Listen, the amount of holiday sweets we’ve eaten as a company in the past few weeks is enough to keep half the dentists in America in business… So many sweet treats! …but we’re not stopping now! We’ve tried sweets all around the Disney World parks and resorts as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Thanksgiving treats arrived, and now it’s time to hit up ANOTHER gingerbread display to see what they’ve got in store. Ho ho ho, let’s go! We’re heading to the BoardWalk Inn to check out the NEW gingerbread display that just arrived in the lobby there! This year, it’s a replica of the new restaurant, BoardWalk Deli. How cute! (It has been a replica of BoardWalk Bakery in the past, but that restaurant was closed earlier this year.) The BoardWalk Inn Lobby The impressive structure has a large window, the iconic white and red striped awnings, and even a sign that matches the restaurant. There are so many details! BoardWalk Deli replica The front of the gingerbread model has tiny trees, wreaths, tables, and chairs. The trees have their own miniature ornaments! Look at those details! Inside the window, we spotted two of our favorite pals — Minnie… It’s Minnie Mouse! …and Chef Mickey! They’re baking some delicious treats for all the customers. Chef Mickey The little kitchen is complete with some BoardWalk Deli menu items and teeny tiny appliances. We know we already said it, but this thing is SO detailed! What a cute little kitchen! Just look at it! For those who would like something to drink during their visit, they’re also selling the Gingerbread Frost, which is made with WODKA Vodka, Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, and Kahlua Liqueur, topped with whipped cream and a gingerbread cookie. Get it for $14. Gingerbread Frost So there you have it — that’s everything happening at the BoardWalk Inn Gingerbread Display! This year’s display is seriously impressive and we recommend stopping by to check it out if you’re staying nearby or planning to visit some of the Disney World resorts. It’s a real treat!

Since Disneyland introduced its Magic Key annual pass program, things have been a bit…chaotic, to say the least. Magic Key Logo These passes have been put on sale, then sales were paused, and then suddenly Magic Key Passes went back on sale on November 16th, 2022. But now, it looks like Disney has paused sales of select Magic Key Passes once again. It’s only been one day since Disneyland Magic Key Passes went on sale again, yet Disney has shared that another key is no longer available for purchase (the Enchant Key was only available for renewal). Magic Key Reusable Straw Yesterday, the prices for each key were as follows: Inspire Key: $1,599 Believe Key: $1,099 Enchant Key (only available for renewal): $699 Imagine Key: $449 However, as of 11:06AM PT, the Believe Key was no longer for sale, either. The Enchant Key remains only available for current passholders looking to renew. ©Disney We saw quite the queue online yesterday while checking to see what the process was like to purchase a new pass — and it looks like that hasn’t changed. When we checked the Magic Key Pass sales website today, the approximate wait time was still listed at more than an hour! ©Disney So, just be patient if you’re looking to purchase a new Magic Key Pass — the queue will let you in once it’s your turn.

Disneyland Resort has so many unique meet and greet opportunities with characters. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Not only can guests meet with all their favorite Avengers, but they even recently got to see the Werewolf By Night characters, and have an opportunity to chat with M’Baku! Boba Fett has also put in an appearance, but perhaps the most highly anticipated characters announced for the resort are The Mandalorian with Grogu.

If you’ll be traveling this Thanksgiving holiday, be prepared. Orlando International Airport Holiday flight costs are high, despite fewer bookings. And between gas costs for those traveling by car and potential complications for those flying, things could be interesting. If you’ll be heading to Orlando, there are some specific things you need to know about before that Thanksgiving travel. According to the Orlando International Airport (MCO), the Thanksgiving travel period officially kicks off on November 18th and they’re expecting about 1.75 MILLION travelers to pass through MCO within the upcoming 12 days. That would be the same level reached back in 2019 — which marked a record year for the airport. It would also mark an increase of 157 THOUSAND additional passengers compared to 2021 (10% increase). So yeah, prepare for crowds. Orlando International Airport crowds The following list shows the 12 days expected to be the busiest during the 2022 Thanksgiving season at MCO. Top place goes to November 26th, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But not far behind is Saturday, November 19th (the Saturday before Thanksgiving), and Sunday, November 27th (the Sunday after Thanksgiving). ©MCO If you are traveling through MCO on any of these dates, please go prepared. Give yourself a LOT of time to check in those bags, get through security, and get to your gate. MCO recommends arriving inside the terminal at MCO (if you’ll be flying out of MCO) at least 3 hours before your flight. That might mean you’ll need to call your Uber way ahead of time so you can arrive early, arrange for different transportation, or otherwise change some of your plans around to give yourself the time you need. Orlando International Airport in 2021 Kevin Thibault, the Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority shared, “Orlando International is ready for the increase.” The new Terminal C (which opened not that long ago) will help ease some of the overcrowding, and they’ve also put some new systems in place to help with parking. Inside Terminal C Parking is expected to become a big issue, and the airport could reach capacity in ALL parking garages and its North Park Place and South Park Place parking lots. If all other lots fill up then West Park Place will open for additional parking. If you’re driving to MCO and seeking to park there, watch the MCO app for parking information. You can also follow MCO on Twitter or other social media platforms to get the latest information or visit the MCO website. Terminal C Outside Here are a few more tips if you’ll be flying during this busy season: Pack light (if possible) Be sure you’ve got everything ready to go ahead of the security checkpoints so you can move smoothly through that area (have your ID ready to go, etc.) (remember any electronics larger than a cell phone have to be taken out of your bag and put in a bin at the checkpoint) Check MCO’s app or social media pages to see checkpoint wait times Make sure all of your gels and liquids fit the requirements Wear shoes that you can remove easily so you can speed up the security process Consider buying an Airtag to place in your luggage so you can keep track of its location Pack a LOT of patience Download the app for your airline so you can stay up-to-date on any delays, cancelations, gate changes, etc. Orlando Airport We’ve got all kinds of air travel tips to help you survive upcoming travel.

Have you ever seen Magic Kingdom when the park passes have completely SOLD OUT? Magic Kingdom entrance Disney World’s Park Pass Reservation system has been a staple ever since the parks reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic closures. The new system requires guests to have both a theme park ticket and a Park Pass Reservation in order to enter any of the parks. The reservations are limited, which means that parks can (and do) sell out of reservations. Today (November 17th), Magic Kingdom completely sold out of park passes, for regular guests and for Annual Passholders. Come with us to see what a sold-out Disney World park looks like! It’s not super unusual for the Disney World parks (especially Magic Kingdom) to run out of park passes for regular guests, especially during busy times like the holiday season. However, usually there are still some Annual Pass spots left — but not today. Cinderella Castle When we saw that the passes were completely sold out, we were curious to find out what the crowds would look like in Magic Kingdom. So imagine our shock when the park actually felt pretty…empty? Where’d everyone go? Even the Transportation and Ticket Center (where you’ll park your car to take a Monorail, bus, or Ferryboat to the park) was less busy than we’ve seen the past few days. There was still a fairly decent line for the Monorail, but it wasn’t miles long like we saw recently. Lines aren’t bad Entering Magic Kingdom, we noticed pretty standard crowds at the top of Main Street, U.S.A., and over near the Town Square Theater. A few crowds here This is usually one of the busiest areas of the park, as many guests enter and leave throughout the day. Still not bad! In Fantasyland, crowd levels looked pretty normal, and we’ve certainly seen this area get far busier than what we saw today. What’s going on?? We’ve seen much worse It was even stranger in Adventureland, which felt like a ghost town. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride was closed down when we were there, but there weren’t many guests nearby to be disappointed by that closure, because they all seem to have mysteriously vanished. Um…hello? Even the nearby gift shop, which is usually bustling, was eerily empty. Not much shopping going on here Aloha Isle is THE place to get a Dole Whip in Magic Kingdom, and you’d have no trouble buying one right now, as there wasn’t a line at all at this restaurant. Aloha Isle We took a look at the ride wait times, which confirmed the strangely low crowds we were seeing. Popular rides like “it’s a small world,” Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin all had wait times under an hour (with many under 30 minutes), which is pretty low for the middle of the day. ©Disney Splash Mountain had a wait time of 5 minutes (!!)… ©Disney …and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had a wait of only 70 minutes. Seven Dwarfs is the most popular coaster in Magic Kingdom, and a 70-minute wait in the afternoon is very low for it, especially during the holiday season. ©Disney It makes sense that the crowds would be lower today, as many people likely have plans to visit next week for the holiday break, but it’s interesting that Disney seemed to adjust the available park pass reservations so that those passes ran out even though the park doesn’t feel full at all. Near the Hub We’ve seen Magic Kingdom get MUCH busier than this (does anyone else still have nightmares about the 50th-anniversary opening day crowds?), so clearly the number of available reservations for Magic Kingdom changes day by day. Crowds on Main Street Based on the crowds we’re seeing today, it might be a good idea for the future to plan a Disney vacation right before the holiday season officially kicks off. You could find yourself enjoying all the holiday perks (like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, holiday treats, and festive decorations) without the huge crowds!

Disney has a LOT of things in the works when it comes to movies. ©Pixar | Disney We know about a Haunted Mansion movie, a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad movie, a Princess Diaries sequel, Marvel movies, and so many more. One of the upcoming movies Disney will be releasing next year is Pixar’s Elemental. We previously knew a little bit about the premise and the characters, but now, the FIRST teaser trailer has been released! Pixar’s Elemental will be released in theaters in June of 2023, and now we have a first look at what the film will like! Check out the teaser trailer below. The story follows the unlikely duo of Ember and Wade in a city where fire, water, air, and land residents live together. Ember is voiced by Leah Lewis, while Wade is voiced by Mamoudou Athie. ©Pixar The team behind the movie shared that they wanted Ember to feel like she’s not just on fire, but that she’s made of fire. Wade is a water guy and is transparent, so you “always know what he’s feeling.” The chemistry of the characters is said to be a really important part of the movie. ©Pixar According to the team behind the film, they said they wanted to tell a story about everyone who has ever made a sacrifice or taken a risk, and then they set it in a big city! We’ll let you know more about the film as Disney and Pixar release more info. ©Disney For more on Disney’s upcoming projects, check out more about Ryan Reynolds producing a NEW movie for Disney, the FIGMENT(!!) movie in the works at Disney, and 12 NEW trailers Disney and Pixar released for upcoming movies and shows.

If you’re looking for Black Friday deals, you’re in the right place! Animated Disney Holiday House with Lights and Music All kinds of Black Friday deals have already arrived or special early deals are now available. That’s right folks, the time to shop (or at least prepare those shopping lists) is NOW. We’ve got a running list of Black Friday toy deals and a page full of information about EVERY Disney Black Friday deal, covering everything from Target to Amazon. But now we’re taking a special look at the deals you can score at Costco! There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to Costco Black Friday deals. First, some are part of the “Early Black Friday Savings” which runs now through November 28th. Others are online-only savings, which start on November 24th. And some deals are specific to the Black Friday Weekend Savings event — which is limited to November 25th-28th. Just keep that in mind as you go through these deals (or others on the Costco website). Another thing to keep in mind is that an active Costco membership is required for warehouse purchases, and some items may have member-exclusive pricing. ©Costco Alright, now that we’ve got the technicalities out of the way, let’s talk savings. There are a LOT…and we mean a LOT…of deals available at Costco as part of Black Friday. We’re talking savings on everything from refrigerators to tires, shoes, and sweaters. So you can potentially score some EPIC deals. ©Costco Let’s go through some of our favorite picks! Apple AirPods — $10-$30 Savings If you’ve been looking at getting Apple AirPods, now might be the time. You can save $10-$30 on AirPods at Costco thanks to Black Friday deals. ©Costco Here’s a breakdown of some of the offerings: Apple AirPods 3rd Generation with MagSafe Charging Case — $149.99 (includes $20 savings) (valid through 11/28) Apple AirPods 2nd Generation with Charging Case — $89.99 (includes $30 savings) (valid through 11/28) Apple AirPods 3rd Generation with Lightning Charging Case — $139.99 (includes $20 savings) (valid through 11/28) Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation — $229.99 (includes $10 savings) (valid through 11/28) ©Costco These deals are generally available in-warehouse and online. Especially if you aren’t worried about getting the newest version of AirPods, you could get that 2nd Generation version for UNDER $100. That’s a pretty nice gift to give someone in the family (or grab for yourself!). Laptop Deals — Savings of $100-$300+ Shopping for a new laptop? Costco has you covered with a variety of deals on different types of laptops! It just depends on what you’re looking for and what you’re looking to spend. With Apple Macbooks, you can save $100 online only on a MacBook Air 13″. This is specifically a 13.6″ MacBook Air with an M2 Chip 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 512GB SSD. Its normal price is $1,449.99, but the $100 savings online brings it down to $1,349.99. $100 might not be all that much, but every little deal can add up, especially when it comes to pricey Mac products. This deal is available through November 28th. ©Costco If you’d rather opt for a cheaper laptop, there are tons of options there too. For example, the HP 17.3″ touchscreen laptop with 12GB memory, and 1TB HDD, is $150 off, making its price $449.99. This is an online deal and is valid through November 28th. ©Costco You can also get $400 off a Dell Inspiron 16″ 3k Laptop, and deals on a bunch of other laptops as well. It all just depends on what you’re interested in. ©Costco If you’re in the market for a new laptop, Costco’s Black Friday deals might be a good place to start. Fitbit Deals — $50-$80 OFF New year, new you, right? Whether you’re already really into fitness trackers and smartwatches or hoping to start off 2023 with a greater focus on health and fitness, a Fitbit could help and now you could get one for LESS. If you opt for the Fitbit Charge 5 Fitness Tracker, you can get $50 OFF. This is a Member Only item, and the discount brings it down to $89.99 (from $139.99). This deal lasts through November 28th. ©Costco You can also get the Fitbit Versa 4 Fitness Smartwatch at a discount. This is another Member Only item, but the discount brings it to $139.99 (down from $219.99). ©Costco Which would you pick? Kitchen Items — $40-$50 OFF Reading about Disney snacks got you hungry? Make some delicious dishes at home thanks to the kitchen items that you can score at a discount. The Ninja Foodi Smart XL 6-in-1 indoor grill can be yours for $40 OFF — bringing the price down from $199.99 to $159.99. This is a member-only item and the savings is valid through November 28th. This item can do it ALL — grill, air crisp, bake, roast, dehydrate, and even reheat. Think of the dishes you could make! ©Costco If you’re willing to wait a bit for more deals, mark your calendars for November 24th. That’s when you’ll get an early start online on an air fryer deal. With this discount, you’ll be able to score the Ninja Foodi XL 10 qt dual-zone air fryer for $50 off, bringing the price down to $119.99. ©Costco After that early online start, the deal should be available November 25th-28th in-warehouse and online. Vacuum Deals — $100-$150 OFF Maybe you’ve always dreamt of getting a Dyson. Maybe you’ve watched the sales advertisements for these things or watched YouTube videos of people using them. Well, soon you could grab your own at a LOWER price! Both the Dyson V11 Torque Drive + Cordless Vacuum Cleaner AND Dyson Ball Animal 2 Upright Vacuum will be on sale soon at Costco. ©Costco The Dyson V11 (cordless) will be $150 off, bringing the cost down to $499.99. That one comes with 7 Dyson tools and you’ll be able to vacuum everywhere without dragging around a cord. To grab a cheaper vacuum, opt for the Dyson Ball Animal Upright, which comes with 3 Dyson tools and is $100 OFF. The price will ultimately be $249.99 for that one. Both deals will be available online and in-warehouse, and the early start for online-only access begins November 21st. After the early start, they should be available November 25th-28th. Blink Security System — $100 OFF Want to feel a bit more secure in your home? Been thinking about grabbing a new security system? Well, the Blink Whole Home Security System is now $100 off for a limited time! This is a Member Only item and the savings brings down the price to $199.99. It comes with a floodlight camera, 2 wire-free outdoor cameras, 1 indoor add-on camera, a video doorbell, and a yard sign. ©Costco Whether you just want to keep tabs on the dog, watch your home as you leave for your Disney World trip, or keep an eye on those packages as the holiday season begins, this could be a great buy to help you feel more secure. Wet Brush Hair Care Set (with some Disney designs!) — $4 Off This next deal won’t exactly save you a ton of cash, but it features some Disney designs, so we had to include it! Now through November 28th, you’ll want to check your local Costco warehouse for some discounts on Wet Brush Hair Care sets. There is a Harry Potter design, a Belle design, and a Cinderella design (though the selection will vary by your location). ©Costco The set comes with a full-size and mini brush, plus a comb or accessories. These could be great gifts to give to someone during the holidays, and the $4 savings (while not a lot) is still better than nothing and brings the item to a price under $15. TV Deals And finally, we’ve GOT to talk about those Costco TV deals! There are a number to pick from. On the lower end in terms of cost, you could get a Samsung 50″ TV (4K UHD LEG LCD) for $329.99. That price will only last through November 28th though, so you’ll want to act quickly. ©Costco There are a few other TV deals. Another series of Samsung TVs are discounted to prices ranging from $699.99 to $999.99, depending on the size you get. There are also LG TVs on sale for prices between $296 and $449.99. ©Costco Prices, of course, vary depending on the type of TV you’re looking at and the size of the TV as well. And that’s just a sampling of the Costco Black Friday Deals that are available now or will be available soon. You’ll also find savings on clothing, snacks… ©Costco …gaming chairs, and more. ©Costco Remember that some deals can sell out, so act quickly on those that are currently available!

EPCOT just celebrated its 40th Anniversary, and there are some BIG changes on the horizon for the park! EPCOT We’re partway through EPCOT’s multi-year transformation, and there’s one big area left to complete — the middle of the park. If you’ve visited in the past few years, you’ll know that the center of the park is surrounded by construction walls. But soon, we’ll be getting some exciting new additions in World Nature and World Celebration…and today we’ve got an update! If you ride the monorail into EPCOT, you’ll get to see what’s going on in the middle of the park with all the projects. To start with, there’s a section that’s under construction between Spaceship Earth and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This area has been having some pretty slow progress, but it looks like there may eventually be a pathway that opens up between the two areas. It doesn’t seem to be the priority project at the moment though. Nothing much has changed over here. Moving on over to the big construction zone, we spotted some changes with CommuniCore Hall this week — that’s the big building in the middle. There was a large crane laying pieces on top of the two-story structure recently, but we couldn’t yet tell if they were going to add a third floor or not, we’ll have to wait and see. CommuniCore Hall is getting additions! The area around CommuniCore Hall will be CommuniCore Plaza, which will be an outdoor space where guests can relax and enjoy EPCOT festival offerings. There will be a stage constructed here that will have the ability to host both small performances and large concerts. We’re excited to see these features constructed! CommuniCore Plaza There’s a lot going on in the area behind CommuniCore Hall, where the World Nature bathrooms are located. Mostly, it looks like this space has been storing construction materials, and the ground has been torn up in order to work on the new buildings and features. World Nature construction Moving on to the thing we’re all not-so-patiently awaiting, let’s discuss Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana! The walk-through attraction is set to be complete by the end of next year, and we’ve seen some changes recently that show us how quickly the progress is coming along. Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana We recently noticed that the SECOND section of rock structures has been added (look out for the gray rockwork behind the orange and green ones). All of the various parts are starting to get connected to each other, and more practical elements have been added, including what looks to be lighting for the pathway. Moana construction! It keeps expanding and getting a little bigger every few weeks, so we’re interested to see how big it is when everything is completed. More Moana construction And finally, we have a photo to show the construction nearest to Spaceship Earth. Directly behind the EPCOT icon, you’ll find some beautiful gardens and Dreamers Point, which will include a statue of Walt Disney. Right now, not much is changing in this area, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more updates! The last of the construction! That’s an update on all the big construction in EPCOT! Stay tuned to DFB for more news on this gigantic transformation, including details on any of the additions coming next year. We’re excited to get to walk through the middle of the park again soon — it’ll save us some serious time! Hold up for a sec!
