Happy Holidays, folks! Wait…but it’s still May, right? RIGHT?! Yes, don’t worry, you didn’t just blink and it’s suddenly December (although this year does seem to be flying by!). Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe Even though we are far away from the holiday season, that doesn’t stop Disney from releasing holiday merchandise like fun new ornaments! We’ve already seen ornaments themed after things like Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror, and the Disney Hotels. And now, we’ve found even MORE new ornaments showing places in Disney World! First up, we have an ornament showing the Walt Disney World Railroad Main Street Station at the front of Magic Kingdom! We’ve also recently seen a Pirates of the Caribbean ornament in Magic Kingdom! It looks just like the ride on the outside. Pirates of the Caribbean looks a little bit smaller here Then, on the back, you’ll see some pirates, including some of the most iconic in the ride. Who do we have here? All of the ornaments we’ve mentioned so far can be found in Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom. Click here to see more pictures of the Pirates of the Caribbean ornament! Next, we have a new ornament of Peter Pan’s Flight! How fun is this? And, you won’t have to wait 2 hours for it! It looks just like the ride! On the back we can see Captain Hook and the mischievous Tick-Tock the Crocodile. Watch out! It’s such a great little mini version of the ride! We found this ornament in the Celebrity 5 & 10 in Hollywood Studios. Click here to see more pictures of the Peter Pan’s Flight ornament! Finally, we found a Space Mountain ornament! This would look great on a Christmas tree, in our opinion — it would really stand out! Lil Space Mountain! The back of this ornament shows the inside of Space Mountain (well, what you see without the lights on!). You can see an astronaut, the ride vehicles, and a bunch of stars. Far out, dude Can we have mini versions of ALL the Disney World rides, please? We found this one in Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. Click here to see more pictures of the Space Mountain ornament! ALL of these ornaments are $29.99 each. You could get ALL of them and have a tiny version of Disney World on your tree this year! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney merchandise news and updates.

Greetings from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge We’re checking in on Batuu as we often do, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of this planet in a galaxy far, far away. We recently celebrated Star Wars Day, and now there’s one more reason to celebrate — we’re trying a NEW sweet treat they’re serving up at an underrated Galaxy’s Edge spot! The Milk Stand in Galaxy’s Edge is mostly known for serving up both Blue and Green Milk — non-dairy frozen drinks made from coconut and rice milks. The drinks often get a bad rap from many Disney guests, but that’s not what we’re here to talk about. There’s a NEW Chocolate Chip Sweet Sand Cookie being served here! Chocolate Chip Sweet Sand Cookie This new dessert is described as a chocolate chip-toffee cookie with pistachios and sea salt, and was $3.69. We’re not quite sure where the “sand” aspect of the cookie came in, but it was incredible all the same. It did come in a plastic bag, but was still super moist and seemed pretty fresh. Luckily, we didn’t notice any sand in it. At first glance, it reminded us of the cookies they make over at Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs. The texture wasn’t like a Gideon’s cookie as this one was more “baked” and less soft than what we’ve come to expect from Gideon’s. The chocolate chips were gooey, though, and did get messier the more we ate, but the toffee added a nutty sweetness that made us not even care. It got a little messy. A nice crunch was lent by the pistachios, and combined with the sea salt they helped to cut down on how sweet the chocolate and toffee were. Despite having other flavors chocolate was still the main star here, so if you’re not the biggest fan of chocolate you might want to sit this one out. This was a good cookie! Overall, it was a sweet and salty snack that we would definitely get again! For the latest Disney snack news, don’t forget to stay tuned to DFB!

It’s no secret that Disney World has been going through an incredible transformation all throughout the property. Spaceship Earth From major construction in the parks and the resorts to updates on fan-favorite shows and more, your next Disney World trip could look markedly different from your last! We’ve been bringing you construction updates as we get them, but now we’re taking a look at every single Disney World project in the works — or at least the ones we know about! Magic Kingdom TRON: Lightcycle Run Disney announced that a TRON coaster would be coming to Magic Kingdom all the way back in 2017, and we’ve been not-so-patiently waiting ever since. Located in Tomorrowland, TRON is meant to be similar to its Shanghai Disneyland counterpart with incredible light effects and motorcycle-like ride vehicles. We’re making progress! Construction was halted when the parks shut down due to the global pandemic, and Disney hasn’t shared any recent updates on when we might be able to actually experience this attraction. TRON: Lightcycle Run Despite not opening with the 50th Anniversary Celebrations as originally intended, work is still continuing on TRON, and we hope to be able to share some news about its opening with you soon! Read all about the TRON coaster here! Walt Disney World Railroad Disney guests were saddened to see that the Walt Disney World Railroad had to close in order for construction on TRON to begin. Fantasyland Train Station Disney took this as an opportunity to do some refurbishment on the beloved railroad and the trains that chug along the tracks, and we’ve even spotted it testing recently! In Galaxy’s Edge, guests can play “Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters,” — a virtual bounty hunt where your MagicBand+ (along with the Play Disney Parks app) will alert you of potential virtual bounties you can collect for galactic credits. Read more about this new experience in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge here! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Finding Nemo — The Big Blue…and Beyond! When Disney World began its phased reopening in 2020, Finding Nemo: The Musical in Animal Kingdom did not reopen along with the park. Eventually, Disney shared that the show would be transformed into Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! ©Disney So far, we know that the revamped show is going to be shorter than the original and will feature some familiar music along with some new tunes, set pieces, and Finding Dory characters. An opening date has not been announced, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as we hear something! Blizzard Beach Disney is home to two different water parks: Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, which did reopen after the pandemic-related closures — but Disney quickly announced that Blizzard Beach would be closing for refurbishment at the beginning of 2022. Blizzard Beach The details of the refurbishment — or just how long it’s going to last — have not been shared with the public. Hopefully, Disney won’t keep us out in the cold for too much longer! Disney Resort Hotels Grand Floridian Disney announced that the Big Pine Key building at the Grand Floridian Resort would be undergoing a massive transformation to include 200 new DVC villas. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa The new studio villas are themed after Mary Poppins Returns, similar to the new theming at Citricos located in the same hotel. 1-Bedroom Kitchen ©Disney We got to tour a model of the new rooms and they’re so beautiful — we definitely feel those luxurious Grand Floridian vibes! Take a tour of the new rooms here! Polynesian Village Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort isn’t the only hotel undergoing a massive transformation, as the Polynesian Village Resort will also be getting brand new DVC Villas! ©Disney According to Disney, the new villas are “inspired by the early concepts for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort,” and will sit on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon. Not only that, but there will be new recreation offerings and dining options as well! Construction has begun! The new Polynesian Village Villas are projected to open sometime in late 2024 — so stay tuned! Read more about the transformation here! Magnolia Golf Course Did you know that Disney World is home to multiple full-sized golf courses? Yep! You can hit the links on your Disney vacation — but Disney’s longest golf course won’t be an option for a while. Magnolia Golf Course ©Disney The Magnolia Golf Course has been closed for refurbishment since May 9th, 2022, and there is no end in sight — or at least, not one that Disney has shared with guests! For now, you’ll have to get your golf in at Disney’s Palm or Lake Buena Vista courses instead. Check out the newest Disney golf technology! It’s clear that Disney World doesn’t ever plan on evolving — new innovations, technology, and information is popping up all the time, and it’s important for Disney to stay at the forefront of all of it!

It’s been a tumultuous time for airlines and flying in general. JetBlue recently announced that flyers would see a reduction in the airline’s summer schedule as they work to hire more staff ahead of one of the peak seasons for flying and traveling — summertime. ©GETTY IMAGES JetBlue was also snubbed by Spirit Airlines for a potential merger after Spirit chose to accept Frontier Airlines’ offer instead. As the travel and airline industry gears up for a busy summer, one airline has recently reached a deal with its pilots’ labor union on new contract terms. United Airlines announced recently that it has reached a deal with its pilots’ labor union making them the first major airline to do so since the start of the pandemic, according to an article in CNBC. Specific details about the content of the deal were not shared. In the long run, this could equal fewer flight cancellations for the airline. ©Getty Images Since the start of the pandemic, pilots, flight attendants, and other airline workers have faced difficult work conditions and while United is the first airline to come to an agreement with the union, the agreement will still need to be voted on by the union as well as by the pilots. Delta, Southwest, and American Airlines are all still in talks with their respective unions. Do you fly to Disney World? As some airlines are having to reduce flights and the price of gas continues to fluctuate as summer closes in, the travel industry is on uncertain footing. We’ll be keeping an eye on all the airline and travel news, so make sure to stay tuned to DFB for more updates.

You gotta make sure you have enough energy to ride all of the rides and hug all of the characters you want to see! That’s why we bring you all of the latest Disney food reviews so you know where the best bites in the parks are! We tried the Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Meal at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Magic Kingdom! This meal isn’t new, but we’re bringing you a fresh review on this quick-service meal in Disney World! Barbecue Chicken Sandwich Meal This sandwich had barbecue chicken topped with a kale slaw on a fluffy bun, and was served with a side of fries. The sandwich was very tasty, but not spectacular. The chicken was a little bit dry, but it was coated in enough barbecue sauce that it didn’t matter too much. The sauce itself was super sweet, so don’t expect any smoky or spicy barbecue flavors, and the slaw was very crisp. Barbecue Chicken Sandwich The fries were cooked perfectly, and we didn’t get any soggy or burnt bits. This was a good meal, but at $12.29, we think you can get something more worth your money in the parks. However, if you have any picky eaters in your party, this could be a great choice for them. Enjoying some fries with Sonny Eclipse! We suggest heading over to Columbia Harbour House for the Trio Platter. It comes with fried shrimp, chicken strips, battered fish, hushpuppies, and the choice of a side for $14.29. On top of that, it’s easy to share!! We’ll keep trying everything new that pops up in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Since Disney World’s reopening in summer 2020, Disney has introduced the Park Pass Reservation system. Magic Kingdom What started as a way to control capacity at Disney World as a health and safety measure seems to be the new “normal” of Disney vacation planning. The Park Pass Reservation system requires that you make a free reservation at the park you’re planning to go to before you can go in. This is pretty different from how park entry worked before, so we asked our readers if the park pass reservation system has changed the way they plan Disney World trips! Yes, it takes away flexibility Reservations can fill up very quickly, especially during busy times of the year, so you have to make your reservations early, and once they’re made, it’s difficult to change them. Some of you said that yes, park pass reservations have changed the way you plan your trips because they take away some of the flexibility that we knew before. EPCOT One reader said,”Yes. No more last minute decisions when park hopping. Back in the day, we bounced around depending on what we felt like that day.” Yes, because Park Hopping is later The Park Hopping rules have also changed with the reservation system. Now, guests must enter the park they made a reservation at before hopping to another park, and you can’t hop before 2PM. Animal Kingdom One of our readers doesn’t like “needing to wait until 2 to park hop! The reservation wouldn’t be soooo bad if we could leave and go somewhere else for lunch!” Read more about park hopping in Disney World here! Yes, because I planned my Park days around Dining Reservations Some of you noted how planning which park you would do what day isn’t a new concept at all. The old FastPass+ system allowed you to make FastPasses for rides in advance, and a lot of exclusive dining options also require advance reservations. So pretty! One of you said, “Yes, we used to make dining reservations and then base our park day on that or hit up HS when raining. We miss the flexibility!” No, I like planning ahead Some of you said that the reservation system hasn’t changed how you plan at all! Some people like planning ahead and knowing exactly which parks they’re going to do what day. If you like having your plans set in stone ahead of time, the reservations can guarantee that you can get into the park you want! Slinky Dog Dash A reader said, “We had no problems with the reservation system at all. We were able to go to our planned park in the morning and then go wherever our hearts took us once park hopping was available.” See which dining reservations you need to make in Disney World this year! No, I don’t care for Park Hopping Alternatively, some people don’t care for park hopping to begin with, so the changes to the park hopping system don’t affect their plans. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Someone said, “We have no problem with it. I always go by crowd calendars and don’t bother park hopping.” ‘Star Wars’: Galaxy’s Edge Another one of our readers told us, “No. We go to the parks at rope drop anyway. So nothing has changed for us. Park hopping availability, maybe but that was more prevalent when we were able to make FP reservations.” EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival There are so many things that have changed at Disney World over the last few years, like Genie+, so planning a Disney vacation is pretty different from how it used to be! And Disney CEO Bob Chapek has commented on Park Passes and their impact on capacity, so it seems like this is another change that is here to stay for the time being. We’re always staying up to date with all the latest in all things Disney, so stay tuned to DFB for more! Click here to see which park pass reservations you need to make ASAP!

We’ve seen a lot of Scarlet Witch lately, and we are absolutely loving it! Just like many Marvel fans, we’re big supporters of Wanda Maximoff. Wandavision ©Marvel Studios We’ve seen her most recently in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in theaters, but you can also see her in WandaVision and other Marvel films on Disney+! Earlier this week, Disney shared that the Scarlet Witch ears would be released online today, so we had our alarms set! We were ready to go, right at 7 AM PT, but it would seem like other people also set alarms because these popular ears sold out in less than a MINUTE! ©Disney When we checked the shopDisney website, the ears appeared to be available, and they still showed as available as they were added to our bag. However, when it came time to actually check out, we got an error message saying that the ears were out of stock! Scarlet Witch is a popular character, and her popularity has only grown due to the show WandaVision, the second Doctor Strange movie, and now, she’s even going to be making appearances in Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure! Avengers Campus These ears feature the iconic pointed headpiece we see in WandaVision, and the side of the headband says “I have everything under control.” They were $29.99. These ears made a brief appearance in Disneyland, but there’s still no word on when or if they will be arriving in Disney World. Stay tuned to DFB and we’ll be sure to let you know if we spot them!

There’s a lot that goes into planning a Disney World vacation. You have to buy tickets, make your park reservations, decide where you’re going to stay, and (this one’s our favorite) decide where you’re going to EAT. Crystal Palace Restaurant in Magic Kingdom There’s a lot of things that go into making this very important decision, like the number of people in your party, dietary preferences, as well as the length of your vacation. Luckily, we’re here to help you make this decision easier. Let’s get into it! Time Constraints When you go to book a dining reservation for your Disney World vacation, it is important to consider any time constraints you might have. The length of your vacation may be the biggest issue you face as it can be hard to pack in everything you want to do even on long trips! It can be hard to pack in everything you want to do into one trip! If you’ll only be in Disney World for a few days, you might not want to fill up your schedule with lengthy dining experiences. Each meal does not need to be at a sit-down restaurant, and Disney has some great quick-service options that won’t take up as much of your time. Satuli Canteen, a Quick-Service Restaurant in Animal Kingdom Another thing to consider with timing is what else you have planned for the day. For example, if you have a 1PM reservation to build a droid at the Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios, you probably don’t want to make a dining reservation for Oga’s Cantina at 12:30PM. Oga’s Cantina This could cause you to be late to your reservation or to have to cut either your dining experience or a park experience short. Make sure you allocate for plenty of time between experiences. Click here for our SECRET tip for booking dining reservations in Disney World! Park Plans The window to book your dining reservations opens up 60 days prior to your vacation. You may not have your entire vacation planned out 60 days before you leave, but we recommend at least knowing what park you’re going to be in each day, as this will help you when it comes to dining! You don’t want to be making dining reservations for a restaurant in a park you won’t be visiting that day. Via Napoli It’s also important to remember that restaurants located inside a Disney World park do require valid theme park admission for that day and that you cannot hop until 2PM. Click here for 56 must-read Disney dining tips! Budget When it comes to Disney World dining, your budget may be the most important thing to consider. Disney restaurants can accommodate a variety of budgets, with some of them getting pretty pricey. The Hollywood Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios It can sometimes help to sit down and make a budget when you very first start planning your trip and map out how much you are willing to spend on different facets of your vacation. For example, would you like to splurge on a nice hotel room and skip out on more expensive dining? Maybe you’d like to pass on souvenirs and instead plan more signature dining experiences. California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort All of this can go into deciding where you want to eat when in Disney World. Table service restaurants tend to be more expensive than quick-service spots, but if dining in a sit-down restaurant is important to you, there are some more budget-friendly table service restaurants, especially if you dine at lunchtime rather than at dinner. Online menus list prices, so you can look ahead of time and see what everyone is hoping to order and about how much that dining experience would cost you. Click here to see the 5 most expensive things in Disney World that you should still buy! Dietary Preferences We recommend looking over the menus at the restaurants to make sure there’s something that everyone in your party would actually want to eat before committing to it. The last thing you want to do is show up for your reservation, take a look at the menu and then realize nothing sounds good. Yak and Yeti Menu in Animal Kingdom Menus for Disney World restaurants can be found both in the My Disney Experience App and on the Disney website, so you can check them out beforehand. Offerings are, of course, subject to availability and menus may change before you dine there, but it’s a good idea to take a look to make sure even the pickiest eater in your group will be able to find something. You can also check out the DFB guide to see what we suggest and follow the DFB newsletter for the latest menu updates! Click here for our guide to eating in Disney World with allergies! Who Are You Traveling With? It’s also important to consider the individuals in your group along with their interests! For example, if you are traveling with small children, you might want to reserve a character meal so they are guaranteed to meet some characters. Dining at Chef Mickey’s If you’re heading to Disney World with a group that is more interested in packing all they can into a park day, a sit-down dining reservation may not be the best option. It’s all about knowing what you and your party want to get out of your vacation. Dining Room of Tony’s Town Square Restaurant Larger groups can also be harder to accommodate as parties greater than six may have difficulties being able to secure a reservation. You may find yourself needing to split up and make two reservations for around the same time. A travel agent, like our friends over at Small World Vacations can also help with situations like this when helping you book your trip. Remember they are completely free to use and can help take the headache out of planning a Disney vacation. Click here for our ranking of Disney World’s character dining locations! Dining reservations can be made 60 days ahead of your vacation and must be canceled no later than 24 hours before the reservation, otherwise you may incur a cancellation fee.

When Disney announced that traditional meet and greets were returning to the parks, we were ecstatic! Meet and greets are back! Almost two full years after Disney World began its phased reopening, we were finally able to high-five, hug, and even dance with our favorite characters once again. Many meet and greet spots opened with an option to bypass the standby line with Disney Genie+ Lightning Lanes, and now it looks like that won’t be an option any longer at one location! We love visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios to catch up on the latest happenings in Batuu or see what our pals The Muppets are up to. But, we especially love the glitz and glamour that comes with walking down Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards — and then seeing our girl Minnie in her most glam outfit ever! Mickey at Red Carpet Dreams Disney World guests looking to meet Mickey and Minnie at Red Carpet Dreams near ABC Commissary now only have one way to do so — through a regular standby line. Beginning May 13th, there is no longer a Lightning Lane option for this meet and greet. Minnie at Red Carpet Dreams If meeting Sorcerer Mickey and Movie Star Minnie is on your Hollywood Studios to-do list, make sure you keep this new information in mind!

The way guests skip the line is changing in many Disney parks. Last year, Disney World unveiled Genie+ and the pay-per-ride system and Disneyland Paris introduced something called the Premier Access system, which is similar to Genie+ in that guests can choose to pay a fee to skip the line at eligible attractions. You can pay to skip the line at eligible rides, like Space Mountain! These services have been replacing the previously used FastPass system, and now, Premier Access is coming to another Disney park. Tokyo Disney announced recently that the two parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea will use Premier Access for two rides beginning on May 19th. Tokyo Disneyland Resort At Tokyo Disneyland, Premier Access will be available for Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, and at Tokyo DisneySea, it will be available for Soaring: Fantastic Flight. It will be 2,000 yen for each ride, which is about $15.50 USD. This is similar, if not a little higher, to prices we’ve seen for Individual Lightning Lanes in Disney World for things like Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios. Rise of the Resistance Entrance in Hollywood Studios Guests wishing to purchase Premier Access for these rides can do so through the Tokyo Disney Resort App by tapping “Disney Premier Access” under the My Plan section of the app. From there, you will be able to choose the members of your party, select your experience, and pay. Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast and Soaring: Fantastic Flight will be the only two rides available when Premier Access arrives in Tokyo Disney on May 19th, but we’ll be on the lookout to see if more rides are added.
