However, Disney+ will be bringing even more original content to its service soon in the form of a classic story, King Kong! According to Deadline, the classic story of King Kong is coming to Disney+ as a new live-action series. This would be the first series set in the King Kong universe, although there have been quite a few movies. The series is being written by Stephany Folsom (Paper Girls) and will be a serial drama returning to Skull Island in the modern age to meet a new version of Kong. ©Universal The series will take inspiration from the original Merian C. Cooper books, as well as from the new novels by Joe DeVito. It will explore Kong’s origin story, as well as explore the mysteries of Skull Island. Folsom, James Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster, along with Dannie Festa and Marc Manus for world Builder Entertainment will executive produce. ©Universal If you’re looking for even more to watch on Disney+, here’s everything that’s landed on the service in August and everything you can expect in September.

Disney cruises have been a very popular vacation option lately! Disney Wish docked at Castaway Cay With Disney Cruise Line back in operation after a long pandemic-related closure and the introduction of the new Disney Wish, there are a lot of reasons to set sail! But if you’re packing your bag for an upcoming voyage, there are some things that you’ll need to leave at home. We’re sharing the full list of things that you CANNOT bring on a Disney cruise! Weapons Let’s start out this list with the obvious one — weapons. There’s a long list of prohibited items that fit into this category, including firearms, daggers, swords, knives, and ammunition. Guests are also prohibited from bringing restraining devices and offensive weapons, hand and leg cuffs, pepper spray, tasers, and stun guns. Scissors with blades exceeding four inches in length are not allowed. Castaway Cay Air, BB, pellet, paintball pistols, rifles, and slingshots are not allowed, and you’ll need to leave any firearm replicas at home, including non-firing, imitations, toys, and their components. The exceptions to this rule include store-bought lightsabers, plastic toy “pirate” swords, and plastic store-bought toy “Mjolnir” hammers (Thor’s hammer). Rey’s Lightsaber Along this same line, explosives are not allowed. Explosives components and accessories, including ammunition, detonators, fireworks, pyrotechnics, and flares cannot be brought onboard. Highly flammable liquids and combustible substances, including liquid oxygen, are also not permissible. Diving Equipment and Aquatic Items If you’re sailing out to sea, you might want to bring some of your beach favorites with you, but there are limits to which items you can pack. Certain diving equipment is on the no-go list, including air tanks, spears, spear guns, slings, dive knives, pry bars, and underwater scooters. Disney Dream Other aquatic items you can’t bring on a Disney cruise include boogie boards, inflatable floats, inflatable pools, pool noodles, rafts, surfboards, and wave boards. Electrical Appliances You might not realize it, but there’s a long list of electrical appliances that Disney doesn’t allow on its cruise ships. This includes blenders, bottle sterilizers and warmers (A limited number of approved bottle warmers and bottle sterilizers are available upon request through Guest Services.), coffee makers, diffusers, electric blankets, and electric irons and steamers (all ships offer self-service laundry areas with irons and ironing boards). Disney Magic You also can’t pack extension cords, power strips, surge protectors, heating pads, hot plates, microwaves, rice cookers, and light bulb strings. However, the following things ARE allowed: Curling irons Flat irons Hair dryers (all ships offer a hand-held hair dryer in each stateroom) Shavers The following electrical appliances will be collected for inspection by the Chief Electrician and if approved, will be returned for use onboard the ship. Baby Monitors Humidifiers Portable fans White Noise/Sleep Machine Sporting Equipment While there are plenty of options for playing sports onboard some of these ships, some sporting equipment is not allowed for guests to bring along. Archery equipment, baseball and cricket bats, fishing gear, hammocks, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, pool cues, and ski poles must all be left at home. Castaway Cay Guests MAY bring golf clubs onboard if they keep them stored in their stateroom, and baseballs, basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, and volleyballs may be stored in the stateroom and used only off the ship at ports of call. Disney Dream Following along with the sporting equipment, we also have to mention a few other items that aren’t allowed, including footwear with wheels, bicycles, hoverboards, inline skates, roller skates, scooters, segways, skateboards, and wagons that can’t be collapsed. Electronics and Communication Devices While cell phones and tablets are welcome onboard cruise ships (and even encouraged in this day and age of heavy photo-taking!), there are some electronics you can’t bring. Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), communication scanners, and wide band receivers will need to stay at home. Disney Wish Guests also aren’t allowed to have ham radios, metal detectors, or streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, Google Chromecast, etc. on the ship. Also, don’t pack certain remote-controlled devices including airplanes, drones, helicopters, and other toy vehicles. Drugs Another one that’s likely a little more obvious is drugs. Guests are not allowed to bring hookah pipes with them on the ships, and illegal narcotics/drugs, including synthetic, designer drugs and medically prescribed marijuana are all prohibited. Mickey and Minnie on the Wish! You also can’t bring drug paraphernalia, including items used for marijuana, cannabis, and hemp onboard. Pets Pets are not allowed on any Disney cruise ship, with the exception of service animals. According to the Disney Cruise Line website, “Trained service animals are welcome in most locations on board Disney Cruise ships. All service animals must remain on a leash and under your control, or that of someone in your travel party, at all times.” Disney Wish It’s also important to note that guests are responsible for the care and feeding of their animals throughout the duration of the cruise. Miscellaneous Items But what about those prohibited items that don’t fit into any of the above categories? Well, here’s a full list of other things you can’t bring when you set sail: Balloons and kites Candles and Incense Lasers Alcoholic beverages Flowers Inflatable Mattresses Musical Instruments Over-the-door organizers Power tools, hand tools, and toolboxes (except those utilized by vendors providing services) Any cooler or ice chest larger than 12” x 12” x 12”. Coolers that meet the size requirements must be brought on as carry-on luggage. Sweet Nightingale on the Disney Wish Wow, what a list! Make sure to read over this and double-check it before you set sail, just in case. Most of the items are self-explanatory, but on the off chance that you’re carrying a bouquet of flowers and an over-the-door organizer in your bag, we’d hate for you to get in trouble with security!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Picture this — you’ve spent months planning the perfect vacation and it’s finally time to go! Orlando International Airport You get to the airport, you’re excited, and…you realize your bag is way over your airline’s weight limit. After getting charged an extra $100 for checking a heavy bag, you go get in the security line when you find out you lost your ID! Now, you get a notification that your flight is delayed 3 hours and you are going to miss your connecting flight. What do you do now? Okay, even if you have bad luck it’s very unlikely that all of these things will happen to you in one day, but these are some of the catastrophic events that can really impact your vacation. So, let’s take a look at the BIGGEST travel mistakes you can make and what to do if they happen to you! 1. Forgetting ID Before Your Flight Sometimes things go missing when you travel and unfortunately this includes your ID. To get through security at the airport, you must have a valid form of identification (see a full list here) so that TSA agents can verify who you are. So forgetting or losing your ID on the day you’re trying to fly can seem catastrophic to your plans, but it doesn’t HAVE to be. Orlando International Airport Now, this isn’t the easiest process, however it is likely that you will still be able to fly without your ID in these circumstances. According to the TSA website, “the TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process which includes collecting information such as your name, current address, and other personal information to confirm your identity.” After that process, if your identity is confirmed, you can enter a screening checkpoint which may include additional steps like a putdown or an in-depth screening of carry-on items. Orlando Airport TSA Line If your identity is verified through this process, you should have no issues getting on your flight. If you already know you lost your ID before you get to the airport, make sure you get there very early so there is plenty of time for TSA to verify your identity. TSA specifically recommends arriving at least 2 hours before your flight. Thousands of flights have been canceled in recent months You will not be allowed to move on to the screening checkpoint if TSA cannot confirm your identity, you do not provide the proper information, or you do not want to participate in the identity verification process. New TSA PreCheck Initiative Could Help You Skip Long Lines at the Orlando Airport 2. Forgetting Your Passport Before a Cruise Chances are if you’re going on a cruise, you know you need a passport to board the ship. However, things happen and things get forgotten, but is there a solution to getting on a cruise ship without a passport? The Disney Wish Cruise Ship This is one of the toughest travel mistakes to solve but it is doable. If you travel to the destination the cruise in leaving from a few days before the cruise sets sail, one thing you can do is have a family member or friend at home ship your passport overnight to you. Sure, it will cost a decent amount of money, but at least you will have your passport. Disney Wish Cruise Ship Other than that, there is not much you can control in this situation. You can work with your cruise line to explain the situation and see if there’s anything they can do for you. Keep a picture of your passport and birth certificate on your phone and your cruise line might be able to get you on the ship, but again, this up to the discretion of the cruise representative you are working with. On top of taking pictures, it’s a good idea to make color copies of the photo page of your passport and your birth certificate just to have in case of emergency. We Cruised the Disney Wish. Here are 6 Things We’re Definitely Packing Next Time. 3. Not Checking Your Cell Phone Plan If you’re going on a cruise or other international trip, this next mistake could affect you. Before you go, take a moment check your cell phone plan! For those of us who want to stay connected to home or the world while on vacation, this is a super important step to make sure you aren’t getting charged a lot of extra money — vacation is already expensive enough! Check your phone plan When not already included in a plan, the costs for roaming and international calls vary by cell provider, but tend to be very pricey. Check which plan you have with your provider and explore any additional costs you may incur on your trip. Depending on how much you want to use these features, you might want to temporarily change your plan. What to Do When Your Phone Dies in Disney World 4. Not Packing Essentials in a Carry-On Bag In case you haven’t noticed, flying has been a hassle lately. On top of thousands of cancelations around the country, bags are being mishandled more than ever across airlines right now. That means more lost or damaged luggage that YOU have to deal with — which makes where you pack certain things even more important. New luggage system coming to Terminal C ©Click Orlando 6 If your checked luggage is lost, you don’t want to be stuck without your essentials. When packing make sure that the things you can’t live without make it into a carry-on bag. This is especially vital for people who need to take medication at a certain time every day, however here are a few other things we recommend packing in a carry-on in case of missing luggage: Essential medication/prescriptions A change of clothes Phone charger Passport/ID Money in some form (cash, credit card, etc.) ©ismagilov—Getty Images/iStockphoto Having these things with you at all times should ease some of the stress when it comes to dealing with lost or damaged luggage. If you’re looking for a great carry-on bag to use, check out the Asenlin Travel Backpack on Amazon. There are several different compartments in the bag and plenty of storage to pack everything for a quick trip. ©Amazon It’s currently on sale, too! It’ll cost you $49.48 instead of $79.99. Click here to check out the Asenlin Travel Backpack on Amazon 5. Not Booking Enough Time Between Flights As we mentioned above, there have been countless flight cancelations recently all over the world. This is for a number of reasons including pilot shortages and restricted airspace so it’s something you will want to keep in mind when booking flights. With all of the cancelations and delays, it is possible that you can miss your connecting flight, but you don’t have to if you set yourself up for success. ©Bill Montgomery/Houston Chronicle | Obtained Via SFGATE Sometimes things are 100% out of your control, but pay close attention to your layover time when booking flights. If you give yourself a short layover window, you’re more likely to miss your connecting flight. ©Getty Images Another option is to book a direct flight. Sometimes taking connecting flights can be much cheaper, but if you dig for some flight deals (which tend to pop-up all of the time), you’ll probably find an affordable nonstop flight option depending on the destination. Our Best Tips For Flying Through the Orlando International Airport 6. Not Checking Visa Requirements/COVID-19 Requirements When Traveling Internationally If you’re headed out of the country, remember that each country has their own specific visa and COVID-19 vaccination requirements for foreign visitors. The COVID-19 pandemic is still affecting people around the world — we’ve spotted many travel destinations in the CDC high-risk category. Several destinations require that you are vaccinated against COVID-19 or require proof of a negative COVID-19 test. For a full list of COVID-19 travel requirements around the world, click here. COVID-19 Sign in Disney World Some countries do not require any sort of visa for vacationing tourists while others do require some sort of visa. You can see a full list of visa requirements by country here. ©Norse Atlantic Airways Make this a major part of planning your trip or you could risk not being allowed in the country you are trying to travel to. Updated: Current News and Information About Travel to Disney World and Disneyland in 2022 7. Forgetting to Notify Your Bank of Travel Plans There is almost nothing worse than when you walk up to pay for a snack or a souvenir on vacation and your card gets declined. Unlike some of the other mistakes on this list, this is an easy fix that you can take care of before your trip! ©Chase Although you may not have issues using your debit or credit card when you travel, it can’t hurt to call your bank and let them know you’ll be traveling out of town. That way when a charge pops up from across the country, the bank won’t even question it — you should have smooth sailing buying all of the fun things on your vacay. We’re Answering ALL of Your Disney Credit Card Questions 8. Overpacking Okay, okay, this might sound like a travel tip you hear all of the time, but overpacking can cost you some SERIOUS cash. While there are some airlines with free checked bags like Southwest Airlines, just about every major airlines has fees for bags over a certain weight limit. Southwest Disney Plane Below is a list of 7 major airlines and their fees for overweight bags: Southwest Airlines — $75 per bag weighing 50-100 pounds American Airlines — $100 per bag weighing 51-70 pounds, $200 per bag weighing 71-100 pounds JetBlue Airlines — $150 per bag weighing 51-100 pounds Delta Airlines — $100 per bag weighing 51-70 pounds, $200 per bag weighing 71-100 pounds United Airlines — $200 per bag weighing up to 70 pounds, $400 per bag weighing 71-100 pounds Spirit Airlines — $59 per bag weighing 41-50 pounds, $99 per bag weighing 51-100 pounds Frontier Airlines — $50 per bag weighing 41-50 pounds, $100 per bag weighing 51-100 pounds Be prepared for your next vacay So what can you do to make sure you won’t get charged an overweight luggage fee at the airport? We recommend using this Portable Luggage Scale from Amazon to weigh your luggage before getting to the airport. It’s an inexpensive and easy way to ensure you won’t have to pay extra to check your bags. ©Amazon This luggage scale is just $11.98. You simply hook a handle from your bag on the scale and lift to see the weight of the bag. Click here to buy the Luggage Scale on Amazon It’s very rare that a perfectly planned vacation goes…well, perfectly! But we hope these tips can help you roll with the punches.

Minnie ears come in all styles, colors, and price ranges. Lately, we’ve seen some beautiful floral ears for summer, shiny Princess Tiana ears, and exclusive Halloween ears in Disney World. Now there are some NEW ears in town, but these are on a whole other level. So many ears! Disney sometimes works with designers to create fancy new Minnie ears. BaubleBar, Loungefly, Ashley Eckstein, and Heidi Klum have all collaborated with Disney and brought specialty ears to the parks. The newest ears are a collaboration between Disney and fashion designer Vera Wang, and to say they’re luxurious would be the understatement of the century. Take a look! This isn’t the first time Disney has worked with Vera Wang to create a fashionable pair of Minnie ears. Remember these gorgeous ears? Vera Wang Ears The gem-studded ears with a big tulle bow cost a whopping $600, and based on the number of jewels on the new ears, we’re not expecting that price to go down for the new ones. Presenting the new Disney x Vera Wang Tiara Headband: Gorgeous Disney said, “Wang has raised the bar with this Black Velvet ear headband featuring a combination of pronged faceted glass crystals, acrylic crystals, and synthetic pearls hand-stitched onto the headband and ears.” Like the other ears designed by Wang, these have a big off-white organza bow, only this time that bow has crystals sewn onto it (we told you they’re next-level). So many crystals There’s a silver-plated tiara with more crystals, pearls, and beads, which brings the total number of glass crystals on this accessory to 442! While they might not be everyday ears, we think these would be gorgeous as an accessory for a wedding — if you’re a huge Disney fan, it could be the perfect Disney touch for your outfit. We found the new ears at Uptown Jewelers in Magic Kingdom for $600 — the same price as the previous Vera Wang Minnie ears. They don’t come cheap! About her new ears, Vera Wang said, “Here we go again! So thrilled to be launching our 2nd collaboration with Disney, our newest mouse ears and crown. As per our last outing, we hope you will enjoy these as well as we continue to celebrate all the joy, fun and sheer magic Disney represents.” ©Disney These new ears will be available TODAY in Disney World and Disneyland for $600. If you simply must have these gorgeous ears, here’s where you can get them: Uptown Jewelers at Magic Kingdom Creations Shop at EPCOT The Art of Disney at EPCOT Legends of Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Discovery Trading Company at Disney’s Animal Kingdom The Emporium at Disneyland Off the Page at Disneyland The Disney Dress Shop at Disneyland Avenue M Arcade at Shanghai Disneyland Club 33 at Shanghai Disneyland We’ll keep our eye out for these ears in the parks today and let you know when we’ve spotted them!

Let’s head into Disney Springs for a little while, shall we? We love Vivoli il Gelato! You can always count on lots of restaurants and shopping experiences in Disney Springs, and we love trying the new snacks that join the family. Unlike the theme parks, parking in Disney Springs is completely free (which we’re very grateful for), so we enjoy showing our appreciation whenever we can. If you feel the same, you should head over to try the parking garage-inspired drink at this popular Disney Springs spot! Head over to Vivoli il Gelato where you can grab The Garage drink! This drink features lime and orange sorbetto and grapefruit vodka soda topped with candied orange and lime. If you’re not a fan of citrusy drinks, this may not be your preferred drink, but we think it sounds delicious and worth a try! Vivoli il Gelato If this idea sounds familiar to you, you likely are remembering the Parking Garage Burgers we tried at D-Luxe Burger back in July for the Flavors of Florida event! We really enjoyed these burgers, and we’re excited to try this new drink. But we are still sitting here wondering why parking garages seem to be the latest food trend in Disney Springs?! Parking Garage Burgers! Right now, there is lots going on over at Disney Springs you won’t want to miss. We found a new Encanto spirit jersey fans can’t miss grabbing, three new items have been added to Wine Bar George’s menu, and you’ll want to make your Labor Day plans at Raglan Road so you don’t miss this returning event.

If you are obsessed with Mickey-shaped food, get ready to go on an ADVENTURE. Whether it’s waffles, savory snacks, or Mickey premium bars, Mickey-shaped food just tastes better, right?! Mickey Waffles You probably know about alllllllll of the Mickey-shaped snacks you can get in the regular spots — like the ones mentioned above or those iconic Mickey-shaped beignets — but if you’re looking for a seriously EPIC Mickey-shaped snack, you’re going to have to visit a very unexpected spot! Recently, a member of the DFB team went on an adventure that took them far, far away from the Most Magical Place on Earth and the Happiest Place on Earth. Nope, they weren’t anywhere in the U.S. And they weren’t at an international Disney park either. Nope, their travels took them to Seoul, South Korea! That’s where they found the most EPIC Disney snack. Allow us to introduce you to a little cafe called Come to Rest (@come.to.rest on Instagram). Come to Rest This little spot is located in Hoegi. Walking past it, you might not expect it to have a delicious and surprising Disney dessert inside, but does this spot have some SECRETS! There Are Disney Treats in Here — It’s Just a SECRET! If you walk inside, you’ll find an adorable cafe. Again, you’re probably thinking, “okay, I’ll come here and get some coffee, but where’s the Disney?!” Well, hold up just one second, we’re getting to it! Inside the Cafe You get a small taste of Disney through some of the vintage Disney posters hanging on the wall. Okay, These Are Adorable How fun are these?! We’re Starting to See the Disney Influence a Bit But it’s what’s on the menu that’ll really shock you. The menu has different kinds of coffee drinks, non-coffee offerings, and tea. But it’s the desserts we’re after! Menu Under the “today’s dessert” section, you’ll find an item with a Mickey symbol next to it. Okay, you have our attention! A Mickey?! What is this dessert you ask? It’s a Mickey Panna Cotta! It’s described on the menu (roughly translated) as a soft vanilla-flavored Italian milk pudding, and it costs 4500 won. Today that converts to $3.34 U.S. dollars, but that changes daily. Still, a Mickey-shaped snack for under $5? You’ve got our attention! We (of course) had to grab one, and its design did NOT disappoint. OH. MY. GOSH. UMMMMM hello? The dessert police called, they said this snack is so ridiculously adorable it is surely ILLEGAL! Our Spread Okay, okay. Let’s just take one more second to admire how absolutely PERFECT this thing is. It was so smooth and the mold used to get that Mickey face shape worked incredibly well. We were astounded! Gorgeous It was so adorable that we almost (keyword: ALMOST) felt too guilty to eat it. But in the name of science, we had to dig in! We Had To! Our DFB team member who tried it shared that they didn’t expect to like it. Oftentimes, snacks that are this cute simply focus too much on presentation and don’t deliver when it comes to flavor and texture. But this did NOT fall into that category. The treat was incredibly soft and creamy and delicious! That menu description of it being a soft vanilla-flavored Italian milk pudding was pretty accurate! It had a soft vanilla flavor that was sweet, but not overly so. Sorry, Mickey, We Had To! The brown syrup included wasn’t really described on the menu, but it was very light and had a sort of maple flavor to it, but it wasn’t super sticky like maple syrup. Instead, it was more watery in terms of the overall texture. Truly, this dessert was a win for us. It was amazing and just melts in your mouth. YUM Who would this dessert be perfect for? Well, a lot of people! Our DFB team member shared that they felt like it could be a great fit for everyone from a kid with a sweet tooth to a person who doesn’t love things that are overly sweet. It had just the right balance! Oh, and these beauties were VERY popular.

The monkeypox outbreak in the U.S. has caused concern for many, especially for those who are looking to travel soon but are not sure whether it’s safe. ©Facebook The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has declared the outbreak a public health emergency, and the government is working on getting more vaccines available throughout the country. The number of infected individuals has continued to rise, and now there have been cases of monkeypox reported in every state. According to ABC News, monkeypox has officially been detected in every state in the U.S. Wyoming was the last state to report a case, and they did so on Monday, August 22nd. A Wyoming Health Department officer stated, “Because monkeypox spreads through close, intimate contact we do not believe the risk for the virus is now a higher concern for the local community or for most people in Wyoming. Monkeypox does not spread easily like familiar viruses such as influenza or COVID-19.” ©CDC The monkeypox outbreak in the U.S. began in Massachusetts in mid-May. Since then, about 14,000 infections have been reported. Currently, New York has the most infections, followed by California and then Florida. The number of cases reported each day has grown significantly from “97 per day one month ago to more than 1,300 per day as of Aug. 10.” Although most cases have occurred among men who have sex with men, monkeypox is not considered a sexually transmitted disease because anyone can be infected by having close contact with someone who is infected. Monkeypox Symptoms ©Florida Department of Health The CDC says that most transmission has not occurred by touching the clothes or sheets of an infected person. If anyone has been exposed to monkeypox or thinks they may have been exposed, they can get the Jynneos vaccine (which has been approved by the FDA for smallpox and monkeypox). ©Getty Images via ABC News ClickOrlando reported that Florida has had over 1,500 cases of monkeypox in the state, with about 115 cases in Orange County. The state is following CDC guidelines to prioritize the vaccine for those who have been or may have been exposed to monkeypox. ©CDC The CDC advises the following to lower your risk of becoming infected: Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like monkeypox. Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with monkeypox. Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone with monkeypox. Avoid contact with objects and materials that a person with monkeypox has used. Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with monkeypox. Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels, or clothing of a person with monkeypox. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, especially before eating or touching your face and after you use the bathroom. Also, you should keep a fair perspective of the outbreak. Although there has been a definite increase in infections, there have been 0 deaths in the U.S. from Monkeypox so far as a result of the current outbreak, according to the CDC. We’ll continue to watch for more updates on the situation with monkeypox, especially as it relates to travel and Disney World. Keep following DFB for the latest news.

Just a few days ago, a simple AirTag a traveler placed in their luggage helped lead police to a criminal who had stolen over $16,000 worth of items from various bags he had taken from the airport! ©Heathrow While you (hopefully) won’t fall victim to luggage thieves, airlines mishandling luggage is another story. According to SITA, a firm that collects data on baggage handling, over 28 MILLION bags are mishandled annually, with 77% of that number covering delays and another 5% representing bags that are completely lost! You can help avoid these scenarios by tracking your suitcases with AirTags. AirTags communicate through Bluetooth with your phone or other Apple devices and interface with the Find My network. The AirTag sends out a signal to your nearby devices, and if you have an iPhone 11 or newer you can use Precision Finding to view the exact distance between you and your AirTag as well as in what direction it’s located. Apple AirTag Click here to buy the Apple AirTag! But how far does it reach? When operating on the Bluetooth network, AirTags show up on your device when you’re within a 33 foot radius. This may seem extremely limited, but it’s not the be all end all of its capabilities. If you are away from your AirTag and another iPhone user comes within that radius, it will alert your phone of its location. Plus, with the Find My network you can see the general location of your AirTag and once there the Bluetooth will take over to lead you directly to your lost item. AirTags in cases Don’t worry about any would-be thieves using this technology to their advantage- all of the information used to locate your AirTag is anonymous and encrypted. You will still have total privacy, even when someone else’s phone alerts you to its location. Purchase just one AirTag, or grab this pack of four if you have multiple suitcases you want to keep track of. AirTags 4 Pack Click here to buy the Apple AirTag 4 Pack! An AirTag can be extremely helpful when your bag is lost. Airports might not know exactly where your bag is or whether it made it onto your plane or not, and sometimes they can be mistaken. With an AirTag you can see where your suitcase is and avoid stress and confusion. There are a wide variety of holders available for AirTags, and many have clips or keychains to make it easy to attach them to your luggage. When you receive your new AirTag, just pair it to your phone and clip it to the item you want to track. It’s that easy! Belkin AirTag Case Click here to buy the Belkin AirTag Case!

By now you may have heard about a certain actor who doesn’t seem to age — aka the one and only Paul Rudd. ©Marvel From owning a candy store (!!) to playing Josh in Clueless to countless Judd Apatow films and, of course, his role as Scott Lang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Ant-Man series, Paul Rudd has made his way into our hearts — and now a series on Hulu! SPOILER ALERT! Do not read on if you want to be surprised about the Only Murders in the Building Season 2 finale! The new series Only Murders in the Building has been a big hit on Hulu, starring the iconic trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez in a mystery-filled apartment building (and beyond). Season two just concluded with its finale, with a surprising star making an appearance. ©Hulu That’s right, it was Paul Rudd! According to Deadline, this isn’t just a one-time appearance, because Paul Rudd has already signed on to appear in Season 3. Series co-creator John Hoffman shared that they were questioning how a major movie star could appear on the show once, especially considering the nature of his role in the finale. Hoffman said, “We need to have time with him; would he come back and play with us in Season 3? God love Paul Rudd because he immediately said yes.” ©Hulu If you’re looking for more to watch on Hulu, four new cooking shows are making their way to the streaming platform soon, and you may also want to review how your Hulu and Disney+ bundle may change if you opt for the upcoming Disney+ ad-supported subscription. ©Hulu Only Murders in the Building was renewed by Hulu for a third season in July 2022, so we’ll be watching closely for the Season 3 premiere date.

With over 200 places to eat in Disney World, it can be a bit tricky to figure out where you want to grab a meal! Look at all that FOOD! There definitely are a lot of options, from your traditional theme park food to stuff that’s completely outside of the box. But, sometimes TOO many options can be overwhelming. So, that’s why we’re here! We’ve tried out ALL of the restaurants in Disney World so we can tell you which places are worth your time and money. So, let’s talk about the BEST value quick-service restaurants in Disney World for 2023! First of all, what is a quick-service restaurant? This term might be unfamiliar to you, which is totally okay! We’re here to help. Quick-service spots are places where you generally order at the counter and then bring your food to a table yourself. You’ll also see it being called counter-service in some instances. These are not spots where you are waited on, like you would be at a table-service restaurant — think of it as fast food! They’re typically more casual and less expensive. Spread at Connections Cafe in EPCOT Also, keep in mind that the Disney Dining Plan has STILL not returned to Disney World. So, there is no option to pre-pay for your meals right now. Disney has said that the Dining Plan will be returning in the future, they just haven’t announced when that will happen. We don’t mess around when it comes to Disney food! There are a BUNCH of quick-service spots around Disney World, but which are the best bang for your buck? We’re here to tell you! Let’s break it down. Magic Kingdom Casey’s Corner Casey’s Corner is a Magic Kingdom staple! It’s located on Main Street, U.S.A. and has a beautiful view of Cinderella Castle. This place serves pretty standard theme park food — hot dogs and fries! You can get chili-cheese loaded hot dogs or fries, and they even have plant-based options. This spot also has one of our absolute favorite meals — corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese! Yum! You can get a foot-long hot dog for $11.99 and it’s served with fries, which is a lot of food! All of the entrees are between about $9.50-$14 and come with a side or fries or a cuties mandarin orange. You can also get snacks like chili-cheese french fries for $6.49, which are pretty filling! Plus a plant based option! This is a hearty meal that you can grab while sitting in front of Cinderella Castle and enjoying the view that won’t break the bank (at least, by Disney standards!). The foot-long hot dogs are also definitely big enough to share with someone in your group. Click here to see our latest review of Casey’s Corner! Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe is located in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom and serves Mexican-inspired cuisine. Entrees range in price here from $9.99 to $15.49 (with one exception being the special 50th anniversary meal that costs $19.71 — get it?). These plates are pretty loaded, like the chicken rice bowl that has rice, chicken, peppers, onions, black beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, AND salsa. Group Shot! You can also find some cheeseburgers here, as well as a trio of tacos, or some nachos. A lot of these entrees are great to share as well!

You can get a giant Mickey-shaped waffle with strawberries and powdered sugar for $7.49, or go for the fresh fruit waffle sandwich for $8.49, which has strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella!). Fresh Fruit Waffle There’s also some more savory items, like the fan-favorite sweet-and-spicy chicken-waffle sandwich for $11.29.

Click here to see more about that fresh fruit waffle sandwich! Columbia Harbour House Columbia Harbour House is a popular seafood spot located in Liberty Square. Entrees run between $10.29 and $16.99, but that $16.99 entree is a large Lobster Roll served with French Fries!

There are also some sandwiches here that range from $6.99 to $7.99, or you can make it a combo for $12.49 which comes with fries and a drink. A chicken sandwich in Disney World for $7? That’s pretty great! Lots of flavors! The sides here a hefty too, so they can make a great snack, like the Mac Daddy Mac ’N’ Cheese for $4.49 or the Loaded Fries for $7.99. Click here to see our most recent review of Chicken Guy! We also need to talk about Mobile Order! Mobile Order is a way to place and pay for your order ahead of time at many quick-service restaurants around Disney World. You do this through the My Disney Experience app and it can help you skip those long lines you might have to wait in to order food! Mobile Ordering pick-up stations You just pick the restaurant and then pick a time slot that works for you. Once you’re at the restaurant during your time slot, you tap the “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” button and you’ll get an alert when your food is ready! Then, you just pick it up at the order window it indicates, which will let you skip the normal ordering line. Make sure you’re a Mobile Order pro before arriving at Disney World! However, do note that Mobile Ordering isn’t ALWAYS faster and it has to be used properly. Sometime, a lot of Mobile Orders can stack up and you can be waiting in line for a long time to pick up your Mobile Order. We’d suggest taking a look at the lines to gauge what your fastest option is. You might still have to wait with Mobile Order! Also, some of the more popular spots can get their time slots filled up pretty quickly, so if you REALLY want to get food from a certain spot, we’d suggest placing your order several hours before you actually want to eat. That way, you can relax knowing that you definitely will get that food! ©Disney We hope this helps you decide where to spend your money on a quick meal while you’re in Disney World.
