you want to see forecasted wait times for and look for the middle portion where it says “forecasted wait times.” ©Disney Again, these aren’t exact calculations. But they could give you a sense of when or whether a ride’s wait times will drop later in the day. And if the app is only showing that wait times will get WORSE as the day goes on, then you may want to consider hopping in line now! Also, don’t forget that we look at average wait times weekly. That can help you get a sense of just how long you may have to wait for your favorite attractions (on average). Click here to learn more about My Disney Experience 3 — The Menus Aren’t What They Seem You might have reviewed all of the Disney World restaurant menus ahead of your trip, but the menus aren’t always what they seem. Several Disney World spots actually have SECRET menu items! You might find secret Strawberry Soup at Disney’s Grand Floridian Cafe, secret bread and snacks at Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom, and more. Like we would ever turn down Cheese Bread Now, there are a few caveats to keep in mind. Secret menu items can and do disappear and change often. So a secret menu item you buy today may not be there tomorrow or in a few weeks. But still, it’s worth it to do a bit of digging, see what might be available, and ask a server about any special off-the-menu items you can order. You might be surprised at what you’ll find! Do YOU know where you can order Strawberry Soup in Disney World? Remember also that some secret menu items may only be available through Mobile Order, so before grabbing that next snack, see if there are any unique things on the menu that aren’t usually listed there! We’ve got an entire PAGE dedicated to secret menus here — so click on and see what you might find! And see our video below to learn about more secret eats!  4 — Yes, You Can Bring in That PB&J and Bottle of Diet Coke Eating can be a HUGE draw at the Disney parks — we know, we are Disney Food Blog, after all! But sometimes you may crave the simplicity (and savings!) of bringing food from home. And you might be surprised to learn just how much you can bring into the parks! Adults or kiddos in your group may have extremely picky palettes or you may just want to save on breakfast so you can really splurge on that character lunch. Or maybe you just want to make sure that you don’t reach dangerously hangry levels while waiting in a 2-hour line for a ride somewhere. Bringing your own food can be the answer to those problems and so many others. You Could Save By Bringing Your Own Food Now there are some rules to keep in mind: You CANNOT bring alcoholic beverages from outside into the parks You can’t bring things that come in glass containers (though there is generally an exclusion for small glass baby food containers) The food you bring cannot require heating, reheating, processing, refrigeration, or temperature control You can’t bring anything with pungent odors You should alert a security Cast Member of any food items you’ve got Overall, those aren’t rules that are too difficult to follow for your basic snacks and even more! Target snacks Want to pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a quick and cheap lunch? You can do it! What about packs of chips for the whole family? Done! Soda and water bottles for the entire group, and maybe some orange juice too for a breakfast drink? Totally okay! How about a bunch of fruit snacks to keep you satisfied throughout the day? That’s fine! Really, you could bring enough snacks, sandwiches, and other goodies to fill your entire day, saving you from having to spend a dime on food in the parks. Whether you want to do that is up to you (because, again, eating really can be half of the fun). But bringing your own snacks can really be a budget and hunger saver. Mandalorian Goldfish! If you’ll be driving, pack the snacks in the family car. But if you are flying and won’t have room in your luggage, remember that you can have groceries delivered to your hotel or you could stop by local grocery stores to get the essentials. Click here to see some of your top questions (and answers) about bringing food into the parks 5 — The My Disney Experience App Can Be Your Friend You likely already know that you can use the My Disney Experience app for things like Genie+ and to Mobile Order your meals, but the app can do SO much more for you. We already highlighted the forecasted wait times feature above, but there are a ton of other things you probably didn’t realize the app can help you with. Did you know you can filter the park maps by characters, PhotoPass, or even RESTROOMS?! That’s right, no more running around when you’ve got to go. Simply go to the map (it’s the second icon on the bottom row), tap that center down arrow and a select category option will pop up, then select restrooms and you’ll know just where to go! ©Disney But wait…there’s MORE. You can also use the My Disney Experience app to set up MagicMobile, a service that’ll essentially turn your phone (or even Apple Watch) into a useful tool that can help you scan your ticket at the front of the park without even pulling out a MagicBand. MagicMobile ©Disney Here are just a few more things the app can help you do: Join Walk-Up Waitlist for popular restaurants (this can help you grab a last-minute spot at select restaurants) Skip the lines at merchandise stores (by using Mobile Merchandise Checkout) Use a Car Locator feature to mark down your parking spot (before you walk away and forget!) Watch videos about Disney World updates And MORE So, take our advice and familiarize yourself with the app well before your trip. You might be surprised how much it can do for you! Check out some things you NEVER knew the My Disney Experience app could do! 6 — You Might Not Need to Actually Sit Down to Eat at a Table Service Restaurant You Love Want to grab that amazing bread service from Sanaa but don’t feel like sitting down for a full meal? Or maybe you’ve been craving a steak from Steakhouse 71 but you’d rather take it back to the room and eat it while watching a Disney movie on TV. Well, you might just be in luck! Disney has a service called Mobile Order Table Service To-Go and it’s something you MUST know about. Bread Service To-Go from Sanaa! Mobile Order Table Service To Go lets you pick up some of your FAVORITE meals from select table service restaurants mainly at Disney World’s hotels. Like the regular Mobile Order service, you’ll place your order through the My Disney Experience app, select a pick-up time, pay for it in advance, and then pick it up from the restaurant. Where you eat it is up to you — take it to a bench nearby, enjoy it in your room, or whatever you want! African Triple-Chocolate Mousse Now keep in mind that the service is only available at a few select spots at Disney World’s hotels, namely: Sanaa Steakhouse 71 Three Bridges Bar & Grill Olivia’s Cafe Kona Cafe Geyser Point Bar & Grill Ale & Compass Restaurant And at some places, a message may pop up saying it is only available for guests staying at that hotel (just be sure to check when placing your order). But even given its limited availability, it can still be a HUGE perk. Table Service To Go Screenshot You might just get the chance to try a meal you otherwise wouldn’t have had the time or energy for — so give it a shot the next time you’re in Disney World! Learn all about Table Service To Go here! 7 — The Kids’ Menu Is NOT Just for Kids Do you want a hamburger but aren’t hungry enough to finish the adult-sized portion? Want to save a bit of money by ordering a kids’ portion of a meal? Or maybe you’ve got a picky eater in the group who can’t imagine ordering anything but the kids’ chicken tenders? If you think that the kids’ menu is off-limits simply because you’re a little older than your traditional “kid,” you’d be WRONG. Kid’s meal at Restaurantosaurus That’s right, the kids’ menus aren’t just for kids! So feel free to order a kids’ meal at a quick service restaurant (in person or via Mobile Order). The Cast Members won’t judge you! Having the kids’ menu as an option can be helpful for many of the reasons we mentioned above. It could get you the food you really want and the portion size you’d prefer at a price that’s a bit easier on your wallet. Kids’ Meal at Galaxy’s Edge The only time you may find this to be more difficult is at Table Service restaurants. They may bring adults a larger (and more expensive) portion of the food from the kids’ menu or otherwise make certain restrictions. But it never hurts to ask and see what they can do. Click here to see some of the BEST kids’ menus in Disney World! 8 — There Are Some Substantial Disney World Hotel Perks (But Other Hotels Qualify Too Sometimes!) Staying at a Disney World hotel comes with a good amount of perks, some of which you probably already know about. For example, there is FREE Disney transportation to the theme parks. Plus, those staying at Disney World hotels get FREE theme park parking, so if you’d prefer to take your car, simply show them your hotel reservation and you can park for free. And recently Disney World brought back free overnight self-parking at the hotels for hotel guests (so no need to pay an extra fee for overnight parking). Staying at a Disney World hotel can be important for other reasons too, but sometimes you can get Disney World hotel perks at non-Disney hotels too! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort For example, did you know that ALL Disney World hotel guests can currently get 30-minute EARLY access to any park of their choosing (provided they have a Park Pass reservation) any day of the week? This is a perk called Early Theme Park Entry and it’s set to stick around through 2023. And while all Disney World hotels qualify, other select hotels qualify too like the B Resort & Spa (at Disney Springs), the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, and the Holiday Inn Orlando (Disney Springs). So you are able to get a Disney hotel perk without spending Disney hotel prices! Click here for a full list of participating hotels. ©Waldorf Astoria And what about Extended Evening Hours? This perk lets you spend EXTRA time in select parks on certain nights after the rest of the crowds have gone away. It’s available to those staying at Disney World Deluxe Hotels and Deluxe Villas. BUT it’s also available to those staying at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, the Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green. Swan & Dolphin Hotel And what about Genie+? That has some special hotel perks too! All Disney World hotel guests can make their first Individual Lightning Lane (pay-per-ride) selection at 7AM on the day of their visit. BUT that perk is also available for those at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels and Shades of Green. Everyone else has to wait until the park opens, but those extra hours can be helpful in securing the Pay-Per-Ride selection you want at the return time you need! So the key here is to know that Disney World hotels do come with some good benefits beyond just the free transportation and fun theming. But also keep in mind that select other hotels may qualify for some (not necessarily all) of those benefits too, so you may be able to score the big perks with a smaller price tag (depending on where you stay). 9 — OpenTable Can Score You a Seat in Disney Springs By now you likely know that you can make Disney World dining reservations through the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app, but if you’re going to Disney Springs, check out OpenTable too! ©OpenTable A few Disney Springs restaurants are actually available through OpenTable, so you may just be able to score a table at a place that otherwise looked full through the My Disney Experience app. ©OpenTable The key here is to remember that not all restaurants are available through OpenTable, only some! But it can still be a very helpful tool when trying to grab that must-get seat! 10 — The Secret to Saving on Park Tickets Sometimes Disney offers limited-time park ticket discounts (often for Florida Residents), but aside from that, how can you save on your access to the parks? Well…you just might be able to get a SNEAKY discount if you know how to look. When looking at multi-day tickets, you’ll be asked to select the start date for your ticket. Let’s say we decide to buy a 4-day park ticket. The start date won’t restrict us to just the date we selected and the 3 days that follow that. Instead, you’ll notice that Disney says you can use the ticket on non-consecutive days for quite the range PAST 4 days surrounding your start date. ©Disney Why is that important? Well, if you play around with the start date, you could get some savings! For example, let’s say the days you actually want to go to the parks are April 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th. If you select the 5th as your start date (and pick a ticket that gives you access to 1 park per day), the price starts at $566.15 per ticket. ©Disney But, look at what happens when you select a start date of April 2nd. It still encompasses your desired dates (5th-8th) but the price suddenly DROPS to $551.47 per ticket. You’ve just saved almost $15 for doing…nothing really! ©Disney You’ll just want to feel confident about the days on which you want to go to the parks and remember you’ll need those Park Pass reservations for each day! Click here to see the cheapest days to visit Disney World in 2023 11 — Look for a Back Entrance Want to experience part of an exhibit without going on its main attraction? You might be able to — just look for a back entrance! For example, if you want to visit the aquariums at The Seas pavilion, you do NOT need to go on The Seas with Nemo and Friends ride first. Instead, head to the left of the pavilion, find the gift shop, and enter through there. You can then explore the aquariums at your leisure, no ride wait necessary. Check Out the Aquariums! The same is true over at the Imagination pavilion. If all your kiddo wants to do is check out those play areas at the exit of the ride, you can skip the Figment ride itself, go in through the gift shop, and check out the play zone. Time to Play! Remember there’s also a “back” entrance/exit to EPCOT as a whole — over by Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort. It’s between the United Kingdom and France pavilions and can connect you over to various EPCOT-area resorts and even a walkway that’ll take you all the way to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Did You Know About This Exit? In other words, don’t let the main entrances fool you. Be sure to check and see if there’s a way to get into whatever you want by seeking a side or back entrance. Just make sure it’s an approved spot for you to enter through and follow any Cast Member directions when finding your way! 12 — There’s MORE You Can Get for FREE Than Just a Button You might already know that you can get free buttons to celebrate special occasions in Disney World, but you might be surprised to know how many other things you can get for free in the parks! For starters, at many quick service locations, you can get a FREE cup of ice and water — a much-needed thing on those hot Florida days! Simply ask a Cast Member for a cup of water or look for any free water that might be arranged nearby. Oh, and you can grab free water at Starbucks too! Drink lots of water while you’re at Disney World! But wait, there’s MORE. Over at The Seas with Nemo and Friends, you can actually pick up a FREE booklet to complete the Finding Dory’s Friens Scavenger Hunt. It’s FREE! Within the booklet, there are activities to complete and more that’ll keep little ones (or bigger ones!) entertained and can serve as a great souvenir. Scavenger Hunt Book You can also get a FREE Wilderness Explorers booklet as you work on getting your badges in this activity at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Wilderness Explorers Handbook Again it comes with activity pages and things that can help you as you unlock your badges throughout the park. Wilderness Explorers Handbook You can also pick up free maps at the parks. EPCOT Map And if it’s your birthday, be sure to wear that birthday button proudly. Though it’s not guaranteed, you never know what magic might happen! For more about FREE things in Disney World, see our video below.  13 — MODIFY (Don’t Cancel) Your Genie+ Selections And finally, we will briefly touch on a Genie+ change that you need to know about. In late 2022, Disney changed Genie+, allowing guests to modify their selections. That brought about an important adjustment to the 120-minute rule. ©Disney One of the more complicated parts of Genie+ is the “120-minute rule.” If you book a Genie+ selection at 9AM for a return time that isn’t until 3PM, you don’t have to wait until the afternoon to make your next selection. With Genie+ you can make your next selection either: After you use your Genie+ selection, After your Genie+ selection expires (if you don’t use it), or 120 minutes after you made your selection (if you make the selection at 7AM, that 120 minutes doesn’t start until the park opens) whatever happens first. ©Disney So here’s where the Genie+ change comes in. Let’s say you book a Lightning Lane at 7AM for a return time at 6:15PM. Because you booked it at 7AM and the park doesn’t open (let’s say) until 9AM, the next time you could make a Genie+ selection would be at 11AM (120 minutes after park open). But what if at around 9:30AM you change your mind about the Genie+ selection you want? You could CANCEL your existing 6:15PM Genie+ selection and then make a new one for another ride at (let’s say) 5PM. But that would RESET your 120-minute timer. So instead of being able to make a new selection at 11AM, it would reset to 120 minutes after 9:30AM — 11:30AM. Lightning Lane signs The other option you have is to MODIFY your existing Genie+ selection. Here’s the important part: when you modify, your 2-hour window to wait to book another Lightning Lane remains the same. That means, in this example, 11AM would still be the next time at which you’d be able to make a Genie+ selection. So by modifying (instead of canceling), you’d save yourself from having to wait another 30 minutes to make your next Genie+ selection. Yes, it’s confusing. The key is to MODIFY instead of CANCELING your Genie+ selection so you can make your next Genie+ selection as quickly as possible. Click here for our post on this topic!

If you can count on one place continuously bringing high prices to Disney World snacks, it’s Amorette’s Patisserie. Amorette’s We’ve been trying all the Valentine’s Day and Celebrate Soulfully treats around Disney Springs this month, but there’s another treat we knew we had to grab from Amorette’s — a new Beauty and the Beast cake! This stunning cake costs a whopping $22. This is an almond chiffon cake with red wine simple syrup, cherry jam, cream cheese filling, red wine, dark chocolate mousse, and white chocolate pretzels. Beauty and the Beast Cake The layers of almond chiffon cake and red wine-dark chocolate mousse were amazing together! The flavors were subtle but delicious, and the texture of the almond cake was enhanced really nicely by the chocolate mousse and cherry jam layers, which made the cake nice and moist. We wish we could ignore the rest of this treat, because this was the BEST part that would make it worth coming back for. The chocolate mousse & almond cake were probably our favorite parts of this cake. Unfortunately, the texture of the pretzel layer wasn’t great and we didn’t notice any cream cheese flavors. The layer of frosting on the top just tasted like basic frosting — there was nothing special about it. It’s gorgeous, though We also weren’t a fan of the taste of the fondant (like many people) and the texture of the pretzel layer really just tasted like chewing paper. If you’re looking for a delicate cake with interesting flavors, we say give this a try, but if you’re sensitive to textures, you may want to pass. This is a GREAT cake for your Instagram feed, but at what cost? Grab yours today! While you’re visiting the resort, be sure to check out some of our favorite treats from this season, even if it means you’ve gotta travel all the way across Disney World — some of them are really worth it!

Recently, we got digitized and sent into the grid! TRON Lightcyle / Run Yes, we got to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run in Disney World, thanks to being invited by a Cast Member for the Cast Member previews of the ride. We learned SO MUCH about the ride, like exactly how the locker system work, how the seats feel, and more. But one detail may surprise you more than anything! Okay, so we’re going to share our full ride through video with you, so you can get an idea of what we’re talking about. WARNING: there are spoilers so keep scrolling if you don’t want to see yet! Now look at how long that video is — it comes in at one minute and 25 seconds, but if you watch it, the full ride lasts a little over a minute from the initial launch through the end where it slows down right before you get off the ride. That is SHORT. Our reporters who rode compared it to the length of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. It’s a short ride We shouldn’t be too surprised because the runtime for the original version of the ride in Shanghai is about the same length, and this ride is basically the same. Of course, the entire experience begins once you walk through into the Blue Team area and are “digitized and enter the Grid.” So you could see all that as part of the ride experience, too. Getting digitized But the actual ride is relatively short. It is PRETTY COOL, though, even if you ride it from the adaptive seats (there are adaptive seats on some of the ride trains for those who can’t comfortably ride the Lightcycle seats). The launch goes from 0 to 59mph FAST and that offers quite a thrill for coaster fans. The adaptive seats If you’re looking for even more information about TRON Lightcycle / Run, we covered EVERYTHING you need to know about the attraction here. TRON Lightcycle / Run opens to the general public on April 4th in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland. Opening soon! Guests will only be able to ride the attraction via virtual queue (which is free to get a boarding pass for) or by buying the Individual Lightning Lane (pay-per-ride) option for it. So you’ll want to keep that in mind as lines will probably be long for it — is a minute-long ride worth keeping you from other attractions with shorter lines? That’s up to you! This sign will tell you wait times We’ll be at TRON Lightcycle / Run’s opening day, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more! WE RODE TRON in Disney World — Here’s Everything You Need to Know!

When it comes to nighttime entertainment, Disney World goes ALL OUT. Fantasmic! sign We’re talking nighttime fireworks shows that will have you all up in your feelings, Spaceship Earth lighting up the night sky, and more. One of our favorite nighttime shows is Fantasmic!, which is currently showing once per night in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, that’s changing. Fantasmic! was set to have one show per night until February 26th, but now they will have two shows per night! That gives guests an extra chance to catch it each evening. We noticed that this is the case NOW, with shows at 8 PM and 9:30PM — this is the schedule through March 11th. ©Disney From March 12th through April 1st, Fantasmic! showtimes are at 8:30PM and 10PM. From April 2nd to April 13th, there is only one showtime again at 8:30PM. It is possible that an extra showtime will be added later — we’ll be sure to let you know! ©Disney So keep that in mind if you’re visiting Disney World through those dates. We do recommend lining up for the show as early as possible as it is one of the most popular shows in Disney World. Or you could treat yourself to a Fantasmic! dining package to get a guaranteed seat for one of the shows. Fantasmic!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Are you ready to upgrade your EPCOT festival experience? 2023 Flower & Garden Festival is right around the corner The 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is on its way and if you’re planning on enjoying the festivities, we have a few tricks up our sleeves we want to share with you! This year’s festival will take place from March 1st through July 5th and will be filled with fun activities, tasty food booths, and plenty of entertainment to enjoy. When it comes to festivals we’re old hats, so we’ve learned a few things over the years that can help you have a better experience in the park! These are two things we never go without when headed into EPCOT for a festival, and if you’re big foodies like us you’ll want to bring them too. 2022 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival The first item we highly recommend bringing with you is a tray. You may feel silly walking into the parks with one, but trust us, you’ll not only be grateful for it but you’ll also be the envy of all the other guests. If you’ve been to an EPCOT festival before you may have noticed there is pretty limited seating around the park. Most of the food booths are outside, and with so many guests eager to try out the offerings the few tables and seats get claimed fairly quickly. You may be able to snag a table if you’re lucky, buy it’s better to come prepared A tray not only gives you a surface to eat from, but it also makes it much easier to carry all of your purchases! You may want to grab a few dishes and drinks from more than one booth and eat them at once, and a tray makes it so much easier to tote each item. This also helps if you are willing to walk a bit further to see if you can find a free seat. Don’t miss out on any tasty dishes! You don’t have to spend a fortune either. You can get a single cafeteria tray on Amazon for just $4.99! Carry it in to the parks or slip it into your backpack for easy toting. The washable plastic makes for easy clean-up too! Plastic Cafeteria Tray Click here to buy this Plastic Cafeteria Tray! Our second food-related item comes in handy when your day is done. With the wide variety of booths you might want to try more than you can reasonably enjoy in a single day, and if you only have one day to spend in EPCOT it can be hard to decide which dishes to enjoy and which to pass by. Sometimes our eyes are bigger than our stomachs Also, sometimes you order more than you can handle and just have to put the fork down (no matter how delicious it is!). Instead of throwing it away, save your food by bringing plastic food storage containers! These are perfectly fine to bring in to the parks as long as they aren’t made of glass. Once you’ve had your fill, just store your leftovers in the containers you brought. Just keep in mind that you won’t have any refrigeration options inside the park, so either wait until the end of the day to take food back to your hotel or make sure you bring an insulated bag and some ice packs to keep food fresh. Sweet, sweet frushi We like this set from Ziploc that comes with 12 containers of varying sizes, including small ones perfect for sauces! They’re also microwave safe so you can reheat your food. Now you’ve got a snack for later! That can come in handy for midnight snacking if you’re staying in a Disney resort, where most dining locations only stay open until 11PM at the latest. This set of containers and lids is available for $11.02. Ziploc Plastic Food Storage Containers Click here to buy these Ziploc Plastic Food Storage Containers! By using these two tricks you can have an easier time while you visit the Flower & Garden Festival.

There is constantly some kind of construction, refurbishment, and re-imagining projects going on in Disney World. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster We’re seeing construction for new restaurants pop up around the resort, we saw one ride close FOREVER to be re-imagined, and we’ve seen some rides close for refurbishment. Well, one POPULAR ride in Disney World is about to close for a LENGTHY refurbishment. This is a reminder that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is set to close for a LONG refurbishment as of February 20th. That means you have exactly one week to ride the coaster before it’s unavailable to guests. ©Disney There is no reopening date yet, but when we spoke with a Cast Member, we were told that it would be closed until the summer of 2023. That means it will be down for at least several months. Entrance to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster The ride has been struggling recently — it’s been down a lot, including for several days in a row, so it’s likely the refurbishment will focus on whatever it is that has caused the closures. Back in 2022, we spoke with a Cast member who told us the ride hasn’t had a full refurbishment since the parks reopened in 2020, so it’s likely due it! Closed in July If you’re looking for another coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, though, head on over to Toy Story Land and hop on Slinky Dog Dash! When are you headed to Disney World next?

It’s still hard to believe that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. Fab Five celebrates 100 Years of Walt Disney Company! But think of all the movies, TV shows, theme parks, and memories the company has given us all. It’s almost overwhelming! Well, get ready to be like Riley in Inside Out and get all up in your emotions as you watch the company’s Super Bowl ad, which celebrates those 100 years in the most magical way possible. Disney CEO Bob Iger shared the Super Bowl ad on social media today. The video features snippets of classic Disney movies, modern Disney movies, upcoming Disney movies (like the live-action The Little Mermaid), and more! It also has some quotes by Walt Disney, and finishes with the “You made this dream come true.” Okay, we’re not crying, you’re crying!!! So here’s to another 100 years, Disney! We’re continuing to monitor all the Super Bowl ads (yes, we’re waiting on that new Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer), so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more!

How do you pack for colder weather in Florida? Let us know in the comments! The post 9 Unexpected Packing Essentials for Disney World first appeared on the disney food blog. View the full article

So you’re headed to Disney World this week? Hot cocoa weather is coming to Disney World Your planning is done, you’ve made your park pass reservations, you’ve checked park hours, your advance dining reservations are made, and all that’s left is to start packing for your trip. But before you start knocking off things on that packing list, are you packing the one thing you might not THINK to pack? One thing that we will recommend is keeping an eye on the weather when you visit Disney World. This time of the year can be WET (well, it might rain at least once during EVERY Disney World trip — that’s just how it usually works out), but it can also be COLD. You might not think it can get cold in Florida, but it DOES! It’s fuzzy sweater season We recently looked at the forecast for next week, and although the highs (low to upper 70s) seem pretty nice, it’s those mornings you’re going to have to look out for. The lows are in the 40s and 50s, and although Midwesterners might laugh at those temps, you would be surprised at just how cold that feels in Florida, where it’s almost always hot and humid. That damp cold will seep into your bones and keep you shivering if you’re not prepared. ©WESH So be sure to pack some warmer layers in your suitcase. Think hoodies, long-sleeve shirts that you can pare under t-shirts (or just long-sleeve shirts, in general), jackets, gloves, and caps (keeping your head warm will keep the rest of you warm). You can always strip those layers off once things warm up later in the day. A beanie will keep your head warm So add that to your packing list and you’ll be prepared for the next few days. Things will warm back up later in the week, so you won’t be cold during your WHOLE trip, but you’ll thank us later for the heads up.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news… but today our reminder to you is not so magical. Less than magical… If you start your day off with the caffeinated magic sold on Main Street, U.S.A. (or any other Starbucks) you’ll want to pay attention! If you frequent Starbucks often, you probably use the Starbucks app which doubles as a rewards program. These rewards have been awesome in the past, allowing customers to collect stars and get food and drinks for free! On February 13th, 2023, Starbucks will be updating their rewards program. The amount of stars needed to receive free food and beverages has DOUBLED for some items. Sadly we can’t resist a Starbucks trip Previously, customers got one star per $1 spent, or two stars per $1 spent on a preloaded Starbucks card. Before February 13th, you can get a hot coffee or tea, or a bakery item for 50 stars. For 150 stars, you could get a handcrafted drink, hot breakfast, or a parfait. Still our happy place! After February 13th, this system as we know it will be no more! It will now take 100 stars to get a hot tea, hot coffee, or bakery item. This will require guests to spend more money in order to get these things, but the good news is that iced coffees and iced teas will be added to this tier that requires 100 stars. ©Starbucks However, cold brews, lattes, and hot breakfast items will now require 200 stars, while lunch items will cost 300 stars! That’s $50-$100 more that must be spent in order to receive a free sandwich. Huh? Are we saddened by this change? A little. Will it stop us from going to Starbucks every morning? Probably not! We’ll still be having our morning Starbucks!

Although this is Disney World’s calm before the storm (the storm being spring break crowds), there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks right now! Tree of Life TRON Lightcycle / Run is now in previews with its first-of-a-kind Disney ride feature, adaptive seating, and on-ride photos. The Festival of the Arts is still happening in EPCOT (even though it’s almost over!). There are plenty of new delicious eats to try all over Disney World. Maybe that’s why we started to see the wait times go UP this week! After the holidays, the wait times decreased over time and then steadied for a few weeks. Now, we’ve noticed that the wait times are slowly starting to climb back up across the board. EPCOT Crowds One of our favorite tips for avoiding crowds is to rope drop or stay until park close (or both!). This is when we tend to see the wait times at popular rides go down and that’s when you’ll find the shortest waits! Nobody likes to wait in line, right? EPCOT To see which rides you should rope drop or wait until the end of the night to ride, we’ve put together a look at the average wait times in Disney World over the last week. Check it out! Magic Kingdom Kicking it off in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time again with 74 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 73 minutes, so the wait times have stayed pretty consistent Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 65 minutes, Jungle Cruise averaged 47 minutes, and Space Mountain averaged 44 minutes. After that, average wait times had Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 38 minutes,The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 31 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 28 minutes, and Pirates of the Caribbean at 26 minutes. Jungle Cruise After that, “it’s a small world” averaged 21 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin and The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini averaged 19 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid averaged 18 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant averaged 16 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway averaged 15 minutes, and Mickey’s PhilharMagic averaged 14 minutes. Barnstormer Next, Mad Tea Party averaged 12 minutes and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel averaged 11 minutes. The Enchanted Tiki Room, the Carousel of Progress, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, and the Liberty Square Riverboat all averaged 5 minutes. Carousel of Progress The Hall of Presidents, Country Bear Jamboree, and Tom Sawyer Island averaged no wait. Major CHANGE Comes to Magic Kingdom Stores EPCOT Moving on to EPCOT, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure continues to hold the longest average wait time in the park with 71 minutes, which is an increase compared to last week’s average of 69 minutes. Frozen Ever After had an average wait time of 66 minutes, which means the average wait time went up 1 minute on average since last week. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Next up is Test Track at 53 minutes, Soarin’ at 32 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 16 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 14 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 12 minutes. Mission Space Then, there is Journey into Imagination and Living with the Land at 11 minutes, The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 9 minutes, and Gran Fiesta Tour at 8 minutes. The Seas 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. PHOTOS: Get Evacuated off Journey Into Imagination With Figment in EPCOT With Us Hollywood Studios Next up, we’re heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios where Tower of Terror still has the highest average wait time of 99 minutes. Rise of the Resistance was the next highest with a 90 minute average wait time, followed by Slinky Dog Dash with an average wait time of 86 minutes. Tower of Terror Next, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith averaged 63 minutes, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway averaged 60 minutes, Toy Story Mania averaged 53 minutes, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run averaged 46 minutes. Millennium Falcon After that, Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 32 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue averaged 18 minutes, Walt Disney Presents averaged 17 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy averaged 13 minutes, and Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 10 minutes. 5 Things We’re MOST Excited To Try at Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Disney World Animal Kingdom Finally, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom, where Avatar Flight of Passage had the longest average wait time in all of Disney World this week with 104 minutes. This means the time went up again from the 96 minute average last week. Pandora After that, Na’vi River Journey at 67 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 41 minutes, Expedition Everest at 27 minutes, and DINOSAUR at 21 minutes. Expedition Everest It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 10 minutes and Triceratop Spin averaged 9 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time. Kali River Rapids closed for refurbishment on January 9th. 5 Places to Escape in Animal Kingdom When Your Anxiety Is Through the Roof Wait times are slowly started to creep back up overall in Disney World this week.

Okay, so who’s excited about the opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run in Disney World? ©Disney Magic Kingdom’s newest ride could be one of its most thrilling, with a super fast launch, a race through the Grid, and fun TRON details that make you feel immersed in the world of the Tron movies! Well, we just got a chance to ride it and we’re going to tell you EVERYTHING about the ride and, hopefully, answer any questions you may have! Quick note: we got to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run early thanks to Cast Member previews (we were invited as guests by a Disney World Cast Member). The Story of TRON Lightcycle / Run Okay, we’re going to get you caught up on the story of the TRON ride, but you will need a little knowledge of the TRON movies (don’t worry — they’re on Disney+ if you want to understand more about the setting of the ride). Sam Flynn, who is the main character in TRON: Legacy, has been opening up new gateways into the digital realm all over the world. The first is in Shanghai Disneyland where the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run ride is located. TRON: Legacy ©Disney The second portal is in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom, where guests can get on a Lightcycle to “launch into the Grid for a race through a dark computerized world.” TRON Lightcycle Run Billboard How fast are those Lightcycles? Well, they go up to 59 miles per hour (which still isn’t fast enough to catch up to Disney World’s FASTEST ride, Test Track). How To Ride There are only two ways to score a ride on TRON Lightcycle / Run when it opens. First, you can get a boarding pass on the My Disney Experience app to get access to the ride’s virtual queue. Disney has not announced times for when those boarding passes will be available, but if past rides are any indication, it will be 7AM and 1PM. Note that this is the way to ride for free. Virtual Queue system on My Disney Experience App You will also be able to grab an Individual Lighting Lane for the ride, which means you can pay to ride it. Spots for that will open up every morning at 7AM. There will NOT be a standby line for the attraction. Entrance As we mentioned, you’ll find TRON Lightcycle / Run in Tomorrowland. You’ll find it right next to Space Mountain and behind Tomorrowland Speedway. Just look for the ride’s sign. The ride’s entrance If you’re wanting to snag a photo, there’s a PhotoPass opportunity right at the entrance. The ride itself lasts a little over a minute — we’d compare the length of the ride to that of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. And we’re off! We hope this answers any questions you have about TRON Lightcycle / Run, but if you have others we didn’t cover, let us know! We’ll be covering the ride LIVE when it opens to the public on April 4th, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more! When are you headed to Disney World next?

We’re always scoping out great viewing locations for fireworks at Walt Disney World. When your day ends in the Magic Kingdom, it’s a fan tradition to stay for the magical fireworks. Playing until April 2, 2023, Disney Enchantment is a fireworks and projection show that debuted as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. While the show focuses on the park’s centerpiece — Cinderella Castle, the projections actually go ALL the way down Main Street, U.S.A.). We can’t wait for Happily Ever After to return to Magic Kingdom on April 3, 2023 with all-new projections! It’s a great display! We want to share some of our favorite fireworks spots at Magic Kingdom. After all, at the end of a Magic Kingdom day you just might be too tired to strategize, and that’s why we encourage you to plan ahead. Yes, we love Magic Kingdom fireworks from all of these various spots in and around Magic Kingdom, but there are absolutely some areas that are going to be the PERFECT viewing location for YOUR family. It’s up to you to decide which plan works best for your needs. You’ll want to know where you can watch this iconic show so that your evening ends in the most magical way possible. First, always check the Fireworks schedule before planning your Magic Kingdom evening. Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks It’s quite likely that you may be towing some tired kids or grandparents…or…maybe your own feet are worn out. Also, if you are shorter (like myself) or have small children, your ideal vantage point may not be from a congested, more popular area. Whether your goal is a castle-front view, a relaxing spot to unwind, or a quick glimpse as you head back to your Walt Disney World resort, we’ve got these favorite Magic Kingdom fireworks spots in mind. In front of Cinderella Castle Many Magic Kingdom guests find this location to be the most captivating. You’ll want to arrive (and stay in place) 60 to 90 minutes in advance and that means scheduling a restroom and/or snack break before staking your claim to the prime viewing locations in front of Cinderella’s Castle. Disney Enchantment While you’ll have a wonderful view of the castle’s projections, note that some of the pyrotechnics are better from a distance. Keeping that in mind, we offer the next recommendation. Stay updated on all of the TRON Lightcycle/Run News! Near the Partners Statue From here, the pyro above the castle will look stunning! You’ll have a great view of the entire sky above and behind Cinderella’s Castle. This is another spot that may require a significant time investment (1-2 hours of saving your spot). Fireworks crowds If you’re near the Partners Statue (it’s the copper statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse), your view should be very clear. While you’ll be bumping shoulders with other guests, you should be able to see most of the fireworks, projections, and Tinkerbell’s flight. Remember to avoid standing in the taped off walking paths as Cast Members keep these clear for pedestrian traffic. Choose your space wisely as sometimes Cast Members allow guests to fill these spots just before the show begins. While waiting for the fireworks, grab some popcorn! Plaza Gardens/Hub Grass Plaza Gardens and the Hub Grass areas are also great locations to take in a castle-front view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. We like that you can sit on the grass while waiting. Such a great view! Please note that sometimes these areas are roped off for dessert parties and private events, so always have a back-up plan! Are you looking for a special way to see the fireworks? Check out a Magic Kingdom dessert party! Middle of Main Street Stake out a spot in the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. where you’ll be able to enjoy ALL the projections as well as the fireworks above the castle. We suggest getting here at least 45 minutes to one hour ahead of time. The further away from Cinderella’s Castle, the less time you’ll need to spend waiting for the start of the show. The best view is actually a bit further down Main Street, U.S.A. Now, if you prefer not to be sharing shoulder-hugs with your fellow guests, we suggest heading to the flagpole area. While you’ll miss Tinkerbell, you should have a less chaotic, although distanced view of the show. Not only will you escape some of the bottleneck crowd issues occurring closer to the castle, but you’ll also have a head start when it comes time to exit the park. Those crowds at the ferry boat and monorail can be intense, especially when you’re tired. For refreshments, Casey’s Corner is found at the end of Main Street, U.S.A! Behind Cinderella Castle If you prefer to avoid gridlock situations, you might find alternate locations like this one more to your liking. Out of the way locations are a great option for kids as well as guests with mobility challenges. From Fantasyland, you’ll see the fireworks that are shot off from behind Be Our Guest Restaurant. We really enjoy hitting up a few attractions (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh!) while the crowds are all in front of the castle. Then, we find a spot to grab a last-minute snack and watch the show. Fireworks from behind the castle! If you don’t mind a more congested area, our suggestion is to try to be near Prince Charming Regal Carousel as you’ll still have some photos with the castle as a backdrop. There are a few nearby benches to sit on. Note that this location is especially crowded on holidays such as New Year’s Eve. After the show, you’ll have time to linger while the masses head to the exit. Use our helpful tips to get a reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table. On the PeopleMover There are some attractions that afford unique vantage points of the fireworks — one of our favorites is from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. End your day in a less chaotic way with some relaxing time off your feet on this “highway in the sky”. The views on the PeopleMover are the best! We think this is a perfect ending to a family day or a romantic date night. Plus, you might be able to sneak in a few other rides as the crowds lessen in the hour before the fireworks. Looking for a snack before your ride on the PeopleMover? Find out what The Lunching Pad is offering HERE! Ticket and Transportation Center Dock To the left of the monorail, you’ll find the Transporation and Ticket Center (TTC) Ferry Dock. Cast Members will ask you to stand along the walkway rather than directly on the dock. Due to the positioning of the sidewalk, you’ll have stellar views of the skies over the Magic Kingdom. Ferryboat Entrance And you’ll be back to your Disney resort before other guests have even made it aboard the ferry or monorail. If you are hungry, you’ll beat the crowds back to your resort and can easily grab a much-needed meal or snack. Another great option for fireworks-watching? From a BOAT! Read more about fireworks cruises HERE! California Grill Terrace If you don’t mind missing the projection part of the show, you can view the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the 15th floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. A signature dining restaurant, California Grill, offers an outdoor observation deck with stunning views. First, you’ll need to plan ahead by making an Advance Dining Reservation. Next, we recommend arriving early and requesting a window table. Remember, this is only a request. And if a table by the window is not available, plan to watch the fireworks from the outdoor deck. Any dinner at this special restaurant is a win-win! Oooooohh….Aaaaaahhhhh…….. California Grill dims their lights and pipes in the show’s music so that your view from your table or the balcony are memorable. Here’s the catch: only same-day guests who have dined at the restaurant can use the Observation Deck. What if you dined earlier in the evening? You can still watch the fireworks! Show your dinner receipt to the Cast Member at the elevator entrance and they’ll allow you to head up to the Observation Deck. Major Menu CHANGES Announced for California Grill in Disney World! Polynesian Beach Don’t want to spend money on a signature meal but looking for a place to watch the fireworks without the in-park crowds? Make your way to the Polynesian Village Resort’s beach. We especially like this location because you can also see the Electrical Water Pageant pre-show happen on the Seven Seas Lagoon! Beach The music is piped in, and, of course, there’s Pineapple Lanai serving up Dole Whip nearby. Tip: Find a spot near a speaker as the audio is played very low. Pineapple Lanai typically remains open until one hour after the evening’s fireworks spectacular in the Magic Kingdom! Plan your Magic Kingdom fireworks viewing carefully using our above suggestions for the best locations to watch the show! By doing so, you’ll have a great view of the fireworks while you’re at WDW and fantastic memories to take home with you. Whether you choose one of our favorite spots or discover one of your own, watching the fireworks show in the Magic Kingdom is a favorite activity for many Walt Disney World guests.

Can you believe it’s almost time for TRON to debut?! TRON TRON Lightcycle / Run officially opens in Magic Kingdom on April 4th, 2023, but Disney is hosting previews for select groups of people. We’ve seen teaser after teaser and we’ve been watching the construction for years, but it is TIME — we got to ride TRON! The unique seating on this ride has been a concern for many Disney fans wanting to go on the coaster. However, TRON Lightcycle / Run has adaptive seating and we are here to answer the BIG questions about it! What are the seats like? The regular TRON Lightcycle / Run seats are like sitting on a motorcycle, most similar to Flight of Passage in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. However, there is also an adaptive seating option for guests who may not be able to fit into the standard ride seats or have a disability that prevents them from comfortably riding in that style of seat. TRON Testing We got a look at the ride vehicles from riding the PeopleMover before, and now we got a close-up look at the seats. These adaptive ride vehicles are standard seats with a lap bar that comes down. Empty adaptive seating A test seat is located right before you enter the queue. We suggest you try it out if you have any concerns so that you’re prepared when you get to the actual ride vehicle. That way you can ask a Cast Member for an adaptive seat if you need it. The test seat doesn’t lock like the actual ride vehicle will, so there may be a few differences when you’re getting on the ride — you know yourself best so if you don’t feel comfortable, don’t be afraid to request the alternate seats.

If you’re a big Disney fan, you’ve probably noticed that the company is leaning pretty heavily into its intellectual property at the moment. Cinderella Castle They’re relying on big brands and franchises like Star Wars and Marvel to carry the Disney+ streaming service, and they’re bringing films like Moana, Frozen, and Guardians of the Galaxy prominently into the parks. And most of the time, we understand WHY they choose to feature the films that they do…but there’s one film that Disney CEO Bob Iger has mentioned frequently that we’re a little confused about. For those who’ve followed along with Disney news in the past couple of months, you may have heard one movie name over and over again — Zootopia. The 2016 film tells the story of a rabbit who wants to be a police officer in the big city of Zootopia. Along the way, she becomes friends with a common thief, and together they fight to uncover the corruption in their city. ©Disney It’s quite a charming movie, and it definitely wouldn’t be considered a “flop” for Disney by any means, but it has been included in recent fireworks shows, merchandise collections, and a series of big announcements since last year that leave us scratching our heads. The way Bob Iger talks about the movie is as if it’s on par with Frozen in terms of success and fandom — so is it? Zootopia’s Nick Wilde at Disneyland Resort First, let’s talk about all the places where Zootopia has been mentioned recently. One big place that comes to mind is back at the D23 Expo in September 2022, when the movie was mentioned as a possible addition to Animal Kingdom during the Blue Sky presentation. Concept art showed ideas for a themed land and matching attractions. Concept art of possible changes On top of that, Disney is bringing a Zootopia-themed land to Shanghai Disneyland. We’ve seen a glimpse of some of the state-of-the-art technology and animatronics, and there will be a new attraction as well. It’s set to open sometime in 2023. ©Disney And then recently, Disney announced that there are sequel movies in the works for Toy Story, Frozen, and Zootopia. We totally understand why Frozen and Toy Story would get new films (they’re major franchises!) but is Zootopia as popular? Why is it getting chosen? Zootopia pals! Well, it may not feel like Zootopia has quite the same pull as other films, but in reality, it’s not too far behind the box-office giants of Frozen and Frozen 2. To illustrate the point, here are the box office numbers for what various Disney movies grossed worldwide when released: Zootopia — $1.025 billion (2016) Moana — $643 million (2016) Coco — $807 million (2017) Frozen — $1.28 billion (2013) Frozen 2 — $1.45 billion (2019) Even Zootopia merch! So as you can see, it performed well above hits like Moana and Coco. But the popularity of the film is owed in large part to what it grossed overseas. Out of the total $1.025 billion, 66.7% was earned internationally, meaning that it raked in $684 million in those markets — more than Moana made in the same year total. Zootopia Shanghai Concept Art ©Disney Perhaps Iger’s goal is to reel in more international tourists to the domestic Disney parks. It’s probably a smart move, considering those guests tend to be heavy spenders when they visit. And of course, if the sequel film does well, it certainly wouldn’t hurt Disney to have another movie break the $1 billion barrier at the box office.
