As you may know, Walt Disney was fascinated with the life of Abraham Lincoln from an early age. It’s no wonder then, that our 16th president has had a home on Main Street U.S.A., in Disneyland park since 1965. Guests can experience an entertaining history lesson at the attraction “The Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.” Also housed within this building are tributes to inspirational American heroes. Taking its rightful place among these icons of history is a new installation honoring Frederick Douglass, the great leader in our nation’s fight against slavery. View the full article

Have you ever seen a Disney World dark ride with the lights on? Rise of the Resistance If you have, it might have completely changed your perspective on the ride! There’s a lot hiding in dark rides that we can’t see, but sometimes when rides break down and/or get evacuated, the lights will be turned on and you’ll get to see a whole new world. One of the most coveted rides to see with its lights on is Space Mountain — and we have a look for you! We hopped on the PeopleMover to take a ride around Tomorrowland (and check out the updated construction on TRON!) when we were surprised by a fully lit Space Mountain! Warning: these pictures might make you reconsider ever sticking your hands up on the ride again. Whoa! This doesn’t happen very often, so it’s pretty cool to see! What do you think? You would think one of the most popular rides in Disney World work look pretty fancy inside, right? Well, Space Mountain obviously doesn’t need to be, because you can barely see anything when you’re riding it! It’s just a LOT of metal framing and supports for the coaster track. Everything is pretty bare bones! We love bringing you unique views of things like this at Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Disney’s Magical Express is gone, which has left guests with a few different options for getting from the Orlando International Airport to Disney World. There are a couple of bus services (similar to Magical Express), including Mears Connect and Sunshine Flyer. Or you can choose to use rideshare or rent a car. But many guests are looking forward to the proposed high-speed train that will take people straight from the airport to a stop in Disney Springs! ©Brightline This train has been in the works for a while now, with several updates about the possible routes, the vehicles themselves, and the construction progress. The project has hit a few bumps along the way, and its completion date has been pushed back by a few years. But now we’ve got a new update on this train’s progress! One of the biggest hurdles to be overcome before the Brightline train could begin taking passengers from the Orlando International Airport to Disney World was choosing which route the train should run. Brightline had one preferred route (near State Road 417), but several other entities preferred the I-Drive route, which was estimated to cost up to $1 billion more than the State Road 417 route. Potential Routes ©Brightline | Obtained via the Orlando Sentinel Some organizations preferred the I-Drive route because it would pass through more tourism-heavy areas, and Universal Orlando especially pushed for this route as it would run near their upcoming Epic Universe theme park. This would allow Universal guests to utilize the train as well. Universal Parks – Epic Universe ©Universal Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said that the two competing ideas led to “a lot of yelling and screaming in those initial meetings.” The disagreement led to an indefinite delay in the decision, but progress was finally made when both sides seemed to agree on a new solution: the “Sunshine Corridor Program.” This program (potentially funded by the 2021 Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act) would mean that Brightline would lease a corridor of tracks from the existing SunRail commuter train system, and the 2 trains would share the pathway. ©Brightline The route would go from the airport through the Orange County Convention center and down South International Drive to Disney World. From there, Brightline would build its own tracks from Disney World on to Tampa. Map Overlaid ©Brightline| Orlando Business Journal | Map4News But, we already knew all that. So what’s the new update? According to the Orlando Business Journal, Universal Orlando and other partners have “pledged to donate 13 acres and money for an Orange County Convention Center-area train station that would be used by SunRail and Brightline.” The Orlando Sentinel reported that about $125 million was promised for the station’s construction. Universal Orlando Universal and other International Drive partners have also guaranteed $13 million annually in ticket sales from this station, and they have committed to giving $2 million annually for maintenance of the station. The station would be built on land owned by Universal along Destination Parkway. This was all proposed during a workshop on May 5th after the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission meeting. ©Brightline Although the 2021 Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (a $1.2 trillion federal infrastructure bill that focuses on highways and public transportation) could be essential for this project, Mayor Dyer has said that “the disclosure of Universal’s willingness to add money to an east-west expansion is a significant boost. The theme-park company’s investment alone could amount to the needed local match for federal grants” (Orlando Sentinel). ©Brightline More funding could come from a proposed “penny sales tax increase,” in Orange County, which will be voted on in November. This tax would go to transportation improvements in the county. Mayor Dyer has said that “the proposal [for the Brightline train to Disney World] is not nearly as far along as you may think,” according to the Orlando Business Journal. Future steps will include applying for federal grant funding and researching potential ridership for the new trains.

That’s when this portable luggage scale might come in handy. ©Amazon You can get one for just $11 on Amazon.

Picture this — it’s 12:30PM and you’re wandering around a Disney World park, trying to find something to eat that’s 1. nearby 2. actually tasty and 3. not ridiculously expensive or time consuming. We’ve totally been there before! Luckily, we can help you out. Hollywood Studios There are a bunch of places to eat in Disney World, but some are much better than others (and we’ve tried them ALL, so we would know!). We’ve got some tried and true dining spots that almost never let us down, so let’s talk about some restaurants that you should definitely check out for lunch while you’re in Disney World! Satu’li Canteen Over in Animal Kingdom, in the land of Pandora, you’ll find Satu’li Canteen! This Quick Service spot specializes in food that you wouldn’t really consider your typical theme park fare. You can create your own bowl, starting with a base like rice and beans or noodles and then add a protein, sauce, and customize toppings. Satu’li Canteen If you don’t want a bowl, there are also those DELICIOUS cheeseburger pods that we absolutely love. They’re similar to bao buns, but they’re stuffed with cheeseburger filling (just trust us on this one!). The atmosphere is pretty cool in here as well, and there’s a bunch of seating either inside or outside, both out of the sun and a great place to cool down. A feast! Satu’li Canteen is relatively healthy and it’s super filling, so it will help you go about your theme park with a ton of energy! It’s also not greasy or heavy, so you won’t feel weighed down. Click here to see our recent review of Satu’li Canteen! Steakhouse 71 One of the newer spots at Disney World is Steakhouse 71 over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. It took the place of The Wave and is a steakhouse, but it has a bunch of other options as well! It also serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and has a bar and lounge area. Steakhouse 71 Now, we’re not suggesting you go here for lunch and eat an entire steak (although you do you!), but this one is on the list for that absolutely outstanding Steakhouse 71 Stack Burger on the menu! It’s like the diner burger of your dreams. It’s quite possibly one of the best burgers we’ve had at Disney World! Steakhouse 71 Stack Burger They also have sandwiches, soups, and salads on the menu, as well as some awesome sides like the onion rings! Plus, the Contemporary is only a short walk away from Magic Kingdom, so this is a great place to go to take a break from the crowds and grab a bite to eat. Click here to check out our Steakhouse 71 lunch review! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie Les Halles is in EPCOT’s France pavilion, and it’s a Quick Service bakery that has both sweet and savory items, like pastries, fresh sandwiches, and more. You can get items like the Jambon Beurre, which is Ham, Cheese, and Dijon Mustard Butter on a Demi Baguette, or a classic Pain au Chocolat (chocolate croissant). Les Halles There are both breakfast and lunch items here, as well as dessert, and breakfast is served all day so you can even eat it for lunch! Les Halles is a great place to grab a bite while walking around the World Showcase, or grab several items to share with people in your group. Click here to see 21 reviews of Les Halles! Ronto Roasters In Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios, you can find Ronto Roasters! This place is home to one of our ALL-TIME favorite foods in Disney World — the Ronto Wrap! There are different versions of the wrap, but the classic is Roasted Pork, Grilled Pork Sausage, Peppercorn Sauce, and Tangy Slaw wrapped in Pita Bread. Ronto Wrap It’s just such a filling and satisfying food, and it’s very tasty. Plus, there’s a plant-based option, too! Zuchii Wrap We actually would recommend going here over any other place to eat in Galaxy’s Edge (sorry, Docking Bay 7!), because it’s that good. Do note that after 3PM though, the Ronto Wrap moves over to Docking Bay 7 for the rest of the day because Ronto Roasters closes! Click here to see our review of the Ronto Wrap! Skipper Canteen Back over in Magic Kingdom is a Table Service restaurant that you should definitely snag a lunch reservation for if you can (although sometimes the walk-up list is available!) — Skipper Canteen! Located in Adventureland, this restaurant is a continuation of the Jungle Cruise theme, and your waiters are actually Skippers! There’s so much to see inside this restaurant! The waiters are absolutely hilarious with their same witty humor from the ride, and there’s also delicious food and a really cool atmosphere. Skipper Canteen has more unique food options for people who are slightly more adventurous eaters, like Sustainable Fish, Curried Vegetable Crew Stew, and “Hardy Har Char” Siu Pork. Plus, don’t forget to ask about the secret menu so you can try the absolutely delicious Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread!). Skipper Canteen Eats Even though this is a Table Service restaurant, the service is usually pretty quick, so it won’t be a whole afternoon affair. Plus, you can discover some Disney secrets in here if you look close enough! Click here to see our review of Skipper Canteen! Chicken Guy! So, what if you’re not actually in the theme parks, but you’re over at Disney Springs! Don’t worry, there’s a bunch of options over there as well, including Chicken Guy! Chicken Guy! is Chef Guy Fieri’s restaurant that specializes in chicken tenders and special sauces. If you’re going to have chicken tenders in Disney World, this is where you should get them! Lots of options at Chicken Guy! The thing that takes this place to the next level is the sauces — there are over 20 sauces to choose from, like Curry Mayo, Buffalo, and Donkey Sauce. They also have grilled tenders that you can get, as well as sandwiches and some awesome sides like Fried Pickle Chips and the Mac Daddy Mac ‘N’ Cheese. Drooooool This place is also super budget friendly and very fast since it’s Quick Service! It’s a great spot to grab some lunch in between the shopping at Disney Springs. Click here to see our Chicken Guy! review Spice Road Table Spice Road Table is super underrated, so we’re here to hype it up! It’s located over in EPCOT’s Morocco pavilion and it’s on the water, making it a lunch spot with beautiful views of the World Showcase Lagoon. It doesn’t take reservations, so it’s first come, first serve, but it’s not as busy as some of the other spots in EPCOT! Spice Road Table spread You can enjoy small plates like Hummus Fries, Stuffed Grape Leaves, Spiced Chicken, and more. Don’t expect big portions here, but it’s perfect for ordering a bunch of small plates to share with your group, especially if you love Mediterranean food or want a break from burgers and fries. Click here to see our review of Spice Road Table! Columbia Harbour House Finishing off our list back in Magic Kingdom, we have Columbia Harbour House! This is a Quick Service spot that serves New England-inspired surf-and-turf in Liberty Square. The full spread at Columbia Harbour House! You can get platters with things like fried fish and shrimp, but there is also a very popular Lobster Roll over here! Give us everything fried, please There is also Clam Chowder, Grilled Salmon, and Hush Puppies that you can chow down on. And don’t worry, if you have a picky eater in the group (or are one yourself!) they also have chicken tenders and French fries! This spot has seating inside for you to escape the crowds and cool down along with a fun nautical theme. It’s a great lunch spot! Click here to see our review of Columbia Harbour House! There you have it — a bunch of our favorite lunch spots in Disney World! There’s a little something for everyone, so you should be able something that fits into your Disney vacation.

Greetings from EPCOT! EPCOT We’re just a few short weeks away from the official opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind on May 27th, and we’ve been waiting for every little detail we could get about the ride — from costuming to ride tech to the merch! And now, we’re giving you a first look at all the merchandise available in the Treasures of Xandar Gift Shop! Treasures of Xandar is the newest gift shop to join EPCOT’s impressive shopping lineup, and it’s home to all the Xandarian goodies The Broker has decided to share with us! Treasures of Xandar The Xandarians actually hired The Broker to run this shop and it has a variety of product lines. These are some of the collections you’ll find: Heroes of Xandar Collection — What if the Guardians were rock stars? This collection will be “[i]nspired by vintage concert merchandise of the 1980s,” and will imagine “all of the gear and memorabilia fans would collect during the Guardians’ fictional intergalactic tour.” The Guardians of the Galaxy: Through the Eyes of Quill Collection — This collection will be a “bold and colorful line celebrating Peter Quill’s childhood visit to EPCOT.” It will really have a vintage feel with “retro silhouettes and graphic designs evoking decades past.” Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind – Honorary Guardians Collection — This collection will help guests of all ages show off their new hero status after riding the ride and, you know, saving the galaxy! According to Disney, “Honorary Guardians will be distinguished in their rank through the official Honorary Guardian colors of navy and gold paired with the Honorary Guardian emblem, which is proudly displayed on each item in the collection.” Groot Through the Years Collection — This collection “celebrates the sentient tree-like creature and his journey to becoming a defender of the galaxy.” The collection will have “toys, home décor and children’s apparel” that will show “Groot’s evolution from baby to adolescent to adult.” Let’s take a look at the items!

If you consider yourself to be a Disney parks expert, get READY. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind A BRAND new ride has hit the scene — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — and it’s brought a whole bunch of new details with it. From an epic soundtrack to appearances from celebrities, there’s a lot of big things to love. But what about those little details and fun easter eggs? Oh yeah, this ride is LOADED with those too! Here’s just a sampling of some of our very favorite ones you’ve GOT to look for when you get the chance to save the galaxy. WARNING! This post contains spoilers about the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride. If you’re looking to stay spoiler-free, you’ll want to head to our spoiler-free review and bookmark this page to come back to on a later date. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Basics Before we dive into the easter eggs, we just wanted to give you a quick rundown on the Guardians of the Galaxy Ride. The coaster (which is actually one of the LONGEST indoor roller coasters ever built) puts you right at the center of a Guardians of the Galaxy adventure where you have to save the galaxy…again! ©Disney You’ll start your adventure by going through the Galaxarium. That’s a planatarium-like exhibit. There, you’ll get the chance to learn a bit about the differences and similarities between Xandar and Earth. Then you’ll get to learn about some of the wonders of Xander, their technology, and more throughout other parts of the queue. Part of the Queue Just as your tour is about to come to an end, things get…interesting. Turns out an evil villain, a Celestial named Eson the Searcher, has been watching earth for a while and wants to “right a wrong in a big way.” Eson It’s up to you and the Guardians of the Galaxy to go on an urgent mission to save the world! Wait…What?! The coaster has a reverse launch, uses an omnicoaster system, and has lots more to enjoy. Recently, we got to experience the ride during a media preview event. It will officially be open on May 27th, 2022. For more details on the ride, check out our FULL posts below: PHOTOS & VIDEOS: We rode Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — Go inside with us! Get a first look at the queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Check out our SPOILER FREE review of the ride Will Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind make you BARF? What you need to know But, enough about the big stuff — let’s get into the little things — the Easter Eggs! Easter Eggs! 1 — EPCOT Throwback During the “Good Morning Xandar” pre-show portion in the ride queue (this is located in the Xandar Gallery), Star-Lord reminisces on EPCOT of the past. Listen carefully and you’ll hear Star-Lord (also known as Peter Quill, played by Chris Pratt) talk about how excited he is to visit classic EPCOT from the 1980s! Star-Lord loves EPCOT! He references several defunct EPCOT attractions, including Horizons, Universe of Energy, and the “Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit” song from Kitchen Kabaret. He may be in for some disappointment. Who is going to break it to him? Get a FIRST LOOK at the queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind right here! 2 — Walt Disney and Progress City Also in the queue, you can catch a glimpse of Walt Disney with an original schematic for Progress City. Walt Disney You’ll also find a Xandarian City model in the queue which takes some inspiration from Disney’s Progress City model. Some of the Model You can actually see a model of Progress City if you take a ride on the PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom! Will Guardians of the Galaxy make you BARF? Find out here. 3 — Hidden Mickey There’s also a hidden Mickey in the Xandarian City model! You may need some eagle eyes to find it. Xandarian City Model There it is! Look behind some of the skyscrapers to find the blue hidden Mickey. There it is! If you find any more hidden Mickeys once the ride officially opens, let us know! Get a look inside the Guardians of the Galaxy gift shop here! 4 — Maelstrom Reference In the queue, there was also a reference to Maelstrom, the dark ride in the Norway pavilion that was closed and replaced by Frozen Ever After. It appears as an “energy schematic.” Maelstrom! Maelstrom closed a number of years ago and it’s still missed by many EPCOT fans, so this is a tribute we think quite a few people will be pleased to see! Why you might not be able to ride Cosmic Rewind on opening day. 5 — Universe of Energy Reference We noticed some throwbacks to the Universe of Energy pavilion and Ellen’s Energy Adventure, like on this column in the ride. The top left says Ellen, the top right says Alex, the bottom left says E=MC squared, and the bottom right says dino. Can you see it? In case you didn’t know, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is now housed in the building that was once the Universe of Energy pavilion and Ellen’s Energy Adventure. What a fitting tribute! Get a SPOILER-FREE look at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind here! 6 — Universe of Energy Theme Song You can also hear a bit of what sounds like an electric guitar version of the old Universe of Energy theme song as the Guardians “fly” into space. Listen for when the Celestial says “What is that noise?” at around 18 seconds and you’ll hear it! Anyone else singing, “Feel the flow, here we go, through the Universe of Energy…” Click here to read more about the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind virtual QUEUE in EPCOT. 7 — Schematics — XYX Axis After the second pre-show, you get a look at the ship schematics, and you might be able to spot some fun references! Ship Schematics On the bottom right you can see the Universe of Energy symbol… Universe of Energy symbol …and this is the partial Xandarian alphabet! See it? We kinda want to learn Xandarian now! Here’s how pay-per-ride will work for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! 8 — Script changes At the end of your ride, there’s a part during which the Guardians welcome you back to EPCOT. So far, we know about a few different scripts you may hear while the Guardians are talking to each other! During one version you might hear them say, “Welcome to EPCOAT.” And a response: “I think it’s EPCOT.” Or you might hear them note “Welcome to EPCOT.” With one asking, “Is that even a word?” And then the perfect response “Yeah! It means every person comes out tired.” Guardians queue That’s a look at some of the very BEST easter eggs in Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!

Disney World sometimes goes ALL out on themed snacks, and we are here for it! Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort We’ve seen some snacks that are truly unique not only in their presentation but also in their taste. We’ve also seen some fun snacks based on Disney+ shows in the past. But now we’ve got a new snack that’s taking us directly into the multiverse! The next big Marvel movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has its official release day on May 6th, but is available for many fans to go watch in the theaters now. Disney is celebrating this big release with…cheesecake? Yes, we found the Cherry Cheesecake of Madness (serious props to Disney for that name) at Disney’s All-Star Resorts and HAD to try it out. Just look at it! It’s got Doctor Strange right there on top of it! Doctor Strange literally on a cupcake These cheesecake has a LOT going on. It’s a Cherry cheesecake on a layer of chocolate cake covered in a Cherry & chocolate glace with wafer shard pieces and it’s filled with a Cherry compote. It’s cherry madness — get it? The cake itself did NOT disappoint — it was moist and tasty! The cheesecake was a good blend of cream cheese and cherry flavors. The multiverse…in a cherry cheesecake We also loved how the middle of the dessert was cold, which was PERFECT for a hot day. But the standout for us was the cherry compote! It had WHOLE cherries in it that were tart. That balanced the sweetness of the chocolate and cheesecake perfectly. Those shards are a little stale HOWEVER, we did find the wafer pieces around the outside to be VERY stale and hard. We liked the effect they had in terms of design, but wish they had been more fresh. We’ll also say that the cherry flavor in the cheesecake was a bit more artificial compared to the cherry compote, so that didn’t quite blend well. This dessert, though, is a must for those who love cherry and chocolate flavors (especially fans of cherry cheesecake), as well as Doctor Strange fans. If you like cheesecake and fruit but like your fruit toppings to be on TOP of the cheesecake, beware — the cherry is mixed INTO the cheesecake in terms of flavor, so you might not love that. Those delicious cherries If you’d like to step into the multiverse of cheesecake yourself, you can find this snack right now at the food courts at Disney’s All-Star Resorts for $6.49. We’ll keep an eye out for more Doctor Strange-inspired snacks at Disney World, so stay tuned! Learn the Mystic Arts With Doctor Strange in Disney’s Avengers Campus! Watch Our Video Now!

It’s a new month in Disney World which means we’re getting all sorts of fun new treats and snacks to celebrate the month of May! Not only that, but we’re also celebrating Star Wars Day, Mother’s Day, and Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Basically, there’s a TON of new stuff to try. Disney Springs Today, we’re heading over to Disney Springs to try a limited edition cocktail for the month of May. You might have known there was a Coca-Cola Store in Disney Springs, but did you know that Coca-Cola Store comes with a Rooftop Bar? We’re heading up to that bar today to try the May Drink of the Month: the Summer Strawberry Lemonade. This cocktail is made of Minute Maid Lemonade, Tito’s Vodka, elderflower syrup, strawberry syrup, and muddled strawberries, and it is BEAUTIFUL. Look how PRETTY! All of the different syrups plus the muddled strawberries make for a gorgeous ombre effect in the drink. Plus, with the addition of the lemon and a little umbrella…this drink is pretty much summer in a cup! Summer in a cup! And that’s all well and good, but how does this drink TASTE? We thought it was very refreshing and a good alcoholic strawberry lemonade. The strawberry and elderflower syrups really cut the taste of the alcohol, so much so that it ends up being a little lacking in the flavor department. It might sound strange, but while you can taste all of the flavors and ingredients in the drink, when they all come together it just seems a little…dull. It left us feeling a little conflicted or confused — it wasn’t bad, but the mixing of flavors just made the drink weirdly dull. When the flavors come together, they seem to be a little dull. This drink would be perfect for someone who wants a refreshing vodka lemonade without a super strong taste of vodka. People who prefer stronger alcoholic beverages might want to choose something else. Overall, this drink is good for what it is, but nothing mind-blowing. The Summer Strawberry Lemonade is available for $16.04 at the Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar. If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option, this drink is available as a mocktail, as well! We’ll be reviewing many more food items this month, so make sure to stay tuned to DFB for all the latest! Click here to see the top 3 things Disney guests say you should pack for Disney World!

Disney is celebrating Mother’s Day this week, and just like any other holiday, they’re going all out — especially when it comes to food! We love to try specialty food items, and have recently eaten a Millennium Falcon Sundae for Star Wars Day, a strawberry dressed up as a carrot for Easter, and even a St. Patrick’s Day whoopie pie! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Now, we’re heading over to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort to try a limited time Mother’s Day treat! Today, we tried the Strawberry Bliss Cupcake from Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. The Strawberry Bliss Cupcake is a yellow cupcake filled with strawberry boba topped with strawberry buttercream and white vanilla wafers with white chocolate and nonpareils. We’ll give it some credit — it is pretty (and very pink). It’s pretty! Y’all — this thing was SWEET — TOO sweet. We also felt like the strawberry flavors tasted very artificial, which just made this one WAY too much, especially with the nonpareils. It is Cute Though There’s enough of a sugary flavor here to make our teeth ache! So let’s just say that we didn’t find a lot of bliss in this snack. It’s sweet — TOO sweet The one thing we DID like, though, was the yellow cake — it was moist and didn’t taste too sweet, but it wasn’t enough to balance out the rest of the cupcake’s overpowering flavors (at least in our opinion). TOO sweet! Here’s the thing, though — kids will probably love this cupcake for the very reason we didn’t like it. So if you’ve got a kid interested in trying it out or if you’ve got a GIANT sweet tooth, we say go for it! This cupcake is available at Landscape of Flavors only until May 11th for $5.79.

We just celebrated May the 4th in Disney World with new merchandise, tasty treats, and some galactic surprises, but now there’s another holiday to celebrate! Do you know what day it is? It’s Cinco de Mayo! There’s not as much going on in Disney World for the holiday compared to Star Wars Day, but we DID find a new treat that we just had to try out — so let’s go! This is the Cinco de Oh-My-O Donut (clever, right?) from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew at Disney Springs! Doesn’t this look tasty?! It’s a flaky croissant dough sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and topped with buttercream, crushed Heath Bar, and drizzles of caramel & chocolate icing — YUM! We can’t wait to dig in Oh, and there’s also a cute little churro on top! Tiny churro!! This very much tastes like if a churro was a cronut (you know, the croissant donuts)! The best of both worlds, right? The soft buttercream on top combined with the crunchy candy added some great contrasting texture. Flakiness galore It was very sweet though, which could be a little overwhelming if you tried to eat the whole thing yourself. We’d recommend sharing this one with someone else, especially because it’s pretty big! You’ll probably want to share! This is definitely an over-the-top treat in both size and sweetness, so it’s great if you’re looking for a filling dessert or something to split with a friend. But, if you’re looking for something sweet that’s light and refreshing, this is not the one you should go for — go get a Dole Whip instead! This donut won’t be there for long! If you want to try it out for yourself, head on over to Everglazed at Disney Springs. But, you’re gonna have to hurry, because this is a limited-edition item, so it won’t last long!

Mother’s Day is almost here: have you figured out what gift to get for your mom yet? Disney celebrates BIG for many holidays, especially when it comes to food, and Mother’s Day is no exception. We’ve already got a full list of everything coming to Disney World AND Disneyland for Mother’s Day, and we can’t wait to try it all! Let’s celebrate Mother’s Day Today, we’re heading over to Disney’s All-Star Resorts to try a limited-time Mother’s Day treat. We’re trying the aptly (if not creatively) named Mother’s Day Dessert. But don’t let that boring name deceive you — the treat tastes a lot more interesting than it sounds! It can be found at the Intermission Food Court at All-Star Music Resort, the End Zone Food Court at All-Star Sports Resort, and at the World Premiere Food Court at All-Star Movies Resort. Intermission Food Court This dessert is Strawberry Mousse with Strawberry Compote and Lemon Curd. It’s decorated with a Passion Fruit Candy Crisp on top. Disney loves a mousse dessert for special occasions, so we’re not very surprised to see more mousse here. Mother’s Day Dessert In general, this dessert is very light and refreshing. It’s great for a warm day when you might not feel like eating a heavy treat. The bright, fruity flavors are delicious, and the mousse was delicate, fluffy, and smooth. Light and refreshing! The strawberry flavor is very sweet in the mousse, but the lemon curd’s tartness balances it out. We were a little worried that the dessert would taste like artificial fruit flavoring, but the strawberry compote in the middle was so fresh that it prevented any artificialness. That compote really took this treat to the next level. Inside Although we really enjoyed this treat, you might want to pass on it if you’re not a big fan of strawberries. Between the mousse and the compote, it’s very strawberry forward. And if you’re hoping for a more filling treat, this might not be the best option either. We’d recommend finding something chocolatey or caramel-y instead in that case. The compote is very fresh! The Mother’s Day Dessert is $5.99 and can be found at each of the All Star Resort’s food courts! The All-Star Resorts are pretty tough to get to if you’re not staying there, because they’re only accessible by bus or car. So if you’re not a guest at one of these hotels, keep in mind that the treat might not be worth the travel time. End Zone Food Court The dessert is only available until May 11th, so you’d better act fast if you do want to grab one. We’ll be reviewing more Mother’s Day treats in Disney World, so make sure to stay tuned to DFB for all the latest!

If you’ve been to EPCOT within the past few years, you’ve probably noticed that a big transformation is taking place. Or, you’ve at least noticed all of the construction! Journey of Water construction The transformation is still in progress and probably will be for some time by the looks of it. Some projects have been completed, like Connections Cafe & Eatery and Club Cool, while others remain a work in progress, like the Moana attraction. We recently got major news from Disney about NEW parts of the transformation as well as some updates on projects still in progress — but we still didn’t get any updates on one BIG part of the transformation. Back in 2019, it was announced that Spaceship Earth would be undergoing refurbishment as part of EPCOT’s big transformation. Disney said they would be bringing “new magic” into the attraction featuring great moments of human history along with a focus on storytelling rather than inventions and technology. ©Disney || Concept art Disney said a lot of the scenes in the ride would remain but be brought to life in new ways…whatever that means! They also talked about adding new scenes, story elements, AND narration (we really didn’t — and still don’t — want to say goodbye to Dame Judy Dench!). Spaceship Earth Spaceship Earth was supposed to shut down in May of 2020, but we all know how the spring of 2020 went — Disney World as a whole shut down due to the global pandemic. The closure postponed the planned refurbishment of Spaceship Earth, as it did many other construction projects around Disney World. Spaceship Earth Entrance But, unlike the construction projects that started up again as the pandemic went on, Disney made the decision to postpone the development of the Spaceship Earth refurbishment. Spaceship Earth at night With the word “postpone,” you would think Disney would give an update about Spaceship Earth at some point but…it’s been completely silent. Crickets. We’ve got nothin! Is the project still happening? Is it completely canceled? Will it be reevaluated in 5 years? These are all great questions, but unfortunately, Disney hasn’t said anything. Spaceship Earth We hoped that with all the other announcements made today about the EPCOT Transformation, Disney might give us just a little indication about the future of the attraction. But, it looks like we’re going to have to keep waiting and wondering. We’d love to know what’s going on! We’ll absolutely let you know if and when Disney says anything about Spaceship Earth’s refurbishment! Stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates on the EPCOT Transformation.
