Disney partners with a lot of other brands to bring people all different kinds of products. H2O toiletries From purses to clothing to kitchenware, you can potentially fill your whole home with Disney stuff! There are also brands that make special products just for Disney, and one of those brands is actually about to be no more. H2O+ is retiring the brand at the end of the year. This is the company that makes all of those bath and body products you find in your Disney hotel and in your cabin on Disney Cruise Line. H2O toiletries They posted on their website that “After 30+ amazing years of innovation, we have made the very difficult decision to retire the brand at the end of the year.” They also noted that you can “shop your favorites on Amazon while supplies last.” ©H2O+ H2O+ doesn’t just make Disney products — there are other products available from skincare to bath products. But, you can now only buy these items on Amazon. On their website, H2O+ said “H2O+ products will be available exclusively on Amazon, and we will no longer be accepting orders on H2OPlus.com.” H2O+ products However, there are still some Disney H2O+ products available over on shopDisney, so grab them while you can! ©Disney There is no word from Disney yet on how this will affect the products they keep in the hotel rooms and on Disney Cruise Line, but we’ll keep you updated on any announcements made.

$12 for a hot dog? $4.50 for a soda? And $40 MAC AND CHEESE?! Isn’t it lovely?! Disney World is not exactly known for budget-friendly prices, whether you’re looking at park tickets, hotel rooms, or souvenirs. Today, we’re diving deep into the world of Disney FOOD to find out whether food prices in the theme parks are actually as ridiculous as many people think. There are some places in Disney World where you can get REALLY expensive food. We’re talking $400+ for a single meal at Victoria & Albert’s in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. New Zealand Langoustine with Passion Fruit Nuoc Cham Other restaurants (often called “signature” restaurants) are more reasonable but still not easy on the wallet. Places like Le Cellier, Tiffins, and The Hollywood Brown Derby offer meals anywhere from $30 to $60 per person. Tiffins And then there’s Disney World’s fast food (counter service restaurants), which have a large range of prices throughout the parks and hotels. You can typically get a meal with a drink for under $20 per person at these locations. So are these prices really THAT much more expensive than food in the “real” world? Woody’s Lunch Box We’re looking into several different aspects of Disney World’s food process, including how the theme parks get their food, how much food Disney World actually sells, how Disney determines the prices, and a comparison of Disney’s food prices to other restaurants and theme parks. Where does Disney World get its food? Before Disney World can determine prices and sell its food, it has to GET the food! So where does all of the deliciousness that is Disney food come from? There are actually several different places, including Disney World itself. Grown On-Site If you’ve ever been on Living With the Land (an attraction in The Land pavilion in EPCOT), you know that Disney actually grows quite a lot of produce, herbs, and other food right on site! Living with the Land in EPCOT According to Farm Flavor, there are 2.5 million square feet of active greenhouses on EPCOT’s property. These greenhouses can produce “over 32,000 tomatoes in a 16-month period” and 27,000 heads of lettuce in a year. In fact, Disney uses “between 20 and 30 tons of their own produce in their restaurants every year, including nearly 5,000 pounds of fish.” Greenhouses in Disney World And of course we can’t forget about the amazing Mickey-shaped veggies that are grown here! Mickey pumpkins! So Disney does actually produce a lot of their food right inside the theme parks. It’s then sent to the parks’ amazing chefs, who use it to create culinary masterpieces. Purchased from Other Sellers Even though Disney World produces some of its own food, a lot of the snacks and pre-packaged items don’t actually come from the EPCOT greenhouses. Disney sources these foods from outside companies. Pre-packaged snacks For example, DOLE Whip isn’t actually a Disney snack at all — it’s made by the DOLE company (which means you can find DOLE Whips at some locations outside of Disney World too!). We love you, Dole Whip! Disneyland’s famous churros are another outside-sourced snack. These are made by Tio Pepe’s Churros, which is owned by J&J Snack Foods Corp. Disneyland Resort We fell in love with the Mini Mango Pie from Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but it turns out that you can get these pies at your local Kroger or Publix! They’re called Kenny’s “Minis” Mango Pies there. Mini Mango Pie The beloved Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar is an iconic Disney parks treat. Did you even go to Disney World if you didn’t eat one on Magic Kingdom’s hub grass? If you’re a big fan of these treats, hold onto your seat because we’re about to blow your mind: they’re actually made by NESTLE. Mickey Premium Bar Yep — the same people who make Crunch bars and Butterfingers also create Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars. And that’s why you can find them at your local grocery store sometimes, as well! Mickey Ice Cream Bars at Home In some cases, Disney’s restaurants are completely run by 3rd party companies. Yak & Yeti — a delicious sit-down spot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom — is owned by Landry Inc., a large chain restaurant company. Yak and Yeti Restaurant The same company also owns Rainforest Café, which has a couple of locations on Disney World property. Rainforest Cafe So Disney World does grow a lot of their food from the ground up, but there are plenty of third-party sellers involved in the food scene as well. How much food does Disney World sell? Disney World is a VERY popular place to be, so clearly they sell a LOT of food to the millions of guests who come through the parks every year. But exactly how much is “a lot?” Breakfast at Cape May Cafe According to a 2019 press release from The Walt Disney Company, Disney World sells 1.6 million Turkey Legs, over 3.3 million Mickey Bars, and over 1.3 million DOLE Whips every year. Turkey Leg Guests at Disney World also purchase enough popcorn each year to fill 1.5 Olympic-sized pools! And if you lined up all the bratwurst sold at the Germany pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase every 2 months, the line would stretch 26 miles. POPCORN At the Hollywood Brown Derby in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, over 60,000 of their famous Cobb Salads are sold each year. And during tomato season, more than 70 lbs of tomatoes are served at California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort every NIGHT. The Famous Cobb Salad And every single year, Disney World guests buy over 10 million hamburgers, 6 million hot dogs, and 9 million pounds of french fries. That’s a lot of fries It’s clear that the demand for good food is HIGH in the Disney parks. And with so many guests coming through each year, that doesn’t really come as a surprise. You need fuel to get you between rides, after all! How does Disney determine the price? Although we don’t know all the ins and outs of Disney’s decision-making process when it comes to pricing food, we can make some educated guesses based on how pricing works at other restaurants and what changes we’ve seen recently. There are a few factors that go into setting those prices, including cost of ingredients, guest demand, and availability. Inside Connections Cafe in EPCOT For some foods, Disney buys ingredients (if not the entire food) from third-party sellers. The price they pay for those items will play a big part in determining the cost, as Disney wants to turn a profit. So if Disney pays $2 to Nestle for every Mickey Ice Cream Bar, they’ll increase that price in the parks so that they’re still making money. Snack stand Demand is another big factor when it comes to pricing. We’ve seen some of the most popular snacks in Disney World increase in price, and it’s possible that those price increases happened simply…well…because they can. Earlier this year, DOLE Whips went from $4.99 to $5.99, Mickey-shaped pretzels increased to $7.50 at some locations, and bottled sodas saw a $0.50 increase at select stands. Bottled drinks Those are some very in-demand offerings, and we’ve seen in the past few months since those price increases that people are still willing to pay the higher prices. As much as people complain about the continual price increases, many just don’t seem willing to give up their favorite Disney snacks. Mickey Pretzel! That demand is why Disney can charge more than other companies for the same products. For example, remember how we said that you can get Mini Mango Pies and Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars at your local grocery stores? Well, Disney charges $5.29 for the mango pie and $5.79 for the ice cream bar. At the grocery stores, you can get the same mango pie for $1.99 and the same ice cream bar for $1.33 (the ice cream bars come in a pack of 6 for $7.99). Kenny’s Mini Mango Pie Increased demand and the nostalgia factor both play into those huge differences in price. As much as we love Mickey bars at home, we have to admit that they somehow taste better on Main Street, U.S.A., in Disney World. Do they taste $4.46 better? That’s really up to you to decide! Mickey Bar A third factor comes into play with Disney World’s food prices: supply. This has been especially prevalent with all of the global supply chain shortages recently. For example, we saw some restaurants adjusting their menus altogether because some products were simply unavailable for a while. Monte Cristo! If certain foods are more difficult to obtain or more expensive, Disney will likely increase the prices on menu items with those ingredients. So is Disney World’s food really that overpriced? Now that we’ve looked at several different aspects of Disney World’s food system, let’s see if the food is actually THAT much more expensive at Disney World than it is at other restaurants and theme parks. We compared some basic dishes at Disney to those at “normal” restaurants (ones that are comparable in terms of quality) and other theme parks (namely, Universal Orlando, Six Flags, and Dollywood). Let’s see who wins most expensive in each category! Burgers, fries, and a drink Disney World: Cosmic Ray’s ⅓ lb. Angus bacon cheeseburger — $11.99; and a drink — $3.99 = $15.98 McDonald’s: Bacon quarter pounder with cheese meal = $8.79 Five Guys: Bacon cheeseburger — $7.99; fries — $3.79; drink $2.19 = $13.97 Universal Orlando: Krusty Burger Combo (1/3 lb. burger, fries, and a shake) = $16.49 Dollywood: Red’s Drive-In Bacon cheeseburger with fries (no drink) = $10.99 Most expensive: Universal Orlando Burger and fries at Cosmic Ray’s Soda Disney World: (most counter service restaurants — $4.49 At some locations — $3.99 Movie theaters: $4.99 to $5.79 (according to Movie Theater Prices) General fast food places: Raisin’ Canes — $1.79; Five Guys — $2.69; McDonald’s — $1 Six Flags over Texas — $4.49 Universal Orlando — $4.19 Most expensive: Movie theaters Coke! Steak dinner Disney World: Le Cellier filet mignon — $59 Ruth’s Chris: filet – $54 Outback Steakhouse: 9 oz filet mignon — $27.99 Universal Orlando: Bigfire 8 oz filet mignon — $30 Most expensive: Disney World Who’s ready for some steak? So while Disney World’s food prices are certainly not cheap, it seems like they’re actually comparable to other theme parks and entertainment venues. Universal Orlando has pricey food too! One way that Disney World is different than some entertainment venues is that you are welcome to bring in outside food and drink if you don’t want to pay for the food in the parks. According to Disney World’s website, “Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverage items into the park for self-consumption, provided they are not in glass containers and do not require heating, reheating, processing, refrigeration or temperature control and do not have pungent odors. Inform a Security Cast Member of any food items when you enter the park.” You can bring your own snacks! This is different from other parks like Dollywood, which — according to the theme park’s website — does not allow outside food or drinks into the park. ©Dollywood If you’re really trying to avoid those high food prices in Disney, you can always bring a packed lunch!

If you don’t already have Disney+ Day marked in your calendars, pull those planners and phones out right now so you can write down this date. Disney+ Day Decor September 8th, 2022 is when Disney+ Day will take place this year. Last year, Disney+ Day brought some special perks, premieres of new movies and shows on Disney+, and more. This year, some similar experiences will be coming back and now we’ve got news about a VERY special Disney+ subscriber perk! If you’re a Disney+ Subscriber and you’re heading to Walt Disney World or Disneyland on September 8th, get READY! On September 8th, ALL Disney+ subscribers will get the chance to enter ANY of the theme parks at Disneyland or Walt Disney World 30 minutes before the regular park opening. Park Passes and valid tickets to the park you want to visit are still required so keep that in mind. Get in Early! If you’ll be staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel or one of the hotels of Disneyland Resort, the existing early entry offering for hotel guests will be even sweeter. On September 8th, those staying at select Disney World Resort Hotels or the Disneyland Resort hotels will get to enter the park of their choice 60 (!) minutes before the regular park opening time. Again, valid park tickets and a Park Pass for the park you want to enter are required. (This is for all eligible hotel guests, not just those who are Disney+ subscribers.) This is similar to the early entry perk offered last year for Disney+ Day. Getting into the parks 30 or 60 minutes early could really help you get on some of those popular rides or some of your must-do attractions before the bigger crowds arrive, so it’s a perk you won’t want to miss out on! Disney+ Day 2021 But wait, there’s MORE! In addition to the early entry perks, Disney+ subscribers will also get FREE Disney PhotoPass photo downloads at select spots in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (in Walt Disney World) and the theme parks at Disneyland Resort on September 8th. Be sure to look for the spots that qualify for these FREE downloads! PhotoPass sign Disney+ Day will also bring with it some special Disney+ character meet-and-greets and cavalcades at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, plus “surprises” during the day. There will also be Disney+ movie screenings at the Disney World hotels for their Movie Under the Stars offerings. At Disneyland Resort, Disney+ Day will also bring some commemorative chalk, special photo ops, a special movie screening at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa for Disneyland Resort hotel guests, blue snacks (like blue-dusted churros), and blue cocktails too. Disney+ 2021 Digitally, fans can join in on the fun by checking out Disney PhotoPass Lenses for Disney+ Day. Limited-time lenses will be available through Snapchat in the U.S. and the My Disney Experience app. There will also be specialty items at Disneyland Paris, and gifts from Disney+ on the Disney Vacation Club Member cruise that takes place starting on August 29th. Russell, Carl, and Dug on Disney+ Day 2021 Some new movies and shows will also premiere on Disney+ on that day. We can’t wait to see what else is announced for Disney+ Day.

Disney Weddings are not an uncommon occurrence. ©Disney | Allure Bridals There are multiple wedding venues around Disney World, and Disney even came out with a line of dresses for brides to consider. Disney weddings are crazy expensive though, so we’ve also put together a list of how you can subtly incorporate Disney into your wedding no matter where you are. But did you know you can incorporate lightsabers into your Disney wedding at Four Seasons? A couple who recently had their wedding at the Four Seasons Orlando Resort in Disney World incorporated a lightsaber battle into their wedding! Um, how cool is that?! And look at those stormtroopers in the back! While getting married in Galaxy’s Edge isn’t allowed at this time, we think this option might make some Star Wars fans pretty epic. It’s also an idea for a wedding that you can adopt and use at your own venue? Who needs a first dance when you can have a first lightsaber battle?! If you’re not getting married anytime soon, there are still many special offers in Disney that you may not know about! You can book behind-the-scenes tours in multiple parks, go on a fireworks cruise, and book your own private photo sessions. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!

It’s a special time of year in Disneyland. Halloween Time starts soon! Halloween decorations are starting to appear! If you’ve ever been to Disneyland during Halloween, you’ll know that both parks go ALL out with the decorations, merchandise, and snacks. Plus there’s the Oogie Boogie Bash to look forward to! But for now, we’re just cruising through the parks looking for new food and merchandise. Disneyland Food Updates Tomorrowland Pretzel Stand We tried the new Dreamworld Coke, and, well, we had some thoughts. Let’s just say it didn’t taste like our dreams, but you might just want to grab it for the novelty factor. So this isn’t really what dreams taste like, right? It’s available now for $5.25. Read Our Full Review Here Galactic Grill If you’re looking for what might just be the best quick breakfast in Disneyland, head to Galactic Grill and get the Breakfast Bowl. It’s made with Seasoned Potato Bites topped with Scrambled Eggs, Cheese, Maple Sausage, and Country Gravy. This Is a Big “YES” from Us! Did we mention it’s very tasty? Our only complaint is that we wanted more cheese on it, but when do we NOT want more cheese? Grab it now for $9.49. Read Our Full Review! Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo We headed over to Docking Bay 7 to try the new Cold Brew with Taro Topper, which is a Nitro Cold Brew topped with a Sweet Taro Cream for $6.29. We’re not big fans of Taro, but we found if we mixed it all up, you couldn’t taste it so much. Cold Brew with Taro Topper We also were reunited with some noodles we had way back on Life Day. They were called Pork Broth Noodles then, but now they’re Gungan Broth Noodles. However, they’re still made with Roasted Pork, Angel Hair Pasta, Bok Choy, Mushrooms, Yuzu-Tomato Compote, and a Pesto-Tonkatsu Broth for $15.49. They are also still delicious. This meat was DELICIOUS So head on over to Docking Bay 7 for some new-ish food! Read Our Full Review Of Both Items Here! Golden Horseshoe Okay, so you KNOW we’re going to try something called a Cookie Butter Churro Sundae. Like how can we not? This sundae, which costs $7.99, is made with Cookie Dough Ice Cream with Cookie Butter Sauce, garnished with Cinnamon Sugar-dusted Churros and Whipped Topping. Cookie Butter Churro Sundae All we can say is this might just be better than a Mickey Bar — don’t come @ us, but this baby is GOOD! Read Our Full Review Here! Hungry Bear Restaurant We found the perfect snack for Winnie the Pooh. It’s a Honey Funnel Cake, which is a traditional funnel cake dipped in Honey Syrup and topped with Honey-Citrus Syrup, Honey Gelato, Bee Pollen, and Honey Cereal Topping. That Honey Gelato is GOOD! How sweet it is, right? The honey gelato was probably our favorite part, but there was a LOT of sweetness here. Try it for yourself for $9.99. Click Here To Read Our Full Review! Alien Pizza Planet But the new Count Down Shrimp Fusilli was a 10 out of 10 for us! This is Fusili Pasta topped with Garlic Shrimp, a Parmesan-Pesto Cream Sauce with Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Shaved Parmesan Cheese. Y’all…that sauce. Just…YES!

Let’s talk Star Wars for a minute — if you could choose light side or dark side, which would it be? Which side would you choose? That’s actually a question you’ll face when you’re on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in Disney World. You could either follow the path of a rebel or help the First Order. Of course, to make that choice on the Galactic Starcruiser, you’d need to book one of its pricey two-night stays. But now, you have a chance to win a trip on the Halcyon! Lucasfilm is asking you to “Choose Your Destiny” with brand new Star Wars merchandise. Along with that, you can also enter to win a chance for a 6-day 5-night vacation at Disney World, which will include a two-night stay on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser and a custom lightsaber experience at Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. ©Disney Here’s how to enter: post an Instagram Reel answering the question “Are you team light side or dark side?” Be sure to use the hashtag #ChooseYourDestinySweepstakes and follow @StarWarsLife to be entered to win. You have until September 15th to complete your entry! ©Disney If you do win, or even if you don’t, we’ve put together a complete guide about the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, as well as answered a lot of your questions.

This week, the Disney Princesses are getting the royal treatment around Disney World in honor of World Princess Week! Hi Moana! The royal celebration takes place from August 21st through August 27th featuring special merchandise, entertainment, announcements, and, our favorite…FOOD! That’s right, guests at Disney World and Disneyland can find tons of Princess-themed treats around the parks and resorts to join in on the festivities. You know we LOVE us a new snack (we are Disney Food Blog, after all!) so we’re heading out to taste the royal offerings for ourselves! Our latest stop takes us to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to snag the Moana Mini Cake, available at Kona Island Coffee Bar and Capt. Cook’s! Capt. Cook’s The Moana Mini Cake is one of the brand-new snacks that debuted in honor of this year’s World Princess Week. It’s made with vanilla cake, mango mousse, and a wave of glaçage, buttercream, fondant, and white chocolate décor. This is definitely an Instagramable treat, but does it deliver on taste as well? Let’s dig in and find out! It’s Moana! We really liked how light the cake was — the texture was very airy. The mango mousse had small white pearls in it, which added a nice, although surprising, crunch, as that’s not listed in the description. The wave glaçage on the outside tasted like marshmallow, which we liked. However, it does melt quickly! Melting already! There IS a heavy sugar flavor with this dessert, though, so this is perfect for people with a sweet tooth. We kinda’ wish there was more mango flavor with it to balance that sweetness out. But it’s worth trying out if you like cake and tropical flavors! It is very shareable, so we think the price is worth it for how much cake you get. That mango mousse, though If the Moana Mini Cake sounds like a must-have dessert for you, be sure to swing by either Kona Island Coffee Bar or Capt. Cook’s this week to snag one for $7.29! We’ll be trying a bunch of the World Princess Week treats like the Aurora Fruit Tart, so stay tuned for more reviews. If you want a list of the special princess treats this week, check it out here! We’ll continue to eat our way around the new Princess-themed snacks in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more reviews heading your way SOON!

Are you ready to celebrate the Disney Princesses?! Princess Fairytale Hall August 21st through August 27th is World Princess Week, and we’re ready to celebrate like royalty with Princess-themed merchandise, snacks, and giveaways. So, without further delay, let’s kick off the festivities by sipping on a royal treat (with a pinky up, obviously)! Over at Bar Riva at Disney’s Riviera Resort, you can sip on True Love’s Kiss — a World Princess Week exclusive drink. It’s full of Limeade, Mango, Guava, and Raspberry Glitter Foam. And yes…it’s reaaaaally pretty. But how does it taste? So Pretty! Get ready to pucker — this thing is incredibly sweet! (Is that why it’s called True Love’s Kiss?) However that sweetness gets cut with a nice touch of ginger. The lemonade isn’t the overpowering flavor here, surprisingly. The mango is actually a stronger flavor, which is very fruity and sweet. Basically, if you enjoy lemonade or fruity drinks, then this is for you. If you don’t, then this may not be your idea of a good drink. But there’s no argument here — this thing is GORGEOUS. All Mixed Together So if that sounds like a refreshing drink, you can grab it through August 27th for $6.49. OH — and a Cast Member told us you can asked for it to be “spiked” with vodka. Do with this information what you will, adults 21 years of age and older. If you’re looking for other drinks, check out what fall offerings have hit the resort.

It’s time for us to celebrate like royalty…because we’re celebrating royalty. ©Disney August 21st through August 27th is World Princess Week, which means we’ll be celebrating our favorite Disney Princesses all week long with giveaways, treats, and merchandise. And speaking of treats, today we’re digging into an enchanted snack inspired by Sleeping Beauty! Over at Le Petit Café at Disney’s Riviera Resort, you can grab the Aurora Fruit Tart! The treat has Diplomat Cream, Raspberry Mousse, and Fresh Berries. And you guys…this treat is just as enchanting as Sleeping Beauty! SOOOOO Cute! Aside from being one of the prettiest treats we’ve ever seen, it was also extremely tasty. The berries are fresh, the raspberry mousse melts in your mouth, and the cookie base is well-baked and compliments the mousse. All of those flavors are incredible in their own right…but they combined to create one of the best fruity treats we’ve had in a while! Look At That Goodness And don’t just take it from us — while our reporter was grabbing pictures of the treat, multiple people came up to say how good it was.

We can’t always predict things that might go wrong in Disney World, but we can certainly help you prepare! Hello, spooky balloons! Since the parks are changing pretty much constantly, it can be hard to keep up with the latest news. From restaurant openings to the latest attraction to astonish guests, something new is popping up almost every day. Don’t get caught by surprise on your next trip, and check out the latest construction updates from Disney World! Magic Kingdom TRON: Lightcycle Run Shapes! We’re seeing more shapes! Specifically, more geometric concrete walls are up in the TRON construction zone. From the looks of it, guests might have to wind their way through these areas somehow — but we’ll have to wait and see. Still very much under construction When it comes to an opening date on this project, Disney has (unsurprisingly) stayed quiet. It was originally scheduled to be completed by the start of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, but as you can see…that didn’t quite come to fruition. Stay tuned for the latest updates! Click Here to See the Latest TRON Update EPCOT Mitsukoshi We finally know what’s going on over in the Japan Pavilion at Mitsukoshi — the floors are being refurbished! Mitsukoshi construction Construction originally began on the right side of the store, and has now migrated over to the left side. We’ll keep an eye out and let you know if we hear of a completion date for this project! Journey of Water – Inspired by Moana Okay, things are REALLY starting to get going over in the middle of EPCOT. Journey of Water – Inspired by Moana is coming to the park, but could it be completed in time for the 40th anniversary of EPCOT on October 1st?! ‘Moana’ construction progress Only time will tell, but Disney could be making an announcement any day now. Maybe we’ll hear something at the D23 Expo in September — stay tuned for updates! See the Latest Journey of Water Concept Art Here Disney’s Hollywood Studios Beverly Sunset Boutique After being closed since November 2021 due to supply chain issues, Beverly Sunset Boutique has reopened in Hollywood Studios! Beverly Sunset Boutique is OPEN! A Cast Member previously told us that the store remained closed from not having enough merchandise to stock the shelves, but we’re happy to report that has changed! See the Reopened Beverly Sunset Boutique HERE Disney Resorts Polynesian Village Resort In case you missed it, Kona Café has closed for refurbishment at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! Right now, there’s no word on how long this closure will last so you’ll have to stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, you can grab a bite to eat at Tambu Lounge, Capt. Cook’s, Kona Island, or try getting a reservation at ‘Ohana or Trader Sam’s! Kona Cafe is closed for refurbishment Construction is coming along (if you consider moving piles of dirt around construction) where the NEW Polynesian Village Resort hotel rooms, dining locations, and merch locations will be. Polynesian construction Right now, work is scheduled to be completed in late 2024, so stay tuned for updates! BoardWalk Inn Resort The NEW BoardWalk Deli is OPEN! It replaced the old BoardWalk Bakery, though you can still get a decent amount of baked goods here. We were there on opening day — read our breakfast review here and our lunch review here! BoardWalk Deli is OPEN! Right now, the BoardWalk Pizza Window is under construction! You can still grab a slice over at Trattoria al Forno in the meantime, though. The BoardWalk Pizza Window is closed. Disney hasn’t shared how long the window will be closed, but we’re keeping an eye out for updates. Yacht & Beach Club Construction is continuing over at Stormalong Bay, the shared pool at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. It shouldn’t impact your fun in the sun, though!

There’s a LOT to keep track of if you want to maximize your time at the party — and we’re here to help you out. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party Whether it’s your first time at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary or your 50th, you probably have questions about how the party works, what’s different or new this year, what things you should definitely not miss, what crowds are like at the party, and so on. We’ve gathered up a list of your questions, and we have all the answers! Click on a question to jump to the answer! What’s Included in the Price of Your Ticket? What Time Are the Shows, Fireworks, and Parades? What’s New at the Party This Year? How Crowded Will the Party Be? Which Characters Can You Meet at the Party? Which Treats Should You NOT MISS at the Party? What Kind of Candy Is Passed Out for Trick-or-Treating? Should You Bring a Trick-or-Treat Bucket? Are there Allergy-Friendly Treats? Are Sit-Down Restaurants Open During the Party? Which Rides Are Open During the Party? Are there Halloween Ride Overlays? Is Genie+ Available During the Party? What’s Different for the 50th Anniversary this Year? Are the Fireworks Dessert Parties Worth the Cost? What Should I Do If the Parade or Fireworks Are Rained Out? What Kinds of Costumes Are Allowed at the Party? Do I Need a Park Pass Reservation If I Have a Party Ticket? Do I Have to Leave and Re-Enter Magic Kingdom If I’m Already Spending the Day in the Park? What Time Does Magic Kingdom Close for Day Guests on Party Days? Are there any Photo Ops or Magic Shots at the Party? What Kind of Exclusive Merchandise Is Available at the Party?< What’s Included in the Price of Your Ticket? Trick-or-Treating at designated spots throughout the Magic Kingdom (with allergy-friendly options available — Request an allergy-friendly treat bag from a Cast Member), as well as party-exclusive treats available for an extra cost Guest-only access to Magic Kingdom attractions (some with Halloween overlays) The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular show Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show The Boo-To-You Halloween Parade (with NEW 90s pals like Powerline Max this year) Boo-to-You Parade Disney Junior Jam Dance Party at Storybook Circus ZOM-BEATZ BASH Dance Party at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café Exclusive entertainment such as the Cadaver Dans Barbershop Quartet Photo opportunities with Disney characters in their Halloween costumes and event-exclusive 3D step-in photo opportunities Party-exclusive snacks and merchandise available for extra purchase Guests will receive guests a “reusable trick-or-treat bag featuring a keepsake 50th Anniversary celebration and Halloween design” and a “Halloween-themed 50th Anniversary celebration commemorative print!” What Time Are the Shows, Fireworks, and Parades? Here’s a schedule of events at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: The Boo-to-You Parade runs twice — once at 9:15PM and again at 11:15PM each night (weather permitting) Mickey’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show happens at 10:15PM at the Cinderella Castle Fireworks The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular show takes place at the Cinderella Castle at 8:35PM, 10:45PM, and midnight. (Those times will change to 7:40PM, 8:35PM, 10:45PM, and midnight for parties in October.) The Cadaver Dans can be found in Frontierland at 7PM, 7:45PM, 8:30PM, 9:50PM, and 10:30PM. Remember that shows are subject to be canceled or changed due to weather. What’s New at the Party This Year? Take a look at some new additions to the party this year: Max Goof has joined the Boo-to-You parade, dressed as superstar Powerline from A Goofy Movie. A new dance party this year takes place at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café with a Zombies theme! The dance party is inspired by the Disney Channel original movie ZOMBIES, and it’s called the ZOM-BEATZ BASH. Zombies and Cheerleaders are there, dancing along with party-goers. Check out the ZOMBEATZ BASH at Cosmic Ray’s! The new treat bags this year are reusable, and they have a Halloween-themed 50th Anniversary design on them to celebrate Disney World’s big anniversary. There are Halloween-themed 50th Anniversary prints for people to take home. There are 3D photo backdrops throughout Magic Kingdom, which you’ll be able to step inside to take a photo. How Crowded Will the Party Be? From our experience at 2 different Not-So-Scary parties this year, Magic Kingdom feels much less crowded during most of the party. There are pretty big crowds at the entrance to get inside around 4PM, and you’ll be surrounded by a lot of people during the fireworks show and parade as well. Crowds waiting to go inside But many of the rides had wait times of 20 minutes or less, and we didn’t have to wait in any long lines to trick-or-treat. Which Characters Can You Meet at the Party? You can find many rare characters in Magic Kingdom during this party, including a lot of great Disney villains and some classic characters dressed up in Halloween costumes! A bit scary! Here are some that we spotted: Stitch dressed as Elvis (in Tomorrowland) Madam Renatta (in front of the Haunted Mansion) Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (in Fantasyland) Alice and the Mad Hatter Jafar, Abu, and Genie (in Adventureland) the Country Bears (in Frontierland) Jack and Sally (at the Main Street Theater) George Sanderson (from Monsters, Inc.) So fuzzy!! And, of course, you can see Max dressed as Powerline in the Boo-to-You Parade. Make sure you’re standing along the front half of Main Street, U.S.A. (closer to the railroad station) or by the Confectionery for the best chance to see him! He doesn’t walk the full parade route. You can find Powerline Max partying it up with his friends on Main Street, U.S.A.! Don’t miss the Headless Horseman, who will ride ahead of the Boo-to-You Parade, weather permitting. Which Treats Should You NOT MISS at the Party? We have full reviews of all the Halloween treats at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! Check those out to see which treats sound the tastiest to you. Worms and Dirt Funnel Cake A few of our favorites were the Sweet Almond Corn Cake, Worms and Dirt Funnel Cake, and the Coco Brownie. Click here to read ALL our reviews of the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween treats. What Kind of Candy Is Passed Out for Trick-or-Treating? At most trick-or-treat locations, Disney Cast Members pass out “fun-sized” packets of Mars-Wrigley candy. You’ll get treats like M&Ms, Skittles, Twix bars, etc. Trick or Treat! But there was one location offering full-sized bags of M&Ms during the party! Should You Bring a Trick-or-Treat Bucket? Disney gives party-goers a free reusable trick-or-treating bag, so there’s no need to bring your own! Reusable candy bags at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party However, you’re welcome to bring one if you’d prefer to do that. Are there Allergy-Friendly Treats? Yes! If you’re trick-or-treating and you have a food allergy, ask a Cast Member for an allergy-friendly bag. You’ll get a different, teal-colored bag so that the Cast Members at trick-or-treat locations know to give you a teal token instead of candy. Allergy friendly bag When you’re finished trick-or-treating, simply take those tokens to one of the redemption locations to trade them in for candy that’s safe for you! Are Sit-Down Restaurants Open During the Party? Two sit-down restaurants are open during the party, and they both require reservations if you want to dine there. You can eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table or Be Our Guest Restaurant during party hours. Reservations opened for both restaurants on August 9th, so we recommend booking those reservations ASAP if you want a table service meal during the party. The Grand Ballroom in Magic Kingdom’s Be Our Guest Restaurant Other sit-down restaurants in Magic Kingdom will not be available during the party. Before you make a reservation at one of the 2 available table service restaurants, remember that these meals are often fairly long and that you may have to take valuable (limited!) party time in order to dine at either of these spots. Your meal is NOT included in the party ticket. Which Rides Are Open During the Party? Here’s a full list of which rides are open during the party: Adventureland Swiss Family Treehouse The Magic Carpets of Aladdin Pirates of the Caribbean (with a spooky overlay!) Frontierland Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Splash Mountain Splash Mountain Liberty Square Haunted Mansion Fantasyland Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Peter Pan’s Flight “it’s a small world” Under the Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid Mad Tea Party (with a spooky overlay!) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Storybook Circus Dumbo the Flying Elephant The Barnstormer Dumbo Tomorrowland Tomorrowland Speedway Space Mountain (with a spooky overlay!) Astro Orbiter Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor (with a spooky overlay!) Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Are There Halloween Ride Overlays? As you might have seen from the last question, YES there are Halloween ride overlays this year. At Pirates of the Caribbean, you can see live pirate characters in the queue and on the ride. PIRATE at Pirates of the Caribbean! Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor has a Halloween segment as well, where you might hear some spooky jokes. Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Over in Fantasyland, the Mad Tea Cups have Halloween lighting and some spooky music. Special lighting and music at Mad Tea Party And finally, Deep Space Mountain has returned this year! Halloween Lighting The ride itself is the same, but the lights are off and there’s Halloween music playing. Is Genie+ Available During the Party? We tried to use Genie+ during the party once to find out if it was available, but we can confirm that Genie+ is NOT available during the party. Disney Genie However, from our experiences on two different party nights, ride wait times are usually very low. Most rides didn’t have wait times over about 25 minutes, and many (including popular rides like Splash Mountain) were walk-ons while we were there. What’s Different for the 50th Anniversary This Year? There are a couple of 50th Anniversary touches this year as Disney World continues its celebrations. First of all, the trick-or-treat candy bag has Disney World’s 50th Anniversary logo on it! Gotta rep the 50th Anniversary! And there’s a special 50th Anniversary souvenir lithograph that’s handed out to guests as they leave the party (while supplies last). The Lithograph This free souvenir shows the Cinderella Castle with both 50th and Halloween decorations. Are the Fireworks Dessert Parties Worth the Cost? If you want to guarantee a good spot to watch the fireworks without spending time reserving your seat, you may want to consider one of the fireworks dessert parties. The Set-Up They’re located at the Tomorrowland Terrace restaurant, and there are a couple of options: Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party: $115 for adults, $69 for kids (ages 3 to 9) Includes a buffet of treats and drinks at Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Treats include chocolate-dipped strawberries, cupcakes, seasonal fruits, cheeses, and other “ghoulish goodies” Drinks are sparkling beverages, signature lemonades, coffee, and tea; beer and wine will be available to Guests ages 21 and over Reserved seating in the dining room of the Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Check-in time is 1 hour before the fireworks begin. You will check in at the entrance to the Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Tomorrowland Terrace Plaza Garden Dessert Party: $99 for adults, $59 for kids (ages 3 to 9) Includes a buffet of treats and drinks at Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Treats include chocolate-dipped strawberries, cupcakes, seasonal fruits, cheeses, and other “ghoulish goodies” Drinks are sparkling beverages, signature lemonades, coffee, and tea; beer and wine will be available to Guests ages 21 and over Reserved standing space in the Plaza Garden, located in front of Cinderella Castle, to watch the fireworks Check-in begins 1.5 hours before fireworks begin. Guests can check in at the entrance to Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant. Check-in area Whether or not the dessert party is worth it for you will depend on your budget and priorities. It can be nice to save time and not worry about reserving your spot for the fireworks! However, even without staking out a spot hours in advance, we were able to find a great viewing position. Spooky Fireworks Another factor to consider is the treats. If the desserts sound amazing to you, you may want to pay for the party. But remember that there are a LOT of party-exclusive Halloween treats that can be found at various quick service restaurants around the park. And you can also get candy by trick-or-treating at the various stations around Magic Kingdom! So if you’re going to fill up on those treats, you may want to skip the dessert parties. Our Plate Still can’t decide? You can read our FULL review here! What Should I Do if the Parade or Fireworks Are Rained Out? If you’re at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or another after-hours type event and some of the entertainment is canceled due to weather, Disney might offer you a “rain check.” Head to a Guest Relations desk and ask about this possibility — they may be able to give you a new party ticket for another night as compensation. Rain in Magic Kingdom On the first night of the party, one of the parade showings was canceled and the fireworks show was delayed. As a result, Guest Relations was offering comped tickets to party-goers. These tickets could work as a ticket for a different night of the party, a 1-day park ticket, or a ticket to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Often, these compensations are offered on a case-by-case basis, and they will not always be offered at all. But it never hurts to (politely) ask! Click here to learn more about rain checks. What Kinds of Costumes Are Allowed at the Party? This is one of the only times when adults are welcome to wear a full costume in Disney World! Disney encourages guests to dress up for the party, and we’ve seen some awesome costumes already. @Isabella.c.f on Instagram However, there are some rules when it comes to dressing up. Here’s a look at Disney’s guidelines: For kids (ages 13 and under): “Costumes and some costume masks may be worn; masks must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.” Amazing! For adults (ages 14 and over): “Costumes may be worn according to these guidelines: All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests. Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable, or violent. Costumes may not contain any props or accessories that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon. Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects, or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest. Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening. Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground (for example, full-length Princess dresses). Capes may be worn if the length does not go below the waist. Themed t-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts, and hats are acceptable. Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords, and tutus. Costume headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face. Costume masks of any kind may not be worn. Love! Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from Disney parks, unless his or her costume can be modified to meet the above standards.” Need some inspiration? See 17 costume ideas for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party here! Do I Need a Park Pass Reservation if I Have a Party Ticket? If you have a ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you do NOT need a Magic Kingdom park pass reservation or park ticket. Do I Have to Leave and Re-Enter Magic Kingdom if I’m Already Spending the Day in the Park? If you choose to buy a park ticket and have a park pass reservation for Magic Kingdom on the day you’re going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, you will not have to leave Magic Kingdom and re-enter once the party begins. You can stay inside the park and hop right into the celebrations once they begin! Cast Member giving us our wristband! Remember to get your wristband from one of the designated wristband stations so that Cast Members know you’re staying for the party. There are a few different stations throughout the park where you can get your wristband. What Time Does Magic Kingdom Close for Day Guests on Party Days? Magic Kingdom closes for day guests at 6PM on days when there’s a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This Way to the Halloween Party! If you have a park ticket and park pass reservation for Magic Kingdom but do NOT have a Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket, you will have to exit the park by 6PM. Disney hands out wristbands to party-goers so that Cast Members know who is staying for the party. Are there any Photo Ops or Magic Shots at the Party? Yes!

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: planning a Disney World trip can be HARD! EPCOT There’s a lot that goes into planning your trip, like budgeting for the trip, deciding where you’re going to stay, figuring out whether or not you want to buy Genie+, and more. Now, we’re rounding up some of the biggest tips you NEED to know before your next Disney World trip. We went over to our Facebook page and asked our readers to share their tips, and we’re compiling them here! So without further ado, let’s get into the Disney World planning tips you absolutely need to know before your next trip. Plan Downtime A Disney World vacation can often feel very go-go-go, which is why it’s a good idea to plan some downtime into your trip. You can do this in a couple of different ways. A lot of people choose to take a break from the parks about halfway through their day. At that time, they go back to their hotel room and take a nap, grab a bite to eat, or go to the pool. Port Orleans French Quarter Pool You can also, depending on the length of your vacation, take a day off from the parks entirely. Guests who choose to do this will often plan a day in the middle of their trip where they don’t go into the parks at all. They take that day to either hang out at their hotel, go to Disney Springs, or take advantage of other things that Disney World has to offer like the water parks, mini golfing, and more. Winter Summerland miniature golf Another thing you can do on a day off from the parks is Resort hop. Resort hopping is when you visit Disney World Resort hotels that you are not staying at. Keep in mind that you often won’t be able to park at the Disney World Resort hotels unless you are staying there or have a dining reservation. Click here to see how to drink around Disney World without a park ticket! Be Mindful of Your Dining Reservations We get it — there are SO MANY unique and interesting dining options within Disney World that you might find yourself wanting to book a sit-down dining reservation for every meal of your vacation. Don’t overbook dining reservations! We’d strongly caution you to think carefully about this because it can cause a lot of unwanted stress during your vacation! If you book a LOT of dining reservations, then you might feel rushed. You may feel like you can’t take your time in the parks because you need to rush to get to every single dining reservation you booked. There are plenty of good dining options that don’t require reservations, with lots of good quick service restaurants and snacks in the parks. There are lots of great Disney World restaurants that don’t require reservations! Another thing to keep in mind when it comes to your dining reservations is how long it will take you to get from Point A to Point B. Disney recommends giving yourself up to 90 minutes to travel within Disney World, which is a safe bet, especially if you’re relying on Disney’s transportation like the buses, Skyliner, or Monorail. Click here to see EVERYTHING you should consider before making a Disney World dining reservation! Be Prepared for Rain If you’re going to Disney World, you should be prepared for bad weather and rain. This is especially true in the summertime, but it can rain a lot in Florida, even outside of the traditional summer months. Being prepared can include packing an extra pair of socks (because who wants to have to walk around with wet socks all day?) and a rain jacket, umbrella, or poncho, even if there isn’t any rain in the forecast. Rainy day at Hollywood Studios Some guests even choose to pack entire changes of clothes in their park bag in the event they get caught in a rainstorm or get drenched on a water ride (looking at YOU, Kali River Rapids). You can also bring Ziploc bags so you can keep your technology and valuables safe from the rain or water. Click here to see 8 things you’ll regret not having when it rains in Disney World! Manage Your Expectations There are a LOT of things to do in Disney World, and it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to see and do everything Disney World offers on one vacation. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind But that’s okay! You don’t have to do EVERYTHING on your trip. It’s important to be patient with yourself and with your group. Make a game plan of some absolute must-dos and make sure you accomplish those, and then try to be flexible with the rest of your trip. You never know what you might stumble across in the parks, so having an open mind is key. Click here to see 7 TERRIBLE things we recommend in Disney World! Don’t Overlook the Shows When you’re vacationing in Disney World, you’re going to want to make sure that you get on all of the rides that you want to experience (of course), but you shouldn’t overlook the shows! Disney World has some really great and entertaining shows available for you to watch that shouldn’t be missed. Festival of the Lion King show in Animal Kingdom If nothing else, taking a break to watch a show in the parks will give your legs and feet a break and will allow you to cool off in the AC, which sounds like a win-win to us!

Do you consider yourself to be a Disney expert? Do you think you’ve noticed all the unusual and strange details throughout the parks? Well, today we present a CHALLENGE to you in the form of character meet-and-greet secrets! Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost If you’ve met Mickey and Minnie, Merida, and Peter Pan, you may think that you know all the ins and outs of character meet-and-greets, but there’s SO much more to know. From secret hand signals to characters being “stuck” in their films, today we’re breaking down the 7 character meet-and-greet secrets and strange facts you may have never heard before! 1 — There Are SECRET Spots You probably know about the standard meet-and-greet spots marked on the various Disney World park maps, but did you know there are some SECRET character meet-and-greet spots? The first thing you’ll want to do to find some of these more hidden character spots is check the My Disney Experience app. One day we spotted a Goofy meet-and-greet listed in there for Storybook Circus and there he was, tucked away in a little corner! If you don’t check your My Disney Experience app during your trip, you might miss some meet-and-greets that pop up. It’s Goofy! While that Goofy meet-and-greet was listed in the app (but just a bit more tucked away in the park), there are some meet-and-greets that you won’t find in an app at all! Over near The American Adventure (to the left, near the large gate outside the pavilion) in EPCOT, and near World Showplace in EPCOT (between Canada and the United Kingdom) you may see a few characters pop up from time to time. Sometimes you might even spot a rare character or two! These pop up meet and greets are never guaranteed but you should always keep your eyes out when you’re in the area! Got to Look Carefully! You may also find some special character meet-and-greet spots that are only available for a limited group of individuals. These aren’t always offered, so just keep that in mind. But, when available, Disney Visa Credit Card members may be able to find a special photo op or character experience near the Imagination pavilion in EPCOT or at Star Wars: Launch Bay in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Oftentimes, these special experiences give Visa cardmembers the ability to meet characters (like Mickey, Minnie, or even Kylo Ren) with a very short wait. We can hug again! Again, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the availability of some of these offerings, but be sure to check and see what’s available during your next trip! Click here to see our answers to ALL of your Disney credit card questions! 2 — Character Group Photos Are a No-No Ever walk through Princess Fairytale Hall and just wish that you could take a photo with ALL of the Princesses there in one group shot? Well, don’t count on it happening anytime soon! In meet-and-greet spots where there are multiple characters meeting in a space near one another, people may be tempted to ask for a group shot with all the characters in it, but most of the time the characters will not be able to fulfill that request. Wish You Could Grab a Photo With Both Princesses? Why not? Well, if one group photo like that gets taken, you can only imagine how many other guests would want a similar photo for their kiddos and family. While these group photos would surely be EPIC, they simply can’t happen or they’d slow down the line significantly, create some complicated situations where some might get group shots while others don’t, etc. Gotta Meet Them Separately! So if you do see two or more characters meeting together (like Mickey and Minnie in Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, or Aladdin and Jasmine in Magic Kingdom) be sure to take advantage of it! Jasmine and Aladdin And while you’re there, take note of just how special it is to meet more than 1 character at the same time!

If you’re bringing your baby on their first trip to Disney World, you might really want Mickey to hold them and take a super adorable photo. Well, we regret to inform you that your dream photo simply can’t happen. Generally, characters cannot hold babies and aren’t even supposed to be super involved in big moments like proposals, gender reveals, baby announcements, etc. So while you can say “hi” to Mickey and then use the moment to propose to your partner, don’t expect to hand the ring to Mickey and have him be really involved in the scene. Hey Donald! Instead, you may notice that the characters will step away and give you a bit of space when a big moment like that takes place. That’s part of what they’re trained and expected to do, so don’t let it catch you by surprise. Also, Mickey can’t usually autograph your forehead, your hand, or even the shirt you’ve got on your back. Generally, characters aren’t allowed to autograph the skin of a guest or any piece of clothing they’re actively wearing. Daisy signing her autograph in EPCOT So if you’re hoping to get a shirt signed by all the princesses, don’t wear it. Instead, pack it in your park bag and pull it out during the meet-and-greet experiences. And make sure you come prepared with a marker or pen that’ll work well on whatever you want to be signed.

Well, get ready because we’re about to spill some serious secrets! Stormtroopers The stormtroopers in Galaxy’s Edge actually have automated sayings that they’re picking from as they make their rounds and investigate the people of Batuu. But the sayings don’t just play at random. Instead, the Cast Members who are “friends” with the stormtroopers select the automated sayings that play at any given point by utilizing special movements of their arms and hands. Stormtrooper in Galaxy’s Edge By making a particular movement, the Cast Member can trigger a specific automated saying that is more negative or positive, depending on the response they’re going for. And now you know! Be sure to look very carefully at just what kind of movements the Stormtroopers make during your next visit to Batuu.

You may expect that all of the Disney characters have 5 fingers, but you’d be very, VERY wrong! If you look closely, in the animated shorts and movies Mickey Mouse only has 4 fingers, and his character in the parks matches this unique detail. Hey There Mickey! WHY does Mickey have 4 fingers? Well the AV Club notes that there are various reasons why many animated characters (not just Mickey) have 4 fingers. Part of it could do with making things easier to draw. Having one less finger to draw means just a little bit less work which means things can go faster and potentially cost less money. But there’s more to it than just that. Reportedly, Walt Disney once said, “Using five fingers would have made Mickey’s hands look like a bunch of bananas.” So it seems there were some aesthetic concerns as well given how rounded fingers looked on a rounded palm. We LOVE Mickey Mouse! But (as we noted above) Mickey isn’t alone. If you look carefully, Olaf… Olaf in Hollywood Studios …Daisy… Daisy! …Goofy… Goofy in EPCOT …and many other characters have 4 fingers! The next time you’re in the parks, see just how many characters you spot with 4 fingers.

Or get Rapunzel’s advice on your Instagram caption? Maybe you’re looking for some Twitter inspiration from Tiana? Well…you might be out of luck! It’s Tiana! Generally speaking, Disney characters are “stuck” in their movies, meaning they don’t really know about the latest technology, bands, and movies, since those don’t exist in their “world.” So don’t ask Gaston to sing along to your favorite Harry Styles song. But it goes even further than that! The characters are typically “stuck” within the film/point in time from which they’ve been plucked. So, for example, you won’t want to ask Cinderella about what goes on in Cinderella II or Cinderella III. And don’t expect Mulan to comment on the princesses she protects in Mulan II. Mulan But note that things can be a bit different for some characters, like Elsa and Anna, who got updated looks and thus (presumably) updated time periods to be “stuck” in while in the parks. Elsa The characters you’re meeting are typically from their original films, so they don’t necessarily know what has happened in the sequels yet. No spoilers!

Well, the next time you’re in the parks, see if you can spot any of the preferences your character friends might have for one hand over the other. Reportedly, friends of Mickey Mouse are trained to sign with their right hand. In fact, even those who are left-handed are reportedly trained to use their right hand when acting as a friend of Mickey. What a Great Autograph! It might not always be something that is fully enforced or fully in use, but it’s still something to look out for! And that’s our list of the strange rules and secrets regarding Disney’s character meet-and-greets! How many of these things did you already know? Which ones surprised you the most?
