Welcome back to Magic Kingdom. Simply magical We don’t know about you, but we get a little teary-eyed every time we see Cinderella Castle (and it’s even more magical with its 50th anniversary makeover). Walking down Main Street, U.S.A. listening to the Dapper Dans — AWWW! It’s the best feeling in the world. We’ve been there recently, just taking in all that magic and nostalgia, but also seeing what kind of updates we could discover. So here’s what’s new in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom Food Updates Storybook Treats The ongoing Dwarf Cone saga continues — we never know which one will be available on which day. When we last checked, the Doc Cone was back because they’re out of the candy they used for Sneezy’s face. Only Doc Cone available It seems like supply issues are still affecting things in Disney World. Read Our Full Review of the Doc Cone Cheshire Cafe There’s a new tea to sip on in Magic Kingdom: the Hare March Foolish Tea for $5.99. It’s a Hibiscus Tea with whipped cream, topped with a Hare March Chocolate Coin. So the first taste reminded us of childhood — and not in a good way. We thought it tasted like cough syrup. It’s cute, though Needless to say, this isn’t one of our favorite drinks. Read Our Full Review Here Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Emporium If you’ve been keeping up with all those awesome ride ornaments that have been coming out, we found FOUR ride Ornaments shaped like Mickey ears! There’s an Alice in Wonderland Ornament (from the ride in Disneyland!)… It looks like the ride vehicle! …a Pirates of the Caribbean Ornament… Arg! …a Peter Pan’s Flight Ornament… Peter and Tink! …and a Jungle Cruise Ornament! These are $24.99 each. Jungle Cruise! We also discovered a new GOLD 50th Anniversary Starbucks Water Bottle for $29.99. New merch alert! There’s a new canvas Mickey Backpack in town! It’s Mickey! The backpack is $49.99. Here’s How You Get FREE Water Has CHANGED at Starbucks in Magic Kingdom Crystal Arts Someday, we’re going to win the lottery, and we’re pretty sure this Crystal Cinderella Castle will be one of the first things we buy. It’s just so GORGEOUS. Who hasn’t dreamed of owning this? It’s also $250,000 — so we’re just going to have to admire this baby from afar. Here’s The 50th Anniversary Disney Merchandise You HAVEN’T Seen Yet Are you headed to Disney World anytime soon? Sure it’s tempting to buy EVERYTHING you see (trust us, we know how hard it is to resist that temptation), but be sure to really consider those purchases before you plunk down your cold hard cash for them. Need help deciding? We’ve got several Disney World souvenirs we never regret buying! It’s also tempting to try out ALL the 50th anniversary food in Magic Kingdom right now, but 1) no one has a stomach big enough for all that food and 2) that would be extremely expensive. So which 50th anniversary snacks are worth it? Be sure to read our reviews to find out! Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!

So many things have been happening in the theme park world lately! Universal Studios Hollywood At Disney World, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind just opened and we’ve seen some BIG progress on TRON. We’ve also been keeping an eye on the construction over at Universal’s Epic Universe theme park, which will be opening up in a few years. But, another Universal resort is getting something new and exciting WAY sooner — and we just found out WHEN it’s happening! Super Nintendo World is coming to Universal Studios Hollywood in early 2023! It was previously announced that the land would be opening sometime in 2023, but now we know we won’t have to wait too long once the year begins. Super Nintendo World will feature a new ride called Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge where you get to battle Team Bowser on iconic Mario Kart courses! You will join Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach to collect coins and throw shells to win the Golden Cup. This is the world’s first interactive Mario Kart ride! You can take a closer look at the ride in the video below: Is that some sort of MagicBand device we just saw in that video?! Hmmm…something to keep an eye on! ©Universal Super Nintendo theming will also be coming to Universal’s Epic Universe park at Universal Orlando in a few years! The park is in the early stages of being built right now and will include theming from Illumination and DreamWorks properties as well. Right now, the park is predicted to open sometime in 2025 after being delayed. ©Universal | Epic Universe Concept Art Stay tuned to DFB for more theme park news and updates!

It’s officially June, and all throughout Disney World, that means new Pride Month treats! Joffrey’s Rainbow Donut Not only that, but Disney has also released a line of Pride-themed merchandise and we’ve even seen some Pride Month photo ops pop up here and there. Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we’re kicking off Pride Month by trying some of the new, limited-time snacks offered throughout the park. Let’s check them out! All around Disney World this June, you’ll find exclusive Pride Month eats, drinks, and even merchandise. We’re celebrating by trying some of the new eats at Hollywood Studios — starting with the Pride Cupcake from Backlot Express. Pride Cupcake from Backlot Express This vanilla cupcake is filled with rainbow sprinkles and berry marmalade, then topped with red berry buttercream and garnished with rainbow sprinkles, glitter, and Mickey Pride Ears. It’s quite the bright cupcake, and is incredibly Instagram-worthy! But fair warning, the red icing will get everywhere and might even stain your hands and teeth. The vanilla cake tasted pretty standard, but the berry marmalade filling in the center was INCREDIBLE. It really made the cupcake. The berry marmalade was so GOOD. The white chocolate ears didn’t add much in terms of flavor but they are pretty darn cute. For $5.99, this cupcake is a bit on the pricey side for basically being a vanilla cake with some jam. With that being said, we would absolutely get it again — the marmalade was THAT good. Look at those ears! Next up was the Pride Cheesecake Dome from Rosie’s All-American Cafe — a whipped berry, white chocolate cheesecake with rainbow sparkle, graham cracker cookie crust, glazed with red white chocolate shimmer and topped with Mickey Pride Ears. Pride Cheesecake Dome We are OBSESSED with this dessert. The whipped berry and white chocolate cheesecake gives the whole thing a berries and cream vibe, and the graham cracker adds that buttery crunch that all good cheesecakes have. It was both extremely sweet and extremely tart. Berry delicious. It’s pretty large, so at $5.99 would make a pretty good deal if you want to share it, or save some for later. The berry flavor is pretty prominent, so we wouldn’t recommend for anyone who doesn’t like fruity desserts. The white chocolate ears are a nice touch, but much like the cupcake they didn’t add much to the dessert overall. It still tasted delicious even if it did get a little bit wet. Unfortunately, we got caught in the rain when we were tasting this treat and it got a little bit melty — such is life when you never know what the weather will be like in Disney World! Luckily, we’ve got plenty of tips on how to survive a rainy day in the parks. Click Here to Check Out Our Best Rainy Day Park Bag Items Over in Toy Story Land, we stopped by Woody’s Lunch Box to try the new Pride Lunch Box Tart. It’s a guava-filled pastry coated in purple vanilla fondant, topped with rainbow sprinkles, sour ribbon candy, and a blue chocolate Mickey! Visually, this lunch box tart is so appealing — but how does it taste? Pride Lunch Box Tart Okay, we were seriously blown away by this one. It may even be our new favorite Lunch Box Tart flavor! The pastry was flaky and crumbly as always, but as soon as the guava filling hit our taste buds we were hooked. It was light and sweet, not too sugary like a lot of Disney treats. The guava filling was top notch. Once we took a bit with the sour ribbon candy, though, the whole thing came together and it was like a sweet and sour symphony. Lunch Box Tarts are a great value at $4.29, and this one was no different. The sour ribbon candy was SO GOOD. If you’re after a rich, chocolatey dessert — this isn’t the one for you. Kids may not love the sour ribbon or the tropical guava flavor, but if you’re looking for something different give this a try! Pride Lunch Box Tart If you’re not heading to Hollywood Studios anytime soon, you can also find Pride Month treats in Disney Springs like the ones at Gideon’s Bakehouse and Amorette’s Patisserie.

If you don’t go to Disney Springs this weekend, you might regret it…big time! Everglazed! Why? Well this weekend Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is celebrating a big holiday, and will be offering some special treats and merchandise. We recently got a preview of it all, so allow us to take you into the realm of giant, colorful donuts and share everything you need to know! This Friday (June 3rd) is National Donut Day! Yes, there truly is a National Donut Day! And starting tomorrow, Everglazed is (of course) doing lots to celebrate — but they’ll be extending the celebrations to Donut Week! Donut Week! First up, there will be stickers! The stickers are based off of those “I Voted” stickers you’re likely familiar with from United States elections. The stickers say “I Support National Donut Day Week!” The Sticker They’ll be handing out these stickers over the week so you can wear them proudly and proclaim to the world that YOU are the universe’s biggest donut fan! Be sure to look for these during your trip. The Sticker Next, we’ve got MERCH! Everglazed offers a limited number of merchandise items, but they’re looking to expand that. As part of the celebrations, the first Everglazed dry fit shirts will become available. Anyone who orders half a dozen donuts this weekend will actually get a shirt for FREE. So order up folks! The t-shirts are actually one-of-a-kind so you’ll have quite the unique souvenir. Grab Your Donuts! There will also be coozies available this weekend. You can snag one of these by ordering a beverage this weekend (anyone who orders a beverage this weekend will get the coozie for FREE). The Coozie The back of the coozie says “Coffee Makes Me Happy” and those who have had to spend LONG days in Disney World can probably relate to that! Coffeeeeeee Supplies of the shirt and coozie are limited and could run out. Everglazed expects that they’ll run out of these over the weekend, so be sure to get there and order your donuts and drinks FAST! Everglazed is hoping to expand their merchandise offerings, so these may be available to purchase in the future, but for now they’ll just be part of the Donut Day festivities. Overall, it’s another simple but solid pick. Yummy! And that’s a look at Everglazed’s Donut Day/Week celebrations. Be sure to stop by Disney Springs this week to participate in all of the fun. You’ll probably want to go this weekend if you’re hoping to grab that shirt or coozie before they run out! If you’re looking for our other reviews of the donuts at Everglazed (and their coffee too), click here. We’ve got all kinds of reviews for you to check out! What Would You Get?

The train that will eventually take guests from Orlando International Airport to Disney World just took a HUGE step forward. Would You Take a Train to Disney World? ©Brightline For months, we’ve been covering everything related to this train — from its potential cost to considerations about how Disney World will get guests to their hotels once the train is operational. Most recently, after many discussions, a potential route had been proposed for the train to take from the airport to Disney World (a topic that had been heavily debated) and now plans for the train has taken another HUGE step forward. What’s Been Happening? As we mentioned above, just what route the train would take between the airport and Disney World (Disney Springs, specifically) had been hotly contested. Brightline preferred one route (near State Road 417), but other companies and groups had fought against that, pushing for a route along I-Drive. Potential Routes ©Brightline | Obtained via the Orlando Sentinel The most recent solution proposed was for the creation of something called The Sunshine Corridor Program. Under this program, Brightline would lease a corridor of tracks from the SunRail commuter train system (which is already in existence), and the 2 trains would share the pathway. The train go from the airport through the Orange County Convention center and down South International Drive to Disney World. Brightline would then build its own tracks from Disney World to Tampa. ©Brightline What made this idea possible was the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (which was passed in 2021). This Act opened up the potential to get federal funding for the project. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said that the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021 changed things and allowed people to “see a funding scenario that supported the route to I-Drive and the convention center.” Brightline Trains Last we heard, a decision had to be made by summertime so that applications for funding could be made. We also shared that part of the route could be funded by Universal, thanks to a pledge made to donate a certain amount of acres and money for a train station at the Orange County Convention Center area that would be used by SunRail and Brightline. So what’s happening now? A Big Update for Funding! According to the Orlando Business Journal, there’s been a big update when it comes to funding for the airport train. The Orlando Business Journal reports that a number of U.S. Representatives announced on June 1st that Central Florida would be “awarded up to $15.88 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Grant Program.” Those federal funds will help make the Sunshine Corridor project a reality. The federal grant funds will be used on “preliminary engineering activities and environmental approvals tied to connecting the route from Orlando International Airport and Tampa.” ©Brightline Train According to the Orlando Sentinel, that grant will help them form a “concrete plan for Orlando-to-Tampa rail. That plan will be the basis for seeking grants for hundreds of millions of dollars in additional federal money.” Where will the rest of the initial money for the project come from? Brightline will reportedly contribute $15.88 million to match the grant — making the total investment $31.75 million. ©Brightline Brightline’s CEO has noted that “The Sunshine Corridor is a comprehensive, ambitious transportation solution for Central Florida. It represents the missing link in Brightline’s plan to connect Orlando and Tampa with modern, eco-friendly, intercity passenger rail.” The Orlando route is expected to run “along Taft-Vineland Road and State Road 528 to Interstate 4 and Disney, with a stop on Destination Parkway.” As we noted above, Universal Orlando Resort has said that it will donate some of the land for the station and will help with funding as well. The I-Drive station and tracks are expected to cost over $1 billion (but a cost study that is fully in-depth has yet to be done). ©Brightline Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said, “The federal government providing the grant is a good indicator that they like our project...The grant will help us determine the details to submit applications for grants later this year, including routes, stops, costs, ridership, environment and economic impacts.” (Orlando Sentinel) In the meantime, Brightline is making progress on its train route that’ll ultimately connect Miami to Orlando. The expansion from West Palm Beach to Orlando is about 80% complete and service is expected to begin in 2023. ©Brightline We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more details on just how this project progresses. Keep in mind that as of updates from March of 2021, it was noted that the airport train’s service to Disney Springs may not begin until 2026. So it could be quite a while before we see this train anywhere near Disney World. According to some reports, Brightline has indicated that it could have up to 12 stations on the path between Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. ©Brightline To learn more about where the airport train’s Disney Springs station could be located, click here. And to see just how you might get yourself (and your luggage) from Disney Springs to your hotel once the train is active, click here. In the meantime, while we wait for the airport train to be built, you can take a look at some of the other options you can use to get from the airport to Disney World (including some newer Magical Express replacement services).

It’s getting into the summer months of 2022, which means a LOT of people are gearing up for their Disney World vacations! If you’re among the crowds who will be flocking to the parks this summer, we’re here to help you out with all kinds of packing hacks, planning tips, and updates on the latest news. Where magic becomes real Before you go, be sure you know what’s NOT going to be open in the theme parks. That way, you can avoid the disappointment of looking forward to an attraction or perk and then realizing once you arrive that it’s not available. To help you out, we’ve got a full list of closures you’ll see in Disney World this June in the parks and hotels! Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom has a few closures right now that will continue throughout June. Only one of these attractions has a specific reopening date, though! Walt Disney World Railroad The Walt Disney World railroad has been closed for over 3 years, and it doesn’t have a reopening date yet. This attraction was closed for some refurbishments and to make way for construction on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster, coming to Tomorrowland.

Luckily, we’ve spotted a tunnel in the area that seems to be meant for the Railroad, which is a good sign that the train could reopen soon!

EPCOT Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360 Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360 is still available for now, but it will be closing at the end of June.
