It’s time! The D23 Expo is about to begin and we’re here checking out everything it has to offer. Mickey! There’s a lot to do at the Expo, which is held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California from September 9th to the 11th. You can shop for exclusive merchandise, check out a variety of panels, and lots more — but one thing we were REALLY excited to see was Walt Disney’s plane (yes, a plane!). Come along with us as we check it out! Walt Disney’s Grumman Gulfstream I plane (also known as “The Mouse”) traveled across the country to get to the D23 Expo, and it’s now on display in the Arena of the Anaheim Convention Center as the special exhibit called Mickey Mouse One: Walt’s Plane. D23, the Walt Disney Archives, and D23 Expo Platinum sponsor Amazon restored the exterior of this plane specifically for this exhibit. Here’s what it looked like when Walt was using it. ©Disney And, here’s what it looks like now! Wow! Let’s take a closer look. The plane has also been used in tours and movies like Now You See Him, Now You Don’t, and celebrities like Julie Andrews and even U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan have been passengers. A view of the front Restoration of the plane included painting, updated wing edges, and windows. Walt’s plane At the exhibit, there’s a diagram showing what the inside of the plane looked like.

It’s Disney+ Day and there are a ton of things happening in the parks. Disney+ Day If you don’t know, this is basically a day of Disney celebrating its streaming service Disney+. We’ve seen some pretty good promotions, as well as unique characters and free stuff over in Disney World. And now, it’s time to head to Disneyland Resort to see what Disney+ Day is like on the west coast! When we arrived outside of the parks, there were some special decorations set up for the celebration. We saw these columns of balloons… Disney+ Day in Disneyland …and this giant ring that had a blue Disney+ carpet in the middle. Interesting It’s a good spot to get a unique picture! Disney+ Day decorations Once we got into Disneyland Park, we got a complimentary Disney+ button. Free button! And, there were some special photo ops set up for the day. We spotted this one for Pinocchio. Fun! It’s to celebrate the new live-action Pinocchio movie that was just released on Disney+. Get your picture with Pinocchio! The backdrop was filled with images of clocks. Background We’ll bring you more from Disney+ Day as is goes on!

It’s Disney+ Day, and there are a ton of things happening in the parks for the occasion. Disney+ Day We’ve seen special characters, decorations, free souvenirs, and more in Disney World, and Disney+ subscribers were even able to get into the parks early. There’s also some exclusive merchandise, like a new tiki mug over at a popular Disney World resort hotel. Check out the Monstro Tiki Mug! It’s over at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. It’s fun! We saw a different version over at the Trader Sam’s in Disneyland, and it sold out very quickly. Monstro It’s available right now while supplies last for both Disney+ Day and the release of Disney’s new Pinocchio movie. New mug We went over to grab it and had to wait in a very long line! Waiting, waiting But, we finally made it to the front and got the mug after waiting in line for around 75 minutes. Pretty cool It also came with two drink options — take a look: Options One is alcoholic, while the other is non-alcoholic. We went with the Whale of a Tale, which has Malfy Gin Originale, Plantation Pineapple Rum, Italian Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, and Orgeat, and is garnished with an Orange Wheel, Charred Pineapple Wedge, and a Pineapple Leaf. It comes in a separate cup so it doesn’t get the tiki mug dirty. Pretty! The mug along with the drink was $50 altogether. So, if you want to grab it for yourself, head on over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort while supplies last! Get it now! To check out what else is going on for Disney+ Day, take a look at Mirabel making a surprise appearance in Disney World, the cast for the next season of Dancing with the Stars on Disney+, and a NEW Disney World hotel discount announced for Disney+ subscribers.

Happy Disney+ Day, friends! Disney+ Day 2022 Disney has celebrated the occasion with new movie releases on Disney+, a special theme park Early Entry for Disney+ subscribers, free SWAG in the parks, and new deals and discounts. If you’re at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you might have caught the Disney+ Day Motorcade, which featured a rare character! Let’s head into this park to see all the unique characters we found for Disney+ Day. Last year, we found some unique characters at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, who were there to celebrate Disney+ Day. So we were anxious to find out who’d be there this year! Let’s go inside! During the Disney+ Motorcade, we spotted Princess Tiana in a fashionable outfit… Princess Tiana …and Mirabel from Encanto! This is the first time we’ve seen Mirabel in this park (she’s part of a cavalcade in Magic Kingdom usually), so we were so excited to say hello. Unfortunately, she was not meeting guests — the only time you could see her was during the parade. MIrabel Pinocchio and Geppetto were also out just for the parade — we didn’t see them meeting people around the park today. Pinocchio But a few other characters were having meet-and-greets around the park! Chip and Dale could be found in their Rescue Rangers outfits near Echo Lake. Chip ‘n Dale Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers was released on Disney+ this year, so they must have been out celebrating the occasion! Meeting guests Goofy and his son Max were also here to celebrate in some fantastic outfits. Goofy & Max They were meeting guests by the Chinese Theater. Hiya! And finally, we said hello to R2-D2 over in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. You can usually meet BB-8 over at Launch Bay, but it’s pretty rare to see R2-D2 out these days! R2-D2 Those were all the unique characters we spotted at Hollywood Studios today. Disney+ Day also brought the release of a new Andor sneak peek, the announcement that BTS Permission to Dance On Stage — LA is now streaming on Disney+, and the introduction of a limited-time Disney+ discount.

Is there anything better than trying new food at Disney World? We don’t think so! Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant We’ve tried all sorts of new items like the Jack Skellington Bubble Waffle in Disney Springs, a Hocus Pocus Dole Whip flight, and even a boozy pumpkin ice cream float. Now, with the recent release of the live-action Pinocchio on Disney+, there’s a new slushy at The Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant in Magic Kingdom! Let’s give it a try. We tried the Wish Come True Slushy from Pinocchio Village Haus. It’s a Blue Raspberry Slushy with Red Passion Fruit Whipped Cream, and Boba Pearls. Wish Come True Slushy First thing first: this slushy is adorable. It’s also a really large portion size, which we liked, however, it’s so sweet that we didn’t really need that huge size. This slushy is the regular Blue Raspberry Slushy you can get at this restaurant with red passion fruit whipped cream and boba pearls. Look at that boba! It’s hot outside, so we appreciate any cold drink because it’s going to be refreshing, and this one is no exception, but this drink is almost too sweet, and it turned our reporter’s mouth and tongue blue! The dye is very strong, so definitely be aware of that, especially if you’re buying this slushy for your kiddo. The boba also makes it fun to drink because of the popping boba pearls. There’s boba on top sitting on the whipped cream, and there are also some boba pearls distributed throughout the rest of the slush, as well. The passion fruit flavor in the whipped cream isn’t too strong and just adds a light tropical flavor to the drink. More boba! We think this slushy would be great for kids because it’s very sweet and the popping boba pearls are fun, but if you want to keep your kiddo’s mouth and clothes clean, this may not be the best choice. If the Wish Come True Slushy sounds like something you’d like to try, you can get it for $5.99 from Pinocchio Village Haus. You can also get the same drink just without the boba and passion fruit whipped cream at Pinocchio Village Haus, as well. Overall, we’re not sure if this slushy is worth dyeing our mouths blue, and we probably wouldn’t order it again. Looking for other sweet treats in Magic Kingdom? You can get the Binx Pastry Cat Tail over at Cheshire Cafe, or a chocolate-orange Bashful-themed ice cream cone at Storybook Treats!

If you want a donut in Disney World, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is a must-visit. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew Everglazed is located in Disney Springs and whether you want a Classic Glazed Donut, a Grilled Cheeeeeese (yes, that’s a real thing!), or one of their more adventurous flavors like the Thailicious Donut, there’s plenty to try! You might remember last year’s Butterscotch Caramel Craze Donut from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, which was topped with Caramel Icing, Butterscotch Chips, and Caramel Corn, and it was available for a limited time. Butterscotch We loved the strong butterscotch flavoring with the hint of caramel, and the delicious smell of butterscotch was impossible to resist! Sadly, this donut has been unavailable for some time…until now. So. Much. Goodness. It’s BACK! Disney Springs announced that the Butterscotch Caramel Corn Donut has returned to Everglazed with a name change, but it looks like the ingredients are the same. If these flavors sound like something you’d enjoy, head to Everglazed and don’t wait too long — it may not be around for long. And if this doesn’t sound like a donut you’d enjoy, there are plenty of other flavors to choose from! You can get classic donut flavors for $4.75 each, while some of the more unique flavors are $5.75 each. Don’t forget to grab a coffee to go with your donut!

The Queen of the United Kingdom has passed away. ©ANDREW MILLIGAN/POOL/GETTY In the past, fans of The Queen have been able to pick up treats themed to The Queen or royal-themed merchandise in the United Kingdom pavilion in EPCOT, but today’s news surrounding the Royal family is much more somber. As we noted above, Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen of the United Kingdom, has passed away. According to a tweet from The Royal Family, The Queen passed away peacefully at Balmoral on the afternoon of September 8th. The Royal Family Tweet also indicated that The King and The Queen Consort would remain at Balmoral this night and would be heading back to London tomorrow. One of our reporters happened to be in the United Kingdom pavilion in EPCOT at the time that the news was shared, and noticed that Senior Cast Members and managers were going around to the Cast Members there and offering them time to step away or call home if needed. We are truly saddened to hear of the passing of The Queen and send our sincere condolences to all those in the Commonwealth countries. Queen Elizabeth Mug If you want to learn more about The Queen, you can watch the documentary on Disney+ entitled “Being The Queen.” It chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II and uses never-before-heard interview recordings from many who knew her. ©Disney+ We will keep an eye out for more updates.

If you’re planning to travel soon, there are a lot of updates to keep up with. Time to Book That Flight We’ve shared a look at average flight costs to get to Disney World, an upgrade that could help you avoid flight mishaps, and even a look at increased airplane prices and what that could mean for you. Now, we’ve got an update on a flight booking feature you may have used and enjoyed in the past that will be going away. Google has announced that it will be discontinuing its “Book on Google” option for flights. The option will be discontinued in most places outside of the U.S. on September 30th, 2022. According to Yahoo!, sourcing travel news website Skift, Google will end the feature within the U.S. sometime after March 31st, 2023. Have you been keeping up with the travel news? If you’re unfamiliar with it, when searching for flights on Google, people are generally presented with the option to book their flights directly with the airlines or through some travel agencies, but sometimes there’s also the option to “Book on Google.” That specific option gives people the chance to complete the transaction with the airline or travel agency while not having to leave the Google website. In those instances, Google acts as an intermediary, passing on information to the airline, and isn’t a party to the transaction. Starting September 30th, 2022 outside the U.S. or March 31st, 2023 inside the U.S., however, that ability to book right on the Google site will go away. Air travel isn’t always easy these days. If you’ve already booked a flight through Book on Google or plan to book a reservation before the end date, don’t stress. In discussing the September end date, Google has already acknowledged on its website that “Reservations made before this date won’t be impacted.” ©Google Why is the Book on Google service going away, you ask? Well, according to Yahoo!, Google has acknowledged that people would just rather book their flights directly through the airlines or with online travel agencies. Google Flights as a whole isn’t shutting down though. Instead, the Google Flights service will continue to be operational and will let people search for flight costs and ultimately allow people to click on airline and travel agency links to book the flights they want (just as they already do for the majority of flights). Are you planning a trip soon? The only thing that is changing is that Google will no longer allow people to book directly on the Google website through the “Book on Google” feature. In a statement, Google said, “Over the next 12 months, we plan to phase out the Book on Google feature for flights…We offered this functionality to give people a simpler way to buy their tickets and to help our partner airlines receive more bookings. However, we’ve found over time that people actually want to book directly on partner websites, and we always strive to meet user preferences whenever possible.” Minnie and Mickey are ready to take you away If you’ve really enjoyed the Book on Google option in the past (when available), be sure to use it while you still can. Looking to book a flight soon? We’ve got all kinds of tips and tricks to help inform your booking process. You can click here to see how cut flights might make it harder to fly to Disney World this holiday season. We’ve also got a whole post about 21 things a former flight attendant NEEDS you to know, and a look at the airlines you’ll want to AVOID if you don’t want to get bumped from your flight.

Flying has been a bit difficult this summer. Flying right now can be stressful There have been thousands of delays and cancelations around the U.S., caused partially due to staffing issues. Some airlines have even canceled routes altogether, or are even canceling flights months in advance to try and curb last-minute cancelations. So, which airports have had the most issues? We’re about to tell you! Now that summer is pretty much over (at least, summer travel is!), a list has been released from FlightAware showing the airports with the most delays and cancelations around the U.S., according to CNN. It uses the date from Memorial Day weekend through September 5th, 2022. ©Spirit Airlines All of the airports in the United States with the highest percentages of arrival delays saw 1/4 or more of their flights delayed this summer, according to CNN. Coming in at the number 1 spot was Chicago Midway International Airport, who had 37.7% of its flights delayed. Where to next? In the 2nd spot was Baltimore/Washington International Airport with 32.5%, and rounding out the top 3 was Orlando International Airport with 32.2% of its flights delayed. Orlando International Airport Here’s what the rest of the list looked like: In 4th place was John F. Kennedy International Airport with 31%, in 5th place was Harry Reid International Airport with 31%, in 6th was Newark Liberty International Airport with 30.4%, in 7th was Dallas Love Field Airport with 29.1%, in 8th was Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with 28.3%, in 9th was Denver International Airport with 27.5%, and in 10th was Charlotte Douglas International Airport with 27.2%. ©Getty Images The list looked a bit different for cancelations though. Orlando International Airport did NOT make the top 10 for the airports with the most cancelations this summer. In the top 3 for the most cancelations were number 1: Newark Liberty International Airport with 6.7% of its flights canceled, number 2: LaGuardia Airport with 6.7% of its flights canceled, and number 3: Reagan National Airport with 4.8% of its flights canceled. Have you been keeping up with the travel news? Here’s what the remainder of the list looked like: 4. Raleigh-Durham International Airport: 3.7% 5. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport: 3.5% 6. Pittsburgh International Airport: 3.4% 7. Boston Logal International Airport: 3% 8. John Glenn Columbus International Airport: 3% 9. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport: 2.9% 10. Indianapolis International Airport: 2.9% With the summer travel season coming to an end, things should be looking up. In fact, Labor Day weekend already saw some improvements — the flight cancelation rate was only 0.6%, which was a big drop down from the summer average, which was 2.2%.

But one of the best parts about being in the park today was the Disney+ Day Motorcade! Let’s celebrate! We saw this parade last year as well, but there’s a NEW addition this time. Before we get to the new character, we spotted Princess Tiana looking very fashionable as she led the parade. Princess Tiana And then Mirabel from Encanto came next! Mirabel debuted in Disney World as part of the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade in Magic Kingdom earlier this year, but this is the first time we’ve seen her in Hollywood Studios. She danced by, waving hello to everyone as she went. There she goes! After Mirabel, we saw more Disney characters, like Pinocchio and Geppetto (maybe they’re celebrating the release of the live-action Pinocchio on Disney+!). Pinocchio Chip and Dale were there in their Rescue Rangers outfits, too. Chip & Dale And a few characters who are usually part of the Pixar Pals Motorcade in this park joined in as well, including Sully from Monsters, Inc.… Sully …Jessie from Toy Story… Jessie …Buzz Lightyear… Buzz Lightyear …and Edna Mode with the Incredibles. Edna Mode Mickey and Minnie Mouse brought up the rear in their adorable 50th Anniversary outfits. Mickey and Minnie! And that was the end of the parade! There they go!

Planning a Disney World trip isn’t something that just happens. How far in advance do YOU plan for your Disney World trips? For many of us, it requires a lot of planning, including figuring out a budget, where to stay, and (most importantly) where to eat. But how long does it take to make all of those plans? Well, we asked YOU, our DFB readers, on Facebook and you told us! A Year Or Longer One DFB Reader, along with others, said a year in advance is needed to plan a trip: “I would say about a year. Gives you time to make payments while also saving for other expenses.” Another reader agreed: “I like to plan at least a year out. It takes that long to save and get a good plan mapped out. Do whatever works for you and yours.” EPCOT Another reader also commented that a year is a good amount of time to plan: “I like to plan a year out. I want to make sure to have ample time for saving money. I do not scrimp on vacation. I don’t order groceries or bring snacks. I want to go all out, so a quick unplanned trip would definitely not be for me.” Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom One more reader said the same: “A year this way you can plan and get ready for reservations the minute you know your going and your going to stay in Disney make reservation for your vacation sometimes rooms are sold out and park reservations get them the same day too. We book everything January or Feb -March the latest.” Six Months Some of you think it only takes six months to really plan a trip for Disney World in advance. One reader answered, “6 months…. We don’t go as often as I’d like, so we like to plan to get our $$ worth. We had 8 in our party so everyone had to get approved time off work/school. Gives you time to get best flights. Planning is fun!” Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Another reader said the same, “6 months or so. You used to HAVE to plan a minimum of 180 days out to get the best dining reservations, but now I just recommend that timeline to make sure you get the resort, room, and dates you want. When we booked in January for a June trip, the standard rooms were already sold out!” Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom Another reader is currently using the 6-month rule: “We started 6 months ago after we got back from Disneyland..we’re going in December this year! The countdown is on “ 1-3 Months Some of you think anywhere from a month to three months is plenty of time to plan a trip to Disney World. One reader said, “I’ve done as short as 3 months it depends on whether or not you have specific things you want to do or not. We are just go with the flow people so don’t have to plan much more than the hotel and the park reservations.” Monorail at EPCOT Another commented, “There are times we plan 60 days in advance if there is some place special we want to eat. There are other times when we look to see what park still has reservations available that day or just head over to Disney Springs for the day.” Hollywood Studios While another said, “I planned mine in 2 and half months. Had a fantastic time.” Last-Minute Others of you like to live dangerously and have planned trips with weeks, and even HOURS, of when you want to arrive. One DFB reader said, “The best trip we ever had was planned in 12 hours. We rented points, got a great airfare, and I was able to get every restaurant we wanted. (Pre covid)” Tomorrowland Bridge in Magic Kingdom Another reader likes the spontaneity of waiting until the last minute: “My favorite is when my husband says, “You want to go to Disney today?” And I respond, “Let me see which parks have availability.” Then I take off work early and surprise the kids when they get out of school. The. Best.” And one more reader agreed, “8 hours! One of the best trips I’ve had to Disney ever! (And yes, we did have to fly there) I usually plan a year in advance but something about the spontaneity made the trip so much more magical!” Magic Kingdom entrance Another reader said that waiting until later to plan is less stressful: “The best one I ever planned was about in about 3 weeks time. Less time to stress over it all. Just time to go and have fun!” It Depends The majority of you believe that it really depends on what your priorities are for the trip. One reader said, “It all depends on various factors. If you are firm on a resort and/or time of year, the earlier the better. If you are flexible with resorts, park days, restaurant reservations, and dates of travel, you can plan closer to dates time of travel.” Germany Pavilion in EPCOT Another reader said, “I think it depends on where you live. Out of state, where you will have more expenses included (flights) I would say maybe a year. If you are local, I’d say at least 6 months, just to save for the resort itself, food and anything extra you may want.” And a reader agreed, “I think you can always take a last minute trip if you are flexible on where to stay and don’t care about restaurant reservations. If you do care about those things I say a 6 mos to a year if you want your choice of hotel or at least 4 months ahead of you want to make restaurant reservations with your plans. That way you have your choice of restaurants before they are all booked up.” Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios Another reader said, “Depends on if this is a first trip or 10th. First timers need to start planning at least a year in advance and probably get assistance from either a Disney Travel agent of a really good friend that had gone multiple times. Personally, I’ve been so many times in the last 20 years that I could plan it in a couple days. However, I’d plan it 60-70 days out in order to take advantage of better dining options and such.” We agree that it probably does depend on if you’re a first-timer or not and what your priorities for a trip are. However, if you do wait to plan your trip, you risk not getting your first choice of hotel. Also, keep in mind that advance dining reservations can be made as early as 60 days from the first day of your trip, so you’ll need that vacation booked in time to grab those hard-to-get spots. Oga’s Cantina is often hard to get reservations for Really planning a Disney World trip comes down to your and your wants and needs. If you want more time to save and budget, then you may want to plan further out. If you want a bit of spontaneity, then booking a trip a week or two before you’re going might be just what the doctor ordered.

We won’t judge, we promise! Can you EVER have enough? We’ve been seeing SO many new pairs of ears pop up, like the beautiful pearl ears, pastel ears we adore, and super cool tie-dye ears. And yet, we’ve found ANOTHER pair of ears in Disney World that you may be tempted to grab ASAP, so prepare your wallet! Check out the Minnie Mouse Button Bow ears! What do you think? We’ve actually already seen these online, but now they’re available in Disney World! Fun! We found them over in The Emporium in Magic Kingdom. These will go with a lot of different outfits! The ears are made of a black felt that has white stitching. A closer look The bow is a plush red cotton with the different buttons sewn on. So many buttons! And, the inside of the headband is red velour, so it’s soft. A look inside If you’re an avid ears wearer, you might find this next detail interesting! We noticed these aren’t too tight around your ears, which makes them easier to wear sunglasses with. These are comfy! But, the downside to these is that the black felt attracts all kinds of fuzz because of the material. It will be difficult to keep these looking clean! We can’t say we’ve had this issue with many other pairs of ears before, but you might want to keep a mini lint roller in your park bag! Oh no! You can also get these ears online over on shopDisney!

“I heard Cinderella Castle can be disassembled in a hurricane.” “Oh yeah?! Well, I heard that the turkey legs in Disney World are NOT made of turkey.” “I heard that Walt Disney is frozen inside the Carousel of Progress!” That’s just a snippet of the creative rumors many have spread over the years. Suffice it to say, we’ve heard our fair share of Disney World myths and you probably have too. Cinderella Castle But the rumor mill never sleeps. From stories about Cinderella Castle being torn down (?!) to rumors that the Princess and the Frog re-theme of Splash Mountain has been canceled, there are a lot of stories floating around out there. So we’re here to DEBUNK some of the big rumors you might have scrolled past on the internet so you can know what’s real and what’s totally fake! 1 — Cinderella Castle Is Being Demolished We start with a rumor you may have seen popping up on your Instagram feed or TikTok account — the story that Cinderella Castle will reportedly be taken down in the near future. We even got a comment from one of our readers asking us if the rumors were true. Well, dear reader, thankfully the rumors are NOT true. Stay With Us Forever Beautiful Castle! The rumor appears to have started thanks to a TikTok posted from an account named @mousetrapnews or The Mouse Trap. In the TikTok video, the narrator shares that Cinderella Castle will be removed after the 50th Anniversary, and then a doctored photo of Magic Kingdom with the Castle removed is shown. They also note that the news is “devastating” and that no mention has been made of what will replace the Castle. The TikTok ends by directing individuals to visit The Mouse Trap news website for more details. Once you visit that website, you’ll realize what’s going on — you’ve fallen into a mouse trap of your own! In the “About” section, the folks behind The Mouse Trap describe their site as “the world’s best satire site” — a.k.a. it’s not real news! It’s NOT Real — The Castle is Sticking Around Folks! They go on to note that they “write fake stories about Disney parks stuff” and share that “you can be assured that anything you read here is not true, real, or accurate, but it is fun.” So the rumor all stems from a joke site and a satirical post — a.k.a. there’s no need to panic about Cinderella Castle suddenly disappearing. Now, that’s not to say that Disney can’t or won’t change Cinderella Castle in some way in the future. We have seen them give the beloved icon a paint job and new decorations in the past. And presumably, the 50th Anniversary decorations will need to come down once the celebrations are over. 50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle Future celebrations or just future days could bring a new paint scheme to the castle, a change in decor, etc. But, thus far, we haven’t seen anything to indicate that the castle itself will be completely demolished in the future. Considering the fact that the Castle serves as the icon for Magic Kingdom park and truly the resort as a whole, we think it would be highly unlikely that Disney would entirely demolish it. And considering that the original story came from a satire site, it seems like this is one rumor that can be DEBUNKED. Click here to see EVERY Disney World and Disneyland castle transformation in history 2 — Disney Has Canceled Its Splash Mountain Re-Theme Another rumor that has surfaced on the internet is that Disney has reportedly canceled their re-theme of the Splash Mountain attraction into a The Princess and the Frog-themed ride. Splash Mountain Re-Theme…Canceled? This is another rumor that started from…you guessed it, a TikTok from @mousetrapnews. Just as we mentioned above, The Mouse Trap is a satire-based site that writes fake Disney stories. They explain that they write “100% made up stories for your enjoyment.” And it seems like they’re pretty good at making people believe their stories too. Though we still haven’t gotten a ton of details about the Splash Mountain re-theme, and it hasn’t exactly been as “expedited” as it initially seemed to be, the project does seem to be moving forward. ©Disney In July of 2022, Disney’s official fan club — D23 — shared a peek at Tiana’s new look for the ride. In July of 2022, we also got the official new ride’s name and an opening timeline. And since then we’ve gotten a peek at some art meant to inspire those working on the ride. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to open in late 2024 in both Disneyland and Disney World. This is reflected on the Disney websites (for both Disney World and Disneyland), which note that Splash Mountain will “undergo a transformation” and reopen as the Princess and the Frog-themed ride on both coasts. ©Disney And it looks like more re-theme news could be on the way. Disney has announced that at the D23 Expo there will be a Wonderful World of Dreams pavilion where those from the Disney Parks and Experiences team will reveal a behind-the-scenes look at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. We’ll be at the D23 Expo covering everything you need to know, so check back with us for details! Click here for more details about this ride transformation 3 — Disney World Is Trying to Lower the Drinking Age to 18 The drinking age in Florida is currently 21. That was established WAAAY back in 1985, largely due to the federal government’s threat that they would withhold millions of dollars in highway money if the state didn’t “comply with efforts to curb teen-age traffic deaths,” according to the South Florida SunSentinel. Disney would actually have to convince legislators to change the law that set up this arrangement long ago, so are they actually trying to do it? Fuzzy Tauntaun Well, you can thank the satire site The Mouse Trap once again for this rumor. According to their TikTok video, Disney is battling the Florida government in court to get a special exemption just for individuals on Disney property. Again, as we’ve noted above, The Mouse Trap fully acknowledges that it is a satire site, and NONE of the things it shares are true. So…yeah, there’s really nothing to report here — the rumors are not true! Drinking Ages Are NOT Changing While Disney has been involved with governmental entities on some more recent battles over the Parental Rights in Education Bill or the dissolution of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, we haven’t seen anything to indicate that they’re trying to change the drinking age laws or get an exemption when it comes to drinking age. So you’ll have to save those Fuzzy Tauntauns for your 21st birthday and beyond. Click here to see the 1 drink you should get from each EPCOT pavilion 4 — Walt Disney Is Cryogenically Frozen and Stored in Cinderella Castle The rumors of Walt Disney being frozen in a cryonic chamber have been around for a while. Some even claim that Walt will be “defrosted” (so to speak) in the future when the technology is available to essentially bring him back to life. Just when did this rumor start? Well, according to PBS just a few weeks after Walt’s death in 1966, a reporter for a tabloid paper claimed that he snuck into the hospital where Walt was treated near the end of his life and claimed that he saw Walt in a cryogenic cylinder. And the rest, as they say, is history. Newspapers, former Disney employees, and more spread the rumors for years. And Walt Disney himself didn’t exactly help the situation. According to PBS, Walt sensed his “impending demise” and asked to be recorded before his passing as he addressed his colleagues. In that recording, Walt told them what he expected of their future performance, and said he hoped to see them soon. Walt Disney But the rumor has long been debunked. As PBS points out, there are a number of things that can be pointed to, but the most “convincing conclusion” comes from Walt’s own daughter, Diane, who, back in 1972, wrote “There is absolutely no truth that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics.” In reality, Walt was cremated after his death and the urn with his ashes was placed at Forrest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California. According to SF Gate, though his grave is difficult to find, people visit Walt’s memorial often and leave toys, flowers, and more (though those are generally taken away by the groundskeepers). ©Disney Now, we’re sure there are people out there who will claim it’s all a hoax — the death certificate was fabricated, the memorial is a front, and Walt truly is frozen. And we’ll probably never be able to convince those people to believe otherwise, but we wouldn’t expect to see a defrosted Walt just walking around Magic Kingdom anytime soon.

According to some rumors, Cinderella Castle can reportedly be dismantled in case there is an intense hurricane that hits Orlando. It’s actually a rumor that seems to have existed since Cinderella Castle was first built. Hurricanes have impacted Disney World before, and we have seen some extreme weather in the parks, including some big flooding, but Cinderella Castle has stayed up throughout it all. Dark Clouds over Disney World While it would certainly be fascinating to see the Castle disassembled, it’s simply something that doesn’t happen! The Castle is stuck where it’s at and neither the castle itself nor the turrets will just get removed or disassembled if a storm appears. The Castle is built to last, though, and can withstand strong winds, so don’t worry. It’s survived this long and we have a feeling it’ll keep on surviving! If you are curious to know how to prepare for hurricane season or how to survive Disney World weather, click here! You can also click here to see what to expect from the 2022 hurricane season in Disney World. Click here to see other Disney myths we’ve BUSTED 6 — Disney World Has No Mosquitos And finally, we get to a rumor that we wish was true. Many sources online indicate that Disney World has NO mosquitoes — not a single one, no mosquitos whatsoever, zero, zilch. And well, we WISH that was true. On the one hand, it is very much true that Disney works diligently to control bugs, like mosquitos, on property. The Disney website even notes that they have an “extensive mosquito prevention and monitoring program.” Various reports online discuss some of the things Disney reportedly does to keep mosquitos at bay, including making sure there’s no standing water, using mosquito traps, and more. There ARE Bugs But is it true that you will NEVER get bitten by a mosquito while in Disney World? Sadly, NO. We reached out to our very own team and several mentioned that they have been bitten by mosquitos. One even noted that they got bitten specifically over by some bushes near the Japan pavilion in EPCOT, so watch out! A member of our team also shared that they spoke to a nurse at a Disney park who said that they DO have mosquitos there, of course! The good news? Disney does work hard to prevent mosquitos from biting you so hopefully, you won’t get too many bites. Some members of our team have actually managed to escape the wrath of mosquito bites entirely in Disney World, so Disney is doing their job pretty well. But for others, some mosquito bites have landed them in the first aid center due to swelling. If you do get bitten, know that the Disney park first aid centers do carry Benadryl and cortisone cream so you can get a bit of relief. Not a Mosquito But WOAH More Bugs Keep in mind that it’s not just the mosquitos you should be aware of in Disney World. There are ants to consider (look for these near planters especially), lovebugs, snakes, and bees, among other wild creatures. You’re truly living with the land.

Want to get a chance to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance with fewer crowds? Or hoping to hop on Slinky Dog Dash without as many people around? Your chance is coming up! Tower of Terror Those staying at Disney World Deluxe Hotels or Deluxe Villas can take advantage of the special Extended Evening Hours perk in Disney World, which gives them extra time in select parks on certain evenings. This perk is usually available at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, though it was offered just ONCE at Hollywood Studios. Well, if you’ve been hoping that it would be offered at Disney’s Hollywood Studios again…your wish has come true! Disney has announced that Extended Evening Hours will be coming BACK to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on December 15th and 22nd, 2022! Extended Evening Hours on those nights will be from 9PM to 11PM. In celebration of the “most magical season of the year” Disney is bringing back this perk to Hollywood Studios so you can enjoy holiday decor, rides, and more. Time to Ride This at Night! Keep in mind that the Extended Evening Hours perk is only available to guests staying at Deluxe Disney World Hotels or Deluxe Villas (or select other qualifying hotels). The list below shows ALL of the hotels that qualify for this special benefit. ©Disney During Extended Evening Hours, qualifying guests can spend some extra time in the designated parks on the specified dates. Only certain rides are open during this time, so just keep that in mind. The list below shows all of the rides that will be open at Hollywood Studios during these special Extended Evening Hours dates. Some really popular rides are available during this time, including Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Visiting the park during Extended Evening Hours can be a great way of hopping on these popular rides with more minimal waits since only a select group is allowed to stay late in the parks on those nights. ©Disney Disney’s Hollywood Studios isn’t the only park that’ll have Extended Evening Hours in December though. Magic Kingdom and EPCOT will also offer Extended Evening Hours on select nights — you can see that schedule below or click here to see our post where we continuously update the Extended Evening Hours dates that are available! Magic Kingdom and EPCOT will also be part of the Extended Evening Hours perk on various dates from September through November, so you can check those out and keep them in mind when planning future trips. ©Disney Don’t qualify for Extended Evening Hours? Remember that everyone staying at ALL Disney World hotels and select other qualifying hotels can take advantage of the Early Theme Park Entry perk, which lets guests enter the park of their choice 30 minutes early every single day (a park pass and valid ticket are required). Since the Extended Evening Hours perk is not often offered at Disney’s Hollywood Studios though, we’d say this particular perk could be one you’ll really want to take advantage of! We’ll continue to look for updates on the Extended Evening Hours perk and let you know what we see. Looks so cool!
