We are sad to report that beloved Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane has passed away. ©Everett/Collection/Getty Robbie Coltrane was best known for his role in the British crime series Cracker and for playing Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, and he died on October 14th at age 72. According to Deadline, Robbie Coltrane has been in ill health for the past two years, and he passed away at a hospital close to his home in Larbert, Scotland. He was a BAFTA award-winning actor for his role as forensic psychologist Dr. Edward “Fitz” Coltrane in Cracker, and he gained worldwide popularity playing the Hogwarts groundskeeper Hagrid in the Harry Potter films. ©Warner Bros. Coltrane was born on March 30th, 1950 in Rutherglen, Scotland as Anthony Robert McMillan, and he later took the stage name Robbie Coltrane as an homage to jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. In the 1990s he played Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky in the James Bond films GoldenEye and The World is Not Enough, and he also had roles in the films Mona Lisa, Nuns on the Run, and Ocean’s 12. ©Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images Coltrane was named an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2006 and he is survived by his two children.

Thinking about finally planning that Disney World vacation you’ve been dreaming about? Cinderella Castle We know the feeling. But, there are a TON of things to consider before you actually get down to the nitty-gritty. Where do you want to stay? What parks do you want to visit? And maybe most importantly — WHEN should you go? If you’ve got Disney World on your brain and can’t decide whether a 2023 or 2024 trip is right for you, we’re laying it all out for you right here! Whether it’s your first time or fiftieth time visiting Disney World, there’s going to be at least a little bit of planning involved. But before you can decide where to stay or what delicious snacks you’ll chow down on — you have to decide just when you’ll be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth. So, let’s find out if you should book a 2023 or 2024 vacation to Disney World! Special Events and Experiences You’ll usually find some sort of special event going on around Disney World, but some are only around for a limited time! The 50th Anniversary Celebrations are happening just through March 2023, so if you’re wanting to experience that event — a 2023 trip might be for you. And, although we don’t know what’s in store for the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration in Disney World, we do know it’ll begin in 2023. The World’s Most Magical Celebration Disney After Hours events are coming back in 2023! Both Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will host separately ticketed, late-night events featuring special snacks and more. Chances are these events could continue into 2024, but if you want to be there for their return — consider booking your trip for early 2023. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Most of Disney World has returned to normal operations, but there are still some experiences that have yet to come back. The Disney Dining Plan is a BIG one that still hasn’t returned, and although Disney confirmed it will be coming back — we just don’t know when. If not having the Disney Dining Plan is a deal breaker for you, holding out until 2024 just in case it’s back by then might not be a bad idea! Is the 100th Anniversary Coming to Disney World? Ticket Prices Disney World already raised ticket prices for 2023, so either way, you’re going to be paying more for your trip than you would have in 2022. Disneyland also just announced a price increase for tickets, and it’s possible that yet another hike could hit Disney World tickets before 2024. Ticket prices could increase But, if you’ve already resolved yourself to the fact that you’ll be paying more either way and don’t mind digging into your pockets just a little deeper, a 2024 visit could work too — especially if you’re waiting for most of those construction projects to be done around Disney World by then. Price increases on food, merch, and more tend to be an annual thing. So that’s just something to keep in mind! Why Disney Will Cost You THOUSANDS More in 2023 Major Openings Speaking of construction projects, major changes are happening all around Disney World right now. Between hotel renovations, new restaurants, and the latest attractions opening — there is a LOT going on. Journey of Water construction — Early October 2022 Both TRON: Lightcycle Run and Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana are slated to open in spring 2023 and late 2023 respectively, and if you just can’t wait to experience these attractions, a trip to the parks next year sounds like it’s in your future. Latest construction A new fireworks show will also be debuting at EPCOT in 2023, and we’re hopeful that the EPCOT Transformation will finally be complete by then as well. A NEW fireworks show is coming to EPCOT But, if you’re waiting for the Splash Mountain re-theme to be finished so you can ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, well, you’re probably going to want to wait until 2024 as that’s when the ride is slated to be done. Plus, by that time both TRON and the Moana attractions will be open so you can experience all of Disney World’s new rides! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure model A lot can happen around Disney World until then, so keep all of this in mind when you’re deciding whether you should book a 2023 or 2024 vacation. Either way, you can be sure we’ll be bringing you the BEST planning advice and tips — like the hardest dining reservations to get in 2023 and how to save $1,000 on your trip.

You might think that finding plant-based eats in Disney World is hard, but you could be wrong. Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter We’re seeing more plant-based options added to Disney World menus all the time! From plant-based Mickey waffles to plant-based Totchos to the Toasted “Lobster” Roll in Hollywood Studios, there are several snacks and meals that Disney World’s vegan guests can enjoy. Now we’re trying out even MORE plant-based options from Scat Cat’s Club at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter! First up are the Sassy Sassagoula Sliders, which feature three sliders with three distinct flavor profiles: spicy, sweet, and savory — the three “S’s,” if you will. Yes, they really are bringing the “sass” as their name suggests. Sassy Sassagoula Sliders The first slider we tried was the spicy one — and when we say spicy, we mean . It’s made with fried green tomatoes with giardiniera and pepper jelly. This is certainly more spice than some Disney World guests might expect, so just consider yourself warned. But if you love spicy food, you will love this slider. There’s a hint of sweetness coming from the fried green tomato, but this one is just about bringing the heat! The slaw adds a nice bit of crunch. SO Spicy! The second one we tried was the savory slider. This one was IMMEDIATELY our favorite — it has a lot of garlicky salty flavor that nearly brought tears of joy to our eyes. It’s a “fish” cake with spicy rémoulade and arugula and it reminded us of a McDonald’s Big Mac, but with seafood flavors. However, this slider is VERY salty (hey, another “s” word!). The pickled red onions also added a nice tanginess to it. Savory Finally, we dug into the sweet slider. It’s a barbecue jackfruit sandwich with fried pickles and slaw with a sweet barbecue sauce. The fried pickles, which were nice and crispy, get a little lost by the flavor and texture of the jackfruit, and we would’ve liked more of them. We would eat these fried pickles on their own, too, so Disney might need to add these to the menu! Sweet We also stopped in to grab some Plant-Based Beignets because why not? What’s great about these is that they’re good for people with pretty much any kind of food allergy. You do get an option to get one of three sauces, but we opted just to enjoy the beignets as is — and that was the perfect decision. They are DELICIOUS and don’t need any kind of sauce at all. They were drowned in powdered sugar (the ONLY way to eat beignets, right?) and were HUGE. We would TOTALLY eat these again! Plant-based beignets Looking for more delicious vegan options in Disney World? Be sure to read our guide about vegan dining! You’ll find a little something for everyone in Disney World restaurants, and if you don’t see something on the menu, just ask your server — Disney is great about accommodating dietary requests. If you are concerned about dietary restrictions before your trip, you can view Disney World’s menus on their website or via the My Disney Experience app. Plus when you make advance dining reservations, you can make a note on your reservations about any dietary needs you may have.

Julieta Madrigal, Mirabel’s magical mother from Disney’s Encanto, has decided to share her famous arepas con queso recipe with us, and we couldn’t be more excited! These arepas from the 2022 Flower and Garden Festival are topped with melted queso fresco. Yum! We’ve seen some arepas in the Disney parks, like the melted queso fresco version available in EPCOT during the 2022 Flower and Garden Festival, but now you can enjoy this comfort food at home whenever you want. While you probably won’t be able to heal injuries with your food like Julieta does, Disney says that these are so delicious you might just have people lining up for them anyways! If you’ve seen Encanto, you will probably remember it’s Julieta’s gift that allowed her to cure others’ ailments with her food (if only we could do that in real life!). One of the dishes we see her feeding Mirabel to heal a cut on her hand is these arepas con queso, a savory cake made with a corn-based dough that is combined with cheese and then all fried together. Fried bread mixed with cheese? Yep, that sounds like our kind of snack! Okay, raise your hand if you saw these in the movie and IMMEDIATELY wanted to have on! © Encanto, Disney Disney shared the recipe for these arepas on their Twitter account, and it only requires 7 ingredients. The steps are fairly simple too, so even if you are a novice chef, don’t be afraid to try it out! The recipe makes roughly 7 arepas, and we think they would make an excellent side dish for a larger group. If the weather where you live is starting to get colder around this time of year, a nice warm plate of cheesy arepas is just the thing for a chilly fall night! We can’t wait to try these! © Disney To make your own arepas con queso, gather these ingredients and follow the steps below: Ingredients: 9 ounces of white cornmeal 2 tablespoons of warm butter 3 pinches of salt Olive oil 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese 10 ounces of warm water Optional: Thin slices of queso fresco Recipe: First, add your cornmeal to a mixing bowl. Then, slowly add your butter, salt, and water, mixing with your hands until the dough becomes sticky. If your dough becomes dry and crumbly, add more water. If it’s too sticky or watery, add more cornmeal. Once your dough reaches an even texture, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and incorporate it all into the dough with your hands. Next, scoop out clumps of the dough — these should be a little smaller than the size of your fist. Roll each clump into a ball, then press gently between your palms to flatten it into a circle. They should be about half an inch thick. Place each uncooked arepa on parchment paper so they have a place to rest before cooking. After they are all formed drizzle your olive oil into a saucepan or skillet and heat to medium. Once the oil is hot, add enough arepas into the pan so they still have space in between and aren’t touching. Let each side cook until golden, which should take approximately 7 minutes per side. Once each arepa is evenly cooked, transfer to a plate and let cool for a moment before digging in! If you wish, you can add toppings like queso fresco or more butter. Share and enjoy! (Or keep them all to yourself because you worked hard and deserve it!) Try out this recipe and see what you think — it just might become your new favorite home-cooked meal!

One of Disney World’s fanciest restaurants is about to reopen in EPCOT! Soon, you’ll be able to head to the France pavilion to indulge in luxurious French cuisine at Monsieur Paul Restaurant. Monsieur Paul in Epcot’s France Pavilion This spot has an upscale ambiance and has been known in the past for serving beautiful (and expensive) food along with carefully selected wine pairings. When it reopens, Monsieur Paul will have an all-new prix fixe menu — take a look at the new items here! Reservations are open now for Monsieur Paul’s return, which will be on October 18th, 2022. Disney announced that this restaurant will have a prix fixe menu when it returns, and that menu will feature a gastronomic meal, which is a popular style of meal in France that emphasizes “the art of eating and drinking well.” Seating The new items are still after the style of Chef Bocuse, who opened Les Chefs de France at EPCOT in 1982. So if you’ve been to this restaurant before, you can expect a similar style and quality of food when you return to this spot. And if you haven’t been before, get ready to enjoy the creations of the chef who achieved 3 Michelin stars for 53 years straight at his famous restaurant in Lyon. Monsieur Paul Now let’s look at the food! A prix fixe menu means that you’ll pay a set price (which isn’t yet listed on the menu) and then choose from different options for each course. To start, you’ll get a starter cocktail, which is a glass of champagne with a cheese puff gougère. You’ll also choose an appetizer — options include a Maine Lobster salad, Saffron mussels soup, or Escargot. ©Disney Next is the fish course. You can choose between sea bass in puff pastry, snapper in potato scales, and seared scallops served with maple pumpkin voloutè. ©Disney The meat course includes options like a rack of lamb, center-cut beef tenderloins, and chicken fricassee. ©Disney Up next is a cheese course, which features a plate of various imported cheeses. And rounding out the meal is dessert, which has options like a thin apple tart, chocolate almond cake with ice cream, and a meringue treat with ice cream, sorbet, chantilly cream, and a raspberry coulis. ©Disney The website also says that there will be “a focused wine list,” although the wine is not shown on the online menu yet. And although there isn’t a price listed, this restaurant falls into the $$$$ category, which means that each meal is over $60. The meal is likely well over that amount — we saw some updates at the end of last year (while Monsieur Paul was still closed) that showed a $175 price tag, although the menu displayed then looked different from the one we see now. ©Disney Remember that there are some extra policies to follow for Monsieur Paul. If you need to cancel your reservations here, you must do so at least 72 hours in advance or a $100-per-person cancelation fee will apply. (That’s another indication that the meals here will cost over $100 per person.) Also, children younger than 10 years old will not be allowed to dine here. A “sophisticated and upscale” dress code is also enforced. Monsieur Paul With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals.

There have been so many changes in Disney World over the past few years and it can be a LOT to keep up with! Magic Kingdom That’s why we’re here — to keep you up-to-date on all of the latest changes for your next Disney World vacation and give you tips and tricks to handle the changes. Although many things have returned to “normal” like character dining, entertainment in the parks, removing mask requirements, and more, there is still one MAJOR thing missing from Disney World — the Disney Dining Plan. And that’s what we’re exploring today! We’re breaking down everything we know about the Dining Plan and seeing if it will return in 2023. The Disney Dining Plan was suspended in Disney World following the closures due to the global pandemic in March of 2020. When the parks reopened later that year, the Dining Plan did not return and it has been missing ever since! What Is the Disney Dining Plan? First of all, let’s break down what the Disney Dining Plan is! The Disney Dining Plan, also known as DDP in Disney slang, is a pre-purchased dining package that you can add to a Disney Vacation Package. You have to be staying at a Disney-owned hotel and have park tickets in order to qualify for the plan. Disney Dining Plan Shirt There are several different types of the Disney Dining Plan that you can choose from to fit your group’s needs. The plans offer a set amount of counter-service and table-service meals and a set number of snack credits. Essentially you are paying for your food before your trip — when you use your Dining Plan credit at a location, you get those points deducted instead of paying money out of pocket. Storybook Treats The Disney Dining Plan is a fan-favorite for several reasons, but the ability to pay ahead is a major factor. You don’t have to think about the cost of many of your meals because it is already taken care of and it makes for a more relaxing trip in that regard. We did a poll and 62% of our readers said they would buy the Disney Dining Plan when it comes back. Quick Service Disney Dining Plan Chart On the other hand, the Dining Plan comes at a cost, and some Disney World guests feel like they are not getting their money’s worth or they are too restricted on what and where they can eat. It all depends on your group’s eating habits and if you want to have the ease of prepaying for food. What Has Disney Said? Unfortunately Disney has been pretty quiet when it comes to the Disney Dining Plan. However, in 2021 Disney did say that the DDP would return…they just didn’t say WHEN. New food to try! When talking about the DDP back in 2021, Disney said “While we’re not quite ready to share an update on timing, we are planning to bring this guest-favorite option back at a later date.” Regal Eagle Smokehouse So we know the plans are returning, but if it’s anything like other services that have returned to the parks (we’re looking at you, Genie+), it’s probably going to look a bit different. What Could the Disney Dining Plan Look Like? That brings us to our next question — what could the Disney Dining Plan look like when it returns? Well, since Disney has not released any information about its return, it is hard to tell. BUT we can look at the different options that Disney offered before the park closures! There were four options for Dining Plan Packages, including the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, the Disney Dining Plan, the Disney Dining Plan – PLUS, and the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. All of the dining plans also came with a refillable resort mug for soda or hot drinks at the resort where guests were staying! Here’s a full break down of each of them: Refillable Resort Mugs In 2020, the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan included two quick service meals and two snacks per day for each person. It cost $55 per adult each day and $26 per child (ages 3-9) each day. New eats at Enchanted Rose Lounge In 2020, the Disney Standard Dining Plan included one quick-service meal and one table-service meal plus two snacks per person each day. It cost $78 per adult each day and $38.50 per child each day. The Noodle Exchange Spread from the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival In 2020, the Disney Dining Plan PLUS included two meals (any combination of quick- or table-service meals) and two snacks or non-alcoholic drinks per person each day. It cost $95 per adult each day and $35 per child each day. Chefs de France And lastly in 2020, the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan included three meals with any combination of quick- or table-service and two snacks or non-alcoholic drinks per person each day. It cost $119 per adult each day and $47.50 per child each day. Yum One thing we do expect to change about the Disney Dining Plan is the cost. The price of each plan will likely increase based on all of the price increases we’ve seen around the park including hundreds of food items at restaurants, private photo sessions, water and soda, building droids and lightsabers, and Genie+. Disney is more expensive now than it was in 2020 and we don’t think the Disney Dining Plan will be any exception. Why the Disney Dining Plan Could Return in 2023 The last we heard from Disney about the Dining Plan was in 2021…so why hasn’t it returned yet? Sometimes Disney makes announcements about something and that thing will return within the year. While this isn’t always the case, the Dining Plan does seem like something Disney could bring back sooner than later. All of the menus around Disney World and even the menus at new restaurants that have opened since 2020 have the DDP symbol next to certain menu items. A look at the menu Also, almost all of Disney World is back to “normal” now. There are only a few closed restaurants left, but almost all of the hotels, entertainment, characters, dining, and perks have returned. This is one of the biggest steps Disney is missing to return to pre-pandemic operations in the parks, so it seems like they should bring it back sooner rather later. Main Street Again, none of this is set in stone, but we really hope to see the Disney Dining Plan come back soon! When the DDP does return, be sure to check back with us at DFB for everything you need to know — we’ll be covering all of the news and changes as well as creating guides to let you know if it’s worth it for you and your group or not!

Have a holly jolly…oh wait, is it still Halloween season?! This is what we feel like — a mix of Halloween and Christmas. Since Disney starts celebrating Halloween in mid-August, it feels like we’ve been in “spooky season” for quite a while now, and some of us are starting to count down the days until the holidays start. If you’re in that camp, then you’ll be happy to get a sneak peek at a new pair of holiday ears coming soon to shopDisney! Back in June for Halfway to the Holidays, Disney revealed a sneak peek at two pairs of ears that would be releasing this year. There was a rather interesting design inspired by Toy Story… ©Disney …as well as a more traditional Christmas-y green and red pair. They’ve got velvet ears with a sparkly red bow and little pom-poms all over. ©Disney But now, we have a sneak peek at the THIRD pair of holiday ears! On shopDisney, they’re advertised as “coming soon” and we can’t wait to see them for ourselves. They match the green and red ears, but they’re an off-white color (possibly champagne) with a sparkly gold bow in the middle. ©Disney Wow! So many ears to choose from this year! We’ve already started to see holiday merchandise online, but nothing major in the parks just yet. We’ll be on the lookout in the coming days and weeks for anything to pop up. It’s going to be an exciting holiday season! And if you’re visiting Disney World during November and December this year, stay tuned to DFB.

Picture it: You’ve just finished riding Avatar: Flight of Passage, and your next Lightning Lane isn’t until 1:30PM, when suddenly, your stomach starts grumbling. Tree of Life in Disney World There are a lot of places you could eat in Animal Kingdom, but it can be difficult to know where to start! Well, we’ve got you covered! We’ve already ranked ALL of the restaurants in this park, but today we’re taking a close look at one particular item to see if it’s worth your cash! Over at Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom, you’ll find a number of tasty barbecue eats. There’s mac and cheese with pulled pork and an onion ring(!!), ribs, chicken, and more. But what if you want something light, perhaps something plant-based that won’t weigh you down. Then you might want to pick up the Hot Link Smokehouse Sandwich! This item has been on the menu here for a long time, but we decided to stop by and give it a try to see whether it’s something you should try. Hot Link Sandwich This item is made of Plant-based Sausage topped with a Tangy Mustard Barbecue Sauce, Slaw, and Crispy Onions on a House-made New England-style Roll. We’ve had a Hot Link Bowl elsewhere in Animal Kingdom and that one did NOT work for us, so we were very interested to see how this would taste. To get a true expert’s opinion, we sent in one of our reporters who typically eats a plant-based diet. What did they think? Well, they found that the plant-based “sausage” was actually really nicely seasoned and had a bit of kick to it! Now, there’s no need to be worried — it wasn’t too spicy, and the slaw on top cuts through the spice that is there with a cooling crunch. The Hot Link Sandwich The bun it’s served on looks like a conventional hot dog bun, but it had a tinge of sweetness to it that we really enjoyed. It gave this meal a balance of sweet-and-spicy flavors which was great. Also, we have to give a quick shout-out to the crispy fried onions sprinkled on top because those were delicious — more of those on…everything(!!) please! When you combine the crunchiness and coolness of the slaw, with what our reporter described as the “salty, savory magic” of the crispy fried onions (they REALLY like fried onions!), plus the subtle heat and seasoning from the “sausage”, and the sweetness and lovely simplicity of the bun, you’ve got a pretty great dish in our opinion. But we do have one complaint. Have You Tried This Before? Our biggest complaint is that this sandwich comes from a barbecue restaurant but it didn’t really have much barbecue sauce on it or really capture that signature smoky barbecue flavor. We would have loved for it to have been served with a ton of a more traditional (though still plant-based) barbecue sauce. You could ask for some of their more traditional sauce when you place your order, but you’ll need to inquire to see if it is plant-based if you stick to that type of diet. Aside from the lack of sauce, our plant-based eater really loved this dish and kept raving about those fried onions! If you’re a plant-based eater, vegetarian, or just someone who wants a sandwich that is light, tastes good, and comes with a side of delicious Disney fries (of course), this could be a great pick for you. Would You Try It? If, however, you’re looking for that more “traditional” barbecue flavor you might want to look elsewhere. You could ask for barbecue sauce and that could change things a bit, but it might not quite satisfy that itch. It’s also a bit more expensive than it was before, as it went from $11.49 to $11.79 recently. But if you want to give it a try, head over to Animal Kingdom.

If you’re going to be at Disney World over November 2nd, 2022, why not take part in an event celebrating Día de los Muertos? A lovely day at Disney Springs! This holiday, also known as Day of the Dead, originated in Mexico but is widely celebrated outside of the country as well. It’s a day for people to remember those they’ve lost as well as celebrate their lives. The festivities, which you may be familiar with from Disney’s animated film Coco, include traditions like building altars or ofrendas to ancestors, creating those famous sugar skulls, and lots and lots of food! Now, a Disney Springs spot is joining in on the celebration. On November 2nd, you can take part in some of the holiday’s traditions by heading over to Disney Springs and visiting Frontera Cocina, a contemporary Mexican restaurant. Frontera is well-known for dishes like their Carnitas, Queso Fundido, and Shrimp Mojo de Ajo. For Día de los Muertos, they are hosting a special event where diners can enjoy some of their delicious foods while learning from their tequila experts! The interior is so beautiful! During this event, you’ll be able to snack on authentic Mexican dishes with a twist while sampling Frontera’s variety of agave-based alcohols. By the end of this event, you just might be a tequila and mezcal expert yourself! The event will begin at 6:30PM, but you will need to reserve a spot to be able to take part in the festivities. On the post from Frontera’s official Instagram account, they requested for interested guests to send an email to frontera@palmasrestaurants.com to make your reservation. Seating is limited, so we recommend saving your spot as soon as possible! Here is the event flyer from Frontera Cocina’s Instagram! While Día de los Muertos is not related to Halloween, it is right before this major holiday! For all things Halloween at Disney, we got you covered!

Sometimes Disney movies inspire attractions in the theme parks, and sometimes theme park attractions inspire Disney movies! Jungle Cruise We’ve seen rides like Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean inspire Disney movies, while other rides, like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Rise of the Resistance, and Flight of Passage are all based on movies. But, there are more things than just rides in the parks that can inspire movies. And, it was just announced that another Disney movie is being made based off of something in the theme parks! Disney will be making a Society of Explorers and Adventurers MOVIE! Ryan Reynolds is teaming up with Qui Nguyen (the writer and co-director of Disney’s upcoming Strange World movie) to make the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. ©Evan Agostini/Invision/AP The movie will be live-action, with Nguyen writing and Reynolds producing. It’s important to note that this movie is different than the Disney+ series being made that’s based on the SEA idea as well. Society of Explorers and Adventurers Crest The Hollywood Reporter says that the new movie will pursue “alternative angles to SEA mythology in present day by adding a new supernatural element to the history and following new characters not present in the original SEA lore.” Do you recognize anyone? If you’re unfamiliar with the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, it began over at Tokyo DisneySea. Now, it’s a secret organization that you can find in Disney parks ALL OVER the world. It was supposedly founded in 1538, during the time of the Renaissance and Age of Exploration, in Italy. It contains explorers, adventurers, scientists, artists, and travelers. You can find nods to the SEA in a bunch of different Disney parks, like inside Skipper Canteen at Magic Kingdom! Portrait in the S.E.A. Room at Skipper Canteen There aren’t a lot of details about the movie right now, but we’ll let you know when more is announced. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates!
