It’s been a pretty MAJOR week for theme park announcements. Universal Orlando We learned about new and returning nighttime shows at Disney World, along with some seriously exciting news about the opening date for TRON Lightcycle Run. Not to be outdone, Universal Studios has just announced something HUGE — a NEW experience coming to Texas! Yes, you read that correctly — Universal Parks & Resorts plans on expanding its lineup of theme parks by building a BRAND NEW experience in Frisco, Texas! Universal shared, “The new park concept, set in a lush green landscape and featuring immersive themed lands, celebrates Universal’s iconic brand of entertainment, humor, and innovation and brings to life its beloved characters and stories in ways that will wow even the youngest theme park goers.” According to Bloomberg, the company wants to build “a family-focused resort aimed specifically at younger kids on 97 acres of land it’s acquired” in the suburb of Dallas. The new park will include rides, shows, a hotel, as well as character meet and greets that feature Minions and Shrek! ©Universal Not only that, but a “year-round, horror-focused destination” is planned for Las Vegas, Nevada. The 110,000 square feet destination will be the main tenant in a new expansion of Vegas’ Area15 entertainment district. This makes sense for Universal as Halloween Horror Nights attracts thousands of visitors each year, and Universal is known for its classic horror characters! According to Bloomberg, “content from both historical and upcoming films will be featured in the Las Vegas property.” Universal Studios It looks like Universal is trying to take advantage of the booming theme park business, with consumers returning to recreational activities and parks following the global pandemic.

We’re only a few days away from the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Festival of the Arts 2022 Chalk Art This festival celebrates art across a variety of forms, including visual art, culinary arts, and performance arts. One of the best parts of the festival are the amazing chalk art murals, and we spotted the beginnings of some of the 2023 art! Today in EPCOT, we found some artists hard at work. They were sketching out their pieces on a blocked-off section of the walkway, surrounded by the tools of their trade. What will it turn into? On the other side we could see more of one of the pieces. Even with just some simple lines, we can see the beginnings of a drawing featuring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. These artists are truly talented! Three of our favorite pals! Even the Chalk Art sign has gone up towards the front of the park. Once the art walk is completed, there will be a variety of pieces to view during the festival. We appreciate all of the work and creativity that goes into creating these masterpieces, and we can’t wait to see the finished results. Stay tuned to our site for more Festival of the Arts coverage!

The future of the Disney Dining Plan still hangs in the air — even over a year after Disney made the announcement that it would be coming back at some point. The Cheshire Cat Tail is an iconic Magic Kingdom snack But, Disney just announced a new Dining Promo Card offer that functions differently than the Dining Plan — though both are all about the FOOD. We’ve seen similar promo card offers from Disney in the past, and the offers seem to expand to more guests each time. So, is the Dining Promo Card the future of the Disney Dining Plan? Disney announced the latest Dining Promo Card in January 2023, and it’s available for guests taking trips to Disney World this summer. Essentially, if you book a minimum 5-night stay at a Disney World Resort with at least 4-days of tickets, you could be eligible to get a Dining Promo Card. But, what is it? Let’s talk about the Dining Promo Package! The Dining Promo Card is basically a gift card that you can use at select Disney World restaurants. The card is included with certain hotel reservations, and if you have a qualifying Disney hotel reservation, you’ll receive the promo card in your email once you check into your reservation. The card’s value depends on your vacation arrival date, how long you’re staying at the hotel, and which hotel you choose. Disney’s Grand Floridian Originally, Disney said that the cards were good up to a $750 value, but we’ve since confirmed that they can be OVER $1,000 depending on the vacation package you book! You can read more details about how much you can earn by staying at each type of Disney World hotel here. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen offers like this, though it is the first time we’ve seen it offered to such a wide range of guests — essentially anyone who decides to take advantage of this offer and books a Disney World vacation package (meaning hotel and park tickets) that qualifies can receive a Dining Promo Card. Full spread from Kona Cafe In 2021, Disney announced a 50th Anniversary Vacation Package for U.K. residents that included a Disney Dining Credit of up to $950 for trips in 2022. It worked pretty similarly to the current Promo Card deal, where depending on what level resort you stayed at and how long you stayed (at least 2 weeks!), you’d receive a gift card to spend on dining. Disney’s Riviera Resort And, back in 2017, we saw a Quick Service Dining Card offer for guests who booked a Disney World vacation package that was included with select stays at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, Four Seasons Disney World Resort, Disney Springs area hotels, and select good neighbor hotels. Guests with a minimum 3-day park ticket received a pre-paid, discounted Quick Service Dining card. Art of Animation But what does this mean for the Disney Dining Plan? Well, we still don’t really know. Disney announced that it would come back, but didn’t share what form it might take when it returned, nor have they confirmed that this Dining Promo Card offer is a replacement. Just as a refresher, the Disney Dining Plan was a pre-purchased plan that could be added to a Disney Vacation Package. You have to be staying at a Disney-owned-and-operated hotel and have tickets to the parks in order to qualify for the plan. Disney Dining Plan Shirt The Dining Plan offered a set number of credits for counter-service and table-service restaurant meals, as well as snacks. You would have your dining plan points deducted instead of paying at the restaurant you’re visiting. There are different types of Disney Dining Plans to fit your group’s needs. You can still save money with the Dining Plan, but you had to pay for your meals in advance. Quick Service Disney Dining Plan Chart The dining cards are more like a perk you receive for booking a longer stay at a Disney World Resort hotel. The new Dining Promo Cards are emailed to the address of the lead guest on the reservation after check-in. The email will include a barcode that can be scanned at restaurants, and the card may be added to Google or Apple Wallets on your phone. You can either show the email on your mobile device, via a printed copy, or by adding it to your mobile wallet! The prettiest breakfast plate you ever did see! The key thing to remember here is that each time we’ve seen a dining promo card offered — the offer has seemingly expanded. First it was a quick service card for certain hotel guests, then an offer for extended stays of U.K. residents, and now the offer is open for Disney World Resort hotels and guests who book a qualifying trip. Pizzafari Spread It certainly sounds like we’re living in the future, though whether Dining Promo Cards are the future of the Disney Dining Plan remains unclear. We’ll be keeping an eye out for the latest updates! To learn more about the Dining Promo Card offer, check out our posts below: Is This Disney World’s Answer to the Dining Plan in 2023?

EPCOT is one of our favorite Disney World parks for one BIG reason… EPCOT’s World Showcase …the FOOD! We are DisneyFoodBlog, after all. You can eat and drink your way around the world here, and there are so many tasty spots to do it. From quick service to table service, EPCOT has it all — and one spot that rarely disappoints is Spice Road Table. You’ll find it in the Morocco Pavilion, and for a while, advance dining reservations weren’t accepted here — but that has changed! Spice Road Table is a GREAT spot to sit and relax while enjoying some stellar views and even better eats. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating and the menu features tapas-style dishes, or small plates, including Hummus with Imported Olives, Fried Calamari and Brie Fondue, Grilled Kefta, and much more. Recently, the restaurant had been only accepting walk-ups, but we noticed a change has happened! Spice Road Table Spice Road Table IS accepting advance dining reservations. We spotted the change on the Disney World website, and saw reservations available for future dates. It’s also important to note that its not listed on the EPCOT Festival of the Arts walk-up Broadway Concert Series dining package page, which might have something to do with the change. Instead, it’s listed as an advance dining package only. The only walk-up dining packages being offered are at Regal Eagle Smokehouse! Spice Road Table spread The other restaurants where you’ll find advance dining packages for the festival are: Akershus Royal Banquet (Norway Pavilion) — $74 per adult, $48 per child Biergarten Restaurant (Germany Pavilion) — $60 per adult, $34 per child Coral Reef Restaurant (The Living Seas) — $69 per adult, $27 per child Garden Grill Restaurant (The Land Pavilion) — $66 per adult, $43 per child Le Cellier Steakhouse (Canada Pavilion) — $95 per adult, $36 per child Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue (American Adventure Pavilion) — $35 Rose and Crown Dining Room (United Kingdom Pavilion) — $59 per adult, $25 per child Spice Road Table (Morocco Pavilion) — $47 per adult, $20 per child More dipping!

When Disney drops news, they seriously drop news! If you weren’t paying attention Tuesday because you were, well, at school, at work, shopping, parenting, cleaning, doing laundry, and just living life … we’ve got some HUGE NEWS for you. ©Disney | TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening SOON! In fact, it’s our JOB to pay attention, and even we couldn’t keep up! We’re rounding up EVERY news bomb Disney dropped on us yesterday, and … Disney World and Disneyland fans, have we got NEWS for you! End Date for Harmonious in EPCOT EPCOT’s current nighttime spectacular — Harmonious — is going away. Disney has announced that the LAST performance of Harmonious will be April 2nd, 2023! We’ll be saying goodbye to Harmonious in EPCOT. An all-new nighttime spectacular will be debuting at EPCOT later this year, but Disney has been keeping the details and timing of the new show pretty under wraps. Get more details on the end of Harmonious here. Goodbye, Barges! That’s right! The closing of Harmonious means those view-blocking barges and platforms in World Showcase Lagoon will be leaving in “a phased removal,” according to Disney. Harmonious Barges Even most folks who loved Harmonious didn’t enjoy the site of these barges, which housed custom-built LED panels, moving fountains, lights and lasers, and some pyrotechnics for the show. Grab more details on the removal of the Harmonious barges here. EPCOT Forever is Returning So what’s going to go on at night in EPCOT without Harmonious? Disney has shared that a former nighttime spectacular — EPCOT Forever — will be returning for a limited run starting April 3rd! EPCOT Forever Concept Art ©Disney During the D23 Expo in 2022, Disney announced that EPCOT would be getting a NEW nighttime spectacular in 2023.

Changes to Park Pass Reservations for Annual Passholders Disney World is making some changes to its Park Pass Reservations sytem that will result in less work — and less planning — for annual passholders! Annual Passholder Magnet On weekdays, passholders will be able to enter the parks without a Park Pass Reservation — after 2PM. Disney has not said WHEN this change will go into effect, and we’re sure there will be some exceptions, but it is a rollback that many passholders have been asking for. Click here for what we know about the Park Pass Reservation System Change. FREE Overnight Hotel Parking We have not seen Disney World LOWER very many prices, but Tuesday, they did just that. Overnight self-parking is now FREE again for Disney World hotel guests. Art of Animation Resort That’s right — this change took effect immediately after it was announced, so the parking is already free again! Get more info on the Disney World Hotel parking change here. FREE PhotoPass Downloads with Genie+ More free stuff? Yep! Disney announced that in the coming months, it will become free for guests who purchase Disney Genie+ to download attraction photos taken that day.

We don’t have a start date for this new perk yet. Click here for more information on the FREE Disney Genie+ PhotoPass Downloads. Florida Resident Room Discounts Disney World also dropped a new discount for Florida residents on Tuesday!

Did you know there’s a place where you can dine with DINOSAURS in Disney World?! T-Rex in Disney Springs T-Rex Restaurant is the prehistoric version of Rainforest Café, and you’ll find it at Disney World’s shopping and dining center, Disney Springs. While the atmosphere is fun and exciting, the food isn’t always our favorite. But could NEW desserts CHANGE that? On their Twitter account, the Disney Springs restaurant revealed some all-new sweet treats they’ll be serving up for a limited time only. And each treat comes with a souvenir you get to keep! Inside T-Rex Cafe These Light-Up Celebration Projector Desserts each come in a souvenir glass (which lights up!) that you can take home with you. There are four different glasses in total, and it looks like a few different Disney World restaurants will each have its own dessert. T-Rex, Rainforest Café, and Yak & Yeti are all featured (note that these restaurants are all owned by the same company, which explains the matching desserts). The layered desserts appear to have a variety of tasty flavors, from chocolate to caramel to strawberry. © Disney While these items haven’t made their way to the official menu on the Disney site, we will keep an eye out for more details, including ingredients and pricing. And if you’re dining at one of these restaurants soon, be sure to ask about the new desserts! Stay tuned to our site for updates on this and other delicious finds at Disney.

If you’ll be flying domestically within the United States today or within the next few days, there is a massive update you need to be aware of. Traveling is About to Be More Complicated We’ve seen some serious travel complications lately, from winter storms and other situations that caused tremendous amounts of cancelations and delays with Southwest Airlines, to luggage mishaps, and more. But today (January 11th) a massive issue hit airlines across the country. UPDATE: The ground stop has been lifted and air traffic is returning to “normal” gradually across the U.S. Flight Aware continues to show, however, that over 4,000 flights have been delayed and over 700 have been canceled within, into, or out of the U.S. NBC News shares that the system impacted is the one that “sends out important real-time flight hazards and restrictions to all commercial airline pilots.” United Airlines has delayed domestic flights until at least 10AM ET. NBC News has also reported that all flights by American Airlines from Paris have been delayed until further notice. But other international airlines, like Air France, have indicated that their flights to the U.S. are going forward as planned and are not impacted by the FAA situation. Flying Given the number of delays that have been caused by this situation, it could take some time for the remaining flights of the day (and perhaps the upcoming days) to get back on track. If you have a flight planned for this morning, be sure to check with your airline for updates. We’ll continue to watch for more news and let you know what we see.

Today was a HUGE day for Disney. ©Josh D’Amaro We got news about the opening date for TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom, the return date for Happily Ever After, Park Hopping news for Disneyland, and MORE. 2023 is already shaping up to be quite the busy and transformative year, and now one Disney executive is chiming in on the recent announcements. Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, recently shared a new year’s message with Travel Agents. In the message, D’Amaro said that “last year was incredible,” and extended his thanks to Travel Agents for their work in helping guests plan their Disney trips. D’Amaro then commented on some of the changes being made in Disney World in 2023. He shared that Disney is “constantly adapting” its business to create a “better experience for guests, and to build a foundation so we can introduce new stories and experiences in the future.” Josh D’Amaro, Head of Disney Parks and Resorts According to D’Amaro, there are “lots of new reasons to celebrate together” in 2023. He then went on to note how the TRON Coaster (in Disney World), Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (in Disneyland), World of Color — ONE (Disneyland), and Wondrous Journeys (Disneyland) are ALL opening this year. Plus Disney will be celebrating its 100th Anniversary, and they will be bringing back the Happily Ever After fireworks show (Disney World) and Magic Happens parade (Disneyland). He went on to say that it is “important” that Disney continues to “evolve to help deliver the best guest experience possible.” So, more changes are on the way, including some that guests have specifically asked for. D’Amaro noted that these changes may not “address everyone’s feedback” (in other words, there are many changes fans have asked for that are NOT being implemented at this time), but they will hopefully “increase flexibility and add value” for those visiting the Disney parks and hotels. Slinky Dog Dash He then went on to outline some of the HUGE changes we’ve already shared with you, and comment on them. Disneyland Resort: D’Amaro shared that they’re “significantly increasing the number of days – nearly two months’ worth over the coming year” on which the one-day, one-park $104 ticket will be offered. They will also offer “more flexibility” with the Park Hopper option by allowing guests to hop between parks starting at 11AM (instead of 1PM) starting February 4th. Disney PhotoPass digital downloads of ride photos will be FREE for all ticketed park guests starting February 4th, 2023 and throughout the Disney100 celebration. And Magic Key Passes will be available for sale “more times during the year as inventory becomes available.” Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Disney World: Starting within the “next few months,” Disney World Annual Passholders will be able to visit the Disney World theme parks after 2PM WITHOUT needing a Park Pass reservation (except Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom) (note that regular blockout dates will continue to apply). FREE overnight self-parking at the Disney World hotels is coming back for those staying at Disney World resort hotels starting January 10th, 2023. Starting within “the next few months,” those who buy Genie+ in Disney World will also get FREE digital downloads of their PhotoPass attraction photos and videos at select rides (these will apply for the photos taken on the day of their purchase and park visit). And he highlighted the discounts and deals that have been announced over the past few weeks, including the Florida Resident Disney Weekday Magic tickets, Disney Dining Promo Card, and more. 2023 Is Going to Be a BIG Year D’Amaro shared that he is “excited about all of these changes and offers.” He also emphasized that Disney is “committed to listening, adapting, and staying relentlessly focused on making the guest experience at [the] Disney parks even better.” Disney undoubtedly receives a tremendous amount of feedback from its guests, and it seems some of that feedback could be prompting real changes (along with, likely, many other motivating factors the Company is considering). It will be interesting to see what the remainder of this year and the next few years bring to the parks. Stay tuned for the latest updates.

Remember the good old days of the Magical Express? After Disney did away with their free airport shuttle service, other options took its place, including the Sunshine Flyer. Sunshine Flyer These buses are themed around “old-fashioned passenger cars and train engines” and help get you in the headspace for a special trip as soon as you leave the airport! Since its inception, this convenient option has remained a shared bus for both you and other guests heading to the Disney parks. However, if you would prefer something a little more exclusive, the Sunshine Flyer has a new service line! They have introduced a new private transportation service called the Sunshine Flyer Direct that will provide direct transport from Orlando International Airport to Walt Disney World resorts. © Sunshine Flyer Unlike the classic motorcoach-themed buses, these rides will vary and guests can choose from a sedan, luxury SUV or sprinter van. You will also be able to select a pickup time and your driver will handle your baggage for you, even meeting you at baggage claim to help assist. Swanky! Having someone else get your bags? That’s the best! Just like the original Sunshine Flyer, the Sunshine Flyer Direct cars will have the same amenities for kids, including: Three-point harness seat belts at each seat Conductor hats Stickers Coloring/activity books You can meet your driver in Terminals A, B and C at the Orlando International Airport. Your driver will monitor your flight information so your service will be on time and fit with your schedule. Try out this service the next time you visit Disney World!
