Whether you agree with what he’s done or not — Bob Chapek has changed the House of Mouse forever. Bob Chapek Since first taking the helm as Chief Executive Officer almost three full years ago, Chapek has faced no shortage of challenges both specific to The Walt Disney Company and on a broader, more global scale as well. So, what all has transpired since Bob Chapek took over as The Walt Disney Company CEO? Let’s take a closer look. February 2020 Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? Bob Chapek first took over as Chief Executive Officer in February 2020, after Bob Iger suddenly stepped down as CEO. Chapek previously served as Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products. ©CNBC Iger shared a brief statement about stepping down, and thus began Chapek’s chaotic tenure as CEO. March 2020 With the COVID-19 Pandemic raging throughout much of the globe, the Walt Disney Company closed the doors to both Disney World and Disneyland in March 2020. Disneyland This was no doubt not an ideal situation for the then-fresh CEO Chapek to have to deal with, but it was later revealed that his predecessor Bob Iger had stayed on to help with the uncertainty. July 2020 After the longest closure in Disney World history, the parks and resorts began a phased reopening in July 2020. Enhanced health and safety measures were enacted, park capacity was limited, and the Park Pass Reservation System was introduced. Disney’s health and safety policies follow the federal requirements Slowly but surely, we’ve seen hotels, restaurants, special experiences, and more return to Disney World. September 2020 In response to the global pandemic and much of the world still under shutdown orders, Disney+ introduced Premier Access on the streaming service platform. Since most movie theaters were closed and not showing films, Disney decided to have the premieres at home. AMC Theater Disney Springs The live-action Mulan was the first movie to get this treatment — subscribers had to pay an additional $30 to watch the film before it was released to the rest of the platform. How Much Money Has Disney+ Made With Premier Access? March 2021 After launching in 2019, the price for a Disney+ subscription remained at $6.99 per month or $69.99 annually for almost two years — almost. ©Disney In March 2021, the first price increase came to Disney+ and it was raised to $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually. April 2021 Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure both reopened on April 30th, 2021 after being closed for more than one year. The Park Pass Reservation System was introduced here as well. Disney California Adventure Just like Disney World, not everything opened all at once and Disneyland had to contend with the strict health and safety guidelines in California. August 2021 Although Disneyland had reopened its doors, the Annual Passport System did not return — at least not like it used to be. The Magic Key Program was launched in August 2021. Magic Key Logo The new program came with tiers, each with different benefits depending on what you pay for your pass. September 2021 Not to be outdone, Disney World also introduced an overhaul of their Annual Pass System, with new sales beginning in September 2021. Annual Passholder Bucket Not only was this a brand-new system, but it also came with a price increase for the passes. October 2021 After much anticipation, the Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebrations kicked off on October 1st, 2021. Bob Chapek came to Magic Kingdom to celebrate, and so did hundreds of special snacks, and merchandise items, and we even got some new entertainment out of it. Cinderella Castle for the 50th Anniversary On October 19th, 2021, Disney Genie and Genie+ launched in Disney World. Genie+ was the new, paid replacement to the old FastPass+ system and the fastest way to skip to the front of the line. Disney Genie Those pesky price increases were at it again in October 2021, this time in the form of a Disneyland ticket and parking cost hike. January 2022 Hundreds of price increases hit Disney World restaurants in early 2022. The menu While price increases have always been a part of Disney history and aren’t necessarily because of Chapek, we think they’re still important to note. August 2022 In August 2022, it was announced that a new ad-supported tier would be coming to Disney+, and price increases would be coming along with it. ©Disney The new ad-free tier starts at $10.99 per month, and there are several other tiers and bundles to choose from. This goes into effect on December 8th, 2022. Bob Chapek recently commented that they “dramatically underestimated the hungry beast” as it pertains to Disney+. Read More About the Disney+ Ads Price Increase Here Also in August 2022, Magic Key Passholders were in for a rude awakening when the news finally broke about pass renewals. Welcome Magic Key Holders! Current key holders were able to renew, but at a much higher price. Learn More About Magic Key Here September 2022 In addition to Disney+ seeing a new plan with increased prices, it was announced that the Disney-owned Hulu streaming service would also see a cost hike. ©Hulu And then, in October, the Hulu price increase arrived. Read About the Hulu Price Increase Here October 2022 Remember those price increases we said were pretty common throughout Disney World? We meant it, and in October 2022 hundreds more price increases hit restaurants and more. Special experiences like private PhotoPass sessions, lightsaber, and droid-building also went up in price. PhotoPass station and photographer At the same time, Disney also announced that Genie+ would no longer be just $15 per person per day, and would instead be subject to surge pricing depending on the date of your visit.

Ronto Wrap This is a more adventurous option, however, so if you’ve got pickier eaters in the group, this may not be the best option for them! For those that are more adventurous though, this is a great option to really make you feel like you’re in a galaxy far, far away. You can get the Ronto Morning Wrap which is made with eggs, grilled pork sausage, shredded cheddar, and peppercorn sauce in pita bread for $12.49. Morning Wrap Or the standard Ronto Wrap which is made with roasted pork, grilled pork sausage, peppercorn sauce, and tangy slaw wrapped in pita bread for $12.49 as well. There is also a Triple Suns Plant Based Breakfast Wrap option for $11.49. Read our review of the Ronto Wrap here! Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land is another great quick-service restaurant with tasty breakfast options that will give you a great dose of protein to start your day.

Are you the kind of person who has a hard time deciding what to eat when you go out? Delicious drinks, bite-sized appetizers, fresh seafood, breakfast for dinner — there’s just so much to choose from! ©The Ben Well, if you head over to The Ben, a boutique hotel in downtown West Palm Beach, you don’t need to pick just one thing. With this new menu item, you can have your drink and eat it too! This overloaded Bloody Mary is a thing to behold! Called The Benjamin, this mega-sized drink is a traditional Bloody Mary with the exception of the toppings. The traditional celery stick has been traded in for some more filling options, like sushi rolls, lamb chops, lobster tails, and other delicacies (The Orlando Sentinel). This gigantic creation doesn’t come cheap, though — it’s $100! Do you think you could finish this? © Palm Beach Influence It was created by the hotel’s new executive chef Marc Rosen, and diners can customize their Benjamin to their tastes. Not a fan of seafood? Swap out those items for something less nautical like a chicken slider. Don’t want the alcohol? These drinks also can be made without booze. It’s basically a shareable meal for 2 with a cocktail added onto the end! ©Orlando Sentinel The hotel’s general manager, Bernardo Neto, told The Palm Beach Post that the Benjamin is so big you couldn’t see the person sitting across from you when it’s placed on the table. With its size, it’s a bit easier to understand why the Benjamin costs a Benjamin! If you want to try one out yourself, visit The Ben West Palm to dine at either their Proper Grit Whiskey Library or Spruzzo, their rooftop bar. That’s about a 2.5-hour drive from Disney World, so if you’re staying in Orlando then it might be a bit of a trek to get to this impressive snack. Still, for big fans of Bloody Marys, maybe the drink is worth the trip! While we’re on the subject of unique foods, check out some of the latest eats that premiered in Magic Kingdom!

Disney World is made up of 4 different theme parks: EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, did you know about the 5th “park” in Disney World? Disney Springs Disney Springs isn’t technically a park, so you don’t need to pay for a ticket to get inside. It’s home to all kinds of fantastic restaurants, huge gift shops, and even a few attractions. This is one of our favorite places to get a bite to eat — there are so many great options for eats and treats! Come along with us to check out a new “secret” treat here along with some other updates. Disney Springs Food Updates Swirls on the Water Swirls on the Water is a newer snack kiosk in Disney Springs that serves a variety of Dole Whip flavors! We’ve tried some very tasty treats here in the past (including a Dole Whip FLIGHT), and recently we found a new “secret” menu item. Swirls on the Water How is it secret, you might ask? When Disney announced this new treat, they said that guests would have to say “trick or treat!” in order to “unlock” it. However, when we stopped by, there was a sign out announcing the Trick or Treat Cone, and no one was really using the code words. This might change in the future! What Do You Think? The Trick or Treat Cone is made with a black vanilla-flavored cone, a swirl of pumpkin and purple cheesecake soft-serve, orange and purple sprinkles, and a Mickey Mouse shortbread cookie covered in dark chocolate. You can get it for a limited time for $6.49. Click here to read our full review of this treat. Disney Springs Merchandise Updates Let’s take a look at some new Disney souvenirs now! Stance Over at the Town Center area in Disney Springs, you can head to Stance to find all kinds of unique socks — including both Disney and non-Disney designs. When we were here last, we spotted some new Star Wars socks for $19.99 each! ‘Star Wars’ Socks There were some featuring Star Wars landscapes… Landscape …a Darth Vader design… Darth Vader …and one that had an image of Boba Fett. You can also get a group pack of these socks for $60. Group pack The pack comes with 3 pairs. Basin Over at Basin, you can find lots of luxurious bath products, like bath bombs and body scrubs. On our most recent visit, we found a new Disney Princess Royal Body Scrub in a sweet chiffon scent. Body Scrub You can get it now for $39.99.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Strollers at Disney. For many, they are a necessity and can provide benefits when you pick the correct one for your trip. So many stroller options! Without proper research, you may end up with a stroller that is more of a burden than an asset! For everyone who is Disney-bound and wants to know which strollers to go for and which ones to steer clear of, we’re going over the top picks and whether they’re a good fit for your trip or not. Walt Disney World Stroller Guidelines Disney World has its own rules when it comes to bringing your own stroller. The main guidelines listed on their site are as follows: Strollers larger than 31” (79 cm) in width and 52” (132cm) in length are not permitted. Stroller wagons are also not permitted. Strollers are not allowed on escalators. Use of strollers is permitted on elevators and ramps, available at certain locations. A child must be removed from his or her stroller while riding on a parking lot tram. Do not leave personal belongings in an unattended stroller. Strollers may be moved by a Cast Member due to operational needs. When choosing a stroller for your next trip, things to keep in mind are the dimensions, wheel performance, weight, and ease with which you can break it down. The ground in the parks can be quite uneven at times, and it can get tricky pushing a stroller through a crowd of other guests. Because strollers need to be broken down when getting on and off different transportation in and out of the parks, you’ll want something that is easy to set up and break down to avoid headaches. The Top Strollers of 2023 We have reviewed some of the top strollers people are buying for 2023. We looked over different attributes that may be helpful (or burdensome) on a trip to Disney, and have included the measurement specifications as well. These strollers cover a variety of needs as well as budgets, so keep reading to see which stroller is best for you! UPPAbaby Vista V2 The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a favorite amongst parents because it is easy to install, rolls easily on a variety of terrains, and is sturdy. These are all important factors to consider when bringing a stroller system to Disney. You’ll be operating your stroller across bumpy sidewalks and don’t want to deal with sticky wheels, and being able to quickly break it down helps when you’re getting on and off busses and other transportation. UPPAbaby Vista V2 Stroller At 25.7 inches wide and 32.8 inches long, it does fit into Disney’s specifications. If you have an infant and are looking for a travel system, this is a good option. Keep in mind it does have a few parts to keep track of, and altogether it weighs a hefty 76.8 pounds. It’s also pretty pricey at just under $1,400 on Amazon. Click here to buy the UPPAbaby Vista V2! Bugaboo Donkey 5 This stroller converts from single to double, a unique feature that might work well for parents who have two children where one doesn’t need a stroller the entire time, or for a couple who wants to plan ahead. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is relatively light, especially considering it’s a double stroller, weighing just 49 pounds, which can be a bonus when you’re toting it around the parks. Bugaboo Donkey 5 It also fits within Disney’s width standards, even when expanded. At its widest the Donkey 5 is just 29 inches wide, and also fits within the length measurements. This stroller is not a complete system, so you’ll need to find a car seat that integrates with the correct adapters, which are sold separately. This is another expensive stroller at $1,399, plus you’ll need to buy the adapters and a car seat on top of that. Click here to buy the Bugaboo Donkey 5! Bob Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller Jogging strollers are a popular choice when it comes to picking one to bring to Disney World. They tend to be lighter than other strollers as well as slimmer. The Revolution Flex 3.0 fits the bill at just 28.5 pounds. A lighter and slimmer stroller is a big advantage when you’re trying to navigate crowded Disney parks. We checked the dimensions for this jogging stroller and it fits within the specifications, at 45 inches long and 24.5 inches wide. BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller This stroller folds down easily and is compact for storage. Being on the smaller side, you can get this for a lower price at just $494.99 if you opt for just the stroller. They also offer an entire travel system, which comes with a compatible car seat, for $799.99. This is still cheaper than some of the other options on the market, and if having a lightweight stroller is a priority for you, consider checking this one out! Click here to buy the Bob Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller! Chicco Viaro Quick-Fold Travel System This stroller fits somewhere between a jogger and a traditional stroller. It has the typical three-wheeled design of a jogger but is more robust, plus it also features a reclining seat to keep your little one comfortable throughout the day. The Viaro Quick-Fold lives up to its name with an easy one-hand folding system, perfect for quickly breaking down the stroller with one hand before hopping on your bus back to your resort while the other holds all your souvenirs from the day. Reviewers say this stroller is durable and heavy-duty, which is important for those who will be checking their strollers into baggage claim when flying. With the included car seat, this travel system is basically everything you need when traveling with an infant. The two cup holders are an added bonus, as many strollers don’t include these and you’d have to pay extra for a clip-on version. At $399.99, this is more budget-friendly than some options. Click here to buy the Chicco Viaro Quick-Fold Travel System! Thule Urban Glide 2 Jogging Stroller Last but not least, we have another jogging stroller! As people travel more, light strollers are becoming more popular as people value weight over fancy accessories. Like the Chicco Viaro, the Thule Urban Glide 2 has a one-handed folding feature. It also is super light, weighing only 25 pounds, and fits within Disney’s specifications at 36 inches long and 25.5 inches wide. This stroller has large wheels which navigate bumpy roads and sidewalks easily. The large wheels not only make it easy to maneuver, but they also offer a smooth ride, perfect for those times when your baby has fallen asleep and you don’t want to wake them up! It even has a magnetic peek-a-boo window to check on them without disturbing the canopy. This stroller has tons of 5-star reviews, with reviewers loving the maneuverability as well as the large basket beneath for ample storage. At $649.95, the Urban Glide falls in the middle of the price ranges we have reviewed. Click here to buy the Thule Urban Glide 2 Jogging Stroller! There is no best or worst stroller to bring to Disney World! When it comes to picking one, consider what elements are important to you and your family and look for a stroller than fulfills most of those requirements. We hope you were able to find something that suited your needs, or at least helped you get on the right track so you and your family have a wonderful time on your next Disney vacation!

When it comes to good eats at Disney World resorts, most guests probably think of deluxe hotels like Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Don’t underestimate dining at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Perhaps that’s why Disney’s Coronado Springs, a moderate resort, often gets overlooked when it comes to food. But we’re here to tell you — don’t sleep on dining here because there are some great eats. We’re going to break down all the dining options at Coronado Springs (and there are A LOT) and give you some ideas of what to order at each one! The one thing that sets Coronado Springs dining apart is that there are SO many options. You’ve got standard quick-service, but you’ve also got some great bars and lounges, as well as table-service restaurants. You’re sure to find something to please everyone at Coronado Springs, so let’s take a look at your options! Barcelona Lounge If you’re in the mood for Spanish-style tapas and drinks, you’ll want to head straight to Barcelona Lounge. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but in the afternoon, you can grab some artisanal cocktails you can’t find anywhere else in Disney World. If you have a chance, be sure to order up the Passion Fruit Sangria — you will NOT be disappointed. It’s a secret menu item, so you’ll have to request it by name. Passion Fruit Sangria If you’re a charcuterie kind of person (and who isn’t these days?), the charcuterie here is not only delicious but also a great bargain! Read our review of Barcelona Lounge Cafe Rix Although Cafe Rix is mostly grab-and-go items, it’s got one thing that sets it apart from most quick-service restaurants in Disney World — it has a GELATO BAR. Gelato Bar We’re just going to say it — you can never go wrong with gelato. But if you’re also wanting a quick and easy bite to eat, this is your go-to at Coronado Springs. Take a photo tour of Cafe Rix Dahlia Lounge Okay, you know location is EVERYTHING, right? Well, Dahlia Lounge is at the top of Coronado Springs’ Gran Destino Tower, meaning you get great views of just about everything! There’s also a rooftop patio, where you can enjoy a drink while enjoying views of EPCOT, Blizzard Beach, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This is a great place to get away from Disney-esque theming for a bit without having to actually leave Disney. Here’s the view at night! But don’t just come here for the view, be sure to order up the Croquettes and sip on a Tequila Daisy. If tequila isn’t your thing, though, you’ll find an amazing selection of Spanish wines here. Read a review of Dahlia Lounge Laguna Bar If you find yourself craving things with tequila and mezcal, be sure to drop by the Laguna Bar. We especially like the margaritas here. Laguna Bar You’ll also get a lovely view of the lake at Coronado Springs, Lago Dorado. If you need to relax and destress, this is the place to do it. Sometimes all you need is a place to chill with a margarita, right? Check out a Laguna Bar review Siestas Cantina If you’re lazing around the pool near the Dig Site at Coronado Springs, drop by Siestas Cantina for a refreshing drink. We can assure you that the bartenders here are some of the best you’ll find in Disney World! However, be sure to order up the Firecracker Shrimp — it’s one of our favorite things to eat at this resort! Spicy Sauce on that Firecracker Shrimp! Seriously, we LOVE that shrimp. Read our review of the Firecracker Shrimp Maya Grill Okay, so Maya Grill is one of those restaurants that often goes overlooked at Disney World, and that just makes us sad. The atmosphere AND food here are incredible, and we’ve had some great dining experiences here. The setting is all Mayan, and it does make you feel like you’ve stepped inside a Mayan temple. This is also where you’ll find some of the best churros in all of Disney World. Are these the best churros at Disney World? However, we also highly recommend the Margarita Flight, Cochinita Pibil, and the Baja Fish Tacos. Do NOT skip out on this restaurant! Here’s more about those churros El Mercado de Coronado Yes, El Mercado de Coronado is a food court, but this is one of the few food courts in Disney World that serve up some unique Spanish-themed options. You’re not going to find things like Roasted Mojo Pork Loin, Ancho Rubbed Bone-In Chicken Breast, and Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf at any other food court in Disney World. El Mercado de Coronado So if you want a quick bite to eat that isn’t standard food court fare, now you know where to go. Check out a review of El Mercado de Coronado Rix Sports Bar & Grill Maybe you think places with the words “bar and grill” in them are boring, but Rix Sports Bar & Grill will change your mind. Yes, the food here is standard bar food, but there are some standouts here that you need to try like Watchos (nachos made with waffle fries!!!) and the Cotton Candy Cheesecake. Watchos at Rix So this is bar food, but elevated. If you’ve ever been to City Works in Disney Springs, Rix Sports Bar & Grill is a lot like that. Learn more about those Watchos Toledo — Tapas, Steak & Seafood If you’re in the mood for table service, look no further than Toledo. One, you’ll get a great view because this restaurant is next to Dahlia Lounge on top of the Gran Destino Tower. Two, it’s got a romantic atmosphere that is PERFECT for a date night in Disney World, especially if you time your reservation during the EPCOT fireworks. Be sure to order the Chef’s Signature Meal For Two — we liked almost EVERYTHING about that meal. The Ribeye! You can get that Tequila Daisy here, too, along with a great selection of wine. Like we said, this is THE date night spot in Disney World. Read a recent review of Toledo Three Bridges Bar & Grill Three Bridges is another of those hidden secrets at Disney World. It’s patio dining with a water view, and the food is outstanding. There are also a lot of fun details that even include nods to DuckTales! What’s not to love? If you want some amazing Guacamole, you’ll find it here. This guac! We can also recommend the Poke Bowl with Chicken and the La Fresa Limonada. Here’s our most recent review of Three Bridges So if you find yourself craving something a little different in Disney World and are either staying at Coronado Springs or don’t mind taking the time to get there, be sure to stop by for some great dining you might have missed out on otherwise. With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals. That’s why we wrote the DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World.
