The world has seen many big losses this year and unfortunately we have another to report. ©Disney Today, October 11th, Dame Angela Lansbury has passed away just a few days before her 97th birthday. She was an actress known for many Disney roles and became a Disney legend in 1995. You may recognize her from several roles in Disney movies including Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast, Miss Eglantine Price from Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and as the Balloon Lady in Mary Poppins Returns. ©Disney According to Broadway World, Lansbury’s family made this statement: “The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 AM today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday. In addition to her three children, Anthony, Deirdre and David, she is survived by three grandchildren, Peter, Katherine and Ian, plus five great grandchildren and her brother, producer Edgar Lansbury. She was proceeded in death by her husband of 53 years, Peter Shaw. A private family ceremony will be held at a date to be determined.” Our hearts go out to Angela Lansbury’s family and loved ones at this time.

A Disneyland vacation just got more expensive in more ways than one. We saw some major ticket price increases, and Genie+ now costs $5 more than it used to. Unfortunately, that’s not where the price increases end. Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland Earlier, we noticed that the Savi’s Workshop lightsaber building experience and the Droid Depot got more expensive at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. Now, those same price increases have hit Disneyland as well. At the Droid Depot in Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge, you can assemble a custom droid and then take it home with you. You can choose between a BB-series, a C-series, or an R-series and then pair your creation with a remote control. Droid Depot This experience (including purchasing the droid itself) used to be $99.99, but now it’ll cost $119.99 plus tax (a $20 increase). Droids Over at Savi’s Workshop (also located in Galaxy’s Edge), you can build your own custom lightsaber. You can choose from 4 different hilt themes — Peace & Justice, Power & Control, Elemental Nature, or Protection & Defense — and 4 different colors of kyber crystals — red, blue, green, or violet. Savi’s Workshop Building a custom lightsaber used to cost $219.99, but the price has gone up to $249.99 plus tax (a $30 increase). Galaxy’s Edge So your next trip to Galaxy’s Edge might be more expensive if you were planning on taking part in one of these activities. But we want to help you save some money so that you can still fit them into your budget — check out our page on Disney Discounts and Deals to see all kinds of promotions and offers that could help you save some serious cash.

We’ve all been there. What do you think is proper plane etiquette? You’re minding your own business on your flight, headphones in, a movie or podcast playing in your ears. You’ve got your drink of choice on the tray table in front of you (a ginger ale, perhaps?) and you’re ready to get to your destination. And then, BAM! Your nostrils are suddenly hit by a tsunami of strong odors coming from behind you. You look down and are greeted with the sight of some unruly toes ON YOUR ARMREST. Okay, maybe we haven’t all been there – but chances are we’ve all had some unpleasant flights and don’t want to be “that person” just adding to the chaos. So, here are a few things you should NEVER do on a plane! Flying can be stressful, and sometimes humans just add to that stress. But, we can all work together to try and make things just a bit easier on each other… Have you flown lately? …and we can do that by NEVER doing these things on a plane. Play Media Out Loud One of the most important rules of flying is to just be respectful of others — and that also applies to playing media out loud. Whether it’s music or podcast, a movie or the latest show, or even a game, the best thing you can do is to use headphones or earbuds. The people around you are most likely just trying to relax and do their own thing, and hearing someone else’s phone blasting the latest Harry Styles song probably doesn’t help (though, tbh, we probably wouldn’t mind that…)! Enjoy your music or movie to your heart’s content…just with your headphones in please! This is also true for most kids with tablets or other similar devices — no one (and we mean no one) wants to hear Cocomelon playing incessantly before or during a flight. If your kiddo is old enough to use a tablet, they’re old enough for headphones in most cases. Our Best Tips For Flying Through the Orlando International Airport Argue with Airline Staff Quite possibly the most important thing to remember when you’re on a flight is to listen to flight attendants and the pilots. They’re trained in various situations and know how to help keep you safe. This also applies to the airline staff at the airport as well! Mickey and Minnie So, please, whatever you do when you’re flying — do your best NOT argue with flight attendants or airline staff. Airlines are private businesses, meaning they can keep you from flying for pretty much any reason they want. You wouldn’t want to miss your chance to meet Mickey and Minnie in Disney World, would you?! 21 Things a Former Flight Attendant Needs You To Know Get Mad at Kids for Being Kids Sometimes parents have to fly places and bring their kids. In most cases, they don’t love the situation any more than you do. But, planes are uncomfortable for everyone, let alone kids who haven’t totally developed situational awareness or might even be flying for the very first time. Magic Kingdom Baby Care Center Kids are kids, and chances are their parents are having just as rough of a time getting them to behave in a giant metal box in the sky as you are listening to it. So, try to just put your headphones on and tune them out — or maybe even order yourself a Bloody Mary. Cut everyone a little bit of slack and remember that you’re all in this together (at least until you land). Air Travel Tips That Will Change Your Life Put Your Bare Feet on the Armrest in Front of You Well, here we are folks. We’ve reached the point of no return. Never did we think we’d actually need to say this particular piece of advice out loud, but…PLEASE, no matter what — do NOT but your bare feet on the armrest in front of you. Honestly, if you can help it, maybe don’t take your shoes of at all? Just a thought. Maybe we should be sticking dryer sheets in OUR shoes?? And WHATEVER you do, please don’t go to the bathroom barefoot on an airplane, ever. People don’t have great aim (whether accidentally or on purpose) and the chances that you’re stepping in dried or wet urine are probably pretty high. It’s straight up gross. Do Us All a Favor and Don’t Do THIS at Disney world Bring Stinky Foods The “don’t microwave fish in the breakroom” rule applies to planes as well. We’d recommend shying away from anything with tuna or broccoli, or anything else that others might consider to be a “strong odor.” Also, maybe don’t order an entire lasagna before you board and bring it with you on the plane like this person did. We love the stinky Raclette cheese from the Alps EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Booth At the end of the day, though, the most important thing to remember when you’re on a plane or traveling is to just be respectful and mindful of everyone else around you! Everyone is just trying to get to where they’re going and that can happen a lot faster if there aren’t kerfuffles on the plane. Just sit back, try to relax, and remember that you’re not the only one on that plane! Hope your next flight is stinky feet free!

The enchanting holiday season is returning to the Disneyland Resort Nov. 11, 2022 through Jan. 8, 2023, and today we have even more exciting news to share for all things merry and bright, celebrating a variety of cultural festivities with music, food and fun for the whole family!View the full article

Are you ready for a party?! We’re not talking just any old party, either. It’s time for Minnie’s Beach Bash! Slowly but surely, we’ve seen the return of character dining to Disney World. Just recently we got to hang out with Winnie the Pooh and Friends at Crystal Palace, plus Lilo, Stitch, and more are back at ‘Ohana too. But now, it’s time to celebrate because Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast has returned to Cape May Cafe, and we’re reviewing it all! Cape May Cafe is located in Disney’s Beach Club Resort which is just a short walk away from EPCOT! The restaurant serves up all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But — during breakfast, you can now dine with Minnie and pals once again at Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast! We were there for the return of characters and to find out if this buffet is still worth your time (and money!). So, let’s check it out! Atmosphere Disney’s Beach Club Resort is themed after, well, a beach hotel, but more specifically an early 20’s Atlantic beach hotel. Disney’s Beach Club Resort But, we’re heading over to Cape May Cafe to check out the return of Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast! Cape May Cafe You’ll find a light and airy feel inside Cape May Cafe, with plenty of nods to old beachside activities and entertainment. Cape May Cafe We love this adorable display of beach umbrellas… Super cute umbrellas …and there are some croquet accents in here as well! Croquet equipment You’ll find plenty of beachy artwork on the walls too. Booth But, enough about the decor…let’s find out which characters will be joining us for breakfast! Characters Of course, you can’t have Minnie’s Beach Bash without, well, Minnie! Here she is in her most adorable seaside garb. Minnie! Goofy is here too, donning a pretty sweet bucket hat if you ask us! Goofy Daisy came over to say hi as well, giving off some seriously relaxed beach vibes… Daisy …and Donald came over and sat with us for a bit! We complimented his tropical shirt and straw hat. Donald! We got to see the characters several times during our meal, as they came around more than once. If you’re looking for a LOT of character interaction, Cape May Cafe might just be the place to find it! Menu Cape May Cafe serves an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet menu full of delicious breakfast favorites! Since characters are back, the price has gone up and is now $45 per adult and $29 per child. Cape May Cafe breakfast buffet menu There are also quite a few specialty drinks and coffees available, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Coca-Cola Products, coffee, tea, juice, and water are all included with the cost of the buffet. Specialty drinks And now onto the main event — let’s see what we’re having for breakfast at Minnie’s Beach Bash! Eats We started off with the Salted Caramel Beach Buns that were brought to our table — note that this is a buffet, but you do have a server for whatever you might need like drinks and paying your bill. They also drop off this delicious basket of delights to your table. These were perfectly sticky and sweet, and were super moist thanks to the vanilla sauce they’re served with. The flakey salt adds a good depth of flavor that helps kick these buns up a notch. Salted Caramel Beach Buns For the rest of the meal, we had to get up from our seat. But, no complaints here as the buffet looked pretty promising with items like Mickey waffles, chocolate chip pancakes, and French toast. Waffles, pancakes, and French Toast There are also a few vegetable options like asparagus and potatoes if you like a little of either in the morning. Asparagus and potatoes You’ll find plenty of options for carnivores as well, like sausage… Sausage …bacon and eggs… Bacon and Eggs …and freshly carved ham! Carved ham How adorable are these hash brown cups with egg? Hash brown cups There are also comfort foods like oatmeal and grits on the buffet… Oatmeal …and a few fruit offerings as well, like this fruit and marshmallow salad and parfaits. Fruit salad and parfaits There’s fresh fruit on the menu as well! We spotted grapes, strawberries, and pineapple. Fresh fruit In addition to the Salted Caramel Beach Buns, there are regular rolls available too. Rolls We filled up our plate and made our way back to the table to chow down. We started with a breakfast buffet staple: the potatoes. These were your basic breakfast potatoes cooked with peppers and onions, and boy did they hit the spot. The peppers add a great flavor, and the potatoes were well-seasoned and not overly salty. Our plate! We also check out the chocolate chip pancakes. You might think that there’s no way to mess up chocolate chip pancakes, but these weren’t our favorite. They were pretty thick and heavy on the flour, which was only remedied by the amount of chocolate chips in ours. Pancakes No Disney breakfast buffet is complete without Mickey waffles, and these were excellent. Super fluffy and warm on the inside, but perfectly crispy on the outside. And when paired with syrup, you really can’t go wrong! The hash brown cup was another item we were excited to try, but it ended up being one of our least favorite items we tried. It wasn’t seasoned enough or hardly at all, and the outside was tough while the inside was dry. There was so much potential here — cheese, potatoes, eggs, chives — but this one fell flat for us. Mickey waffle! We decided to check out some of the fresh fruit, and were glad we chose pineapple. It was really sweet and served in big chunks that stayed nice and juicy — we would definitely recommend it if you like starting your day with fruit! As far as meats go, we tried both the ham and the bacon. The bacon was your typical Disney bacon, not too salty and on the chewier side rather than having any sort of crunch or crispness. We definitely didn’t hate it! The ham was just as delicious — salty, smoky, and sweet without being too overpowering. It was also pretty moist and tender which can be difficult to find with ham that sits under a heat lamp. Close-up And last, but not least (but also not the best) we gave the asparagus a try. Asparagus can be a gamble, because you never know if it will be tender of if you’ll be sawing through it like Paul Bunyan. Luckily, most of ours was tender and a little chewy but not too hard to eat. It was salty and buttery — simple but still good. Nosh or Not You should book a reservation for Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast if… You’re looking for a standard buffet breakfast that has a lot to offer and several crowd-pleasing dishes. You want a LOT of character interaction — and we mean a lot. We almost felt like we were missing things by getting up and going to the buffet! You’re heading to EPCOT for the day and want a character meal before walking over to the park. You should skip Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast if… You’re looking for a quick meal that will get you to the parks by rope-drop. You don’t care about dining with characters or interactions. You don’t think you or your party would eat enough to justify the buffet cost. Overall If you’re looking for a solid breakfast buffet with a TON of character interaction, consider giving Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast at Cape May Cafe a try! But, if character meals aren’t your thing and you don’t want to shell out $45 for breakfast — this probably isn’t the spot for you!

We’re getting closer and closer to the opening of the TRON roller coaster in Magic Kingdom! TRON Lightcycle Run sign Back in 2017, Disney announced plans to open TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, and its opening was subsequently delayed from 2021 to Spring 2023. Our favorite way to keep an eye on construction progress is to take a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover and on a recent ride, we noticed a BIG development! Taking a ride on the PeopleMover is the best way to see TRON Lightcycle Run’s current look, and we’ve observed Cast Members working on the ride, vehicles moving, groundwork being laid, and lots more. Our view from the PeopleMover We’re here to keep you up to date on everything happening with the construction, so here’s what we know so far! The canopy for the ride looks like it’s mostly completed, and we’ve seen concrete walls… Concrete walls …and progress with the groundwork. Groundwork progress! We’ve also been able to catch different phases of ride vehicle testing, such as the full-speed launch. Testing AGAIN! And Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. closed for construction nearby, and the current state of the exterior of the store is mostly just concrete. Tomorrowland Light & Power construction Up until recently, the Walt Disney World Railroad tunnel was just that — a tunnel. The Railroad has been closed due to TRON construction since 2018, and a reopening date has not yet been announced. TRON construction in Magic Kingdom But on a recent trip to Magic Kingdom, we noticed that railroad tracks were laid down! These NEW tracks lead into the tunnel, where the Walt Disney World Railroad will eventually travel through. Train tracks! Stay tuned to DFB for more TRON updates, and in the meantime, you can also keep up with the Walt Disney World Railroad construction progress. Looking for a new thrill ride in Disney World?

When it comes to the most popular Disney World restaurants, there are a few restaurants that probably stick out in your mind. Be Our Guest You’ve got spots like Chef Mickey’s or Topolino’s Terrace, where you can dine with your favorite characters. Then there are places like Le Cellier and California Grill, where you’ll be served a signature meal with high-caliber ingredients. But perhaps some of the MOST popular spots are those places where you get a stellar atmosphere for your meal, like Cinderella’s Royal Table, Be Our Guest Restaurant, or Space 220. And if you’re looking to dine at one of those spots soon, we need to warn you about some price increases! Be Our Guest Restaurant is located in Magic Kingdom and offers one of the most well-themed meals in Disney World because the interior of the restaurant is made to look like the Beast’s castle from Beauty and the Beast. The meal is quite popular, but those planning to visit soon are going to be paying extra for this experience. The Grand Ballroom in Magic Kingdom’s Be Our Guest Restaurant Let’s start out with pricing for the meal. Previously, the cost of this prix fixe meal was $62 for adults and $37 for children, but that has now gone up to $67 per adult and $39 per child. That price doesn’t include gratuity or tax. Rose Gallery Along with the price increase, we’ve seen some menu updates. The Country Seasonal Salad on the appetizer list has been replaced with a Country Pear Salad, which contains Belgium Endive, Petit Lettuce Blend, Candied Walnuts, and Champagne Vinaigrette Dressing. On the entree list, the Herb-Salted Pork Tenderloin has been replaced by the Dry-Aged Duroc Pork Chop, served with Lentil Ragout, Shaved Fennel, and Dijon Mustard Sauce. Country Seasonal Salad The Filet Mignon is now served with a side of Yukon Gold Potato Puree and Smoked Potato Bernaise Sauce. The sides have also changed for the Poulet Rouge Chicken, which comes with Celery Root Puree, Roasted Root Vegetables, and Pinot Noir Jus. Center-cut Filet Mignon — part of the Prix Fixe menu at Be Our Guest And if you’re ordering any adult beverages during your meal, be prepared for some price increases on those.

Get ready — dining is getting MORE expensive in Disney World. Chef Mickey’s Hundreds of price increases impacted Disney World restaurants back in early 2022, and again in October. From bottled water and soda price increases to increases on Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars, there’s a lot to unpack in Disney’s latest reveals. But if you’re a big character dining fan, then there’s one particular update you need to know about at Chef Mickey’s. Chef Mickey’s is a character dining spot located within Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This spot has seen a number of changes over the past years as characters slowly returned to the dining experience here, and the menu was changed from a buffet to a family-style meal. Chef Donald But now some price INCREASES have hit Chef Mickey’s. Let’s take a look at what has changed. Breakfast First, let’s tackle breakfast. Breakfast at Chef Mickey’s was previously priced at $42 per adult and $27 per child. Now, you’ll have to pay a bit more. Breakfast will now cost you $45 per adult ($3 increase), and $29 per child ($2 increase). Tax and gratuity are not included in these prices. Chef Mickey’s There have also been updates in prices when it comes to certain drinks here, so be on the lookout for that. For example, the Mickey Mouse Smoothie (Frozen Minute Maid® Mango Smoothie and Strawberry Smoothie topped with Whipped Cream and Cookies ‘n Cream Crumbles) has gone from $6.49 to $6.99. Alcoholic drinks have also seen an increase. The Chef’s Bloody Mary has gone from $16.00 to $16.50, and the Blushing Mimosa increased from $14.00 to $14.50. Mickey Mouse Smoothie But breakfast isn’t the only meal that has seen some changes. Dinner Pricing Previously, dinner at Chef Mickey’s would set you back $55 per adult, and $36 per child. That has now been increased to $60 per adult ($5 increase) and $38 per child ($2 increase). Chef Mickey’s Dinner Just like with breakfast, some drink prices have changed here too. For example, the Bacardi Mojito was $14.00 but has increased in price to $14.50, and the Bahama Mama was $14.00 but has also increased to $14.50. The Fab Five As with many of the other food price increases we’ve seen, the increases themselves might seem small when looked at alone. But over the course of a trip with multiple family members, they can really add up.

Skipping the regular, standby lines in Disney parks certainly isn’t anything new. Genie+ ©Disney And, since the introduction of the latest system — Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes — there have been quite a few changes and updates in both Disney World and Disneyland. We recently learned that surge pricing would be implemented for Genie+ in Disneyland, and now it looks like yet another new change has come to the service! Changes are brewin’ at Disneyland Resort, with ticket price increases and more hitting the parks recently. Genie+ just got a price increase as well, but that’s not the only change to come to the service in Disneyland! Thanks to our friend Joe (@schreiberjoe) for giving us a heads up about this change. WEB SLINGERS Entrance Over at Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure has been added to Genie+! Previously, this ride was available via Individual Lightning Lane, meaning you had to pay an individual fee per ticket to skip the standby line. ©Disney But now, WEB SLINGERS is included with your regular Genie+ purchase. Keep in mind that Genie+ now starts at $25 per ticket instead of the prior $20, and could be even more expensive on high capacity park days and depending on when you visit. It’s also important to note that this new changes also says Genie+ is “subject to availability.” WEB SLINGERS vehicle We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more Genie+ changes, Disneyland price increases, and news — so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest.

Price increases are hitting Disney World again, folks. Watch out for those menu price increases We just saw that prices are going up for private photo shoots, some Star Wars experiences, food, and more in Disney World. And now, prices are also going up for drinks around the parks. We’ve noticed some price increases on things like bottled water in Disney World. The previous price for Dasani Bottled Water was $3.50, and now certain menus have it listed for $3.75. This change was spotted at places like Restaurantosaurus and Satu’li Canteen in Animal Kingdom, and Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom, among others. Bottled Water Another type of bottled water that has gone up in price is smartwater, which went from $5.50 to $5.75. Not that price anymore! Bottled sodas have increased in price as well. Assorted Coca-Cola offerings went up from $3.99 to $4.29. Bottled drinks These price increases are also being seen for meals that come with drinks, like kids meals that come with the option of a small low-fat milk or a small Dasani bottled water. For example, the kids’ Cheeseburger Steamed Pod meal at Satu’li Canteen went up in price from $8.29 to $8.59. It’s unclear if this is due to the bottled water or unrelated. Kids Cheeseburger Pod We’ll be on the lookout for more price increases and keep you updated. For other things happening at Disney World, check out the major price INCREASE for private photo shoots in Disney World, the price increases that hit lightsaber and droid building experiences in Disney World, and the problem you might have when renting an ECV in Disney World.

In discussing park price increases, Disney CEO Bob Chapek once said, “If demand goes up, then we have the opportunity to do that.” Well, we regret to inform your budgets, but it seems that the time for price increases has arrived. Hey, Mickey! We’ve seen price increases implemented for Genie+ at Disneyland, surge pricing introduced for the standard Genie+ service in Disney World, price increases announced for Savi’s Workshop and Droid Depot, and cost increases revealed for more experiences. Earlier in 2022, we also saw hundreds of price increases hit Disney World restaurants, and now it looks like food price increases are happening again. Price increases have hit HUNDREDS of food items across many Disney World restaurants. There are a LOT of increases to look at, but for now, let’s take a look at some of the key increases. Keep in mind that this is just a sampling of the increases and is NOT comprehensive of ALL the increases that have taken place.

Some of the most underrated places to hang out and grab a bite to eat are the Disney World lounges. You can find lots of great lounges at the Magic Kingdom area hotels, such as Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto (at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort) and the Steakhouse 71 Lounge (at Disney’s Contemporary Resort). Disney’s Grand Floridian Over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, you can find a luxurious lounge that fits the fancy theme of this hotel. The Enchanted Rose has themed cocktails and small plates to enjoy in a beautiful setting. Now, there’s another reason to visit, because NEW eats are coming to this spot! As the name implies, the Enchanted Rose lounge is themed after Beauty and the Beast. It has cocktails like the French Rose and eats like crab macaroni & cheese and truffle fries. The Enchanted Rose This spot will be adding several new options to the food menu, starting today. ©Disney There will be a new charcuterie board, which is made with duck rillettes, bresaola, serrano ham, soppressata, tomato jam, cornichons, citrus mustard, pickled carrots, olive crostini, and grissini, for $22. The new artisanal cheese selection includes 4 chef-selected tasting portions, honeycomb, quince paste, apricot jam, pumpkin seed brittle, and cranberry bread, for $19. There’s also a new hummus dip, which is served with tapenade, smoked paprika, and grilled pita bread, for $12. Enchanted Rose Bar Area Another addition is the Smoked Trout and Crab Dip, which will feature salmon roe, chive oil, and sesame seed lavosh for $16. If you’re feeling fancy (as in, “$115 for a snack” fancy), there will be a Caviar dish, which includes Siberian caviar, an egg yolk spread, crème fraiche, caper berries, and brioche. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen caviar on the menu at this lounge, although this particular dish is new. And yes, it really costs $115. ©Disney Finally, they will have a Seasonal Flatbread, which is topped with artichoke, fig, ricotta, roasted garlic, and watercress for $18. ©Disney And don’t worry — the beloved house-made truffle fries are still on the menu! So whether you want to stop in for a quick cocktail or break out the big bucks for some of that caviar, you can visit Enchanted Rose to try out the new options.
