If you are a creature of habit, Disney World might be a tough place for you right now. 50’s Prime Time Cafe While some things in Disney World have remained the same, we’ve seen a TON of changes too. Menu overhauls, price increases, construction changes, supply shortages — there’s a lot going on. Over at 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the menu has gotten a revamp, with some brand NEW items and some returning favorites. So just what can you expect if you stop by this fan-favorite spot now? We went to try it out and we’re taking you with us! Atmosphere Hop in friends, we’re going to…the 50’s?! 50’s Prime Time Cafe is a restaurant located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that truly embodies that retro feel. Love That Vibe The restaurant is themed to make you feel like you’re back in Mom’s kitchen. You’ll be served by Cast Members claiming to be your cousin, uncle, or other “family members” — and they’ll treat you like it too! No elbows on the table! Lay out the utensils on your own! Don’t forget to finish your veggies! It really is like being back at home! Get Ready for Some Fun The inside of the restaurant truly takes you back in time with that retro design carried throughout the furniture. It’s basically cubes of jello made to look like stained glass. Y’all this treat is giving us major childhood vibes. Also, anyone else feel like they’re back at a buffet with those cubes of jello on the buffet line for dessert? (C’mon, you know what we’re talking about!) Okay, but aside from looks, how does this thing taste? Well, folks, sometimes simple really is best. This dessert was INCREDIBLE! A Total Win! It was so light and refreshing, we couldn’t get enough! We loved all of the Jell-O flavors that had been mixed together. It felt like eating fresh fruit but in dessert form! It wasn’t not overly sweet and the fact that it was served nice and cold made it so refreshing! So Good! Seriously, there’s not a thing we’d change about this one (except maybe asking that they serve us MORE because it’s that good!). If you love Jell-O, trust us when we say you’ve GOT to try this. Don’t Miss This! And that’s it for our lunch! So, should you eat here, particularly after these menu changes? We’ve got thoughts! Nosh or Not Stop by 50’s Prime Time Cafe if: You’re looking for a fun environment that gives you food and a show: There might not be a full dinner theater going on here or a character experience, but 50’s Prime Time Cafe delivers on entertainment via its hilarious Cast Members. If you’re okay with being heckled and having a bit of fun, this could be the perfect place. You are looking for classic eats that’ll feel like mom’s cooking: The whole theme of 50’s Prime Time Cafe is that it’s mom’s kitchen, and the menu delivers on that. Fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken pot pie — these are comfort foods that’ll really make you feel at home. They’re not the most unique things in the world, but if you’re okay with that, then you could really enjoy this. You’re looking for a meal that won’t break the bank: While this isn’t the cheapest meal you can have in Disney World, it’s also not the most expensive. Entrees range in price from $17 to $27. Of course, the $27 entrees aren’t exactly cheap, but they’re not as bad as the $62 you’ll spend per adult at Be Our Guest (taking into account that the $62 does include more than just an entree). So if you’re looking for something nicer than a quick service but not as expensive as some of the signature spots, this could be a good middle ground. Would You Give it a Try? Skip 50’s Prime Time Cafe if: You’re looking to eat in peace and quiet: The Cast Members here are truly playing a role/character, and they play it well. They’ll heckle you, poke fun at you for putting your elbows on the table, and truly treat you the way that family does. So if you don’t want to get heckled, don’t want to be made fun of (in a sarcastic way), and don’t want to play along with the story of this place, SKIP this spot. You’re looking for a place that feels very open and spacious: The seating here is all indoors and is a bit cramped in spots. If you’re looking for a place where things feel really spread out, consider heading elsewhere. You want food that is fancy or really unique: If you want something that’ll make you feel fancy (like, pinkies up fancy) this isn’t it. You’ll be better off heading to a place like The Hollywood Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios for a fancier meal. Also, if you’re an adventurous eater looking for unique snacks you can’t find anywhere else, this isn’t exactly it. You’ll find more unique food items over in EPCOT as you dine around the World. Overall Getting a dining reservation at 50’s Prime Time Cafe can be a bit tough, so just be sure to try and plan well in advance or keep checking back. Dining reservations appeared to be all full at first, but after repeatedly checking Disney’s website, we were able to find something, so it pays to be persistent! If You Clean Your Plate, You Can Get One of These!! Again, we’ve gotta give it up for the servers here. Our server was FANTASTIC. They played their character role perfectly — giving both mean and nice vibes, and they really stuck to their acting the whole time. But they also knew the food and the menu well, were playing with the guests, and really made things special. Our good came out super fast too — which was kind-of a surprise given how busy they were at the time of our visit. A Look at the Retro Decor Overall, the food is really good, and we truly enjoyed some of the new additions (the desserts we had were fantastic, the deviled eggs won over even an egg-hater, and the tomato soup was really great as well), but it’s the environment and the Cast Members that really make this place special.

It’s no secret that here at DFB, we love cheese. We don’t even care if it’s fancy cheese — plastic cheese is also a vibe. Plastic cheese <3 But as much as we love cheese, we can’t say it’s crossed our minds to WEAR cheese. We don’t mean like a shirt with cheese on it either — we’re talking walking around smelling like cheese. Still, this may be the most interesting cheese accessory we’ve ever seen. When it comes down to cheeses we love, we enjoy Velveeta Cheese as much as the next person. Who doesn’t like to dig into a big bowl of Velveeta Shells & Cheese or a Velveeta queso dip?? We’re just not sure we’ve ever looked at that bright yellow cheese and thought, “I wish Velveeta existed as nail polish.” ©Velveeta Well, Velveeta decided to answer the demand for cheese nail polish, which we suppose totally definitely exists. And it’s not just the color of Velveeta, y’all — it’s also CHEESE SCENTED. Not only can you look like you just dipped your fingers in some melted Velveeta cheese, but you can also smell like it. A dream come true, truly. ©Velveeta x NailsINC Velveeta collaborated with nail polish company Nails.INC to create the Cheese Scented Nail Polish Duo, including La Dolce Velveeta yellow and Finger Food red. We feel obligated to mention that this nail polish is NOT made of cheese, as stated specifically on the Nails.INC website. So no, you can’t eat it, sadly — but it might make you hungry. ©NailsINC As reported by NBC 9 News, The Kraft Heinz Company Senior Brand Communications Manager Kelsey Rice said in a press release, “Velveeta is known for its rich, creamy texture and cheesy, melty goodness, so what better way to bring this to life for our fans than with something equally as rich and creamy — nail polish.” We’re not sure if nail polish is the first thing that comes to mind for us, but sure. ©Velveeta x NailsINC If you want to smell like cheese all day, you can grab the Cheese Scented Nail Polish Duo on the NailsINC website for $15, but note that this set has already sold out! Apparently, the demand for cheese-scented nail polish is real. You can sign up on the NailsINC website for in stock notifications.

If you’ve never been to the GCH Craftsman Grill in Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa, you’re missing out on one thing. Specifically hot dogs. Craftsman Grill The GCH Craftsman Grill features a new hot dog every month for Disneyland Resort, and we’ve had some interesting dogs! From a Gordita Dog to a Banh Mi Dog to the very strange Trick or Treat Dog, the Craftsman is not serving your typical theme park hot dogs. Now that it’s June it’s a new month which means — you guessed it — it’s time for a new hot dog! Any ideas about the theme this month? We doubt you’ll guess it! For the month of June, you can visit the GCH Craftsman Grill to try the Godfather Dog! This hot dog is $13 and it’s inspired by Father’s Day. You get a Beef Hot Dog with Salami, Pepperoni, Prosciutto, and Shredded Lettuce, drizzled with Italian Dressing, garnished with Pepperoncini, and served with French Fries. Godfather Dog Y’all, this is THE hot dog for meat lovers. The pepperoni, prosciutto, and salami all tasted fresh and flavorful and they were our favorite parts of this hot dog. The lettuce and Italian dressing added a tangy refreshing crunch, and the pepperoncini had a nice (but not too strong!) spicy flavor, as well as some sweetness. Godfather Dog We probably could have done without the Italian dressing, but it wasn’t a bad addition. If you enjoy deli meats and Italian-style foods, this might be worth a try! That’s a lot of meat! If you’re not a fan of Italian dressing but still want to try the Godfather Dog, you could try to ask for it to be served without any Italian dressing. But if you’re not a big meat eater, this is probably a skip for you. The GCH Craftsman Grill is located in Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa, which you can get to from Downtown Disney or from inside Disney California Adventure. Perfect for meat lovers And if you’re looking for another unique type of hot dog in Disneyland Resort, you can visit Refreshment Corner in Disneyland Park to try the Electric Relish Dog, an all-beef hot dog topped with bacon, a mustard cheese sauce, electric relish, and sport peppers for $11.99. Electric Relish Hot Dog Disneyland has you covered with it comes to unique hot dogs! Keep following DFB for next month’s Hot Dog of the Month!

Not long ago Disney announced the first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion ticketed event, a four-hour event during which Disney will celebrate the last six decades of graduating classes in Disney California Adventure. ©Disney This event will allow guests to experience exclusive offerings not typically available in Disneyland Resort, such as special cafeteria-inspired dishes, characters, photo ops, entertainment, and more. Today Disney revealed a few more details about this brand new event, and we know the dates and some of the food that guests can choose from! The 2022 Disneyland After Dark: Grad Nite Reunion will take place at Disney California Adventure on Thursday, June 23rd, Tuesday, June 28th, and Thursday, June 30th, 2022. The event will take place from 8PM to 12AM, with the pre-party kicking off at 5PM — which means ticket holders can enter the park (no park reservation necessary) three hours before the event officially begins. Ticket prices depend on the date, and the prices vary from $150 to $154. ©Disney When it comes to entertainment, there will be a pep rally that takes place on the usual parade route in California Adventure, with Mickey’s glee club and Goofy’s dance team performing to music provided by the All-American College Band. In Cars Land, guests can join a Route 66 street party inspired by the 1960s, led by the DJ “Hot-Rod,” with the dance instructor “Cam” teaching the Hully Gully. Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Another graduating class dance party will be available in Hollywood Land, where guests can dance to more modern hits from genres such as hip hop, cumbia, reggae, pop, funk, and more. And in Pacific Wharf, there will be lots of singing to karaoke disco tracks from the 1970s and 1980s. ©Disney Select attractions will be available throughout the event and in our experience, they tend to have much shorter wait times during after hours events than a regular day in the parks. Disney California Adventure Other special opportunities will include character meet-and-greets with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Daisy, Chip, and Dale wearing their graduation caps and gowns. You can also picture yourself on a “school bus!” ©Disney When it comes to food, guests will be able to try dishes like the OG Hot Dog from Award Wieners, which is a bacon-wrapped all-beef footlong hot dog with grilled onions, mayo, mustard, spicy ketchup, and pickled jalapeno relish served on a toasted bun with choice of mandarin oranges or filmstrip fries. ©Disney Nearby at Schmoozies!, guests can try the All That and a Berry Cereal Shake, a vanilla ice cream shake with crunchy cereal topped with whipped cream and berry cereal. ©Disney If you’re looking for pizza, guests can try the Stupendous Sriracha & Bacon Pizza Slice from Pym Test Kitchen in Avengers Campus. This spicy sriracha pizza is made with spicy candied bacon and fried eggs served with kale Caesar salad. ©Disney Looking for a dessert item in Avengers Campus? The It’s Like a Unicorn Raspberry Cheesecake Ration from Terran Treats is a yellow raspberry-flavored spiral churro with cheesecake icing. ©Disney Over in Cars Land, the Cherry Cone-vertible from Cozy Cone Motel is made with vanilla soft serve served in a cinnamon bread cone with warm cherries. ©Disney In Grizzly Park, Smokejumpers Grill will be serving the Cheeseburger Mac Burger, which comes with double burger patties topped with cheeseburger mac, burger sauce, pickles, and cheese sauce served with crinkle-cut fries. ©Disney And from Goofy’s Churro Cart, the Bling Bling Cereal Churro is a classic churro rolled in chocolate cookie crumbs, topped with cereal mix and condensed milk. ©Disney Take a look at the summed up perks included in a ticket to the Disneyland After Dark: Grad Night Reunion: Early admission to Disney California Adventure beginning at 5PM (no theme park reservation required) Character experiences with some of them dressed in their graduation best Dance parties in several locations around California Adventure Disney PhotoPass retro backdrops and unlimited downloads of PhotoPass photos taken during the event Cafeteria-inspired nostalgia eats available throughout the park and on Mobile Order Shorter wait times at available attractions during the event Keepsakes you can take home, including a commemorative credential and a guide map Party attire is encouraged!

Disney parks: they’re the land of snacks and souvenirs, and some items that combine both of those things into 1! Disneyland One popular treat and merchandise combo comes in the form of popcorn buckets! We’ve seen all kinds of popcorn buckets released in the past, including ones shaped like Mickey balloons, ones themed to Figment (we’ll never forget that one!), and more. Now, a NEW popcorn bucket has arrived in Disneyland and it’s one you might not be able to resist grabbing! We’ve seen a number of Mickey balloon popcorn buckets in Disneyland before including a shiny blue one… Be on the lookout for these souvenir buckets on your next trip to Disneyland! …and a red one. Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket in Disneyland But now a new one has arrived! Over at Disney California Adventure Park (at Disneyland Resort) we found a SHINY Mickey balloon popcorn bucket that’s got all kinds of fun colors! Simple, classic, a colorful design, and Mickey Mouse?! It’s one you might not be able to resist! The popcorn bucket features Mickey’s face front and center. The colors on the balloon go from a yellow on the bottom to a green in the middle and finally a blue on the top. What Do You Think?

Disney World is expensive, there’s no way to get around it! But there are a few ways to save a little cash and still have a great time, especially when it comes to dining. Magic Kingdom That’s why we’re looking at what to get at some of the cheapest restaurants in Disney World, and trust us, you won’t be missing table service restaurants when you see some of these offerings! Magic Kingdom The Friar’s Nook First off is The Friar’s Nook! This hidden gem in Fantasyland is known for its ever-changing menu and features fun spins on familiar dishes, as well as some great breakfast options. Toad Burger Our personal recommendations from this spot are the Creamy Bacon Mac & Cheese Tots ($11.49), which are loaded Tater Tots with — you guessed it — Macaroni and Cheese and Bacon, or the Wild Toad Brat Burger ($13.49), which is a 50th Anniversary Brat Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, American Cheese, topped with Olive Skewer Eyes served with Tater Bites. Click Here to Read Our Review of the Wild Toad Brat Burger! EPCOT Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe inside the Norway Pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase is home to freshly baked sweets, savory bites, and Norwegian draft beer! There’s also some great outdoor seating, making it a good pit-stop during a long EPCOT day. School Bread featuring Olaf! When it comes to Kringla, we’d recommend the Norwegian Kringla ($6.29) — a pretzel-shaped pastry topped with almonds or chocolate — or the School Bread ($4.49) (a sweet roll with custard and coconut). Click Here to Read Our Review of the School Bread! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie In the France Pavilion, Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is known for its sweet baked goods, its delicious soups and sandwiches, and wonderful French treats! Can man live on bread alone? We think so. There are a LOT of great dishes we could recommend, here are a few highlights: Bisque de Homard (Lobster Bisque in Bread Bowl) ($5.95), the Croissant Jambon Fromage (Ham, Cheese and Bechamel Sauce in a Croissant) ($6.95), Pain Au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant) ($3.80), and the Baguette ($3.50). See reviews of 21 eats from Les Halles here! Yorkshire County Fish Shop Yorkshire County Fish Shop is located in the UK Pavilion of EPCOT with a pretty straightforward, simple menu (but that’s what we love about it!). The Fish and Chips! Besides the occasional seasonal treat, Yorkshire makes one thing and makes it very very well: Fish & Chips ($12.99)! These beer-battered fishies are pure heaven and bring authentic British fish & chips to Orlando. Click Here to Read Our Review of The New Fish & Chips Recipe! Hollywood Studios Ronto Roasters Ronto Roasters in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is a spot famous for its wraps and unique breakfast and lunch offerings. Ronto Wrap The most popular item on the menu is the Ronto Wrap ($12.99), which is Roasted Pork, Grilled Pork Sausage, Peppercorn Sauce, and Tangy Slaw wrapped in Pita Bread, but they also have great breakfast offerings like the plant-based Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap ($11.49)! Click Here to Read Our Review of the Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap! Woody’s Lunchbox Woody’s Lunchbox in Toy Story Land features nostalgic schoolyard food with a twist! Here you’ll find a lot of childhood favorites with a twist. TOTCHOS!

Click here to read our latest Woody’s Lunchbox review! ABC Commissary ABC Commissary is a bit of silent assassin on this list: for a long time, it was mostly overlooked and considered pretty basic, but over the years it’s become a hit with interesting, internationally-inspired food! ABC Commissary If you’re heading to ABC Commissary, we’d recommend trying either any of the street tacos ($11.49-$12.99) or the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese ($11.29). Read our latest ABC Commissary review HERE! Animal Kingdom Satu’li Canteen Satu’li Canteen, located in Pandora: World of Avatar, is a very unique dining experience, featuring otherworldly twists on familiar foods. Cheeseburger Pods! Pretty much anything from this spot is a winner, but we’d recommend the unique Cheeseburger Pods ($12.79) or one of the custom bowls ($12.99-$17.49)! Click Here to Read Our Review of the Cheeseburger Pods! Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe is a quicker counterpart to the Yak & Yeti table-service restaurant, featuring Pan-Asian cuisine and delicious treats! Local Foods Cafe Two of our favorites are the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13.99) and the side of Chicken Fried Rice ($5.99)! Click Here to Read Our Review of the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich! Restaurantosaurus Restaurantosaurus is a straight-forward restaurant that does classic American cuisine and does it very very well. There aren’t many adventurous dishes on this menu, but you won’t feel like you’re missing out. All the fixin’s Whether you grab the Bacon Cheeseburger ($12.29) or the Foot-Long Hot Dog ($11.99), you really can’t go wrong with this menu! Click Here to Read Our Review of Restaurantosaurus! Disney Springs Chicken Guy! Guy Fieri’s restaurant Chicken Guy! is the Mayor of Flavortown’s spin on a fast-food restaurant, and it’s all about chicken tenders and delicious sauces! The Loaded Mac Daddy Unsurprisingly, the highlights at this restaurant are the Chicken Tenders & Fries ($5.99 and Up), the 22 Sauce Options, and the Mac Daddy Mac and Cheese ($4.49)! Click Here to Read Our Review of Chicken Guy! Morimoto Asia Street Food Morimoto Asia Street Food is the simpler, quick-service version of the fine dining restaurant Morimoto Asia, but don’t let that fool you! It’s just as fancy and delicious as its table-service counterpart. This restaurant features Pan-Asian cuisine with a fine dining twist. The Spicy Ginger Chicken Ramen Whether you get one of the restaurant’s Ramen Bowls ($12-$14), Pork Egg Rolls ($8 for 2), or Baby Ribs ($10 for 3), you’ll be in for a unique treat. Click Here to Read Our Review of Morimoto Asia Street Food’s Ramen! Earl of Sandwich Earl of Sandwich is a classic spot and longtime favorite for many Disney fans, and for good reason! This location, which is part of a larger chain of restaurants, is known for delicious hot sandwiches that feature creative flavors. Holiday Turkey Sandwich We’d recommend the Original 1762 ($8.99) with Roast Beef, Cheddar, and Horseradish Sauce; Earl’s Club ($8.99) with Turkey, Bacon, Swiss, Lettuce, Roma Tomato, and Sandwich Sauce; and the Holiday Turkey ($8.99) with Turkey, Cornbread Stuffing, Turkey Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, and Mayonnaise. But honestly, pretty much everything is good here! Click HERE to read our latest Earl of Sandwich review! Cookes of Dublin Cookes of Dublin, located next to Raglan Road in Disney Springs, is known for its combination of Irish pub food and fast food! If you love all things beer-battered and fried, this is the spot for you. Dubliner Irish Cheese and Bacon Dip with Side of Onion Rings The two major highlights of this spot are the Famous Fish & Chips ($14.99) and the Dubliner Irish Cheese & Bacon Dip ($5.50), which we consider a must-have dish! Click Here to Read More About Cookes of Dublin! Disney World Resorts Capt. Cook’s Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort features island-inspired dishes and iconic treats! Tonga Toast is a must This one was the ultimate no-brainer for us: Tonga Toast ($10.49). It’s a delicious Banana-stuffed Sourdough Bread, Battered, Deep-fried, and Dusted with Cinnamon-Sugar and it’s absolutely perfect! Plus, you can find great noodles here ($9.29) that are a massive highlight. We also LOVE the Pulled Pork Nachos ($9.99) and the Pan-Asian Noodles and Vegetables ($9.29). Read our most recent review of Capt. Cooks here! Contempo Café Contempo Café, located in the Contemporary Resort, is a counter-service option that offers great, quick meals throughout the day and AMAZING desserts. Peanut Butter Banana Pie Our recommendation from Contempo would be one of our all-time favorites, the Peanut Butter Pie ($5.19) or its 50th Anniversary counterpart the Peanut Butter Banana Pie ($5.29), but also just the dessert items in general — they’re delicious! Click Here to Read Our Review of the Peanut Butter Banana Pie! Roaring Fork The Roaring Fork at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is known for its rustic American cuisine and some truly amazing and unique cupcakes!

Click Here to Read Our Review of Roaring Fork’s Chicken and Waffles! The Mara The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is famous for its unique eats and African-inspired dishes, but it’s most famous for one thing… Zebra Domes …Zebra Domes ($4.59)!

Are you ready for a trip to Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom! This Disney World park is quite the party these days, with returned (and new!) entertainment options, 50th Anniversary celebrations, and lots of limited-time snacks. But if you haven’t stopped by in the past week, there’s a lot of news you may have missed — we’re sharing everything that’s new in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Gaston’s Tavern Let’s start things out with some new snacks! First up, we got the Goofy Dome Cake at Gaston’s Tavern a few days ago. This new treat is made with dark chocolate mousse with orange curd and candied orange peel on top of chocolate flourless cake. You can grab it for $8.29, but fair warning — this treat is VERY rich! Goofy’s Dome Cake We did really enjoy the variety of flavors, although it wanted to melt pretty quickly. We recommend eating this one indoors because that Florida sun is INTENSE! See Our Full Review of the Dome Cake Here! Castle Hub Churro Cart But the dome cake wasn’t the only new sweet treat in Disney World this week — we got a bunch of snacks in Magic Kingdom this week for the summertime, and one of those is the Tropical Serenade Churro. This churro is rolled in pineapple sugar, drizzled with marshmallow cream, and topped with sugar flowers and pineapple chunks. Tropical Serenade Churro In our book, it was a BIG winner! It was sugary, fresh, and fruity — all the flavors we were hoping to have. You can order it at the churro stand by Cinderella Castle for $7.25. Click Here to See Our Review of the Churro! Castle Hub Popcorn Cart Across the castle hub, you’ll find one of Magic Kingdom’s busiest popcorn carts. There, guests can order two new treats — the Pride Cake Pops. New cake pops! These colorful treats are $5.25 each and are part of a long list of new snacks for the month of June. (And while you’re there, pick up your Mickey Mouse 50th Anniversary popcorn bucket, because he was in stock!) Plaza Ice Cream Parlor Due to the peanut butter shortage, we’ve noticed some menu changes in Disney World over the past few days and weeks. One of those menu changes was that peanut butter sauce had been removed from the list of options at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street, U.S.A. Not our beloved peanut butter sauce! However, when we stopped by a few days ago, we were informed that the sauce is BACK! It’s not updated on the main menu yet, but you can ask for it currently when you order. (If you want our recommendation — it goes GREAT on chocolate ice cream. ) Click Here to Learn More About the Peanut Butter Recall! Magic Kingdom Construction Updates TRON Construction It wouldn’t be a visit to Magic Kingdom without glancing at the construction progress on the upcoming TRON coaster! Work is still being done outside the ride building, where most of the ground is covered in dirt at this point. Things are moving along! We spotted lots of construction equipment and even a new barricade up this week, so it’s possible we could see some updates coming soon. Can’t wait! Memento Mori And over at the Haunted Mansion gift shop, Memento Mori, the construction we’d been watching for a few weeks has been completed. At this time, all the walls are down in the shop. Memento Mori has a new look! The registers have actually been moved to the area that was formerly used for taking pictures, so things may look a little bit moved around on your next visit. Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates The Emporium Okay, now it’s time to deep dive into the merchandise that we spotted in the past few days. There were a LOT of new items in The Emporium, so buckle up! First of all, we spotted a new Graduation Stitch Plush for $24.99. He looks so fancy! Other grad-related items include the new Graduation Mickey Ear Hat with “Class of 2022” written on the back. If you just wrapped up your school year and you’re taking your grad trip to Disney World, this would be a great souvenir! Get it for $29.99. Congrats to the class of 2022! We also got several new merchandise items inspired by the latest Pixar film, Turning Red. First, there’s a notebook and stationery set for $22.99… It comes with all the accessories! …followed by a Mei Red Panda Plush for $22.99… It’s so fluffy! …and finally, a new figurine set with characters from the movie. This one is $24.99. It has all the popular characters. Oddly enough, we spotted some Tower of Terror merchandise in Magic Kingdom this week. Four new Hollywood Tower Hotel pins arrived, each themed to different classic Disney characters. First up, we’ve got the Mickey Mouse pin that folds for $17.99. The folding pin. There’s also a pin inspired by Minnie Mouse that you can purchase for $9.99. She looks like a classic Hollywood queen! It’s Minnie Mouse! Or maybe you’re more of a Pluto fan? He’s got one as well for $9.99. A Pluto pin as well. And of course, there’s also an elevator design — in this one, Goofy’s the bellhop! (Let’s hope that elevator doesn’t go crashing down!) This pin is $12.99. The Goofy pin. Maybe you’re not a pin collector, but you’re interested in shopping for other collectibles? If so, there are lots of new options! More Wishables have joined the lineup in The Emporium, with the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure-inspired group. You can buy the Emile Wishable separately for $14.99… Hey Emile! …or you can pick up the mystery pack for the same price. With this bag, you’ll get a randomized plush out of a group of different designs. A lot of guests find it fun to try and collect them all! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Wishables Another popular collectible (and still in the realm of plushes) are nuiMOs! These posable toys can be dressed up in outfits to match the apparel that Disney World sells, and now you can buy Marie from The Aristocats for $19.99. A new nuiMO is here! Disney mugs are also a very popular item to collect! This week, Magic Kingdom got a new design inspired by Lady & the Tramp. We don’t get to see merchandise from this movie very often, so grab it while you can for $19.99. It’s a Lady mug! Speaking of dogs, you can buy accessories for your pets in the parks as well! This new collapsible Mickey Mouse Pet Food Bowl would be a great gift to bring home to your fur baby for $19.99. Even the dog gets a souvenir! We also spotted this fun summery Stitch-themed bag in the store for $29.99. It has a bright floral pattern that’s perfect for the spring and summer seasons. New Stitch Bag We spotted two new pens, great for those looking to snag some character autographs. First, we’ve got one inspired by a severely underrepresented character — Celia from Monsters, Inc. We hardly ever see Celia merch! The other pen is made to look just like Princess Jasmine! You can grab either one of these for $12.99. She’s even wearing her iconic outfit. These new Gingham Minnie Ears have arrived across Disney World property just in time for summer — they remind us of a picnic in an open field! You can pick them up for $29.99. We have a feeling they’ll be a big hit! And finally, we’ve got a new 50th Anniversary Loungefly Backpack for $80. We love that pattern! It has popular ride icons stitched all over the outside — how fun! Star Traders But that’s not all the new merchandise — there are several other shops that got new items! If you want a new accessory for your nuiMO, there’s another option for that as well. The incredibly popular Pride Mickey Lougefly Backpack is now available in a teeny tiny version so that you and your plush can match. Get it for $21.99. It’s an itty bitty backpack! Star Traders also got a new Disney World Tank Top in this week. New shirt alert! You can buy this design for $36.99. Uptown Jewelers Back to Main Street, Uptown Jewelers has some new (and very pricey) merchandise! The Citizen Captain American Watch and Pin Set that we spotted is a whopping $450. WOWZA! Two new Dress Shop dresses arrived too. The first one is a Main Street Electrical Parade pattern… It looks like the rest of the MSEP anniversary items! …and the other is a black-and-white polka-dotted Minnie Mouse frock! You can grab either of these for $128. It’s a classic! And we can’t forget about what may be one of Disney World’s priciest t-shirts ever — this new design from Coach. Coach T-shirt Want to take a guess at how expensive it is? It’s $150, which is wild for a DIsney shirt, but a little more in line with what you might expect from Coach. Click Here to Get All the Details on the Pricey Tee! Main Street Cinema Main Street Cinema is currently home to the popular Vault Collection for the 50th Anniversary, and we’ve seen two new items join the collection in the past week. The Vault Collection Bucket Hat is reversible and available for $29.99. Vault Collection Bucket Hat And when they say they’ve got you covered in merchandise from head to toe, they really mean it because the other new item is a pair of socks! Vault Collection Socks You can grab these for $14.99. Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. Over at the exit of Space Mountain, the Tomorrowland Light & Power Co is a great place to stop and look for tech-based Disney souvenirs. This week, we spotted a new Castle Phone Case here. What a cool design! IT’s available for $34.99 and comes in a few different sizes. General And last but not least, we’ve got a brand-new balloon on Main Street, U.S.A.! This Mickey Mouse design has an iridescent glow to it and confetti printed on the outside. You can grab one for $15. A new balloon! That’s everything that’s new in Magic Kingdom for now, but it’s not all the excitement that’s happening in Disney World in the next few weeks! We’ve got more returning entertainment, restaurant reopenings, and popular transportation options coming back very soon. If you’re coming to Disney World in the next few months, there are a lot of changes you’ll need to know about, and we’ll make sure you’re covered with the latest!

Just keep swimming your way to June 13th, which will be a huge day in Animal Kingdom!

When we first learned that the innovative ice cream shop Salt & Straw would be coming to Disney World, we were giddy with excitement. Salt & Straw Disney Springs Known for their unique flavors and fresh take on ice cream using natural, organic ingredients — Salt & Straw has often impressed us but has sometimes left us very, very confused. The beginning of a new month means NEW flavors at Salt & Straw, and based on what we heard was coming in June, we were intrigued, to say the least. Fried chicken ice cream? And deviled egg ice cream?! Let’s check out the NEW June flavors at Salt & Straw in Disney Springs and see if any are worth getting! Salt & Straw is well-known for coming up with unique and innovative ice cream flavors, and each month the popular shop releases NEW treats for fans to try. When we first heard about the flavors coming in June (Deviled Egg and Fried Chicken?!), we knew we had to check them out! Summer Picnic Series flavors We started off strong and got a split scoop of the Cinnamon and Honey Fried Chicken and Deviled Egg Custard with Smoked Black Tea for $7.45. There is A LOT going on here, so let’s start with the Cinnamon and Honey Fried Chicken. Cinnamon and Honey Fried Chicken Ice Cream and Deviled Egg with Smoked Black Tea ice cream (Fried Chicken Ice Cream is on the right) This is a salted vanilla ice cream churned with fresh croissant pieces deep-fried in chicken fat(!!!) and a secret spice blend for some heat. This was straight-up delicious — the croissant pieces really tasted like fried chicken and the ice cream had a nice, light cinnamon flavor to it. Fried chicken ice cream! Every time we bit into the croissant bits, it was like a salty flavor blast! Combined with the sweetness of the ice cream, this was the perfect sweet and salty treat, but we do wish we could taste more of the honey flavor — hot honey would have been an added bonus! If you’re not a fan of salty desserts, we’d skip this flavor! Thanks to the Florida heat, it melted quickly, but if you’re looking for a non-dairy dessert that’s light and refreshing this might just be it! And that’s our link at the Salt & Straw flavors for this month. Which one would you most like to try?! Check Out Our Ultimate Guide to Disney Springs Dining! Salt & Straw may be delicious, but it isn’t the only spot to grab a sweet treat in Disney Springs. We love Amorette’s Patisserie for some fun takes on classic culinary favorites, and Gideon’s Bakehouse is serving up half-pound cookies you need to see to believe.

WARNING: If you love Disney collectibles, you need to hide your wallet. Like, right now. Because Disney has released its newest Mickey merchandise collection, and no “it’s a small world” fan is safe. “it’s a small world” in Disneyland Lately, Disney has been really into monthly merchandise collections, where certain souvenirs get new makeovers each month throughout the year. Last year, we followed the “Stitch Crashes Disney” collections, and in 2020 the theme was Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction. This year, Disney is recycling that Main Attraction idea (which is all about classic Disney rides), but this time they’re featuring Mickey instead. We’ve already seen collections for Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction themed to Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Mad Tea Party. Now, some items from the next collection are officially OUT! With the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection, a new merchandise series is released each month (theoretically) featuring Mickey items themed to various Disney rides. These series aren’t always precisely on time, and we’ve only seen 3 so far although we’re already in June. Mad Tea Party collection in Disney’s Animal Kingdom But we’re excited to say that we’ve finally spotted some items from the newest Main Attraction series in the parks! You can find the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection for “it’s a small world” NOW in Disneyland! This is the fourth series in the collection. We saw a sneak peek of this collection earlier this year, but now a few of the items are officially available for purchase. Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction The Five & Dime gift shop in Disney California Adventure is where you’ll find the newest Main Attraction merchandise. While we were there, we spotted the “it’s a small world” Mickey ears, plush, and pin. Five and Dime The Mickey ears feature a teal headband with “it’s a small world” written on the side in colorful letters. The ears themselves are purple on one side and pink on the back, with embroidered numbers all over the front, just like you’ll find on the facade of the classic ride. There’s a decal of the attraction’s facade in the center, which pays tribute to the colorful shapes and structures found in “it’s a small world.” New “it’s a small world” Mickey ears On the back, you’ll find the 50th Anniversary logo for Disney World (which makes it just a little bit odd that these ears arrived in Disneyland before Disney World). You can get the ears for $34.99. Here’s the back! Also available at Five & Dime was the “it’s a small world” Mickey pin. The pin shows Mickey in purple, pink, and teal, with numbers on his ears as well! And does his pocket watch look familiar to you? It’s the clock face from “it’s a small world”! This pin is $29.99. “it’s a small world” pin The final item we found in Disneyland today is the “it’s a small world” Mickey plush. The plush looks just like the pin, with a purple, pink, and teal color scheme. Mickey also has a floral lapel pin and clock face pocket watch, and you can find the logo for the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection on his foot. “it’s a small world” plush The plush is available for $34.99. So far, the ears, pin, and plush are the only items we’ve spotted, but we’ll be looking out for the Loungefly mini-backpack and collectible key as well, which will be released as part of the “it’s a small world” series. ©Disney Disney hasn’t announced yet when the collection will be released online or in Disney World (although we know it was already released on shopDisney UK).

After Disney World’s historic closure and reopening two years ago, we’re still waiting on some things to return to normal at the parks. Minnie Vans! There are still some shows that haven’t returned (yes, we’re looking at you Fantasmic!). We’re still waiting on certain restaurants to open! We’re also still waiting on the return of Minnie Vans, although Disney recently said they would return this summer. But now, we know exactly WHEN Minnie vans will be back at Disney World! Minnie Vans will be back at Disney World on June 29th, 2022! If you don’t know what Minnie Vans are, here’s a quick explainer: they’re Lyft-operated rideshare vehicles designed to look like Minnie Mouse. They provide direct and private transportation around Disney World property, as well as to and from Disney World and Orlando International Airport and between Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line Terminal in Port Canaveral. Minnie Vans ©Disney Previously (before the closures), Minnie Vans cost $15 plus a per-mile fee starting at $2.75 per mile. Trips to and from Orlando Airport were $155 one-way and trips to and from Port Canaveral were $249 one-way. We’re still waiting on updated pricing from Disney, so we’ll let you know as soon as it’s announced. But, Disney did mentioned that pricing will vary by route. Rides around Disney property are booked directly through the Lyft app. For Orlando Airport trips, you can call 407-WDW-PLAY. And, for trips to the Disney Cruise Line Terminal, you’ll need to book directly with Embarkation Services. Minnie Van Toy Guests can also use the Lyft app to request an Accessible Minnie Van if needed, and each Minnie Van comes with two complimentary car seats for your kiddos. So, that’s another service that will be returning to Disney World soon! We’ll let you know about other returning services as soon as we have more information, so stay tuned to DFB.
