We have been awaiting the arrival of Disney Cruise Line‘s newest cruise ship for what feels like forever! ©Disney The Disney Wish arrived in Port Canaveral in June and will sail on its maiden voyage next month. Now we’ve got a big update on the cruise, and it looks like things quite aren’t going as planned… . Before the ship’s official maiden voyage on July 14th, two test cruises and a media event have been planned for the ship. However, according to the Orlando Sentinel, two test cruises that were for Cast Members and their families on June 21st and June 24th have been canceled. ©Orlando Sentinel According to Disney Cruise Line, the test cruises have been pulled to allow Disney to focus on preparations for next week’s christening event on June 29th, which will be followed by a 3-day news media preview sailing. ©Disney In a statement to the Orlando Sentinel, Disney Cruise Line said they want to put on the finishing touches and “test and adjust various components of the ship in advance of [its] maiden voyage on July 14.” Once the media cruise returns, the ship will have nearly two weeks to prepare for the first load of paying customers. ©Disney Although the test sailing was canceled, the ship did still depart Port Canaveral on Tuesday and sailed to Castaway Cay according to a ship tracking website. Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed they are still completing the required inspections for when a ship first comes to the United States. Reportedly that examination process is still ongoing. We’ll continue to look for more updates on this situation and let you know if any further changes occur. Castaway Cay!

When you think of Salt & Straw, what comes to mind? Cinnamon and Honey Fried Chicken Ice Cream and Deviled Egg with Smoked Black Tea ice cream Probably their unique takes on Ice Cream, right? With flavors inspired by Deviled Eggs, Fried Chicken, and Flower Petals, they’re constantly coming up with something new. And now they’ve created something truly unique. You remember that cheese nail polish we were talking about not too long ago? This takes things to a whole other level. Salt & Straw has announced that they collaborated with Portland perfumery, Imaginary Authors, to create edible perfumes! The companies have collaborated previously on their non-edible perfume scented after Waffle Cones. ©Salt & Straw You might be thinking “Okay, ice cream perfume for myself! Sounds reasonable.” And yes, this perfume CAN be sprayed on your body. BUT here’s where things get really interesting. These perfumes can also be sprayed on…your ice cream?! That’s right folks, forget topping your ice cream with sprinkles — it’s all about spraying your ice cream with perfume! According to Salt & Straw, ice cream technically has no scent. The ingredients within the ice cream may have a smell, but at the low temperatures, the smells are essentially “frozen in ice.” So Salt & Straw and Imaginary Authors partnered to create an ice cream topping to really give you that “all-sensory” ice cream experience. ©Salt & Straw The edible perfumes are launching July 17th, which is only fitting, as it’s National Ice Cream Day! Three separate scents will be available, including “A Cloud of Cocoa” (notes of Ecuadorian chocolate, malted milkshake, and Japanese whisky), “A Plume of Blumes” (notes of honeysuckle and jasmine), and “A Swoon of Citrus” (notes of key lime pie, lychee, and an Italian lemon grove). Each 65ml perfume is $65, but you can choose to buy the complete flight (10ml bottles) for $48. ©Salt & Straw If you want to grab a scent (or flight), you can join the waitlist on their website! In the meantime, click here to see how you can avoid the long waits at the store. Or, check out our most recent review of Salt & Straw! Deviled Egg Ice cream!

Uhhh…Disney’s been having some issues recently. Disneyland Within the past week, Disney World faced many struggles, like flooding, canceled shows, closed attractions, and more! And now, it seems like that bad luck has rubbed off on Disneyland, as they’ve had a ton of attractions go down today! When we say “a ton,” we really mean it. Just look for yourself! This is what our reporter’s tip board looked like this morning: At one point, Alice in Wonderland, Astro Orbiter, Autopia, Casey Jr. Circus Train, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, “it’s a small world,” King Arthur Carrousel, Mad Tea Party, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Splash Mountain, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, AND the Storybook Land Canal Boats were all listed as “temporarily closed.” And they weren’t down during separate periods — they all were closed at the same exact time. Disney hasn’t released an explanation for this scenario, however, one individual responded to our tweet to indicate that the closures could be due to a power outage. Another responded to our tweet, sharing that thunderstorms had passed through the area, which could also be contributing to things. Our reporter who was in the park said that there were some dark clouds around the area, but the sun was out at that time. Matterhorn Luckily, it looks like most of the attractions are back up and running, based on what the Disneyland app shows. Though, as of around 2:30PM ET we did see that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Indiana Jones Adventure were listed as “temporarily closed.” We’ll cross our fingers for smooth sailing from here! But this serves as a good reminder that things don’t always go to plan when you’re in the parks.

Disney sets reopening date of Star Wars Launch Bay, adds 'Encanto' character to Magic Kingdom cavalcade View the full article

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. Although many things in the world have returned to a new level of “normal,” the entertainment industry has continued to evolve as COVID-19 affects performers and audiences alike, especially on Broadway. ©Disney Broadway closed down in March 2020 and reopened 18 months later with several COVID-19 protocols in place. As of now, Broadway still requires all audience members to wear masks, although many theaters dropped their proof of vaccination requirement back in May. However, their policy is changing very soon, and here’s what you need to know. The Broadway League announced that they will be lifting their mask requirement for audience members in July, making masks an optional choice, according to WESH. CNBC reported that all 41 Broadway theaters will adopt this new policy. ©Disney on Broadway The Broadway League said that they will evaluate this new policy “on a monthly basis as we continue to monitor the science,” and “audience members are still encouraged to wear masks in theaters.” This change comes after Broadway producers have attributed low ticket sales to the mask ban. ©Lion King on Broadway Recently, NBC New York reported that New York City health officials have downgraded the COVID-19 risk level to medium, which means masks are encouraged around people with unknown vaccination statuses. ©Disney Aladdin The Musical Disney World also recently dropped all mask requirements for guests, although this could always change depending on the future of potential COVID-19 surges. It’s a good idea to review mask requirements depending on where you’re traveling so that you’re prepared for anything!

When Disney World brought back traditional character meet and greets, we were THRILLED to finally be able to hug, high-five, and get autographs once again. Hugs are back! But, not every character meet and greet came back at once, as Disney is rolling them out in phases. Disney just announced that even MORE characters are coming back to the parks, and we’re sharing everything you need to know! Get ready to get silly, because character meet and greets are returning to Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Magic Kingdom! This circus-themed experience featured Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy as the Great Goofini. Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Magic Kingdom Details haven’t been shared on when exactly this spot will reopen or if all four characters from Pete’s Silly Sideshow will be at this location, but we’ll keep an eye out for more news. Goofy in EPCOT Those aren’t the only characters potentially returning to Magic Kingdom either — on July 10th, guests can meet and greet Peter Pan and Snow White in Fantasyland! Disney also shared that Aladdin, Jasmine, Merida, Pooh, and Tigger will also be returning for meet and greets! We will finally hug Winnie the Pooh and Tigger again! Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests will once again be able to play with their favorite Toy Story toys, and get ready for the prehistoric party of a lifetime at Donald’s Dino-Bash! This Animal Kingdom meet and greet has featured Donald Duck and some of his friends in the past, and we’re so excited to learn that it’s returning. Donald’s Dino-Bash is a prehistoric party! Disney shared that we can expect these character experiences to roll out “in the coming months,” so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest news!

Traditional meet and greets have returned to Disney World! Mickey and Minnie That’s right! You can now meet and greet — and HUG — many characters in the parks again. We’re also seeing more meet and greets return every day — most recently, Mickey and Minnie started greeting guests again at Adventurer’s Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Now, Minnie will be joining Mickey in another spot to greet guests! Disney announced today that Minnie Mouse will soon be joining Mickey at Town Square Theater in Magic Kingdom! Mickey all by himself at Town Square Theater Even better? Like Mickey, she’ll be wearing her 50th anniversary outfit. This marks the first time that guests will get to meet Minnie in her EARidescent 50th dress! You’ll soon get to meet Minnie in this outfit! So when will Minnie join Mickey at Town Square Theater? Guests will get to see them together starting July 6th, 2022 — that’s just a few weeks away! Excuse us, but can we just go ahead and get in line for that now? Town Square Theater Want to try to meet ALL the characters at Disney World? Be sure to check out our full list of all the meet and greets that are currently available. We also would like to remind guests to be on their best behavior — be sure to read about all the rules you should follow during these encounters. Mickey will soon have Minnie with him here! Want to meet even MORE characters? You might want to consider a character dining experience, where you get to eat PLUS hang out with some of your favorites. From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (PLUS the Evil Queen) to the Fab Five to Chip ‘n’ Dale, there’s a little something for everyone. Just remember that you’ll probably need to make advance dining reservations for those experiences. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!

Launch Bay We’ve welcomed back character dining, on-stage shows, popular meet and greet locations, and so much more! And now, with the help of the force, we’re getting ready to say hi to some galactic friends…and foes. July 17th marks the return of character meet-and-greets at Star Wars Launch Bay in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Here, you can celebrate the stories of Star Wars, thanks to exhibits with costumes, models, concept art, and actual props from the movie. Launch Bay Starting next month, you can meet Chewbacca, BB-8, and even Darth Vader (!!!) at this location. Ever since we saw Disneyland was getting a character interaction with Darth Vader, we were hoping to get our own, so we’re pretty happy to hear this! Darth Vader in Hollywood Studios on Disney+ Day 2021 So be sure to get a warm, Wookie hug from Chewie when the meet and greets return!

Want to meet Disney characters for FREE without going into the parks or even stepping into a character meal? Well, listen up! Chip and Dale! A number of things have returned to Disney World over the past few months, or are set to return soon — from the the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue to the Harmony Barber Shop. And now Disney has announced ANOTHER special experience will be returning soon! Mark your calendars for July 6th, 2022! Why? Well because that’s when Chip ‘N Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long will return at long last to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground! Campfire Sing-A-Long As we mentioned above, the experience takes place at Fort Wilderness. During the campfire sing-a-long, families can roast marshmallows, sing songs (makes sense ), and meet Chip ‘n’ Dale! The experience as a whole is generally free, though you’ll have to pay for your s’mores supplies. You can bring your own marshmallows and sticks, or purchase a kit with everything you need right there at Fort Wilderness (generally found over at Chuckwagon Snack Bar). Campfire Sing-Along Area Once you finish your s’mores, are done signing those songs, and pay a visit to Chip ‘n Dale, you can cozy up under the stars for a Disney movie at the campground! Again, the campfire sing-a-long and movie are totally FREE! It’s an awesome way to meet characters without having to pay for a park ticket or character dining experience. Just note that the movies and entertainment are subject to change or be canceled at any time. Campfire Sing-A-Long Area So if you’re hoping to check out this experience, be sure to visit Fort Wilderness on or after July 6th! Wondering what other things are returning to Disney World soon? We already mentioned how Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue will be returning to Fort Wilderness soon, but you’ll also want to prepare for the return of Victoria & Albert’s in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the return of Fantasmic! at some point in 2022, and the return of buffet service at a character meal in Hollywood Studios! Victoria & Albert’s Place Setting There are a lot of things coming to Disney World in the upcoming months, so be sure to stay tuned for all of the latest details!

Regular character meet and greets recently returned to Disney World, meaning you can hug your favorite characters again! Jessie in 2022 We’ve seen many of the meet and greets return, as well as a lot of character dining, but not everything has gone completely back to normal. We’ve also seen the return of parades alongside character cavalcades. In fact, a NEW character cavalcade debuted in Magic Kingdom earlier this year with a ton of fun and unique characters. And now, a VERY popular Disney character is going to join the cavalcade! Mirabel from Disney’s Encanto will be making her debut in the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade in Magic Kingdom! She will be joining the fun on June 26th, so you only have to wait a few more days to see her! ©Disney Mirabel hasn’t made any appearances in Disney World yet, only in Disneyland, so this will be her very first. We love Mirabel! Mirabel will join characters like Miguel from Coco, Nick and Judy from Zootopia, Max Goof, Moana, and more in the cavalcade, which runs through Frontierland, Liberty Square, and down Main Street, U.S.A. several times each day. Adventure Friends Cavalcade If you want to see Mirabel in the Adventure Friends Cavalcade, make sure to check out the showtimes on My Disney Experience when you’re in Magic Kingdom so that you don’t miss it! There should be updated showtimes on the app every day. Adventure Friends Cavalcade Could this mean MORE Encanto could be coming to the Disney Parks soon?! Disneyland has already got the Mirabel meet and greet, and a spot for some characters in the Main Street Electrical Parade, but Disney World has pretty much only had smaller things like merchandise, short parts in shows, PhotoPass opportunities, and food for the movie until now. But, we have heard Disney executives say Encanto might be coming to the parks soon in a more significant way.
