Disneyland is home to some of Disney’s most iconic and classic snacks. Let’s talk about Disney food! Sure, there’s always Dole Whip, but Disneyland has historically also been the king of churros and corn dogs. But, hidden away inside Jolly Holiday Bakery is another one of our favorite Disney snacks — the Toasted Cheese Sandwich. And, recently, this iconic dish got a bit of an upgrade so we had to stop by to give it a try! If you’re not familiar, served with a side of tomato soup, the classic toasted cheese sandwich is a good serving of cheese smacked between two pieces of bread that are then toasted so the cheese gets nice and gooey. Simple as that! And, though there’s nothing fancy going on here, it’s become a favorite for many guests visiting the park. Toasted Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup While you can still get the classic sandwich, there’s a new seasonal twist that really beefs this puppy up (literally!). Let us introduce you to the Beef Birria Toasted Cheese Sandwich! It loaded with beef along with Pepperjack Cheese, Onion, Cilantro, and Salsa Verde all served between two slices of Sourdough Bread and a side of consomme. LOADS of meat! We’re going to get straight to the point here — you need to RUN to Jolly Holiday for this sandwich NOW! It easily ranks among one of the best that we’ve had in the parks thanks to the tender and flavorful meat that’s packed in there. Plus, the onions and cilantro don’t overpower the dish — they add just a bit of additional flavor. And, that salsa verde…YUM! DELICIOUS flavors Dip it all in the consomme and you’ve got one tasty lunch or dinner (or BOTH!). Consommé This is a seasonal item, so it’s only available for a limited time. That means if you want to try it out, you should do so quickly. You can get it now for $13.49 and be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more of the latest Disney news and updates!

It’s that time of year when we show mom how grateful we are — but why limit the celebration to a single day? Mother’s Day Display Disney World is PACKED with sweet treats for Mother’s Day right now, including a cake that has champagne in it (we’re big fans of this one, for obvious reasons), a raspberry and chocolate mousse cake, and more. And, while those treats will disappear shortly after Mother’s Day, Disney Springs has a celebration that will last all month long! Each weekend in May, AdventHealth will be hosting “Celebrating Moms All May Long” in Disney Springs, which will provide guests with TWO new ways to…well…celebrate moms! Disney Springs Get mom out from behind the camera, and in front of the lens with a special “Mom” photo backdrop near the Orange Garage entrance. Disney PhotoPass photographers will be available here Fridays through Sundays, but the photo op will be up all week long for guests. ©Disney And, nearby, you’ll also find a new “Love Grows Here” table located near Enzo’s Hideaway at The Landing where you can write a note to the mom in your life on seed paper postcards and then drop it in the mailbox! The postcards can then be planted anywhere and they’ll grow into wildflowers. How cool is that?! ©Disney This is only happening in May, so be sure to stop by if you’re visiting Disney Springs this month! And, as always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!

Let’s be real here…one of the best parts of Disney World is the FOOD and Disney fans have OPINIONS! People have THOUGHTS about Disney food! Whether it’s your first time visiting Disney World or your 50th time, you’ve probably heard from all your best Disney friends (like us!) about what restaurants they LOVE and which ones they HATE. There are fan favorites like Le Cellier in EPCOT and Homecomin’ by Chef Art Smith in Disney Springs, and some more under-the-radar spots like Takumi-Tei or Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen. And, this year, when USA Today took to the masses to see which theme park restaurants are the best, TWO Disney World restaurants ranked in the top ten, but they’re likely NOT what you might expect! Each year, a panel of experts collaborates with USA Today’s 10Best to pick a list of nominees for best theme park restaurants in the U.S. Then, readers are asked to vote on their favorites to narrow down the list to the top 10. Animal Kingdom Here are the 2022 results: Confisco Grille — Universal’s Islands of Adventure Yak and Yeti — Disney’s Animal Kingdom Trapper’s Smokehouse — Busch Gardens Williamsburg Aunt Granny’s Restaurant — Dollywood Mythos Restaurant — Universal’s Islands of Adventure Zambia Smokehouse — Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Das Festhaus — Busch Gardens Williamsburg Leaky Cauldron — Universal Studios Florida Be Our Guest Restaurant — Magic Kingdom Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant — Knott’s Berry Farm Yes, you ARE seeing straight — Yak & Yeti came in at NUMBER 2, and Be Our Guest Restaurant almost entirely missed the list coming in at NUMBER 9! Yak & Yeti Now, before you discount the rankings altogether wondering if that many people even know about Yak & Yeti in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, let’s take a look at what we’ve been saying about these two spots all along. Yak and Yeti Ahi Tuna Nachos, how we love thee. Located in Animal Kingdom’s Asia section near Expedition Everest, this Table-Service restaurant has offered consistently good food for YEARS. From appetizers like the Dragon Roll Bowl to Ahi Tuna Nachos that we are STILL dreaming about, those looking for some more unique theme park eats can’t go wrong here. Plus, reservations are generally pretty easy to get at Yak & Yeti meaning that you don’t have to stress about securing your spot. Yak & Yeti spread! So, maybe it’s the delicious Asian cuisine or maybe it’s the no-stress experience, or maybe it’s BOTH — but, we can certainly see why this spot might rank among the top in Disney World. But, is it the best? Well, we’ve always enjoyed it but found that some other restaurants in the Disney Parks are more suited for a group with a variety of flavor palettes. Lo Mein Combo at Yak & Yeti And, it likely comes as no surprise that Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom made the top 10 list. It has historically been difficult to get a reservation here because so many park-goers want to eat inside! After all, you’re basically stepping into a scene from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast making it one of those must-do-at-least-once kind of places. Grand Ballroom at Be Our Guest Restaurant When it comes to the food, Be Our Guest is currently serving a prix fixe menu for both lunch and dinner, and in our experience, all the offerings have been good (just not knock your socks off good). In our recent visits, we’ve enjoyed the Center-cut Filet Mignon and their newest brunch offerings, plus it’s one of the ONLY places in Magic Kingdom you can try the Grey Stuff (which you’ll recognize from the movie!). Center-cut Filet Mignon at Be Our Guest The big thing to keep in mind here — and what could have put the restaurant a bit lower in voters’ minds — is just how pricey and LONG of a dining experience it is. You’ll need to carve out a nice portion of your park day and budget to dine here. Inside Be Our Guest Restaurant So, where do these restaurants rank for you? And, do the restaurants in other theme parks really out-rank so many at Disney World? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

You won’t BELIEVE the week we’ve had in Disney World! Cinderella Castle This week was FULL of news, with some of the more unexpected news coming from new updates and developments for projects that were already in motion. Find out all about it here! KiteTails Missing Showtimes We already knew that Disney would be changing the way we watch KiteTails in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but Disney hadn’t officially announced when those changes would be coming. This week, however, we noticed an update on Disney’s website. Hey There! As of May 27th, there are no showtimes listed for KiteTails. The updated version of the show is set to be shorter and have more frequent showtimes around the Discovery River Lagoon, so we’re interested to see how that turns out! We’ll keep an eye out for more updates. Read more about the KiteTails missing showtimes here. EPCOT Announcements CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall This week Disney made some announcements about CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall coming to EPCOT’s World Celebration neighborhood. Disney had previously announced that a festival center would be part of the EPCOT Transformation, but it was later changed to be described as a “festival area” so we were curious to see what would ultimately happen with that project. Now, we have an update! ©Disney CommuniCore Plaza is an outdoor space where large-scale concerts or more intimate performances can be held, and CommuniCore Hall will be located within the plaza as a center for festival programming, complete with features like a demonstration kitchen, a mixology bar, art exhibits, and more. Seems like things are different than that original Festival Center Disney shared concept art for way back when, but the idea of a space for festival-related activities in World Celebration continues. ©Disney This week Disney also shared that the World Celebration neighborhood will be divided into different gardens, which will change along with the seasons. We can’t wait to see everything finished! Learn more about CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall here! EPCOT Character Spot We also learned more details about a new EPCOT character spot coming soon to the CommuniCore Hall area. This new meet-and-greet location will be called “Mickey & Friends,” and you’ll be able to meet some of your favorite Disney characters here. Hey There Mickey! The previous Character Spot closed as part of the EPCOT transformation, so it’ll be great to have a one-stop location for some favorite characters again! Here’s what we know about this new EPCOT character spot! New Look at Journey of Water Disney shared a new look at Journey of Water, the upcoming water exploration trail attraction inspired by Moana. If you zoom in, you can see water in arches above the trail, and it also gives you a better idea about the layout of the trail. ©Disney This attraction will be interactive, and there will be an element of water conservation and preservation too. We’ll update you with an opening date as soon as we know more! Get a NEW look at Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana here! Hey, Disney! Update We already knew Hey, Disney!, an Alexa voice assistant, was coming soon to Disney hotel rooms, but we were able to see it in action this week, and we learned more about all the features it will have, like character interaction, Disney trivia, soundscapes, stories, and lots more. Hey, Disney! Will Be Able to Answer Some Helpful Questions We were also able to confirm that the MagicBand+ will be able to connect with Hey, Disney! later this year, which will add a special element to certain experiences. And speaking of MagicBand+, we’ve got some big updates on that too! Learn all about Hey, Disney! coming soon to Disney Parks. MagicBand+ Update The highly anticipated interactive MagicBand+ was accidentally released early in Disney Springs this week, which was quite a surprise! Disney later confirmed that the MagicBand+ will be officially released in Summer 2022. MagicBand+ We got to experience the MagicBand+ in action during a media event, where we learned how it will interact with the 50th anniversary gold character statues, as well as how it can turn you into a Bounty Hunter in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. There’s a lot more too, and we don’t have long to wait for the official release in summer 2022! Check out the MagicBand+ in action here! New Fantasmic! Details Last year Disney announced the return of Fantasmic! to the Disney parks, and noted that it would include new characters, animation, stunt performers, and more. We learned a bit more about what some of those changes will be this week! Fantasmic! According to Disney, characters like Aladdin, Mulan, Pocahontas, Moana, and Elsa will be featured in the new sequence, and there will also be new technical enhancements. Disney has not yet announced the official return date of Fantasmic! to Hollywood Studios, but we’ll be watching closely for more announcements. Read more about the new Fantasmic! details here. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Updates This week two Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind features were confirmed by Disney, and they concern the line itself. Standby Line This week Disney confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will NOT have a standby line in EPCOT during its opening phase, and instead it will feature a Virtual Queue. That means guests will need to get a spot through the virtual Queue in order to ride, and you can do that through the My Disney Experience app. Guardians Cosmic Rewind officially opens on May 27th, and we’ll be watching closely for more details on how the virtual queue will work. There will be NO standby line for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Pay-Per-Ride If you don’t want to take your chances with the virtual queue, you can also pay for an Individual Attraction Selection for Guardians of the Galaxy. It will NOT be available through the regular Genie+ service, but instead will be available through Pay-Per-Ride. In order to get a pay-per-ride selection for this coaster, you’ll need to have a park pass reservation for EPCOT for the day, and the time at which you can purchase your Lightning Lane will vary depending on your situation. If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel (or select other hotels, namely Shades of Green and the Swan and Dolphin), you can book beginning at 7AM. If you aren’t staying at a qualifying hotel, you have to wait until park opening. ©Disney The pricing for the Cosmic Rewind Lightning Lane has not yet been announced, but right now the highest priced Disney World attraction is generally Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at $15 per person. We’ll let you know more details when we find out! Learn more about Cosmic Rewind pay-per-ride here. And that’s all the unexpected news from Disney World this week!

There are a lot of ways to celebrate the mom in your life in Disney World right now! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney Springs is hosting some limited-time offerings with photo-ops and a special mailbox to send your mom a note, and — one of our favorite ways to celebrate, you ask? Well, FOOD of course! And, Disney has A LOT of ’em! So far, we’ve tried a ROSE-SCENTED cupcake, a dessert trio, a donut LOADED with frosting, and more. And, now we’re headed to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to try out a returning treat that features CHAMPAGNE! The Grand Floridian is home to Gasparilla Island Grill, which is where we found the Mother’s Day Mimosa Cake! This treat is a yellow sponge cake with mimosa mousse butter crème and a white chocolate “glass” slipper. That’s right, this beauty features one of our favorite brunch drinks IN TREAT FORM! We tried this treat last year and really enjoyed it, so we got it again to see if it’s as good as we remembered! Mimosa Cake When it comes to looks and ingredients, this treat hasn’t changed one bit from what we remember last year. She’s still GORGEOUS! But, what about the taste? The treat was surprisingly light and easy to eat. And, if you’re not a fan of champagne or alcohol, don’t worry! We didn’t find that the mimosa mousse tasted much like champagne at all (a disappointment for those who were hoping it did), but it still has the brightness of the bubbly beverage. We mostly tasted orange zest and extract mixed in with the creamy mousse. The buttercream on top also isn’t weighed down by a ton of sugar, so it balances well with the cake and mousse. Inside the cake Note that the cake is served cold, so the citrus flavors combine with the chill to make for a refreshing bite. The “glass” slipper is white chocolate and is a nice garnish, but we thought that it was a little too much for us to eat at once. Our only downside? The treat melts fast, so the purple coloring and “glass slipper” will pay the price if you waste any time before eating it. It melted fast! All in all, this treat was a winner for us once again! If you like citrus flavors or champagne, then you’ll probably enjoy this treat too — just bear in mind that it does contain some traces of alcohol. It costs $7.99 and can easily be shared between 2 to 3 people, so it’s a pretty good deal! But, it won’t stick around much longer — it’s only available through May 8th!

It’s no secret that wherever you look in Disney World, things are constantly changing. Spaceship Earth We recently got to experience Connections Cafe and Eatery for the very first time, and we even got the chance to go on EPCOT’s newest thrill ride ahead of its official opening (SPOILER: it’s awesome!). But, that’s not all the change we’re currently seeing around the parks, so let’s take a look at the Disney World construction updates from this week! Magic Kingdom TRON: Lightcycle Run Workers are busy clearing out more dirt and making room for additional concrete to eventually be laid on the ground at this ride! That’s progress! And, it looks like the canopy is completely finished — we can even see some of the interior structure below as well! Can you see it? We haven’t spotted any active testing of the ride on our most recent visit, so stay tuned for updates on when we might actually get to experience this attraction! Check Out What You Need to Know About the TRON Ride! EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind WOO BOY do we have a Cosmic Rewind update for ya this week!

May the 4th may be over, but every day is Star Wars Day when you’re visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World OR in Disneyland! Mango blue milk? Yes, please! That means we’re still celebrating by trying out even MORE tasty Star Wars-themed snacks at Disneyland (though they won’t be here forever!). So far, we’ve had a new kind of Blue Milk (with MANGO!), a gigantic Wookie Cookie, and even Star Wars-themed pasta. Now we’re back to try out a new lightsaber-themed treat — and no, it’s NOT a churro! Hiding away inside Disneyland’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa at the Snack Cart are the new Lightsaber PRETZELS! These are Pretzel Sticks dipped in chocolate and then rolled in colored sugar. They come in a pack of five with blue, green, and red “lightsabers.” And, we’ve gotta say — they look pretty legit. Lightsaber pretzels Here’s the thing, though — these really are just regular chocolate-dipped pretzels with LOADS of colored sugar. So, there’s nothing fancy going on. But, if you’re in need of a snack that has the perfect salty and sweet balance, we thought that these did the job. They’ve got a good crunch and the real draw here is the fact that they look just like lightsabers! Choose your lightsaber For Star Wars fans, this is probably a good find (though maybe not worth going out of your way for), and they’d also probably be a bit hit with the kiddos. If you would like to try these, we found these at the Snack Cart at the Grand Californian Resort for $12. We’ll also let you know if we find any other snacks from a galaxy far, far away, so stay tuned for more reviews! Want to Learn More About Disneyland? Check Out the Links Below!

Traditional meet-and-greets are back in Disneyland and a ton of new characters seem to be arriving weekly in Avengers Campus for guests to meet! Avengers Campus Recently, Moon Knight (including Mr. Knight, of course) joined the group of superheroes that you could spot roaming the land. And, with the debut of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in theaters, the multiverse has officially made its way to guests with America Chavez now in Avengers Campus. So, if you’re on the hunt for the newest character, here’s where you can find her! For a limited time, America Chavez can be found meeting with guests in Avengers Campus — but, that’s not all! She’s also now appearing in the Dr. Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts show that can be seen in the Ancient Sanctum. Instead of summoning Thor during his performance, Dr. Strange brings out none other than America Chavez! If you’re not familiar with America Chavez, it’s likely because she’s never been seen on the big screen! Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is her MCU debut! She’s a Marvel character who eventually becomes a member of the Young Avengers and her powers include opening “star portals” that allow her to travel through Marvel’s Multiverse. You can see the show daily at 2:30PM, 3:50PM, 5:05PM, 6:55PM, 7:50PM, and 8:45PM. Of course, showtimes are subject to change so be sure that you check the Disneyland app before you make your official plans. Dr. Strange and America Chavez And, Scarlet Witch will also be around Avengers Campus for a limited time, so be sure to catch them both before they’re gone!

Looking for a unique way to treat mom to some flowers this Mother’s Day? Disney World has you covered! Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, a ton of specially-themed treats have popped up around Disney World. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a holiday without some new CUPCAKES for us to try! If you’re heading to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort soon, you have the chance to snag a limited-time Mother’s Day cupcake at both Centertown Market and Spyglass Grill. Spyglass Grill To celebrate the holiday, both spots have added the Strawberry Rose Cupcake to their menus for a limited time! Strawberry Rose Cupcake Disney describes this treat as a rose-scented cupcake filled with strawberry rose mousse and topped with strawberry buttercream and white chocolate decor. A Different Way to Give Mom a Rose! The strawberry buttercream was a real standout for us — it tasted a bit like a strawberry milkshake without being overly sweet! Strawberry Rose Cupcake We also got that vibe from the strawberry filling inside, but it had more of a jelly-like consistency, which also gave it a nice, cooling touch. YUM! But snackers beware — we also got some definite floral flavor notes from this cupcake! We really enjoyed the mix of fruity and floral flavors, but if you’re super floral averse, this one probably isn’t for you! If you want to give this cupcake a try, you can grab one for $5.79 at either Centertown Market or Spyglass Grill. But you’ll have to act fast, because it’s only available now through May 11th!

Hey, DFB friends! We’re back with another Disney World resort room tour! Disney’s Pop Century Resort We recently showed you the inside of the Pirates Room at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and a standard room at Disney’s All Star Movies Resort, but now we’re headed to one of the most popular value resorts at Disney World! That’s right, we’re talking about Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and today we’re taking you through a standard room at the resort. There are MANY perks to staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort including the affordable prices, fun theming, and Disney Skyliner access! The resort takes you through different decades with each area featuring different movies or popular items during the time. We stayed in the 1960s section, so we were near The Jungle Book figures (hi Mowgli!)… Hey there! …and a giant Play-Doh figure. These are great photo-ops and will help you remember where you stayed at Pop Century! GIANT Play-Doh If you score a room in the 1960s section, you’ll be very close to the Hippy Dippy Pool which is the main pool at the resort! Hippy Dippy Pool The Petals Pool Bar is right by the Hippy Dippy pool, so you’re not far from a refreshing cocktail. Petals Pool Bar Last time we gave you a room tour here we had a standard pool view room, but today we just have a plain ole standard room. So let’s take a look at the INSIDE now, shall we? View From the Room The standard rooms at Pop Century come with either a queen bed and queen table-bed or a king bed. As you can see, we got a room with 2 queen-size beds. This is the view when you walk in the door. Full Room If you turn around, you’ll see the front window and mini kitchenette area. The windows are great for bringing some natural light in, but there are black out curtains for when it’s sleep time! Window The kitchenette area has quite a few amenities including a mini fridge, coffee maker, cups, and an ice bucket. Kitchenette Here’s a closer look at the mini fridge. There are a few shelves so you’ll have plenty of room to store drinks or leftover snacks from the parks! Mini Fridge There is also a selection of Joffrey’s coffee and Twinnings tea along with some creamer and sugar packets. Plenty of choices! The coffee maker is especially helpful if you want to skip the coffee lines in the parks and make it ahead of time! Coffee Maker! The television is mounted to the wall and underneath you have a full dresser. TV and Dresser There are three spacious drawers for storage… Lots of space! …and a cabinet-style door with a safe and extra pillows. Even more storage Ever since Disney World reopened last year, there have been several health and safety measures put in place, and that includes hotel rooms. Disney lays out a map and gives details on what they are doing to enhance cleaning during this time. One of these extra measures is wiping down the TV remote and putting it in plastic with a sticker that says “Cleaned”. Enhanced Health and Safety Guidelines As we mentioned above, we are in a room with a regular queen bed and a pull-down queen bed. Here’s a look at the regular queen bed! Queen Bed We love the Mickey pop art above the bed! It fits in perfectly with the theme of the hotel and is a nice touch from the room’s recent renovations. So fun! Disney is optimizing space in these rooms with the second bed as a pull-down bed. By day, you can have a nice table for two… Table …and by night you have a comfy queen bed! Don’t worry, the beds feel exactly the same even though one is a pull-down. Pull-Down Bed When pulled-down this bed reveals similar artwork. Check out pop art Pluto dreaming about some dog bones! Pluto Pop Art Take a look at the room with both beds down. Two Queen Beds Now let’s head towards the bathroom! There is a sliding door for those who want some privacy while getting ready. Sliding Bathroom Door What’s nice about the bathrooms here is that the sink area and the shower/toilet area are separated. This allows for more people in your room to get ready in the morning without being in each other’s way! Sink Area There is a small closet area with plenty of hangers, an ironing board… Closet …an iron, and a blow dryer. Blow Dryer and Iron There is a good amount of counter space in front of the mirror. Also, check out all of the storage space you have under the sink and counter! Sink The mirror is also pretty big, so a few people could use it at the same time! Plus, there is a magnifying mirror to the left. Bathroom Mirror If you turn to the left from the sink, there is the second bathroom area with the shower and toilet. 2nd bathroom area! There are two levels of towel racks on the left wall, and one towel rack above the toilet. The shower has sliding glass doors. Can you spot the cool detailing on the tile in the shower? Shower In the shower, you’ll find the H2O Beauty body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in the refillable bottles. With the enhanced cleaning measures we mentioned earlier, Cast Members clean and put plastic with a “Cleaned” sticker over the pumps. Disney H2O Products We’ll finish up this room tour with a look at the room from the other direction! Another view of the room And that’s a wrap on our Standard Room Tour at Disney’s Pop Century Resort! Prices for these rooms do vary depending on the dates, however since it is a value resort, these are some of the best rates you’ll see at Disney World resorts. We hope you enjoyed this in-depth look at these value resort rooms, and be sure to stay tuned for even MORE resort room tours! PHOTOS: Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Pirate Room Tour!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Though many things have returned to “normal” in Disney World, there are still some lingering health and safety measures in place at Disney World. And, while you may expect to need to wear a face mask in some locations (like First Aid) or miss out on some entertainment offerings that still aren’t back — one issue that you might not expect to face is finding merchandise. Summer is HERE! We’ve seen supply chain issues impact MagicBands, runDisney events, lightsabers in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and more. Plus, even some food items like noodles and chicken fingers have been harder to come by. But, it seems that the problems aren’t over yet — and, if you’re headed to Disney World this summer there’s one item that fans rely on in the heat of the summer that you may not be able to find. If you’ve ever visited Disney World in the summer, you’ve probably passed by (or even purchased) the bright blue and yellow misting spray bottles that are sold all over the parks. These are basically water bottles in a spray bottle with fans on them that guests can use to stay cool when it gets hot at Disney World. We saw a ton of these on carts and at shops just last month (which is pretty normal for Disney World). But, they’re becoming harder to find now! Plenty of misting fans available last month On our most recent visit to the parks, we noticed that we weren’t contemplating shelling out big bucks for these every time we passed a cart. Why? Well, because the carts didn’t have any! We checked Magic Kingdom — nothing. We checked Disney’s Hollywood Studios — no misting fans to be seen. Instead, every cart we passed was filled with some other toy in its place. Where are the fans?! After lots of hunting, we stopped to chat with a Cast Member who shared that the misting fans are currently sold out park-wide and they are not sure when they will be available again. That being said, we did end up finding an alternative to the traditional misting fan over in Pandora — The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. These are different from the ones you can find on all the merchandise carts and have less water capacity and shorter fan blades. Found in Pandora So, what if you find yourself needing to cool down in Disney World right now and you’re nowhere near Pandora? Well, you’ll have to do some planning ahead! We recommend bringing your own misting fan if you’ll be visiting this summer. You can find these in local stores or even on Amazon. This O2COOL Deluxe Handheld Battery Powered Water Misting Fan has excellent reviews on Amazon. ©Amazon Even better? It’s priced at just $11.88. A lot cheaper than Disney World’s version! Click Here To Buy This Misting Spray Bottle with Fan And, you can even bypass the worry of running out of battery life and get something like this USB-Powered Handheld Misting Spray Bottle with Fan. ©Amazon It’s just $15,99. Buy This USB-Powered Handheld Misting Spray Bottle with Fan Now! We did see plenty of cooling towels still available in Disney World too, so that can be a great last-minute alternative if you find yourself in desperate need. Of course, we’ll be keeping an eye out for any other updates on when these spray bottles may come back in stock, and, in the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for more of the latest Disney news!

Are you hoping to have the best day ever in Disney World during your visit? Well, of course, you are! We can’t blame you for wanting the best vacation ever! You’ve saved and planned for months to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth, and you’ll definitely want to experience as much as you possibly can. One of the ways to get a LOT accomplished in a little amount of time is a VIP tour, and if you’ve ever been interested in this offering, we’re breaking down what all the experience entails! What is a VIP Tour? A Disney World VIP tour is a paid, add-on experience where guests will be guided through the park(s) by a knowledgeable Cast Member. During your visit, you’ll get the ultimate VIP treatment — including a customizable itinerary, backstage transportation, and front-of-the-line privileges at attractions. Magic Kingdom Throughout the day, you’ll also be able to learn fun facts about Disney World from the guides, seeing and hearing about details that only Disney insiders know. If you’re a Disney history buff or you’re looking for the most luxurious way to spend the day — this could be just right for you! What Happens Before You Go When planning a VIP tour, there are a few things to note. First, you’ll need valid theme park admission, and that’s not included in the cost of the tour. If you want to visit multiple theme parks during your tour, you’ll need to purchase Park Hopper tickets. ©Disney Also, Disney Park Pass reservations are still required for entry on a VIP tour day. You’ll have to make a reservation for every member of your party at the first park you plan to visit. Animal Kingdom As far as the tour itself goes, you must book for at least 7 hours, and your party can have up to 10 people. The cost ranges from $425 to $850 per hour, depending on the season. (Remember that you can split that cost with the people in your party, so gathering a bigger group may be a good thing!) You’ll also want to budget for the optional gratuity — it’s just nice to tip your guide. What Happens On the Day of Your Tour Rules Even though you’re a “VIP” for the day, you’ll still have to follow certain rules when in the parks! You won’t be able to use cameras, phones, or recording equipment in any backstage areas of the park that you visit. You’ll only be able to take pictures in regular guest areas. Also, children 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult, so don’t plan for your kiddos to go on this tour alone! Pickup and Travel At the beginning of your day, you can schedule a pickup from your Walt Disney World accommodations. (Keep in mind that your hotel price is not included in the cost of the tour, either.) The clock starts on your day at your scheduled pickup time, so you’ll want to be on time for this meet-up. Hotel stay not included! If you’d prefer to save a little time and meet your guide at the parks, you can do that as well, starting your tour later in the day. Either way, you’ll be chauffeured around to your chosen locations throughout the day in your own private transportation vehicle. You’ll park in backstage areas instead of the regular parking lots and enter through private park entrances. How fancy! You’ll get to skip the public parking lots! One of the best parts about a VIP tour is being able to skip the long wait for your favorite attractions. When you arrive at your selected ride, you’ll be directed through the Lightning Lane queue to skip the standby line and get to the front much faster. Ready to skip the line?! If the attraction doesn’t have a specified Lightning Lane, then you’ll be able to skip the entire line — what a treat! Meals Keep in mind that if you’re touring for 7 hours, you’re likely going to need to stop and eat. Meals are not included in the cost of your tour, so you’ll want to budget accordingly. Don’t forget to stop and eat! To save time, it’s probably best to dine quick service on your VIP tour day. Your guide may also give you complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the day, like water bottles, popcorn, and Mickey Ice Cream Bars. The Cast Members/Tour Guides The Cast Member guides themselves are (in our opinion) the best part about the tour! They’ll be able to share insider knowledge and facts about the parks throughout the day, and you can ask them questions about how things work in Disney World. Disney Cast Members are extra special! Walking around the parks and into attraction queues with someone who can point out all the little details and backstory can really enhance your time at Disney World! Is a VIP Tour Worth the Cost? That’s entirely up to you! It’s a LOT of money, but you’re really paying for the ultimate Walt Disney World experience. You’ll get expert knowledge, fast transportation, and you’ll be able to avoid waiting in long lines. No need to wait in long lines! If you’re visiting Disney World for a short amount of time, you could easily knock out quite a few attractions in one day with a VIP tour and get more done than you would be able to otherwise. You may be able to work it into your budget if you split the cost between a party of 10, rather than take the tour with a small group. The service you receive throughout the day will be unparalleled, and it’s hard to put a price on that! You could have a really “magical” day! However, you definitely don’t NEED to do a VIP tour to have the “perfect” day at Disney! Here at DFB, we specialize in helping guests with all the tips and information they need to know before their trips, and if you walk into your vacation well-informed and prepared, you’ll be able to accomplish much more. If you’re heading to the parks soon, make sure to check out our planning guides and our YouTube channel in addition to following the blog — we’ve got tons of advice to share!

Some rides at Disney World are notable not just for their thrills and theming, but for their agonizingly long lines! Lines are starting to get long! Since most queues reach their peaks later in the morning or afternoon, these are the types of rides that you should be visiting FIRST thing in the morning! Rope dropping Disney World definitely has its merits. Not only do you get the sense, for a brief second, that you kinda have the park to yourself, but you have the opportunity to race right onto your favorite rides! There’s that famous rope! Today, Genie+ allows you to reserve Lightning Lanes to skip the line at attractions throughout the day (if you choose to pay for Genie+, that is), and each park’s most popular ride can be booked to ride during a specific time window through Individual Attraction Selections (again, if you are willing to cough up the money for that). So, it’s time to re-evaluate your rope-dropping strategy! Here’s our list of which Disney World attractions you should consider heading to first thing in the morning. Magic Kingdom Seven Dwarfs Mine Train The reigning champ of long wait times in Magic Kingdom is — to the surprise of no one — Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Even on low-traffic days in the park, the ride tends to command a queue upwards of an hour long, so if you’re rope dropping Magic Kingdom, this should be high-priority for you if you don’t want to wait around for a while later! The other option you have here to avoid a long line is to buy this attraction as an Individual Lightning Lane. If you want to skip that cost AND skip the crowds, then heading toward Seven Dwarfs Mine Train as early as possible is one of your best bets! Space Mountain If you decide to purchase Seven Dwarfs Mine Train as an Individual Attraction Selection, then you may want to try to hit Space Mountain first thing in the morning at Magic Kingdom. You can book a Lightning Lane time to ride Space Mountain later in the day if you buy Genie+, but many Disney guests try to check this one off the must-do list early. Space Mountain still draws big crowds each day! While we often think of the “latest, greatest” attractions as the ones that draw the longest lines in Disney World, Space Mountain has lengthy standby lines every single day, despite having opened back in 1975! If you’re not headed to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train first thing, Space Mountain could be your best bet. Click Here to See 30 Hidden Secrets in Magic Kingdom EPCOT Test Track Although EPCOT is mostly known for its food and festivals, it’s got in-demand rides, too — like Test Track, which routinely draws LONG lines! Test Track In the past, we’ve seen queues quoted at more than 100 minutes, making this a must-visit ride earlier in the day. Ya know, before you start Drinking Around the World (because whipping around that track on a belly full of margaritas doesn’t sound too great…). If you aren’t running to Frozen Ever After or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure when EPCOT opens, first thing in the morning is one of the best times to take your SimCar around the track! Frozen Ever After For a slow-moving, easy-going boat ride, Frozen Ever After certainly draws quite the crowd! In fact, the attraction in the Norway Pavilion has had the LONGEST wait time in ALL of Disney World more than once! Frozen Ever After So yeah, before you fuel up on School Bread, be sure and make a beeline for the Frozen Ever After queue, unless you want to spend 78 minutes FROZEN in line later. Frozen Ever After was one of those “pay-per-ride” attractions until recently, when Disney said that at least through August 2022, it will be part of the regular Genie+ Lightning Lane system. So if you were counting on booking it individually during your trip, you will probably want to make this the ride you do first thing in the morning. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure THE most popular ride at EPCOT right now is Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, which is on-brand since it is also the newest ride until Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opens. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure You have two options to minimize your wait at this attraction: Ride it first thing in the morning, or reserve a time to skip the line and pay the fee. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is currently the only Pay-Per-Ride attraction in EPCOT. Since you can probably get away without paying for Genie+ most days in EPCOT, you may want to spend the money to skip the line on this one ride, and use your early morning window to ride Frozen Ever After or Test Track. It’s all about your priorities! Would You Wait Over an Hour for These 16 Rides in Disney World?! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Smuggler’s Run The park with the longest lines these days is definitely Disney’s Hollywood Studios, thanks in large part to buzzy new-ish lands Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land. Smuggler’s Run Though it’s not as hard to get on as Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run is probably one you’re gonna want to run to first thing in the morning (just look at those crowds)! Since you can book Rise of the Resistance as an Individual Attraction Selection for a fee, speed walking to Smuggler’s Run first is a good strategy. Slinky Dog Dash Nowadays, Slinky Dog Dash is routinely the Hollywood Studios ride with the longest lines, with wait times sometimes stretching to 90 minutes! Slinky Dog Dash So if you want to really maximize your time in the park, you’d be wise to make this Toy Story coaster a top priority upon arrival, especially if your group is more into Toy Story than Star Wars! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Though it’s calmed down a LOT since its opening days with 300-minute wait times, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is still a top attraction in Hollywood Studios! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Especially since it’s so central in the park, it’s an easy ride to hit up first — and you probably SHOULD, unless you enjoy spending upwards of an hour in (mostly) direct sunlight! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway used to be one of those “pay per ride” attractions you could book a specific time for, but Disney has temporarily moved it to a regular Genie+ attraction. So that might change your strategy and make this one the ride you choose to do first at rope drop if it is a priority for your group! 22,000 Disney Fans Rank ALL the Rides in Hollywood Studios — Click Here to See the Results! Animal Kingdom Flight of Passage Most rides at Animal Kingdom are pretty easy to get on, with one notable exception. You know the one. Flight of Passage Crowds Flight of Passage is consistently SO popular that it’s actually surprising when it DOESN’T have the longest wait time in all of Disney World! Flight of Passage Crowds So if you’re gonna rope drop Animal Kingdom, and you don’t want to spend up to two hours mid-afternoon waiting around in Pandora or pay for an Individual Lightning Lane, follow the other speed-walking vacationers to get in line for Flight of Passage when Animal Kingdom opens! At the end of the day, if you really want to maximize your time in Disney World and hit up as many of your favorite rides as possible, these are definitely the ones you should be checking off your list FIRST thing in the morning! But we would be remiss if we didn’t also mention an OPPOSITE strategy that works for some Disney Guests! Click Here for 5 Important Disney Genie+ Tips to Know Before You Go to Disney World Go For the Low-Hanging Fruit While our list covers the common strategy of trying to get to the most popular rides early before the crowds build in the parks, there are advocates of doing exactly the opposite! Peter Pan’s Flight What do we mean? Well, while all of the other people lined up at rope drop in Magic Kingdom head to Space Mountain or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, you COULD knock out 3-4 other rides quickly, like, say, Peter Pan’s Flight, Splash Mountain, and Pirates of the Caribbean, before the mid-day crowds pack in. You could choose to tackle Splash Mountain before the crowds arrive. This strategy is especially effective if you are NOT eligible for Early Park Entry — which allows Disney resort guests entry into the parks 30 minutes before the official opening time (you can read more about Early Park Entry here). Those early birds who got in ahead of you may have already filled up the queues for the most popular rides in the parks, while other attraction queues are still very short. This “reverse strategy” could work well for you in the other parks, as well, depending on your priorities! Whether you sprint to the most popular ride in the park or make a beeline to less popular attractions you can walk right on early, any strategy you choose ends with you on a fun Disney World attraction! It’s exhilarating to beat the crowd and feel like you won Disney World! Keep following Disney Food Blog for our best tips for planning your next trip!

Is it even a holiday in Disney World without new treats to try? Cute! There are quite a few limited-edition Mother’s Day treats to try in Disney World, and so far we’ve really enjoyed sweets like the Jumbo Cupcake from BoardWalk Bakery. But we’re not done! It’s time to try not one…not two…but THREE tiny sweets! We made our way to Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for the Mother’s Day Sweet Treats Box, and you get three sweet treats in one box for $6.99! Talk about the perfect Mother’s Day gift. We loved the little box! Inside the box, you’ll find (from left to right) a Coconut Macaroon with white chocolate drizzle, a Guava Macaron, and a Pineapple Cheesecake Creme Puff. You can find them in the cooler at Capt. Cook’s and they’re available via Mobile Order too. We also spotted them at Kona Cafe, but your mileage may vary. They’re so cute! Let’s get into the tastes! We’re starting with our least favorite of the three, the Coconut Macaroon. The coconut was lightly toasted and it had a nice sweet flavor, but we did wish there was more chocolate to help hold it together. Coconut Macaroon Unfortunately, it was also very dry, so it ranked the lowest on our list. Coconut Macaroon The Guava Macaron, on the other hand, was our favorite! This treat says “Mom” on the top and we loved the bright pink color. Guava Macaron This French macaron has a guava filling and it tasted amazing with the macaron itself, which had a cotton candy flavor. We thought the guava was a nice change from the typical berry filling you might find around Disney World! Guava Macaron And it may not have been our favorite, but the Pineapple Cheesecake Creme Puff was delicious! And look how cute it is with the tiny fondant flower. Pineapple Cheesecake Creme Puff The dough was perfectly light and airy with fresh creme inside, and the pink fondant on top balanced the sweetness of the treat with the creme and dough. Pineapple Cheesecake Creme Puff Aside from the dry coconut, our only complaint is that it didn’t come with TWO creme puffs! If you don’t want a huge sweet dessert, this box is perfect, and it would also make a great gift. They’re so cute If you’re looking for a more indulgent dessert experience, we recommend the Bread Pudding at Tambu Lounge in the Polynesian Resort! Otherwise, you can get the Mother’s Day Sweet Treats Box at Capt. Cook’s from May 6th through the 8th, so you don’t have much time! Keep following DFB for more Disney snack news!

Nighttime spectaculars have returned to Disneyland, and there are a lot of ways to celebrate! Main Street Electrical Parade Guests can now enjoy the Disneyland Forever fireworks, World of Color, and the Main Street Electrical parade! Light-up popcorn buckets and sippers, dining packages, a merch collection, and new foods have popped-up all over Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in order to celebrate! Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe has quite a few new items inspired by the big event, and they’re just as colorful as the Nighttime Spectaculars! We already tried the Mine Train-themed treat at Jolly Holiday, but recently we made our way back to check out the Parade Macaron! This macaron is $5.99 and is a yellow macaron filled with honey buttercream and lemon curd, topped with rainbow sprinkles and a Main Street Electrical Parade drum decoration! Parade Macaron from Jolly Holiday This macaron was very sweet! Between the honey buttercream, the sprinkles, and the macaron cookies themselves, there was enough sugar to power the Main Street Electrical Parade! Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but you get what we mean! Macaron The good thing is that the lemon curd did a great job of cutting through some of the sweetness with a strong, fresh citrus taste. The lemon was definitely essential, and paired well with everything else in this macaron. So citrus-y! If you’re a fan of citrus and macarons, then make sure you head over to Jolly Holiday to give this treat a try. Want to make things even sweeter? Grab this treat and eat it while watching the Main Street Electrical Parade and its new finale! So Much Fun! Check back here often for the latest Disney news!

Disney California Adventure has gone through quite a transformation in recent years with the addition of Marvel’s Avengers Campus! Welcome to Avengers Campus! It officially opened in June 2021 and has been entertaining Disney and Marvel fans alike ever since. From incredibly themed attractions and dining locations to some of the coolest Marvel characters, Avengers Campus has it all. We recently checked out a NEW snack over at Terran Treats in Avengers Campus, but was it as out-of-this-world as we were hoping it would be? Let’s find out! Terran Treats is a quick-service location in Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus that serves up churro spirals and cosmic orbs (cream puffs). Terran Treats We recently stopped by to check out their seasonal offering, the Raspberry Spiral Ration! Churro and Orb Offerings This is a yellow spiral churro that is described as being “like a Terran raspberry churro.” Sweet Spiral Ration Unfortunatly, while the churro looked good, it lacked in the flavor department. It was served REALLY hot, almost too hot. And it was a little over-cooked in our opinion. Our Churro It was really crunchy, but not in a good way. With a churro, you certainly want some crunch on the outside, but then you want that sweet, softer, tasty goodness on the inside. Unfortunately, this one was mostly just CRUNCH. And there was hardly any raspberry flavor. Not Quite What We Expected All in all, it wasn’t really a “win” for us and isn’t something we’d get again. Maybe we got a bad batch though, you never know. But it won’t be on our must-get list. If you want to try it, head on over to Terran Treats! For the latest Disney snack news and more, be sure to stay tuned to DFB!
