It’s no secret that Disney loves a good superhero origin story. Buzz Lightyear We recently got to see how one beloved Galactic Hero got his start in Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear, and got to meet some adorable new characters along the way. The film didn’t do quite as well as expected on opening weekend, and a lot of talk has surrounded Disney’s decision to not include Tim Allen (who originally voiced Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies) in it. Allen recently commented on the matter for the first time, and now, another Toy Story actor has spoken up. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Hanks has shared his thoughts on Disney’s decision to not include Tim Allen — the original voice of the titular character — in Lightyear. Hanks worked alongside Allen in the original Toy Story films as the voice of Woody. Instead of Disney and Pixar asking Allen to voice Buzz once again for Lightyear, Chris Evans was cast in the role of the young Galactic Hero. ALBERTO E. RODRIGUEZ/GETTY IMAGES When asked about his latest film, Elvis, competing with Lightyear in theaters, Hanks responded, “Actually, I wanted to go head-to-head with Tim Allen, and then they didn’t let Tim Allen do it. I don’t understand that.” Hanks was reportedly also not asked to be involved in the Buzz Lightyear prequel. ©Pixar Recently, Tim Allen shared comments about the film, stating that “There’s really no Toy Story’s Buzz without Woody.” He later went on to say that he wished “there was a better connection” to the actual toy version of Buzz from the original franchise. The film isn’t about the toy version of Buzz, but the movie the original Buzz Lightyear action figure was based on in Toy Story. Lightyear is the first animated Pixar film to be released in theaters since the pandemic began in 2020, so head to theaters now to check it out.

Sometimes when you’re in Disney World, you just need a quick pick-me-up to get you through a long park day. If you’re not in the mood for coffee or soda, it might be tricky to find the right solution! Sometimes you just don’t want a coffee We’ve tried several different drinks in Disney World in the pursuit of non-coffee caffeination, including a Starbucks energy drink, and not one but two Starbucks refreshers. Joffrey’s Tea & Coffee introduced four non-coffee caffeinated beverages during the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival this year, and now, you can get one of those drinks at more locations! Joffrey’s announced on Twitter today that a drink that is a lightly caffeinated blend of wildberry and hibiscus flavors will be available at all Joffrey’s locations within Disney World and Disney Springs for a limited time! That sounds a LOT like the drink that made its first appearance at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival (which was called the Wildberry Wonder Refresher) this year at the Joffrey’s location in the American Adventure pavilion. When we tried it earlier, we thought the drink was really good! In fact, it was our favorite of the new Joffrey’s drinks for the festival. Wildberry Wonder Refresher Note that the Festival version of this drink had strawberries and blueberries in it, but Joffrey’s didn’t say whether that would be the case now. It leaned heavily into a blueberry flavor when we tried it last time, but overall, we thought it was refreshing and not too sweet. Joffrey’s did not share how long this drink would be available — they just said “a limited time” — so if you’re interested in trying it, grab it while you can! And get excited because the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is just around the corner! The festival starts on July 14th, and Disney has already announced what booths will be available this year, as well as what the menus will look like at each booth. EPCOT Festival Passports We’ll be bringing you live updates from the festival when it starts, as well as reviews of each booth, so make sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

On June 30, Disneyland Paris welcomed back its summer cast member party after a two-year hiatus. The party was themed to the 90s (since Disneyland Paris opened its gates in 1992!) and thousands of cast members gathered for an exciting night filled with unique Disney Cast Life moments.

Choosing a hotel is one of the most difficult choices to make during the Disney World trip planning process. Is budget more important? Or is it location? Restaurants?? Disney’s Grand Floridian If you’re visiting Disney World for the first time, you’re not alone if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the hotel options. So we were curious — what do our readers think?? We asked DFB readers, “Name one Disney World hotel you’d recommend to someone visiting for the first time!” We reached out on Facebook (go ahead and give us a follow if you want to share your thoughts in the future!) to find out which Disney World hotels are the most recommended for first-time visitors, and there were four standouts! Let’s get into it! Art of Animation Art of Animation, one of Disney World’s five value resort hotels, was one of the most recommended hotels by our readers! From the fun theming to the nearby Disney Skyliner access, Art of Animation could be a great choice for first-time visitors, especially families with kids. Not all Disney hotels are exclusively Disney-themed, but Art of Animation checks that box. Disney’s Art of Animation Resort One reader said, “My first stay was at Art of Animation and I loved it. Even though I’m an adult I loved seeing all of the theming and statues at the resort. The Skyliner is great bonus transportation.” Around the Art of Animation, you can find themes dedicated to The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Cars, and Finding Nemo. Take pictures with statues as you head to the Skyliner, which provides transportation to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Art of Animation Art of Animation also has family suites available for groups of up to six, so it can be a roomy and affordable option for families. A reader said, “Art of Animation suites. Great theming, food court has lots of options, and it now has access to the Skyliner. It’s a Value resort that presents as a moderate.” Family Suite at Art of Animation — Living Area Several of our readers said Art of Animation is a great option for young kids, especially if you take the time to explore all the statues around the resort. One reader said, “We stayed at AoA for our very first visit [and] I couldn’t have imagined a more magical first visit with the kids!” Take a pic with Ariel! Along with all the statues, Art of Animation is also known for lots of colors AND the largest Disney World hotel pool, the Big Blue Pool (as well as two other pools!). Another reader commented, “Art of Animation if you have little ones because it is so bright and vivid with all the colors and has multiple pools!” Big Blue Pool If you love a good Disney theme and need to stick to a budget, Art of Animation might be a good option for your first Disney World visit! 8 reasons you should definitely consider a Disney World value hotel! Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter or Riverside Disney’s Port Orleans Resort is a moderate resort known for two different theming options — either French Quarter or Riverside. Many of our readers recommended both themes as an ideal hotel option, with a few more votes for French Quarter. Port Orleans Riverside One reader likes both themes, commenting, “Port Orleans — French Quart for quiet, Riverside for the pools and more to enjoy.” Another reader added, “Port Orleans. It was my first and made me fall in love with staying on property,” and a reader noted that French Quarter “was quiet and peaceful after a day of hectic crowds.” Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter One of the benefits of staying at Port Orleans is the available Sassagoula River Cruise boat transportation to Disney Springs! A reader said, “Port Orleans! Either one resort. Great food and lovely boat rides to Disney Springs. We prefer French Quarter as it’s a smaller resort and less chaos.” Port Orleans Sassagoula Boat And if you’re into beignets, staying at Port Orleans — French Quarter gets you easy access to beignets at the Scat Cat Cafe! One reader said, “No, the beignets do not taste anything like Cafe Du Monde’s, but that’s okay, they’re still a good snack.” They ARE shaped like Mickey, after all! Is that enough sugar? We’re not sure. Ultimately, our readers said staying at either Port Orleans Resort is great for a first-timer, with most recommendations for French Quarter. A reader noted that French Quarter has “one bus stop, smaller resort when compared to others, and a boat taxi that takes you to and from Disney Springs.” Port Orleans — French Quarter So if you’re considering Port Orleans, you might want to lean toward French Quarter — but either side would be a great option for a first-timer! The pros and cons of staying at a Disney World moderate resort! Pop Century Another value resort made the list of recommendations for first-timers! MANY readers came to support Pop Century, another value resort located on the Disney Skyliner line. Pop Century One reader said, “Always recommend Pop Century. Love the rooms since they redid them. Skyliner is great. Theming is fun but not over the top. It’s a good price point to put you in the bubble and save some money for other fun things while there.” Hippy Dippy Pool at Pop Century Another reader said, “Pop century! It’s a value resort but it honestly feels more moderate,” and Toni F. said, “Great value and theming, lots of food choices, and access to the Skyliner.” Disney Skyliner Station When it comes to the rooms, a reader said, “The beds were comfy and we really weren’t in the room that much. You pay for convenience and location,” and another reader commented, “Good value on rooms.” Full Room at Pop Century If you have a budget to stick to but still want to take advantage of Disney World hotel perks, Pop Century is a great option! Ranking EVERY single Disney World value resort! BoardWalk Inn And finally, if you’re willing to splurge for your first visit, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn was a popular recommendation for first-timers! This deluxe hotel will generally require you to have a higher hotel budget, but there are a LOT of conveniences you get there. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn The BoardWalk in is located on Disney’s BoardWalk, which is a short walk to EPCOT and the EPCOT Skyliner station, and it’s not a terrible walk to Hollywood Studios, either! And if you strategize your Park Pass Reservations, you could also walk through EPCOT to use the EPCOT Monorail to get to Magic Kingdom! Disney’s Boardwalk One reader had a lot to say, explaining, “I would have to say the Boardwalk for a first time visitor and here is why. With connections to the Skyliner and all of its hotels and destinations, a walk to EPCOT and the monorail connections, the boats, and the shops. You have easy access to three of the parks without ever needing bus transportation. It’s the one central location that connects you to almost everything. It’s literally the Kevin Bacon of Disney World.” Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Other commenters agreed saying, “Everything about Boardwalk is delightful,” and one reader even had a list of pros, “Boardwalk. 1. Walk to two parks, 2. Cool pool, 3. The Boardwalk experience for down time. 4. The bakery.” BoardWalk Inn Pool If you’re willing to splurge a bit on your hotel budget for your first visit, the BoardWalk Inn is a super convenient choice that could help you maximize your time in Disney World!

There’s been quite a buzz surrounding The Walt Disney Company recently, and more specifically its CEO, Bob Chapek. Bob Chapek At first, it was expected that his contract would be extended, and later the company’s Board of Directors did vote to extend Chapek’s contract by three years — despite some of the public’s outspoken dislike for the CEO. And now, more information has been shared about the details of that contract extension. According to a report from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Walt Disney Company CEO, Bob Chapek, stands to earn “a long-term incentive award having a target value of not less than $20 million annually.” This news comes after the company’s Board of Directors voted to extend Chapek’s contract, which was set to expire in 2023. Disney CEO Bob Chapek in Disney World on its 50th Anniversary The SEC filing goes on to state, “These awards do not guarantee Mr. Chapek any minimum amount of compensation. The actual amounts payable to Mr. Chapek in respect of such opportunities will be determined based on the extent to which any performance conditions and/or service conditions applicable to such awards are satisfied and on the value of the Company’s stock.” ©Bloomberg Essentially, Chapek’s bonus will be based on how well The Walt Disney Company performs annually. The report also indicates that no changes have been made to the CEO’s base salary, and it will remain the same despite the contract renewal. The current Chairman of the Board, Susan Arnold, has previously voiced the Board’s support for Chapek, stating, “Bob is the right leader at the right time for The Walt Disney Company, and the Board has full confidence in him and his leadership team.” ©Disney || Bob Chapek We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more news on Bob Chapek and The Walt Disney Company, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest.

It’s been a BIG week for the Disney Wish — the newest cruise ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet. On board the Disney Wish! We played, explored, ate, drank, and even slid our way around the Wish, and now we’re sharing everything you need to know. From Marvel-themed dining experiences to the first-ever attraction at sea, we’ve done it all. And now, we’re taking a look at ANOTHER dining option on the Disney Wish — Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods — so let’s check it out! Welcome to Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods, where you can nosh on some eats and treats themed after the Fab Five! You know them, you love them, but how does their Festival of Foods hold up? Let’s find out! Festival of Foods Atmosphere The Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods is a selection of several quick service restaurants, including Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill, and Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream. It’s kind of like a food court, and there’s enough food to satisfy a variety of tastes! Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue at Festival of Foods These restaurants serve food pretty much all day, and most of the food is included in the price of your cruise — so you don’t need to shell out extra cash for a lot of these menu items. Goofy’s Grill at Festival of Foods You’ll also find a barbecue sauce bar… Condiments …and a hot sauce bar as well! Hot sauce bar! Let’s take a look at the menus. Menu We decided to check out Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue on one visit to the Festival of Foods. Mickey’s serves BBQ Smoked Brisket Carving, St. Louis Pork, Smoked Chicken, BBQ Smoked Pulled Pork, and Smoked Kielbasa Sausage. Side dishes include Baked Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Sweet Potato Fries, and Texas Jalapeño Corn Bread. Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue Menu We also checked out some items at Daisy’s Pizza Pies, and there they serve up Prosciutto Pizza, Four Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Sausage Pizza, Margarita Pizza, and a Plant-Based Sausage Pizza. Daisy’s Pizza Pies Donald’s Cantina will scratch that Mexican food itch with build-your-own tacos, burritos, and bowls! You can get your choice of fajita beef, fajita chicken, pork carnitas, rice, beans, or fajita vegetables and a choice of guacamole, salsa, sour cream, queso blanco, or a Mexican cheese blend to top it all off! Donald’s Cantina Menu And over at Sweet Minnie’s Ice Cream, guests can choose between vanilla, chocolate, and vanilla-chocolate swirl soft-serve! Eats Since this is a quick service spot, you’ll just head up to the counter to order what you want! We decided to try the BBQ Smoked Brisket Carving, BBQ Smoked Pulled Pork, Smoked Kielbasa Sausage, Baked Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potato Fries, and Texas Jalapeño Corn Bread. Barbecue! Let’s start off with the meats. The smoked pulled pork didn’t taste smoked to us at all, which is essentially the main flavor in pulled pork. Most of the flavor came when we added in some barbecue sauce. The brisket was a little better flavor-wise, but it was somehow both fatty and dry at the same time! The smoked sausage was also lacking in flavor, and ours wasn’t very warm which didn’t make for a very pleasant experience. Yum! We did enjoy the mac and cheese, though it was your standard Disney buffet mac and cheese — not that there’s anything wrong with that! The breadcrumbs on top didn’t seem to be “baked” in and were just kind of sprinkled on top. The sweet potato fries were probably our favorite item on this plate. They were perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. Mac and cheese The Texas Jalapeño Cornbread was a little dry on the inside, but had a good flavor overall. There wasn’t too much spice from the addition of the jalapeño, it was more like a hint of flavor was there. It could have been a little warmer and we probably would have enjoyed it more! Overall, Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue didn’t impress us this time. Texas Jalapeno Corn Bread We also tried a slice from Daisy’s Pizza Pies! We went with the Margherita Pizza, which is made with San Marzano tomato sauce, vine tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. Overall, it wasn’t anything TOO special — but it absolutely hit the spot! You can get fresh slices here, and if the kind you want isn’t ready, the Cast Members can make it in 7 minutes! This would be a great spot for picky eaters or late night pizza cravings. Margherita Pizza Over at Donald’s Cantina, we decided to build our own bowl — and boy are we glad we did. This was by far our favorite of the Festival of Foods spots we tried. Think Chipotle, but Disney cruise edition. All of the ingredients tasted super fresh, and the chicken we got in our bowl was super flavorful and not too spicy. Plus, the hot sauce bar means the possibilities are nearly endless! Donald’s Cantina bowl And of course, to top it all of we had to end things with some ice cream from Sweet Minnie’s! This is your classic soft-serve ice cream, but it absolutely hit the spot. You can get chocolate, vanilla, or a swirl of both. Our only complaint with this spot is that we wish there were more flavors — but we were perfectly happy with the swirl we got. Ice cream We may be done eating our way around the Disney Wish (for now!) but you can be sure we’ll bring you the latest updates for this ship and beyond! Don’t forget to stay tuned to DFB for more.

The whole spa is considered the Rainforest experience, which is seen on other Disney Cruise Line ships but has been completely reimagined for the Disney Wish! Let’s go! You have to pay separate entry to go into the spa if you don’t already have a spa treatment booked — you can buy a day pass to use the spa without a spa treatment. So relaxing The space is beautiful inside, with greens and other earthy tones, as well as a ton of foliage. A look inside There are many places to sit and relax… So cool! …as well as special sensory spa showers around the space. Shower There are also locker rooms for guests to use.

The space has a ton of details — it’s way cooler than your average barber shop! Hook’s Barbery Hook’s Barbery has dark woods and leather, and small touches from Peter Pan like a hook, a map of Neverland, and even a visit from Tinker Bell! What fun things can you find? As far as services offered, at Hook’s Barbery you can get haircuts, shaves, nail care, and skincare. In case you need a haircut while you’re on the ship!

Inside Hook’s Barbery There’s a great seating area as well! Seating area So, if you need a little trim while you’re at sea, Hook has got you covered! Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, similar to the other locations on Disney Cruise Line ships and in the theme parks, is a spot where kids can get transformed into their favorite Disney characters!

Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling Hollywood Studios, the Tower of Terror is a star in its own right. Tower of Terror The attraction can boast some of the longest wait times in Disney World, as it’s extremely popular among fans. With that in mind, we were pretty bummed to see it wasn’t included in the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection. However, thanks to Loungefly, we just got a pair of ears that will bring us a taste of…The Twilight Zone. Over at Tower Hotel Gifts, we found the newest pair of ears themed after…you guessed it…the Tower of Terror! Tower Hotel Gifts The ears showcase the same red, black, and gold striped pattern we see the attraction’s Bellhops (A.K.A. Cast Members) wear. The headband also has a velvet texture. Loungefly Tower of Terror Ears And the glow-in-the-dark bow is probably our favorite part! It’s designed to look like the elevator’s numbers, with arrows pointing to the “floors.” The middle of the bow also features the hotel’s emblem. Still No 13th Floor! If you want to grab a pair, they’re available right now for $39.99. But we recommend you get them ASAP — ears this cute tend to sell out fast!

It’s no secret that we love Disney desserts. Dole Whip flight! One especially iconic Disney treat is the Dole Whip and like many Disney fans, we love trying new versions of it! Disney Springs is currently hosting Flavors of Florida, an event where you can eat and drink your way around Disney Springs, trying all sorts of items inspired by Florida! Today, we’re heading there to try not one, not two, but THREE Dole Whips that have been rolled out for the event! If you’re looking for a Dole Whip in Disney Springs, Swirls on the Water is the place to go. It has your typical Dole Whip options, along with some more unique flavor combinations! For the Flavors of Florida event, it rolled out three Dole Whip treats: the returning Watermelon Taco, an Orange Bird Dole Whip, and a Peach Bellini float, and of course, we had to try all three! Let’s dive into it. First up is the Watermelon Taco. This is watermelon Dole whip with chocolate chips inside a fresh watermelon shell. We actually tried this last year over at Marketplace Snacks, and thought that the watermelon slice was delicious, but the watermelon Dole whip was only okay, so we were excited to give it another try! It has been gone for some time, so we are happy it’s back! Watermelon taco First thing you need to know about this is that as of writing, it’s not listed on the menu, but you can still ask for it. We thought the Dole whip itself was very refreshing and the watermelon fruit shell was very fresh. We thought the chocolate chips on top added a nice crunch, as well. The chocolate chips add a nice crunch! As with any ice cream dessert in Florida, this melted fast, and it isn’t very structurally sound, so it falls apart easily. This wouldn’t be a great option if you were looking for a decadent dessert, because it’s on the light side, but if you’re hot in Disney Springs and need a refreshing treat that won’t leave you dragging, this would be a good option. It is $5.99. We also tried the Orange Bird Dole Whip cone! This is an orange Dole whip in an orange cone with white chocolate disc and sprinkles. Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone The theme of the new treats seems to be refreshing, because this Dole whip cone was also light and refreshing. The orange flavor is perfect without being overpowering and it’s nice and creamy. For $5.49, we thought it was a decent size for the price. Plus, how adorable is the Orange Bird white chocolate piece? Orange Bird white chocolate The one downside to this treat was that the cone got soggy very quick, and didn’t have any flavor of its own, it was just a regular ice cream cone. Since it’s a cone, you might want to consider asking for a bowl, unless you can eat it all before it melts or the cone gets too soggy to hold it up. Again, if you’re looking for a refreshing treat and you’re someone who likes orange, give it a go, but if you’re not an orange fan, we would recommend steering clear of this treat. If you don’t like orange, steer clear And finally, we tried the Peach Bellini, which is a peach bellini with orange Dole whip. We liked this because it was sweet without being overpowering and it’s really delicious if you mix the soft-serve into the drink rather than eating the ice cream and then drinking the bellini. Peach Bellini We thought the portion size was a little small, and the orange slice garnish was a little big and cumbersome (they don’t have the smaller slices yet). The orange slice kind of got in the way If you’re not into citrusy flavors, we would probably skip this, but we thought it was very refreshing with just the right amount of kick from the bellini. It is $7.99. Looking for even more Flavors of Florida treats? Check out our thoughts on the Blood Orange Éclair from Amorette’s Patisserie, or this VERY boozy Dole Whip we tried at Wine Bar George. Blood Orange Éclair And don’t forget that from now until August 5th, Annual Passholders can get a free Orange Bird magnet in Disney Springs.

Disney has been LOVING turning animated classics into live-action remakes in the past few years. ©Disney We’ve seen Aladdin, The Lion King, The Jungle Book, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, and we’re soon getting Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid, among others. We also got Beauty and the Beast, but apparently Disney isn’t done with the iconic story just yet! Beauty and the Beast is going to be LIVE on ABC! The network is making a two-hour, live action/animated special that will have a new cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It will air on December 15th of this year and will be available to steam on Disney+ the very next day, on December 16th! ©Disney Jon M. Chu (In the Heights, Wicked) is going to executive produce the special and it will be directed by Hamish Hamilton, who has directed the Emmys, Grammys, and Super Bowl halftime show, as well as ABC’s The Little Mermaid Live. ©Disney “Stacked with unforgettable performances, this will be a must-see special event for fans of the original and for the new generation being introduced to this cherished tale,” said President of Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment Craig Erwich, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The live Beauty and the Beast will have never-before-seen musical performances, as well as new sets and costumes. The performances will pay homage to the original film while also adding to its iconic story. ©Disney The special is in honor of the 30th anniversary of the animated film’s Academy Award nomination. It was the first animated feature to earn an Academy Award nomination for best picture and ended up winning Oscars for its score and original song. ©Disney There isn’t any word yet on who will be playing the roles from the story. This, of course, will be different from the live-action Beauty and the Beast film Disney made back in 2017, which starred Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as The Beast. It’s also important to note that this project is happening while another Beauty and the Beast project has been put on hold — the Gaston and LeFou prequel series that Disney+ was making. ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any casting announcements, so stay tuned to DFB for news and updates!

Disney World is on a ROLL this summer! Disney Springs! Just in the past few weeks alone, we’ve seen what seems to be an endless line of new snacks in the parks. With everything from Father’s Day treats to 4th of July specialties to menu overhauls, there has been a LOT to try. And now that the Flavors of Florida event has begun at Disney Springs, we’ve got even more new things to taste! From now until August 14th, over 30 restaurants and shops around Disney Springs will have special offerings for this seasonal event, and we’re here to review several of them! For one of those treats, we’re heading to Amorette’s Patisserie, located right next door to the World of Disney store. Amorette’s Patisserie Here, they have the Blood Orange Éclair, which is an éclair filled with triple blood orange mousse, topped with tangy citrus jam and candied blood orange. You can pick one up for $7. Sadly, our reporter wasn’t in love with this one. The filling barely had any citrus flavor, and there wasn’t a tangy kick to the jam. The pastry also became soggy pretty quick. Overall, it was very lackluster in our opinion, and too high of a price for what we received. Unfortunately, we were just left a big confused by the flavors and texture on this one. But like we say, your batch could be better! Filling and Jam We’re hoping the location will be redeemed by its other Flavors of Florida treat — the Blue Citrus Sauvignon Blanc Slushie. When we visited the location today, they were unable to offer it, but they shared that it would be available soon! We’ll check back for this treat to see if it hits the taste buds better than the Éclair. In the meantime, if you’re heading to Disney Springs soon, there are plenty of places you can stop to grab some delicious eats. The cookies at Gideon’s Bakehouse are incredibly popular and the homestyle cooking at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is a great option for dinner with friends. Disney Springs There are multiple celebrations to check out throughout the year at Disney Springs as well, with offerings for Women’s History Month, the holiday season, and many other special occasions.

Visiting Disney World this summer? If so, be warned — it’s HOT. You’re in luck though, as Disney World has a ton of treats to cool down with. Cinderella Castle Some are hits, like the Alien Freeze, and others are misses, like the Zurg Freeze (it’s hard to imagine us not liking a Dole Whip, but here we are). We’ve also seen some treats geared toward adults, like the Frozen Rum Runner. And, speaking of, a new frozen treat is available for Disney Springs Flavors of Florida — but you’ll have to be 21 or older to enjoy this one! Wine Bar George in Disney Springs has a large wine selection, small plates, and fun entrees. But today, we’re not here for the wine or the food…we’re here for the new Frozen Old Fashioned! This drink is an Orange Dole Whip(!!!) blended with Hooten Young American whiskey and orange bitters. Oh — and if you buy a Wine Bar George limited edition Corkcicle, you can enjoy a complimentary frozen drink! Wine Bar George in Disney Springs The drink is $14 without the cup, or $38 for the cup (as the drink is complimentary). Of course…we got the cup. It’s super cute! Onto the drink. You guys, prepare for booze! The main flavor we tasted was whiskey — which we didn’t really mind. Aside from the whiskey, we also got a subtle, creamy, orange flavor, so it wasn’t packed with the sweetness we usually get from other frozen dole whip drinks. Regardless, this was so refreshing on a hot day. Frozen Old Fashioned Overall, we liked this drink! So, if you’re a fan of whiskey, you need to try this out before Disney Springs Flavors of Florida ends on August 14th. And, for other summer treats, check out the full list of new summertime foods here. Or, check out our review for the summer shake we will buy again and again!

A lot has been going on at EPCOT lately — Flower and Garden Festival just ended, Food and Wine Festival is starting soon, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is finally open, and the transformation of the park continues. So, let’s check out what’s NEW in EPCOT! EPCOT Food Updates Fife and Drum Tavern The American Dream popped up at Fife and Drum Tavern over in the American Adventure pavilion. This is a Frozen Fanta Wild Cherry, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry Slushy. American Dream This treat was very refreshing and cold, while not being overwhelmingly sweet. You can get it for $5.75. Click here to see our full review of The American Dream! Sunshine Seasons At Sunshine Seasons in The Land pavilion, we tried out the new Red, White, and Blue Cake pops, which were only available through July 4th. Red, White, & Blue Cake Pops These red velvet cake pops are half red velvet cake and half vanilla cream, dipped in red- and blue-colored chocolate, and decorated with white chocolate and sprinkles. These were delightful little sweet treats! Click here to see our full review of these cake pops! Garden Grill Also in The Land pavilion is Garden Grill, who just added a new menu item — Barbecue-roasted Chicken. Before, this meal came with All-Natural Sliced Turkey Breast with Turkey Gravy. New chicken This chicken was kind of fatty and it is served bone-in, but it was cooked well and wasn’t dry at all. We also enjoyed the flavor of the barbecue sauce on top, but we do like the turkey that used to be here a bit better! Click here to see our FULL review of Garden Grill! Connections Cafe Over at Connections Cafe, the Liege Waffle got a patriotic makeover for the Fourth of July. It’s a Brioche Dough Waffle with Vanilla Icing around the edges, covered in Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles, then topped with a White Chocolate Mickey and Powdered Sugar. Yum! We already love the Liege Waffle, so this dressier version was great too! But, the treat was only available through the 4th, so you’ll have to just get the regular Liege Waffle now (which is still delicious). Click here to see our review of this Liege Waffle! EPCOT Merchandise Updates Creations Shop Over in Creations, we found the Main Street Electrical Parade Shirt we had previously seen in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You can get it for $36.99!

There’s almost nothing we love more than trying new food in Disney World! It’s time for Flavors of Florida! Whether we’re enjoying new snacks, trying new restaurant menus, or visiting one of the MANY EPCOT festivals, we like trying (almost) all of it! Today, we’re heading to Disney Springs to try two NEW menu items that are part of Flavors of Florida, and if you enjoy orange flavors you’re gonna want to check this out. Flavors of Florida is an event at Disney Springs that runs from July 5th to August 14th. It’s all about celebrating foods inspired by the state of Florida, which means — you guessed it — lots of orange! 2022 Flavors of Florida Naturally, we’re eating our way around Flavors of Florida and today we stopped by Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew for a new donut and a drink! The Citrus Dream Donut is an orange-glazed donut with white buttercream, drizzled with orange icing, and topped with an orange gummy and fresh mint leaf for $6.50. The orange in this drink is VERY prominent, and if you like orange juice you’d probably be happy sipping this. After getting a taste of orange, you’re hit with a hint of lemon, and it struck a nice balance that ended up making the orange flavor a bit more sweet and less punchy. It was SUPER refreshing and summery! Orange Lemonade with Sweet Cream Foam The sweet cream foam sits on the top of the drink and it has to be mixed in, and unfortunately, the flavor of the foam didn’t blend as well as we hoped it would. We think they were going for creamsicle vibes but it just didn’t work well. You know how they say to take off one fashion accessory before you leave the house? We wish they had stopped and taken away one of the three flavors. If we ordered this again, we wouldn’t mix the foam in. Sweet Cream Foam If you like the orange lemonade aspect, we’d recommend not mixing in the sweet cream so that you get more of the tart and tangy citrus flavors. Overall, we preferred the drink before mixing all three flavors together. That’s a thick layer of sweet cream! You can grab the donut and the lemonade for $6.50 from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs. If you’re looking for more Flavors of Florida offerings in Disney Springs, check out the Lime Garage Burger from D-Luxe Burger, the Orange Bird Dole Whip from Swirls on the Water or the Blood Orange Éclair from Amorette’s Patisserie.

There are a LOT of new eats and drinks in Disney Springs this month! Disney Springs Why? Well, it’s officially time for the Flavors of Florida event, where from now until August 14th more than 30 locations around the shopping and dining complex feature special offerings that celebrate the Sunshine State. And if you want to participate in the fun, one quick-service burger spot has not one, not two, but THREE special treats to try! Over at D-Luxe Burger, you can check out three limited-time offerings for Flavors of Florida: two burgers and one milkshake. D-Luxe Burger The first is the Lime Garage Burger (yes, it’s named after a Disney Springs parking garage ), made with a deluxe patty topped with pepper jack cheese, pork belly, and fried green tomato, served with an avocado, lime, and jalapeño spread. Doesn’t that sound delicious?! Orange Creamsicle fans, listen up. This drink is MADE for you. It’s so creamy with a strong orange flavor that blends with the more subtle vanilla. Ours was cold and very refreshing, and we thought the texture was perfectly smooth. Orange Bird Milkshake If you’re not a fan of orange, you’ll of course want to pick something different. And if you’re looking for a more complex treat with a variety of flavors and textures, this might not be the shake for you. But we thought it was super tasty, and the simple flavors made it a great option for kids as well! Tasty! The little Orange Bird decal on top is a white chocolate disc, and ours sank down into the milkshake pretty quickly. So make sure to snap your pics fast once you get this shake. It sinks down pretty quickly That’s all we’ve got from D-Luxe Burger, but we’ll be trying more treats all around Disney Springs for the Flavors of Florida event, so stay tuned!
