It wouldn’t be a celebration of Disney history if no one acknowledged Mary Poppins! The iconic titular character from one of Disney’s most popular films can sometimes be seen inside the parks, and even has her own bakery on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland. We’re back at Jolly Holiday Right now Disney is celebrating its 100th Anniversary at the Disneyland resort, where guests can enjoy new nighttime shows, purchase collectibles, and try out lots of treats! Jolly Holiday Bakery, the Mary Poppins-themed locale for tasty snacks, is one spot where you can find 100th Anniversary items. You can view a FULL list of all of the 100th Anniversary treats in Disneyland here, but keep reading to see what we thought of these new snacks! On Main Street, U.S.A. stands a beautiful Edwardian building with fun details fans of the film will appreciate, like penguin stained glass windows. If you are in the mood for a sweet treat or a spot of tea Jolly Holiday Bakery and Cafe is the place to go! We’ve had some epic treats at Jolly Holiday! For the 100th Anniversary, this Main Street staple has introduced two new menu items. First up is the Platinum Trifle for $8.49, which features layers of chocolate cookie crumbles, cheesecake, cherry compote, chocolate cookie mousse, and crème fraîche chantilly with crunch pearls and a chocolate piece. Okay, so here’s the photo Disney posted when this treat was announced: ©Disney And here’s what it looks like. Something is missing! That’s right, the chocolate piece/medallion is missing. Instead, we just got the decorative pearls. Interesting. Um…where’s our pretty medallion? Obviously, we ate it anyway because that’s what we do. We liked the flavor of the cherry compote — it tasted like fresh cherries and not artificial flavoring. The chocolate cookie mousse was SO rich, but gave us cookies and cream flavor vibes. Still tasty The cheesecake added even more sweetness to the dessert and combined, it made the whole thing taste decadent. If you’re not looking for a super rich snack, this might not be for you. It’s very rich You can also find this dessert at Galactic Grill in Disneyland and Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Café, and Pacific Wharf Café at Disney California Adventure. You can also find the Mr. Banks Shortbread Tart here, which honors the patriarch of 17 Cherry Tree Lane. Caramel and chocolate ganache are included within a shortbread tart, with purple-colored white chocolate mousse, sea salt, edible silver stars, and silver crunch pearls for $6.49. However, we didn’t get a chance to try it yet, because it was sold out — but we’ll be back soon with a review, we promise!

Why are our tongues stained purple? Look at that medallion! Well, that’s because it’s time for Disneyland’s big celebration for the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. So we’re AT Disneyland checking out the new nighttime shows, all kinds of celebratory souvenirs, and — as you might expect, FOOD! Here’s the thing — a LOT of that food is purple, including a snack we’re trying RIGHT NOW. Okay, let’s dig in. Disneyland is KNOWN for its amazing churros, so we’re going to try a SPECIAL churro, the Disney100 Churro, which is a classic Disneyland Churro rolled in cherry sugar served with white icing and topped with purple and silver pearls. It’s purple and silver You can pick up this snack for $6.75 at the Town Square and Tomorrowland Churro Carts in Disneyland. So what did we think? So here’s the thing — we really didn’t get a lot of the cherry flavor, although there is still a HINT of its sweetness when you bite into the churro. When you dip the churro in the icing, you get a sweet vanilla taste. The dip However, the churro we got wasn’t fresh, which means it was kinda’ cold and stale. Generally, churros are served when they’re still warm, which makes them much better. So we don’t know what happened there, but we would’ve preferred those flavors on a fresher churro. We’ll be trying ALL the 100th anniversary treats in Disneyland today, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more reviews!

We’ve had another BIG week of Disney news! TRON Sign Not only did the 100th anniversary celebration kick off in Disneyland, but we got some major announcements for TRON Lightcycle / Run which is set to open on April 4th, 2023. You may think this time between the holidays and spring break/TRON’s opening is slow, but the wait times are telling us otherwise. While the wait times are not incredibly long like they were during the holiday season, there are still some long wait times that might convince you to buy Genie+. ©Disney Genie+ is Disney’s paid skip-the-line system that allows you to book a time to use the Lightning Lane for a faster wait time. This can be a huge time-saver at popular attractions and at parks like Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom where there are a lot of popular rides. Genie+ introduced flexible pricing in 2022, so the price of Genie+ depends on the day — we’ve seen the price fluctuate between $15 and $29 per person per day. You need the My Disney Experience app to use Genie+ So should you buy Genie+ in Disney World right now? Take a look at these wait times and decide for yourself! Magic Kingdom We’re starting at Magic Kingdom, where Splash Mountain had the longest average wait time by far with 106 minutes during its last week in Disney World. The ride has now closed and construction has already begun for the transformation to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! Splash Mountain Construction Seven Dwarfs Mine Train typically has the longest wait time in this park, but this week the average wait time here was 73 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 74 minutes, so the average stayed about the same! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 62 minutes, Jungle Cruise averaged 44 minutes, and Space Mountain averaged 43 minutes. After that, average wait times had Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Haunted Mansion at 38 minutes, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 30 minutes, Astro Orbiter and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 29 minutes, and Pirates of the Caribbean at 26 minutes. Pirates of the Caribbean Following those times, “it’s a small world” and Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 19 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid averaged 18 minutes, The Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini averaged 17 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Tomorrowland Speedway averaged 15 minutes, and then Mickey’s PhilharMagic averaged 14 minutes. Tomorrowland Speedway Next, Mad Tea Party and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel averaged 10 minutes. The Enchanted Tiki Room, the Carousel of Progress, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, and the Liberty Square Riverboat all averaged 5 minutes. Riverboat The Hall of Presidents, Country Bear Jamboree, and Tom Sawyer Island averaged no wait. Why You Should NOT Go To Magic Kingdom On Tuesday EPCOT Over in EPCOT, the ride with the longest average wait time was Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, with an average wait time of 71 minutes, which is a decrease compared to last week’s average of 81 minutes. Frozen Ever After had an average wait time of 66 minutes, which means the average wait time went up 2 minutes since last week. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Next up is Test Track at 50 minutes, Soarin’ at 31 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 16 minutes, Turtle Talk with Crush at 15 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 11 minutes. Mission Space Then, there was Journey into Imagination and Living with the Land at 9 minutes, The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 8 minutes, and Gran Fiesta Tour at 7 minutes. Journey Into Imagination with Figment 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. Something Has Gone MISSING from EPCOT Hollywood Studios Last week, it was a close call for the highest wait time in Hollywood Studios, but there is no question who had the highest times this week — Tower of Terror had an average wait time of 91 minutes. Rise of the Resistance was the next highest with a 78 minute average wait time, followed by Slinky Dog Dash with an average wait time of 77 minutes. Tower of Terror Next, Toy Story Mania and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway averaged 53 minutes, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith averaged 52 minutes, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run averaged 41 minutes. Millennium Falcon After that, Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 29 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue averaged 19 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy and Walt Disney Presents averaged 14 minutes, and Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 10 minutes. COMPLETE LIST of What’s Available During After Hours Events at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Animal Kingdom And last but not least, let’s visit Animal Kingdom, where Avatar Flight of Passage had the longest average wait time of 90 minutes. This means the time dropped from the 105 minute average from last week. Flight of Passage Then, there was Na’vi River Journey at 64 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 40 minutes, Expedition Everest at 25 minutes, and DINOSAUR at 17 minutes. Expedition Everest Triceratop Spin and It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 10 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time. Kali River Rapids closed for refurbishment on January 9th. The Complete Guide to Eating at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Overall, Genie+ may still be necessity depending on your group’s priorities. If you want to get on as many rides as possible, we recommend using a mix of tips like rope dropping and Genie+ Lightning Lanes to get the most out of your Disney day.

Yesterday was an important day — it’s the day when we ate our WEIGHT in purple food in Disneyland. Refreshment Corner Okay, actually, it’s a little more important than that! This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company, and Disneyland is celebrating in a BIG way with new nighttime shows, all kinds of collectibles, and (of course) LOTS of food! That celebration is officially underway, so we’re heading over to the parks to enjoy some special food! Ready to snack? Alrighty then! We’re headed over to Refreshment Corner in Disneyland, where you’ll find the Violet Pretzel, which is a cream cheese-filled pretzel drizzled with salted vanilla cream and lavender sugar. Well, that sounds interesting enough. Violet Pretzel You can pick up this snack for $7.59. So what does it taste like? Well, it’s basically just a normal delicious cream cheese-filled Disney pretzel. We enjoyed the vanilla cream drizzle but didn’t really taste any lavender. Overall, if you’re a fan of cream cheese-filled Disney pretzels, we recommend this treat! Yum! There’s also a new 100th Anniversary drink here — and yes, it’s ALSO purple. It’s the Sparkling Grape for $5.79, which is Sprite with grape syrup topped with a candy strip. So how is this PURPLEY drink? Sparkling Grape If you enjoy Sprite and a little bit of grape flavor, you’ll enjoy this drink! The grape flavor isn’t super strong, and we enjoyed that the drink wasn’t overly artificially sweet. However, if you’re not a fan of grapes or Sprite, this likely isn’t the drink for you. VERY Purple!

Over the last three years, it seems there have been more changes at Disney than we can count! Splash Mountain’s Closing Day With rides and attractions leaving forever (goodbye, Splash Mountain ), new ones arriving, and several changes made when it comes to park and attraction reservation systems, Disney park-goers are highly opinionated on several new additions (and take-aways.) Among the most controversial is Disney’s new park pass reservation system! We asked YOU for your opinion on the matter — and your responses were just as polarized as we expected. Park Reservation System on January 3, 2023 ©Disney Starting in 2020, Disney required guests with park passes to make reservations to specific parks prior to their arrival. Park reservations were available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so the spontaneity of a Disney trip became a thing of the past. Guests could no longer enter a park of their choosing the day of their visit, and many began grabbing reservations to whatever park was available at the time and then park hopping to their desired park after 2 PM — which left them feeling like half their day was spent merely waiting. You can take the monorail to Park Hop from Magic Kingdom to EPCOT. When we asked our readers whether or not Disney should keep the current park reservation system, many of you shared that it needed to GO! DFB reader Marc agreed that the reservation system should be done away with and said, “It’s gotten out of hand. They have ruined the magic and spontaneity of park hopping!” Jane agreed and said “You can’t be spontaneous.” Guests see more crowds when using the monorail once Park Hop is available. While many others agree with Marc and Jane that the park pass reservation system causes a loss of that magical spontaneity, several other readers found that the system made no difference. Mark, another DFB reader said, “Doesn’t matter. If you know how to plan, [park reservations] make no difference.” Ellen agreed with those who didn’t mind the system and said, “Keep it. It’s not hard and helps even out the crowds.” Not too bad! It seems that many of you don’t mind the reservation system because of the fact that the crowds are more evenly distributed throughout the four parks, especially on days when special events and festivals are taking place. However, even those of you who don’t mind the reservation system DO mind the park hopping hours. Park Hopping Line at Disneyland Guests with eligible tickets are able to park hop beginning at 2 PM each day. Tristan, another DFB reader said, “I don’t mind the park reservation but the park hopping not till 2 PM has got to go. Even if they make it 12 noon it would be better, in my opinion.” Several agreed with Tristan, saying Disney should keep the park reservation system but allow eligible park guests to hop to a different park earlier in the day. This way, crowds would still be evenly distributed and the old spontaneity of a trip to Disney would remain. Many of you feel that an earlier park hop time would allow you to do more with your day in the parks. Evenly distributed reservations = lower crowds ! We know that the park reservation system and park hopping can be frustrating at times, but it doesn’t have to be! Here at DFB, we try to make your trip much easier by explaining how the park reservation system works, how to use Genie+, and even make advance dining reservations!

We’ve got big news coming out of Disneyland. ©Disney Back in June 2022, Disneyland’s All-American College Band finally returned for the first time after the 2020 pandemic closure. If you’re a big fan of seeing this band perform in the park, we’ve got some bad news. Disney has just announced that the All-American College Band is currently on a hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Many guests and fans in the comments are sad about this announcement, saying this unique program must continue to give musicians the opportunities it does. ©Disney It’s been less than a year since the band returned to Disneyland, and we’re really hoping this hiatus doesn’t last for long and will be back soon. ©Disney If you’re visiting Disneyland soon, be sure to try some of the new 100th Anniversary treats, and don’t miss out on loads of new anniversary merchandise as well.

On January 22nd Splash Mountain ferried its last guests, and we are saying goodbye to Magic Kingdom nighttime spectacular Disney Enchantment, which will end on April 2nd.

Several spots closed during the pandemic and have yet to reopen, while others are closing to make way for new and improved options! Keep reading to find out if any of your favorite spots made the list. Closures Magic Kingdom In Magic Kingdom there are a few places you won’t be able to grab a bite to eat anytime soon. While Be Our Guest is currently open, guests can no longer take advantage of their quick-service breakfast. The breakfast menu disappeared from Disney’s website during the pandemic and so far has not returned. Be Our Guest During the height of the 50th anniversary celebrations we did notice Be Our Guest had a special brunch menu served from 10:00AM to 12:00PM that included breakfast favorites like a Fluffy Savory Egg Omelet and Mickey Waffles! These items aren’t included on the menu on Disney’s website, so you may want to call before hand to see if these brunch offerings are still available. The next two locations are technically not permanently closed but very rarely open. First, we have Aunt Polly’s Dockside Inn on Tom Sawyer Island. You may have noticed this abandoned-looking restaurant as you traipsed around the island and wondered why Disney has kept this empty location for so long! While Aunt Polly’s is closed more often than not, this Magic Kingdom dining spot is their secret to handling massive park crowds. Aunt Polly’s Dockside Inn When the park is filled to the brim with guests, like around Spring Break or the winter holidays, Aunt Polly’s dusts off its tables and welcomes diners! Another similar spot in Magic Kingdom is Tomorrowland Terrace. This counter service spot is usually only open during the busy season, but you might find yourself seated here for the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Viewing Parties. Tomorrowland Terrace Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom managed to make it through the past couple of years relatively unscathed when it comes to dining closures. All of their major restaurants are still open, but one snack cart has closed and might be the beginning of a larger transformation in the park. Over in DinoLand U.S.A. there used to be a small concessions trailer appropriately named Dino Diner. This charming little trailer served up standard park eats like hot dogs and churros along with more unique options like Corn Chip Pie. Dino Diner The future of DinoLand U.S.A. is uncertain. Former attraction Primeval Whirl has been dismantled, and at last year’s D23 Expo Disney announced some potential ideas for re-theming the area. Whatever happens to this section of Animal Kingdom, we hope it brings even more dining options! EPCOT As we approach the 3-year anniversary of the park closure in 2020, almost all of the restaurants that were closed in EPCOT have reopened — all but one that is! Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion is still closed with no word on when it will reopen. Since closing, the empty restaurant has been used as a relaxation station, lounge, pretty much everything but dining! Restaurant Marrakesh Hopefully Restaurant Marrakesh will return to its former glory! For the time being, if you’re in EPCOT and hankering for some Moroccan eats you can head over to Spice Road Table, a tapas-style table service restaurant. Hollywood Studios In Pixar Place there used to be a little kiosk called the Neighborhood Bakery where you could get popular snacks like Mickey pretzels and popcorn as well as the famous Num Num Cookie. Unfortunately this snack bar is no longer open! Neighborhood Bakery The kiosk originally opened during An Incredible Celebration at Pixar Place and at first was the only place in Disney World where you could find some of these Pixar-themed snacks that originated at Pixar Pier in Disneyland. Now that this spot is closed, you can still get your Num Num Cookie fix at the nearby Market near Toy Story Land. Resorts Closures have impacted resort dining even more than in the parks themselves. Over at the BoardWalk, plenty of spots have closed to make way for new locations during its overhaul. The ESPN Club, a sports-themed dining experience, closed in 2022 to make way for the new Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. ESPN Club Another BoardWalk spot that remains closed is the Funnel Cake Kiosk. This spot shows as “temporarily unavailable” on Disney’s website, so hopefully it will reopen soon! Funnel Cake Stand Last on the BoardWalk is a location that is still open but missing a popular dining service. Like Be Our Guest, Trattoria al Forno used to have a breakfast event that they are no longer offering. Their Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast was a character dining experience with Disney couples, including Flynn and Rapunzel, and Ariel and Prince Eric. Breakfast dining is still available, but it’s definitely not the same. Did you know the Polynesian Village Resort used to offer dinner and a show? The Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show allowed guests to attend a luau with hula, drumming, fire dancing, and of course tons of all-you-care-to-enjoy food. In March of 2022 Disney announced the show was closing permanently with no plans for a replacement. Spirit of Aloha At the Grand Floridian Resort, another deluxe resort, quite a few eateries are no longer with us! Another casualty of the closure, 1900 Park Fare was a table service restaurant where you could meet characters like Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland at their Supercalifragilistic Breakfast and Cinderella and her Prince Charming during the Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner. They also had a special event for younger children called the Wonderland Tea Party. It’s sad to see a spot closed that had so much character interaction! Disney hasn’t announced a permanent closure, so there is hope for 1900 Park Fare. 1900 Park Fare One of the reasons why guests resort hop is to try out different dining options and experiences. One such experience that has remained closed is the Afternoon Tea service at the Grand Floridian. Their Garden View Tea Room was the perfect setting for a lovely spot of tea, where guests could enjoy British tea packages while gazing out at the outdoor gardens. For the time being this tea room remains closed. Tea time at the Grand Flo! At the Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Cape Town Lounge and Wine Bar is still closed. Lounges are a great place to rest or enjoy a drink as you wait for your table at a nearby restaurant, like Jiko. If you couldn’t get a table, you could still order from Jiko’s menu and enjoy your food by the bar, which is one of our favorite things about lounges and why we’re disappointed Cape Town is currently unavailable. We are still holding out hope it will reopen! Cape Town Lounge Our last resort dining location is another spot that closed to make way for a new addition. The Fresh Mediterranean Market at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts had a variety of foods, including Spanish, Italian, and Greek cuisine. Guests could enjoy a buffet breakfast or sit down for a table service lunch. Now, Fresh Mediterranean Market has closed and will be replaced with Rosa Mexicano sometime this year. We don’t know all of the details about this new restaurant, but Disney has promised an “elevated fiesta dining experience” with 100 varieties of tequila and agave-based spirits! Fresh Mediterranean Market Refurbishments EPCOT While not permanently closed, Tokyo Dining in EPCOT is undergoing refurbishments at the moment and won’t be seating customers for some time. When it reopens (the expected timeline is summer of 2023), guests can dine on fresh sushi and sashimi. Tokyo Dining is also an excellent location to watch evening fireworks presentations because of its view of World Showcase Lagoon! Tokyo Dining Resorts Another spot currently undergoing refurbishment is Narcoossee’s at the Grand Floridian. This is an excellent spot for when you’d like to have a nicer meal without committing to the full fanciness of something like Victoria and Albert’s. Known for their specialty seafood and tasty steaks, Narcoossee’s also has views of the Seven Seas Lagoon, and you can catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the dining room. The refurbishment promises an “enhanced experience” upon reopening in 2023. We are eager to see what’s in store! Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals.

Will you be in Disney World next week? Animal Kingdom If so, you’ll be arriving at a really good time. The weather won’t be too hot (although we can’t promise it won’t get a little chilly!). You don’t have to worry about marathon weekend crowds (because that’s over — for now). Plus you’ll be able to check out the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But BEFORE you go, you will need to know about park hours and the park pass reservation availability. So we’re going to get you up to speed on both, starting with park hours. Magic Kingdom Park Hours Magic Kingdom will be open from 9AM-11PM on January 29th and 30th and from 8AM to 4:30PM on January 31st. ©Disney The park will be open from 9AM-11PM on February 1st, 3rd, and 4th and from 8AM to 10PM on February 2nd. ©Disney Guests can enjoy Extended Evening Hours on February 1st from 11PM-1AM. EPCOT Park Hours The park hours for EPCOT are from 9AM-9PM on January 29th-31st, with Extended Evening Hours on January 30th from 9PM-11PM. ©Disney EPCOT’s hours from February 1st-4th are also 9AM-9PM. ©Disney Don’t forget that you can park hop as of 2PM. Hollywood Studios Park Hours In Hollywood Studios, park hours are from 8:30AM-9PM on January 29th-31st. ©Disney Park hours for Hollywood Studios remain the same on February 1st-4th: 8:30AM to 9PM. ©Disney Remember if you’re a Disney World hotel guest, you can enter the parks 30 minutes before the official opening time with Early Theme Park Entry. Animal Kingdom Park Hours Park hours for Animal Kingdom are from 8AM-7PM on January 29th and 9AM-7PM on January 30th-31st. ©Disney Hours are from 9AM-7PM on February 1st and 2nd, 8AM-7PM on February 2nd, and 8AM-8PM on February 4th. ©Disney Now let’s take a look at park pass availability for all four parks. Park Pass Reservation Availability Park pass reservation availability depends on if you have theme park tickets, are a Disney World hotel guest, or are Annual Passholders. For visitors with Theme Park Tickets, all four parks are available from January 29th-31st. ©Disney This is also the case for February 1st-4th. ©Disney All four parks are also available for those staying in Select Resort Hotels for January 29th-31st. ©Disney February 1st-4th is also all in the green (meaning all four parks are available). ©Disney Disney World uses a different calendar to track park pass availability for Annual Passholders. For the IncrediPass, park passes are available for all four parks from January 29th-February 4th. ©Disney Those with a Sorcerer Pass also have availability for all four parks from January 29th-February 4th. ©Disney Guests with a Pirate Pass have NO blockout dates and there’s availability for all four parks from January 29th-February 4th. ©Disney Finally, guests with a Pixie Dust Pass have blockout dates on January 29th and February 4th. However, all four parks are available from January 30th-February 3rd. ©Disney That’s everything you need to know about next week’s park hours and park pass availability in Disney World. If you ARE visiting Disney World next week, though, make sure you make those park pass reservations as soon as you can!

Curtain Call in Magic Kingdom You know who you are — you’ll spend a full day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Toy Story Land, riding Alien Swirling Saucers, Slinky Dog Dash, and Toy Story Mania over and over! Maybe you even eat all your meals at Woody’s Lunch Box. We bet you also collect fun Toy Story merchandise — if you do, we’ve got a pair of ears that feature two RARE Toy Story 4 characters! Here’s the thing, though — you’ll have to leave Hollywood Studios and head to Magic Kingdom to pick up these ears, which we found at Curtain Call. But without further ado, here ‘ya go — Ducky and Bunny Ears. Can you EVEN? Ducky and Bunny! We previously spotted these ears in Disneyland AND online, but they’ve made their way east! Just look at how fuzzy they are. TOO CUTE. One side represents Ducky and the other represents Bunny, and that side even has bunny ears. It all comes together with a fuzzy green bow. SOOOOO fuzzy If you can’t get to Disney World, don’t worry — you can grab them online, too, for $34.99. Buy the Ducky and Bunny Fuzzy Ears We also spotted some Sulley Ears, that are done up in Sulley’s colors. We also previously saw these in Disneyland (although they are not currently available online). SULLEY! They even have Sulley’s horns! These ears are also $34.99. They look so soft We’ll keep an eye out for even more fun new pairs of ears, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

One of our favorite money-saving Disney tips is about to get a price increase! Art of Animation Lobby We know that the cost of a Disney vacation can add up fast. That’s why we’re constantly on the lookout for ways to save money on big expenses like hotels, food, and merch. But one of our favorite ways to save money — and luggage space — is about to get a price hike. Did you know that you can get groceries delivered to your Disney hotel?? Grocery Delivery That’s right, guests can place delivery orders through services like Amazon Fresh, Walmart, InstaCart, and more to have all of their grocery essentials delivered right to their hotel! In fact, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort even added delivery lockers last year to make the process that much more simple. Smart Lockers at All-Star Music Getting groceries delivered is one of our favorite ways to save money on items that are super marked up in Disney — like water, snacks, and over-the-counter medications — AND save space in our suitcases! But if your delivery service of choice is Amazon Fresh, beware — the minimum order amount for free delivery is about to get a HUGE bump. Everyday items are expensive in Disney Currently, Amazon Prime members are eligible for free grocery deliveries on orders above $35, with the exception of New York, where it’s $50. But beginning on February 28th, the minimum order amount for free grocery delivery will be increased to $150. Dasani Once the change takes place, customers who place Amazon Fresh orders of less than $150 will be charged between $3.95 and $9.95, depending on the order amount. The delivery fee tiers will be $3.95 for orders between $100-$150, $6.95 for orders of $50 to $100, and $9.95 for orders under $50. ©Amazon If grocery delivery is also one of your favorite Disney money-saving hacks and Amazon Fresh is your service of choice, make sure you’ve got all of your essentials included in your orders once this change takes place so you don’t need to place several smaller orders that rack up delivery fees! You can also check out other grocery delivery services to see whether the delivery fee for your order amount is less with another provider. ©Kroger We’ll continue to be on the lookout for more news that could impact your Disney planning and budget, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates!

Lots of big technology changes have been taking place in Disney World over the past few years, and we’re adding another to the list! Hey, Disney! We’ve seen the rollout of things like MagicMobile, My Disney Experience, MagicBand+, and Genie+, but now Disney World is in the process of bringing “Hey, Disney!” to hotel rooms across the property. The service, which works with Alexa on Amazon Echo devices, might be available for you on your next vacation, and we’re uncovering some of its coolest features and secrets! Restocking Amenities For starters, one thing that you may find VERY useful that Hey, Disney! can do for you is restock your hotel amenities. You can simply say “Hey, Disney! Can we have some extra towels?” to get more sent up to your room! Hey, Disney! Requests will work for other things like blankets, pillows, and toiletries as well, so don’t hesitate to ask if you’re out of something you need. No more calling the front desk or flagging down a housekeeping cart! Theme Park Information Heading to the parks during your stay? Hey, Disney! can answer a bunch of questions about the theme parks. Simply ask what time EPCOT opens or when the fireworks are happening at Magic Kingdom to get started on planning your day before you even leave your room. Hi, Mickey! These are questions that you can find the answers to in the My Disney Experience app, but sometimes it’s just easier to ask the Alexa device and get your answer ASAP. Transportation Details If you’re wondering when you can catch the next bus to the parks, Hey, Disney! can help with that as well. Simply ask about whichever park bus you’re planning on riding, and you’ll get an estimated departure time for the shuttle from your hotel. Hey, Disney! Will Be Able to Answer Some Helpful Questions This’ll help minimize waiting at your resort bus stop — you’ll know if it’s time to kick things into gear or if you have time to leisurely make your way outside. Weather And like many Alexa devices, you can ask about the weather! Temperatures in Florida can vary drastically in the winter, and in the summer, you’ll definitely want to be prepared for that rain forecast. Hey, Disney! Sometimes it’s hard to tell what to really expect from the weather when that Florida sun is shining outside your window, so this will make sure that you get dressed for maximum comfort. Magical Bonus Features And finally, we’ve got to talk about some of the bonus features that are just for fun! Hey, Disney! will feature a variety of character voices from Star Wars, Pixar, The Muppets, and more. So you might get the weather from Olaf or hear the Wookie roar of Chewbacca. How fun! Hey, Disney! Characters You can also ask your virtual assistant to tell you a joke, play Disney trivia, or play a soundscape that transports you into the worlds of your favorite characters. There is a whole collection of Disney-themed bedtime stories as well. It can even tell jokes! “Magic Moments” will let you and your little one go on fun adventures with your favorite characters, and you might find that you get special messages from some of those characters in your inbox throughout your visit. All in all, there are more than a THOUSAND “magical interactions” that you can discover! Magic Moments Currently, Hey, Disney! is available only at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, with a phased introduction planned at the other Disney World hotels. You’ll be able to mute and unmute the device in your hotel room as needed, and eventually, MagicBand+ will be able to interact with the kiosk in your room. We’re excited to check out Hey, Disney! more in the future, so stay tuned to DFB for more details as it’s launched throughout the resorts.

How often do you rely on Disney World transportation? Monorail at EPCOT It certainly makes things convenient just to be able to hop on a bus, the Monorail, the Skyliner, or a boat to get to where you’re going, right? But what happens when one of those is down? Today, TWO of those modes of transportation are down! Okay, so we already told you about the Skyliner being closed resort-wide for refurbishment. But today, another mode of transportation, the Monorail, is also closed — at least at EPCOT. When we arrived at EPCOT this morning, we saw signs alerting us to this closure. The EPCOT Monorail is down We spoke with a Cast Member who told us that the Monorail is expected to be closed at EPCOT ALL day, so if you were planning on using it to get around from there, you’ll have to make alternate plans. We were told that guests traveling from EPCOT to Magic Kingdom would be able to get there via bus. These things DO happen occasionally, so it’s important to have an alternate plan for transportation if you need it. If you don’t want to take a bus, you can always pay for a rideshare to get from EPCOT to Magic Kingdom. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the situation and let you know if and when the Monorail at EPCOT becomes available again. So stay tuned to DFB for more. When are you headed to Disney World next?

Are you planning a trip to Disney World in March? Echo Lake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios To be honest, ANY time of year feels like a good time to be at Disney World, but at certain times of year you may encounter problems — like crowds, hurricanes, or other things that can affect your trip. So we’re here today with a word of warning about a specific problem you might encounter in March at certain hotels. All-Star Resorts March is the start of spring, the start of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and the start of … spring break. And with spring break comes LOTS of school trips to Disney World! It is absolutely fun for high school sports teams, dance and cheer teams, bands, choirs, and other groups to come to Disney World to compete or perform. It is perhaps less fun for a family trying to rest up for their big day at Hollywood Studios to be staying in a hotel room near seven rooms filled with giddy teens. All Star Sports Resort! And that’s why we want to take this moment to tell you — or remind you — that MANY of these students groups who travel over spring break stay in the All-Star Resorts. Those are three of Disney’s value hotels — All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, and All-Star Sports. These hotels have fun theming, nice pools, and …cheaper rates, which is why so many groups stay there. Wide World of Sports at Diseny World is hosting a huge event — Disney Spring Training — during spring break season this year, which will bring lots of baseball and softball teams to Orlando. ESPN Wide World of Sports And that’s a great thing for the kids, but if you’re planning a stay at an All-Star Resort, it may not feel like quite so great a thing. We recommend trying to change your reservation to another hotel — such as Pop Century — if you’re concerned about noise during your March stay!

There are some great eats hiding just a short distance away from Magic Kingdom in Disney World! Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground Over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, you can check out restaurants like Trail’s End and the fan-favorite Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue. Now, one of those spots is going to CLOSE for a while and then reopen in an all-new way! The Trail’s End Restaurant at Fort Wilderness is going to close for refurbishment this coming spring. It will reopen later this year as “a marketplace concept with expanded quick service options.” The table service option will no longer be offered, according to Scott Gustin. Trail’s End Restaurant Currently, Trail’s End serves family-style skillets for breakfast and dinner (as opposed to the spot’s traditional buffet). They’re also serving anot-so-little something called the Covered Wagon Sundae! Breakfast at Trail’s End in 2021 The nearby P&J’s Southern Takeout (also known as Trail’s End To-Go) offers takeaway meals from a counter inside the same building that houses Trail’s End.

In fairy tales, Goldilocks may have been the one eating all the porridge, but this restaurant is for hungry bears only! Hungry Bear Restaurant 2023 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company, and Disneyland is celebrating in a BIG way with new nighttime shows, all kinds of collectibles, and (of course) LOTS of food! You can take a FULL look at all of the 100th Anniversary treats in Disneyland here, but right now we’re testing out the new eats at Hungry Bear Restaurant. Will this meal end up being just right? Keep reading to find out! In Critter Country there’s a spot where all the creatures prefer to dine, and that’s Hungry Bear Restaurant! This restaurant is home to standard American fares like chicken sandwiches and burgers. The new 100th Anniversary items definitely fit the theme; on the menu, you can now find a Potato & Cheddar Cheeseburger and Lemon Chiffon Pie. Let’s start with the burger. Potato & Cheddar Cheeseburger The new Potato & Cheddar Cheeseburger boasts a 1/3 lb angus chuck patty with green chile and bacon cheddar sauce with spicy crispy potato planks on a brioche bun and can be purchased for $15.49. Look at those crispy potato patties! The burger patty was juicy and flavorful, but the stars of this burger were the potato planks. They were like crispy, spicy hash browns on top of our burger and the cheese was nice and melty on top. You know how much we love cheeeeeese! The bun held up nicely to this flavorful burger and had a great crunch from being slightly toasted. Potato & Cheddar Cheeseburger We didn’t have any complaints with this burger, but it was actually pretty spicy, so keep that in mind if you’re not a fan of spicy food! Overall it was really good — even Mickey is eyeballing our food. Let’s move on to the sweets! Lemon Chiffon Pie For dessert, Disney promised a classic lemon chiffon pie with graham cracker crust topped with vanilla chantilly cream for $7.99. Let’s see how they measured up! Lemon Chiffon Pie We thought this was also pretty good! The pie was served chilled and was sweet but well balanced with the tartness of the lemon. As a chiffon pie, we would have liked this to be a touch on the lighter side — but it hit the spot nonetheless. The chantilly cream on top was nice and light in texture and had a rich vanilla taste that we really enjoyed. The chantilly was nice and light! Overall this pie was a really nice, light way to end our meal. Fans of lemon will probably really enjoy this, but if you don’t love citrus in your desserts, you should probably skip this one.

If you’re looking for unique and interesting snacks, Disney is the place for you. Disneyland Park We’re constantly finding fun snacks in the parks, and this might be one of our most fun finds yet! But get ready– because this tasting experience was truly a roller coaster. If you’re at Disneyland, you can find the Pepperoni Pizza Dip at the snack cart just to the left of Sleeping Beauty Castle for $5.49. Basically, it’s all you could dream of for a pizza — but condensed into a dipping sauce and served with freshly toasted bread! It’s made with a blend of cheeses, marinara sauce, and pepperoni. Drooling at this ingredients list It looks pretty tasty! The cheese and marinara mixture is topped with more melted cheese and bits of pepperoni. The cheese forms a delicious-looking gooey topping for the sauce. This bread is CAMERA. READY. Here’s where things get weird. When we dipped into the sauce and got past the cheese, things looked…interesting. We’ll be honest — it looks pretty gross. However, we committed to the taste test and tried a bite. We won’t say what this looks like… This snack did not disappoint! The pizza dip is actually delicious and we ended up being obsessed with this snack. It sort of reminded us of the school lunch pizza from our elementary school days in the best way possible.

It’s no surprise that one of our favorite ways of exploring Disney World is to go on the hunt for new treats! Primo Piatto And Disney’s Riviera Resort is so good at tempting us with decadent eats. From the top-tier character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace to the seasonal offerings at Petit Cafe, this resort is filled with good food. Today, we found a new surprise at Primo Piatto, a quick-service restaurant that serves up some tasty food in a pinch, and it gave us some mixed feelings. This beautiful treat we found on the menu today is called Fruits Rouge Cheesecake, and it is a stunner! This is a vanilla cheesecake with strawberry jam and raspberries topped with vanilla whipped panna cotta and a chocolate coin. Look at how bright those berries are — Disney sure picked an appropriate name for this one! Fruits Rouge Cheesecake Y’all, this might be the creamiest cheesecake we’ve ever eaten — it was SO good. The panna cotta was light with a touch of vanilla flavor and practically melts on your tongue, and it paired really well with the fresh strawberries on top. Fruits Rouge Cheesecake The jam on the bottom had both strawberries and raspberries, which added a nice tartness to the dessert — but here’s where it got a little odd. In the jam, there were pretty large chucks of fruit that threw us off. Like, too-big-for-our-spoon big, and too tough to cut. We almost would have preferred to just have the fruit topping and a crust on the bottom. Seriously, so creamy Overall this was a really tasty dessert and for $6.49, we thought it was a pretty good deal. It was some of the creamiest cheesecake we’ve ever had after all. If you love cheesecake or really fruity desserts, you’ll probably really like this one! If you’re more of a cheesecake purist, however, or don’t like big chunks of fruit in your dessert — you might want to pass on this. We’ll continue to keep our eyes peeled for the latest snacks to hit the parks and give you all the reviews, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
