There is a LOT going on Magic Kingdom right now. The holiday decorations have arrived, the Christmas tree is up, and we spotted some celebrities filming for a holiday special earlier today! Disney Enchantment Now, though, it looks like there’s going to be a little more excitement. Disney World has announced that it will be launching fireworks LATE at Magic Kingdom over the next few days. In a Facebook post, the Walt Disney World Cast and Community posted that fireworks would be launching from Magic Kingdom between 11:30PM and 2AM every night from tonight, November 12th, through November 14th. ©Disney Disney did not give a reason for the late fireworks, but presumably they are for the holiday special that we saw filming for earlier: The Wonderful World of Disney Magical Holiday Celebration. So if you live in the area or are staying at a hotel nearby and hear fireworks late at night, that’s probably why! Derek Hough filming the holiday special in Magic Kingdom The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration will air on ABC on November 27th from 8-10PM ET. So mark your calendars, so you can watch it! In the meantime, be sure to check out our videos of Disney Enchantment, the fireworks show at Magic Kingdom if you need a little pick-me-up.

It’s no secret that crowds tend to pick up in Disney World during this time of year, but what do the wait times say? It’s getting CROWDED in Disney World! Wait times have been consistently decreasing over October and November but with Thanksgiving approaching and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party being back in Magic Kingdom, we’re expecting to see wait times start to increase. Find out if we’re right — we have all the average wait times in Disney World from this past week! We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — before you scroll down to check out this week’s wait times, we highly recommend making a list of your favorite Disney World rides first. Yes, it’s kind of annoying, but it’s the best way to help you decide whether you should buy Genie+! Remember that Genie+ is Disney’s new version of the FastPass, and it’s no longer free. Instead, it’ll cost you $15 to $22 per person, per day (or possibly more in the future), and that’s kind of a big investment. Spaceship Earth Lightning Lane With Genie+, you’re able to select ride Lightning Lanes that bypass standby lines, which means you spend less time waiting in line and more time having fun. If you can identify which of your favorite rides tend to have the highest wait times, you can figure out whether Genie+ is worth the cost for you. Expedition Everest Lightning Lane Okay, fine! You can scroll below now to see all the average wait times of every Disney World ride this past week below! Magic Kingdom Let’s start out with Magic Kingdom, where Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time at 63 minutes! It actually averaged 48 minutes last week, so that’s quite a BIG increase. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train After that, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 60 minutes, followed by Jungle Cruise at 57 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 42 minutes, Space Mountain at 40 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 33 minutes, Splash Mountain at 30 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 30 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 29 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 28 minutes, and Astro Orbiter at 25 minutes. Splash Mountain Lightning Lane And next up, “it’s a small world” averaged 22 minutes, Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid averaged 21 minutes, Magic Carpets of Aladdin averaged 16 minutes, Dumbo the Flying Elephant averaged 15 minutes, and Tomorrowland Speedway, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, and the Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini all averaged 14 minutes. Dumbo the Flying Elephant After that, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Mad Tea Party, and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover all averaged 12 minutes, followed by Carousel of Progress at 4 minutes, Liberty Square Riverboat at 4 minutes, and the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse at 1 minute. PeopleMover Line And attractions with no waits included the Country Bear Jamboree, Tom Sawyer Island, the Hall of Presidents, and the Enchanted Tiki Room. 5 places to escape in Magic Kingdom when your anxiety is through the roof! EPCOT Now we’re heading over to EPCOT, where the ride with the longest average wait time was Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, with an average wait time of 80 minutes, which is an increase of 22 minutes from last week! Frozen Ever After’s average wait time also increased, averaging 72 minutes, versus last week’s average of 64 minutes. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Next up was Test Track at 56 minutes, Soarin’ at 43 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 18 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 15 minutes. Living with the Land, Turtle Talk with Crush, Journey into Imagination, Gran Fiesta Tour, and The Seas with Nemo and Friends all averaged 13 minutes. Soarin’ And with no wait time this week were Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China. EPCOT vs Magic Kingdom…which park is BEST?! Hollywood Studios Now it’s time to visit Hollywood Studios, where Rise of the Resistance topped the list as usual with an average wait time of 101 minutes. That’s a 10-minute increase from last week’s average of 91 minutes. Rise of the Resistance Next on the list was Slinky Dog Dash with an average of 90 minutes followed by Tower of Terror at 72 minutes. Toy Story Mania and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway both averaged 67 minutes, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith both averaged 63 minutes. Toy Story Mania Alien Swirling Saucers averaged 36 minutes, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue averaged 28 minutes, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy averaged 13 minutes, Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 11 minutes, and Walt Disney Presents averaged 9 minutes. Click here for the BEST breakfast in Hollywood Studios! Animal Kingdom We’re at our final stop in Animal Kingdom, where Avatar Flight of Passage had the longest average wait time increased to 100 minutes. Last week, the average was 87 minutes. Flight of Passage Next up was Na’vi River Journey at 58 minutes, Kilimanjaro Safaris at 43 minutes, Expedition Everest at 23 minutes, DINOSAUR at 18 minutes, and Kali River Rapids at 17 minutes. Dinosaur It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 11 minutes and Triceratop Spin averaged 9 minutes. Both The Boneyard and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail averaged no wait time. Check out the NEW park map in Animal Kingdom! Overall, Disney World wait times are trending UP, which is pretty much expected as we get closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Did you note which rides had the highest wait times? If some of those happen to be your faves, Genie+ might be a good investment for you. And as the holidays inch closer, it’s possible that wait times could increase even more.

The holidays have officially arrived in Disneyland. There’s snow on the castle, holiday merchandise in the shops, and loads of holiday snacks at restaurants “it’s a small world” Disneyland Another Disneyland holiday tradition, though, involves the classic attraction “it’s a small world.” The holiday overlay of the ride just reopened — and there’s been a HUGE addition to the ride. For the first time in history, “it’s a small world” has dolls in wheelchairs. We certainly enjoyed seeing the holiday additions to the ride — they’re so much fun every year. Happy Holidays from “it’s a small world” But the new dolls are the stars of the updated attraction — here you can see one of them in a wheelchair singing. This is the South America scene. It’s a small world after all… We saw another doll in a wheelchair in the ride’s finale, too. There she is! Disney Imagineer Kim Irvine told CNN: “We are always looking to enhance our attractions with not just fun things, but meaningful things as well. And keeping timely with what’s happening in the world, and especially, you know, making things new. “I know we never want our attractions to become so predictable that you could ride them with your eyes closed and know what’s going on in there. We like to constantly be surprising you with new things and important things, especially relevant things.” So if you’re headed to Disneyland, be on the lookout for these additions. We’re continuing to cover the holiday season at Disneyland AND Disney World, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more. “it’s a small world” Holiday In the meantime, be sure to read up on all our Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays reviews!

One of Disney World’s most iconic shows, Fantasmic!, finally reopened after being closed since 2020. Fantasmic! There was no doubt that this show would be SUPER popular — we saw HUGE lines on its reopening night. Shortly after that, Disney World added extra shows to meet the demand. Tonight, though, there will be an extra show for only select Disney World guests: annual passholders! Disney World announced that passholders visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios today (with a valid annual pass and park pass reservation) can view a Passholder-only performance of Fantasmic! at 9PM. ©Disney Passholders wishing to attend the event will need to pick up a wristband at the Hollywood Studios entrance or at Pixar Avenue (signs that say “Fantasmic! Viewing Check-In” will point the way at each location). To get a wristband. passholders will need to show a valid annual pass and a government-issued photo ID. Fantasmic! Entry to the show will begin at 9PM — passholders must have a wristband to attend. This will be the second performance of the show this evening (the first is for all guests at 8PM). Fantasmic! If you’re an annual passholder wishing to see the performance, you’ll need to have already made your park pass reservations as they are already gone for the day. However, you can also hop to the park as long as it doesn’t hit capacity. Also note that today is a blockout date for passholders with the Pixie Dust Pass. If you’re looking for some fun holiday snacks at Hollywood Studios, you’ll find plenty around the park, like the Holiday Tree Marshmallow at Dockside Diner or the Santa Mickey Cupcake at Rosie’s All-American Cafe.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is best known for exciting roller coasters and immersive, themed lands. But that doesn’t mean you should sleep on the EATS in this park! At the very least, you’ll need the fuel to get you from Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster to Rise of the Resistance to Tower of Terror to Slinky Dog Dash…you get the picture. Hollywood Studios So what snacks and meals should you choose to power your Hollywood Studios day? There are a lot of good options, but we’re here to help you narrow it down. We’re in Disney World every single day, and we’ve tried just about everything there is to eat there. We’re can help you find the best possible food, drinks, and snacks for your upcoming trip! Come along with us to see the best places to eat in Hollywood Studios. In this post, we ranked the 4 best table service (sit-down) restaurants, the 5 best counter service (fast food-style) restaurants, and the 5 best places to get a snack or treat. Of course, there are more options than what’s listed here, but we focused on only the BEST eats for this list. If you want to see the rankings for ALL the restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, check out our video below. Now on to the best eats! Table Service Restaurants You will need a reservation for table service restaurants in Disney World (although sometimes you can join walk-up waitlists, depending on availability). You can start making those reservations 60 days before your trip. These meals tend to be more expensive than most counter service meals, and they’re also usually bigger and fancier. But which table service spot should you choose? We’ve got the answer. 4. 50’s Prime Time Café You know when you’re home for a family reunion and you’re surrounded by cousins and relatives and your mom and grandma are both shouting at you to eat your veggies and get your elbows off the table? Those are the vibes that 50’s Prime Time Café strives for. The dining rooms at this spot are meant to look like 1950s-style kitchens, complete with little black-and-white TVs that show mid-century shows. 50’s Prime Time Cafe You’ll dine on comfort food like fried chicken, meatloaf, and pot roast, and your server will treat you like family…literally. Sassy antics and shenanigans thrive at this spot! The food is really good and reasonably priced, and the unique atmosphere makes this a great choice for lunch or dinner. However, the meal can take a long time (you may not want to sacrifice your time in the park for it), and the interactive environment could be an introvert’s nightmare. PROS: Best for those looking for comfort foods aplenty Fun servers that add a wacky twist to an already unique dining room setting Seriously – SUCH good milkshakes CONS: Not great for those who want a quick meal and not a restaurant that’s going to take a chunk of time out of the park day Foods can be a little *too* familiar for more adventurous eaters Not the place to go if you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic meal OVERALL: 7.5/10 Check out our recent review of 50’s Prime Time Café here. 3. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater We’re moving from one unique restaurant to another! Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater is designed to look like a drive-in theater. You’ll sit in a car-shaped booth while you watch short (and cheesy) sci-fi clips on the big screen in front of you. Don’t worry about the rain — this drive-in is indoors. The setting alone is a good enough reason to stop by. Sci-Fi Dine-In The food here is mostly burgers, shakes, and fries (think diner food), and it’s decent. The dining arrangement is a little bit awkward if you wanted to have conversation during your meal, as everyone is turned to face the screen instead of each other. The main reason for visiting is definitely the unique theming, and we think kids especially will love it! PROS: Best for those looking for an EPIC themed dining experience with super-retro vibes Hearty portions with classic foods Great for those who are looking for dinner and a show CONS: Seating can make it difficult to talk to your group/may be bad for those uncomfortable with small spaces Not great for those looking for something different than the usual American fare Takes a lot of time out of your park day to experience OVERALL: 8/10 Check out our recent review of Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater here. 2. Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano Mama Melrose’s combines Italian cuisine with California charm. Confused? Yeah, we don’t blame you. Apparently the backstory is that Mama Melrose moved to Cali to become an actor, but her Italian cooking was the real star of the show. This spot combines her two loves! Mama Melrose’s So how is Mama Melrose’s cooking nowadays? In our experience, it’s pretty inconsistent. Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s just a bit disappointing. But when it’s great, it’s really GREAT. The menu isn’t cheap, so you’ll want to consider whether it’s worth the risk to you! PROS: Best for people looking for a sit-down Italian meal in the park Cutesy dining room with fun Californian/Italian decor Simple and approachable food CONS: Not great for those wanting something a little more adventurous Heavy pasta dishes + Hot day in the park + multiple thrill rides = a possible recipe for an upset tummy Potential of paying a hefty price for an “okay” meal OVERALL: 8.5/10 Read our full review of Mama Melrose’s here. 1. The Hollywood Brown Derby And the #1 spot for a table service meal in Hollywood Studios goes to the iconic Hollywood Brown Derby. This is one of the most delicious and historic dining experiences in all of Disney World. It’s a replica of the famous Hollywood restaurant, and it’s also the signature restaurant of Hollywood Studios. Reservations fill up quickly for this spot, so get yours quickly if you want ’em! The Hollywood Brown Derby Note that the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is a good option if you can’t get those reservations — it accepts walk-up guests and has many of the same classic menu items as the full restaurant. Some of our favorite eats here include the Famous Cobb Salad, Free-Range Chicken à la King, and Grapefruit Cake. As a signature restaurant, this spot is on the pricier side. PROS: Best for those looking for a romantic signature restaurant to dine at (which will immerse you in those old Hollywood vibes) Consistent top-notch gourmet selection The lounge is a solid alternative if reservations are filled CONS: Not great for those looking for a lighter meal before riding a whole bunch of thrill rides back-to-back Pricey (it’s called *signature* for a reason!) Walk-ups for the lounge can get crowded during the lunch and dinner rush OVERALL: 9/10 Read our latest review of Hollywood Brown Derby here! Counter Service Restaurants Now we’re moving on to the counter service restaurants in Hollywood Studios. You don’t need a reservation for these spots, and they tend to be much cheaper than the table service options — but that doesn’t mean they’re not as good! In fact, we sometimes prefer these eats to the fancier table service meals. Hollywood Studios Check to see if the restaurant you choose has Mobile Order available. That can save you time because you won’t have to wait in line to order! 5. ABC Commissary — Mobile Order Available ABC Commissary used to be a definite “pass” for us, but recently they’ve re-vamped their menu, and the new eats have definitely impressed us! The restaurant is themed after a production studio commissary, with posters and props for TV shows and movies all around. There’s a lot of indoor seating here, which is a definite plus. ABC Commissary The menu has some good options like the Pork Carnitas Tacos, Curry Rice Bowl with Shrimp, and the Watermelon Margarita. We also really liked the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich. PROS: Best for those looking for more unique fast food options on a budget Mobile ordering availability Good portions for what you pay for CONS: Not great for those looking for a fun and immersive setting Definitely still more *unique* options out there If you actually preferred the old chicken tenders and burgers menu, you’re going to have to look elsewhere OVERALL: 7/10 See our latest review of ABC Commissary here. 4. Woody’s Lunch Box — Mobile Order Available Looking to dine in Toy Story Land? You’ve only got one option (for now): Woody’s Lunch Box. This restaurant literally looks like a giant lunch box, and the only options for seating are outdoor tables with umbrellas. If you’re lucky, you might get to sit on a giant Babybel cheese! (Disney partnered with Mini Babybel for this restaurant.) Woody’s Lunch Box Some good options on the menu here are the Totchos (nachos but with tater tots), BBQ Brisket Melt, and Lunch Box Tarts. Those tarts might just look like fancy pop tarts (and OK, maybe that’s exactly what they are), but we love ’em all the same! There are often specialty flavors for different seasons. On a cool day, you can’t go wrong with a grilled cheese and tomato soup here, either. PROS: Good mix of sweet and savory options for both breakfast and lunch/dinner Affordable menu CONS: Not many options for kiddos All seating is outdoors (and with that Orlando sun, sometimes eating a hearty cheese sandwich when it’s sweltering outside isn’t the best of times) OVERALL: 7/10 See a recent review of Woody’s Lunch Box here. 3. Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo — Mobile Order Available Over in Batuu (AKA Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge), Docking Bay 7 is one of the quick service restaurant options. It’s run by Proprietor Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs, who honed his skills in the kitchen of Maz Kanata. There’s some indoor seating available here, though not a ton. Docking Bay 7 Spread You’ll find some familiar eats with a twist here, along with more bizarre options. The Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yip is a safe option (it’s just fried chicken), and we also enjoy the Topato Stir-Fry and Roasted Endorian Chicken Salad. PROS: Best for Star Wars fans who don’t want to fight tooth and nail for a reservation at Oga’s Cantina Unique quick service options Fun Batuu backstory and theming CONS: Not the greatest option for pickier eaters Not a huge selection of kid-friendly options One of the pricier quick service locations OVERALL: 7/10 Check out our latest review of Docking Bay 7 here. 2. Ronto Roasters — Mobile Order Available Docking Bay 7 is pretty good, but we actually like the other dining option in Galaxy’s Edge even better. Introducing Ronto Roasters! When you walk into the restaurant area, you’ll see a pitmaster droid busy at work turning a mechanical spit to cook up your meal. Seating is all outdoors here (the whole restaurant is open-air), although most of it is under a roof to keep the rain or sun off. Ronto Wrap Ronto Roasters has very few menu options, but what’s on there is GOOD. The Ronto Wrap is one of our favorite things to eat in this park, and the breakfast version (the Ronto Morning Wrap) is super popular as well. And don’t ignore the plant-based Zuchii Wrap either! This might not be the best place for very picky eaters or little kids (as there isn’t much to choose from on the menu besides those wraps), but the eats aren’t so bizarre that they would scare off most eaters. PROS: Best for those who want the QUICKEST food option in Batuu A more adventurous hot dog with a plant-based alternative CONS: *Potentially* too adventurous for some – especially with such a limited menu Seating is limited OVERALL: 8/10 Read our recent review of Ronto Roasters here. 1. Backlot Express — Mobile Order Available Our top pick for counter service (fast food) restaurants in Disney World is (drumroll, please) Backlot Express! This “warehouse of good eating” is themed as a production warehouse, so be sure to get up and look at all the props and decorations during your meal. The food here isn’t mind-blowing — it’s mostly burgers, sandwiches, and salads — but most everything is pretty good. Backlot Express A huge perk of this restaurant is the plethora of indoor seating available. And with a mix of familiar favorites and some more interesting eats, there’s something for everyone on the menu! The stand-out item here has to be our beloved Wookie Cookie (two oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with vanilla cream). PROS: Best for picky eaters Has a LOT of dining room seating WOOKIE COOKIE CONS: Not the best if you’re kind of tired of typical theme park fare WAY better burgers in Disney World for you to choose from Though we *do* love that Wookie Cookie, dessert options are otherwise limited here OVERALL: 9/10 Read our recent review of Backlot Express here! Snacks/Dessert Looking for a quick snack, treat, or drink in Hollywood Studios? We’ve got you covered. Here are the 5 best spots for a quick bite! 5. Oga’s Cantina We’re about to say something shocking, so just prepare yourself. Oga’s Cantina just might be a *little bit* overrated. This Star Wars-themed bar does have incredible theming, we fully admit. But sometimes the drinks and eats (especially the eats) leave something to be desired. Oga’s Cantina Now, don’t get us wrong — a big Star Wars fan will LOVE the opportunity to hang out in this bar, and for the atmosphere alone you might want to book a reservation. But those reservations are hard to get (some of the most difficult to find in Disney World). If you do go, make sure to try the Fuzzy Tauntaun (for the 21+ crowd) and the non-alcoholic Blue Bantha! Fuzzy Tauntaun We recommend skipping the eats here — there are only a couple of snack options, and neither has impressed us in the past. Seating is very limited as well, so you’ll probably find yourself standing at the bar. Reservations have a 45-minute limit, so don’t expect to spend your entire evening at this spot! PROS: Best for Star Wars fans who wanna try it all! Exciting intergalactic cocktails Lively and vibrant energy CONS: The hardest reservations to get in Hollywood Studios Not best for those wanting a snack alongside their drink (very limited, strange, and pricey options available) Crowded OVERALL: 6.5/10 Read our review of a famous drink at Oga’s Cantina here. 4. Epic Eats With a name like that, your expectations are probably very high for the Epic Eats snack stand. And rightfully so — this is where you can find funnel cakes! (OK, so maybe the menu isn’t exactly “epic,” but who doesn’t love a funnel cake?) The funnel cakes here are served with various toppings, like soft-serve ice cream. Epic Eats There’s no seating here, so expect to take your funnel cake to go. You’ll probably be able to find a table on the other side of Echo Lake, at the Dockside Diner, or just pick a bench somewhere along the lake. PROS: You like funnel cakes at the fair? You’ll like these! CONS: Funnel cakes only here – so don’t be expecting any *light* sweet treats OVERALL: 7/10 Read our recent review of Epic Eats here. 3. BaseLine Tap House BaseLine Tap House is another bar/lounge in Hollywood Studios, but it’s very different from Oga’s Cantina. For one thing, the theming here isn’t quite so in-your-face. And for another, the snacks on the menu are WAY better. BaseLine Tap House This is a good place to grab a beer, and don’t forget to try the charcuterie board or the Bavarian Pretzel (with beer cheese fondue!). There’s some indoor seating, but there’s quite a bit more outside. And while this is a great spot to hang out with some adult friends, it doesn’t have the most kid-friendly menu (unless your kids love charcuterie and spiced almonds?). PROS: Best for those looking for a selection of cold beers on tap One of the better pub-like options on Disney property Also, one of the better soft pretzel options on property (all hail the beer cheese!) CONS: Replaced Writer’s Stop (and it still feels like salt in a wound) Limited indoor seating Not the most kid-friendly snack stop OVERALL: 7.5/10 Read a recent review of BaseLine Tap House here. 2. Kat Saka’s Kettle Kat Saka’s Kettle is a DIVISIVE little snack stand in Batuu (Galaxy’s Edge). This stand serves 2 different kinds of popcorn: Buttered Blue Grains (blue-colored buttered popcorn) and Outpost Popcorn Mix. Outpost Mix That Outpost Mix is a fairly strange combination of sweet and spicy flavors, and it’s definitely not for everyone. However, some people really love it! So if you’re feeling adventurous and want a twist on a classic theme park food, this would be a fun option to try. PROS: Traditional and unique popcorn in a fun Star Wars setting CONS: What even* is* the Outpost Popcorn? OVERALL: 8/10 Read our review of Kat Saka’s Kettle here. 1. The Trolley Car Café If you already know that Trolley Car Café is the Starbucks location in this park, you might be questioning our decision to put it in the #1 spot. But if you further know that this is the home of the beloved Carrot Cake Cookie, then you will definitely agree with us! A Carrot Cake Cookie makes a great breakfast If you go to Hollywood Studios and DON’T eat a Carrot Cake Cookie…did you even really go? It’s a fan-favorite staple at this park, and for good reason. And while you’re here getting the cookie, you can grab your favorite coffee, too. PROS: CARROT CAKE COOKIE Great for those looking for their Starbucks fix CONS: Starbucks drinks mirror the ones you’ll find back home Can get pretty busy – especially first thing in the morning OVERALL: 9/10 Check out the Carrot Cake Cookie here. There you have it! All the best restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, whether you’re looking for a sit-down meal, a quick bite, or just some dessert.

It’s time for the Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure, which means we’ve been eating our way around all the food booths! Festival decor We’ve already tried a chocolate bourbon tart, some curry mac ‘n cheese, and (one of our favorites) a chorizo queso fundido. Now, we’re ready to move on to the next eats. Come with us to Paradise Garden Grill to check out the festival offerings at this restaurant! Although Paradise Garden Grill is a permanent dining location, it gets a few specialty menu items for the Festival of Holidays. Paradise Garden Grill This year, there are a LOT of new items on the menu here — let’s take a look! Menu On the menu this year, you’ll find some Impossible Albondigas Soup, a Chicken Tinga Burrito, a Pozole Dip Torta, some Loaded Yucca Fries, and a Chicken Tinga Arepa. 2022 Menu There’s also a new dessert — the Mango Tres Leches! 2022 Menu And you can’t forget about the Watermelon Candy Cocktail, which is returning from years past. Eats We’ll start with the Impossible Albondigas Soup. This plant-based option is made with Impossible meatballs in a vegetable soup for $12.49. IMPOSSIBLE Albondigas Soup: IMPOSSIBLE meatballs in a vegetable soup We really enjoyed this! The meatballs tasted just like pork, and we couldn’t tell at all that they weren’t real meat. They were very tender and juicy, and you get a decent portion for the price. There were 3 large meatballs in the bowl. The soup was a pretty classic veggie soup. Up next was the Loaded Yucca Fries, which are topped with arbol chile cheese sauce, carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, and pickled red onion for $12.49. Loaded Yucca Fries topped with arbol chile cheese sauce, carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, and pickled red onion These were one of our favorite things here! The fries had a thin, crispy exterior with a super fluffy interior. The fresh ingredients on top complemented them well, and we thought it was the perfect snack. The Pozole Dip Torta is next. This is a pozole-braised pork torta with hominy spread, cabbage, radish, cilantro, and jalapeño served with a side of pozole consommé for $12.99. Pozole Dip Torta: Pozole-braised pork torta with hominy spread, cabbage, radish, cilantro, and jalapeño served with a side of pozole consommé Unfortunately, this one was very disappointing. The pozole was greasy and heavy, and it left an oily taste in our mouths. However, the torta was clearly made with high-quality ingredients, and everything else tasted fresh! If you can get past the heaviness of the pozole, the dish comes together pretty well with all the toppings. Pozole Dip Torta: Pozole-braised pork torta with hominy spread, cabbage, radish, cilantro, and jalapeño served with a side of pozole consommé On to the Chicken Tinga Arepa, which is a handmade arepa topped with refried beans, chicken Tinga, cabbage, avocado, and queso fresco. You can get it for $7.99. Chicken Tinga Arepa: Handmade arepa topped with refried beans, chicken Tinga, cabbage, avocado, and queso fresco We thought the arepa might have been a little bit undercooked, but the chicken was soft and had a great flavor. The queso fresco and avocado were great additions and made everything taste more fresh. Inside the Arepa The Chicken Tinga Burrito is made with chicken Tinga, rice, and beans in a flour tortilla served with corn tortilla chips for $12.99. Chicken Tinga Burrito: Chicken Tinga, rice, and beans in a flour tortilla served with corn tortilla chips This one was sadly not as successful as the arepa. Although the chicken inside was soft and a little bit spicy, it got lost in all the other fillings (there was a LOT of rice and beans inside). Overall we thought it was just too bland. Chicken Tinga Burrito: Chicken Tinga, rice, and beans in a flour tortilla served with corn tortilla chips And we ended with dessert! The Mango Tres Leches is a tres leches parfait with white cake and mango purée topped with caramel Chantilly, green whipped topping, and sprinkles. It costs $6.49. Mango Tres Leches: Tres leches parfait with white cake and mango purée topped with caramel Chantilly, green whipped topping, and sprinkles We really enjoyed this treat! The build of the tres leches was nearly perfect, with the soft cake soaking up all the milks. The jammy mango chunks were all at the bottom. Mango Tres Leches: Tres leches parfait with white cake and mango purée topped with caramel Chantilly, green whipped topping, and sprinkles The frosting on top strayed from a traditional tres leches, but we liked that it added some sweetness because we thought that the cake itself needed a little more sugar. Drinks The Watermelon Candy Cocktail is made with tequila, watermelon schnapps, and pineapple juice with a Chamoy and chile-lime seasoned rim for $17. Watermelon Candy Cocktail: Tequila, watermelon schnapps, and pineapple juice with a Chamoy and chile-lime seasoned rim We loved this drink…until the ice started to melt. At first it was beautifully sweet and tasted like fresh watermelon juice with a bit of a tang from that tajin-coated rim. But it was light on the alcohol, and once the ice was melting it almost tasted like an overpriced agua fresca. We wished there were an option to get it at a cheaper price without the alcohol, because we didn’t think the tequila added much to this drink. Overall In general, there were some big wins and some major misses at this booth! Those yucca fries were one of our favorite things we’ve eaten so far, and we also enjoyed the tres leches a lot. However, we probably won’t be getting the chicken burrito or pozole dip torta again in the future.

Put on those Christmas carols and start singing along because we’re taking you to Disneyland with us where the holidays are EVERYWHERE. Terran Treats Holiday merchandise is in the stores, there’s snow on the castle, and the Festival of the Holidays in Disney California Adventure is underway. There are also a ton of new holiday treats to try, and we’re bringing you along with us to try a new churro! The Hot Chocolate Churro has left us a little perplexed, though. It’s a Hazelnut Chocolate, Spicy Chocolate Streusel, and Mini Marshmallows. Um…okay The churro was warm and kinda’ crunchy — we didn’t think it was as fresh as most churros we get in Disneyland. So here’s the thing. We loved EVERYTHING about this churro EXCEPT for the spicy chocolate streusel. We get that it’s supposed to be like a Mexican hot chocolate with a little spice, but it did not work for us at all with the rest of the flavors. Hazelnut Chocolate Spicy Churro When you first bite into it, it just tastes like a hazelnut chocolate and marshmallow churro dream. But then the spice kicks in and it becomes something different. For us, we would’ve preferred it without that. But those who love spicy chocolate just might appreciate these flavors. Too spicy You can try it for yourself at Terran Treats in Avengers Campus for $6.75. Also, stay tuned because we’re trying out ALL the new holiday snacks AND Festival of the Holiday food booths in Disneyland!

Festive decor? Ears themed to the season? A reindeer sipper cup?! Disneyland has it all…and now it has holiday SNACKS too! Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays Over at Disney California Adventure, there are plenty of holiday snacks to pick up thanks to the Festival of Holidays. But Disneyland hasn’t been left out of the fun! At this park, you can now find maple Mickey beignets, a funnel cake that seems confused(!), and more. Getting hungry yet? Well, you’ve been warned! We’re visiting one Disneyland snack spot now to try even MORE treats (and these will get your stomach rumbling). Over at Galactic Grill in Disneyland Park, you’ll find some limited-time holiday snacks. Our Spread First up, we grabbed the Cranberry BBQ Chicken Sandwich. This is a fried chicken sandwich with cranberry-flavored BBQ sauce, provolone, an onion ring, arugula, and citrus bacon aïoli served on a toasted brioche bun. This comes with a choice of Greek yogurt or fries and is priced at $13.79. It’s available from November 11th, 2022 through January 8th, 2023. WOWZA This sandwich was GREAT! The chicken and onion rings were fried wonderfully and had a great crunch to them. They weren’t overly greasy, so that was great. The chicken was also soft and juicy. Pair that with a soft bun and fresh veggies, and you’ve got one tasty dish! We’ll Take Another, Please We especially liked the cranberry-flavored barbecue sauce. It was tangy and sweet, with a slight vinegary flavor to it. Our one complaint? There was so little of the sauce and it was sort of absorbed into the bun by the time we got it, so the taste wasn’t as pronounced. We’d definitely love to see more of the sauce included in this sandwich in the future. Getting Hungry Yet? Overall, we’d consider this snack a WIN and we’d happily take an extra amount of that sauce for dunking in the future. YUM Next up we grabbed the Christmas Punch. This drink is made with pomegranate, cranberry, and orange juices with Sprite served over ice and garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds, cranberries, and a rosemary sprig. It’s priced at $5.49 and is available from November 11th through January 8th. Christmas Punch, Anyone? The drink was light and refreshing, which we really liked. It was more tart than sweet, likely thanks to some of the juices used in it. And it had a slight amount of fizz thanks to the Sprite included in the drink. This was another winner. Though not necessarily something that’ll totally blow your mind, it was tasty! Our Punch Also available at Galactic Grill is a treat called A Cup of Cheer. It’s made with orange cranberry cake with cream cheese icing topped with an orange cream-filled cream puff, dried cranberries, and holiday sprinkles. It’s priced at $6.99 and is available from November 11th through January 8th. We didn’t grab this particular treat on our most recent trip, but if you give it a try, be sure to drop a comment below and tell us your thoughts! Again, remember that these are not the only treats available in Disneyland for the holiday season.

The holiday season in Disneyland means a festival with lots of food booths, decorations all over the park, and of course lots of great treats and snacks! Sleeping Beauty Castle during the holidays We’re heading into Disneyland Park today to try out 2 new treats and see which is worth your time, money, and stomach space. Come along with us to Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor! Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is located on Main Street, U.S.A., so it’s the perfect spot to grab a quick treat while you take in all the holiday decor. But which treat should you choose? There are a couple of limited-time holiday options, and we’re starting with the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich. This treat is made with 2 oatmeal raisin cookies, which are stuck together with cinnamon brown sugar ice cream, and the whole thing is rolled in chocolate and toffee pieces. You can get it for $6.99. Delicious! We loved this treat! The ice cream is one of the best flavors we’ve ever had here. Even the Cast Member said she hopes it becomes a staple option in the future. The cookies were also very soft, which meant the ice cream didn’t ooze out too much when we bit into the treat. Rolled in chocolate Overall, this was definitely a win in our opinion! This was a win! The next treat is the Peppermint Holiday Sundae for $8.49. This is made with 2 scoops of peppermint ice cream, topped with whipped cream, crushed peppermint, and chocolate creme cookies (Oreos), all in a white chocolate-covered waffle cone bowl. Peppermint Holiday Sundae This sundae is pretty simple. The ice cream didn’t have a very strong peppermint flavor. In fact, most of the mintiness came from the crushed peppermint on top. Not overly minty The waffle bowl was VERY sweet with all of that white chocolate (and the added sprinkles), but it was balanced out when we ate it together with the ice cream and crushed mints. If you like subtle peppermint, this is a good option for you! And we think kids will especially love this cute treat. That cone is SWEET! Want to try one or both of these treats? Head to Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor in Disneyland! And you can click here to see more holiday treats at Disneyland.

Hello from the West Coast, where we’re enjoying the official start of the holiday season in Disneyland. Flavors of Wakands We’re drinking out of a reindeer’s head, we’re eating maple beignets, and we’re checking out the Festival of the Holidays in Disney California Adventure. But something else big is going on, too — the premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In honor of that, we’re trying the Flavors of Wakanda food booth in Disneyland! Menu The Flavors of Wakanda booth can be found in the Hollywood Backlot area of California Adventure. It features traditional African dishes! Flavors of Wakanda Menu So let’s dive into some food! Food First up is the Peri Peri Chicken with yellow jollof rice for $9. This chicken was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. We got a hint of sweetness, but also spice with each bite. Although our reporter isn’t the biggest fan of rice, he liked the jollof rice — it had a bit of a kick and he liked the extra flavor of the vegetables in it. Peri Peri Chicken Next up is the Maafe for $9, which is a ground peanut stew with sweet potatoes, tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and spices. It’s served with Naan. Okay, so this was SPICY, like so spicy that you couldn’t taste much of anything else except for a hint of peanut here and there. SPICY The naan is served warm, by the way. Drinks We also got to try the non-alcoholic drink here, the Butterfly Pea Tea Lemonade for $6.50. which is made with Lemonade, Honey, Ginger Beer with Butterfly Pea Tea. The lemonade is tart, but the honey added enough sweetness to balance it. The butterfly pea tea also gave it a hint of a floral flavor. It’s so pretty! All in all, it’s a pretty refreshing drink! You can also an alcoholic version of this drink here for $18.25. Overall If you’re looking for some African-inspired food in Disneyland, be sure to stop by the Flavors of Wakanda. Although we did find the one dish really spicy, we know some people really dig that, so it’s worth checking out! This is also a must for Black Panther fans! This booth should be around until January 8, 2023. We’ll be eating our way around Disneyland a bit more today, trying out all the holiday snacks, and everything at the Festival of the Holidays, so don’t go anywhere!

It’s time for the Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure! Festival of Holidays Decor This yearly event runs from November 11th, 2022 to January 8th, 2023, and we’ve been busy checking out some of the booths that opened early. But, now that the Festival of Holidays has officially started, it’s time to have some treats with the big man himself — Santa!! We’re heading over to the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail to have some Treats for Santa! Menu The Treats for Santa Cart is located on the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, and this year you’ll find two drinks and one snacktivity on the list — a Cookie Decorating Kit! 2022 Treat for Santa Menu Unfortunately when we went, they were out of the Maple Hazelnut Hot Buttered Rum and Cookie Decorating Kit, so keep an eye out for our updated reviews of those items later! Drinks We tried Santa’s Milk & Cookies Hot Cocoa! This is inspired by the upcoming Disney+ series The Santa Clauses and is made with whole milk with flavors of cookies & cream and white chocolate topped with flavored whipped cream — it sounds like a white hot chocolate! Santa’s Milk and Cookies Hot Cocoa This drink was super simple — but in the BEST way. It was really delicious and an interesting take on the traditional hot cocoa. It was hot but drinkable and we didn’t have to wait for it to cool down. The vanilla notes and cookies and cream flavors really came through at the end of each sip. Drinks like this can oftentimes be overly sweet, but we didn’t find that to be the case here! A fun twist on classic cocoa! If this is Santa’s version of hot cocoa, we can certainly understand why he’s so dang jolly all the time. Overall Head on over to the Treats for Santa Cart to get your hands on the Santa’s Milk & Cookies Hot Cocoa — and check back here for our reviews of the Cookie Decorating Kit and the Maple Hazelnut Hot Buttered Rum!

The holidays have arrived in Disney World, and we’re doing what we do best — EATING ALL THE FOOD. Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Okay, so maybe we bought a few pairs of holiday ears and merchandise, and maybe we checked out the holiday decorations, too, but for us, the best part of the holidays is the FOOD. So it’s time to revisit Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar in Disney Springs to check out some new offerings this year! Every year, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar converts itself into Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar with fun decor and food! But today, when we visited the Holiday Bar, it wasn’t quite done yet — none of the decorations are up, and the food isn’t on the menu yet. But we still got to try the new eats! Just looking like its usual self Let’s start with some drinks! Drinks Two of the new menu items we’re trying are drinks, including the Pomegranate Gin and Tonic for $14.50 (seriously, you had us at boozy pomegranate drink, Disney). This is made with St. Augustine Gin, pomegranate juice, and tonic soda, basically what we would call a very classic drink. Cheers! The flavors were well-balanced — we could taste the gin, as well as the tonic. The pomegranate flavor was light but still recognizable. Even better? There’s an entire slice of fresh pomegranate IN the drink, so you can pull that out, pop the seeds, and eat it. That makes this one healthy, right? Check out that pomegranate slice! Then it was time to get our chocolate fix on with the Hot Chocolate Grail Flight for $22. The deviled egg part is so creamy and well-seasoned. We loved the giant chewy chunks of ham on top and it all paired well with the sweet and spiciness of the naughty and nice flavors! This is a MUST if you love savory and sweet flavors together. Warning about the eggs, though — they do have a texture that’s a little weird — the texture of deviled eggs with the fatty texture of the ham could be a problem for people who have issues with food textures. Deviled eggs! We also tried the Turkey Coquettes for $27. Our team of three agreed this was the best of the food we had here! It’s like they took Thanksgiving turkey and turned them into delicious leftovers. They’re super crispy on the outside with turkey and stuffing all blended together on the inside. Each croquette is served on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes, which is a stroke of genius. Our fave! Even better? You can dunk them in a delicious savory turkey gravy. Oh, did we also mention that there are cranberry onions on top? It’s a holiday meal in a little ball and we ARE HERE FOR IT. Thanksgiving leftovers in a ball We ended our meal with Coquito and Cookies for $27. The coquito is very good and made with a lot of coconut milk, but you definitely get the vanilla and cinnamon flavors. It’s like a warm hug (Olaf would love this). You do get a touch of burn from the rum, but it goes down smoothly. If you like eggnog, we’d say try this. Coquito The cookies were GORGEOUS, but also tasty. However, the filling confused us because it was like a holiday spice filling with a hint of tartness — we couldn’t exactly place what it was. But we enjoyed the sweetness and the spices together. Especially with that coquito! Perfect combo The only thing we really missed while nomming on these holiday treats is that the decorations weren’t up yet, but we’re sure they’ll be up later (and we’ll keep an eye on it to let you know!). In the meantime, head on over for some delicious treats that are sure to put you in the holiday spirit! Looking for more holiday fun in Disney Springs?

The holidays have officially begun in Disney World and Hollywood Studios is looking quite festive! Hollywood Studios Christmas Tree The Christmas tree is up, the red and silver stars are lining Sunset Boulevard, and garland is practically everywhere. There was one holiday attraction missing from the park, however…until NOW! The holiday motorcade is BACK in Hollywood Studios! The dancing elves were once again paving the way for the guest of honor, who you can probably guess. The motorcade travels all the way down Hollywood Boulevard. The Holiday Cavalcade! The elves were dressed in festive red and green, and they had ribbons and presents. Also, we saw SNOAP (snow + soap, or Disney’s version of snow) coming from machines on top of Hollywood Boulevard shops! It was a nice touch. Elves Trailing behind the elves were two reindeer and Pluto, who as also wearing reindeer antlers! PLUTO! The reindeer seemed to be having a holly-jolly time. Reindeer! And finally, Santa Claus made his big entrance…in a red convertible! No sleigh here, folks. SANTA! His sleigh…ahem, convertible…has a green letter “s” on the side and some other festive decorations, like garland and presents. You can catch the Santa Claus Motorcade several times a day, so make sure you keep your eyes and ears open so you can catch Santa! Is the convertible an upgrade? If you’re looking for more holiday festivities in Disney World, you can check out the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs, or you might want to visit one of the hotel gingerbread houses, like the gorgeous gingerbread castle in Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

The Walt Disney Company’s last quarter wasn’t as profitable as some investors expected, and stock value for Disney dropped dramatically during their quarterly earnings call. But what effect does that have on the company itself? Walt Disney Company Logo ©Disney With major losses in streaming, Disney is looking at cost-cutting options to keep profits up, and it looks like they might have just decided on one major way to save some money. CNBC obtained an internal memo that Disney CEO Bob Chapek sent out to division leaders on Friday, November 11th. In the memo, Chapek announced that Disney will “institute a targeted hiring freeze.” The timing of this decision seems to correlate with the release of last quarter’s disappointing results. Bob Chapek ©Disney Chapek said, “We are limiting headcount additions through a targeted hiring freeze. Hiring for the small subset of the most critical, business-driving positions will continue, but all other roles are on hold.” He also mentioned that job cuts could be part of this change: “We do anticipate some staff reductions as part of this review.” Other major media companies (like Netflix) have been experiencing layoffs recently. Walt Disney Company Headquarters ©LA Times During Disney’s last earnings call, CFO Christine McCarthy said that Disney is “actively evaluating our cost base currently, and we’re looking for meaningful efficiencies.” Those changes are meant to “provide some near-term savings” as well as “drive longer-term structural benefits.” Christine McCarthy ©The Walt Disney Company Although Disney+ has continued to gain more subscribers, the streaming service (combined with Hulu and ESPN+) lost $1.47 billion last quarter. Disney executives expect the losses to lessen next year, and they’ve predicted that Disney+ will “become profitable by the end of 2024.” ©Disney We’ll keep an eye out for updates about this situation and let you know about any news, so stay tuned to DFB.

Greetings from Disney Springs! Christmas Tree in Disney Springs We’re back in one of our favorite parts of Disney World taking in all the holiday decor, shopping, and snacks! Eating our way through all the new treats for the holidays is not something we take lightly — we do it all in the name of theme park snack science (okay, and for you, too!). And now, it’s time to check out another NEW treat over in Disney Springs! Marketplace Snacks is located in the Disney Springs Marketplace, and right now they’re serving up a very trendy treat — bubble waffles! For the holiday season, you can get a Santa Mickey Mouse Bubble Waffle for $8.99. It’s a fresh bubble waffle cone filled with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and red and green M&Ms with a white chocolate Santa hat and chocolate Pocky sticks. Marketplace Snacks We LOVED this waffle — the outside was warm and crispy while the inside was light and fluffy. It had a nice crunch without being too tough. The warm waffle combined with the cold vanilla ice cream is such a fun combination, and there was a good amount of chocolate sauce on the sundae too. It was pretty well-balanced in terms of vanilla and chocolate, though we did find the vanilla ice cream to be a bit on the icy side. Santa Mickey Mouse Bubble Sundae! The M&Ms were a festive touch that added a hard crunch, so if you’re not into crunchy bits in your ice cream keep that in mind. We loved the Mickey Oreo ears and almost wish there had been some crushed Oreo action here as well. The white chocolate Santa hat was a cute addition, but was too sweet and artificial tasting for us. A new holiday treat Overall, this is a fun frozen treat for vanilla ice cream fans or those who don’t want a whole lot of fanfare in their sundaes. Sometimes all you need is a good vanilla and chocolate combination to hit the spot! We’d also argue that this bubble waffle sundae is pretty sharable depending on your hunger level, so keep that in mind too. But, it was really just a plain ol’ vanilla and chocolate sundae — there are so many other incredible desserts to try in Disney Springs instead! Santa Bubble Waffle We’re trying all sorts of festive holiday snacks around Disney World, and you can some of our reviews out here, here, and here!

Okay, Disney fans, we know we’ve all had our magical moments, our embarrassing moments, and our funny moments in the Disney Parks. Heya, Mickey! So we decided to ask YOU, our DFB readers, about your most magical moments in the parks, and you did not disappoint — here are just some of the stories you told us! Enjoy! Our reader Tim couldn’t just pick one, though, and proceeded to tell us about many magical moments that have happened for every one of his family’s Disney Parks trip. Tim wrote: “Yes, every trip. From the Maintenance Employee who stopped sweeping, bowed, and addressed my 8-year old dressed as a princess as “Your Majesty”, the Room Cleaning staff that make towel animals each evening, to the Wait Staff that gather recipes for our favorite recipes at Jikos, the employees make each trip outstanding. As much as I complain about the scaled back product being offered (lack or airport transport, no meal plan, no free Fastpass for Disney hotel guests) the staff do an absolute amazing job each time we are there. A tough job to do in an ever changing environment.” Cast Members ARE the magic We couldn’t agree more — Cast Members are always part of the magic! DFB reader @anneonice had a funny Mickey story to share: “Several years ago at Tusker House, Mickey ‘stole’ my phone and took photos of everyone.” Oh, Mickey, you silly mouse! Mickey can be cheeky sometimes Angela had a special birthday story to share: “I celebrated my birthday this past September in MK. We were on Jungle Cruise (my favorite!) and while the boats were backed up going back to the dock the Skipper had everyone sing Happy Birthday to me!” Now that’s what we call a birthday surprise! Birthdays can be special at Disney World Our reader, @em_arceo reminded us that sometimes it’s just the little things that can take something bad and turn it into something good. ” I sat my bag in a spilled drink on Star Tours. While I cleaned up, A CM let my kids ride again.” Susan shared a particularly poignant moment (okay, this one made us cry): “Our first trip, we were in the hat shop on main as our son was picking out his first ears. I started sobbing as it all hit me (infertility that had us wondering if we would ever have a Disney family trip) Cast member asked if I was okay, I explained the situation. Cast member asked for our camera to capture us trying on ears then gifted our son his first ears with his name. I cried harder…..” Mickey ear hat DFB reader @marinda_30 said, “I feel the magic every time Tinker Bell flies during the MK fireworks.” Um…HARD SAME. That really is one of the most beautiful things you can see in Disney World! Disney Enchantment Even adults get treated like princes and princesses in Disney Parks. Teresa said, “Yes! My Mother’s first (only) trip at the age of 62. Upon entering Magic Kingdom that 1st morning, the Dapper Dans noticed her and started talking with her and said “You don’t want to waste your time here; let’s get you to the Main Attraction.” They whisked her away on the trolley right to the castle, singing to her the whole way! They treated her so special. She was beaming. That is the “Magic” of Disney.” Dapper Dans Our reader @_officialariana1_ had a truly amazing experience: “Pulling the sword out of the stone on my 18th birthday.” So it DOES come out! That must’ve been an incredible feeling! It does come out! Madison told a story about when a stroller got stolen in the park, but Disney Cast Members made everything okay: “When I was 5, it was our first trip to Disney as a family! We went into the Land Pavilion and when we got out OUR STROLLER HAD BEEN STOLEN! It was SO crazy! All of our souvenirs were gone. My mom was freaking out. Luckily 2 CM saw and helped us. One took me over to a ice cream cart where I got my first mickey ice cream bar, while the other called my mom down and radioed other CM’s who were able to replace our stroller and all of our souvenirs and if they didn’t have that souvenir in the park they gave us a disney gift card to cover the costs. It was CRAZY! We’ve had many other magical moments but this was always the one that stuck out to me the most!” Stroller parking One of our readers, @sharon_whalen, spent time at Disney World during Hurricane Ian, but still managed to have a favorite moment from that trip: “Playing games and trivia during Hurricane Ian with Goofy & Pooh at Beach Club.” Disney’s Beach Club Resort This is why so many of us continue to return to Disney Parks and take Disney cruises — even a bad day can and often does become a good day thanks to the magic made by Disney and its Cast Members.
