Disney+ took the streaming world by storm when it launched back in 2019. ©Disney We’ve seen a ton of successful originals, like The Mandalorian, Loki, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even movie launches like Turning Red and Hocus Pocus. The streaming service was introduced with pretty reasonable pricing, but since then, has seen some price increases. We also found out that ads would soon be coming to Disney+, and the day is finally here — Disney+ has launching their service with ads. Disney+ just launched ads on the streaming service, meaning pricing has changed. There is now Disney+ Basic and Disney+ Premium. Basic comes with ads for $7.99 a month. ©Disney Premium has no ads and is $10.99 a month. You can also pay for premium on a yearly basis at $109.99 per year. Premium includes unlimited downloads, and Groupwatch and Dolby Atmos are also only included on Premium. ©Disney There are also some bundle options that include Hulu and ESPN+. You can take a look at those options below: ©Disney It’s also important to note that if you already have Disney+, you will be automatically enrolled into Disney+ Premium. You need to physically switch to Disney+ Basic if you don’t want the price increase and benefits of Premium. ©Disney There are more than 100 advertisers across all major categories now, including things like Mercedes, Starbucks, Google, Taco Bell, Verizon, and more. Also, something super important to note — Disney+ Basic is not currently available on Roku devices, so viewers are unable sign up for the plan on Roku devices or stream Disney+ on Roku if they have Disney+ Basic or the Disney Bundle Duo Basic or Trio Basic. You either have to sign up for Premium or switch to a different streaming device. ©Disney For more on Disney+ and streaming, check out the 32(!!) remakes, reboots, and sequel movies in the works at Disney right now, everything coming to Disney+ this December, and if you should cancel cable and get Hulu + Live TV instead.

Walt Disney World is truly the Most Magical Place on Earth during the holidays, and this year, MagicBand+ is making the holiday season even more enchanting with new experiences!View the full article

When the average person thinks of Disney World, chances are they don’t immediately think about booze. Beer in Animal Kingdom But in recent years, Disney World has become a hot spot for those looking to tie one on and have a drink or two, or just grab a beer while they’re waiting for their next Lightning Lane window to come around. Though alcohol isn’t necessarily new to the parks, we’re starting to see more offerings made available — especially in the once-dry Magic Kingdom. But with more cocktail and craft beer options on menus in Disney World, there’s a weird problem we’ve noticed — and it seems like Disney would want to do something about it! Disney World has not been immune to the craft beer boom, and any beer aficionado will tell you that they are NOT all created equally. Sure, you’ve got your IPAs, stouts, pilsners, porters, lagers…and the list goes on. There are imperial drafts and nitro brews, but the ABV is arguably the most important variable you have to consider when drinking craft (or any) beers. Lots of beer options It’s so important, that chances are if you walk into your local craft brewery or take a look at the menu at your favorite watering hole you’ll see the ABV listed right there beside the no doubt pun-tastic name of the beer. The ABV, or alcohol by volume, is just a quick way of describing how much of a beer’s (or wine’s, or liquor’s, etc.) total volume is made up of alcohol, and it’s measured in percentages. Seems like something important to know, right? ABV listed on the BaseLine Tap House menu But, Disney World doesn’t list the ABV for craft beers on most of its menus aside from a few beer-centric spots — and when you consider how many people frequent parks like EPCOT to “drink around the world,” that would seem like information Disney would want to provide its guests. It can be pretty easy to overindulge in the parks, and with a bar always within walking distance, guests are never to far from their next pour. Grab a pint at Rose & Crown Let’s look at a few of the craft beers available around Disney World. Over in Hollywood Studios, there’s only one spot you’ll want to stop for craft beer — BaseLine Tap House. This is one example where the ABV is listed on the menu, but it’s a rare case. You’ll find the Golden Road Golden State Cerveza with an ABV of 4.8%, but there’s also the Stone Delicious IPA which is 7.7%. You might feel fine after two of the Golden State Cervezas, but after two IPAs you might feel really excited about being in Disney world. BaseLine Tap House Over in Animal Kingdom, at spots like Dawa Bar and Thirsty River Bar, you can get the Tampa Bay Brewing Company Old Elephant Foot IPA. There isn’t an ABV listed next to this beer on either menu, but the brewery’s website clocks it at 7%. The same can be said for the Kona Island Hanalei, which has 4.5% ABV. Tap handle changes And elsewhere in Animal Kingdom, you’ll find a few specialty craft beers at Pongu Pongu. Both the Hawkes’ Grog Ale and Mo’Ara High Country Ale are served here, but there is no ABV listed on the menu. Even at EPCOT festivals, where there is a heavy presence of craft beer, the ABV is missing from the menus. EPCOT Festival menu If you’re a craft beer fan and plan on indulging when you’re in the parks, keep in mind that some of these beers have pretty high alcohol content in them. It can be easy to think everything is copacetic only for a buzz to hit you out of nowhere, and you don’t want to find yourself feeling like you’ve had a little too much to drink in the Most Magical Place on Earth. You of course, know yourself and your limits. Don’t Forget There are Special Beers Available during EPCOT Festivals too Our rule of thumb is one cup or bottle of water per alcoholic beverage, and make sure you’re eating enough throughout the day — you can’t survive Disney World on a purely liquid diet (no, frozen hot chocolate martinis do not count as food!). We also recommend tossing some hydration packs like Liquid I.V. into your suitcase or park bag for extra hydration. Staying hydrated is important! In most cases, you should be able to ask your server or bartender if they know the ABV of the beer you want to order, and most widely distributed craft beers do have the ABV listed somewhere online. Beer at Dawa Bar At the end of the day, though, this does seem like information Disney would want to provide its guests on a consistent basis, and not just at a few restaurants and bars here or there. With more alcoholic options being offered in the parks, we could see Disney start modifying menus to include ABV, but we’ll have to wait and see.

It’s no secret that we absolutely LOVE theme parks around here, so news of any kind of new attraction is pretty exciting! Universal Studios We’ll soon see the closure of Splash Mountain to be turned into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in both Disney World and Disneyland, and there’s even a whole new theme park coming to Universal Orlando Resort! But, focusing more on the near future, we just found out that a NEW attraction is coming soon to Universal Orlando! Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast will open at Universal Studios Florida in the summer of 2023! This new ride will be located where Shrek 4-D used to be in the park. ©Universal Universal says this is a first-of-its-kind diabolical family attraction inspired by the Minions franchise. The blaster game experience will let you put your villainous skills to the test and compete against others to join the supervillains you know from the movies! Universal says the attraction combines “innovative screen technology, state-of-the-art gaming interactivity and elaborate physical sets to create a one-of-a-kind, game-based adventure where guests encounter immersive environments, nefarious villains and tons of mischievous Minions from Illumination’s films in a whole new way.” Construction in August In the attraction, you will be transported to Villain-Con — the biggest criminal convention in the world. Here, you will take part in a competition to see if you have what it takes to become the newest member of The Vicious 6, the group of supervillains from Minions: The Rise of Gru. If you’re up for the challenge, you can grab an interactive blaster and step onto a motion-based pathway to put your skills to the test. You’ll go through various scenes where you can earn points by blasting a variety of items and causing as much mayhem as possible. Construction Universal also said that this attraction will be part of the new Minion Land on Illumination Ave in the park, which features Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, a new Minion Café, and more.

Walt Disney World has had a LOT of changes recently, and more changes are here. Magic Kingdom We have seen Genie+ get a price increase and surge pricing, hundreds of price increases put in effect for food at restaurants in the resort, and more. Disney previously announced major changes were coming to theme park tickets in terms of pricing and certain options, and those changes are finally here. What Change? Starting December 8th, Disney has put a park-specific pricing system in place for 1-day, 1-park tickets. Instead of just purchasing a ticket that could be used at any of the 4 theme parks, you will have to buy one specifically for the park you want to visit, and the pricing is different for each park. The price of a ticket will depend on the park you select. So, a ticket to Magic Kingdom may cost MORE than a ticket to Disney’s Animal Kingdom on the same day. These prices will also change depending on the time of year like they do now. So, times of higher demand will see higher prices for tickets. Toy Story Land What Do Things Look Like Now? When you visit the Disney World ticket website now, you’ll encounter a screen that shows standard theme park tickets begin at $109 per day. That is technically the same starting price as before, but what price you’ll actually pay for your ticket will vary greatly depending on what day you visit and what park you choose to go to. ©Disney Price INCREASE with Ticket Range Once you hit “continue” you’ll see a screen showing you the ticket price range from 1-10 days. This is where you start to see those changes. Here’s a look at just what has changed (these prices are for standard 1-day, 1-park tickets): 1 day — remained the same at $109 2-day — was $107, increased to $112 3-day — was $107, increased to $114 4-day — was $106, increased to $114 5-day — was $91, increased to $99 6-day — was $78, increased to $85 7-day — was $69, increased to $75 8-day — was $65, increased to $70 9-day — was $60, increased to $65 10-day — was $56, increased to $60 Keep in mind these are the starting prices for those tickets. ©Disney The Calendar Looks Different When you look at the calendar showing all of the 1-day ticket prices for the month, you’ll notice that they now show a price with a “+” following them. That did not previously exist. The “+” represents this new 1-day, 1-park ticketing change because while tickets for, say Animal Kingdom may be priced at $134 for one day, a ticket to Magic Kingdom may be much more — hence the “+” to indicate that there is a range of prices for each date and that the price displayed is only the starting price for some (or one) of the parks. ©Disney Park-Specific Pricing When you go to buy your 1-day ticket, you’ll now see a screen that prompts you to select whether you’ll be buying a 1 Park Per Day ticket, Park Hopper, or Park Hopper Plus. These options used to be displayed above the calendar, so this marks a shift in that process as well. Under this new system, remember that 1-day, 1-park tickets are now park specific — that means you’ll need to buy a ticket for the specific park you want to go to on that date. Because of this change, your 1-day, 1-park ticket will also automatically come with a Park Pass reservation at the time of purchase. If all parks are available, you’ll see an image like the one below, displaying all of the parks and the pricing for each. For the particular date we chose (December 11th) pricing is as follows: Magic Kingdom — $164 EPCOT — $159 Hollywood Studios — $164 Animal Kingdom — $149 So it appears (at least for this day), Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are the most expensive, while EPCOT and Animal Kingdom are cheaper. ©Disney – -December 11th, 2022 pricing The exact pricing of the tickets can vary depending on the dates you pick though. For example, here’s a look at the 1-day pricing for October 31st, 2023 (Halloween). Magic Kingdom is priced at $154 on this day and so is Hollywood Studios. EPCOT and Animal Kingdom are $144. Park Hopper prices also vary by date now, so you’ll see some changes there. ©Disney Let’s take a look at another example. What if you want to go to Disney World on Thanksgiving of 2023 (November 23rd). Previously, you’d buy a 1-day, 1-park ticket at a single price and then make a Park Pass reservation for whatever park you wanted to visit. That’s not the case anymore. Now, you’ll see the 1-day, 1-park ticket price depends on what park you want to visit. Magic Kingdom is the most expensive at $184. Hollywood Studios follows at $179, then it’s EPCOT at $169, and Animal Kingdom at $159. ©Disney Ticket prices have varied by date for a long time, it’s the added fact that the 1-day, 1-park ticket price now also varies by park that is the key to this change. Some Dates Are MORE Expensive Now Than Before In addition to the fact that 1-day, 1-park ticket pricing now varies by park, we’re seeing some price INCREASES depending on the dates you visit. In other words, some dates in 2023 are now more expensive (or fall under a more expensive ticket bracket) than they were before. Take January of 2023 for example. This is a screenshot of what 1-day, 1-park ticket pricing looked like BEFORE the December 8th changes. ©Disney This is what it looks like now. Here are just a few of the changes we’re seeing: January 1st — was $154, starting price is now $159 January 6th, 7th, 8th — was $134, starting price is now $144 January 9th, 11th, 12th — was $124, starting price is now $139 January 10th — was $124, starting price is now $134 January 13th — was $134, starting price is now $139 And those are just some initial observations. ©Disney What You Need to Know So, what are the big things you need to take away from this? 1 — 1-day, 1-park ticket prices now vary depending not just on the day you visit, but on the PARK you want to visit. These are the new price ranges for tickets, depending on the park: Disney’s Animal Kingdom — $109-$159 (no change from current costs) Disney’s Hollywood Studios — $124-$179 EPCOT — $114-$179 Magic Kingdom — $124-$189 Magic Kingdom 2 — If you’ll be buying a 1-day, 1-park ticket, you’ll need to select what park you’ll be going to and buy a ticket specific to that park. 3 — A Park Pass reservation will automatically be made for you when you buy that 1-day, 1-park, park-specific ticket. 4 — We’re seeing all kinds of price increases — whether that’s specific to the tickets themselves or to the dates on which those tickets are for. Be sure to update your budgets accordingly if you haven’t already bought your tickets.

Another day, another change happening in Disney World. Magic Kingdom Disney announced the other day that ticket pricing would be changing for the parks, along with a few other changes like Annual Pass prices. And now, the day is finally here — Park Hoppers just got a price change for Disney World. Starting today, December 8th, the price for Park Hopper ticket add ons will change depending on the date. Before now, it was $65 to add on a Park Hopper to a single-day ticket, and $85 to add on Park Hopper Plus to a single-day ticket. A Park Hopper will allow you to visit more than 1 park per day, and a Park Hopper Plus does the same thing with the addition of the ability to visit one of the water parks. Skyliner from Hollywood Studios Now, the price will change based on the date, like how all of the other theme park tickets do. During popular times of the year, we assume these will be more expensive add on options compared to slower times of the year. EPCOT Monorail So, this is what we’re seeing right now with Park Hopper prices. On today, December 8th, a regular Park Hopper is $213 per ticket. This is the same no matter which park you decide to go to. ©Disney Magic Kingdom is booked for today, but the rest of the parks are available. A 1-day ticket to EPCOT is $139, so a Park Hopper is $74 more, Hollywood Studios is $149, so a Park Hopper is $64 more, and Animal Kingdom is $134, so a Park Hopper is $79 more. As for Park Hopper Plus, that add on is $233 per ticket for today. That’s $94 more than EPCOT’s single day ticket, $84 more than Hollywood Studios’, and $99 more than Animal Kingdom’s. ©Disney Let’s look at a busier day — we took a look at the prices for Christmas Day (one of the busiest days of the year). A Park Hopper ticket on Christmas Day is $252 per ticket. That’s $73 more than the single day ticket for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, and $93 more than the single day ticket for Animal Kingdom (Magic Kingdom is not available). ©Disney A Park Hopper Plus on Christmas Day is $272 per ticket. That’s $93 more than EPCOT and Hollywood Studios’ single day tickets, and $113 more than Animal Kingdom’s. ©Disney Moving on to 2023, you can see on Halloween of 2023 that a Park hopper is $219, and and Park Hopper Plus is $239. For a Park Hopper, that’s $65 more than Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios and $75 more than EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. For Park Hopper Plus, it’s $85 more than Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios and $95 more than EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. ©Disney The Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus add ons are the same for any park you visit, but we want to show you the difference between the cost of a single day ticket and a ticket with the add on since the prices for single day tickets is different for each park now. When you move to multi-day tickets, you can really see the price increase. For a 2-day Park Hopper starting on January 24th, 2023, it’s $360.19, and a Park Hopper Plus is $380.19. That’s $80 more than a single day ticket for a Park Hopper and $100 more for a Park Hopper Plus. ©Disney For a 2-day Park Hopper starting on March 13th, 2023, it’s $372, and a Park Hopper Plus is $392. Again, that’s $80 more than a single day ticket for a Park Hopper and $100 more for a Park Hopper Plus. ©Disney For a 2-day Park Hopper starting on September 18th, 2023, it’s $297.06, and a Park Hopper Plus is $317.06. That’s $75 more than a single day ticket for a Park Hopper and $95 more for a Park Hopper Plus. ©Disney For a 2-day Park Hopper starting on November 23rd, 2023 (Thanksgiving Day), it’s $415, and a Park Hopper Plus is $435. Again, that’s $85 more than a single day ticket for a Park Hopper and $105 more for a Park Hopper Plus. ©Disney Keep this new pricing info in mind when you’re planning the budget for your next trip.

We’ve reached the in-between season in Disney World! Holiday crowds in Magic Kingdom What’s the “in-between season” you may ask? Well, it’s the short time between Thanksgiving break and Christmas break when the parks are decked out for the holidays but there isn’t the same heavy surge of visitors as you’d get during a holiday break. So what are the crowds actually like during this time? We’re sharing our experience! Let’s start out in Hollywood Studios, where we noticed this morning that the park was BUSY. Hollywood Boulevard was hopping with business first thing. Hollywood Boulevard morning crowds By the time we made it down Sunset Boulevard, Tower of Terror was closed due to technical difficulties. That didn’t stop a large group of people from hanging out in the area, waiting for it to come back up though. Crowds near Tower of Terror However, the worst offender for crowds was Toy Story Land by FAR! This part of the park was shoulder-to-shoulder in some spots. We had to do some serious weaving to get through there. Toy Story Land was PACKED! In the afternoon, we stopped by Magic Kingdom, where the crowd was pretty thick for a performance of Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire, despite the glaring sun. (It’s still pretty warm here in Florida!) People watching the stage show We made our way back to Frontierland, only to discover that Big Thunder Mountain was closed…also due to technical difficulties. Rough day for Disney World rides! Big Thunder is closed! But don’t worry — Splash Mountain was getting plenty of business! This ride is set to close on January 21st to be transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, so we expect it to be pretty popular in the coming weeks. It was a 95-minute wait in the afternoon. Lots of people waiting! And speaking of things with long waits, we noticed a couple of rides had queues that were spreading out into the walkway. That was the case with Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square… Haunted Mansion queue …as well as the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. This one is usually a pretty short wait! Line for the PeopleMover And in Magic Kingdom, the worst crowds were located in Adventureland, where there’s a bit of a bottleneck near Jungle Cruise. YEESH! Very packed over here! The surprising thing is that even though the crowds were bad today…the wait times weren’t! Midday, there weren’t any rides in Disney World with waits over 2 hours and some of the heavy hitters were hovering around an hour-long wait instead. Jingle Cruise had the highest wait in the middle of the afternoon! ©Disney Despite the multiple ride closures, the wait times were definitely bearable. Interesting indeed! We’ll continue to watch the crowds and wait times throughout the holiday season, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates. We’ll make sure to share all our best tips with you!

Disney World is going through quite the transformation — and that includes a pretty massive renovation to Disney’s BoardWalk! Disney’s BoardWalk Not only is the hotel getting a makeover, but the BoardWalk Bakery also turned into the BoardWalk Deli too, and another restaurant is on the way, as well. But, one spot on the BoardWalk has left us a little bit confused and wondering exactly what’s been going on with it. Here’s what we’re seeing. At Disney’s BoardWalk, you’ll find entertainment, dining, shopping, and more. There are bars, table service restaurants, and places to grab a quick bite to eat — but one quick service spot has been closed pretty frequently lately, and recently we noticed it hasn’t opened at all. Disney’s BoardWalk The BoardWalk To Go window has historically served up deep-fried treats including fried mac and cheese bites and corn dogs. You could even grab a meal combo built around a hot dog, cheeseburger, or pulled pork sandwich in the past — but we haven’t seen BoardWalk To Go window open for a bit now. Boardwalk To-Go In fact, when we tried to search for the fast food eatery’s hours on the Disney World website, we kept getting error messages and couldn’t get the BoardWalk To Go page to load. We even had a reporter check with a Cast Member who works on the BoardWalk, but we weren’t totally convinced by their answer. Boardwalk Loaded Chips We wanted to follow up on this with Disney, so we reached out via chat on the Disney World website. The Cast Member shared that from what they could see, BoardWalk To Go was still listed as a dining option but couldn’t see any hours listed at the moment. So, whether or not this quick service spot is closed temporarily, for good, or reopening as something new remains to be seen. Boardwalk To-Go Whatever the situation may be at the BoardWalk To Go window, we’ll continue to look for updates and let you know if we learn of any news.

My full-time job on the DFB team allows me to work remotely from anywhere with high-speed Internet access, so earlier this year I made the decision to give up my permanent residence and travel full time. ©CNN I generally house sit in the cities I visit, and I drive between them. I have stayed overnight in four different states in the past 10 days — and that means one of my biggest expenses on the road is gas. While we can’t control the price of gas, and it doesn’t really go on “sale,” there are some things I do consistently to try to save where I can. Sure, it’s a few cents per gallon here and there, but those cents add up. Know the Regional Trends Gas prices in the U.S. vary from state to state, and even from town to town, based on the tax rates in various places. Crossing a state line can sometimes mean an immediate swing in gas prices of up to 25 cents or more a gallon. I know, for example, that gas in Georgia is going to be cheaper than any bordering state, and that gas in North Georgia is generally 10-15 cents less per gallon than gas around Atlanta. ©GasBuddy So, I make a habit of always filling up in Georgia when I can. If you aren’t familiar with the gas price trends in an area, you can use an app like GasBuddy to see the gas prices ahead of you and help you decide where to stop. I Travel Full-Time. Here Are 8 Things I Keep in My Car. Gas Station Rewards Programs Simply put, I join every one of these I have the chance to. Yes, I’m giving my personal info to businesses and getting on their “list.” Yes, I have to download an app for each one of them. There are trade-offs, but I have found it is worth it. ©GasBuddy Some recent deals I have gotten: 10 cents off per gallon with Pilot Rewards 5 cents off per gallon with Shell Fuel Rewards I also pay attention to the additional items I can get in store with gas station rewards programs. For example, Casey’s General Stores are offering a free item for their reward members each day in December with no purchase required. The items are things like candy bars I can use as stocking stuffers. And Wawa is currently offering free coffee on Tuesdays for its rewards program members. I Travel Full-Time. Here Are The Gifts On My Christmas Wishlist. Supermarket Fuel Points This is another no-brainer for me. Many supermarket chains offer programs you can join for free to earn points toward fuel discounts every time you buy groceries. The program I use the most is through Kroger, where you earn points each month that you can redeem for cents-off per gallon the next month. ©Kroger Kroger fuel points can be redeemed at Kroger gas stations and also at many Shell stations. Other supermarkets including Piggly Wiggly, Giant Eagle, Tops, and Safeway offer similar programs. I Travel Full Time. Here Are 8 Surprising Things I Carry With Me. Gift Card Sales I find these to be the very biggest savings you can realize on gas, provided you have the funds to take advantage of the sales. Retailers sometimes have sales on gift cards that can be used in locations where gas is sold. ©GasBuddy The deal I look for anytime I am in the Southeast is through Publix. The store frequently offers $10 off $50 RaceTrac gift cards with a purchase. That is a 20% savings on gas — you’re not going to find that any other way than through this kind of deal. I Travel Full Time. Here Are My Packing Must-Haves. Car Maintenance Yes. Everything you read about saving money on gas says that a well-maintained car will burn less gas, and it’s absolutely true — regular oil changes, air filters that are not clogged, and other maintenance keeps your car burning gas as it should. ©Bridgestone There’s one of those maintenance factors that you can check regularly that will influence your gas mileage: Your tire pressure. Be sure that you’re watching it and keeping your tires inflated. While a lot about gas prices is not in my control, there are the ways I employ to save as much as a I can.

It’s the holiday season, and that means there are sweet treats EVERYWHERE in Disney World! Christmas Tree in Animal Kingdom We’ve seen lots of gingerbread and peppermint and plenty of snacks to try at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, but now we’re heading to Animal Kingdom to grab a photogenic treat that’s returning. Let’s check it out! At Animal Kingdom this holiday season, you can find the Merry Menagerie Cupcake yet again! It’s a returning treat and you can get it from multiple quick service spots, including Flame Tree Barbecue, Pizzafari, and Restaurantosaurus. Merry Menagerie Cupcake at Flame Tree Barbecue It’s available from now through December 30th, 2022 and you can get one for $5.99. It’s made with gingerbread cake, cream cheese filling, and buttercream frosting. But the design is what makes it really eye-catching — it’s topped with a white chocolate polar bear and sugar snowflakes, plus blue sugar crystals. We got ours from Flame Tree The Merry Menagerie Cupcake is here to honor the Merry Menagerie — an adorable set of holiday puppets that roam Discovery Island throughout the season. If you’re planning a trip to Animal Kingdom in the next few weeks, make sure to check them out! It’s made to match the puppets! Plus, there’s a mama and baby polar bear to match the cupcake. How sweet! The lil polar bear! But let’s get on to eating! The flavor of the cake is overwhelmingly ginger-forward…so much so that it almost made us cough. We really liked the gingerbread cake in the past, but this year it came on a little too strong. It’s possible that the flavor may vary by batch and we just ended up with a particularly potent one. The cake was nice and moist, but the frosting on top was a little too sweet for our taste, mostly sugary and there was a LOT of it. (Which could be a good or bad thing, depending on how much you like it.) VERY frosting-heavy We cut this baby open and disappointingly, found very little filling inside. There was a bit more in the other half, but not by much. It’s a shame because the filling was by far our favorite part — if it had been on top instead of the frosting that we got, we would’ve LOVED this treat. It was sweet (but not too sweet) and had a strong cream cheese flavor. Delicious. We would like more filling, please! We’d probably like it more with extra filling, or if they swapped out the frosting for cream cheese frosting. It’s super cute though and might be a fun treat to try if you’re a big fan of the holiday puppets. Gingerbread lovers will probably really like it. We’ll keep checking out the holiday offerings around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB. We’ve been visiting all of the festive celebrations that we can find across the property, so if you’re coming to Disney World soon, stay tuned for our thoughts and reviews!

Bob Iger, Disney’s returning CEO, has spoken out on a number of issues over the years and even just over the past few weeks. ©Reuters From the Parental Rights in Education Bill (which critics called “Don’t Say Gay”) and the dissolution of Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, to Park Pass reservations, and the move of Disney employees to Central Florida — Iger has made his views clear on some hot topics. And recently he spoke up again, this time about gun violence. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bob Iger recently attended a Sandy Hook Promise Benefit. The benefit is associated with Sandy Hook Promise, a national nonprofit organization that was founded by “family members whose loved ones were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012.” Their goal is to “educate and empower youth and adults to prevent violence in schools, homes, and communities.” Iger was joined by other big names including former president Barack Obama and Matthew McConaughey. ©DIA DIPASUPIL/GETTY via The Hollywood Reporter During the event, Iger said that “preventing shootings before they happen ‘should be among our highest priorities.'” Iger went on to say, “As a grandfather, as a father, as CEO of The Walt Disney Company, I believe there is no greater or more important task than ensuring the safety and well-being of our children.” “Those of us who are in positions to affect change, whether it’s by influencing laws of shaping culture or supporting organizations on the frontlines, I think we have an extra responsibility,” Iger continued. ©Disney Iger was honored for his “support of gun reform” and Disney’s support of the “Start with Hello” initiative. This initiative is for elementary schools and is meant to promote inclusion while also preventing social isolation by empowering students to reach out to individuals who might be isolated, marginalized, or rejected “to let them know that they are seen and valued.” In a post that initially announced Disney’s support of the program, Sandy Hook Promise shared that Disney would be directly contributing to the development of the new Start With Hello curriculum and digital platform. ©Sandy Hook Promise Elissa Margolis, senior vice president, Enterprise Social Responsibility for The Walt Disney Company, said, “We know that being a young student isn’t always easy. That’s why The Walt Disney Company is pleased to support the Start With Hello program to encourage young kids to take small but powerful actions to promote connectedness, encourage inclusive behavior, and prevent kids from feeling isolated.” Hall of Presidents This isn’t the first time Iger has spoken out about gun control. According to Vanity Fair, after the Las Vegas mass shootings, he said “I don’t think this is politics at all…I think this is a huge crisis for our country.” He continued, “We have the worst record in the modern world when it comes to gun violence and gun deaths…we should be demanding a dialogue about this from our politicians and demanding some productive action that is aimed at stopping these things from happening.” He also posted a tweet in 2018 saying that by failing to stop gun violence, we are “failing our children and failing our country.” We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more statements from Bob Iger and information related to the Walt Disney Company.

We love the food at Disney World! From seasonal cocktails to fancy new treats to tried-and-true theme park favorites, Disney food is often over-the-top in its flavor combos and visual appeal. Santa’s Hat mousse treat The culinary staff at Disney World is super creative for sure, but they are also following some formulas that all theme parks use to keep you spending on food and drink in the parks. We heard from some culinary experts at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions convention recently in Orlando, and learned why Disney World comes up with such creative things on its menus. (And hint: It’s usually to make money!) Crazy Combinations Disney is known for some unusual flavor mash-ups — Fluffernutter Churros, anyone? How about a Philly Cheesesteak Spring Roll? Mashing up different foods is a time-honored theme park food technique. “Take all of the menu items you can think of, put ’em all in a hat, pull two and combine it,” said Jeff Whiting of Whiting’s Foods at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Fluffernutter Churro One of the finalists in this year’s IAAPA food and beverage awards was the “Nachurros” served at Six Flags Over Georgia. This food mash-up had fried flour tortillas coated in cinnamon sugar as the “chips,” topped with chocolate and caramel sauces and whipped cream. Whiting said food mash-ups get people intrigued, and they are often made with ingredients the theme park already stocks for other food items. 9 of the Best Snacks Under $10 in Disney Springs IP-Themed Foods From those Seven Dwarf Specialty Cones to that Mr. Toad Burger to the classic Mickey Ice Cream Bar, Disney’s intellectual property (aka those many famous characters they own) are all over Disney’s food. And there’s one good reason for that: It can’t be copied. Toad Burger in Disney World The Telus Spark Science Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, found a way to “brand” its food in 2022, too. Its James Webb Ice Cream is garnished with a hexagon cookie, mimicking the shape of the telescope’s mirror. “We don’t all have telescopes, but we all have something unique to our properties,” Whiting said. Best Disney World Snacks for Every Budget ‘Fancy’ Drinks Those cocktails with glow cubes, that violet lemonade, and the blue milk in Disney’s Hollywood Studios certainly make for some unique experiences! They also make Disney a lot of money. Beverages are often a highly profitable category for theme parks. Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade Hersheypark has a huge hit with the Jolly Rancher-flavored Lemonade it sells. It is housemade lemonade with your choice of Jolly Rancher flavor syrups, and the profit margin on it for the park tops 92%. “Lemonade is about as close to printing money as you can get,” Whiting said. This HACK May Change Your Mind About Blue Milk in Disney World Souvenir Containers Oh, those souvenir popcorn buckets. They cost anywhere between $13 and $30, and in addition to the fact that they’re a cute souvenir, they come with a discount on refills. That pitch means Disney World sells a LOT of popcorn buckets, and other theme parks make use of the same sales pitch. Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket Collectibles that are issued one at a time can drive more frequent visits to theme parks, Whiting said. The San Diego Zoo launched a line of collectible aluminum beer tumblers, and this year, the tumblers were the best-selling item in the entire zoo. Every SinglePopcorn BucketYou Can Get in Disney World Right Now! ‘Elevated’ Theme Park Fare You can get a hot dog at most any theme park, right? But right now at Casey’s Corner, you can get the Holiday Dinner Dog — a footlong hot dog topped with cranberry mustard, stuffing funnel cake, and cheese curds. Say what? Holiday Dinner Hot Dog You can get a burger at any theme park, too. But at Belmont Park in San Diego, you can get the Draft South Mission Dirty Double Dipper Burger — two local beef patties topped with cheese and a signature sauce made with local draft beer. “We all do burgers,” Whiting said. “But this is a memorable one. How can you make what you do the best you can make it?” These are the tricks Disney World — and many other theme parks — use to keep us buying and eating during our park days!
