While the saga of disappearing and reappearing Disney World snacks continues due to supply issues, Disney World restaurants have had a busy week, too. Troll Horns have gone missing from Norway For starters, we just got a first look at the changes we can expect when Victoria & Albert’s reopens at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. But we also saw MORE restaurant menu updates THROUGHOUT the resort, so let’s see what changed this week! EPCOT Tokyo Dining On the appetizers menu at Tokyo Dining, here’s what’s changed: Wagyu Wrap decreased from $26 to $24. Karaage increased from $12 to $16 Tokyo Dining There’s also been a change on the Cocktails menu. The Sake in the Violet Silk Martini has been replaced with vodka. The price has decreased from $15 to $12. Read A Recent Review of Tokyo Dining Teppan Edo We saw the same change at Teppan Edo. The Sake in the Violet Silk Martini has been replaced with vodka. The price has decreased from $15 to $12. Violet Sake Martini That’s the only change here, though. Read Our Most Recent Teppan Edo Review Disney’s Beach Club Resort Beach Club Marketplace You’ll pay a little more for one beverage at Beach Club Marketplace: Cutwater Gin & Tonic increased from $10 to $11. Beach Club Marketplace That’s the only change here, though! Read A Recent Beach Club Marketplace Review So we didn’t have a LOT of changes this week, but we still saw some updates. If you’re headed to Disney World and have your heart set on a certain snack or meal, though, we recommend checking restaurant menus on either the Disney World Website or the My Disney Experience app. We’ll also let you know when menus changes, so keep checking back with us, too.

What if there was a way to get to Disney World even faster? We’d all jump on that, right?! Oh No…Not Traffic We know how much of a buzzkill traveling to Disney World can be. We usually spend most of our drive or flight down wishing there was a way to teleport to the parks. And while that technology doesn’t exist…yet (fingers crossed), there may be a quicker way to travel soon! According to CNN, a Colorado start-up, Boom Supersonic, has unveiled a major design for its Overture airliner. How does this affect travel? Well, as the company’s name suggests, their goal is to cut flight time down, with their Overture airliner set to fly at twice the speed of today’s commercial jets. ©Boom Supersonic via CNN Imagine a three-and-a-half-hour flight from New York to London. It’s expected to be THAT fast. The aircraft is scheduled to go into production in 2024, and will fly passengers as early as 2029. The aircraft should have the capacity for 65 to 80 passengers. And it looks like it’s already sparking interest from commercial airlines, with United Airlines already placing an order for 15 jets, and Japan Airlines investing $10 million into the company. ©Boom Supersonic Rendering via CNN As far as environmental impact goes, the goal is for the aircraft to be run 100% on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). United Airlines has already aligned with that mission by pledging to fly their Overture fleet with SAF. ©Boom Supersonic Rendering via CNN We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any movement on this front, as these Overture aircrafts have the potential to change flights for the better! While we wait for supersonic travel to come to fruition, take a look at why you should skip flying at Orlando International Airport. Or, check out why you might want to skip flying entirely and just drive down to Disney World. Driving to Disney World And, as always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!

Sharks are friends…not predators? ©Walt Disney Studios Over in Disney Springs, there’s no shortage of treats to choose from — ice cream, gelato, cookies, Dole Whips…you get the point. But one of the treats in Disney Springs is actually doing its part to help educate us on sharks, conserve the shark population, AND give us something to nibble on. Gideon’s Bakehouse took to Instagram to help spread their love and appreciation for sharks. Their main message? “Sharks have feelings too.” Take a look: Their goal is to give the University of Miami Shark Research Lab some donations, so if you want to help them in their endeavor, you can assist in three ways! First, you can grab a Rocky Road Cookie this week, which is a triple chocolate candied almond roasted marshmallow cookie. It’s also a limited time item, which will only appear one week this year — this week! Like other cookies, the limit is 2 per person. ©Gideon’s Bakehouse We’ve tried this cookie before and it was delicious, of course! The marshmallows on top were toasted nicely and the cookie itself was FULL of chocolate. If you love the Rocky Road ice cream flavor, this might be your new favorite cookie! Rocky Road Cookie…YUM! You can also grab an 11×14 Signed Victor Print online for $60. They’re already available online, and will ship in mid August. And in stores, there’s an 8×10 version that’s signed and ready to go for $25. ©Gideon’s Bakehouse The last way Gideon’s Bakehouse recommends helping is by donating directly at sharkresearch.rsmas.miami.edu/donate⁣.

She’s back! Hi, Merida!!! The Scottish princess! Merida was promising the kids she met that she would NOT turn them into bears in the heat.

And while some of the items can be found around Disney World immediately upon the set’s release, others take time to arrive — like the Loungefly Backpack from the “it’s a small world” collection. And, speaking of, we found that backpack in Disney’s Animal Kingdom recently! While we stopped by Discovery Trading, we spotted the “it’s a small world” Loungefly Backpack for $85! The bag is just as colorful and fun as the attraction, with purple sequins and a pink front pocket (with Mickey’s buttons, of course)… “it’s a small world’ Loungefly …an “it’s a small world” design on one ear… Left Ear …the clock design on the other ear… Right Ear …and clock numbers on both the left… Left Side …and right side. Right Side So, if you’re looking for a way to show off your love for this iconic attraction (or match the “its a small world” ears you’ve already bought from this collection), then head over to Animal Kingdom! And be sure to grab your own ASAP — these bags are popular, and quickly sold out when they were online.

Are you ready for the spooky season? The way this summer has flown by, it feels like Halloween going to be here in no time. If you were thinking about visiting Disney World for the holiday, you’ll need to get started on planning that trip ASAP. Don’t worry — we’re here to help you out! Halloween in Disney World | 2021 Disney World is a lot of fun during Halloween, with extra snacks, ride overlays, and a big party in Magic Kingdom. But the exciting additions can also mean increased expenses. To give you a better idea about the cost of a trip this time of year, we’re breaking down the budget to find out how much it would cost a family of 4 to do Halloween at Disney World. For this experiment, we’re planning a trip for a hypothetical family of 4. There are 2 adults and 2 kids in the family, with one of the kids being 12 years old and the other 7 years old. With those ages, the 12-year-old will be considered an “adult” for many Disney prices. For example, they’ll need an adult park ticket. Because Disney often reserves child pricing for kids ages 9 and under, the 7-year-old will be the only one with that lower pricing. Halloween decorations | 2021 We’ll say that the family is visiting Disney World from October 28th through October 31st. Since they want to be in the parks all day on Halloween, they’ll wait to go home until November 1st. That means they’ll need park tickets for 4 days and a hotel reservation for 4 nights. Halloween in Magic Kingdom | 2021 This family is going to fly to Disney World, but we know that many people choose to drive instead. You can check out flight prices and compare those with current gasoline prices in order to decide which mode of transportation is best for your group. We’ll show you the total prices both with and without the flight prices included so that you can see the difference. Flights We used the Hopper app to look for the lowest prices when it comes to flying to the Orlando International Airport. We checked a few different airlines at a few different airports around the US. The prices in our list are round-trip ticket prices for 1 person. Let’s go to Disney World! The lowest prices were found at the Atlanta, GA, airport, and the highest prices were at the Los Angeles airport: Atlanta, GA (ATL) to Orlando International Airport: Frontier Airlines – $89; Spirit Airlines – $90; Delta Air Lines – $177 Chicago Midway (MDW) to Orlando International Airport: Frontier – $250; Delta Air Lines – $332; Spirit Airlines – $317 Los Angeles (LAX) to Orlando International Airport: Spirit Airlines – $242; American Airlines – $368; Delta Air Lines – $468 Of course, the cost of a plane ticket is going to vary widely depending on where you live and which airport you fly out of. For the purposes of this budget, we’ll choose a middle-of-the-road price of $250 per person. With 4 people in the family, that brings the total cost to $1,000. Orlando Airport If you do choose to fly, you’ll also need to consider how you’ll get from the Orlando International Airport to your Disney World hotel. This family will use Mears Connect — one of the paid transportation services that replaced Magical Express. Note that there is no longer a free option for getting between the airport and Disney World hotels because Disney canceled Magical Express earlier this year. Mears Connect Bus This service costs $32 per adult and $27 per child (ages 3 to 9) for the standard round-trip fare. That’s a total of $123 for this family. That brings the total cost of getting to Disney World to $1,123 Total Cost So Far: $1,123 Click here to see our complete guide to booking the CHEAPEST flight to Disney World. Park Tickets Of course, once the family gets to Disney World they’ll want to visit the parks! Let’s take a look at some different options for park tickets. They’ll be going to a park every day on October 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st. They’re just going to fly out on November 1st, so we don’t need a park ticket for that day. Animal Kingdom For a 4-day, single-park ticket, the prices are between $127 and $128 per person per day. This would mean that the family can only visit one park each day — they cannot park hop. ©Disney With taxes added on, that brings the total for four 4-day tickets with 1 park per day to $2,140.88. ©Disney If the family would prefer to use Park Hopper — allowing them to visit multiple parks in each day — the tickets increase by about $20 per person each day. ©Disney That would bring our total for four 4-day Park Hoppe tickets to $2,502.99, about $360 more than the single-park ticket option. ©Disney Because the family will be in Disney World for 4 days, they will be able to visit each park even if they only go to one park each day. For that reason, we’ll choose the 4-day single-park ticket option at $2,140.88 total. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Make sure you check the Park Pass Reservations calendar before you book your tickets — you don’t want to buy tickets if all of the parks are already at capacity! When we looked, there was plenty of availability for the end of October. ©Disney As soon as you book your tickets, you should also make those Park Pass Reservations. Reservations are free when you have park tickets, and that’s how you can ensure you’ll be able to visit a certain park. Total Cost So Far (with flights): $3,263.88 Total Cost So Far (without flights): $2,140.88 Learn more about Park Pass Reservations here. Hotel Reservations Next, the family will need somewhere to stay! We priced out hotel rooms at one of each of Disney World’s hotel categories: Value, Moderate, and Deluxe: Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort (Value): $159.75/night = $725.27 (4 nights with tax) Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort (Moderate): $316.25/night = $1,423.13 (4 nights with tax) Disney’s Contemporary Resort (Deluxe): $637.50/night = $2,868.76 (4 nights with tax) Remember that you can also choose to stay at a hotel that’s not on Disney World’s property, which could save you some money. You’ll just need to consider transportation if you didn’t drive, as Disney World’s free transportation only applies to hotels on property. Bus transportation at Disney World Deluxe hotels are generally the most expensive options, but guests also enjoy some great perks at these hotels. For example, guests at Disney’s Contemporary Resort can take the Monorail to Magic Kingdom, or they can even walk to the park! And Deluxe hotel guests can also take advantage of Extended Evening Hours, meaning they can stay in certain parks for a few hours past closing time on certain days. Magic Kingdom views from Contemporary Resort You can decide what’s worth it for your group and where you’d like to splurge or save. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort This family chose the Moderate option at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, mainly because this hotel has the Disney Skyliner hub, which means they can easily get to both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That could save them some time since they won’t have to wait for a Disney bus. Caribbean Beach This hotel also has some decent food options, like Spyglass Grill and Sebastian’s Bistro. Total Cost So Far (with flights): $4,687.01 Total Cost So Far (without flights): $3,564.01 See our definitive ranking of EVERY Disney World hotel. Food It’s finally time to look at our favorite part of Disney World: the FOOD. There are a lot of different options when it comes to dining in Disney World. You can have groceries delivered to your hotel room, dine at quick service (fast food) restaurants, or book table-service restaurant reservations. And of course you can’t forget about the snacks! Mickey Premium Bar We like to have a healthy mix of all the options. So this family is going to have groceries delivered for breakfast (saving them some money in this category), have a quick service meal for lunch every day, and have a table service meal for dinner each day. Backlot Express Kids’ Meal Generally, you can find quick service meals for $15 or less per person, and table service meals will cost (on average) less than $35 per person. Kids’ meals at table-service restaurants will usually be $15 or less. That’s not counting signature or character dining, which almost always costs more than that. For example, a steak dinner at Le Cellier in EPCOT will run about $60 per person, and breakfast at Chef Mickey’s is $42 per adult. Le Cellier Steakhouse For quick service restaurants, the family might visit Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom to get Hand-dipped Corn Dogs and Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwiches. Each of those meals costs $11.29. If you add a soft serve drink to each meal, that brings them up to $15.28. Remember that water is free at all quick-service restaurants. Chicken Waffle Sandwich On their Hollywood Studios day, this family might opt for Ronto Wraps all around (which can be found at Ronto Roasters in Galaxy’s Edge), which cost $12.99 apiece. Ronto Wrap Some table service meals that they might try are Yak & Yeti Restaurant in Animal Kingdom and Via Napoli in EPCOT. Yak and Yeti Restaurant At Yak & Yeti, entrées like the Honey Chicken, Kobe Beef Burger, and Miso Salmon cost between $20 and $36, while kids’ meals are each $11. Via Napoli has pasta dishes under $30 and several options for pizza that fit the budget as well. Via Napoli Budgeting for $15 per quick-service meal, $35 per adult table-service meal, and $15 per child table-service meal, that brings our total dining cost to $720. (Remember that the 12-year-old is counted as an adult for dining prices.) Pizza at Via Napoli We’ll add in a budget for snacks (because of course we will) and round that up to $800. Total Cost So Far (with flights): $5,487.01 Total Cost So Far (without flights): $4,364.01 Click here to check out the BEST Disney World restaurants. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party A major reason that many people are visiting Disney World this time of year is that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is finally returning to Magic Kingdom! So far, the only date that’s sold out for this party is October 31st. So this family is going to attend the party on October 30th. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party | The party includes access to Magic Kingdom attractions (some of which have spooky overlays for the occasion), trick-or-treating around the park, specialty treats and snacks, and entertainment like the Boo To You Halloween Parade. Trick or Treating at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party On this date, the party costs $179 per adult and $169 per child (the 12-year-old counts as an adult in this case as well). The party operates on surge pricing — if you choose to go earlier in the season, ticket prices could be as low as $109 per adult and $99 per child. The party runs on select nights from August 12th through October 31st. ©Disney With taxes, that’s a total of $751.91 for the family to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Total Cost So Far (with flights): $6,238.92 Total Cost So Far (without flights): $5,115.92 Click here to learn all about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Other Things to Consider A few other things you might want to consider include the cost of merchandise in the parks, special tours, and stroller rentals. Stroller rentals cost $15 per day for a single day or $13 per day for multiple days. Disney World rental strollers Souvenirs in the parks can cost as little as under $5 for a magnet or other trinkets and as high as thousands of dollars for designer collections. Make sure to set a souvenir budget before you visit so that you don’t accidentally spend too much on fun collectibles! Look at all those mugs! Disney World also has various tours throughout the parks where you can learn more about the history of Magic Kingdom, see Disney’s Animal Kingdom animals up close, visit the greenhouses in EPCOT, and more. These tours usually cost between $100 and $250 per person, depending on the tour and time of year. We expect the tours to book up fast around the holidays, so make sure to reserve your spot ASAP. Behind the Seeds Tour And that’s a wrap on our budget for the family of 4 trying to do Disney World at Halloween. Here’s a grand total for the cost of their trip, which doesn’t include the extras we mentioned at the end (like souvenirs, stroller rentals, or tours) but does include a visit to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party: Total Cost (with flights): $6,238.92 Total Cost (without flights): $5,115.92 Remember that there are other ways to save if that total still looks too high. You could consider off-property hotels, opt for a road trip instead of a flight, or cut back on the table-service restaurant reservations.

It seems like there’s an endless amount of new food to dig into around Disney World…and we’re not complaining. EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2022 You can find 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival eats and seasonal summer offerings — with menu additions sprinkled into the mix. So today, we bit into one of the newer menu additions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We visited Woody’s Lunch Box over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to grab the Chicken Salad Sandwich for $10.49. The sandwich is made with chicken salad, lettuce, tomato, and Dijonnaise spread on sunflower multigrain bread. It also comes with a side of potato barrels, tomato soup, or a Cuties mandarin (we chose the potato barrels AKA tater tots). Chicken Salad Sandwich and Potato Barrels This pleasantly surprised us! This meal is something we imagine most people could appreciate — it’s plain, has subtle flavors, and isn’t too adventurous. We also enjoyed the chunks of chicken we got on this sandwich, which we weren’t expecting! Bite Into This! This is a great option for the heat, as it’s served chilled! However, we have to admit we were hoping for more chicken salad and seasoning. So, if you’re looking for a refreshing option — this is a good bet! But, if you’re looking for something that fills you up a bit more, you may want to try something else at this location. We recommend the Totchos if you’re looking for a filling meal that’s smothered in cheesy goodness. Or, for a breakfast option, you should try the Breakfast bowl. TOTCHOS! And we’ll continue trying out the new foods around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

Can you even BELIEVE that we’re over halfway through 2022?! We can’t! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind So much has already happened this year in Disney World, like entertainment and character meet and greets returning, hotels reopening, and a brand new ride opening up. And while we’ve had a lot of fun already, we’re also excited about what’s to come — Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and the debut of the new MagicBand+! But, if you’re going to Disney World soon, you probably want to gauge how much time you’ll spend waiting in line for rides, right? Let’s take a look at last week’s wait times to see how things are going! This snapshot of the wait times for the past week, right in the middle of July, can really help give you an idea of what to expect if you travel to Disney World during the busy summer months. Let’s take a look at those numbers. Magic Kingdom Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 82 minutes! Mine Train!

Disney, please give us more muppets in the parks If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel or another Good Neighbor hotel that has access to Early Theme Park Entry, and are planning on using it for Hollywood Studios, you need to strategize! You can head straight to Rise of the Resistance, but that’s probably where most people are going, so it will probably be crowded. A lot of people will also go to Tower of Terror and Slinky Dog Dash. Depending on the crowd levels, you could potentially get Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster done by the time the park opens! Just make sure you have a plan going into those extra hours. Click here to learn about Early Theme Park Entry at Disney World!

How can you not fall in love with this little one?! Remember that during these summer months, Animal Kingdom can be VERY hot and the animals typically aren’t as active in the high temperatures. If you want to see them out and about, your best bet is to get there as early as possible when it’s a little bit cooler out! Trust us, waking up and getting to the park by 8AM is totally worth it to see those animals out during the safari! Click here to see the NEW MAP in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Disney’s future in Florida has been difficult to predict. Following Disney’s public critique of Florida’s Parental Rights Bill (otherwise known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill), Florida Legislators pushed back with the proposal to dissolve Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom The dissolution of Reedy Creek will remove expansive and operational freedoms for Disney, and risks placing the burden of municipal costs on local taxpayers. So, once Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill to dissolve Reedy Creek, many were left wondering what this would mean for the future of Disney World and its surrounding counties. Here’s what we know. We’ve seen lawsuits arise regarding this particular legislation, based on the concern that taxpayers would be expected to cover the $1 billion of bond debt that’s being thrown into the mix with the dissolution. Gov. DeSantis previously mentioned that the state would most likely take control of Reedy Creek and taxpayers wouldn’t assume the debt, but no clear plan was provided. Reedy Creek Sign in Disney World According to Bloomberg, Ben Watkins, director of the state’s division of bond finance, said the likely outcome will be a successor district created by legislators. It will probably assume most of the powers Reedy Creek held that allow Disney to perform municipal functions. With that being said, it can be expected that previously-granted powers that were never used, such as operating a nuclear power plant, will not be authorized. Reedy Creek Trash Cans Watkins acknowledged that Gov. DeSantis’ office has been “supportive” of the successor district option, although, lawmakers have the final say in what happens. If the successor entity is allowed, that means the debt will be transferred to the entity.

For more information on the background of this issue, check out Disney’s statement regarding Florida’s Parental Rights Bill. Or, take a look at the initial proposals to dissolve Reedy Creek.

Rocket and Groot We’ve seen a toooon of new merchandise around Disney World lately. Looking for 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival gear? They’ve got it. New Minnie ears? There’s a bunch to choose from. Attraction-themed merch? Yup, they’ve got that too. But what about a scented plush based on a…tree? Yes — that exists, it’s adorable, and you have to see it for yourself. Over at Treasures of Xandar in EPCOT, we found a new…well…treasure. We’re talking about the Scented Groot Plush! He comes in his baby form and smells like cedar (obvi) and cinnamon. Look At Him! You can grab him for $24.99! But be sure to get him ASAP — he’s super cute and smells good, so he could sell out fast. If you can’t get to Disney World, you can also find the scented plush online! Get the Scented Groot Plush without visiting the parks here! For more Guardians fun, check out our review of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind here.

There is so much that’s magical about Disney World. Meeting your favorite characters, riding exciting roller coasters, taking that first bite of a DOLE Whip…so many great things to experience. But what about the not-so-magical parts of the parks? Magic Kingdom Unfortunately, you’ll need to plan for a few less-than-magical realities if you’re going to Disney World soon. The weather might not cooperate — it can be very hot one minute and then storming the next. Or maybe a restaurant is out of your favorite snack (in which case, we can recommend a few backup options). And you might encounter some ride and attraction closures during your next visit to the parks. To make sure you don’t get caught off guard, here’s a full list of what’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week. Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World Railroad The Walt Disney World Railroad will continue its long closure in this park. The Railroad has been closed for a couple of years now, and it still doesn’t have a reopening date. Walt Disney World Railroad Main Street Station Some construction in Tomorrowland on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster has interrupted the train tracks. As a result, the train can’t pass through that area. We’re expecting the Railroad to remain closed until TRON construction is finished. Disney hasn’t yet announced a timeline for that project, but we have spotted some testing of the coaster recently! Enchanted Tales with Belle Enchanted Tales with Belle is also closed in Magic Kingdom. Enchanted Tales with Belle Disney hasn’t announced when this attraction could reopen, but we’ll continue to watch for updates. In the meantime, you can meet some Disney princesses at Princess Fairytale Hall in this park! Pete’s Silly Sideshow Pete’s Silly Sideshow is a character meet-and-greet location in the Storybook Circus land. Previously, guests could meet Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy here, but it’s been closed for a while now. Pete’s Silly Sideshow Disney has announced that the attraction will reopen sometime “in the coming months.” Keep in mind that there are a lot of other characters to meet in Magic Kingdom in the meantime. Harmony Barber Shop This barber shop will reopen soon, although it’ll remain closed for all of next week. You can visit once again beginning on July 31st. Harmony Barber Shop If you wanted to get your hair cut here, you can book a reservation now. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is also closed in Magic Kingdom, but it will reopen next month, on August 25th. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique This salon is open to kids ages 3 to 12, and they can be transformed into Disney princesses and princes. We’ll let you know when reservations open for this experience. Check out a NEW snack in Magic Kingdom. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Voyage of the Little Mermaid The Voyage of the Little Mermaid show will be closed for all of next week in Hollywood Studios. This show has been closed for a long time, and Disney hasn’t given any updates about its potential return. Voyage of the Little Mermaid If you’re looking for a Little Mermaid-themed attraction, head to Magic Kingdom to ride Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid. Fantasmic! Fantasmic! is going to be closed for all of next week, but Disney has announced that the popular nighttime show will return sometime this year. Fantasmic! billboard We’re over halfway through 2022 already (can you believe that?), so we’re expecting an update from Disney at any time. See the latest updates on Toy Story Land construction in this park. EPCOT Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360 It’s a great time of year to visit EPCOT because the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is going on right now! We’ve already reviewed EVERY food booth and decided which snacks are the BEST. One of the food booths at this festival has taken over the Canada Far & Wide theater, which means that the movie that usually plays here is not running. Let’s head on in! Instead, you can visit the theater to find an Apple Crumble Tart and a wide variety of apple-flavored drinks. We’re expecting Canada Far & Wide in CircleVisin 360 to be unavailable until the festival ends, which will be on November 19th. See all of our REVIEWS of the 2022 Food & Wine Festival. Disney World Hotels Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is going to reopen this coming week! The official reopening date is July 28th. A new look inside the refurbished restaurant ©Disney If you want to splurge on one of the most luxurious meals in Disney World, you can make your reservations now. Get a sneak peek at the CHANGES at Victoria & Albert’s here. Disney World Water Parks Blizzard Beach Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is closed, and Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date for this park. Water Slides at Blizzard Beach For those who want to cool off during their Disney World trip, you can still visit Typhoon Lagoon — Disney World’s other water park. There, you’ll find a lazy river, several slides, and some tasty snacks to try. Check out Typhoon Lagoon here! Remember that some attractions can close without much notice, such as if there’s bad weather in the area or if they’re experiencing technical difficulties. Check out our list of all the rides that close when it storms so that you know which attractions to avoid in that scenario. If a ride goes down, keep watching the My Disney Experience app to see when it reopens. You can usually catch that ride with a lower wait time if you get there soon after it reopens!
