Pixar fans, it’s time to lace up those running shoes! It’s Woody and Jessie! Disney announced previously that the theme of the 2023 runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend would be Pixar Pals, and now we have a first look at the designs for the race medals! The Pixar Pals theme combines friendship and Pixar, letting runners celebrate the importance of a strong support system through iconic characters. The Pixar characters featured during the race embody what it feels like to have a sense of community and someone who is always there to have your back. We now have a reveal of the official race medals! These are all finisher medals, meaning everyone who participates and completes their race will receive them. Talk about teamwork! First up we have the medal for the 5k race. Lightning McQueen is the true meaning of speed, but you can sprint, jog, or walk through their 3.1-mile course to complete this race. © Disney This fun medal is for the 10k! If you’re interested in a longer race, this is the one for you. At the end, you’ll receive this medal featuring Mike and Sully, hidden behind Boo’s door. © Disney Look at you go! Some of our favorite Toy Story characters are featured on the medal for those who finish the epic 10-mile race. © Disney Lastly, this Finding Nemo medal is for those who complete ALL THREE races! This medal has Nemo, Dory, and Crush, 3 awesome characters to celebrate your achievement of completing 3 epic races. © Disney If you haven’t yet signed up but are interested in attending in person, there are still some spaces available for the Disney Pixar Toy Story 10 Miler!

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for The Walt Disney Company since it was announced that Bob Iger had taken over as CEO once again. ©Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images It seemed like an easy choice for Disney to bring Iger back — after all, not many are as perfectly qualified for the role as he is. He originally served as CEO from 2005 to 2020, and his tenure is often remembered positively by both fans and experts. So it’s really no wonder that several industry experts recently named Iger the best CEO in media. According to Bloomberg, Bob Iger is the best CEO in media. About 50 media analysts and experts were polled on various aspects of the industry — from the best streaming service, studio, director, and yes — CEO. Bob Iger ©New York Post The experts didn’t agree on much per the article, but when asked who the best Chief Executive Officer in the media and entertainment is the answer, more often than not, was Bob Iger. The runners-up named were Reed Hastings (CEO of Netflix) and John Landgraf (Chairman of FX). Bob Iger presenting a model of Shanghai Disneyland But, why was Iger chosen as the best CEO in media? Well, to quote the article directly, “He baaaack.” It seems as though Iger’s first round as the head of Disney was enough to cement him as what it means to be a successful entertainment executive, and to this day analysts are expecting that same level of success during Iger’s second round. Whether or not Iger is able to achieve that success is a different story. ©Reuters Several studies have shown that “boomerang CEOs” or CEOs who have been brought back a second time, typically to set a company back on track (like in the case of Iger and Disney), have not always been as successful. Additionally, stock prices tend to suffer under boomerang CEOs. Recently, we’ve seen Disney stock prices rise and then even out under Iger, but the CEO has signed on for two years, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

We’ve certainly found our fair share of unique and bizarre souvenirs in Disney World. Dinoland, U.S.A. There were the Poisonous Trinket Trays. We LOVE the Monsters, Inc. Screams Water Bottle. We were amused by the Spitting Llama Hat that really SPITS! Well, today, we found another weird — and possibly gross — souvenir you can bring home from the parks. While we were checking out the goods over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, specifically in DinoLand, U.S.A., we found…well…there’s no polite way to say this. We found Dinosaur Poop. This is…what? Here’s the thing — this is REAL dinosaur poop — it’s a fossilized version. Yep, you can get REAL dinosaur poop in Disney World. See? It’s REAL! If you ever wanted to bring something hilarious, but also a little disgusting, home with you, this is the PERFECT souvenir. We found it at The Dino Institute (the gift shop at DINOSAUR) for $9.95. We’ll admit — this makes us miss the days when you could buy candy in Animal Kingdom designed to look like animal poop (yep, that’s a thing that existed once upon a time). Should we buy it? This is why it’s always so much fun to visit stores in Disney World — you never know what you’re going to find. So be sure to take time to peruse through some shops during your next vacation! If you want a Disney souvenir that’s less gross, though…you’re going to love our graphic tees for your next Disney World trip! Click here to see the whole collection! All of the lands!

Disney adults…go to Disney World and they’re EVERYWHERE! Magic Kingdom We’re not really ones to talk though, I mean, we’re all technically Disney adults here at DFB! But if you’re reading this, we’re willing to bet that you’re just like us. And if you want to find some like-minded Disney fans in the parks, there are a few specific rides that you should hit up during your trip! If you hop in line for Dumbo the Flying Elephant or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, chances are that you’ll find a bunch of families with kiddos since those rides don’t have height requirements. Disney is a place for all, so of course, kiddos are all around! But if you’re looking for rides that appeal more to Disney adults, then you probably need to head for those high-thrill experiences! Magic Kingdom Let’s start out at Magic Kingdom, where the Disney adults can be found waiting in line at Space Mountain! This coaster plunges you into darkness, which can often be a little too intense for younger visitors. You’ll navigate a series of twists and turns — none of which you’ll actually be able to see. Thrilling! Space Mountain We also selected an honorable mention for Magic Kingdom, and that’s the upcoming TRON Lightcycle Run coaster that’s being constructed next door to Space Mountain! The ride will open in spring 2023 and it’s going to be a copy of the coaster that’s currently in Shanghai Disneyland. TRON Concept Art ©Disney We can’t wait to check out this high-speed bike-style coaster when it opens. We know it’s going to be VERY popular for a while! EPCOT Moving on to EPCOT, you’ll find a lot of grownups at the newest ride in Disney World — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This omnicoaster has a reverse launch, a fantastic soundtrack, and features some of the most beloved Marvel heroes. A trifecta of awesomeness to make it super popular! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind But if you don’t find Disney adults there, they’ll likely be found at EPCOT’s most intense ride — Mission: SPACE next door. This honorable mention features a simulator that makes it seem like you’re launching into space. It’s so intense that the Orange (more intense) Mission comes with paper bags in the seats…just in case you get sick. Mission: SPACE Mission: SPACE may not be the most popular choice of ride for Disney adults, but you’re definitely not finding very many little ones aboard these ships! Hollywood Studios Moving on to Hollywood Studios, we’ve got one of the most popular rides in Disney World, Rise of the Resistance! This Star Wars attraction has been VERY busy since it opened in 2019 and it has a height requirement due to some of the more thrilling parts of the ride system. It’s basically a magnet for Star Wars fans! Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Our honorable mention is another ride with a massive fanbase — Tower of Terror! This drop tower will get your blood pumping with its series of random drops and raises. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it…REALLY love it! Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios Hollywood Studios is a big draw for thrill ride lovers, considering you can also check out Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Slinky Dog Dash. Lots of rides for Disney adults! Animal Kingdom And finally, we come to Animal Kingdom, where we have to talk about Expedition Everest. This coaster is one of Disney World’s most intense, with an 80-food drop and a section of the ride where you fly backward in the dark. And if that doesn’t spook you, the yeti sure will! Expedition Everest Our honorable mention at Animal Kingdom is Flight of Passage in Pandora! This ride opened up in 2017 and almost always has a long line due to the impressive tech and stunning scenery. You’ll need to meet the height requirement in order to board the bicycle-style seat, so this one is more popular with grown-ups. Flight of Passage So there you go — the rides in the parks where you won’t be able to avoid Disney adults! You’ll also find Disney adults at some of the more nostalgic rides — things like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spaceship Earth, and more. Basically, they’re all over the place in Disney World! For all the tips on how to have an amazing vacation, stay tuned to DFB. We’re in the theme parks every day and we’ve got the best advice to share with our readers! The One Disney World Restaurant Where You Can’t Avoid Disney Adults — Click Here!

Our return to Genovia might end up being a bittersweet one. Disney has been on a roll lately in revisiting some of its movie franchises: there have been a ton of live-action remakes, and, most recently, we got sequels to both Hocus Pocus and Enchanted! ©Disney Fans of the original Princess Diaries movies, though, have been waiting for a sequel, and recently, it seemed like it might happen. However, a third Princess Diaries movie may not feature queen of Genovia actress Julie Andrews. We previously learned that Disney was working on a third movie in the franchise, with a script being written by Aadrita Mukerji, who also worked on Quantum Leap and Supergirl. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, though, Andrews commented on the possibility of her being a part of that project. ©Disney She said, “I think we know that it’s probably not going to be possible. It was talked about very shortly after two [The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement] came out, but it’s now how many years since then? And I am that much older and Annie the princess, or queen, is so much older. And I am not sure where it would float or run. In terms of us doing it, I doubt that now.” ©Disney Although the third movie is reportedly a continuation of the story from the first two movies, Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia in the films, does not currently have a deal to return to the franchise, although there is hope for her to do so — and she has been vocal in her support for a third Princess Diaries movie. ©Disney We’ll just have to wait and see what happens when it comes to the third movie, but fans may not be as interested if Hathaway and Andrews do not reprise their roles in some way in the sequel. We’ll keep our eye out for more details and share them when we have them! In the meantime, you can stream the first two Princess Diaries movies on Disney+. Speaking of which, here’s everything that is coming to the streaming platform this month.

One of the most popular characters in Disney World isn’t necessarily a character you can meet from a movie or TV show. Sunshine Tree Terrace Nope, it’s a little orange bird, aka Orange Bird, who’s the mascot for the Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom. This little bird is so popular that he got his own 50th anniversary statue, and he appears on a variety of merchandise, from Crocs to scarves to MagicBand+ designs. Well, now, there’s a NEW Orange Bird souvenir you can take home with you. First a little history. In case you didn’t know it, Orange Bird was created in 1971 (meaning he’s 50 years old just like Disney World!). He was created as the mascot for the Florida Citrus Commission in exchange for its sponsorship of the Enchanted Tiki Room and Sunshine Tree Terrace. And more importantly, he’s still around! Orange Bird Cup Of course, that means you’ll see him on the iconic sign at Sunshine Tree Terrace — and now you can take that sign home with you! Okay, well, it isn’t THAT sign, per se, but it’s a replica of that sign! It’s the sign! We found this sign at Bonjour Village Gifts in Magic Kingdom for $150 — so if you want to take a piece of Disney World history home with you, now you can — in a way! We want this! This is also a super unique souvenir that would make a great gift for any Orange Bird fan, don’t you think? We love when things like this pop up in the parks! Once you’re done shopping, you can pop over to Sunshine Tree Terrace to enjoy a delicious Citrus Swirl! Planning to pick this up in Disney World soon? We’ve got the perfect t-shirt for you to wear into the parks! Click here to check out our whole merch line! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

A LOT has happened within the Walt Disney Company over the past month after Bob Iger stepped back into the role of CEO of the company after Bob Chapek stepped down. That means that a lot might change moving forward. Disney World entrance Back in 2021, Disney purchased land in the Lake Nona region of Orlando to build a campus to relocate thousands of the company’s employees there. Disney later announced this was delayed, and after Iger stepped back in as CEO, he stated that he had not yet made a decision on it. Now, though, we have our latest update on the project. According to The Orlando Business Journal, Disney’s relocation of some 2,000 employees to Lake Nona is still moving forward. The development company behind the Lake Nona area, Tavistock, has made a statement. The company’s Vice President of Strategic Communications Jessi Blakely said that more updates about the Disney move would be coming in 2023. Lake Nona Town Center ©Lake Nona Blakely said, “In the short-term future, things are moving along with Disney very well. I do expect that there will be news in the coming year around that project.” However, the site Disney bought for its Campus in Lake Nona has shown no signs of construction progress recently. The original plan was to move those employees to the area by 2026, but until we have more information, that date may change. Obtained Via the Orlando Business Journal We’ll have to wait and see what Iger’s next move will be — if the relocation delay gets longer, he may not be CEO when the move is scheduled to take place. However, Iger could still play a vital role in deciding if and when Disney makes that move, so we’ll have to keep an eye out for more details in the future.
