Disneyland Resort is also excited to partake in all the Halfway to Halloween fun! While we plan to share more details about our Halloween season later this year, we still have some fun surprises to share with you today. Let’s dive right in!View the full article

Disney World has a new Annual Pass system, and we’re here to help you decide if becoming a passholder will save you money! Annual Pass The passes can be expensive, and they might not even be worth it if you won’t use them often enough. So today we’re taking a look at how many times you need to go to Disney World in a year to break even on your Annual Pass. Right now, Disney World has suspended the sales of most annual passes. If you are a Florida resident, there is one you can still purchase, but you’ll need to be sure its limitations work for you. Read on, so you will know which pass you want to buy when sales resume! Disney Incredi-Pass Let’s start off with the big one! The Disney Incredi-Pass is the most expensive Annual Pass of the four and features the most perks. It’s also the only option if you’re not a Florida resident or DVC member. With the Incredi-Pass, you can use your pass every day of the year with no block-out dates. Each of the other passes has certain block-out dates (which means passholders cannot visit the parks using their Annual Pass on those days), so this is a big benefit. ©Disney Remember that Annual Passholders still need to have Park Pass Reservations if they want to enter a park. The reservations are free to make, and Incredi-Pass holders can have up to 5 park reservations at any given time. EPCOT Entrance Other benefits include free parking and discounts on dining, merchandise, and more in the parks and hotels. Disney Merchandise On average, Disney World Park Hopper tickets cost about $108 per day if you buy tickets five days at a time since prices for Disney World tickets decrease when you buy them in bulk. We chose 5 days at a time because Incredi-Pass holders can hold 5 park reservations at a time. ©Disney At $108 per day, you would need to visit Disney World for about 12 days each year to make the price of $1,299 break even. So if you’re planning on visiting Disney World for 12 days or more total in a year, this pass would be worth it! The Incredi-Pass is available to anyone, just note that the monthly payment option is only available to Florida residents. Click here to see the pros and cons of the new Annual Pass system Disney Sorcerer Pass The Sorcerer Pass is the second most expensive pass and is available only to DVC members and Florida Residents. It features 5 park reservations at any given time (like the Incredi-Pass), free parking, and discounts on dining, souvenirs, and more. ©Disney Unlike the Incredi-Pass, this pass does have block-out dates. All of the block-out dates for the Sorcerer pass are around the holiday season. For 2022, these dates are November 23rd through the 26th and December 17th through the 31st. If you buy this Annual Pass and want to visit during those dates, you would need to buy separate tickets. ©Disney With the Sorcerer Pass, you can hold up to 5 park reservations, so we’ll continue to compare ticket prices using Park Hopper tickets bought 5 at a time. Like we mentioned before, Park Hopper tickets average about $108 per day right now if you buy tickets for 5 days at the same time. That would mean you need to visit the parks for about 8 days in a year to make the $899 price tag worth it. Annual Pass If you think you’ll spend 8 days or more in Disney World in a year and you live in Florida (or are a DVC member), this might be the best pass for you! Other passes are less expensive, but they’ll also have more block-out dates. Click here to see an in-depth look at the block-out dates for the Annual Pass! Disney Pirate Pass The Disney Pirate Pass is the third most expensive pass and is only available to Florida Residents. This pass allows holders to have 4 park reservations at any given time, and it also offers free parking and discounts on dining, merchandise, and more. There are some block-out dates for this pass at peak times and around some holidays. ©Disney Note that this pass has quite a few more block-out dates than the Sorcerer Pass has. Where the Sorcerer Pass only had block-out dates around Thanksgiving and Christmas, there are several weekends through the year that are unavailable to Pirate Passholders. These dates include around the holidays, for a few weekends in the summer and fall, and for half of April 2023. ©Disney If you want to visit during the block-out dates and you have a Pirate Pass, you’ll have to pay for a separate ticket. ©Disney With the Pirate Pass, you can hold up to 4 park reservations, so we’ll be looking at the cost of buying 4 Park Hopper tickets at one time. These tickets cost $127 per day (note that they are more expensive than buying Park Hopper for 5 days at once since Disney reduces the per-day price when you add more days). At this cost, you need to visit for about 5 to 6 days in a year before you break even on the $699 price of the Pirate Pass. Annual Passholder Entrance Sign With many weekends still open and most weekdays available, this could be a good option for Florida residents. If you’ll spend a week or more total in Disney World in a year, the Pirate Pass is worth it. Click here to see how the prices for the new Annual Passes compare to the old ones! Disney Pixie Dust Pass The Disney Pixie Dust Pass is the least expensive annual pass of the bunch and is only available to Florida Residents. It is also the only Annual Pass you can buy right now. This pass allows holders to have 3 park reservations at any given time and also offers free parking, and discounts on dining, merchandise, and more! ©Disney Here’s the important thing to consider when buying this pass: You cannot use it on weekends. It will get you into the parks Monday through Friday only and has block-out dates during peak times and around holidays. If you’re able to visit the parks during the week, though, it might be worth it since this pass is the cheapest option at just $399 per year (plus tax). ©Disney With the Pixie Pass, you can hold up to 3 park reservations, so we’ll look at Park Hopper prices when buying 3 tickets at a time. Park Hopper tickets average about $131 right now if you buy tickets for 3 days. That means you only have to visit Disney World for about 3 days before you break even on the Pixie Pass. Make sure to use those discounts! Although the whole no-weekends thing might make it difficult to get your money’s worth with this pass if you work during the week, you only need to visit 3 times in a year in order to make the Pixie Pass worth it. Click here to see what Annual Pass options you have if you don’t live in Florida! Why It Might Take Even LESS Time You can make these passes worth the money even faster if you take advantage of all the perks you can get with the Annual Pass. If you go to the parks often, discounts on things like dining and merch that go as high as 20% should also be part of your calculations. You can get an Annual Passholder discount on lots of Disney merch! Plus, there are also exclusive deals for Annual Passholders looking to book a room at a Disney World Resort Hotel that could help make an Annual Pass worth it. Keep in mind that only one member of your party has to be an Annual Passholder for you to get the hotel, dining, and merchandise discounts. So, it may make sense for someone in your party to have a pass, even if you aren’t planning repeat trips. ©Disney Another big perk that comes with the Annual Pass is exclusive ride previews! Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members sometimes get to check out new rides BEFORE they open to the public. Passholders have been offered previews of the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster at EPCOT! Some Disney guests would consider this perk priceless. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind And there are some souvenirs and snacks that are ONLY available to Annual Passholders. You’ll have to show your pass to get access to these exclusive items, which might make the passes more valuable if you love to collect certain items. Annual Passholder drink in EPCOT You can add extras like water park admission and PhotoPass downloads to your Annual Pass. Keep in mind that those perks will only be worth what you pay for them if you use them, so think about whether you realistically will get your money’s worth before taking the add-ons that will up the price you’re paying for your annual pass. If you don’t plan on visiting Disney World’s water parks, you’ll probably want to skip that addition! Typhoon Lagoon For example, buying prints or digital downloads from PhotoPass costs $18.95 for 2 4×6 photos or 1 5×7 photo. Memory Maker (which gets you unlimited downloads of PhotoPass pictures) costs $69 per day. And the Annual Passholder option to add PhotoPass downloads to your pass costs $99 per year. PhotoPass Photographer So if you would normally buy more than 5 photos or would want Memory Maker for more than 1 day in a year, it would be worth it to add the PhotoPass option to your Annual Pass. Otherwise, you can skip that add-on! Disney PhotoPass photographers are the BEST! That’s how you can break even with a Disney World Annual Pass!

Disneyland shared a LOT of big news this morning about some upcoming projects, like a Pixar-themed makeover of Paradise Pier Hotel, a few new restaurants coming to Downtown Disney, and more. But if you didn’t read their announcement carefully, you might have missed one MAJOR update! Emporium This update might change how you shop for souvenirs during your upcoming Disneyland vacation, so take a look to make sure you’re prepared with the latest information. Before the pandemic closures, Disneyland and Disney World offered a free service called Merchandise Pick-up and Delivery. With this service, you could send your purchases back to your hotel as soon as you bought them! Instead of carrying a bag around the parks with you all day long, you could buy a souvenir, ask to have it delivered, and collect it once you arrived back at the hotel. Emporium on Main Street U.S.A. in Disneyland Merchandise Delivery hasn’t returned since the parks reopened in 2020, but now we’ve finally got an update on this convenient service! Disney has said that guests staying at Disneyland Resort hotels will once again be able to send “select theme park purchases” to their hotel for pick-up. Emporium This perk should return later this summer, although we don’t have a specific return date yet. Once delivery and pick-up are back, you’ll be able to shop as early in the day as you want without the worry that you’ll have to carry around your purchases all day. Send your purchases back to your hotel! Keep following DFB for more updates on the latest Disney news! Click here to learn about the new Pixar re-theme coming to Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel!

There has been a lot going on at Disneyland lately! We’ve seen new snacks, souvenirs, entertainment, and more. Disneyland Forever We also just found out that a popular Disneyland hotel will be getting a whole new theme, and now, there is MORE big hotel news! More benefits are coming for Disneyland hotel guests.

Disneyland is also currently constructing a walkway which will give Disney’s Parade Pier Hotel guests a convenient entrance to Disney California Adventure Park, like the one that Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa has right now.

An iconic land in Disneyland Park is undergoing some MAJOR changes. See ya soon! Last year, Disney announced that Mickey’s Toontown would be a getting a complete reimagining and it closed for the work soon after. We spotted some construction walls up around the area and now we have our first glimpse at the work going on INSIDE Toontown. This morning, as part of the BIG news announcements from Disneyland (including a hotel retheme and NEW restaurants), we also got to see a photo of the teams hard at work on transforming Toontown. ©Disney This crew is working to create new interactive experiences so that families can have more opportunities to play together in Disneyland. These new play experiences will vary between areas to active play, tactile play, and more — giving kids the chance to “play, slide, spin, splash, touch and listen.” Expect to see more open grassy areas too! The first area you’ll see when you walk into Toontown will be the new CenTOONial Park. ©Disney A new fountain is coming to the middle of Toontown that is designed for play and turns into a unique sight at night. We wonder what that will look like! Disney has also teased a new “dreaming tree” inspired by the tree Walt Disney would daydream under when he was younger in Marceline, Missouri. The tree will have sculpted roots that will give kids the chance to play, crawl, and explore. ©Disney And don’t forget the spot will be home to the new Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction — just like the one in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios! “Coming TOON!” Construction in Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland And on top of all of that, you’ll still be able to meet the characters you love and see the memorable Toontown hills in the distance. We’re pretty excited to see the changes. Keep an eye on DFB for all the latest updates! Click here to see more about the changes coming to Toontown! Want to Learn More About Disneyland?

Disneyland is going through a lot of changes right now, including a complete makeover of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland Park. But this area isn’t the only one that’ll see some major updates in the near future. Downtown Disney Disney has announced a few BIG changes and additions coming to Downtown Disney, the shopping and dining district near Disneyland. There will be new restaurants, innovative spaces, and more. Take a look at the concept art and check out the brand new restaurants here! The changes announced today will be coming to the west side of the Downtown Disney District. The renovations to this area started back in 2018, and now we’re finally getting an update on the new offerings that we’ll see when they’re completed! ©Disney Disney said they’re working on introducing “more innovative shopping, dining and entertainment experiences,” which will draw inspiration from “Southern California mid-century modern architecture.” Included in the area will be “an open lawn for relaxation and future events, and an even broader and diverse collection of dining and shopping.” ©Disney One of the new restaurants coming to the area is the world-renowned, family-owned Din Tai Fung. This spot is famous in other locations for soup dumplings, which are “hand-crafted right on sight.” ©Disney Disney has said that the Chinese restaurant will serve dishes family-style in “a creative space near our new lawn pavilion.” ©Disney But that’s not the only new spot coming to Downtown Disney. Chef Carlos Gaytan is creating a menu of Mexican cuisine for Paseo and Centrico, which will take over the building currently occupied by Catal & Uva Bar. The restaurant will also have a “courtyard bar and dining area.” Catal and UVA Bar And Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen is working on some major changes that will bring “a fresh approach to the menu, while staying true to the heart of New Orleans.” We can expect to see new menu items and renovations to both the inside and outside of the restaurant. ©Disney And for those who were devastated to see the sandwich shop Earl of Sandwich close earlier this year, you’ll have another chance to get these delicious sandwiches soon! Disney said that this restaurant will have “a special sandwich walk-up location.” But you’ll need to hurry once this spot opens because it’s only going to be available for a limited time.

We’ve seen a lot of shortages over the past several months, including in Disney World. Where are the bubble wands? There were shortages on noodles, cream cheese, lightsabers, and now even bubble wands. Inflation has also been an issue in Disney World and around the globe, and now, another shortage could have a major impact on prices. Indonesia is going to start restricting exports of palm oil starting on Thursday, April 28th. This could make the global food crisis worse and raise prices on hundreds of products, according to CNN. The president of Indonesia, Joko Widodo said last week that the country would suspend exports of cooking oil, and the raw materials used to make it until further notice. According to CNN, this is due to the country trying to “ensure the national availability of cooking oil” and help keep it affordable. People in Indonesia have struggled to get access to the oil as global prices were raised. ©DEDI SINUHAJI/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock via CNN Indonesia is the world’s biggest palm oil producer, so this could have a great effect on inflation and global food prices. It was reported by Bloomberg and Reuters that Indonesia would exempt crude palm oil from the restrictions, but they’re still expected to ban palm olein, which is a more processed product used for cooking oil, according to CNN. Palm olein makes up about 40-50% of Indonesian exports. Palm oil is a common ingredient in things like food, cosmetics, and household items. You can find palm oil in a lot of products, like instant noodles, peanut butter, cooking oil, baked goods, ice cream, lipstick, soaps, and more. According to the World Wildlife Fund, more than HALF of all packaged products Americans consume contain palm oil. When the ban takes effect, prices could be raised on these items. ©James Morgan / WWF-International Markets were already trying to find alternatives to sunflower oil stuck in Black Sea ports due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the droughts in South America and Canada have hurt supplies of soybean and canola oil. The world had been relying on palm oil from Indonesia to make up for the gap left by these disruptions, according to CNN. The ban comes at an especially bad time right now, with world food prices having jumped to their highest levels ever in March, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Its report said that “war in the Black Sea region spread shocks through markets for staple grains and vegetable oils.” ©WWF-US/Des Syafriza So, how could this affect places like Disney World? Well, food items that use palm oil right now could see an increase in price, but that is yet to be seen. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any changes due to this new restriction, so stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates.

It’s no surprise that with how complicated the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, it takes extreme forethought to ensure that everything goes according to plan. ©Marvel Studios But have you ever wondered just how far in advance the executives and creatives at Marvel begin planning out their films? We already know about upcoming titles like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder, but it sounds like the minds at Marvel are about to come together to discuss what the next DECADE holds in terms of Marvel Studios-produced films! According to Erik Davis (Fandango, Rotten Tomatoes) who is currently at CinemaCon, Marvel creatives are preparing for a retreat at which they “have the next decade of Marvel movies lined up.” The information comes directly from the mouth of Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, who said he was leaving CinemaCon to head to the creative retreat — but not before giving CinemaCon guests a look at the upcoming film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever which premieres later this year. Black Panther at Disney California Adventure Not much else was shared about the retreat or any of the movies that might be under discussion, but if the next ten years of Marvel films are anything like what 2022 promises to be, we have a lot to look forward to!

PhotoPass lenses and magic shots can take a regular amazing Disney photo to the next level. We’ve seen it time and time again, and we love them! A St. Patrick’s Day Magic Shot! Disney often will come out with new PhotoPass offerings to celebrate holidays, special events, and EPCOT festivals. To celebrate being almost Halfway to Halloween, Disney World just released 2 New PhotoPass offerings in two of the parks! Starting off in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a new PhotoPass lens that only works on Sunset Boulevard makes you feel like you’re back in 1939 on Halloween night! ©Disney Disney recommends you go far enough down Sunset Boulevard to hear the shrieks from the Tower of Terror. (Did you know those shrieks are pre-recorded? People on the ride aren’t actually that loud, even if you may feel like it when you’re screaming while dropping multiple stories!) This new PhotoPass lens is only available to guests through the My Disney Experience app who have purchased Genie+ for that day. In Magic Kingdom, another spooky ride has upgraded its onboard photos! ©Disney Now, each time you ride the Haunted Mansion with the grim-grinning ghosts, a different friend will follow you home in each ride photo! As a reminder, there is no place to tap your MagicBand at the end of this ride, so Disney suggests either having your phone’s Bluetooth on during the ride (with low power mode off) or wearing a MagicBand that’s already connected to your Disney account. Disney also shared that, ” This update at the Haunted Mansion is the first in our ongoing efforts to enhance onboard photos at some of your favorite Walt Disney World Resort attractions.” How exciting! We will keep you posted as Disney announced more on ride photo offerings! ©Disney We can’t wait to head into the parks and try out these new photos ASAP!
