Are These a Must-Get For You? According to our DFB reporter, the ears are comfy-ish. They shared that the ears might not be a pair most people will be able to wear all day though because they are quite tight at the top of the head and behind the ears.

September is usually a great time to visit Disney World. Because teachers and kids are back in school and the holidays are right around the corner, it’s usually a quieter time in the parks with lower ride wait times. But if you’re getting ready for a September trip, make sure you know ahead of time what’s going to be CLOSED in the Disney World parks! Magic Kingdom We’ve got a full list of the attraction, restaurant, park, and hotel closures in Disney World for the month of September so that you can be prepared before you get to the parks. Take a look here. Magic Kingdom Liberty Square Riverboat This is one of the shortest closures in September — the Liberty Square Riverboat will only be closed on September 1st! It’s scheduled to reopen on the 2nd. Liberty Square Riverboat This boat ride takes visitors on a tour of the Rivers of America via a steam-powered paddle wheeler. Walt Disney World Railroad Unlike the riverboat, the Walt Disney World Railroad has no reopening date in sight. This attraction has been closed for YEARS now, but Disney hasn’t given any updates about when it might return. Walt Disney World Railroad Main Street Station Although we’ve seen some engine testing and Cast Member training, it’s possible that the Railroad won’t reopen until construction wraps up on the TRON: Lightcycle Run coaster. That construction has interrupted the tracks over in Tomorrowland, so the train can’t currently run through that area. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. is the Space Mountain gift shop, and people usually exit the ride through this shop. Currently, visitors are being asked to exit a different way, though, as Light & Power Co. is closed. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. The TRON: Lightcycle Run construction has taken over this spot as well, although that isn’t the only reason for the closure. During our last visit to Tomorrowland, we saw from the PeopleMover that the gift shop has been cleared out, apparently for some refurbishments. Completely Gutted It’s currently scheduled to be closed through November 5th, 2022, although that date could be moved. Enchanted Tales with Belle Enchanted Tales with Belle still doesn’t have a reopening date in Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. Enchanted Tales with Belle If you want to see Belle in this park, you can usually find her at the beginning of the Festival of Fantasy Parade, which runs through Magic Kingdom each day. Check the My Disney Experience app to see the parade times when you’re in the park. Festival of Fantasy Parade And remember that you can also find the Beauty and the Beast stage show in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Pete’s Silly Sideshow Pete’s Silly Sideshow is a character meet-and-greet spot that usually has friends like Daisy, Goofy, Donald, and Minnie. It’s still closed for now, although we’re expecting it to reopen any day now. Pete’s Silly Sideshow A while back, Disney announced that it would reopen sometime “in the coming months.” There’s not a specific reopening date yet, but we’re watching carefully for any updates. Meet Ariel at Her Grotto You can usually meet Ariel at this meet-and-greet spot, located near Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid. However, this meet-and-greet is currently closed and Disney hasn’t said when it could reopen. Ariel’s Grotto The Under the Sea attraction is still open, though! Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid Remember that Magic Kingdom will close early on certain days in September due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. On September 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, and 30th, the park will close at 6PM. The Disney Enchantment fireworks show will not happen on those days. See what’s CHANGED at the PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom. Disney’s Animal Kingdom In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there’s only one closure to report for September. The Feathered Friends in Flight show will be closed from September 11th through September 24th. Feathered Friends in Flight This show is where Cast Members teach the audience all about birds, with special appearances from a lot of the park’s feathered friends. During its closure, you can still catch other shows around the park, like Festival of the Lion King or Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond. Find out how you should spend your money in Animal Kingdom. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Voyage of the Little Mermaid The Little Mermaid attractions are just having a rough time in Disney World apparently! This show is still closed in Hollywood Studios, and Disney hasn’t announced when or if it will return. Voyage of the Little Mermaid We’ll continue to watch for more updates about the show. Fantasmic! Although Fantasmic! is still closed, we at least know that this nighttime show is going to reopen sometime in 2022. The end of the year is quickly approaching, so we’re hoping this show will be back soon. Fantasmic! When it does return, the show will look a little bit different with new characters, stunts, and effects. One Hollywood Studios spot FINALLY reopened after a long closure. EPCOT Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360 The Canada Far & Wide theater is currently being used by the Appleseed Orchard Food & Wine Festival booth. Instead of a movie about the natural beauty of Canada, right now you’ll find an apple crumble tart and a variety of apple-flavored drinks at this location. 2022 Appleseed Orchard Festival Booth The movie will likely be missing for all of September, as we’re expecting it to return after November 19th, which is when the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival ends. Find out about quiet price INCREASES at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Disney World Hotels Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort At Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Kona Café is temporarily closed. The restaurant is going to reopen sometime in fall 2022 with “an enhanced table-service experience.” We don’t have a specific reopening date yet, so it could reopen this month. We’ll be sure to keep you updated. Kona Cafe is closed Although the restaurant is closed, you can still use the My Disney Experience app to Mobile Order breakfast, lunch, and dinner from Kona Café To-Go, with pickup right next to Kona Island. Disney World Water Parks Blizzard Beach Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is still closed right now, and it has been for almost all of 2022. However, guests can still visit Typhoon Lagoon — Disney World’s other water park. Blizzard Beach If you want to learn more about what’s going on in Blizzard Beach, check out our recent update here! Find out more about the Blizzard Beach refurbishment here! Although these things will all be unavailable for at least part of September, there’s a lot of other stuff going on in the parks. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is happening on some nights in Magic Kingdom (although the September party dates are almost sold out), character dining is returning to ‘Ohana and Crystal Palace, and a new scavenger hunt is coming to EPCOT. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party Before you begin your vacation, make sure you have your Park Pass Reservations all set up — these reservations can and do fill up. We’ve also got a list of some of the highest-rated travel items on Amazon to help you get ready for your trip.

Is it too early for Christmas? (We think no) Christmas on Main Street While we’re still months away from Christmas, it seems Disney is already preparing! Holidays are currently happening in Disney with new merchandise, food, and events for Halloween so it doesn’t feel that weird to be in the celebratory spirit but it seems Disney+ is even further ahead. Today, Deadline announced that Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Lil Rel Howery, and Teyhonah Parris will be starring in a new Disney+ holiday comedy. The movie will be called Dashing Through The Snow and it’s currently in production in Atlanta. ©Disney and Getty The comedy is about a divorced social worker who works for the Atlanta police department and hates Christmas because of a painful childhood memory. When the worker is sent to work while spending Christmas Eve with his daughter, he accidentally enrages a local politician but also meets a man who helps him understand the joy and magic of Christmas. The movie is supposed to debut on Disney+ the next holiday season. Disney+ has currently been the talk of the town with Disney+ Day 2022 coming up in September. Disney+ Day Cavalcade Disney+ Day previously took place in November on the anniversary of Disney+. This year, the day is slated for September 8th. Viewers can expect lots of fun surprises this year with movies like Pinocchio debuting and shows like Cars on the Road also coming out.

Disney World Cast Members are known for their exceptional customer service, helpfulness, and even their creativity! Disney World Cast Members! We’ve seen Cast Members draw Disney characters on the ground with water, make shapes out of salt and pepper packets at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, and more. When we were in Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday, we stopped by Tower Hotel Gifts, the gift shop at the end of Tower of Terror, and saw a new bellhop — just not in the way you’re thinking. When we walked into the gift shop, we were greeted by the store’s newest employee. It would seem that Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas has set her sights on a new career as a bellhop at The Hollywood Tower Hotel. Sally has a new job! Cast Member John had taken one of the Sally plush toys available at the store and made her look the part of a Cast Member. Sally has a name tag made to look like the iconic Disney Cast Member name tags that has her name and where she’s from (Halloween Town, of course). She has her own name tag and everything! She also got her very own Hollywood Tower Hotel bellhop hat! Do you think she can show us the way to our room? Can you show us the way to our room, please? We love seeing the things that Cast Members come up with at Disney World, and we’ve even seen them do something similar at Mission: SPACE Cargo Bay at EPCOT with Porg plushes! Porg Cast Member If you’re interested in becoming a Disney World Cast Member (and are an eligible college student), then applications are now open for the Disney College Program — a program where you can work for Disney World and potentially earn some college credit while you’re at it. And, if you’re interested in even more unique Cast Member interactions, check out the Disney World restaurants with the best Cast Members!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Its spooky season, folks, and there are SO many ways to celebrate! We’re ready for spooky season! Disney World has pumpkins lining the streets and a ton of festivities going on for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disneyland is about to kick off Oogie Boogie Bash soon, and we’ve see a TON of Halloween merch online. But, if you can’t make it to the Disney parks this season and would rather celebrate in Disney style near home, there are ways to do that, too! In fact, we found a cereal at Target that should give you all the spooky vibes — come along with us to try it out! This is the Hocus Pocus 2 cereal from Kellogg’s! It’s out for Halloween and to promote the upcoming release of the movie, Hocus Pocus 2 (which will be on Disney+ on September 30th!). It’s here! We found the family size at our local target for $4.79. We found it on an end cap The flavor is called “Berry Brew” and is limited edition, so you know we had to get it to test it out for ourselves! We’re ready to test it out The Sanderson Sisters are on both sides of the box, and they’re in the same style that we’ve seen on other Disney merchandise that we’ve found in the parks, like these drinking glasses. Same design! Let’s open this thing up and give it a try! Let’s taste it! When we opened up the box, we were immediately smacked in the face with the strong smell of berries. It definitely smells fruity! It has a strong scent! The cereal is shaped like little stars and appear to have somewhat of a frosted coating. It’s also in the colors of the Sanderson Sisters’ hair — Orange, Purple, and Yellow. Halloween bowl not included There are all these little green specks on the cereal pieces to add to the Halloween vibes! Check out those shapes! But, enough about how it looks — we wanna know how it tastes! We tasted it without any milk at first, and it was pretty sweet and sugary, as to be expected from a cereal like this. The colors sure are fun! The cereal is super crunchy and has a strong berry flavor. We tasted the pieces individually as well and they all seem to be the same flavor, which is a generic berry. Do you think you’d like this? It actually reminded us a bit of Froot Loops cereal! Fruity! We poured in some milk next to see if that enhanced or changed the flavor at all, and it actually did! Once the cereal was sitting in the milk for a few seconds, it tasted way less sweet. We promise there’s milk in there! In fact, eating it with milk was pretty well balanced and we didn’t feel like this was overly sweet at all. Add some milk to cut that sugar! Do note that we did eat this with unsweetened almond milk, so that could’ve contributed to the balance of flavors compared to a regular milk that also has some sugar in it. Don’t wait too long! The cereal does lose its crunch kind of quickly though, so we wouldn’t let it hang out in the milk for a long time before you eat it if you want to maintain that texture! Very tasty It also didn’t change the color of our milk at all, so if you’re hoping for some delicious berry-flavored milk after you’re done eating the cereal, you might be out of luck. Don’t wait too long! Overall, this was surprisingly delicious. We really expected it to just be a big bowl of sugar, but the milk made it way more balanced. Don’t get us wrong, though — it was still sweet! It just wasn’t overwhelming or anything. If you’re a Hocus Pocus fan and like berry flavors, as well as cereal that’s a bit on the sweeter side, you will probably enjoy this! But, if you’re not one for berry flavors or cereal that is sweet, we’d recommend you skip this one. We recommend! And, if you want to try this cereal out for yourself, you can get it over on Target’s website! Check it out right here. Click here to get this cereal for yourself! If you’re gearing up for the premiere of Hocus Pocus 2, there are a few ways to get ready — you can check out some fun Hocus Pocus T-shirt, a new Hocus Pocus photo op in Disney World, and find out how Disney is celebrating the release of Hocus Pocus 2!

Are you looking for something special in a hidden place in Disney World? Disney Springs Disney Springs is constantly surprising us with fun new merchandise, food, and events. Now, we found something new coming next month but it’s in a secret hideaway! In September, Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar at Disney Springs is continuing its monthly Smuggler’s Series. This monthly series is where fans of specialty beer, wine, and cocktails can get together to enjoy fun foods and drinks while learning more about different spirits each month. This month, the special spirit is Malfy Gin. ©Enzo’s Hideaway The monthly event will take place on September 7th from 5PM to 7PM and tickets are required. Tickets cost $89 per guest and can be purchased here. While we do think that ticket is priced on the higher side, it’s important to know each ticket comes with 4 courses that each feature a dish and a cocktail featuring Malfy Gin. So, that makes the price make much more sense! Maria & Enzo’s Area The first course is made up of house-made focaccia with ricotta and lemon coriander marmellata, which is essentially just a fruit jam. The drink paired with the first course is an Amalfi 75 made with, of course, Malfy Gin con Limone, Lemon, and Prosecco. Enzo’s Hideaway in Disney Springs The second course is a pancetta-wrapped blue prawn with butter lettuce, blood orange, fennel, and extra virgin olive oil. (YUM!) The drink with this course is a Blood Orange Negroni created with Malfy Arancia Rossa Gin, Campri, and Sweet Vermouth. Heading into Enzo’s! The third course is Waygu Bresaola with arugula, grana padano, lemon, and extra virgin olive oil, and a Gin Con Acqua Tonica drink. The drink is made up of (you guessed it) Malfy Gin, St. Germain Elderflower, Carpano Antica, tonic, and rosemary. We are getting so hungry over here. Inside Enzo’s Hideaway and Tunnel Bar Finally, the last course is a dessert strawberry and limone sorbetto and a neat pour of Malfy Gin Con Limone. Spots for this event are limited so grab your tickets soon! Remember, DFB will keep you updated on all fun food and events throughout all of Disney World so keep following along here.

Disney World rides are changing all the time — sometimes it’s a major overhaul (like The Great Movie Ride becoming Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway), and sometimes it’s just small updates and general refurbishments. Tomorrowland Recently, we spotted some updates at a Magic Kingdom attraction, but you’ll have to be a Disney EXPERT to notice what’s different! Come along with us to ride the Carousel of Progress and see what’s new here. Earlier this year, the Carousel of Progress saw some BIG changes to the finale scene. New costumes and props were added to make it look more modern, and the changes were very noticeable if you ride this attraction often. Carousel of Progress This time, however, the changes are a bit more subtle. Let’s take a look at the scene where John is sitting in the kitchen with Rover. John In this scene, John’s jacket looks like it’s been spruced up a bit, with the pattern on the lapels being more crisp. There are some new props around him as well, such as a pot of roses on the table. Here’s a look at the old scene — see if you can spot the changes! Here’s the old scene Also, there were some decorations added above the kitchen window — a string of red and pink hearts. Many of the scenes are decorated with holiday decor to show what time of year it is, so this scene must take place around Valentine’s Day. Hearts In another kitchen scene with John and Rover, the holiday decorations again got some updates. A couple of new decorations were added or moved, including a jack-o-lantern behind the booth and a black cat on the wall. Kitchen Scene Also, the decorations above the fridge were moved around, and a cornucopia was added to the mix. More paper decor was added over the kitchen window — this time they were orange and black bats. New decorations Here’s a look at the old scene so you can check out what’s changed! Here’s the old scene — can you tell the difference? Finally, a couple of very subtle changes came to the scene where Uncle Orville is reading the paper in the bathtub. A few of the props on the counter behind him have been updated, and the towels hanging on the rack are different as well. Uncle Orville These changes are more proof that Disney is constantly changing — Cast Members are busy night and day updating attractions and working on new ones as well. Not too far from Carousel of Progress, you’ll find the construction site for the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster. We’ve spotted lots of testing going on for this ride, so we’re hoping to hear an opening date soon! Testing AGAIN!
