On the hunt to meet Mickey and Minnie in Disney World? Then listen close, we’ve got some exciting news to share! Time to Meet Some Friends! Many character meet-and-greets are back to “normal” due to recent changes in the parks. You can hug Mickey again, ask for his autograph, and even give him a big high-five in several meet-and-greet and character dining spots. But over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the park’s signature Mickey meet-and-greet location has been closed…until now. Adventurers Outpost is the spot you’ll want to visit in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to meet some great characters — typically Minnie and Mickey Mouse. It’s been closed for a LONG time now, essentially since the pandemic closures. We previously shared that Adventurers Outpost will be added to the Genie+ system (the paid FastPass+ replacement system) starting on June 19th. We expected that the meet-and-greet spot would reopen on that date or sometime before, and now we’ve got a HUGE update! ©Disney On the Disney World website, Adventurers Outpost is still listed as “Temporarily Unavailable” and does not show any operating hours for today’s date (June 14th). It also isn’t listed in the Genie+ service yet. But if you wander on over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you may be hit with a lovely surprise! ©Disney While we were in Animal Kingdom today, we saw that Adventurers Outpost has soft opened! At the time we went, the standby line was just 15 minutes long. Seems like not a lot of people may be aware of this spot! Always Keep Your Eyes Open! After waiting for a bit outside, we made our way into the indoor line. Inside the queue, you’ll find some photos of Mickey and Minnie in all kinds of fun destinations they’ve traveled to together. Ummm…hello? Why weren’t we invited on these fabulous trips?! How Cute! Once you make your way through the queue, you’ll get to meet Mickey and Minnie in their EPIC safari outfits! Seriously, how great are these looks?! We Love Them! Mickey has an awesome safari hat on, and looks like he’s truly ready for an adventure. Love It! Minnie is dressed to impress with her awesome hat and scarf, coupled with the rest of her fantastic outfit. Work It Minnie! The location they’re in says Adventurers Outpost in the back. Adventurers Outpost And it features a beautiful backdrop with a depiction of a familiar-looking tree and some other icons you may recognize from Animal Kingdom park. Hey! We Know Those Spots! There’s also a gorgeous design on the floor… So Much to Look At! …and some more travel-inspired decor all around. Don’t Forget Your Suitcase! There was a Cast Member there next to the PhotoPass station. This appears to be one of the automated photo-taking boxes we’ve seen at other meet-and-greet locations. Essentially, this box holds an automated camera and takes photos instead of the live PhotoPass Cast Member that used to take photos at the meet-and-greet locations. At the time we went, the Cast Member said that the automated photo box wasn’t working yet, so the Cast Member offered to take a photo of us. PhotoPass Station The Cast Member told us that the automated photo box would be utilized once this spot officially opens. Of course, that’s subject to change, but it’s something to take into consideration. You’ll have to Strike That Pose The Cast Member told us that this was just a soft opening which is why it still does not appear as “open” on Disney’s app and why it doesn’t appear on Genie+. We expect it will appear on both by June 19th, at which point it’s set to be added to the Genie+ service. Wondering what other meet-and-greets are available in Disney World?

Remember that “normal” meet-and-greets are returning in phases, so not all meet-and-greets may be back or back to “normal” during your trip. Pluto Signing an Autograph Also, note that Disney characters can be dressed up in different outfits depending on where their meet-and-greet is located. If you’re looking for another place to find Mickey and other friends in their safari outfits, head on over to Tusker House Restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for some tasty eats and more safari-inspired looks.

If you’re hoping to enjoy an extra special dining experience at Disney World, character meals are a popular choice! Garden Grill Currently, there are full character meal options in three of the four parks (the full experiences haven’t yet returned to Magic Kingdom), as well as multiple Disney World hotels. One of our favorite spots to visit here at DFB is Garden Grill in EPCOT, and today, the restaurant made a big menu change! Garden Grill serves an all-you-care-to-eat family-style feast, and during your meal you can meet Mickey Mouse (in his adorable farmer outfit), Pluto, Chip, and Dale. Located inside The Land Pavilion, this “Harvest Feast” provides a slightly healthier option than most Disney character meals. However, now an iconic part of the feast is changing. Farmer Mickey Today, the Disney World website menu was updated to note that one of the entrees served with your meal is now Barbecue-roasted Chicken. Formerly, this meal came with All-Natural Sliced Turkey Breast with Turkey Gravy, but that has been removed from the menu. The spread from our last visit. But don’t worry — the rest of the items remain the same! Your chicken will be served alongside a Harvest-Inspired Salad, Grilled Beef with Chimichurri, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, seasonal vegetables, Southern-Style Spoon Bread, and Berry Short Cake. Garden Grill Salad If you’re hoping to plan a character meal for your next visit, there are several popular options available currently. Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort is probably the hardest to get a reservation for, and Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is pretty popular as well. Keep in mind that some restaurants still haven’t reopened, and some character meals haven’t returned. The Complete List of Back-to-Normal Character Dining in Disney World — Click Here!

The reimagined Finding Nemo Musical just debuted in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and it looks like there might be some hiccups with showtimes today. It’s here! Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond tells the story of Finding Nemo from the fish at the Marine Life Institute (which was the setting in Finding Dory), and since its debut, it’s had six showtimes per day. Today, however, we noticed a change. Visit Animal Kingdom to see Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond at the Theater in the Wild! This reimagined musical features changes from the original Finding Nemo musical, including a new script, set pieces, and a LED screen background. But don’t worry — original songs like “In the Big Blue World” are still included! The Big Blue…and Beyond! The show soft opened early with six showtimes at 10:30AM, 11:30AM, 12:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:30PM, and 4:30PM. While canceled showtimes are not usual in Disney World, we were a little surprised to see not one but TWO showtimes canceled today. Both the 10:30AM and the 4:30PM shows have been canceled, which you can see in the My Disney Experience app. ©Disney If there’s a show you want to catch at Disney World, it’s not a bad idea to prioritize the show early in the day in order to avoid possible canceled showtimes. We also encourage you to check the My Disney Experience app for current showtimes and to keep an eye out throughout the day for any changes. We can’t say for certain whether The Big Blue…and Beyond may have canceled showtimes in the future, but we’ll be watching closely for any changes. As of right now, it looks like tomorrow’s showtimes will be back to normal. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! The Big Blue…and Beyond is also included in your $15 per day Genie+ purchase, which means you can also reserve a Lightning Lane for a shorter wait time. If the showtime you reserved is canceled, you will likely be able to redeem your Lightning Lane at any eligible Genie+ attraction in the park. Lightning Lane for The Big Blue…and Beyond! If you’re looking for another show in Animal Kingdom, why not give the Festival of the Lion King a try! Even better, if you visit after July 16th, you can once again see the full show. We’ll be keeping an eye on Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond showtimes, so keep reading DFB for more Disney news and tips! Come along with us to see Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond!

Halloween is an exciting time in the Disney parks! Halloween at Disneyland Disney recently announced that, for the first time since 2019, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be returning to the Magic Kingdom this year! We also got the news that the Oogie Boogie Bash will be returning to Disneyland Resort, as well. Now, we know when another popular Halloween tradition will be returning too. Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday will be returning on September 2nd, 2022. For those who don’t know, Haunted Mansion Holiday is a ride overlay that typically takes effect around September each year in Disneyland. Haunted Mansion Holiday The ride usually closes for a while before the start of the overlay, and when it reopens, it is decorated with a combination of Halloween and Christmas decor, as well as characters from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The overlay usually lasts until Halloween is over. These touches can be seen outside of the ride in the queue, as well as throughout the ride itself. Haunted Mansion Holiday Entrance Haunted Mansion Holiday isn’t the only Halloween touch coming to Disneyland Resort this fall. Guests at both parks will be able to meet characters dressed up in their Halloween costumes, see intricately carved pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A., and eat some delicious Halloween snacks and treats! Haunted Mansion Holiday Rice Krispie Treat in 2021 And there is, of course, the Oogie Boogie Bash, which will take place on select nights in September and October. Tickets for this event go on sale later this month.

When it comes to dining in Disney World, many guests will tell you that EPCOT is where it’s at — with a wide range of different cultures’ cuisine represented all on one spot, it’s a glutton’s paradise. EPCOT Between festivals, quick service spots, and even upscale table service restaurants, EPCOT essentially has it all. We recently revisited a table service restaurant we hadn’t been to since the parks first reopened to see what we were missing. So, come with us as we check out San Angel Inn Restaurante in Disney World! Atmosphere Talk about a restaurant with atmosphere — San Angel Inn is literally inside the Mexico Pyramid, but the vibes are made to feel like you’re in a Mexican city at night. San Angel Inn sign above the entrance The city sits upon a river with a nearby marketplace, and guests can watch passengers riding the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros go by as well. San Angel inn We’ve found the tables to be pushed too close together on past visits, and that was pretty much the case on this visit as well. You’ll be getting pretty cozy with your neighbors during your meal here. San Angel Inn seating It’s important to note that depending on where you’re seated, you might not have an ideal experience. While most of the tables are located near the water, there are a few in a less than desirable location…by the bathrooms. You can always request a table near the water at check-in! Menu San Angel Inn is known for traditional Mexican eats, and in the past it hasn’t been our favorite — though we did enjoy our visit prior to this one. There are traditional appetizers like queso and guacamole… ©Disney …and for the entrees, there are plenty of dishes to choose from including fish tacos and Carne Asada. ©Disney And of course, there are a few desserts to choose from. We tried the Chocolate Fiesta Pyramid when it first debuted, and you can read all about that here. ©Disney Like most Disney World table service restaurants, kids can choose their own adventure when it comes to their meal, with appetizers… ©Disney …entrees… ©Disney …plus sides and desserts, too! ©Disney Of course, we can’t forget the drinks. San Angel Inn has an extensive margarita menu, and we’re certainly not complaining! ©Disney You can also order many of the tequilas featured at La Cava del Tequila, because they share the same drink menu! Eats So, how did this meal compare to our last at San Angel Inn? We started off with the San Angel Inn Margarita for $23. It’s made with Casa Dragones blanco tequila, La Favorite orange liqueur, agave nectar, freshly squeezed lime juice. San Angel Inn Margarita This is the restaurant’s upscale take on a classic lime margarita, served on the rocks with black ant salt rim in a metal shaker so you can pour it yourself. We thought it tasted like a super high quality margarita thanks to the Casa Dragones Tequila. It wasn’t too sweet, and was perfectly refreshing. If you want a slightly fancier take on a classic margarita, check this one out. Otherwise, the menu has many more adventurous drinks! We love a good marg If you go to a Mexican restaurant and don’t order chips, salsa, and queso, did it really happen? We’ll never know, because we always do. We tried the Totopos con Queso for $6, which comes with tortilla chips, queso, and salsa. Totopos con Queso The queso was creamy, mild, and super cheesy, while the salsa tasted fresh. We do wish the queso had a kick to it, but overall it was delicious. The chips weren’t too salty like you often find in restaurants either! Totopos con queso y salsa! For our entree, we opted for the Tacos de Ribeye — and boy, are we glad we did. They’re served more fajita-style in a build-you-own-taco sort of way and come with plantains on the side. Tacos de Ribeye The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was thinly sliced so it was super tender as well. The poblanos and onions added a nice flavor, plus the creamy Monterey Jack cheese just brought the whole dish together in the most incredible way. Build your own tacos The salsa verde served alongside the tacos had that kick we were looking for with the queso earlier in the meal, so if you’re averse to spices, keep that in mind. Tacos de ribeye The plantains were caramelized perfectly and had that sweetness you expect from plantains, but that was cut by the addition of the Cotija cheese. Together, the two made a wonderful pairing. If you like tacos and ribeye, you might want to get these tacos. Though they are expensive at $30, they’re definitely shareable — especially after chips and queso! The plantains were delicious. After we had our fill of all the Tacos de Ribeye we could eat, we decided to order the Sweet Corn Ice Cream. It’s $9 for one scoop, making it possibly the most expensive ice cream per scoop in Disney World — but it was pretty good! Sweet Corn Ice Cream It’s made from just vanilla beans, milk, and corn, and essentially tastes like tortilla ice cream. It was heavily vanilla based, but there was also a pretty distinct corn flavor as well! At $9, though, we’d probably skip this dessert and opt for something elsewhere in the park instead. Nosh or Not Grab a table at San Angel Inn if… You’re looking for a great atmosphere and an escape from the heat. You want traditional Mexican cuisine like tacos and carne asada. You’re looking for a shareable meal and want to dine in the World Showcase. Dine elsewhere if… You don’t like spending a lot of money on your tacos. You have trouble in dark or noisy restaurants. You want to actually sit outside. Overall In the past, we haven’t always enjoyed our meals at San Angel Inn, but this time was pleasantly different! The Tacos de Ribeye were amazing, and who doesn’t love a mid-day break for some queso and margs?! Not to mention, the theming really can’t be beat. It’s such an incredible atmosphere that exemplifies the Disney magic. Check Out Our Recent Review of the NEW Menu at Sci-Fi Dine-In If Mexican fare isn’t for you, there are plenty of other options in EPCOT for a bite to eat! Some of our favorites are Le Cellier, Space 220, and the newly opened Connections Cafe! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

The Countdown is ON! It’s almost Food and Wine Festival season! We’re officially just 30 days away from the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival at Disney World — it runs July 14th through November 19th, 2022. Here at DFB, we’re BIG fans of this festival — and we love going every year and trying everything to bring you reviews, hidden gems, and more! Whether you make an annual trip to try the new eats or you’re planning your first visit, today we’re sharing a few of our BEST Food & Wine Festival Tips! 1. Grab a gift card to stay on budget. If you’re like us, you’ll want to try everything when you visit the Food & Wine Festival, and it becomes very easy to spend more than you meant to! You can have a GREAT time whether you can just taste a few things or you have a sky’s-the-limit budget, though. You can grab a gift card wristlet to make touring the festival easy! An easy way to keep track of your spending is to put your budgeted amount on a Disney Gift Card at the beginning of the day. Disney World even stocks gift cards on wrist bands just for this purpose! Click here for more tips on doing the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival on a budget 2. Get your “must-haves” early in the day. While we want to try all kinds of festival food and drink, there are always a couple of items that are at the TOP of our priority list. Festival favorites can sell out for the day. While the Food & Wine Festival booths are usually open until park close, things DO sell out for the day. And with supply chain issues still plaguing Disney World, we expect that sell-outs could happen more frequently than in previous years. So be sure to try your top items early in the day to minimize the risk of missing them altogether. The 10 best VALUES at the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 3. Don’t make dining reservations. We know, we know. We are frequently telling you to plan ahead and make dining reservations as soon as you possibly can. And EPCOT is such a great park for foodies — with SO MANY great table-service restaurants. Your festival day may not be the best time to also try Space 220. BUT, your festival touring day is just not a day that we suggest you plan for a big meal. Forgoing a dining reservation will leave you with more time, more money — and more room in your stomach — to sample the festival goodies you can’t get every day of the year. What happens when you MISS your dining reservation in Disney World 4. Let us help you plan. With 31 booths and additional locations serving hundreds of interesting tastes and sips, it can be hard to make an attack plan. The DFB team has been attending every EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival for years, to bring you the best advice and most complete information out there for planning your trip! Our DFB Guide to the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is available RIGHT NOW for pre-order, and we’re giving DFB readers a copy of the 2021 guide FREE for immediate download with your order!

Magic Kingdom is busy, busy, BUSY these days! Magic Kingdom! It’s the middle of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration, and that means that the original park is hopping with new snacks, new merchandise, and all kinds of fun celebrations. But besides the anniversary festivities, there’s a lot of other news to keep up with — today we’re sharing everything that’s new in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Aloha Isle First up, we have some happy news to report at Aloha Isle in Adventureland — the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is back on the menu and available to order! You can snag one for $6.99. There it is, officially! The classic tropical dessert is served with a healthy dollop of Dole Whip on top, and it’s the perfect treat for a hot summer day. We know it’s a fan favorite, so we’re glad to see it back again! Click Here to Learn More About This Treat! Magic Kingdom Construction Updates Center Street Moving on to construction updates, we stopped by Center Street to see if anything had changed over there. This little offshoot of Main Street, U.S.A. has been blocked by a short construction wall for a few weeks now, and it looks like Disney is replacing some of the pavement. Center Street Construction At this time, the seating area back here is unavailable while the work is being completed. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes. TRON Coaster Of course, Magic Kingdom’s BIG project currently is the TRON coaster over in Tomorrowland. We got a great view of construction from a ride on the PeopleMover, and it looks like work is continuing on the pathway leading up to the ride building. TRON Construction Most of the outside area is still unpaved, so we imagine we’ll start to see some changes there in the coming months. We can’t wait to check out this new ride! Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. On the other side of the PeopleMover tracks, Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. is having some work done on the exterior of the building. It’s likely that this area will become the walkway that leads to TRON, so it seems that construction crews are prepping it to become a high-traffic area. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. Construction We haven’t noticed too many changes in the weeks that the side of the store has been blocked off, except for some new barriers and tarps on the walls. We’ll keep checking back! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates The Emporium Of course, we couldn’t talk about our visit to Magic Kingdom without mentioning the new merchandise that we spotted! The Scarlet Witch ears FINALLY arrived in Disney World this week and then promptly sold out on the same day. Disney hasn’t shared whether or not they’ll come back in stock, but BOY have they been popular! Scarlet Witch Ears And speaking of new ears, the Star Wars Ewok Ears also came to The Emporium. This fuzzy pair was available in the store for $39.99. So Fuzzy! In other Star Wars merchandise news, Disney also released a 50th Anniversary R2-D2 figurine for $14.99. This EARidescent version is called R2-W50 — how clever is that name?! A new R2-D2 figurine! Classic Disney character Goofy celebrates his 90th birthday this year, and we spotted his special anniversary plush in The Emporium for $34.99. He definitely looks friendlier than he does in the current Mickey Mouse cartoons! Hey Goof! If you’re a collector of Disney’s little posable nuiMO plushes, then you’ll be glad to know that two new outfits arrived in stores this week. The tie-dye and neon fits are $12.99 each and will ensure that your little buddy is stylishly dressed for the summer! More clothes for your nuiMO Two new exclusive Annual Passholder phone cases arrived this week as well. We’ve got this bright yellow monorail design… This one is an AP exclusive! …and one with the Annual Passholder logo! You can grab either case for $34.99. The cases match the new Passholder aesthetic! And last but not least, Disney released a new nightlight…and it’s made to look like Mei in her Red Panda form from Turning Red. How cute! Turning Red nightlight You can buy it at Disney World now for $27.99. Star Traders Over in Tomorrowland, we spotted this Lilo and Stitch plush for $39.99. Are they drinking out of a coconut?! Is that a coconut? You never really know what unique merchandise you’ll find inside this store, so make sure to check it out on your next visit! Bonjour Village Gifts Bonjour Village Gifts in Fantasyland is home to some truly fancy souvenirs, and this week three new figures/statues arrived. The first is the Mickey 50th Anniversary design from Britto for $75. We spotted new decor. There’s also a Pie Eye Mickey and Minnie figurine for $160. If you take a closer look at their hands, you’ll notice that they’re holding retro park tickets! It’s a classic Mickey and Minnie. And finally, we have the captivating Madame Leota in her crystal ball for $140. We love Madame Leota! These would be some very cool (albeit pricey!) additions to your home if you’re a major Disney fan! Frontier Trading Post If you’re a pin trader, we highly recommend stopping by Frontier Trading Post. Here, you’ll find all kinds of pins, accessories, and lanyards to get you started. This week, they had a new Raya and the Last Dragon pin. It has been a while since we’ve seen Raya merch! The pin features the young version of Raya with baby Tuk Tuk in her arms — they’re so cute! Uptown Jewelers And finally, Uptown Jewelers was running a special with Pandora charms this week, where anyone who purchased three charms from the Disney/Pixar Pandora collection would get a matching collector’s box. The box is yellow, red, and blue…made to look like the iconic Luxo Ball. They’re running a special. That’s everything new we spotted in Magic Kingdom this week, but that isn’t the end of all the excitement! Things are gearing. up for the summer in Disney World, with higher crowds, new snacks, and returning entertainment. There’s a lot to keep up with these days. Disney World is hopping right now!

When Disney+ first launched in 2019, ads were nowhere to be found. ©Disney But, in early 2022, Disney announced that they would be introducing an ad-supported subscription tier to the streaming service in addition to the existing ad-free tier. The new subscription is slated to roll out later this year, and now we’ve got a peek at exactly what that ad revenue might look like for Disney+. Disney+ will be introducing advertisements to its service later this year in the form of a new subscription tier, and we’ve already learned what type of advertisements will NOT be shown on the service, including political ads, alcohol ads, or ads for rival outlets and entertainment studios. Ms. Marvel recently premiered on Disney+ But, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any ads shown that will make the company money. In fact, according to The Hollywood Reporter via a new report, analysts predict that Disney+ could generate $1.8 BILLION in U.S. ad revenue by 2025. Netflix, which is also introducing an ad-based subscription, could stand to make $1.2 billion. ©MoffettNathanson The report comes from MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Nathanson, who went on to explain, “Netflix has the potential for much larger global ad growth, yet the domestic advertising opportunity for Disney+ appears greater due to a much lower starting revenue per user (RPU) versus Netflix, a more developed advertising infrastructure, pent up demand, affinity for Disney content and greater monetizable content availability as Disney owns the majority of their content.” Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) with an eopie in a scene from Lucasfilm’s OBI-WAN KENOBI, exclusively on Disney+. © 2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & . All Rights Reserved. Nathanson went on to say that the ad-supported tiers have been developed by necessity in many cases, given that subscriber growth has recently slowed. Although neither Disney+ nor Netflix have shared the official pricing of their ad-based tiers, Nathanson predicts that Disney+ will charge $7.99 for the ad-supported tier and raise the price of the ad-free tier to $11.99. Netflix, on the other hand, could price its ad tier at $6 per month, according to Nathanson. ©Disney | From the upcoming live-action ‘Pinocchio’ Disney has previously shared that the new ad-based tier is a step toward achieving its goal of having 230 to 260 million Disney+ subscribers by Fiscal Year 2024. We’ll continue to keep an eye on this situation for updates, so stay tuned with DFB. Click Here to Read More About the Ads Coming to Disney+ Looking for something to binge on Disney+?

Pixar’s newest movie, Lightyear, hasn’t come out yet and is already making headlines for getting banned in several countries. ©Pixar Following the situation with Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics termed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) and certain statements from Pixar employees, Disney revealed that a same-sex kiss scene in Lightyear, which had previously been removed, had been put back into the movie. Now, it seems this particular scene is causing some big implications for the movie’s release. According to Reuters, Disney hasn’t been able to get permission to show Lightyear in theaters in 14 countries in the Middle East and Asia. The film is also “unlikely” to be showed in China, which is the largest movie market in the world. Lightyear features a brief same-sex kiss between Buzz’s friend, Hawthorne, a female space ranger, and another woman she is in a meaningful relationship with. ©Pixar | Obtained via Variety The United Arab Emirates has specifically banned the film. According to NPR, the UAE Media Regulatory Office has said that the movie is “is not licensed for public screening in all cinemas in the UAE, due to its violation of the country’s media content standards.” While the same-sex kiss hasn’t explicitly been listed as the reason for the ban, NPR points out that the UAE, like other countries in the Middle East, “criminalizes same-sex relationships.” ©Disney Reuters notes that representatives from several other countries, including “Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia and Lebanon, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on why they would not allow the film to be exhibited.” Where else has the film’s premiere been impacted? Well, Bloomberg reports that Lightyear won’t be able to be watched by kids in Singapore. According to Yahoo! News, the film has been rated NC16 due to “overt homosexual depictions.” The film will essentially be restricted to those ages 16 and up. According to the Infocomm Media Development Authority from Singapore, “Given the mature content, IMDA had requested the Distributor (Disney) consider the option of releasing the film in two versions, under our Simultaneous Rating Release (SRS) mechanism. This allows for consumer choice. The Distributor (Disney) has turned down this option.” Lightyear preview One of the producers of Lightyear told Reuters that the authorities in China had asked for cuts to be made to the movie, and Disney declined to make those cuts. So, while Disney has yet to receive an answer from Chinese authorities as to whether the movie will debut there, it appears likely that it may not be allowed to premiere in the country. Reuters notes that “China has rejected other on-screen depictions of homosexuality in the past.” ©️Disney Galyn Susman, a producer on the Lightyear film, told Reuters that filmmakers will not be making changes to the movie. “We’re not going to cut out anything, especially something as important as the loving and inspirational relationship that shows Buzz what he’s missing by the choices that he’s making, so that’s not getting cut,” Susman said. How will the potential lack of a Chinese premiere impact Pixar? According to one theater industry expert, China isn’t “make or break” for Pixar. When it came to Toy Story 4, China only contributed 3% to the global box office. The film ultimately made more than $1 worldwide. ©Pixar Chris Evans, who voices Lightyear in the film, has said, “It’s great that we are a part of something that’s making steps forward in the social inclusion capacity, but it’s frustrating that there are still places that aren’t where they should be.” Lightyear isn’t Disney’s first film that has gotten some pushback from countries overseas. Disney also refused to cut some references to same-sex couples in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness back in May and the film ultimately did not show in Saudi Arabia and some other Middle Eastern countries. ©Pixar ‘Lightyear’ is set to debut this week and tickets are already on sale. We’ll continue to look for more updates on this situation and let you know what we find.

Disney Springs is home to so many incredible restaurants that it can be difficult to decide which one to choose during a visit! Disney Springs You can visit quick service spots like D-Luxe Burger for some delicious food on the go, or stop by table service restaurants like Wine Bar George or Paddlefish for a sit-down meal. Today we learned that one popular Disney Springs restaurant is closing early, so here’s what you need to know! Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is one of our favorite places to eat in Disney Springs! Led by celebrity chef Art Smith, this restaurant features farm-to-fork Southern and Floridian dishes, including Art’s Famous Fried Chicken, the Catfish Sandwich, and even a wide selection of moonshine. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ On Instagram, Homecomin’ announced that their hours are changing today. Instead of closing at 10PM as per usual, they will be closing early at 2PM. Their hours are affected today only, so tomorrow they will resume their typical 11AM to 10PM hours. If you’re heading to Disney Springs after 2PM today with a craving for some chicken, you could visit Chicken Guy! for some fast (and delicious) chicken tender dishes, or you could get lucky and get a last-minute reservation at any number of restaurants! Try Raglan Road for some authentic Irish food or visit The BOATHOUSE for a fancier meal of steak and seafood. Southwestern Chicken Sandwich from Chicken Guy! Don’t forget to try joining restaurant waitlists too! Many restaurants offer Mobile Walk-Up Waitlist through the My Disney Experience app, where you can request to join a variety of open dining waitlists. You can also look for this Walk-Up Waitlist sign near restaurants or ask the host of the restaurant whether the waitlist is still open. If you can’t find a reservation, joining the waitlist is a good backup plan! Look for this Walk-Up Waitlist sign! As a reminder, Homecomin’ will close early today at 2PM, but they will resume their regular hours tomorrow. Keep following DFB for more Disney World news!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. We don’t know about you, but we get SO excited when we’re planning for an upcoming Disney World trip! Just thinking about all of the food, rides, and entertainment we’re about to enjoy gets us so hyped up. Magic Kingdom But, there are also some not-so-great things that can happen to you when you’re on your Disney World vacation. Planning ahead of time can help you avoid many stressful situations, but there are still issues that could happen during your trip. So, let’s talk about the most stressful situations in Disney World, and how you can fix them! Car Troubles Car issues can be SUCH a hassle, especially in Disney World when you’re trying to get to places! One issue we know that people run into is not being able to find your car in the giant Disney World parking lots. They’re HUGE! It’s so easy to forget where you parked at 8AM after being in the parks for over 12 hours. Parking lot entrance So, if this happens to you, don’t worry! You can simply find a Cast Member and tell them around what time you got there and parked. Then, they can radio the office, where they keep a log of the times they were parking which rows, so it will at least give you a general area where you can look for your car! They’re so big, you need trams to get around! Another car issue that can happen is having your car not start. It’s such a bad feeling to get back to your car after being in the parks for a long day and it not starting, especially if you’re just trying to get home to your bed or back to your hotel room. Luckily, there is a solution for this, too! Wave down parking lot security and they will be able to assist you with getting the help and supplies you need to jump start your car. Parking at Walt Disney World To avoid both of these situations as much as you can, make sure to take a picture of where you parked, including the section and the row, or write it down in your notes app. You can even text it to others in your group in case your phone dies! As for your car dying, we know that is a bit harder to control, but always double check that you don’t leave any lights on or anything when you park your car. Losing Something Losing a pair of Minnie ears or a new Pluto plush is super sad, for sure — but losing something really important like your wallet or your phone is next level stressful! If this happens to you in Disney World, the first thing you should do is retrace your steps and go back to the last place you know you had the item. Ask Cast Members around the area if they saw what you lost or if anyone has turned in anything. If you lose something while on a ride, ask the Cast Members at the end of the attraction if anything has been turned in. The Lost and Found on Jungle Cruise probably won’t be able to help you! If you still can’t find your lost item, go to Guest Relations! There is a lost and found at Guest Relations in every park and in most of the hotels. In addition to this, you can also fill out a lost and found form online that will help Disney track down your item. You can find out more about where all of the lost and found locations are and the form to fill out right here. Guest Relations at EPCOT If you lose your wallet with your ID inside and can’t find it before you have to leave Disney World (for example, if you have a flight to catch), Disney can still help. A Cast Member can assist you in filing a police report with Orange County, Florida about a stolen or lost ID. Losing Someone Losing something important is stressful, but losing SOMEONE is downright terrifying. Parents and kids can get separated in the parks, so be aware on what you can do to prevent this or quickly find who you’re looking for. The first thing you should do as a a preventative measure is introduce your kids to Cast Members and show them what they look like. Point out their special nametags so they can make sure they know how to find a Cast Member if they get lost. Emphasize to your kids to find a Cast Member as soon as possible if they get lost. Cast Members are the BEST! If you get separated from your child, find a Cast Member immediately, and stay in the area, especially if you’re alone. Your child will most likely still be in the vicinity so you don’t want to run off to look for them and end up getting even further away. Give the Cast Member a description of your child and what they are wearing. They will notify their supervisor and security ASAP. Once they have enough details, they will report the missing kid’s description to the central communication center so all Cast Members can be on the lookout. Cast Members Cast Members will keep kids in the area where they found them for a little while. After that, they’ll escort them to either the park’s Baby Care Center (if they’re under 10 years old) or Guest Relations (if they’re over 10 years old). Cast Members are trained to know what to do in these situations AND how to keep kids calm in these situations. Trust that they know what to do and are there to help you! Baby Care Center in Magic Kingdom Other things you can do to prevent this from happening are to make sure your child knows your cell phone number or to get temporary tattoos to put on them that have your cell phone number. You can find them for $5 on Amazon.com! It’s also good to make a game plan with your kiddos on where to meet if you get separated. And, take a picture each day of your kids and what they’re wearing so you have the most accurate photos and descriptions available to help Cast Members find them if they get lost. Click here to learn more about what to do if you get separated from your child in Disney World Getting Sick or Injured If you are having a medical emergency in Disney World, find a Cast Member right away. They are all trained to help you. They also can communicate with 911 more efficiently because they know all of the correct information about where you are in the parks. Cast Members are here to help! If it is not an emergency, go to the First Aid centers! Here’s where you can find them: In Magic Kingdom — First Aid is located between The Crystal Palace and Casey’s Corner, as you’re walking towards Adventureland. In EPCOT — First Aid is located in the Odyssey Center between Future World and the World Showcase, near the Mexico Pavilion. In Hollywood Studios — First Aid is located in the guest relations building on Hollywood Boulevard, right near the park entrance. In Animal Kingdom — First Aid is located in Discovery Island right next to Creature Comforts. First Aid Station These First Aid centers can help you with many minor issues like headaches, scrapes, and more. They are equipped with sample sizes of all kinds of common medication, and it’s FREE! But, keep in mind that the medications they carry are standard basics, like antacids, pain relievers, etc. If you need more specialized meds, you’ll be directed to a gift shop. First Aid Each First Aid Center also has a licensed nurse who is equipped to treat you. For allergic reactions, First Aid Centers have EpiPens, and nurses are also able to administer injections for illnesses like diabetes. Another great thing you can do through First Aid is get your prescriptions! You can have prescriptions delivered to First Aid Stations through Turner Drugs (but they are PRICEY) or straight to your Disney World hotel by utilizing Disney’s new partnership with AdventHealth. You can also get your prescription filled at a local pharmacy like CVS and take your car or an Uber over to pick it up. EPCOT First Aid If you need to see a doctor for a medical issue, there are ways to do that now too! There are many Telehealth services where you can set up a virtual appointment so you won’t even have to leave Disney World — your own doctor back home may even offer Telehealth appointments now. Plus, through Disney’s new partnership with AdventHealth, there are virtual services available for those who have healthcare questions while in Disney World. This includes things like Emergency Room resources as well as Urgent Care and Virtual Care. You can even have a doctor come to your room with the new Doctor2Me service. Read more about Disney’s new partnership with AdventHealth HERE Using Genie+ This one obviously isn’t as serious as the other issues listed above, but the Genie+ system in Disney World can definitely be stressful! Our first tip is to figure out how it works BEFORE your trip, not during your trip, or you’re just going to get frustrated. Luckily, we have many, MANY posts and videos to help you out with that! Disney Genie Genie+ is the program that has replaced FastPass+ in Disney World. It allows you to make reservations to use the Lightning Lane (old FastPass+ lane) for many attractions across the parks, essentially letting you skip the standby line. It costs $15 per day, per person. Lightning Lane sign at Princess Fairytale Hall You can make reservations to use the Lightning Lane for rides starting at 7AM on the day of your park ticket. But, you can only make a reservation for one ride at a time, however, there is an exception to that rule, which you can read more about here. Also know that you can only do each ride one time through Genie+. If you want to ride it again, you have to wait in the regular line. Read MORE about the 120-minute rule HERE! There are also a few rides not included in Genie+ that you have to pay individually for in order to use their Lightning Lanes. The prices for these rides change based on demand, like surge pricing with Uber. Lightning Lane sign at EPCOT’s Frozen Ever After Be aware that you can only purchase 2 of these individual Lightning Lane attractions per day, and they cannot be modified or canceled. These rides can also sell out of Lightning Lane availability, so make sure you grab the ones you want as soon as you can (which is 7AM if you’re a Disney hotel guest or at park open for other guests). Rise of the Resistance Lightning Lane Another big tip we have is to screenshot EVERYTHING you’re doing on Genie+, like when you make Lightning Lane reservations, so you can show them to a Cast Member if you have any issues or glitches. They can usually help you if you have proof of the issue! Click here to read more about how Genie+ works Ticket Issues Ticket issues can happen as well during your Disney World trip! If your travel plans change and you need to change the dates of your tickets, first see if you can move them online through My Disney Experience. Remember that you will also have to switch around your Park Pass Reservations. Scan Your Ticket! If you cannot, talk to a Cast Member through Guest Relations and explain the situation — usually they can help if it’s something that was out of your control like your flight getting canceled!

Overall, remember that Cast Members can help you with more problems than you may think, because they are trained for all kinds of situations!
