Happy Father’s Day! Did you know that Disney World celebrates the day with LOADS of special snacks? Contempo Cafe Well, it does — so in addition to all the Lightyear snacks and all the Pride snacks, we’re trying to dig into some of Father’s Day snacks! It’s…a LOT. Some of these treats are a lot, too — we just recently tried a chocolate tart topped with potato chips, bacon, snickers, M&Ms, and more! NOW, we’re back with another over-the-top treat for dad. Okay, take a breath, because we’re trying something called Father’s Day Bacon Whiskey Caramel Brownie (say that three times fast!). It’s a Brownie topped with Bacon, Whiskey-Caramel, Dark Chocolate Ganache, and Milk Chocolate-whipped Panna Cotta. Whew, Disney just threw the kitchen sink at another snack, right? They couldn’t even fit the snack’s whole name on the container! So we expected a lot — maybe TOO much — when we finally dove into it. But you know what? This brownie surprised us! The texture of the brownie is a good blend of cakey and fudgy. The bacon and caramel add a nice sweet and salty balance, especially considering the chocolate ganache is SO rich. It’s got a LOT going on, but we loved it. We’re going on record as saying this is one of our favorite brownies we’ve had at Disney World (or maybe that’s just the whiskey in the caramel sauce talking). It’s also VERY rich and a good size for $5.49 — it’s easily shareable! It’s certainly the kind of snack that chocoholics like us dream of. Our ONLY complaint is we felt the chocolate ganache was TOO much — it’s already a rich treat and it doesn’t need any additional richness. If you want to try it for yourself, it’s available through today at Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. SO rich and decadent If you can’t get to Disney World in time to try this snack, we can recommend a few other tasty brownies that are regularly available at the resort. In EPCOT, we can recommend the Turtle Brownie at Sunshine Seasons — it’s SO good. There’s also the Brownie Pie from Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom. If it’s peanut butter AND chocolate you’re after, may we recommend the Nyala Brownie from The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge? We LOVE it!

There is so much new food coming to Disney World right now! Magic Kingdom We have special eats and drinks hitting the parks in honor of Father’s Day, summer, and soon, the Food & Wine Festival in EPCOT! But of course, we can’t forget about the regular additions that trickle into Disney World! And speaking of, Sunshine Seasons just got a new menu item, so you know we had to give it a try! We headed over to EPCOT to try the new Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwich at Sunshine Seasons! It has roasted red peppers, red onions, tomatoes, arugula, hummus, and balsamic vinaigrette, served on herbed focaccia bread! It also comes with a side of potato chips! (Spoiler: If you liked the Lighthouse Sandwich that used to be offered at Columbia Harbour House, you’re in for a treat!) Menu at Sunshine Seasons When we bit into this sandwich, the herbed focaccia immediately hit our taste buds, as it was packed with flavor! The peppers, onion, and arugula were tossed in the balsamic vinaigrette, which provided a nice, refreshing crunch. And the hummus? It provided a smooth, creamy texture to pair with the crunch! Again, this reminds us of the Lighthouse Sandwich that used to be at Columbia Harbour House, except it’s better, thanks to the herbed focaccia bread! Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwich We usually find plant-based offerings fall flat when compared to other options around Disney World, however, this may be one of our favorite quick service options in EPCOT! If there’s anything we would change, it would be the time of day that we got our sandwich! While we enjoyed the focaccia bread, it was a bit on the stale side. We believe that may not be an issue if we order the item earlier in the day, which we recommend you try to do, too! But overall, this is a great option for everyone — even if you don’t go out of your way to search for plant-based options! Mediterranean Vegetable Sandwich If you’re looking to grab your own, it’s $9.99! If you’re looking for another option at Sunshine Seasons, check out our review for the Pepperoni Pizza Roll!

You’ll also be able to use Disney Genie+ and pay-per-ride to access the Lightning Lane there. Before you book your hotel, though, be sure to read up on why you shouldn’t stay in a Disney hotel — there are plenty of cheaper (and often closer) hotels in the area at pretty much every price point.

Disney World is constantly changing, and the same can be said for Disney World dining. The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Dole Whip! We’re seeing new and returning snacks pop up almost every day. Just this week alone, we were reunited with our much-loved Dole Whip-Topped Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, ate a refreshing new Greek Salad (see? we DO eat healthy sometimes), and started thinking ahead to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival that starts soon.

It was a BIG week of surprises in Disney World! Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom From huge restaurant news to early openings of a character meet-and-greet and a highly anticipated show, we weren’t sure what else to expect this week! Find out all the news right here. Restaurant News Olivia’s Cafe Brunch Olivia’s Cafe at Old Key West Resort is one of our favorite places to grab brunch in Disney World, but it hasn’t been offered every day — which means it could be difficult to snag a reservation. But beginning on September 1st, brunch will be served DAILY at Olivia’s! Olivia’s Cafe Reservations for daily brunch are not yet open, but once they are you might want to grab your reservation! Try the Southernmost Buttermilk Fried Chicken and the Papa’s Hash, and wash it down with the Loaded Key West Bloody Mary. Also, there will be Banana Bread Pudding! Read more about Olivia’s Cafe daily brunch here! Mama Melrose Menu Changes Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano will be getting some NEW menu items as of late June! These dishes will be inspired by classic Italian cuisine, and they include new appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Mama Melrose Try the Fried Fresh Mozzarella as an appetizer, and for an entree grab the Grilled Bone-in Pork Chop or the enhanced versions of Mama’s Italian Pasta or the Sustainable Fish dish. And for dessert, new options will include the Mini Cannoli Trio, Colors of Italy Cheesecake, Mama’s Cookies To Go, and Blueberry Frangipane Tart. Yum! Read more about the menu changes coming to Mama Melrose here! Hollywood & Vine Buffets Also in Hollywood Studios, the character dining spot Hollywood & Vine is getting a big change. Although it was a buffet restaurant before 2020, after Disney World reopened it began serving a prix fixe menu that has repeatedly impressed us. But soon — things will be different. Hollywood and Vine Beginning August 28th, Hollywood & Vine is bringing back its buffet! For breakfast, try the Brioche French Toast with Banana Foster Sauce, and for dinner you can get the Slow-roasted Crispy Pork Belly with Guava glaze, or the Shrimp and Bacon Mac & Cheese. The character costumes rotate seasonally here, so check the calendar for what you could experience during your visit! Click here to learn more about buffets returning to Hollywood & Vine! Homecomin’ Closed Early Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ had some issues with hours this week. This restaurant, located in Disney Springs, serves some of our favorite Southern dishes, like Art’s Famous Fried Chicken. But one day this week, diners could not sit down for a Homecomin’ dinner. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ On June 14th, Homecomin’ announced that it was closing early at 2PM instead of 10PM. Normally, their hours are 11AM to 10PM. This was a one-day change so it shouldn’t affect your future visit, but keep checking back with DFB for any updates! Click here to read more about Homecomin’ closing early. Minnie Vans Returned Early Minnie Vans have not been available in Disney World for a few years now, but recently Disney announced that the service would return on June 29th. Surprisingly, we noticed that this rideshare service (which is available through Lyft) was showing as available on June 15th! Minnie Van We were checking the Lyft app when we saw that Minnie Vans were listed as available! The estimated cost of a trip from Magic Kingdom to Animal Kingdom was $43.08 when we checked, but prices can vary so keep that in mind. Click here to learn more about booking a Minne Van! Adventurer’s Outpost Opened Early There was another early opening this week! Or, reopening. In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Adventurer’s Outpost opened to guests early, and now guests can take pics with Mickey and Minnie in their safari outfits! Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost Adventurer’s Outpost wasn’t scheduled to reopen until June 19th, but the standby line was open on June 14th. The Lightning Lane was not yet available, but we’ll be watching out for future changes! Click here for more photos of Adventurer’s Outpost reopening early! Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! The biggest news of the week comes from the Animal Kingdom show, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! The show, which is a reimagined version of the original Finding Nemo Musical that was once at the Theater in the Wild, soft opened early on June 11th! Showtimes for Soft Opening The reimagined show features new set pieces, a new script, and even an LED screen background. But a few days after the show officially opened, a few showtimes were canceled, which was surprising so soon after opening. The Big Blue…and Beyond! And finally, if you purchase Genie+ you can book a Lightning Lane for The Big Blue…and Beyond! If you don’t want to have to wait in the standby line for the show, you could opt to book a Lightning Lane instead. Lightning Lane for The Big Blue…and Beyond Keep checking back with DFB for any more updates about this reimagined show! Come with us to see the reimagined Finding Nemo musical! July 4th EPCOT Fireworks And finally, EPCOT’s Fourth of July fireworks are coming BACK this year! If you’ve never been to the park on July 4th, EPCOT used to have a short event for the patriotic holiday following their main fireworks show (which is Harmonious). Fireworks in EPCOT Harmonious is still scheduled at 9PM on July 4th and Disney has not yet announced which nights this event could take place, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates! July 4th fireworks are coming back to EPCOT! And that’s all the unexpected news from Disney World this week! Keep reading DFB for more Disney news and updates!

There is SO much to be excited about in Disney World right now! Time to Meet Some Friends! Although summer crowds and heat advisories have arrived, plenty of fan-favorite entertainment options have returned to Disney World recently! We just saw the grand reopening of the reimagined Finding Nemo musical, meet-and-greets continue to return around the parks, plus Minnie Vans are officially coming back at the end of the month (even though they have already returned a bit early)! And today marks the official return of the Minnie and Mickey meet-and-greet at Adventurer’s Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but there’s another update you need to know about! Earlier this week, we noticed that the meet-and-greet at Adventurer’s Outpost was open to guests! A Cast Member told us that it was a soft opening, so the Lightning Lane was not available for the experience yet, but the My Disney Experience app did not note that it had reopened. They’re back early! Now, though, the Lightning Lane is open for the Adventurer’s Outpost meet with Mickey and Minnie! That means with the $15 purchase of Genie+, you can book a time to skip the line at this meet-and-greet! We love this meet-and-greet because you can take a photo with Mickey and Minnie together! The reimagined Finding Nemo show was also recently added to the Genie+ service. ©Disney If you’ve never used Genie+ before, it’s Disney’s new skip-the-line system. The system can be pretty confusing, but don’t worry! We’ve put together tons of guides on how to use the paid Genie+, free Disney Genie, which rides you should book first in each park, and SO much more! Genie+ ©Disney Looking for more to do in Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Well, there’s plenty more to see! Like we said above, the reimagined Finding Nemo musical is now open, the tumble monkeys and more are returning to Festival of the Lion King soon, and Expedition Everest has reopened after a long refurbishment! Keep checking the My Disney Experience app throughout the day, because we’ve seen several shows cancel performances in Disney World recently.

Have you ever imagined what it might be like to live in a Disney community? Main Street, U.S.A. Disney has! That’s why it recently announced the Storyliving by Disney project, which is a project that will build Disney residential communities across the country. One of the first is a luxurious community called Cotino in California’s Coachella Valley, which the company broke ground on back in April. Now, Disney has shared some concept art designs of what the houses in Cotino might look like. Disney’s Imagineering team worked with DMB Development and architectural firm WHA to create some home concept ideas that builders can use to create houses in the Cotino community. And to say these designs are nice is an understatement! ©Disney However, building in the community cannot begin until the City of Rancho Mirage reviews the development plan, which will include these works of concept art. ©Disney Disney noted that the plans being submitted are “not intended to be actual homes; they are meant to be representative inspiration of the types of homes and designs that builders will offer in the Cotino community.” ©Disney Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney community, will feature a lot of extra Disney details, unique amenities, and Disney touches. The community is expected to open in 2024 for homeowners of all ages, although one section will be specifically for those ages 55 and up. Those interested in buying a home in the community will be able to do so in early 2023. ©Disney Disney’s website states that Cotino will have “a range of home types to choose from, including condominiums and single-family homes.” The hope is to have a community with different types of housing and commercial buildings. ©Disney So how much will one of these homes cost? Disney has not yet released any details about pricing, but we researched Disney’s existing communities and dug into the details — be sure to check that out here if you’re looking into potentially buying into Cotino or one of Disney’s other residential communities. For those with less of a budget, Disney is also building an affordable housing project near Orlando. The plans call for more than 1,300 units of various home types. It will be close to the new Flamingo Crossings Town Center area, which includes shops, restaurants, an emergency medical care facility, and a new housing project for Disney College Program participants.

There are so many Disney snacks, sometimes it’s hard to keep track! A Disneyland Churro Cart! But don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for! We keep you updated on all the new snacks coming out of Disneyland and Disney World, and we aren’t afraid to let you know when something may not be worth your money. However, there are so many wonderful Disney snacks out there, we love when we try one and get to tell you how good it is — like this new Disney churro! Churros are a Disney snack staple by this point to many, but have you ever seen a churro as ORANGE as THIS?! We found this treat at the churro cart by Haunted Mansion for $6.75. It’s so BRIGHT! This is Disneyland’s new Orange Pop Churro, and we’re thrilled to say that our reporter LOVED it! The churro is covered in orange sugar (orange both in flavor and in color) and comes with fluffy orange and vanilla dipping sauce. In all its glory! Our reporter said the churro was warm and had the perfect bit of crunch to it with a light orange flavor. The dipping sauce was a bit more tart but was balanced out well with its sweet vanilla flavoring, and altogether it reminded her of an orange creamsicle! The fluffy orange and vanilla dipping sauce We think anyone would enjoy this treat as long as they’re a fan of churros and orange-flavored treats! If you don’t love orange, maybe go for a green apple churro with caramel dipping sauce, or a bananas foster churro instead! This bananas foster churro was HEAVENLY!

I’VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT! ©Disney Just kidding, but we do have news out of Disneyland! But really, when do we not? There’s always so much going on in the Disney parks. Buzz Lightyear just got a whole new look in the park, inspired by the release of Lightyear in theaters, and we just got an inside look at the new retheming coming to Splash Mountain on both coasts. If you’re looking for a fun new treat to try in the West Coast park, check out this new boozy-flavored parfait! The Pirate P-arrr-fait at the French Market in Disneyland is $7.99 and features vanilla rum-flavored baba, vanilla-pineapple compote, and rum-flavored mousse with assorted decorations on top. The Pirate P-arrr-fait Our reporter was pleasantly surprised by this treat! She reports that the rum flavor is throughout the treat, but isn’t overpowering, and the vanilla from the baba adds some sweetness to it that evens out the two flavors nicely (the vanilla is a little stronger). The cake was moist, and the pineapple compote combined with the rum reminded our reporter of a tropical drink. Look at those cute decorations! If you’re not a fan of rum or vanilla flavors, this treat won’t be for you. But if you don’t mind those flavors and are looking for a fun treat to try, grab this the next time you’re in the park! We love this treat Looking for more Disneyland snack news? Check out these BIG food updates we just saw, or this Flaming Hot Cheeto Pretzel (yes, you read that correctly) we tried out!

If you’re going to Disney World with young kiddos, be sure to pack your patience. Trips to the parks with little ones in tow can have stressful moments. Baby Care Center Of course, it’s all worth it when their face lights up at the sight of Cinderella Castle, or when they meet Mickey for the first time. That’s why we encourage you to take the kiddos…but we try and prepare you properly with things like packing lists for toddlers, lessons we’ve learned about taking a baby to the parks, and more! And, to make sure you’re bringing the right stroller for your child, we took to Facebook to ask our readers for their favorite options! We asked our Facebook readers, “What would you say is the best stroller to use in Disney World?” Here’s what they said! City Mini GT2 We received an overwhelming amount of responses that recommended the City Mini GT2 All-Terrain Stroller! One reader said that she heard it was one of the best options for Disney trips, and it “handles amazing on various terrains including grass, gravel, sidewalk, and sealed concrete.” Another reader said, “it also unfolds and folds with one hand.” This is obviously super helpful when trying to hop on a tram or bus quickly! ©Amazon It can hold up to 65 pounds, reclines, and boasts All-Terrain features. Most importantly, it seems to do well against the hardest terrain of all: the tracks on Main Street, U.S.A. This stroller costs a pretty penny, coming in at $399.99! Get the City Mini GT2 All-Terrain Stroller Here! Chicco Liteway Another reader recommended the Chicco Liteway Stroller! They said they used it for their child, and “it lasted a long time and many Disney trips.” And they liked it so much, that after using it for 2 years, they bought another one for their next child! ©Amazon This stroller has a compact fold, can hold up to 40 pounds, and reclines. It’s also cheaper than the City Mini GT2, coming in at $109.99 (currently on sale for $99.99). Get the Chicco Liteway Stroller Here! Umbrella Stoller A lot of responses pointed to umbrella strollers as the best option for Disney World! There are many umbrella strollers out there, like the Summer Infant Umbrella Stroller! One of our readers said umbrella strollers are “easy to pack” and “easy to maneuver in the park.” A lot of our commenters agreed, and said that these are the easiest strollers to bring along! ©Amazon This stroller holds up to 45 pounds, reclines, and is lightweight. Coming in at $54.99, this stroller is a cheaper option! Get the Summer Infant Umbrella Stroller Here! Park Strollers While a lot of our readers prefer to bring their own strollers to the parks, others like renting strollers from Disney World! One reader said, “They were so easy to push and you could store stuff on it without it tipping over as much.” Another said they prefer rentals because “it’s one less thing to pack.” That’s a plus for us! Strollers To rent a single stroller (recommended for children 50 pounds or less), the daily price is $15, while the multi-day price is $13. If you’re renting a double stroller (recommended for children 100 pounds or less), the daily price is $31, and the multi-day price is $27. Learn everything you need to know about renting a stroller in Disney World here. And those are some of our readers’ favorite strollers to use in Disney World!

One of Brogan’s first memories of photography is taking photos at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park during a vacation when she was a child. Her dad Stuart, who has held a lifelong love and appreciation for photography, gave her his camera and told her to go for it. Well, she certainly took that encouragement to heart. Since then, their shared love of Disney and passion for photography eventually led to both of them becoming Disney PhotoPass photographers at EPCOT! View the full article

We recently saw nighttime entertainment return to Disneyland Resort, and we could not be more excited! The Main Street Electrical Parade is back! More fireworks have retuned, World of Color is back, Fantasmic! has reopened, and Main Street Electrical Parade is running again. With some of these shows comes special things like dining packages, and we just checked out the Main Street Electrical Parade Dining Package to see if it’s worth it — so let’s break it down! Overview The dining package is for lunch over at the Plaza Inn and includes an all-in-one meal that comes with reserved viewing for the nighttime Main Street Electrical Parade. Plaza Inn The lunch comes with a meal, beverage, and dessert and takes place between 1PM and 3:30PM each day. Then, guests will get a voucher for the day’s first performance of the Main Street Electrical Parade. The cost for this experience is $40 per adult and $25 per child (ages 3 to 9), before tax and gratuity. But, you can use Magic Key discounts on the dining package! Main Street Electrical Parade Do be aware that you have to have valid Disneyland Park admission and a park reservation in order to take advantage of this dining package. Advance reservations are highly recommended, but you can make same-day reservations depending on availability. Also know that if the parade is cancelled for any reason, no refunds or exchanges will be given. Atmosphere The Plaza Inn is located on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland Park and has a Victorian theming. It’s one of the original landmarks of the park and opened with Disneyland in 1955 (it was previously called the Red Wagon Inn!). It was also one of Walt Disney’s favorite places to have a meal! Entrance Inside is a Victorian stained-glass ceiling, ornate gingerbread woodwork, and a marble foyer. Walt’s wife Lillian Disney picked out much of the restaurant’s 19-century interior furnishings. There is a large dining room inside with many tables and booths… A look inside …as well as an outdoor patio with some tables that are covered by umbrellas. Outdoor seating You check in at the Plaza Inn for the dining package up to 15 minutes prior to your scheduled reservation. A sign outside will lead you to the check-in area. Time to check-in! Inside, you will go to the indicated desk and payment for your dining package is required upon check-in. Inside check-in area Now, let’s talk about FOOD! Menu The menu is set for this dining package so everyone gets the same meal. There is no menu with a vegetarian option, but Cast Members said that if you tell them you’re vegetarian when you check-in, the chef can make something for you. You aren’t given a menu when you arrive, since you basically just pick up your food at the counter, but there is a menu for you to see at the entrance. A look at the menu The adult dining package comes with the world-famous Plaza Inn fried chicken, oven-roasted carrots, house-made smoked mac & cheese, bacon and pickled onion wedge salad served with house-made ranch dressing and blue cheese crumbles, Mickey-shaped sweet honey corn bread, berry cheesecake, and the choice of one beverage: a 20 oz. fountain beverage or 20 oz. Dasani water. A look at the dining package at Main Street Electrical Parade media event The child dining package is similar but a little bit different. It comes with a world-famous Plaza Inn fried-chicken leg, oven-roasted carrots, house-made smoked mac & cheese, apple sauce, Mickey-shaped sweet honey corn bread, berry cheesecake, and the choice of one beverage: a small Dasani water or small low-fat milk. You go up to the counter and the Cast Members will serve you your meal. There is an indicated area for people getting the dining package to go. Here’s where you will be served Now, let’s eat! Eats We got our food and headed to a table outside to try it all. Here’s a look at everything we got. Full spread Let’s start with what was easily the best part of this meal — that famous fried chicken! We got a big portion that included a breast, thigh, and leg. Golden deliciousness The chicken was tender and flavorful, falling right off of the bone! It was juicy and delicious. YUM The skin was also very crispy and well-seasoned, which is usually how it is over here, so we’re glad it remains consistent. This is the star of the show We then moved on to the mac & cheese, and honestly, it was a little disappointing. It really didn’t have a smoky flavor at like it was said to in the description. And it unfortunately wasn’t very cheesy, which is like the MAIN thing you want from a mac & cheese. This could have been better! We’re sad about this one The roasted carrots however were amazing! They were cooked very well and had a great herb flavor to them. They were tender without being mushy, which we appreciated! Little carrots! The Mickey-shaped sweet honey cornbread was pretty average. It wasn’t anything special, but it also wasn’t bad, it was just your regular ol’ cornbread! But, the Mickey shape does make it a little more fun. At least it’s shaped like Mickey! Our little wedge salad didn’t have any dressing or the blue cheese crumbles! We’re not sure if this was just a fluke or if you have to specify that you want dressing, so if you get yours without dressing, make sure to ask a Cast Member about it. It was still a decent salad though — the pickled onions and bacon on top added a nice flavor. Where’s our dressing?! Then, it was time for dessert! The berry cheesecake started out with a sweet berry flavor followed by a hint of that tangy cheesecake flavor. Mini cheesecake It was served chilled which we really enjoyed since it was a hot day and we were eating outside! A great summer dessert! If you like cheesecake and berries, you can’t go wrong here. Main Street Electrical Parade At the Plaza Inn, you’ll be given some credentials for the parade later. Hang on to this! Make sure not to lose this so that you can get into that special reserved seating area! Credentials You also will be given a ticket that tells you when and where to arrive. Don’t be late! After lunch, we had a decent amount of free time before the parade began at 8:45PM, so just know that the parade doesn’t happen right after you eat, since it is a nighttime parade. Maybe make some Lightning Lane reservations through Genie+ between your meal and the parade so you can get on some rides! Also note that the showtimes can change in the future, so make sure to look at the schedule ahead of time. And, note that your reserved seating is for the FIRST performance of the night only, not the second. Let’s go! The viewing area is separate from the Plaza Inn and is listed on your ticket. Our viewing area was up toward the entrance of the park and we checked in at the flag pole. Make sure that you are not early OR late to your listed arrival window, because Disney says you will not be accommodated. Seating area Then, we waited with the other guests in our seating area for the parade to start! The viewing area is standing only, but there are accommodations for guests with disabilities. Seating area The parade began and we were treated to a classic performance of the Main Street Electrical Parade! This is a fantastic location to see the parade from. Our view! It also wasn’t super crowded, which was nice because we got a good view. Click here to see MORE pictures and videos of Main Street Electrical Parade Nosh or Not Reserve the Main Street Electrical Parade Dining Package if: You want a meal that’s a little better than the usual quick service around the park and you LOVE fried chicken You want a bigger portion of food and a hearty meal at a decent price You want to be able to have a great view of the parade without fighting the crowds or having to save a spot Skip the Dining Package if: You just want a quick lunch with a smaller portion so you can keep going about your Disneyland day You don’t really care about the parade and would rather go on rides during that time instead You are a vegetarian, because there is no set alternative option, so you might not like what the chef makes you! Overall Overall, we’re big fans of this restaurant and its theming, and it has decent food! The portion was also pretty good for the price (by Disney standards, at least). After we used our Magic Key discount, the total came out to around $36, which made it an even better deal. The reserved parade seating that comes with the package is pretty ideal. It’s also great to know that you have a good spot to watch the parade from, so you can just go about your day worry-free without having to reserve a spot or end up not getting a good view. If you’re a big fan of this parade or are seeing it for the first time, and you want a decent meal during your park day, we’d say this is a great option! Look at all of those characters! But, if you are fine with any view of the parade, want a quick meal, or want a less expensive meal, maybe skip out on this experience. It will also give you more flexibility during your day if you don’t have a scheduled meal and a scheduled time to see the parade. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney food news, updates, and reviews.

Disney’s Star Wars themed cookie sandwich, the Wookiee Cookie, is beloved by many (including us!). Wookiee Cookie! This Oatmeal Cookie with cream filling has been satisfying guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Backlot Express since 2019. Since then, it’s also made an appearance in Disneyland! We love the Wookiee Cookie, but when we went to Hollywood Studios today, we noticed something a little different. The Wookiee Cookie had a new look! Kinda. It still has the same chocolate belt that looks like Chewbacca’s but the cookies are much thicker than we’ve ever seen them before! The original Wookiee Cookie had pretty standard cookies in terms of thickness. This is what the original looks like! Wookiee Cookie! However, today, we were surprised to see how thick these Wookiee Cookies were looking! That’s THICK! Our reporter gave one a try and said that while the cookie was a little less oatmeal-y, the taste was the same, so they’re still the Wookiee Cookies we know and love, with just a little more cookie to enjoy. We’ll continue to keep an eye on it and see if there are any other changes, or if this was a one time difference! When we first saw it, the thickness reminded us of another one of our favorite treats in Hollywood Studios, the Carrot Cake Cookie from Trolley Car Cafe! Trolley Car Cafe Carrot Cake Cookie That’s all for this Hollywood Studios cookie update! There’s been a ton of other food news in Hollywood Studios lately, like a new menu at 50s Prime Time Cafe, the buffet returning to Hollywood & Vine, and a new menu coming to Mama Melrose’s, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Uhhh…Disney World, are you okay?! Partners Statue The rain and heat we’re experiencing around the resort today happens every now and then. But on top of that, we’ve got huge amount of closures, cancelations, and delays we’re seeing?! It seems like everywhere we look, something new is down. We honestly don’t even know where to start with this list of struggles today (as it’s quite long), but let’s just jump right in. Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage had to cancel their 11AM performance today. Cast Members in the area advised that we may see more cancelations for the show throughout the day, however, the show is currently running normally as of the 1PM performance. Cast Members in Front of the Entrance Staying in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular show experienced technical difficulties today. The first performance of the day stopped mid-show, due to the temple walls malfunctioning. The second show of the day was also affected by the same technical issues, so guests were only shown the first scene before ending the show. The crew said they “will get the problem fixed,” and encouraged guests to return to the 1:15PM, 3:15PM, and 4:30PM showtimes. Not to mention, there is also a heat advisory in Disney World’s counties today.

We love a good Disney movie. Who doesn’t? Okay, it IS Buzz Lightyear… We just got an update on the Zootopia series coming to Disney+, Pixar’s newest movie, Lightyear, was released this week, and Lilo & Stitch is celebrating a huge anniversary that is making us feel old! Disney’s been producing live-action remakes of some of their animated classics for a while now, and their next project just got a director! Back in 2020, a live-action Hercules movie was announced. Disney still has not released too much information about the movie, but it just got a director! Guy Ritchie, who directed the 2019 live-action Aladdin, will be directing Hercules, according to The Hollywood Reporter! ©Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic The movie’s first draft was penned by Dave Callaham, who wrote Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and is being produced by Joe and Anthony Russo, the filmmakers behind some of Marvel’s biggest blockbusters like Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Captain America: Civil War. ©Disney Hercules As of right now, it’s unclear whether or not the live-action movie will have any of the musical elements from the 1997 movie, and the film is still looking for writers. ©Disney | From the upcoming live-action ‘Pinocchio’ Disney’s other live-action remakes include The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, and Lady and the Tramp. There are also live-action versions of The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio and Snow White in the works! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!

It’s ROUND 2 of our Magic Kingdom ride throwdown, and YOU are the judge! Magic Kingdom We’ve ranked the attractions at Magic Kingdom again…and again…but now is your chance to tell us which Magic Kingdom ride is the BEST! Those following us on Instagram (@disneyfoodblog) were able to participate in the second round of brackets, and we have the results! So without further delay…let’s get ready to RUUUUMBLE! Let’s start with an absolute blowout! Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel vs. Big Thunder Mountain. It probably won’t surprise you to see who won this matchup. Of course, the carrousel is an iconic piece of Magic Kingdom…but it’s hard to beat the wildest ride in the wilderness! Accordingly, only 7% of votes went to the carrousel, while 93% went to Thunder Mountain. WOW! Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel vs. Big Thunder Mountain Next up — Carousel of Progress vs. PeopleMover. While the Carousel of Progress was able to snag 28% of the votes, it was the PeopleMover who won with 72% of the votes! The PeopleMover has quite a dedicated, loyal fanbase, so this makes total sense to us. Carousel of Progress vs. PeopleMover Let’s look at the Haunted Mansion vs. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin matchup! Even amid the release of Lightyear, Buzz’s ride couldn’t get enough love, falling short at 22% of votes. Haunted Mansion, however, pulled in 78% of the votes. Haunted Mansion is such a classic Disney ride, so again, this makes sense. Haunted Mansion vs. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin The Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid vs. Dumbo the Flying Elephant matchup was an interesting one. They’re both unique rides in their own way — one takes you on a flight via an elephant, and one takes you under the sea on a seashell. But Under the Sea won 73% of the votes, while Dumbo only got 27%. Could it be the spinning that garnered so few votes for Dumbo?! Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid vs. Dumbo the Flying Elephant And we actually weren’t expecting these results for Pirates of the Caribbean vs. Space Mountain. While they were pretty close, Pirates of the Caribbean came out on top with 59% of the votes, while Space Mountain fell short with 41%. Seriously — we weren’t expecting to see Pirates of the Caribbean beat one of the Disney Mountains! Pirates of the Caribbean vs. Space Mountain Let’s take a look at the battle of the shows — Enchanted Tiki Room vs. Mickey’s PhilharMagic! While both are iconic, classic Magic Kingdom attractions, the Tiki Room only got 41% of the vote, while Mickey’s PhilharMagic won 59%! Sorry, José! Enchanted Tiki Room vs. Mickey’s PhilharMagic And now, “it’s a small world” vs. Peter Pan’s Flight! Peter Pan’s Flight won with 61% of the votes, while “it’s a small world” only had 39%. We’re thinking repetitive music has something to do with this loss. it’s a small world vs. Peter Pan’s Flight And now it’s the battle of transportation! The Monorail vs. Walt Disney World Railroad! The Monorail received 61% of the votes while the Railroad only got 39%. The monorail has a strong fanbase, so this one wasn’t surprising either. The Railroad has also been closed for years now! Monorail vs. Walt Disney World Railroad These are all of the results from round two! We’re going to post round three soon, so follow our Instagram to vote for your favorite attractions!
