Halloween, the Fourth of July, Mother’s Day, New Year’s Eve — you know about the typical holidays Disney World celebrates. But there’s ANOTHER holiday they celebrate that you may have never heard of. There’s a Special Holiday You Need to Know About! Anyone ever heard of World Whiskey Day?! It’s a THING. World Whiskey Day falls on Saturday, May 21st, 2022, and if you’re a fan of whiskey, this is a holiday you can’t miss. Looking to celebrate this special occasion with a drink, a dessert, and more? There’s one spot in Disney World you might want to visit! Recently, we were able to attend a media event at Raglan Road: Irish Restaurant & Pub in Disney Springs to get a SNEAK PEEK at a specialty drink, whiskey flight, and dessert all coming for World Whiskey Day (plus some new items that might hit the menu soon!). Raglan Road If you’re unfamiliar with it, Raglan Road is located in Disney Springs and is an authentic Irish pub, full of Irish dishes, beer, live Irish music, and even some awesome dancing! Inside Raglan Road Whiskey Day celebrations at Raglan Road aren’t anything new. We actually got to check out their World Whiskey Day celebrations for last year as well. But just will this year’s festivities bring? We just had to find out! Beer Cart As we mentioned, Saturday, May 21st is World Whiskey Day! In honor of that holiday, Raglan Road will be offering a special dessert, whiskey flight, and specialty drink (The Raglan Buck). The Whiskey Flight is basically a “World Tour of Ireland.” Whiskey Flight Time! Based on our understanding, this flight (at this price) will be available ONLY on World Whiskey Day for $30 (it would normally be $45 if you purchased each of these separately, so you’re actually getting a pretty good deal here!). Whiskey Flight Details The Whiskey Flight features 4 different whiskeys, each from a different province of Ireland! It’s like drinking around the world, except drinking around Ireland, and you don’t have to be out in the heat! The Whiskeys Included The 4 whiskeys included are as follows: Limavady Single Malt from Limavady (Northwest of Belfast) Lost Irish from Termonfeckin (County Louth) Drumshanbo Single Pot Still from Drumshanbo (County Leitrim) Clonakilty Single Grain Bordeaux Cask Finish from County Cork to South of the Isle Whiskey Flight You can learn a bit more about each of these by checking out the information from the little card in the image below! More Info The Limavady Single Malt is made with 100% Irish barley, aged in Bourbon barrels, and finished in Sherry casks. The Sherry casks are supposed to give it a warm, inviting dried fruit and spice aroma, and add a richness to the vanilla base. This had lots of flavor and we could really taste the spice and toasted vanilla on this one. Overall, it had a very warm feel and the flavors melted together, yet were also very individually present. We think this is a great whiskey for sitting, sipping, and socializing! Drink #1 The Lost Irish is aged in casks from 6(!!) different continents, and is made in the three styles of Irish Whiskey. The grain is meant to add a lightness to the blend, giving it a sweeter taste and somewhat floral aroma. The malt is supposed to add a rich balance, and then the classic pot style is meant to have a “full creamy mouthfeel.” To us, this was the smoothest and lightest of the four whiskeys, and could be DANGEROUS when mixed in with drinks (like the Raglan Buck — more on that in a second) because of how subtle it can be. We think this is one that could be perfect for drinking neat. Lost Irish Next is the Drumshanbo. This is distilled with Malted Irish Barley, un-malted Irish barley, and Irish Barra oats. This is supposed to have a mix of a silky mouthfeel, creaminess, and spiciness. This had a very clean flavor to it and was easy to drink. It was flavorful, but still had a toned-down sense to it. Overall, we think it’s a good whiskey either on its own or in a mixed drink. Drumshanbo And finally we have the Clonakilty which is an 8-year-old single grain that has been finished in Bordeaux casks! This whiskey is meant to have toasted oak and sweet red berries on the nose with strawberries, honey, and vanilla on the palate, all finished up with some wood spice and cracked black pepper. This whiskey was very full bodied and complex. It really takes you on a flavor tour! Each flavor here sort-of comes out one at a time, letting you soak them all in! It is on the stronger end, so be aware of that, but we still think it’s a great one to grab and sip on as you’re sitting down, having a good talk with friends. The Final One Would you give this a try? Fun fact: Lost Irish Whiskey was created by Tim Herlihy and will be on sale at Total Wine & More next month. Keep an eye out for that if you want to bring a little taste of Raglan Road home! Overall, if you like a slightly fruity and sweet, but still ever so slightly bitter drink, this one is daaaaangerous! You can’t really taste the whiskey in it. The whiskey is really subtle, and the strawberry paired with the lemon and ginger give the drink a nice level of sweetness (but not too sweet!). Dangerous!! It really mixes well so that the whiskey can still play its part on your palette, while getting those sweet vibes. Not to mention this drink is STUNNING visually. Our advice: take a nice deep breath of the drink before you sip. The lemon comes across at the top and then the scent of the flavors from the liquid sink in and make your taste buds want to jump in! Hello Beautiful! Another thing that will be available this weekend is The Gobsmacked. This is a triple Irish coffee dessert! And well, we just gotta say it — the name is PERFECT for this dish. Not only do you sit still after your first bite — gobsmacked by how good it is — but there’s also a blast of Irish coffee flavor that leaves you equally as gobsmacked. YUM Each layer is warm and rich in coffee flavor. Plus there’s a perfect consistency throughout, and the bottom layer is wonderfully soft from having soaked up coffee creamy goodness. The chocolate shamrock on the top is visually a simple, clean, and elegant look, and (flavor wise) is actually nice to eat with the treat! Delicious While we were at the media event, we also got to preview some dishes that may be added to the Raglan Road menu in June! Keep in mind that things can change, but we were excited to get a peek behind the curtain at some things in development that could be available in the future. Our Menu First we got to try The Buckled. This is a bacon and cabbage pastry roll, served with celery root puree. First, can we give some MAJOR PROPS to these beautifully designed dishes. Seriously, anyone else got those plain, standard, (possibly chipped) white dishes at home? These put those to SHAME. BRB. We gotta go buy some pretty dishes to capture this spirit and bring it home. Okay, back to our regularly scheduled content! The Buckled This was delicious and probably our favorite of the dishes we got to sample (though it’s a tough battle there because — spoiler alert — they were all pretty good!). The pastry was fried very crisp, but not overly so. And there was SO much filling! The bacon and cabbage balanced each other well, with neither overpowering the other. This isn’t the type of thing that would necessarily leave you super full, but the flavors were spot-on. Plus the purée was an absolutely perfect addition to the roll. It was savory and gave you something to dip the roll in. We wish there was a just a small spoonful more of the puree there to dip our roll in, because it was so tasty (we really could have eaten a spoonful all by itself!). So Tasty! The next dish we got to try was The Class. This is a dish made with braised short rib, roasted broccolini, buttered mash potato, and red wine jus. Again with the DISHES! So pretty! And the beauty continues with the food itself. Time to Dig In! This short rib was so tender it fell apart with a fork, and it was delicious too! We will say it was a tiny bit on the dry side, but the red wine jus really helped in that department. The wine flavor was very prominent in this jus, but worked well when paired with the heaviness of the short rib. We felt like, overall, it gave the short rib a more refined taste. Gorgeous and Delicious The broccolini was cooked well and seasoned lightly, so the vegetable stayed fresh and crisp but was not bland. The buttered mash potato was absolutely fantastic — creamy and not heavy, just as it should be! Our tip: grab a bit of the mash with the meat and sauce all together to really mix those flavors. Short Rib Next we got to sample The Deadly, which is made with smoked salmon, dill pickled cucumber, caper creme fresh, on a Guinness and treacle Irish soda bread. If you love smoked salmon, you’ll have a hard time resisting this one. The salmon had a nice smoky flavor that wasn’t too strong. But, at least to us, the crème fresh was actually the highlight of this bite! It was full of herbs and very flavorful. Are You a Salmon Fan? We recommend grabbing a bit of that creme fresh with each bite so you can make it last. The cucumber gives it a very bright, tart flavor that contrasts, but still harmonizes with, the smoky fish. And the soda bread was very good. It was a rich brown color and firm enough so as to not lose our toppings. The dill was a little bit like the cherry on top of the dish — it’s not that it didn’t add to the flavor necessarily, but it wasn’t something we’d necessarily be searching for if it wasn’t there. Salmon Dish We also got to taste The Bang On! This is made with bang bang chicken and spiced shredded salad. This dish had very tender pieces of chicken. The breading sort-of fell off easily, but the flavor was still really good. Our Dish The spiced shredded salad brings a lot of color, which is a nice touch, and it added another level to the dish. Without that salad, it might just feel like a few pieces of chicken that are delicious, but not the most memorable food option at Raglan Road. What Do You Think? We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for updates to the Raglan Road menu and let you know if any of these make a grand appearance soon. Raglan Road Table In the meantime, if you’re looking to get a taste of Irish whiskey, a sweet treat, and a specialty cocktail, all in celebration of World Whiskey Day, head over to Raglan Road this weekend! Just remember that the Whiskey Flight will ONLY be available on the 21st! Stay tuned for more Disney news and reviews! Click here to see our latest full review of some of the dishes at Raglan Road!

This year we’ve already seen major updates on restrictions being lifted that were put in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Masks are no longer required on Disney public transportation Disney Cruise Line just updated their testing requirements and announced Alaska cruises are returning, and just about a month ago, we saw the mandate of masks on public Disney transportation lifted, but that may not be permanent. Now we have more numbers showing that another thing is making a major comeback — travel. Orlando International Airport (MCO) has just reported a 65% increase in traffic compared to last year’s first quarter. During the first 3 months of 2o22, the airport welcomed 11.6 million guests, with the largest amount of rebound traffic coming from international travelers — a 421% increase. Orlando International Airport The surge in international travel is thought to partly be because of the reopening of some international borders, allowing MCO to regain 148 of the 15o service destinations they offered prior to COVID. In March alone, international travelers jumped 482.53%, with domestic travelers jumping 35.5%. Are you flying into Orlando this year?

Seasoned Fries While we miss the other dipping sauces served with it, during a most recent visit we at least got Curried Honey Mustard and Korean Chili Ketchup. Seasoned fries with tasty sauces — what’s not to love?! 13 — Grilled Corn on the Cob — Harambe Fruit Market At Harambe Fruit Market, you can pick up a snack that is seriously underrated — Grilled Corn on the Cob with or without African spices. Corn The corn will only cost you $5.29 and it is PACKED with flavor (when you get it with those African spices). Plus it’s corn which is healthy, right? (Means you can load up on Mickey-shaped ice cream bars later!) 14 — Churros — Nomad Lounge We’ve talked about Nomad Lounge ad nauseam, but it bears another mention on this list because of its DELICIOUS churros! These churros are only $9 and are served with Vanilla Crema and a Chili-Strawberry sauce. You might be thinking, “aren’t these just like any other park churro?” The answer to that is NO. Churros! Warm and crumbly, fall-apart-in-your-mouth goodness, and fantastic dipping sauces — it’s truly an elevated churro experience! Check out our full churro review here! 15 — Cheeseburger Pods — Satu’li Canteen And finally, we couldn’t make this under $10 list without mentioning the Cheeseburger Steamed Pods in Pandora! While the adult menu version is over $10, you can order this entree from the kid’s menu for just $8.29. Cheeseburger Pod Kid’s Meal from Satu’li Canteen in Animal Kingdom The bao bun is stuffed with Ground Beef, Ketchup, Mustard, Pickle, and Cheddar, and served with Vegetable Chips and a Cuties® Mandarin with Small DASANI® Bottled Water or Lowfat Milk! It’s all the delicious flavors of a cheeseburger rolled into a perfectly soft bao bun and it is an item well worth going out of your way to try! Click here for our full cheeseburger pod review! Disney World Hotels 16 — Pulled Pork Nachos — Capt. Cook’s Not going to the parks? No problem! Disney’s hotels have some FANTASTIC snacks. We already mentioned the mac & cheese from Gasparilla Island Grill, but we also had to talk about the Pulled Pork Nachos from Capt. Cook’s! Pulled Pork Nachos These nachos are $9.99 and are topped with Cheese, Spicy Mayonnaise, Pico de Gallo, and Pineapple Salsa (aside from the pulled pork, of course). The crisp and salty chips, the smoked pork, the sweet pineapple salsa, and the creamy spice from the mayo will send you straight to flavor heaven! Click here to see our full list of the 31 BEST snacks you’ll only find at Disney World’s hotels! Disney Springs 17 — Gideon’s Cookie — Gideon’s Bakehouse Finally, we make our way over to Disney Springs and YES, multiple members from our team fully admitted that they would take a $6 cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse OVER a $50 Disney World meal, and we can’t really blame them. Gideon’s Bakehouse These things are GIANT, will fill you up, and feature some really unique and seasonal flavors. With their changing menu offerings, there will be lots of delicious reasons to go back again and again! Click here for our page FULL of reviews of items at Gideon’s Bakehouse 18 — Ice Cream — Salt & Straw Yeah, we said it, sometimes a scoop of ice cream from the newly opened Salt & Straw is in fact BETTER than a $50 meal! The flavors at Salt & Straw are incredibly unique and (like Gideon’s) constantly changing. Where else will you find turkey-flavored ice cream(!!) or ice cream that tastes like parker house rolls?! This is not your regular cookies and cream situation. Arbequina Olive Oil, Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip, Bottomless Limes, and The Adventurous Llamanaut flavors Stop by to grab a single scoop for $6.95 or a double scoop for $9.50.’ Check out our full review of Salt & Straw here, and see why it’ll CHANGE the way you think about ice cream! 19 — Donuts — Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew Over at Everglazed Donuts, oversized donuts with a ridiculous amount of toppings is the name of the game. Flavors can vary, but if you’ve got a sweet tooth and love donuts, this is a must-visit spot. An entire s’more on a donut? YES! Generally, the classic donuts are $4.75 while the more unique donuts (part of the Funky Bunch) are $5.75. Click here to see our FULL review of Everglazed!

Disney World has a TON of food options for everyone, from meat lovers to plant-based eaters. Teriyaki Tofu Bowl Over the past few years, we’ve seen a lot more options be added for plant-based eaters in the parks and resorts, like full booths at EPCOT festivals, special Ronto Wraps, and even a “lobster” roll! There is usually always some type of plant-based or vegetarian offering at table service restaurants too, but one popular spot is taking it a step further with a whole bunch of NEW plant-based items coming soon! Starting May 26th, California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be offering a number of new plant-based items on their menu! Starting with appetizers, The Florida Peach and Raspberry Salad will feature grilled and fresh peaches, raspberry variations, steel-cut oat granola tart, red onion, and a whipped raspberry vinaigrette. ©Disney You can also get appetizers like the house-made Vegetable Dumplings, made with a Doenjang miso-cola onion sauce, radish, crispy garlic-chili oil, and pickled lotus root. This dish embrace inspirations from both Asian culture and Californian cuisine. ©Disney As for entrées, check out the new House-made Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, which is a fresh take on spring flavors with sunflower, allium, crispy sunchokes, charred green onions, toasted onions, and a sunflower seed-ramp pistou along with house-made bucatini topped with a luxurious cashew cream sauce. ©Disney The other new plant-based entrée is the Peas and Carrots Risotto with heirloom carrots, English peas, green garlic, confit onion, and sweet carrot foam. Chef Matthew Birch crafted the dish to look like everything is sprouting up from the ground! ©Disney There are also some new plant-based desserts on the menu! Try out the Peanut and Banana Torte, which is a twist on the classic PB&J. It combines shortbread, peanut ganache, miso-caramel, nut crumbles, and caramelized bananas. YUM! ©Disney Another new dessert is a spin on the “Banana Fritters” that were at California Grill back in 2013. The Lavender Sugar Donuts is a special 50th Anniversary item that is now on the plant-based menu, with some updated fresh ingredients in season. It has a coconut frozen dessert, blueberry gin jam, and pistachio crumble. ©Disney But wait, there’s more! Moving on from the plant-based items, California Grill also has new seasonal dishes available. Try out things like the Florida Rock Shrimp Salad, which pays homage to former Chef de Cuisine Brian Piasecki’s signature salad at the restaurant. This new version has similar flavors with hearts of palm, petite lettuce, yuzu, avocado, jicama, and crisp rice crackers topped with a ginger vinaigrette. ©Disney You can also get the new EARidescent Crème Brûlée, which serves up a pineapple-mango compote, hibiscus meringue, hibiscus crystals, and coconut. Pastry Sous Chef Amber Vega took inspiration from California with the hibiscus and tropical flavors that lighten up the taste for spring and summer! ©Disney So, there are some exciting new eats over at California Grill for you to try out starting on May 26th!

There’s something new (and incredibly exciting) in Disney World…but it’s also SUPER confusing! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind No, we’re not talking about Disney Genie+ (although that IS confusing and we’ve done several posts explaining how all those intricacies work) — we’re talking about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! You may say, “But DFB, how is that confusing? Isn’t it just a roller coaster?” And yes, you’d be correct. But also, there’s a LOT of new lingo you’ll need to learn in order to understand what the heck is happening during your ride…and today, we’re here to help you out! When it comes to the Guardians of the Galaxy, there’s quite a bit of special language that you may not know if you didn’t watch the movie. On top of that, Disney introduced new made-up words just for the ride! But we’re explaining them all so that you’re (hopefully!) prepared to save the galaxy. The Guardians! Star-Lord — Let’s start things off easy here. Star-Lord is the alias of Peter Quill, aka Chris Pratt’s character in the movies. It’s a name he gave himself, and you’ll often hear his fellow Guardians refer to him as just “Peter” or “Quill.” Xandar — When you head to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, you’re visiting what Disney called the Wonders of Xandar Pavilion. Xandar was a planet that appeared in the Guardians of the Galaxy films (and other Marvel movies). This pavilion is a homage to their culture and lifestyle…kinda like the country pavilions in the World Showcase! Nova Corps — The Nova Corps is an intergalactic police and military force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They defend and protect the Nova Empire, the capital of which is the planet Xandar. Star Blaster — As you approach the Wonders of Xandar Pavilion, you really can’t miss that GIANT yellow ship outside! That’s a Nova Corps Star Blaster ship. They’re the ships that the Nova Corps fly in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. (And to be honest, it’s a pretty awesome replica!) Nova Corps Star Blaster “I am Groot” — You’ll probably hear this phrase a lot throughout your experience, mainly coming from the mouth of…is that a talking TREE? Why yes, it is. The tree’s name is Groot, and well, he doesn’t exactly have the biggest vocabulary in the galaxy. (But boy can he DANCE!) Drax — Speaking of characters, they all have some pretty unique names. Probably the weirdest is Drax, who’s the shirtless guy played by Dave Bautista. Other members of the crew include Gamora (the green-skinned woman played by Zoe Saldana) and Rocket…he’s the talking raccoon. Eson — Another character you may want to know is Eson, he’s essentially the bad guy of the attraction. (It’ll be pretty obvious which one he is! ) Celestial — And when you see Eson, you’ll notice that he’s not quite like the others. He’s a Celestial, which are powerful cosmic beings in the Marvel Universe. Eson the Celestial ©Disney/Marvel Galaxarium — When you’re walking through the queue of the attraction, you’ll start in the Galaxarium. According to Disney, it’s “a planetarium-like exhibition showcasing the similarities and differences between Xandar and Earth’s galaxies.” Worldmind — Inside the Galaxarium, you’ll find one of Xandar’s greatest assets, the sentient supercomputer Worldmind. According to Marvel lore, its data is comprised of the experiences, histories, and personalities of deceased members of the Nova Corps. Cosmic Generator — And speaking of the tech involved, you’ll learn about the Cosmic Generator in the pre-show. It’s the power source that allows the characters to travel through time and space. Cool! Jump Point — As the characters travel through time and space, they’ll use jump points, which are basically wormholes. Galaxarium Nova Prime — In the Guardians of the Galaxy films, Nova Prime is the leader of the Nova Empire. You’ll see her portrayed by Glenn Close, just like in the movie! Terrans — Since the Guardians are used to traveling the galaxy, they’ve got different names for things than we do. “Terrans” is what they call people who dwell on our planet, basically another word for “earthlings.” Star Jumper — Just a name for the ride vehicle, plain and simple! Turkey Leg — There are tons of fun Easter eggs in this ride, and one of them is the iconic Disney turkey leg! When in the Galaxarium, the supercomputer questions the function of the turkey leg when trying to learn more about “Terran” culture. (It’s okay, we wonder what its purpose is sometimes too!) Turkey Leg Those are all the basic terms you’ll need to know to take a spin on Cosmic Rewind! We can’t wait until the ride officially opens up to the public on May 27th — until then, stay tuned to DFB for all the updates you need to know! Click Here for a Spoiler-Free Review of Cosmic Rewind!

The film will be directed by Academy Award Nominee R.J. Cutler and Filmmaker David Furnish, who is a long-time friend of Elton John. ©Disney The film will first make its way through the film festival circuit, then through a limited theatrical release before being available to the public on Disney+. According to Disney, the documentary will capture Elton John’s final months of touring, finishing with his last North American concert in Dodger Stadium. The film will also look back at the first 5 years of his career, which skyrocketed him to becoming a global phenomenon. ©Disney (Photo by Gregg Kemp) Bob Chapek, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, said that Elton John “has been part of the Disney family since 1994 when he helped make ‘The Lion King’ an instant classic, and we could not be more excited to collaborate with him on this new documentary.” Joining the production team are Trevor Smith as a producer, and John Battsek, Jane Cha Cutler, and Elise Pearlstein as executive producers. ©Disney Stay tuned to DFB, because we’ll be bringing you all the updates we hear on this documentary!

Disney is celebrating Disney World’s 50th anniversary with a TON of new merchandise, including a new collectible series! Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction Pirates of the Caribbean Collection! The Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction series is being released gradually over this year, with 12 different collections themed to different Disney World rides. They’re the same exact rides that the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction series was themed to, but they DO have different designs! So far, we’ve seen collections themed to Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Mad Tea Party, and “it’s a small world,” And now, we have a FIRST LOOK at the next collection in the series! The next Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection will be themed after Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room! This will be the 5th release in the series. The tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room In the collection, we have a Mickey Mouse plush, a collectible key, a pin, Mickey Mouse ears, and a Loungefly backpack. As you can see, the collection is filled with a Tiki Room-inspired print and even the famous birds from the attraction. ©Disney And that little hat on the Mickey ears? Come on, that’s adorable! Hats on the ears in these collections are becoming a bit of a pattern, as the last collection (themed to Pirates of the Caribbean) also had a hat on the ears. Check THESE out! This sneak peek was released on the Instagram of shopDisney U.K., which said a launch date would be revealed later on. But, we over here in the U.S. have typically been getting these releases well after the U.K. does, so we’ll let you know whenever a release date is announced for us!

Here at DFB, we keep you updated on all things Disney, not just what happens in the parks. Spaceship Earth We just reported on what kind of ads you’ll see on Disney+, a big change coming to Disney Cruise Line, and even what former Disney employees are up to these days! And we’ve just heard that former Disney CEO, Bob Iger, has invested an undisclosed amount of money into a new delivery startup service. Gopuff is a delivery service offered in 1000 cities across the United States and Europe that offers “rapid delivery of an assortment of products including home care, medicine, pet care, office supplies, beauty and wellness items” according to Reuters. Bob Iger, the former Disney CEO, has just invested in the company and will join it as an advisor. ©Reuters In a statement, Iger said, “I believe consumer commerce will be very different in the near future and Gopuff is building the platform to power it.” Interesting! Since leaving the Walt Disney Company, Iger has also purchased a 25% stake in Funko. You can read more about that decision here.

When Disney bought 20th Century Fox (now just 20th Century Studios), they also acquired properties like The Simpsons, the X-Men franchise, and the Home Alone movies. ©Disney Another popular show Disney now owns is Bob’s Burgers — and The Bob’s Burgers Movie is about to be released in theaters! So, what’s a better way to celebrate this new movie than with burgers?! The red carpet premiere of The Bob’s Burgers Movie is tonight in Hollywood, but it will be released in theaters around the country on May 27th. To celebrate the movie’s premiere, Impossible Foods teamed up with Disney and John Roberts (the voice of Linda Belcher!) to create a plant-based version of a classic burger! ©Disney You can get the “Get This Plant Patty Started” burger at the limited edition Bob’s Burger Pop-up outside of the AMC Theater at Disney Springs in Disney World! This pop up will be happening from May 27th-29th. ©Disney But, if you can’t make it to Disney Springs during those date, don’t worry — you can make your own version at home! Check out the FULL recipe for the “Get This Plant Patty Started” burger: Ingredients: For the Sauce: 1 Cup Vegan Mayo 2 Tablespoons Sriracha 2 Tablespoons Minced Pepperoncini 2 Tablespoons Ketchup 2 Tablespoons Dill Pickle Relish For the Patties: 12 oz Package Impossible Burger Salt & Pepper 3 Slices Dairy-Free American Cheese For the Assembly: 3 Vegan Buns (e.g. Potato Rolls) 3 Leaves Butter Lettuce 6 Slices Tomato 6 Onion Slices Dill Pickle Chips Directions: Make the sauce: Alriiiight, first mince the pepperoncini and combine with mayo, ketchup, sriracha, and dill pickle relish. Cook the patties: Divide Impossible Burger into 3 equal-sized patties. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. While the patties are cooking, allow yourself a classic Linda Belcher song break. Add a slice of cheese on top and cover until the cheese has melted. Build the burger: Lightly toast the burger buns, and then add a layer of the sauce. Top with the patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, and dill pickle chips. Forecast calls for fabulous burgers Serve, share, and get this patty started! In the words of Linda, “so fricken excited!” ©Disney This burger sounds absolutely delicious, we can’t wait to check it out over at Disney Springs! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and recipes.

Disneyland has better churros than Disney World. There, we said it! We said what had to be said! Obviously, this is a matter of opinion, but it does seem like Disneyland gets sooo many different kinds of churros compared to Disney World. In the past, we’ve seen flavors like berries and cream, blueberry, hot cinnamon, lemon, and cherry chocolate, just to name a few! And now, there’s another new churro and town, so you know we had to check it out! Check out the new Cookie-dusted Churro from Cozy Cone Motel in California Adventure! It’s quite literally just a churro covered in crushed up cookies (we’re thinking it’s Oreos!) and it comes with Chocolate Chip Dipping Sauce for $6.29. Who is excited?! This baby was served super fresh and it was fried to perfection! There was a slight chocolate flavor to the churro from the cookie dust. Churro time But, when we dipped it in the sauce, it took the churro to another level! It really amped up the flavor. The sauce is the way to go The sauce tasted more like a cookies and cream treat than just chocolate, but it was still light and not dense like a lot of the other churro sauces can be. It also was filled with actual chocolate chips, which was great! Don’t neglect the sauce! This churro is a good snack or dessert if you like traditional cookies and cream flavored treats and want to switch it up from just your regular churro order. But, if you’re not a chocolate fan, or don’t like things that are pretty sweet, we’d skip this one! Would you try this? Stay tuned to DFB for more Disneyland food news and updates!

Are you nostalgic when it comes to Disneyland? Sleeping Beauty Castle! Do you attend Dapper Day in vintage outfits? Do you spend hours looking at old photos of Disneyland from the 50s and 60s? Do you wish you could ride the original Skyway? Well, if that’s the case, you’ll want to keep an eye on an upcoming Disney auction! Heritage Auctions is having an auction on some authentic pieces of Disneyland history, giving everyone who can afford it a chance to own authentic memorabilia, props, and even ride vehicles. Say what? For example, you can bid on an ACTUAL Autopia vehicle — yes, this is an actual car that has been used on the ride in 1967. If you happen to have $21,000 (the current bid amount) or more lying around, it could be yours! ©Heritage Auctions Or maybe you’d like to have an actual Ride Wait Time Sign — you could bid on a Pirates of the Caribbean Wait Time Sign that was used between 1967 and 1970. ©Heritage Auctions Of course, you’ll also get a chance to bid on a real Skyway Gondola from 1965. The ride might be gone, but it’s not forgotten (and, hey, it served as inspiration for Disney World’s Skyliner!). Imagine this sitting in your living room just for fun! ©Heritage Auctions If you’ve got the cash to spare, you can even get your very own Club 33 Sign to hang on your own exclusive room in your house. This sign dates back to 1967!!! ©Heritage Auctions When’s the next Enchanted Tiki Room Show? All Disneyland guests know to check the next show sign at the park, but you can bring that sign home circa the 80s, for the right amount of dollars. ©Heritage Auctions Okay, so many of us don’t even remember Disneyland’s Rocket Jets ride in Tomorrowland (although a rocket remains in Tomorrowland as tribute), but you can still bid on a piece of that ride — one of the actual Rocket Jets! This ride vehicle dates all the way back to 1967. ©Heritage Auctions That’s just the tip of the iceberg, too — there are tons of pieces from Disneyland’s history available through the auction. So if you’ve got the money, be sure to head on over to the official Heritage Auctions website on May 21st through 22nd to bid. (Or if you’re like us, you’ll just stare wistfully at all the ride vehicles and wish you could just decorate your living room with them.)
