Happy Labor Day, everyone! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Line on Labor Day Labor Day can bring heavier crowds to Disney World, just like many three-day weekends throughout the year do. However, many schools up north don’t return to school until after Labor Day weekend, meaning that some families are still taking end-of-summer vacations up until the end of Labor Day. Recently we’ve seen a dip in crowd levels at Disney — will Labor Day bring them all back? Come with us to find out! We went into the parks today to scout out how this year’s Labor Day crowds are looking. Let’s see what’s going on in each of the parks! Magic Kingdom As we entered Magic Kingdom, we noticed that we weren’t shoulder-to-shoulder with other guests like we have been on past Labor Day holidays. Not only that, but we were able to make it into the park pretty quickly today! Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom Even as we walked down Main Street, U.S.A., we weren’t running into anyone or having to reroute ourselves in order to avoid crowds. We happily sauntered our way down to Cinderella Castle to take it all in! Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom We thought that maybe this was just an early morning fluke, but as we made our way further into the park we were happy to see that there were still no large crowds to be seen. Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom Even the line to meet princesses over in Fantasyland was empty! Is it possible that summer crowds finally left Disney World — and aren’t coming back?! Labor Day crowds in Magic Kingdom Not only that, but wait times have been SERIOUSLY low throughout the day in Magic Kingdom, too. Check out this screenshot our reporter took of wait times a couple of hours after the park had been open! ©Disney So, what did Labor Day crowds look like in the other Disney World parks?! EPCOT We saw much of the same crowd levels at EPCOT throughout the morning, and didn’t find ourselves facing bottlenecking in certain areas like we sometimes see in EPCOT. Overall, we were able to roam about as we pleased. EPCOT Labor Day crowds Popular pavilions appeared to be ghost towns, like the China Pavilion seen here — which is usually poppin’ with people heading into check out the wares at the House of Good Fortune. EPCOT Labor Day crowds What’s this?! No long line to grab a beer from the Germany Pavilion?! The Labor Day “crowds” in Disney World don’t seem to be crowds at all — at least not for the time being. EPCOT Labor Day crowds Over in the France Pavilion, guests are usually seated around this flowerbed, taking a break from the heat or having a snack. When we passed by, there wasn’t a single soul nearby vying for a spot to sit down! EPCOT Labor Day crowds This is honestly a little shocking considering the busy travel weekend Orlando International Airport saw. According to Fox 35 Orlando, a whopping 764,600 people were expected to travel through the airport this weekend, and WESH reported that more than 100,000 are expected to pass through MCO today alone. We’ve seen pretty high Labor Day Weekend crowds at Disney World in the past, but so far today things have been pretty quiet. We’ll be monitoring crowd levels and wait times in the parks all Labor Day long so be sure to check back here for the latest updates. Orlando International Airport And that’s what Disney World is looking like today! When high crowd levels are expected during your Disney World trip, you may want to look into getting Disney Genie+ or take advantage of some of the ride lines that have special details hidden inside.

Few Disney collectibles have the following that Trader Sam’s Tiki Mugs have. We’ve seen these mugs sell out almost immediately when new ones come out, which was essentially what happened with the Pinocchio-themed Monstro tiki mug in Disneyland. Tiki Mug at Trader Sam’s If you live over on the east coast, you might be wondering if and when that mug will appear in Disney World. Luckily, we have an update for you! Disney’s new Monstro Tiki Mug is inspired by the whale from Pinocchio. It came out at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland this past August and sold out very quickly. Monstro!!! We’ve been waiting to hear whether this mug will come to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disneyland (located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort), and now we finally have an update! Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar posted this update on Instagram: Although they didn’t confirm a date for the mug’s arrival at Disney World, they did say, “Stay tuned for Monstro updates coming to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto!” That means we will see this frightening mug in Disney World at some point. When it was released in Disneyland, the mug cost $50. We’re assuming it will cost the same in Disney World as well. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto We’ll be on the lookout for more updates, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news! Click here to learn more about the Monstro Tiki Mug.

There’s a lot to do in EPCOT, whether you’re visiting for a festival or stopping by one of the many World Showcase restaurants. Spaceship Earth Of course, there are rides too! But we all know that one of the biggest draws to EPCOT is FOOD — so what should you spend your money on, and what should you avoid? Find out right here! Food EPCOT Festivals EPCOT generally hosts four festivals a year with tons of reasons to visit — and spend money! You can start the year with EPCOT Festival of the Arts, followed by the Flower & Garden Festival, then the Food & Wine Festival, and finally the Festival of the Holidays. Each festival features different decor, food booths, activities, entertainment, and more. There are usually four EPCOT festivals per year! If you’re overwhelmed and not sure what to spend your money on, don’t stress! We have guides to the past “best of the fest” for each festival that you can use as a guide for future festivals. Take a look to get an idea of what each festival has to offer and which booths you might want to visit during your next visit! Best of the Fest: 2022 Food & Wine Festival Best of the Fest: 2022 Flower & Garden Festival Best of the Fest: 2022 Festival of the Arts Best of the Fest: 2021 Festival of Holidays Keep in mind that some food booths don’t come back every year and new ones can also pop up, so every festival is a bit different than the previous year. Regardless, you can plan your budget and have a general idea of which booths you might want to visit! Three budget plans for EPCOT festivals! Eat and Drink Around the World “Eating and drinking around the world” refers to finding places, to well, eat and drink around the World Showcase! With 11 different pavilions representing different countries, there are unique and interesting quick service and table service restaurants and kiosks nearly everywhere you turn. And if you don’t drink, no problem! There are plenty of nonalcoholic drink options too. EPCOT’s World Showcase Some of our favorite classic drinks include the Ice Cream Martini from L’Artisan des Glaces in France… Gingerbread Ice Cream Martini …the El Diablo Margarita from La Cava del Tequila in Mexico… El Diablo …and the Frozen Viking Coffee from Kringa Bakeri Og Kafe in Norway. Frozen Viking Coffee These are just a few of our faves, though, and some of them are also offered without alcohol! Take a look at our video below for all kinds of tasty drink options. The ONE drink you should get from each EPCOT pavilion! And when it comes to food, it’s really up to you to decide whether you want to prioritize fast food spots or sit-down restaurants. You can get a reservation at Le Cellier in Canada to try their famous Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup… Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup …or you can take a trip over to the UK to get some Fish and Chips from the Yorkshire County Fish Shop. Fish and Chips And don’t forget to stop by Karamell-Kuche in Germany to get some classic Werther’s Caramel Popcorn. We can practically smell it from here! Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn Still feeling overwhelmed? Check out our video below for our ranking of EVERY EPCOT restaurant! Ranking EVERY fast food restaurant in EPCOT! Restaurants Space 220 One of Disney World’s newest restaurants is Space 220, an immersive themed restaurant where guests can dine in “space.” This restaurant features a multi-course, prix fixe menu for lunch and dinner, alongside the Space 220 Lounge, where you can order select items from the main menu a la carte. Space 220 Dining Room The menu is space-themed, and lunch diners pay $55 per adult for an appetizer and an entree, or $29 per child for an entree, a dessert, and a drink. For dinner, it’ll cost adults $79 for three courses (appetizer, entree, and dessert), or $29 per child for the same selections as lunch. Space 220 Dinner Spread Unfortunately, reservations for both Space 220 and Space 220 Lounge seem to be VERY difficult to come by. Remember, dining reservations open 60 days before your visit, so this is one restaurant you definitely want to set an alarm for. Click here for our FULL review of the dinner menu at Space 220! Garden Grill Garden Grill is a rotating restaurant in EPCOT where diners can actually see scenes from Living with the Land as they eat! It’s also a character dining spot — Mickey, Chip, and Dale circle around to stop by every table. Garden Grill Garden Grill is located in the Land Pavilion and it’s the only character dining location in EPCOT. The menu features an all-you-care-to-enjoy family-style menu, with some dishes that even have produce grown in the Living with the Land greenhouses. Lunch and dinner cost $55 per adult or $36 per child, and you’ll typically be served eats like Barbecue-roasted Chicken (previously turkey breast), Harvest-Inspired Salad, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, Southern-Style Spoon Bread, Berry Short Cake, and more. That’s a LOT of food. Reservations aren’t always difficult to get (we’ve even found same-day reservations open!) but it might be difficult for you to settle on Garden Grill considering there are SO MANY dining options in EPCOT. But if you’re in the mood for a restaurant that doubles as a ride (kind of), this is it! Click here for our most recent review of Garden Grill! Le Cellier Steakhouse We’ve already mentioned Le Cellier for their delicious Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup but there’s a LOT more to this restaurant than just soup! Le Cellier is a signature restaurant (aka it’s fancy!) so it IS expensive — and you can find it tucked away in the Canada Pavilion. Le Cellier Aside from steak options like Filet Mignon, you can also dine on several Poutine dishes, Loaded Boursin Mashed Potatoes, a Warm Pecan-Brown Butter Tart for dessert, and lots more tasty options. Who’s ready for some steak? Keep in mind that Le Cellier is PRICEY, so make sure you peruse the menu and plan your budget accordingly. Reservations are not always easy to get, so this is one of those restaurants you want to be ready to reserve 60 days before your visit! Check out our most recent review of Le Cellier right here! Les Halles Boulangerie Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is tucked away in the back of the France Pavilion and whether you’re looking for a bakery treat, a sandwich, or even a full baguette, this is the place you want to stop by. No reservations are required! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie Here you can choose from a variety of French sandwiches like the DFB favorite Jambon Beurre as well as desserts like macarons and Mousse au Chocolat. You can also get a full-size baguette for just $3.50, which means it’s one of the cheapest snacks in Disney World! There’s almost always a line You will generally find a long-ish line inside Les Halles, so make sure you plan your time wisely if you’d like to stop by for a treat. Prices can range from $3.50 for a baguette to $11.95 for a cheese plate, so it’s also not super unreasonable for a Disney restaurant! Here are 21 reviews of items at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie! Yorkshire County Fish Shop Over in the UK Pavilion, Yorkshire County Fish Shop has only one menu item and it’s fish and chips — and trust us when we say that there’s a reason why they don’t need any other menu options. We’re talking crispy, delicious fish paired with steak fries that are never soggy (at least in our experience). Yorkshire County Fish Shop You get a big piece of fish with “chips” for $12.99, and it’s not heavily breaded but it can be a little greasy. Even if you don’t like fish, this is one fish you might want to try. Fish and Chips Yorkshire takes both Mobile Orders and walk-up orders, but you may want to stick with mobile orders if you want to avoid a long line. Click here for our review of Yorkshire County Fish Shop! L’Artisan des Glaces If you head back to France in the mood for sweets, stop by L’Artisan des Glaces for sixteen different flavors of house-made ice cream and sorbet, as well as the famous Ice Cream Martini. L’Artisan des Glaces You can get ice cream in a waffle cone or a cup, and there are also specialty items like Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches, Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches, and cappuccinos too. Seasonal flavors are also available throughout the year. Gingerbread Ice Cream This shop is pretty tiny so you’ll typically find a long line snaking outside the front door of the store, but it’s still worth a visit if you’re an ice cream fan! Check out a recent review of L’Artisan des Glaces here! Karamell-Kuche If you’re in the mood for caramel, it’s time to head to Karamell-Kuche in Germany, where you can choose from a wide variety of treats. It’s convenient too — they now accept Mobile Order! Karamell-Kuche Inside Karamell-Kuche you’ll walk into the smell of buttery caramel deliciousness, which makes this store worth a visit JUST for that — but you’ll probably want to grab a treat too. We love the Salted Caramel Cupcake, the Werthers Original Caramel Flight, and of course, the seasonal Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich. YES And don’t forget about grabbing a bag of Werther’s Original Caramel Corn! Here’s a review of a DFB favorite at Karamell-Kuche! Pizza al Taglio When it’s open, Pizza al Taglio is one of our favorite places to grab pizza in Disney World! This window seemingly opens randomly, so it might not be open during your visit — but if it is, we HIGHLY recommend checking it out. Pizza al Taglio Pizza al Taglio is located in the Italy Pavilion next to Via Napoli, and they typically serve pepperoni pizza, plain cheese pizza, and cannoli, as well as drinks like wine and beer. You don’t need a reservation to grab a slice (or two) and it’s SUPER tasty — and under $10 per slice! Pizza! If you need a quick meal in EPCOT and this pizza window is open, you might want to consider it a sign to grab some pizza. Click here to read more about Pizza al Taglio! Whew! That’s a lot of restaurants we just mentioned, and it’s really only the tip of the Disney dining iceberg. With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals. That’s why we wrote the DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World. You can take our ebook with you! We have reviews, pictures and details about every restaurant all in one digital download – along with ALL of our best tips and strategies from decades of Disney World trips. We’ve got a special discount code for DFB readers, too! Use WDW2022 at checkout for 25% off! Click here to order the DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining! Entertainment Festival Scavenger Hunts Part of the fun of festivals is the scavenger hunts! Each EPCOT festival typically features a themed scavenger hunt that tasks you with finding hidden icons around EPCOT. For example, at the Food & Wine Festival, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak sends you searching for Chef Remy statues hidden around the park. It’s Chef Remy! For each hunt, you can search for the icon all on your own or you can buy a gameboard (including stickers you can place for each icon you find!) for around $9.99 from Creations Shop, Port of Entry, or World Traveler at the International Gateway. If you buy a board, you can also earn a prize, regardless of whether you actually complete the hunt. 2022 Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt Game Board Prizes usually include four different choices of small items, and in the past we’ve seen cups, bowls, containers, and even figurines you could paint! These are the prizes for Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Participating in an EPCOT festival scavenger hunt can be a fun activity combined with a unique souvenir. It might be worth your time AND money! Check out our complete guide to the 2022 Food & Wine Festival scavenger hunt here! Fireworks Dining Packages If you want an excellent view of the Harmonious Nighttime Spectacular fireworks and a meal, a few EPCOT restaurants offer packages that allow you to do both. Choose from either the Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package or the Spice Road Table Fireworks Dining Package for different menu options and views of the show. View of Harmonious from Rose & Crown Dining Package The Rose & Crown package includes an appetizer, entree, dessert platter, and unlimited drinks for $89 per adult and $39 per child, and you get to enjoy the fireworks while eating your meal. At Spice Road Table, the fireworks package gets you two small plates, dessert, and unlimited drinks, with fireworks views from the covered outdoor dining room at the restaurant. Click HERE to find our review of the EPCOT Fireworks Dining Package! Merchandise Festival Souvenirs Remember how we’ve talked about the four EPCOT festivals that take place every year? Each festival also typically comes with new lines of merchandise, with some festivals releasing multiple different collections. Food and Wine merchandise Curious about what’s been released in the past? Click below!

Mitsukoshi Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion is full of fun and unusual souvenirs that you can’t always find easily outside of EPCOT. Give them as gifts or keep some for yourself! Mitsukoshi Whether you’re looking for plushes, accessories, clothing, food, and more — there’s plenty to choose from. In fact, we’ve seen video game-themed merchandise, animal face masks, Japanese candy, unicorn mermaids, inflatable vases — yes, seriously. And if you’re a history buff, you might also like the story behind this centuries-old store! Mitsukoshi Mitsukoshi is the sponsor and host of the Japan Pavilion and the store has been in Disney World since EPCOT’s opening day in 1982. Stop by for some interesting souvenirs and a bit of history, too! Learn about the history of Mitsukoshi here! House of Good Fortune Looking for more unique souvenirs? Head to House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion for some surprises! Seriously, we’ve seen a $368 silver ant, a cringy Single Rider T-Shirt, and even poisonous trinket trays (??). We’re not lying when we say we’ve also seen a figure of a Frog Sitting On A Toilet. House of Good Fortune You can also find interesting treats like the Crispy Crepes we tried in the past, made with durian filling. If you’re looking for a snack other than a Mickey pretzel, stop by House of Good Fortune for something different! Should you be scared to try this hidden EPCOT treat? Miscellaneous If you can’t get in the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (read more about that here), you might want to splurge on a Lightning Lane through Disney’s Genie+ program. The ride is too good to skip! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Individual Lightning Lanes let you purchase access to the Lightning Lanes of some of Disney World’s most popular rides — including Cosmic Rewind. If you’re staying in a Disney World hotel on the morning of your EPCOT park reservation, you can start buying your Lightning Lane at 7AM. Otherwise, you have to wait until EPCOT opens to the public for the day. Tap Point for Lightning Lane entrance for Cosmic Rewind In the My Disney Experience app, you simply select the Individual Lightning Lane time of your choice (depending on what’s available), and you can expect to pay between $14 to $17 per person, depending on the day. When your time slot opens, you can enter the Lightning Lane! ©Disney Sound confusing? No worries — we suggest checking out the following guides before your visit!

BOO! It’s Halloween time at Disneyland Resort, and there are tons of tricks and treats. Halloween in Disneyland The Haunted Mansion has received its Halloween overlay, spooky treats have arrived, and frightful merchandise is available all over the resort. Of course we’ve been visiting the parks frequently to take in all of the fall offerings! So, while we wait for the arrival of the highly-anticipated Candy Corn Donald Duck Sipper (any day now, Donald), let’s take a look at another sipper themed after the most iconic Disney Halloween decoration. Of course, we’re talking about the giant Mickey Pumpkin on Main Street, U.S.A. And, to pay homage to this iconic decoration, you can grab the Mickey Pumpkin Globe Sipper for $20.79. The entire sipper is shaped like a snow globe, which we don’t often see! Does Disneyland know that it’s not quite time for the holidays yet? Mickey Pumpkin Sipper The Mickey Pumpkin sits inside of the globe on a patch of “green grass.” The base of the sipper is orange and purple, with “Happy Halloween” and Halloween icons all over. Up Close! We’ve seen snow globe sippers at the Disney parks before, but they were usually for Christmas time rather than Halloween! Mickey Annual Passholder Snow Globe Sipper | 202- You can find the pumpkin snow globe sippers at various quick service restaurants around the parks in Disneyland Resort while supplies last.

It’s spooky season and Disney is celebrating with FOOD! ©Disney In Disney World, we’ve seen a ton of fun eats and treats, like a cookie with eyes and a hot dog with purple (!!) mustard. Halloween has also kicked off in Disneyland, where there are over 50 food items available for the holiday. Now, it’s time to come along with us to try out a NEW spooky snack! This is the NEW Sour Candy Churro from the Hollywood Churro Cart in Disney California Adventure park! It’s a sour sugar-dusted churro topped with sweet watermelon icing for $6.75. So, does this taste like the Halloween sour candy of our dreams or nightmares? Let’s find out! Here it is! This treat is definitely more sour than sweet, so if you’re expecting the opposite, beware! The sour sugar and sour watermelon icing make this taste like a Sour Patch Kids Watermelon Churro, according to our reporter. Yum! Sour candy lovers will adore this treat, but if you’re not a fan of sour, or watermelon-flavored, treats, you may want to skip this one. Overall, we enjoyed it, but we aren’t sure if it’s something we’d choose to get a second time. Look at all that icing! If you want to try out this churro for yourself, you can get it from now through November 10th. Grab it if you love sour treats! For more on Halloween in Disneyland, you check out some of the special merchandise we’ve seen recently, Mickey and Minnie’s new Halloween costumes, or take a look at the pumpkins that are now up in the parks!

We’re well into Labor Day Weekend, so where are the crowds? Cinderella Castle We were a bit surprised yesterday to see that the 3-day weekend crowds were missing. Following a chaotic and busy summer, we would’ve expected an equally-crowded holiday weekend. So, of course, we were pleased to be met with light crowds. But with Labor Day taking place tomorrow, as well as a sold-out Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there’s got to be more people in the resort today — right?! Well…it depends on where you go. We’ll start in Magic Kingdom. This is what Main Street, U.S.A. looked like this morning. Have we ever seen such an empty sight on a 3-day weekend? Main Street, U.S.A. How about our view of the Tomorrowland Bridge from the PeopleMover? Where is everyone?! Tomorrowland Bridge And there were some more guests over in Tomorrowland, but still — this is not what we’d expect on a 3-day weekend. A Bit More Crowded Over Here And walking into Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we were met with the same thing…minimal crowding. Light Crowds By The Entrance This continued inside of the park, even over by Harambe Theater. Over By Harambe Theater Although, we saw some more guests crowding over by Mombasa Marketplace. More Crowds Over Here We saw similar sights over in EPCOT. Entrance There were some light crowds over in the United Kingdom Pavilion… More Crowds In This Pavilion …while other areas, like the American Adventure pavilion, were much emptier. Funnel Cakes Booth So, as you can see, the parks aren’t crowded, but they’re not empty either. We’ll see what tomorrow brings (fingers crossed that crowds stay the same). And to plan for your next trip to Disney World, check out all of the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Booths. Or take a look at all of the sold-out dates for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. And, as always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news.

Halloween Time has officially started in Disneyland! It’s Halloween Time! That means we’ve been admiring all the Halloween decorations in the parks, eating a lot of new snacks, AND getting ready for the first Oogie Boogie Bash! We’re also keeping up with all the other new food and merchandise in Disneyland, so let’s get to some updates! Disneyland Food Updates New Orleans Square Churro Cart We’ll be honest. We weren’t sure about the Pistachio-Cherry Churro with Ghost Pepper Grape Sauce. It’s a Cinnamon Churro rolled in Pistacho and Sour Cherry Sugars with…we repeat…a ghost pepper grape sauce for dipping. Pistachio Cherry Churros The churros were very messy and the flavor wasn’t…well, great. But the dipping sauce? That was our favorite part! It’s available for $6.75. Read Our Full Review Here Red Rose Taverne ‘Tis the season for Pumpkin Cold Brew and we picked one up at Red Rose Taverne! It’s made with Pumpkin-flavored Cold Brew, Vanilla, and Spices topped with Whipped Cream for $6.29. Let’s just say it’s a good alternative to the traditional Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. Pumpkin Cold Brew The flavor is more pumpkin spice than pumpkin, though, so keep that in mind! Here’s Our Full Review Galactic Grill The Oktoberfest-inspired Burger has arrived for a limited time at Galactic Grill. It’s made with an Angus Beef Patty, Bratwurst, Grilled Peppers and Onions, Sauerkraut, and House-made Mustard Cheese on a Pretzel Bun. It’s served with your choice of Greek Yogurt or French Fries, and you can get one for $15.49. Oktoberfest-Inspired Burger Let’s just say we weren’t huge fans of this one and leave it at that. Read Our Full Review Tomorrowland Churro Cart Okay, so we grabbed a Pumpkin Spice Churro…for reasons! It’s a regular churro that’s been rolled in pumpkin spice-flavored sugar. You can also get it served with Brown Butter Cream Cheese dipping sauce! If that sounds good, well, we can confirm that yes, IT IS GOOD. Pumpkin Spice Churro There isn’t a BIG pumpkin flavor here (it’s mostly just the spices), but it goes so well with the dipping sauce! Grab one now for $5.75 — the dipping sauce is $1.50. Read Our Full Review Here! Sleeping Beauty Castle Churro Cart Wait…there are WAY more churros to talk about. We got TWO new churros at the Sleeping Beauty Castle Churro Cart. First, we had the Chocolate Cookie Crumble Churro, which is served with Creamy Peanut Butter Vanilla Dipping Sauce. But wait…because the sauce is GREEN. GREEN Peanut Butter?! We did up like the sauce, but the churro? Well, we never thought we’d say there’s something as TOO much chocolate flavor but here we are. The churro is $5.75 and the dipping sauce is $1.50. Read Our Full Review! Fantasyland Churro Cart Speaking of interesting dips, we grabbed ANOTHER churro and the Pumpkin Pie Dip for $1.50. So here’s the thing, if you love pumpkin, you will need to try this dip. It tastes pretty fresh and has a LOT of pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin Pie Dip If you don’t like pumpkin, though, it’s probably not going to be your thing. Read Our Full Review! Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour We found one of our FAVORITE Halloween treats at Gibson Girl. It’s the Rocky Road Halloween Sundae and it’s made with a Waffle Bowl that’s filled with Rocky Road Ice Cream, topped with Marshmallow Cream, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, and Sprinkles for $8.49.

Let’s just say OUR MOUTHS ARE STILL ON FIRE. But they are tasty! Ghost Pepper Nachos We also dug into the Chile-Ginger Pork Belly Sliders made with Chili-Ginger Glazed Crispy Pork Belly and Asian Slaw on Baguette Buns for $22. First, these aren’t really sliders, but a sandwich that’s been cut into three pieces. Okay, fine. The baguette was kind of tough to bite into, but the sauce is really good. Pork Belly Sliders!

See What New CUPCAKES Are Coming Soon to Disney World and Disneyland If you’re planning on visiting Disneyland for Halloween Time, you will need to know that all dates for the Oogie Boogie Bash are sold out. But you can still enjoy a lot of spooky fun in the parks, hotels, and resorts. Plus as you’ve seen, there are a LOT of delicious Halloween snacks to try, too! One thing you will need to keep in mind, though — before you book a Disney hotel for your Disneyland trip, be sure to check out your other options. That’s because there are a lot of cheaper hotels in the vicinity, some of which are closer to the parks than the Disney hotels! Want to Learn More About Disneyland? Check Out the Links Below!

We keep telling ya, Disney Springs is the place to be. Disney Springs Yeah, yeah — the parks are filled with rides, festivals, and parties. But Disney Springs holds its own unique offerings. You can grab some wild Ice Cream flavors, partake in a cocktail experience that changes weekly, or attend a Tequila tasting. And there are also limited-time offerings, like Raglan Road’s annual Labor Day Weekend celebration! We attended a media event for The Great Irish Hooley — take a look! From September 2nd through the 5th, you can celebrate Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant’s 10th Annual Great Irish Hooley Music Fest! The fest is filled with singing, dancing, entertainment, food, and drinks. It’s Time! But of course, we’re going to focus on the food and drinks! The Great Irish Hooley has 2 featured drinks and 5 featured dishes. Featured Menu Of course, we couldn’t just choose a few, so we tried every single featured item! We tried the It’s A Hell Of A Hooley! Cocktail, which has Minke Irish Vodka, muddled Raspberries, Lemon sour, Rosemary syrup, Fees Brothers Foam, and Wycliffe Champagne. Starting off strong This was super light and refreshing — the muddled raspberries and lemon sour gave the drink a tangy flavor. The raspberry flavor was also very natural and didn’t taste artificial at all. The Rosemary garnish was like the cherry on top. We could smell it as we drank the cocktail, which really boosted the flavor. YUM We also sipped on the De Fesht — Oktoberfest, which is a signature traditional style Marzen brewed exclusively for Raglan Road by The Tank Brewing in Miami. It’s a Medium-bodied amber lager, full-flavored and malty, with a dry finish and underlying notes of hazelnut and honey. The Can This was a very light drink with a full, malty flavor. It definitely tasted like October to us, courtesy of the underlying hazelnut and honey. With all of that said, the beer is sold out and will remain sold out until October. Nice Pour! We started our meal off with the Dalkey Duo, which are Dalkey Mustard Beer Battered Cheshire Heritage Pork Sausages, with Dalkey Mustard Mayonnaise, and Buffalo Applesauce. The sausages are a pretty good size, and are slightly spicy. Dalkey Duo Our reporter was worried that the mustard would be overpowering, but it only really had mustard seeds in the beer batter. The new addition of the Buffalo Applesauce was perfection! It was spicy and fruity, with a punch of apple. This has been on the menu before, so the only “new” thing about it is the Buffalo Applesauce. So good! We also got the Board of Beauty, which comes with an Irish Egg, Bacon & Cabbage Roll, Bang Bang’s Chicken, and Beef in Bed, all on one beautiful board to share. The Irish Egg is a hard-boiled egg that’s deep-fried with cranberries. It was sweet and salty, with a nice texture. The Bacon and Cabbage Egg Roll was delicious, and the star of the dish was the cabbage! It’s crunchy and salty, with a nice kick of meat from the Bacon. Entire Board The Bang Bang Chicken was a fun addition. We got a great kick of spice, so make sure you have your water ready! We could feel the spice lingering for quite some time after. Beef in Bed was our least favorite of the entire board. The beef had a pot roast flavor, so it didn’t taste like it belonged on the cornbread. But, with that being said, the bread was very tasty, and we would’ve happily eaten it by itself, too. The Plate We Made From The Board Next up was the Salmon Run. The dish comes with Roasted Atlantic Salmon filet on a Raglan signature Potato cake, roasted Broccolini, Spinach White Wine butter sauce & Confit Tomato. We enjoyed this one The Potato Cake was very crunchy, salty, and well-made. The Salmon was nicely-cooked and paired well with the White Wine butter sauce. And the Broccolini also had a great kick of salt. Salmon Run For dessert, we started with the It’s OK To Drool which is a Bread & Butter Pudding, French Toast Style, with vanilla Mascarpone, mixed berries, Macadamia Nut Crunch, and Crispy Maple Glazed Bacon. De-lic-ous. Bread Pudding The Bread Pudding was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like you expect from French Toast! The berries are super fresh and glazed in a berry sauce. The macadamia nuts provided a nice crunch, while the vanilla Mascarpone was sweet and fluffy. This was a winner! We DID Drool The I Crumble Inside dessert is an Apple and Blackberry Crumble with hidden custard inside. It’s served warm, topped with a hard crumble, and absolutely tasty! Crumbly Goodness It was oaty and the apple and blackberry mixed well together. Oh — and the custard? Soooo good! When we visited, this item was not yet on the menu, but servers confirmed it will be shortly! It’s messy, but we don’t mind! Overall, we really enjoyed this experience! The food was delicious and it’s different from your typically burgers or chicken fingers. Plus, it’s a fun way to see live music in Disney Springs. If you want to dig into these featured dishes and drinks, or take part in the festivities, the Great Irish Hooley will last through September 5th! And while you’re in Disney Springs, check out the new dish over at Homecomin’. Or take a look at the Tequila Tasting you can partake in. And, as always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!

Disney World is constantly changing! EPCOT Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in August! 1. Magic Kingdom Fireworks Updates Perhaps the BIGGEST surprise we got was a sudden extension to Disney Enchantment, the 50th Anniversary fireworks show at Magic Kingdom. A NEW section has now been added to the show right before the official start — and it features Walt Disney himself. It plays before the regular Enchantment fireworks officially begin. NEW projections! The new intro honors Disney World’s 50th Anniversary by taking a look at some of the individuals who made it all possible — Walt and Roy Disney. With videos of Walt and Roy and archival footage of the Walt Disney Company, the new segment adds a bit of history to the show. What a cool addition to the show! Click here to learn more about the additions! 2. Fantasmic News Now, we may have seen this one coming we just didn’t know WHEN it would happen. But, we’re SO excited to get the news that cast rehearsals have BEGUN for Fantasmic! in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Fantasmic! billboard This EXTREMELY popular nighttime spectacular hasn’t happened since before the 2020 park closures and has been announced as returning this year. We’re on the lookout for an opening date, but this news could mean that Fantasmic! may be back SOON. Want to learn more about the show? Click here! 3. Changes to Disney Park Pass System Another shock of the month came when Disney changed the way you book Disney Park Passes, the theme park reservations that are required along with admission to enter the parks. Now, the system lets you book for more than one ticket type at a time. So, you can now book Park Pass Reservations for both single-day tickets and Annual Passes together. ©Disney Another change that has been made is that you can now modify both your date and your park for your Park Pass Reservation WITHOUT canceling it first. There have been a number of other system changes to help with guest experience and you can learn about all of them here. Click here to learn more about the changes! These things really surprised us last month! As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates (and surprises!) from Disney World and beyond! Want to see the BIG changes coming to Disney World?

Halloween is around the corner, but it’s time to celebrate the spooky holiday now! Mickey Pumpkin If you’re headed to Disneyland, there are plenty of ways to celebrate. Not only can you attend Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure (if you snagged a ticket before it sold out), but there’s an interactive scavenger hunt, over 50 exclusive Halloween treats to try, and décor to explore around the resort. It’s now time to start trying those Halloween treats, so we’re headed to Disney California Adventure to try some new treats! If you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, head to Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream! There you will find some new treats for the Halloween season, so let’s check them out! First up, you can grab the Cereal Sundae. This is made with vanilla and strawberry ice cream, berry compote, mixed cereal, and whipped cream served in a waffle cup and topped with fruity cereal. Yum Yeah, so…this thing isn’t as vibrant and exciting as we had expected. The cereal part of the sundae is basically just a ring of fruity pebbles by the cone. This one fell flat for us, to be honest. But maybe it’s just the sundae we received — your own might be the sundae of your dreams! If you want to give it a try, you can grab it for $9.15. Cereal Sundae For adults 21 and over, there’s a new boozy treat to try! Introducing the Pumpkin Pie Hard Float. The float is made with hard pumpkin chai cider, vanilla ice cream, and a spiced pie crust cookie. We LOVED This! To be completely transparent: we went in with low expectations. But wow, were we wrong! This drink was smooth and balanced, with a great punch of spice. The ice cream added sweetness, with some fall vibes — courtesy of the vanilla. The pumpkin pie crust cookie was just a plain puff pastry cut in a pumpkin shape. But overall, this drink is a winner! A must-try If you want to try the hard float, it’ll cost you $16.70. Both of these treats are available through November 10th. You can also find a new Chocolate Brownie Sundae and a new Hard Apple Float if you aren’t a huge pumpkin fan! If you want to see the full list of Halloween treats you can try at Disneyland, click here. We’ll be at the first night of Oogie Boogie Bash on September 6th, so be sure to check back with us then for all of the coverage from the Halloween event! In the meantime, you can check out our complete guide to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World. We’ll continue trying Halloween treats around Disneyland, so stay tuned for more reviews! A Word of WARNING Before You Plan Your 2028 Disneyland Trip Want to Learn More About Disneyland?
