It’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays… right? Christmas Decor at Hollywood Studios Disney recently announced so much holiday news! For example, we know that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning to the Magic Kingdom this year, and that the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will be returning, as well. Disney also gave us a sneak peek at the merchandise we can expect this holiday season, including two new pairs of ears! The entire holiday collection is truly something, but these ears were certainly a choice. First up, we have the Toy Story holiday ears. ©Disney These ears feature a green, purple, and orange headband and bow with a Christmas present on the center of the bow. The ears themselves are made to look like Christmas ornaments, with Hamm the piggy bank in one ornament and Bo Peep’s sheep in the other. We’re really not sure where this design came from, but we’re not mad about it (and even kind of like it!). These ears definitely get bonus points for originality. If you’re not the biggest Toy Story fan, Disney will also be releasing a more traditional pair of ears, as well. ©Disney These ears are much simpler and classic-looking than the holiday Minnie ears we’ve seen before, with just a green velvet headband and ears, red bow, and white pom detailing in the center of the bow and along the edges of the ears. But sometimes, simpler isn’t always better. The pom pom in the center of the bow is pretty big and there’s something just a little off about the green color (dare we say it kind of reminds us of grass?). They definitely are very vintage-looking though, so if that’s the vibe you’re going for this holiday season, you might be a fan! Both ears are definitely something you’ll either love or hate. If Minnie ears aren’t your thing, don’t worry, because Disney has you covered with two new spirit jerseys, a Loungefly backpack, and tons of Christmas ornaments. ©Disney And if you’re in the Disney parks starting today through this weekend, you can get a jumpstart on the holiday cheer with some limited time Halfway to Holidays treats in both Disney World and Disneyland Resort.

At Disney World, things are constantly changing. Chefs De France That’s true even in Disney World restaurants. New foods are always appearing, special snacks pop up for holidays and other occasions, and even menus sometimes get a complete overhaul. Today, we’ve got some menu changes to share with you at an EPCOT restaurant. The restaurant is Chefs de France, located in the France Pavilion. If you’ve never been there, it’s an authentic French bistro where you can dine on classics such as escargot, French onion soup, and profiteroles. However, if you plan on dining there soon, we’ve got some menu changes you need to be aware of. Chefs de France Spread Let’s start with Appetizers: the Salade aux lardons et croûtons has a minor description change. Instead of having diced smoked bacon and homemade croutons, it’s now described as just Selected greens, house vinaigrette dressing, bacon, tomatoes, croutons. Inside Chefs de France Here’s what’s been updated with Entrees: ADDED: Brochette de crevettes à la Basque, sauce Aurore — Large shrimps marinated in tomato & garlic griddled served on corn, mushrooms, shallots, with cauliflower, tomato velouté sauce for $32 Filet de saumon mariné au vin blanc et citron, riz, sauce champagne is now described as White wine and Lemon marinated sustainable Salmon, broiled and served with rice, sweet peas & carrots, champagne sauce (the changes are sustainable salmon and the addition of sweet peas & carrots) and price increased from $33.95 to $34.95 Filet de Saumon Marine Auvin Blanc et Citron REMOVED: Salade du Chef au poulet ADDED: Gratin de macaroni — Macaroni baked with cream and Gruyère cheese for $24.95 ADDED: Poulet Fermier rôti à la Lyonnaise, purée de pommes de terre — Half all natural rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, tomato vinegar sauce for $31.90 ADDED: Boeuf Bourguignon, linguine increased from $32.95 to $33.95 Filet de boeuf grillé, sauce au poivre vert pommes purée et haricots verts is now served with Grilled tenderloin of beef with green peppercorn sauce, potato gratin, green beans (the potato gratin replaces mashed potatoes Filet de Boeuf de Grille Even the desserts on the menu got an update. Here’s what’s changed: Crème Brûlée increased from $11.95 to $13 Tarte au chocolat Valrhona, glace à la vanille is now served with Vanilla Ice Cream and price increased from $12.95 to $13.95 REMOVED: Salade de fruits rouges à la menthe, madeleine ADDED: Gâteau au agrumes, crème fraise citron vert, fruits rouges tiède — Citrus cake, strawberry lime cream, warm berries compote for $12.95 Desserts The Prix Fixe Menu price has also changed. This menu includes Choice of one Appetizer, one Entrée and one Dessert. One glass of Chardonnay, or Cabernet Sauvignon Georges Duboeuf or one Non Alcoholic Beverage. The price increased from $65.95 to $67.95. Some wines have also seen price increases: Sparkling, Veuve Dubarry, Cuvée Prestige, Brut increased from $35.50 per bottle to $54.95 per bottle and from $7.75 per glass to $9.95 per glass Pouilly Fuissé, Paul Bocuse, 2018 increased from $93.50 per bottle to $97.75 per bottle and from $19.25 per glass to $20 per glass Sparkling Wine The following cocktails now cost more, too: Coupe de Champagne increased from $17.95 to $18.95 Kir Royal increased from $18.25 to $19.25 If you plan on visiting Chefs de France, just keep these menu changes in mind. We always recommend to check a restaurant’s menu before you visit so you don’t get surprised if any of your favorite items have changed or disappeared. It’s also a good idea to give you an idea of what your meal might cost if budget is a concern. We post menu changes regularly here, too, so we’ll try to make sure you have all the updates you need. We do recommend making an advanced dining reservation for Chefs de France, as it is a popular dining spot in EPCOT. You can do that by calling 714-781-DINE or reserving directly through the Disney World website or My Disney Experience app. Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Even though we’re still several months away, Disney is already making big announcements about the holiday season! The Holidays at Disneyland We’ve got updates on the return of celebrations at Disney World, like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. But also, there are some exciting things coming to Disneyland Resort, and we just got details about some major entertainment options! Disney has officially announced that TWO holiday nighttime spectaculars are returning this year. First up is the “Believe… In Holiday Magic” fireworks show at Disneyland Park. This show features a medley of holiday tunes and ends with a magical snowfall around the park — something that’s not often seen in that area of California! Believe in Holiday Magic ©Disney Also coming back this year is the World of Color – Season of Light show in Paradise Bay at Disney California Adventure. It’s a blend of holiday tunes with classic moments from Disney and Pixar films, all highlighted by dancing fountains and lighting effects. We can’t wait to watch it again! World of Color – Season of Light ©Disney Besides these offerings, more fun will be returning to Disneyland Resort as well, like the 7-foot gingerbread house in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. We’ll also be getting characters in holiday outfits, new merchandise, and of course, plenty of holiday snacks! If you’re interested in spending the holidays on both coasts, you may want to check out our list of everything returning to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom in Disney World.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming BACK to Disney World this year! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party We just found out that the party will be returning for the first time since 2019, and there are so many things coming back with the event, like the fireworks show, the stage show, the parade, and more. We also got a look at the dates and the price range for the party, but now, we have a FULL LIST of the prices for each night of the party! The party will take place on 24 select nights from November 8th through December 22, 2022 and ticket prices will range from $149 – $199 per person. Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration Let’s take a look at the prices for the party dates in November. They range from $149-$179 for adults and $139-$169 for kids (ages 3-9). ©Disney And, here’s a look at the prices for the party dates in December. They range from $169-$199 for adults, and $159-189 for kids (ages 3-9). ©Disney Remember, like After Hours events, this is a separately ticketed event that happens after normal park hours. So, you have to buy another ticket if you want to stay in Magic Kingdom for the party, or you can just buy a ticket to the party. Tickets go on sale on July 7th, 2022, so get ready, because they can sell out! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Entrance The prices for this year’s party are less expensive overall compared to the prices for the Very Merriest After Hours event held last year in Magic Kingdom. At the After Hours event, ticket prices ranged from $169 to $249 per person. So, the most expensive nights for this year’s party are $50 less per person compared to the event last year! Club Tinsel in 2019 at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party If you don’t want to pay for a separate ticket to take part in the holiday festivities, don’t worry! Much of Disney World will still be decorated for the holidays during normal park hours. You also will be able to experience things like the holiday layover at Jungle Cruise (which becomes Jingle Cruise!), seeing Santa Claus in the parks, and get some fun holiday merch. This ride is a ho ho hoot! We’ll be keeping you up to date on everything having to do with the party and the holidays at Disney World this year, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

The 4th of July was already a holiday that many people traveled for, but now, after two years of travel restrictions, many Americans are eager to hit the road. Fourth of July photo op in 2021 More people traveling towards the end of this month and beginning of next month will lead to larger crowds at many major tourist attractions, including the Disney parks. So what can you expect if you’re traveling over 4th of July weekend? According to AAA, a record number of Americans are planning to hit the road this 4th of July weekend with an estimated 42 million people planning to take road trips of 50 miles or farther, reported Yahoo News. Cars waiting to get into Animal Kingdom In Florida, AAA is predicting that 2.6 million Florida residents will travel over 50 miles for 4th of July, with over 2.3 million of those residents traveling by car, despite record-high gas prices, according to Click Orlando. Gas prices may be high, but the price for airplane tickets have also increased and many Americans are choosing to drive this summer instead of fly. Magic Kingdom Parking Lot In addition to the increase in flights, many Americans are choosing to avoid flying altogether because of the ongoing cancellations and delays. Because fewer Americans are flying, some individuals and families who choose to take road trips are staying closer to home to help minimize the cost of their vacation. But after two years of fewer vacations, Americans are ready to get out, and many are saying that the higher prices aren’t stopping them from traveling this summer, they’re instead just modifying their plans to reduce the cost. More people plan to drive this summer than fly Even though driving may be cheaper than flying for some Americans, gas prices are still very high. As of Sunday, June 19th, gas prices were averaging at about $4.82 per gallon in the state of Florida, which is down from the all-time high of $4.89 that the state had reached the previous week. The national average is also now below $5 per gallon, but prices are still relatively high. Cars heading into the Magic Kingdom If you’re planning to hit the road over the holiday weekend, AAA says to expect the worst delays on Thursday, June 30th and Friday, July 1st. If you’re heading to Disney World for 4th of July, be prepared to encounter big crowds and high wait times. There will be special fireworks for the holiday in the Magic Kingdom on July 3rd and July 4th and in EPCOT on July 4th. Patriotic Pluto Photo Op on Independence Day in 2021 And if you haven’t gotten your park pass reservations for the 4th of July yet, the Magic Kingdom is already full for that day, so you’ll either need to visit a different park that day or try to park hop after 2PM.

If you’re a fan of EPCOT festivals, we’ve got some BIG festival news today! Festival of the Holidays It might be June but Disney is already looking toward the holiday season, and today they announced the dates of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays! Now close your eyes and imagine the holidays in Disney World. You may think of the Candlelight Processional or Santa Claus, but some of us think of something specific — COOKIES! And what’s an EPCOT festival without cookies? The 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays will open on November 25th and guests will once again be able to participate in one of the tastiest scavenger hunts in Disney World — the Cookie Stroll! Minnie Peppermint Cookie from 2020 The Cookie Stroll is an optional scavenger hunt for guests who want to “stroll” around the festival and visit multiple festival booths to try five different cookies listed on the festival passport. When you complete the Cookie Stroll, you can get a FREE completer cookie! The 2021 completer cookie! Disney hasn’t released which cookies will be included in this year’s Cookie Stroll but last year we were able to try a Snickers-Doodle Cookie, a Black and White Cookie, a Chocolate Crinkle Cookie, a Linzer Cookie, and a Gingerbread Cookie! Linzer Cookie The Cookie Stroll isn’t the only thing to return to this year’s Festival of the Holidays, either!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will soon see a CHANGE when it comes to one of the ride’s most important elements. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind As part of the ride, you go through a highly themed queue, several pre-show areas, and (of course) the coaster itself. While there are a bunch of screens and special effects to look at, one key element to the ride is…the music! Right now, you’ll get a random song during each ride out of a pre-selected playlist. But later this year, Disney will be changing things up in a special way! According to Disney, during the holiday season, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will sound a little DIFFERENT! During the holiday period, the Guardians will trade in their typical playlist for a “mash-up of seasonal jams.” Yes, you read that right! In just a few months, you’ll get to blast off to the tune of holiday songs, creating for quite the unique ride experience! We can’t wait to see what songs are featured. Which ones would you want the team to include? Tell us in the comments! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind It seems the Guardians are truly embracing the holidays this year.

Yes, we’re celebrating the holidays in June. Don’t ask questions, just go with it. It’s the Christmas season! (Sort of) Disney is celebrating Halfway to the Holidays this week, which means we’re about 6 months away from this year’s holiday season! Some of the celebrations include themed treats in the parks and BIG announcements about what’s coming to Disney World in November and December this year. We’ve already learned that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning! EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays will be back as well, and we’ve got more information about what this event will look like in 2022. EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays will take place in Disney World beginning November 25th, 2022. An end date hasn’t been announced, but the festival typically lasts through the end of the year. Along with the announcement that the festival will be returning, Disney shared a few details about what’s coming back as part of the event! Festival of the Holidays Of course, the holiday kitchens with festive food from around the world will be returning, although we don’t know yet which specific food booths will be at this year’s festival. Disney said there will be “mouthwatering menus of traditional and inspired adaptations of holiday dishes from around the world at special Holiday Kitchens.” American Holiday Table One of the most popular parts of the Festival of the Holidays is the Candlelight Processional, which is a Christmas show featuring a celebrity narrator and choir at the America Gardens Theatre. Disney has confirmed that the Candlelight Processional will return in 2022, although they didn’t share yet who the narrator will be. Typically EPCOT also has Candlelight Processional Dining Packages, so we’re hoping those return as well! Let the Show Begin Santa Claus will be back in EPCOT for the festival! Disney said the jolly fellow will “join storytellers from around the world.” In the past, we’ve seen Santa in the various countries of World Showcase, telling traditional festive stories from those countries. Norway Storytellers And one of our favorite parts of the festival will also be returning — the Holiday Cookie Stroll! To take part in the cookie stroll, guests will grab a (free) festival passport, which details the holiday kitchens around the park. This passport has a page for the stroll, with 5 empty spaces available. Cookie Stroll Guests will visit the booths that are part of the stroll and purchase a cookie (or more than 1!) to collect the stamps. Once you have 5 stamps, you can show your completed page at a different booth to get a free prize! You can try all 5 different cookies, get 5 of the same one, or mix and match however you’d like. We don’t know yet which cookies will be part of the 2022 stroll, but we can’t wait to find out! Chocolate Crinkle Cookie made with DOVE Dark Chocolate And a new holiday change at EPCOT this year is that the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is getting a festive update! Disney said, “the Guardians will trade in their classic hits playlist for a mash-up of seasonal jams.” Currently, guests riding this new attraction will hear 1 of 6 songs, so it sounds like those songs are going to be mixed up for the holidays! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT That’s everything that we know is returning to EPCOT’s 2022 Festival of the Holidays so far!

Here are our planDisney panelist’s favorite places to find holiday ornaments year-round at Disney destinations!View the full article

Ever since Disney Genie+ was introduced last year, it’s been…controversial to say the least. Disney Genie+ and Lighting Lanes replaced the previous FastPass+ system and Disney guests have lots of opinions about this change. Splash Mountain Lightning Lane We’ve heard a lot of bad things about Genie+, but there are a few things that aren’t so bad about it, too. We wanted to know what our readers’ favorite and least favorite things were about Genie+, so we went over to our Facebook page and asked them! Disney Genie+ replaced FastPass+ as the way you skip the line for rides in Disney. For a flat rate of $15 per person, you can choose which rides you want to skip the line at beginning at 7AM. Disney Genie+ can be purchased at midnight the day you are planning to use it and the first selection can be made at 7AM. Disney Genie Now that we’ve gotten that background out of the way, let’s get into what our readers had to say about the service. Favorite Part About Genie+ Let’s start with the positives! Many people don’t like how Genie+ forces you to wake up early (which we’ll get into in a minute), but one reader says that we should be looking at it from a different perspective, we should consider how much time it will save us later! “Getting up early to ensure that I don’t spend 2 hours of my precious day standing in a boring line is amazing,” they said. Who wants to spend their time waiting in line? Another thing guests like is not having to plan out your park day months in advance the way you used to have to with the old FastPass+ system: “I hated having to schedule my entire day with [FastPass+] 2 months in advance.” Tower of Terror Lightning Lane And many of our readers agreed that, especially as we head into the crowded summer months, it’s nice to not have to wait in the standby line. “We were able to ‘skip’ the lines on a lot of our must-see rides and I didn’t think it was too complicated to use,” one reader said, with another saying that because of Genie+ they “zipped through at least 6 lines in less than 5 min!” Least Favorite Part About Genie+ Some of our readers had some pretty strong opinions when it came to their least favorite thing about Genie+ with one reader saying: “Least favorite: That it exists. That is all.” Flight of Passage queue entrance One of the other big problems guests had with Genie+ was the fact that you had to wake up so early in order to make your first selection with one reader saying “getting up at 7am every day was a bit exhausting.” it’s a small world You can, of course, choose not to wake up that early and just book your Genie+ selections when you do wake up in the morning but then you run the risk of not being able to find a time for some of the rides: “a negative is that a lot of the rides are gone mid day…even when I refresh.” Many of our readers also cited the price as one of their least favorite things about Genie+. Line for Under the Sea Journey of the Little Mermaid Many readers also wish that Disney would still allow you to purchase Genie+ ahead of time, instead of at midnight the day of. One reader said “Right now, the fact that you can’t buy it in advance is my least favorite thing. That’s super annoying.” This is a recent change that Disney made to the program as guests were previously able to purchase Genie+ ahead of time. “I’d prefer to buy it and make my first reservation of the day in advance,” said one of our readers. Tower of Terror Lightning Lane Many of our readers also said it was confusing, mostly due to the 120 minute rule. The 120 minute rule has to do with when you can make a new Lightning Lane selection after your first one. It states that after you make your first Genie+ selection, you can make your next one when: You have used the first one you booked; Your first return time window has ended (if you miss it); or 120 minutes have passed since you booked your last one (or 120 minutes after park opening, depending on the situation). Guests say that this rule overcomplicates things and makes an already confusing system even more confusing. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Many readers also mentioned their frustration with not being able to pick the times they ride things. With Genie+, you are at the mercy of Disney for what time you’re going to ride something. “I wish you could pick your time instead of just next available,” one of our readers said. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is an Individual Lightning Lane Attraction Genie+ can be difficult to navigate and many guests feel as though it’s not a very intuitive experience. If the 120 minute rule is confusing, we have lots of resources that help explain it. If you’re not a morning person, or don’t want to wake up at 7AM while on vacation, you can try to delegate who makes the Genie+ selection each morning, or choose to wake up later in the morning and make your first selection then. Dinosaur Entrance If you choose to wait and make selections later in the day, but are worried about ride availability, be sure to keep refreshing and checking the app, because you never know when more times may be added. This is also true if you’re wanting to push your Lightning Lanes out later into the day: keep checking the app and you might be able to get the time you’re looking for. The best thing you can do to make the process a seamless as possible is to learn how to navigate the Genie+ system before you head out on your vacation, so once you get there, you know exactly what you need to do. So, maybe Genie+ isn’t all bad, but according to our readers, it certainly isn’t all good. It has many confusing aspects and makes days difficult to plan when you can’t choose the times you want to ride things.

Disneyland is such a beautiful place! Disneyland With magical spots like Sleeping Beauty Castle and Snow White’s Wishing Well, it’s not too hard to see why people love taking photos in the park! And while PhotoPass+ provides guests with professional pictures from Disney photographers, the time you get to perfect the shot is pretty limited. That’s exactly why we’re excited to see the new photography service coming to Disneyland! Over on Twitter, Disney announced that Disneyland will offer Capture Your Moment! This personalized photo session is a great way to celebrate any special occasion! If it sounds familiar, it’s because Disney World already has this service. However, Disneyland’s version will be much more expensive, coming in at $99 per 20 minute photo session. That’s $20(!!!) more than Disney World. While it comes with a higher price tag at Disneyland, it may still be worth it to some, as this service will give guests more time with the photographer, and a better chance to capture the perfect shot! ©Disney Keep in mind that the price doesn’t include the actual photos, which will have to be purchased separately. However, you can download them digitally if you have any of the following: Genie+ PhotoPass+ One Day PhotoPass+ One Week The photographers will let you know which locations are available before the start of your session (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is not offered). Reservations are available now, so head over to the Disneyland website to check it out!

Did you know that you can golf at Walt Disney World? Disney’s Palm & Magnolia Golf Course You can! Disney World has three golf courses; Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course, Disney’s Palm Golf Course, and Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course. Disney offers classes to young golfers, and DVC members can save pretty big on golf lessons as well. Back in April, we saw Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course close for refurbishment, and now we have a look at how the course will be when it opens back up! When the course reopens, holes 14-17 will be reimagined by Ken Barker, head of golf course design at One Club Limited. However, the details of the reimagined holes are subject to change, and more information will be released as the project nears completion later this year. The current plan is for all 18 holes of Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course to be completely reconstructed! Hole 15 Reimagined The current plan for each of the reimagined four holes is as follows: Hole 14 – Currently a par 5, will become a par 4, with a new green location Hole 15 – Currently a par 3, will shift location and become a long par 5, dogleg to the right Hole 16 – Will shift location and remain a par 4, but will now become a dogleg to the left Hole 17 – Currently a par 4, will become a par 3, with new tee box locations Hole 16 Reimagined Holes 16 and 17 will now be connected by a wooden bridge through the forest, and new fairway and greenside bunkers will be engineered to accommodate the shifting holes. PGA Tour stars Sergio Garcia and Gary Woodland recently got a peek at the new courses and both walked away pleased and impressed. PGA Tour Star Sergio Garcia We’ll certainly keep you updated as progress on the course continues. In the meantime, if you’re looking for other lesser-known activities to do around Disney World, perhaps go horseback riding at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, ride in a Hot Air Balloon in Disney Springs, or decorate a cake at Amorette’s Patissiere!
