Artists have been a part of the Disney story since the very beginning – from Walt Disney and his first team of animators to our Disney Imagineers and countless artists who work to create the magic every day. We know art celebrates expression, provides an opportunity to tell diverse stories and connects us all in […]View the full article

Encanto has been a HUGE hit for Disney ever since it was released late last year, breaking song records AND winning an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. ©Disney So, the obvious next question we have is…when will we see Encanto come to the Disney Parks? We’ve already seen merchandise, some themed food items, and even a few characters and parade appearances, but we want to know about ATTRACTIONS! And, a Disney executive just shared some insight! Disney Senior Executive Vice President and CFO Christine McCarthy said that she thinks we could see Encanto in the Disney Parks soon during the MoffettNathanson 9th Annual Media & Communications Summit. ©Disney She said “Something that’s not yet really in the parks but I think you will see it soon is something like Encanto. It was really just wonderful and the music, you know, that, elements of that could be incorporated into the park experience.” Encanto Photo Op at Animal Kingdom Continuing to talk about the subject, Christine McCarthy said “Some of it will be transitory, some of it will be more permanent, certainly when we put like a Marvel Avengers Campus, that’s more permanent. But, we can do things with entertainment that really are relevant.” Encanto Ears So, will we see something more permanent themed to Encanto in the parks soon? Well, nothing has been confirmed, but at least we know that one Disney executive is thinking about it! And, we know that others involved with the movie want to see something like an attraction in the parks, too. Encanto composer Lin-Manuel Miranda previously mentioned that he wants to see a ride themed to the movie! ©Disney Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.

Will it ever get old finding new Minnie ears in a Disney Park? No. No, it won’t. So many ears, so little time Recently, the Loungefly Character Ears challenged our Disney knowledge, the Beignet Ears made us hungry, and the Butterfly Minnie Ears served fairy princess Barbie realness.

If you’re heading to Disney World for a vacation, you may encounter some problems along the way! We’re here to help you! Even though it’s “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” not every moment is going to be perfect. Unexpected things happen all the time, but they can be no big deal if you know how to handle them! We’re sharing 10 problems that you may encounter and how you can solve them during your trip! There’s A Long Wait for the Skyliner It’s happened for many guests at Disney World — you arrive at the Skyliner station only to find that there’s a ridiculously long line, meaning that you won’t be getting to the parks as soon as you hoped. So what do you do? We’ve seen quite long lines for the Skyliner at peak times First of all, our best recommendation to avoid this scenario is to arrive early. And when we say early, we mean EARLY (seriously, whatever time you think you should get there, just arrive 30 minutes before that!). Especially at the main Caribbean Beach Skyliner Station, we’ve seen very long lines in the morning before EPCOT and Hollywood Studios open. The Disney Skyliner is incredibly popular these days! If you’re already at the station and you’re looking for a fix, your only real option to skip the wait is to order a rideshare like Uber or Lyft. The problem with this is that rideshares can get expensive (especially with rising fuel costs), but if you’re willing to pay extra for the potentially shorter wait it may be worth it! Here’s What to Do if the Skyliner is Closed! Your Cell Phone Dies These days, cell phones are involved in a LOT of planning at Disney World. You’ll be using the My Disney Experience app to order food, make reservations, check wait times, and so much more, not to mention using your phone to take hundreds of vacation pics! So what do you do if your phone dies? ©Disney | This app is a BIG help when planning. To solve your problem quickly, you can head to a FuelRod station in any of the parks and buy a portable charger for $30. They’re pricier than other portable chargers, but you’ll be able to swap them out for fully charged versions at FuelRod stations around the park. If you don’t want to pay that much, some of the gift shops sell other brands of portable chargers. FuelRods can be found all around the parks! If you have a phone charger cord on you, but you’re not sure where to plug in, there are several locations around the parks where you may find outlets. Across from the Tangled Restrooms in Magic Kingdom, there’s a seating area with outlets inside the “tree stumps” and you’ll also find outlets inside Star Wars: Launch Bay in Hollywood Studios. Besides that, be on the lookout for outlets inside quick service restaurants! Parents — We Packed Your Park Bag So You Don’t Have To — Click Here! There’s a Long Wait for Mobile Order If you go to place a Mobile Order and you find that there aren’t any windows available soon at your restaurant of choice, you’re not out of luck. The best way to prevent this issue is to place your orders early in the day (i.e. make your order for noon at 10AM), however, if it’s already too late to do that, there are some other options. You’ll be Mobile Ordering at many restaurants these days! First of all, you could simply snack your way through whatever meal you’re supposed to be eating. Disney World is full of delicious treats (both sweet and savory!) that you can fill up on instead of eating a full meal. You could also go ahead and place a Mobile Order for a later window and snack until then. Other than that, you may just want to look at a different restaurant and see if earlier times are available. Here’s What You Need to Know About Mobile Order! It’s Late and Your Dining Options Are Limited When Disney World first reopened, the parks were closing earlier…and so were the restaurants. While there are more dining options now for later in the day than there were, you’ll still want to plan ahead where and when you want to eat dinner. But if you make it to the end of the night and find yourself without food, we’ve got you covered! Disney Springs is a great place to spend your evening! First, try visiting somewhere else on property that’s still open. Disney Springs and EPCOT are both often open later than other places, so you may be able to visit one of the many delicious restaurants there. Also, some hotel lounges stay open later than other dining locations, so check into the options at your resort. Finally, if all else fails, you can use a food delivery service like Doordash, Grubhub, or UberEats to deliver food to your hotel! Click Here for a List of Cool Things to Have Delivered to Your Resort! You Can’t Book the Hotel You Want If you REALLY want to stay at a certain Disney Resort, you’ll want to book your trip as early as possible, as we’ve found some places are filling up much faster than usual. Popular resorts are filling up fast! If you go to book your trip and you can’t stay where you really want to, you can always book somewhere else and keep checking back to see if more availability opens in the future. Even if you have to stay somewhere else, you could try booking a dining reservation to your desired hotel during your trip so that you’ll still get to check it out! The Best Disney World Hotels for Large Groups — Click Here! You Can’t Get the Park Passes You Want Similar to resort bookings, you’ll want to take care of your Disney Park Pass Reservations as far in advance as possible. A reservation is required to visit a Disney World theme park and they can fill up quickly, especially for holiday weekends, breaks, and smaller parks with lower capacities like Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom. If you can’t get into the park you want right now, your best course of action is to keep checking back leading up to your visit. Runaway Railway Then, if one still doesn’t pop up, purchase a Park Hopper ticket. With a Park Hopper, make your reservation for whatever park you can get, and then try hopping to the park you want to visit after 2PM. You’re not guaranteed to get into the second park, but you can check availability by calling the Park Hopping hotline before you leave the first one. And also, make sure to join the DFB newsletter, because we share every time Park Pass availability is added! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

You’ll definitely want to check the weather forecast ahead of your trip, but also pack for whatever strange weather patterns may just pop up out of nowhere. (ALWAYS bring raingear!). Be prepared for the RAIN in Disney World! If you find yourself in the middle of a rainstorm at the parks, try sticking it out. You can purchase ponchos in Disney gift shops (although they won’t be cheap). If you’re unprepared and don’t want to purchase raingear, then head to some indoor attractions or time your meals with the bad weather. Florida rainstorms often disappear as quickly as they came, so you shouldn’t have to wait around too long. It does rain nearly every day in the summer though, so keep that in mind! Click Here to Check Out Our Review of a Disney Rain Poncho! You Forgot to Pack Something Important Before you head to Disney World, we suggest taking a look at our packing recommendations to make sure you have everything you need. Make a list, and double-check your suitcase and other bags before you leave. Head to the gift shop at your resort for the basics! But, if you find yourself missing something once you get to Disney World, you can have groceries and other necessities delivered to your hotel through a grocery delivery service. Also, Disney Resorts have gift shops with sundries, although you’ll likely find yourself paying a higher price for the items than you would if purchased off-property. Things You’ll Need to Pack for Disney World Now! — Click Here You Can’t Get the Dining Reservations You Want Lastly, let’s talk about dining. You’re going to want to make dining reservations 60 days out from your visit (for up to 10 days of your vacation if you’re an on-site guest) so that you can score the most popular restaurants. However, if you book a last-minute trip or miss the booking window, there are some things you can do. Be Our Guest Restaurant is a hard-to-get reservation! You can try checking out the Walk-Up Waitlist to see if any restaurants have day-of availability. You may also be able to make last-minute dining reservations in the week leading up to your visit — especially if you’re flexible on dining time. Many people cancel a day ahead of time (there’s a fee if you cancel within 24 hours), so check the night before and you may have good luck! 3 Huge Tips for Snagging Hard-to-Get Reservations! — Click Here Those are some problems that you may have to deal with on your trip and what to do when you encounter them!

We love to snack around Disney World and Disneyland — it’s kind of our thing. Disney California Adventure But, while we do have a DEEP love and appreciation for the Cheeseburger Pods from Satu’li Canteen in Animal Kingdom or even the offerings from the Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom, and, of course, Dole Whip, we especially love being able to try the new (and often adventurous) treats over at Disneyland Resort. And, if you’re looking for a new summertime dessert in Disney California Adventure that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser, you might be in luck! We took a trip to Disneyland Resort to see if there was anything new for us to check out! While we were strolling through Disney California Adventure we happened to see a brand-spankin’ new dessert at Pacific Wharf Cafe — the Strawberry Shortcake Bread Pudding! Strawberry Shortcake Bread Pudding It is a strawberry cheesecake bread pudding with whipped topping and crème anglaise for $5.99. Yes, please. If you like strawberries, this dessert is calling your name! The bread was soft and served warm, while the whipped topping was cool and light. And, the crème anglaise is poured over the top of the whole dessert which adds a moist sweetness to it that really balances everything out. A strawberry lover’s dream! In the middle you’ll find strawberry cheesecake filling that’s not too sweet and perfectly strawberry-flavored — you can taste it in every bite! Strawberry goodness. So, yes, you’ll have yourself bread pudding, cheesecake, AND strawberry shortcake all in one — which we LOVED! But, if you’re not a fan of strawberries, cheesecake, or fruity desserts, we’d probably recommend skipping this. Of course, there are plenty of other sweet treats to try in Disneyland too like sugar-loaded churros and adorable Star Wars donuts, so stay tuned to DFB for more of the latest Disney snack news! We didn’t expect a Disneyland churro to make us sad but here we are. Want to Learn More About Disneyland? Check Out the Links Below!

If you’re looking for a casual meal in Disney World that’s still REALLY good, Disney Springs is THE place to be! The Polite Pig at Disney Springs! While there are a ton of options to please almost any flavor palette, like Pan-Asian cuisine at Morimoto Asia or Spanish-inspired eats from Jaleo, there are also some more traditional eats like BBQ from The Polite Pig! But, just because you’re opting for some traditional American eats doesn’t mean that you have to settle — The Polite Pig is now home to SWEET TEA fried chicken and we knew we HAD to check it out as soon as it was announced! The Sweet Tea Fried Chicken is the new Chef Special that you can order up on the menu for $19. It comes with fried chicken marinated in sweet tea, served with succotash, coleslaw, a cheddar biscuit, and hot honey sauce. And you guys…this meal HIT. THE. SPOT! Chef Special The fried chicken was moist and the breading was super crispy, which made for the perfect bite. But, surprisingly, that wasn’t actually the star of the dish for us… . Fried Chicken and Cheddar Biscuit The true star was the succotash! OMG, this side was DE-LISH-US and is made with lima beans and corn in a cream sauce, that’s then tossed with bread crumbs on top. OH, and we can’t forget to mention the kick of heat at the end of each bite! If you love yourself some spice then you’ll probably enjoy this one — otherwise, you might want to have a glass of milk with ya. Succotash We also really enjoyed the cheddar biscuit, which was moist, flaky, and delicious. But the coleslaw? It was DOUSED in vinegar rather than the mayo-based coleslaws we’re used to having — so if you’re a big fan of vinegar-based dishes then this might end up being the highlght. As far as our taste buds go though, we weren’t big fans. Cole Slaw The Chef Special comes with a cute, tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce if you want to add even more of a kick to your meal. But, we found that the hot honey sauce provided just enough heat to balance out all the flavors in the chicken. Hot Honey Sauce and Tabasco Included in the Chef Special Overall, we thought the Chef Special was a good option among the many tasty eats you can find at The Polite Pig. If we could change anything, it would be the coleslaw — we prefer mayonnaise-based coleslaws, but of course, that’s just our own preference! It is on the pricier end of the menu, but with three sides and a big serving of chicken, you could likely get away with sharing this dish with a friend or two. So head over to The Polite Pig to give their Chef Special a try! And we’ll continue reviewing the new foods popping up around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB!

If you’re planning a Disney World trip right now, you’ve probably already learned that these vacations are NOT cheap. So you’ll want to make the MOST of your time in the parks! And Disney has some extra perks that just might be able to help you do that. Magic Kingdom For Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, the parks introduced Early Theme Park Entry, which was one of the benefits that replaced Extra Magic Hours (which have been canceled). With this benefit, Disney World hotel guests can enter each theme park a half-hour before official park opening. Now, we have some big news about the future of Early Theme Park Entry in Disney World! Disney has announced that Early Theme Park Entry will continue beyond Disney World’s 50th Anniversary and through 2023 at least. That means that during your upcoming vacation in 2022 or 2023, you will be able to take advantage of this benefit as long as you’re staying in a Disney World resort or one of the other participating hotels. Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Early Theme Park Entry allows guests to enter any of the 4 Disney World theme parks 30 minutes before park opening time every day. That means resort guests get a head start on getting to popular rides and attractions, which often means much shorter lines than you’ll see later in the day. Mine Train! We definitely recommend taking advantage of this perk if it applies to you. Our advice is to be at the parks 30 minutes before you can get in, which will mean 1 hour before official park opening time if you’re using Early Theme Park Entry. That should give you plenty of time to get through the admissions line and be on your way to the attractions! Get here early! Remember that you’ll need a valid park ticket, a park pass reservation, and proof of your resort reservation (your Disney hotel reservation is on your MagicBand, which a Cast Member will scan before you can enter the park). Scanning In! While you’re booking your 2023 vacation (which you can start planning for on June 8th, 2022!), keep Early Theme Park Entry in mind! And keep following DFB for all the latest news and planning tips to help you have the best trip possible.

Disney Genie+ launched back in October of 2021, but it has since seen several changes! Lightning Lane at Kilimanjaro Safaris The paid system replaced Disney’s previously free FastPass program. Now, you have to pay $15 per day, per person to use Genie+, which allows you to make reservations to skip the lines of certain Disney World attractions using the Lightning Lanes. Disney has been making changes periodically to the system, and now, MORE changes are on the way! Starting on June 8th, you will ONLY be able to buy Disney Genie+ on the DAY OF your visit to the parks. You will no longer be able to buy the service pre-arrival as a ticket add-on for dates remaining in 2022 and in 2023. Everest Lightning Lane So, going forward, you will only be able to buy Genie+ through the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit (starting at midnight), one day at a time. Currently, if you buy Genie+ ahead of your trip, you have to buy it for ALL the days that you have theme park tickets. Splash Mountain Lightning Lane Disney says this adjustment will help manage the incredibly strong demand guests have shown for Disney Genie+. Lightning Lane If you have already bought Disney Genie+ for ticket dates later this year, you will still be able to use the service during your visit. So basically, if you want to book Genie+ for your whole stay in the future, you need to do it before June 8th!

Have you ever done a date night in Disney World?! EPCOT entrance fountain at sunset While some people may not consider Disney World the spot for a night out on the town or a romantic evening, there are a TON of spots that are perfect for dates. Whether it’s your first date or a night out without your little ones, there is something for everyone. So, let’s talk about the BEST date night spots in Disney World! Bars We’re starting out with one of the more obvious options — bars! There are a ton of bars and lounges in Disney World that are great for date nights, and there usually aren’t many kids around. To start, let’s head on over to Disney’s BoardWalk, to AbracadaBar, which is a magician-themed bar and lounge. Bar seating! This place has a really cool and unique theme that you can’t find in many places, making it a lot more interesting than just your average bar. The drinks are also themed, the bartenders are awesome, and if you look around, you can find a lot of Disney Easter eggs in the decor! You can also order select food items from Trattoria al Forno over here, so you can have snacks and drinks. Full spread of food! Plus, you’re already at the BoardWalk, so you can walk around the area before or after if you choose to do date night at AbracadaBar. Also on the BoardWalk is Jellyrolls! This is a dueling piano bar, which (if you don’t know) is exactly what it sounds like! Two pianos are up on stage, and they take requests for songs from the audience. Piano battle at Jellyrolls This place is super lively, so it would be even more fun for a double date night or for a date night out with a larger group! Do know that you do have to be at least 21 years old and pay a cover to get in. Click here to learn more about Jellyrolls! There are also some fun bars and lounges inside the parks! In EPCOT, La Cava del Tequila is a great place to hang out and have a couple margaritas and some chips and guac. This tequila cave inside the Mexico pavilion generally draws an adults-only crowd, though there isn’t an age limit for entering. Just keep in mind that this date night requires you both to have park tickets and park pass reservations for EPCOT! La Cava del Tequila It is also pretty tiny inside La Cava, but you should always see if there’s a table available because a lot of people just order drinks at the bar to go! There are HUNDREDS of varieties of tequila in here as well as some really fun margaritas. If you want to take your date night up a notch, you can also do the private tequila tasting offered here — the Agave Experience. This will let you try a variety of tequilas and you’ll be guided through the experience by a tequila ambassador. Learn more about the Agave Experience right here! Back over at the resorts, there are many other fun bars and lounges to check out. Over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, you’ll find Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, which has some of our favorite theming in Disney World! This is a hidden tiki bar that comes alive when you order certain drinks. The bartenders are SO FUN, and it’s a very lively atmosphere. Plus, there is also food available! Trader Sam’s And, after 8PM, this bar becomes 21+. If you’re looking for a unique bar experience with some really good (and strong) tiki drinks, this is the place to be. Just make sure to get on the list early in the day (ideally right when it opens at 3PM!) because it can fill up really fast and it’s first come, first serve. We love hanging out in here! If you’re craving a bit more sophistication, at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa you’ll find the Enchanted Rose bar and lounge. This is one of the newer spots at Disney World and it’s absolutely gorgeous. There are three different rooms themed to Beauty & the Beast (in a subtle, elegant way) and there’s a patio outside you can sit at as well. There are plenty of hidden details in the library. This is a great spot to go if you’re feeling fancy or romantic! This bar also has some food and you can sit outside and enjoy the views of Seven Seas Lagoon. Click here to see our review of the Enchanted Rose! Finally, we want to talk about bar crawls! Yes, it is possible to do bar crawls in Disney World, and they’re actually pretty fun. You can do a Monorail bar crawl and hop between the bars at the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian resorts! You can also do a bar crawl along the Skyliner, and stop at spots like Petals Pool Bar at Pop Century Resort, Bar Riva at the Riviera Resort, and the Banana Cabana pool bar at Caribbean Beach Resort. Bar Riva If you would rather do a bar crawl on foot, you could do one through Disney Springs at the many, many restaurants and bars. One idea for a bar crawl would be going to Homecomin’, Jock Lindsey’s, Wine Bar George, and then ending at Raglan Road, where there is also often live music! The OFFICIAL DFB Skyliner Pub Crawl — Click Here! Activities Now, let’s talk about activities you can do during date night at Disney World. Some people want to do more than just going to get a drink or a meal, and we totally get that. Did you know you can go bowling in Disney World? Yep! Over at Disney Springs, you can bowl at Splitsville Luxury Lanes. There’s also food and drinks here that you wouldn’t usually find at normal bowling alleys (like sushi!). Splitsville Luxury Lanes You can also play mini golf in Disney World! Winter Summerland and Fantasia Gardens are the 2 mini golf courses in Disney World, and they’re both very themed and very fun. It’s also not super expensive — it’s only $14 per adult to play a round and the courses are open until 10PM. Mini Golf If you want something a bit more Disney-focused, you can do one of the many tours offered at Disney World. For example, Starlight Safari is a tour that lets you see the animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge using night vision goggles! Or, you can do the Savor the Savanna tour for an early evening date and go on a private safari in Animal Kingdom as well as experiencing a meal on the savanna. ©Disney Want something that makes you feel like a total kid again? Check out the H2O Glow After Hours event at Typhoon Lagoon water park! It’s a party with live music, food, drinks, and way lower wait times to enjoy everything at the water park at night! Find out more about this returning event right here. H2O Glow Night If you want something way more chill, head on over to Disney Springs and catch dinner and a movie at the AMC DINE-IN. You can see the latest Disney releases and have a meal at the same time! Catch a movie! Also at Disney Springs are the Amphicars. These are cars that go in the water! Yep, they drive on land and then turn into boats. It’d be a super unique experience to drive around the lake in a car and then grab some dinner — bonus points if you go at sunset! Amphicars Another fun and incredibly underrated activity is Sangria University, located over at Coronado Springs Resort. This is an afternoon course where you learn about the history of sangria (plus try a bunch of them), and even learn how to make your own! It’s $59 per person for the 90-minute class, and you also have food to go along with the drinks. Do note that this is only offered on Saturdays and Sundays and must be booked in advance. Sangria University Finally, the activity you might enjoy the most on a date night is taking advantage of the Extended Evening Hours at the Disney World parks! If you’re staying at a Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Disney Resort, you get access to Extended Evening Hours, which allow you to stay in select parks on select nights for 2 extra hours after closing. Rose and Crown Pub is open during Extended Evening Hours! Right now, this offering is only for EPCOT and Magic Kingdom (although we have seen it happen previously at Hollywood Studios). Not everything is open in the parks during this time, like food, but there are attractions open and it’s usually WAY less crowded. Spaceship Earth crowds during EPCOT’s Extended Evening Hours There also aren’t typically as many kids that stay in the parks for this offering because it’s so late in the evening. And, if you’re in EPCOT, select bars stay open for you to enjoy! Click here to learn more about Extended Evening Hours! Fancy Restaurants Date nights are the perfect time to try out the nicer restaurants at Disney World! These are the fancier places with more elevated dining experiences that you’ll probably find geared more toward adults compared to the other theme park restaurants. There are a lot of these at Disney Springs, like Wine Bar George (where you can also attend special wine events!), Morimoto Asia, or Jaleo. Wine Bar George You can also find a variety of these restaurants at the resorts, like Jiko, which is over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Jiko’s menu is great for adventurous eaters and has things like steak, seafood, and a big selection of South African wines. Jiko Over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, you can find California Grill, which is up on the top floor of the hotel. This is a very fancy spot that has a special 50th anniversary menu right now. You can catch incredible views of Magic Kingdom, and if you eat here, you can watch the Enchantment fireworks from the observation deck! Appetizers from California Grill’s 50th Anniversary prix-fixe menu We especially recommend doing the 50th Flavors & Fireworks party here if you want to make the night really special. You get appetizers, drinks, and a great view of the fireworks for $129 per person. Celebration at the Top Spread In Animal Kingdom, Tiffins is a great option for a date night! The decor is beautiful here and there are some awesome food offerings like a whole fried fish, butter chicken, and lobster macaroni and cheese. Tiffins Since Tiffins is connected to Nomad Lounge, you could also do drinks before or after your meal to extend your date night! Nomad Lounge bar If you want another dining experience that includes fireworks, head on over to Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort! This is up on the top floor and has a big outdoor patio in addition to the inside restaurant. The food here is delicious, from the ricotta to the rigatoni, and then you can go outside and watch the fireworks happening at EPCOT! Topolino’s Dinner But, we’re not done with rooftop dining yet! Over at Coronado Springs, Toledo is the restaurant on top of Gran Destino Tower. It’s a tapas restaurant so it’s a great place to go if you want to share a bunch of small plates with your date (but they have larger plates, too!). Toledo also has a deck outside that gets you views of fireworks from both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT! Toledo Charcuterie Finally, we couldn’t make this list without mentioning Victoria & Albert’s! This VERY fancy restaurant is over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and is a AAA Five Diamond Award recipient. We’ve had some truly spectacular meals at Victoria & Albert’s. In fact, it’s won a LOT of awards! This is a prix fixe coursed meal that costs a very pretty penny, so it would be a good option for a super special occasion, or if you just want to majorly splurge! Victoria & Albert’s is not open at the moment, but Disney has shared that it will be open by the end of the year. Click here to learn more about Victoria & Albert’s! Shows Finally, let’s talk about shows you can see in Disney World for date night! First up, we have Drawn to Life presented by Disney and Cirque du Soleil. This show at Disney Springs is all about animation. It features acrobatics, choreography, and some amazing costumes! Drawn to Life pre-show There is also now a dining package you can get along with tickets to the show. So, you can get dinner before or after the performance! Click here to learn more about the Drawn to Life Dining Package! We know we already talked about fireworks, but there are actually more fireworks dessert parties in Disney World! There are dessert parties in Magic Kingdom for Enchantment, and the after-party is usually the one that has less kids. You get a prime spot to watch the fireworks and then can chow down on dessert after the show. Disney Enchantment Fireworks Party There is also a fireworks cruise available in Disney World! Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise will let you take in the fireworks of Enchantment from Seven Seas Lagoon while snacking on some sweets. Magic Kingdom fireworks Finally, there are actual concerts from big artists in Disney World! At House of Blues in Disney Springs, artists perform all the time. So, you can check in advance to see if an artist you like is in town and grab tickets! Since you’re already at Disney Springs, you can grab dinner before or after, as well. House of Blues So, there are a TON of ways to have a special date night in Disney World! We hope you enjoy some of these ideas, but if you’re someone who likes things to be a bit more simple, you can always just enjoy time in the theme parks together walking around, or exploring your Disney hotel!

We love so many things about Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The unique snack offerings, the rides, and of course, the animals! Rhino in Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life! While it’s awesome to get to see the animals out in their habitats throughout the day as you make your way through the park, what goes on behind the scenes is often even more interesting. For example, we’ve learned from Disney that lost perfume bottles are actually put to use in Tiger habitats, and now Disney is accessorizing rhinos — yes, REALLY! The health and safety of all Animal Kingdom’s residents is something that is constantly monitored by Disney’s caregivers. Which is why one of the park’s white rhinos, Helen is now wearing…a fitness tracker? ©Disney That’s right! According to Disney, this device monitors the number of steps she takes each day with an accelerometer and GPS tracker to see which area of the savanna she favors the most. The data from the experiment will be shared with over 24 other institutions all participating in a large research study on how to best care for white rhinos in facilities. ©Disney Now, a fitness tracker for a rhino is a little different from the Apple Watches, FitBits, and Garmins that we know for us humans — it takes some getting used to! To get Helen accustomed to the device, her caretakers have had her wear it for an increasingly longer amount of time each day, but it’s always taken off at night. If she appears comfortable with it, many more of Animal Kingdom’s white rhinos (and hopefully around the world) will begin wearing the devices as well to help caregivers learn how rhinos behave differently in certain habitats. You can learn more in the video below! Isn’t technology amazing? Stay tuned to DFB and we’ll keep you up-to-date on all the Animal Kingdom happenings!
