Disney World is returning to normal! Chip ‘n’ Dale Traditional character meet and greets have returned, even more character meet and greets are coming back, and a lot of fun shows, like the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review, are entertaining guests again. Now, ANOTHER fun entertainment option is back, and this one is 100% FREE! The Chip ‘N Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long is back for the first time since 2019! For those who don’t know about this show, it happens at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. This experience is just what it says it is — a campfire show where guests can roast marshmallows, sing songs, and meet Chip ‘n’ Dale. Campfire Sing-A-Long! Even better, it’s 100% free. You can either bring your own S’mores-making supplies or you can buy a S’mores kit from the nearby Chuckwagon Snack Bar. After roasting marshmallows and singing songs, there’s also a movie on the campground. How fun, right? Movies are back over here! The Campfire Sing-A-Long happens every night at Fort Wilderness, weather permitting. You can find the schedules of what movies are playing each night at the Front Desk of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, or you can call (407) WDW-PLAY or (407) 939-7529. Campfire Sing-Along Area Do note that the movie and sing-a-long could be canceled due to weather or other circumstances. So, keep that in mind if you plan on checking out the Campfire Sing-A-Long. But, this is still a great way to hang out with Disney characters without a park ticket! Chip and Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long Area If you want to meet even more characters without park tickets, you can also get a character dining experience at a restaurant like Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort or Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort (character dining is breakfast only, though). You can even meet characters from Snow White at Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Note that you’ll need to make reservations in advance for these experiences, as they fill up quickly!

In the era of social media, companies like Disney use all kinds of platforms to post news, share stories, and communicate with their audiences. However, the technology can also introduce new problems as well. Disneyland This morning, Disney experienced a major problem when the official Disneyland Instagram account was hacked, and the hacker created several offensive posts. Very early this morning, on June 7th, the official Disneyland Instagram account (which has about 8.4 million followers) was hacked by someone who called themselves “David DO.” They claimed to be a “super hacker that is here to bring revenge on Disney land.” Disneyland Account Following the post where the hacker introduced themself and stated their intentions, they published several offensive and racist posts. ©Disney These posts remained up on Disneyland’s Instagram for nearly an hour and were finally deleted about 50 minutes after the first one went live. During that time, the hacker also posted Instagram stories. Now, the offensive posts have been removed and it appears that Disney is in control of the account once again. ©Disney We’ll continue to watch for more updates on this developing story.

Staffing issues have been impacting a lot of different industries, including travel and tourism. Swan Reserve We’ve seen staffing shortages impact Disney over the past several months, but there are also shortages in places like the airline industry, which has caused many flights to be canceled. Another industry feeling major impacts is the hospitality industry — hotels in particular, according to a new survey. A recent survey by the American Hotel and Lodging Association showed that 97% of the hotels surveyed said they are experiencing a staffing shortage, according to Spectrum News 13. Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa There are over 130,000 open positions in the hotel industry nationwide and 50% of those jobs are for housekeepers, making it the number one position in need. Room at Disneyland Hotel This could have to do with the fact that independent cleaners can earn about 5 times more an hour than a hotel housekeeper, according to Spectrum News 13. Hotels are now outsourcing cleaning service to independent contractors, as hotels continue to be booked and they need to get the rooms ready. Old Key West Resort Disney hotels have been dealing with staffing issues as well, with Disney CEO Bob Chapek saying in early 2022 that hospitality has been a main area of difficulty. All-Star Movies Front Desk Housekeeping services at Disney World have been reduced since the global pandemic began in 2020. Right now, your room is cleaned before you arrive, but during your stay you will only receive light housekeeping service every other day (unless you choose to decline the service). It’s even less for Disney Vacation Club Members, who get service on the 4th and 8th days of their trip. And, we’ve found that the level of housekeeping has varied between different Disney World hotels. Riviera Resort room The housekeeping situation at Disney World could be due to staffing shortages and/or health and safety protocols. But, it appears that Disney hotels are not alone when it comes to shortages, as shown by the survey of other hotels. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge We’ll be on the lookout for any changes or statements made about staffing at Disney Parks. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.

A lot of talk has surrounded Disney World and supply chain shortages lately. Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station From missing menu items to shelves missing merchandise, multiple areas of the parks have been affected. On a recent trip to Magic Kingdom, we noticed that Skittles were missing from a few places in the Main Street Confectionery! But, instead of this shortage being related to supply chain issues, it turns out this might be because Skittles are CHANGING — here’s everything we know. The Main Street Confectionery is your one-stop shop in Magic Kingdom for all the sweet treats you could (probably) ever want. It reopened in 2021 with a brand new look and new offerings — like the Kernel Kitchen, a create-your-own popcorn mixing station. Guests can choose a type of popcorn and various candy toppings to go with it. Kernel Kitchen Skittles are usually an option for guests, but as of right now they are unavailable at the Kernel Kitchen. Because of this, the Dapper Dan Mix is unavailable as well! We also noticed that the traditional Skittles flavor was missing from the bulk candy section. Missing from the bulk section too. But oddly enough, individual packs of Skittles were still for sale at the Main Street Confectionery. So, what gives? You can still buy individual packs of Skittles! We spoke to a Cast Member at the Kernel Kitchen who shared that the shortage may only be affecting the “bulk” Skittles at the moment, because the company is in the process of changing the Green Skittle from green apple back to its original lime flavor. You can see that the individual Skittles packs have lime instead of green apple! Lime is back! The Cast Member wasn’t sure when Skittles would return to the popcorn station or bulk candy wall at the Confectionery, but we’ll keep an eye out for updates. Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news! Another Character Meal is RETURNING to Magic Kingdom! Thinking about making Disney World vacation plans? There are some exciting events coming up, like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival! Plus, the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is returning later this year as well.

Character dining is one of our favorite ways to eat. Characters + good food = perfect combo. Poet Minnie at Topolino’s Terrace While many character dining spots have returned to Disney World, several restaurants had yet to see Mickey or Minnie visiting with diners since 2020. But that’s changing now, and here’s what you need to know! Back in February, buffet dining returned to Cape May Cafe in Disney’s Beach Club Resort, but character dining did not yet come back. Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast was a popular character dining breakfast, with characters like Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy dressed up for a day at the beach. Cape May Cafe Today Disney announced that Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast is coming back!! On October 4th, guests will once again be able to dine with Minnie and her pals while eating breakfast. Minnie’s Outfit for her Beach Bash Breakfast at Cape May The Cape May Cafe breakfast buffet costs $25 per adult and $14 per child, and you can eat favorite dishes like the Salted Caramel “Beach Buns,“ Mickey AND Minnie Waffles, Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy, and lots more. As a bonus, Cape May is one of the cheapest buffets in Disney World. Breakfast at Cape May Cafe Reservations are not yet open for October 4th but they should open on August 5th, which is 60 days before October 4th. You might want to mark your calendar and get ready — but keep following DFB for updates in case this changes! Read about another spot character dining is returning to!

Stunning Disney has now announced that the friendship celebration will be BACK at Crystal Palace soon! Starting September 20th, 2022, some friends from the Hundred Acre Wood will be coming back to this restaurant!

Are you ever curious about how much money Disney as a company is making? Walt Disney Company Logo ©Disney It costs a lot of money to run a company that owns multiple streaming platforms, theme parks all over the world, and movie and television studios, among many other things. But, Disney does make a profit, which they share during an earnings call 4 times each year. And now, we know when the next call will be taking place! The Walt Disney Company’s Quarter 3 earnings call will take place on Wednesday, August 10th, at 4:30PM ET. The call will happen via a live audio webcast, as the other calls have in the past. ©Disney || Bob Chapek During these earnings calls, we usually get some insight from Disney executives about how the company is doing. For example, Disney CEO Bob Chapek in the past has commented on Genie+, the Park Pass Reservation System, and more. We also typically get an updated subscriber count for Disney+.

The Disney Wish has officially set sail — and we were on board to check it all out! Mickey and Minnie on the Wish! From attractions to dining, we’re showing you everything there is to do aboard the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship. We’ve already taken you on a tour of some of the most lavish staterooms available, and we’ve even checked out the Avengers-themed dining experience. But now, we hope you’re thirsty because we’re heading down to The Bayou! Immersive theming? Yeah — this spot checks off that box. When we walked into The Bayou, we followed the classic “always look up” tip that one must do when it comes to Disney. And boy, are we glad we did. Up above, we found blossoms, lily pads, and twinkling fireflies. Atmosphere As you might have guessed, this lounge is themed after Disney’s Princess and the Frog movie, which takes place in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Princess Tiana operates a restaurant in the film, so it’s only fitting that she’d get a spot on the Wish. The Bayou We were immediately transported into the prettiest swamp we’ve ever seen, via Disney’s iconic, innovative theming. The Bayou The subtle nods to The Princess and the Frog are everywhere you look, from the green accent colors to the flowers, and that makes for a really elegant experience. Seriously, how gorgeous is this bar? But let’s not forget what we’re here for — the drinks! The Bayou was packed with New Orleans-inspired refreshments and we couldn’t wait to try a few. Eats We decided to start out with the Hurricane, a New Orleans classic cocktail. It’s made with Bayou Reserve Rum, passionfruit, and lime. The Hurricane — a New Orleans classic It was a pretty standard fruity cocktail, but we enjoyed it. Definitely a “vacation drink” — but if you’re not into sweet or fruity cocktails, this isn’t the one for you. Delicious We also tried the Orleans Crusta. This was made with Hennessey, Grand Marnier, Luxardo, and Angostura Bitters. It was a pretty orange-forward drink thanks to the Grand Marnier, so if citrus isn’t your thing we would probably skip this. Orleans Crusta The Luxardo and Grand Marnier combination made this a pretty sweet cocktail too, though it wasn’t as sweet as the Hurricane. Pretty sweet We also tried the Absinthe Frappé — made with Pernod Absinthe, Anisette, Abita Vanilla Cream Soda. Absinthe Frappe We had pretty high hopes for this cocktail, but ultimately we found it lacking. We were hoping the vanilla cream soda would add a nice creaminess, but the bitterness of the Absinthe was the main thing we tasted and it felt more like an aperitif or palate cleanser than a drink we’d want to sip on. Not as great as we had hoped And of course, it wouldn’t be a New Orleans-themed bar without beignets! These came with an order of three and a chocolate dipping sauce. When we tried them at first, the chocolate sauce tasted like Hershey’s Syrup, but then later in the day it just tasted like melted chocolate, so there might be some inconsistency here. Beignets at The Bayou The beignets themselves weren’t super great either, and didn’t taste fresh or warm — but they’d probably do the trick if you’ve just really got a beignet craving. As far as Disney beignets go, these wouldn’t be at the top of our list. Especially when you consider that beignets are supposed to be Princess Tiana’s specialty, you’d think that The Bayou would want theirs to be excellent. Not the best Disney beignets. And we absolutely have to mention the live music! It was like the cherry on top of this location’s theme. What’s better than live jazz music in a New Orleans-themed bar?! Live jazz music Overall When it comes down to it, this location was an amazing spot to grab a drink, and immersed us into…well, The Bayou! We think this is a great option for guests looking to have a nice cocktail in an upscale but not fussy setting. Plus, we loved the live music! It made the Bayou a popular spot, and this would be an excellent place to have a nightcap or finish off a great night.
