Halloween in Disney World means lots of tasty treats, big parties in Magic Kingdom, and spooky merchandise galore. If you recently purchased one of the new MagicBand+ bands that Disney released earlier this year, there’s another haunted activity you should try out in the parks! Spooky AND Cute! MagicBand+ is the next generation of MagicBand. These bands do everything that the normal MagicBands do (work as park tickets, hotel room keys, a method of payment, etc.), and they also have some new features. One of those new features is that they interact with the 50th anniversary gold character statues around Disney World! Now, those interactions have taken a frightening turn. While you’re wearing your MagicBand+, you can wave at the 50th Anniversary character statues and the characters will respond with a saying or song! We tested this out earlier, when MagicBand+ first debuted. Gold character statues Now, however, some of the interactions have changed. They’ve taken on a spooky theme for the Halloween season! Thanks to DFB reader Sara (@rosieredsara83) for letting us know about this change. When we waved at Figment in EPCOT, some Addams family-esque music started to play. If you’ve got a MagicBand+, you can head into the parks now to try out the new interactions. And if you’re looking to purchase one of the new bands, Disney just released a lot of new designs that you can check out here. Disney World hotel guests and Annual Passholders can get some designs at a discount as well!

Sisters — ’tis time! ‘Tis time to talk about just how well Hocus Pocus 2 actually did over on Disney+! ©Disney The Halloween movie debuted on Disney+ just a few days ago, where it brought the Sanderson Sisters back from the dead…again! We’ve seen a ton of celebrations for the film, but how well did it actually do on the streaming service? Well, Disney has released an update, and it might surprise you! Hocus Pocus 2 is the number 1 movie premiere on Disney+ to date, according to Disney. They say this was based on the hours the movie was watched domestically during the first 3 days that it was available on the streaming service. Do note, however, that no numbers were released with this announcement, as we haven’t traditionally seen streaming services release that information. Hocus Pocus 2 Photo Op in Disney World Hocus Pocus 2 was released on Disney+ on Friday, September 30th, and is a sequel to the cult classic Hocus Pocus, which debuted in theaters back in 1993 — almost 30 years ago! ©Disney The film stars the original trio of witches played by Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker. You can watch it over on Disney+ right now! ©Airbnb There’s been a lot of celebration for the film, including a makeup collection, a special cereal, a Dole Whip flight, and more. For more on what’s going on in the streaming world, check out the Disney+ price INCREASE for ad-free streaming, see how much money Disney is losing on Disney+, and take a look at everything coming to Disney+ in October!

Genie+ is CHANGING in Disneyland. ©Disney Genie+ is the PAID FastPass+ replacement service that can help you skip the lines at some of your favorite rides throughout the parks. We’ve already shared a comprehensive guide to Genie+ and a look at how the service is different in Disney World vs. Disneyland, but now something is changing for Genie+ users on the west coast. Genie+ comes with slightly different perks in Disney World vs. Disneyland. When it initially launched, there were special PhotoPass lenses made available for Disney World, but those were NOT available in Disneyland. Instead, those in Disneyland got unlimited PhotoPass digital downloads for the day. Now, things are CHANGING. ©Disney According to Disney, you can now snap a selfie in augmented reality using the Disney PhotoPass Lenses available through Genie+ in Disneyland! The feature debuted on October 4th. But don’t worry, the other big PhotoPass perk isn’t going away from Disneyland. Disneyland Genie+ users will still get unlimited PhotoPass digital downloads for their day (along with other perks like audio tales). But the Genie+ service will also now include access to special PhotoPass lenses in the Disneyland app. Again, these are just for people who buy the Genie+ service. ©Disney What’s neat is that some of the PhotoPass lenses are unique to Disneyland Resort, meaning you won’t be able to check them out even if you use Genie+ in Disney World. According to Disney, the interactive photo moments could include an underwater picture with Marlin and Dory… ©Disney …and a selfie with Grogu — utilizing augmented reality. ©Disney The video shared by Disney also depicts special lenses themed to snacks… ©Disney …photo strips… ©Disney …characters… ©Disney …and more. ©Disney To learn more about the PhotoPass lenses you can check out in Disney World (including some you could do with your dog!), click here. Of course, keep in mind that PhotoPass lenses are subject to change. If you’ll be heading to Disneyland soon and want more Genie+ tips, click here for our full page all about the service.

It’s October and you know what that means — Halloween! Mickey, WE LOVE YA Of course, October in Disney World will be full of spooky celebrations — but that’s not all! Some character dining locations are returning to normal, new offerings are hitting the parks, and another anniversary event is taking place. So, if you’re visiting the resort this month, take a look at the 5 things that will be different in Disney World in October. Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit Now, this offering was supposed to make its way to EPCOT on September 29th, but its arrival has been delayed. If you’re unfamiliar with Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, it’s a Halloween-themed scavenger hunt that also takes place over at Disneyland Resort. We already did this in Downtown Disney this year! And due to the scavenger hunt boards still being unavailable, the hunt can’t take place quite yet. We’re hoping to see them arrive soon, so we can do this hunt before Halloween is over! Check out more information about this Halloween scavenger hunt! EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary EPCOT officially turned 40 years old on October 1st! And, naturally, Disney is hosting quite the celebration. Happy 40th, EPCOT! The park has welcomed anniversary-inspired merchandise, treats, and entertainment. So, if you’re visiting this month, EPCOT will look a bit different than it did last month. See what EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary is like! EPCOT Behind-the-Scenes Tours Return Three tours have returned to EPCOT this month — the Behind the Seeds Tour, EPCOT Seas Adventure — DiveQuest, and EPCOT Seas Adventure — Dolphins in Depth! The Behind the Seeds Tour is an hour-long walking tour that lets you see the plants, insects, and fish up close. You can take the tour for $35. Behind the Seeds Tour Scuba-certified guests can attend the EPCOT Seas Adventure — DiveQuest tour. Guests on the tour get to explore the 5.7 million gallon saltwater environment at The Seas. The tour is $219 per person. The Seas And the EPCOT Seas Adventure — Dolphins in Depth tour is a 2-hour excursion where guests can meet bottlenose dolphins and talk to the experts who take care of these dolphins! The tour is $199 per person. The Seas We’re happy to see these popular tours return to EPCOT this month! Check out more information about these returning tours! Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast Over at Cape May Cafe in Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast is returning! Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast Starting October 4th, 2022, guests can eat their breakfast while saying “hi” to Minnie and her friends. If you want to dine with Minnie, you’ll want to grab a reservation — this character dining location is popular! Check out more information about the return of this character breakfast! Character Breakfast at The Crystal Palace Feeling a rumbly in your tummy? If so, that’s probably because character breakfast is also returning to The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom!

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of things over the past few years, and more changes are now being made. Time to Go We’ve shared updates on the Omicron variant, COVID-19 vaccination rules for Disney Cruise Line, and more. But now some COVID-19 travel-related information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has changed. Previously, the CDC maintained a country-by-country list of travel advisories related to COVID-19. But, according to CNN, that list won’t be maintained by the CDC anymore. ©CDC In a statement made to CNN travel, a CDC spokesperson said, “As fewer countries are testing or reporting Covid-19 cases, CDC’s ability to accurately assess the Covid-19 THN [Travel Health Notice] levels for most destinations that American travelers visit is limited.” You’ll Have to Make Travel Decisions on Your Own As of October 3rd, notices will only be posted for countries when there is a concerning COVID-19 variant or another situation that would change the travel recommendations from the CDC. The CDC recommends that, regardless of where you’ll be traveling to, international travelers stay “up to date” on their COVID-19 vaccines, and look at (and follow) any CDC guidance for international travel. Flying away The CDC defines someone as “up to date” on their vaccines when they’ve completed their COVID-19 vaccine primary series AND received the most recent booster dose that is recommended for them by the CDC. You can visit the CDC website to get more information and take a quiz to find out when you can get a booster. ©CDC CNN points out that prior to this change, the CNN Medical Analyst, Dr. Leana Wen, told CNN Travel that we’re in a period of the COVID-19 pandemic where “people need to make their own decisions based on their medical circumstances as well as their risk tolerance when it comes to contracting COVID-19.” Wen noted that vaccination is the most significant safety factor for travel. COVID-19 Vaccine Sign If you’ll be traveling soon, keep in mind that you can also check the Travel Advisories on the U.S. Department of State website to see what recommendations are in place.

When it comes to dining in Magic Kingdom — we tend to have A LOT of feelings. Churros in Magic Kingdom The park isn’t exactly known for having the best, knock-your-socks-off food, but one table-service spot tends to stand out above the rest. Today, though, we’re not talking secret menu cheese bread or Falls Family Falafel — instead, we’re bringing you with us to try two NEW cocktails at Skipper Canteen! Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen is one of our favorite spots to take a break from the chaos that can be Magic Kingdom. This table-service restaurant serves up a variety of cuisines, mostly inspired by Asian, South American, and African cultures. But, Skipper Canteen recently added two new cocktails to their menu, and you KNOW we had to try them out! Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen First up, we tried the new Golden Haze Margarita for $16.50. This is made with Teremana Blanco Tequila, Grand Marnier, agave syrup, lime juice, and smoked chili bitters. We’ve seen a similar drink at the Petals Pool Bar at Pop Century in the past, but now it’s come to Magic Kingdom. Golden Haze Margarita This was an excellent margarita — but it didn’t taste like anything special to us, just a really good margarita. We didn’t get any smokiness or heat from the chili bitters, but the Grand Marnier did add a hint of orange flavor that gave it a nice sweetness — it helped to cut down on the tartness of the lime juice. Overall, this was a refreshing cocktail that we would definitely get again, but if you’re looking for something a little more fun or unique, this probably isn’t it! Golden Haze Margarita Do you hear that in the distance? That’s the sound of the new Jungle Bird cocktail calling your name. Gosling’s Black Rum, Campari, cane syrup, and pineapple and lime juices come together in this take on the sweet and fruity tiki drink that’ll transport you right to the islands. Jungle Bird The Jungle Bird was much sweeter than the margarita, which makes sense given the cane syrup and pineapple juice. We didn’t taste too much of the bitterness of the Campari at first, but as we sipped on the cocktail more it became more pronounced — not in a bad way, though, as it did help cut down on some of that sweetness. This was a well-balanced drink that would be perfect for fans of tiki beverages, or those just looking for a fruity and sweet cocktail — you can get it for $14.50. Jungle Bird So, if you’re looking for a new drink or two on your next Magic Kingdom visit, consider trying to snag a reservation at Skipper Canteen to try these cocktails out! You’ll also find a new Gold Rush drink being served at Diamond Horseshoe and Liberty Tree Tavern, too. You can check out even more new drinks and snacks at Disney World right now — see our latest reviews here and here!

EPCOT is currently undergoing a HUGE transformation. EPCOT construction Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was one step in the process, but we’re keeping a close eye on the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana construction and the progress on the PLAY!
