If you’re reading this, we can almost guarantee that you like saving money when you travel. I mean, who doesn’t?! One of the best ways to do that is to book with a budget airline to save money on travel. Orlando International Airport There are several great budget options out there, and recently, there has been a stir in the world of budget airlines as Frontier Airlines seeks to purchase and merge with Spirit Airlines. The potential merger was made more complicated when JetBlue stepped up and ALSO made a sizable offer. So what’s going to happen? Well, the CEO of Frontier has some thoughts. According to Click Orlando, Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle recently had an interview with Associated Press where he discussed the possible merger. Currently, the biggest obstacle to the merger is JetBlue’s $3.6 billion bid for Spirit Airlines (which is higher than Frontier’s $2.9 billion offer). Biffle wasn’t available for comment after JetBlue’s announcement, but he did address some of the other problems facing the merger a few days prior. ©Frontier Airline In the interview, Biffle noted that Frontier Airlines will likely be back to profitability by summer 2022, but made comments about how difficult it is to schedule flights currently with unpredictable demand throughout the spring and summer. When asked about the Spirit merger, including any information on the new airline, the headquarters location, or the management team, Biffle said “No, we’re not planning to announce any of that before July. It’s going to take some time to look through these things and come to the right conclusion.” ©Spirit Airlines The interview went on to ask Biffle about where the future of the airline will stand in five to ten years, and he replied “In a few years, I think we’ll have nationwide notoriety as the place to go for low fares and best value.” Biffle also went on to note that this merger will be beneficial for the economy and for the shareholders as “Over a five-year period, both airlines were going to roughly double in size.” Seats on Spirit Airlines We’ll be on the lookout for any comments on the JetBlue offer from Frontier Airlines, or any updates on the merger that may effect your travel plans.

Things at Disney World might be magical and fun, but they’re not always perfect. EPCOT Technical difficulties, a fire, and other issues can impact Disney rides and parks, ultimately leading to evacuations or temporary closures. We’ve been evacuated from our fair share of Disney spots in the past, and today we got to experience another evacuation in EPCOT. During our time in EPCOT today, we experienced an evacuation from the Mexico pavilion. The evacuation occurred around 11:10 AM this morning. As of 11:45 AM, the ride was still showing as “temporarily unavailable.” ©Disney We’ll continue to look for more information and share those details with you. Stay tuned for more Disney news!

If you’re planning on flying to Disney World this summer, you’re going to want to be PREPARED. Prepared for what you ask? Well, a few things. In the Air For one, there’s the cost. We’ve already looked at what the estimated cost to fly to Disney World in May looks like, but (as you likely know) costs can be ever-changing. The rising cost of jet fuel is just one factor that might make those flights to the Most Magical Place on Earth quite a bit more expensive than you might be used to. But what if availability and capacity of flights also gets limited? If you’re flying JetBlue this summer, you might experience just that and it could CHANGE your trip plans. According to CNBC, JetBlue Airways has shared that it plans to cut some of its summer schedule in an attempt to avoid too many flight disruptions. All of this is happening as JetBlue works to hire more staff ahead of what some executives expect will be a “monster peak travel season.” In an email sent to staff recently, JetBlue’s Chief Operating Officer and President, Joanna Geraghty, said “We’ve already reduced May capacity 8-10% and you can expect to see a similar size capacity pull for the remainder of the summer.” ©GETTY IMAGES CNBC reports that JetBlue canceled more than 300 flights during this past weekend in April, just about a week after bad weather in Florida caused hundreds of flight cancellations for JetBlue and other airlines. Yahoo Finance shares that (according to data from FlightAware) JetBlue canceled 13% of its schedule (148 flights) on Sunday and delayed 39% of its flights. It also canceled 18% of its flights Saturday and delayed 48%. According to CNBC, airlines are “scrambling” to hire more staff ahead of expected surges in travel during the spring and summer of this year. Staffing shortages actually were part of the reason for many flight cancellations last year. Airlines are trying to avoid having the same thing happen again this year. How Could This Impact Your Travel Plans? JetBlue’s President wrote “Despite these challenges and, based on your feedback that the schedule is wound too tight, we know the best plan is to reduce capacity now…I think everyone recognizes that the industry still remains very much in recovery mode, so we believe this proactive step is the right decision.” (CNBC) Yahoo Finance shares that JetBlue shared “given we anticipate continued industry challenges and heavy demand into the summer, we are planning more conservatively and trying to be proactive where we can with cancellations due to disruptive weather and air traffic control events.” Traveling Right Now Can Be Challenging According to Geraghty, JetBlue has hired 2,500 staff so far this year, but remains short-staffed. (CNBC) Yahoo Finance shares that JetBlue has said “we remain staffing constrained, and these disruptions exacerbate an already challenging staffing situation.” Geraghty indicated that JetBlue will be sharing other measures with staff in the coming weeks to help avoid further disruptions. Geraghty also said that any and all ideas are welcome in the meantime. (CNBC) The airline is looking to add “hundreds of crew members each week” to prepare for summer travel. (Yahoo Finance) Orlando Airport JetBlue isn’t alone in its plan to cut back on flights or in its staffing shortage issues. According to CNBC, just last week Alaska Airlines said it would be trimming its schedule to handle a pilot shortage. Alaska Airlines said “The primary cause of cancellations is the shortage of pilots available to fly versus what was planned when we built our April schedule in January.” We also saw that American Airlines, United, and Delta cut some of their flights around spring break time. What Airline Do You Prefer to Fly With? We should also be hearing more updates from airlines soon. This week, Delta Air Lines reports its first quarter results, and other carriers will report later this month. So, we could be hearing more about staffing shortages and capacity plans in the next several weeks. (CNBC) Staffing shortages don’t seem to be stopping JetBlue’s potential plans to take over another airline though. Last week, JetBlue disclosed its $3.6 billion bid for Spirit Airlines. This raises questions about the Spirit and Frontier Airlines merger we had shared the news about earlier this year. Based on the most recent updates, Spirit is evaluating JetBlue’s offer. Where to? So if you’re planning to fly JetBlue this summer, just be prepared to potentially see less flights available than what you might have expected. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates and details on this situation.

When you tell your Aunt Susan or Becky down the street that you went to Disney World, they’ll probably ask you, “Did you eat any Mickey waffles?” Sure, churros and popcorn are a few classic theme park snacks, but nothing says “Disney World” quite like a Mickey waffle. While a Disney newbie might not be well-versed on the contents of a Pongu Lumpia, they probably still know about Mickey waffles — they’re practically a cultural phenomenon! Isn’t it a beautiful sight?! For many families, eating a Mickey waffle on vacation is a must-do! Between the DOZENS of Disney World resorts and theme parks, there are tons of places to pick up an order of waffles. Lucky for you, we’ve made things easy and compiled a list of ALL the places you can buy a Mickey waffle in Disney World. Disney Parks We’ll start with the Disney parks. Keep in mind that to visit these locations, you’ll need a park ticket and a park pass reservation (and in some cases, an advance dining reservation). Whether you plan to hit the parks first thing in the morning or you want to take a break to eat, these dining locations are known for serving Mickey waffles for breakfast. Keep in mind that the menus are subject to change, so take a look at the menu before your visit! Magic Kingdom Disney’s Be Our Guest restaurant is currently serving Mickey waffles for brunch until noon. Although the Mickey waffles are part of the kids menu, adults can also order a double portion of the waffles; just ask your server! Mickey Waffles Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square also serves Mickey waffles for breakfast, and you don’t need a dining reservation to eat at this quick-service location! They come with powdered sugar, too! Make sure to check the time before you travel all the way to one of these locations; Disney’s breakfast service hours may vary, but typically, lunch starts between 11AM-noon. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Currently, Tusker House in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is the only restaurant serving Disney waffles. Nala and Simba Waffles This location also may offer Simba and Nala waffles instead of Mickey waffles, so if you’re looking for the mouse, head somewhere else for breakfast! (Don’t worry, though, the Lion King waffles are just as tasty!) Disney’s Hollywood Studios Head to Hollywood Scoops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios first thing in the morning if you want a little Mikey waffle for breakfast! Depending on the season and availability, Hollywood Scoops may serve Mickey waffles with blueberries and whipped cream instead of the plain Mickey waffles. If you’re not a fan of blueberries, take a look at the menu before you place your order! A cup of Mickey Waffles? YES, PLEASE! If you’re looking for a sit-down breakfast, Hollywood & Vine in Echo Lake has plenty of Mickey waffles (and maybe even a character appearance or two!). Mickey Waffles In the morning, Hollywood & Vine becomes the Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine Breakfast. During your meal, you may see Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, Doc McStuffins, and Roadster Goofy!

You’ve gotten your dining reservations, booked the perfect hotel room, and even bought your tickets. But if you’ve forgotten to do 1 critical thing, you could find yourself in SERIOUS TROUBLE when you arrive at Disney World. Magic Kingdom What are we talking about? Well, Park Pass reservations of course! While you will need a valid theme park ticket to get into the Most Magical Place on Earth, you’ll ALSO need a valid Park Pass Reservation for the park you want to visit. Some days, especially during a slow time of the year, you may be able to score a reservation to your desired theme park at the last-minute, easy peasy. But there are some dates in 2022 that could be EXTREMELY popular or busy, and you’ll want to make your theme park reservations for them as far in advance as you can. So, don’t be the White Rabbit (late for a very important date) — let’s look at the 2022 dates for which you’ll want to book your theme park reservations NOW! Park Passes Generally Before we begin, we just want to make a quick mention of Park Passes generally. As we noted above, you will need a valid ticket to get into the Disney World theme park of your choice, but you will ALSO need a Park Pass reservation for the park you want to visit on the date you want to visit it. No park pass = no park entry. ©Disney Park Pass availability can differ depending on whether you just have theme park tickets, are staying at “select resort hotels,” or are an annual passholder. Availability can change CONSTANTLY. So, while some of these dates might have lots of availability right now, that could all change in just a few days. You can cancel your Park Pass reservations later and attempt to make new ones (depending on availability), so there is some flexibility there if you change your mind later. For more details about Disney World’s Park Pass reservation system and how to use it CLICK HERE 1 — Major Holidays Many of these dates may already be on your radar as “must-book-in-advance” days, and with good reason. Park crowds are typically at their peak on major holidays. On those days with high crowd volumes, Park Pass reservations can fill up and parks may ultimately reach capacity, so guests will likely book as far in advance as they can to “guarantee” their spot in the park. There are days that will “sell out,” and if you haven’t gotten your reservation early, you may be out of luck as you get closer to your vacation. Holiday Crowds You may be well aware of some of these “major holidays” — Christmas (ALL week), New Year’s Eve and Day (and generally right around New Year’s Eve week), Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving (usually for the entire week), Memorial Day, Halloween (including the surrounding days), and Labor Day. But there are other holidays that can sneak up on you. All of a sudden you realize the kids have a long weekend, you want to head to Disney, and BAM!, no Park Pass reservations. Hollywood Studios Crowds What holidays might catch you by surprise? Well, you won’t want to forget about things like Martin Luther King Jr. day/weekend (took place on January 17th in 2022, but it’s a good one to remember for the future), and President’s Day/weekend (took place on February 21st, 2022, but again one to keep in mind for the future), Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day (October 10th, 2022). Your best bet for handling holiday situations is to not only book your reservations for the holiday itself, but if you plan to be there in the days before or after, book those reservations now as well. Bring your appetite this holiday season to try these holiday sweets and treats! 2 — runDisney Race Weekends Friends, we are not kidding around here. runDisney races are SERIOUS. Race weekends usually begin on Thursday with the Health and Fitness Expo that each runner attends to pick up their bib and shop for some merchandise. Lots of people here! | 2021 But it’s not just the Expo area that’ll be busy, the theme parks can be pretty busy the entire race weekend as runners flood the parks to enjoy time there and take photos with their awesome medals. Park days can get busy, especially during spring races, which coincide with some schools’ spring break. Crowds | 2021 This year, some race weekends have already passed — the Walt Disney World Marathon (January); the Disney Princess Half Marathon (February), and the Springtime Surprise Weekend (March/April). But there is another race weekend on the way. The Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend will take place from November 3rd-November 6th, 2022. This can be a really popular race weekend (and a busy time in general) since it takes place during EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival. 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon If you plan to go during any of these times this year (or in the future), book your theme park reservations well in advance! Click here to learn about runDisney’s 2023 events! 3 — EPCOT Festival Opening Weekends It feels like every day is Festival Day at EPCOT. Disney fans look forward to the EPCOT festivals like a little kid at Christmas (we certainly do!), and many may plan their vacations specifically to ensure that they can be one of the FIRST to try the latest festival dishes. Of course it’ll be crowded – just look how good they make Brussels Sprouts look! Not all of the start dates for EPCOT’s upcoming festivals have been announced but here’s what we do know. EPCOT’s 2022 International Food and Wine Festival will run from July 14th through November 19th. Also, in 2021, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays took place from November 26th through December 30th. We expect it will be available generally during similar days this year, but Disney hasn’t announced the exact Festival dates yet. Appleseed Orchard 2021 The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays can be a bit of a unique beast since it typically encompasses super busy days during Thanksgiving week and Christmas week. Plus, it generally comes with the ever popular Candlelight Processional, meaning many days during this festival could be especially packed. Festival of the Holidays Also, for reference for future years, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts began January 14th, 2022, and the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival started March 2nd and will end on July 4th. Keep in mind that while the start of a festival may be particular busy, the end of the festival and weekends during the festival period can also be pretty packed, so it’s a good idea to get those reservations early! Click here to see EVERYTHING confirmed to return to EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival in 2022 4 — May the Fourth Thank you, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, for giving Star Wars fans everywhere a mecca to flock to on May the Fourth each year! May the Fourth (a.k.a. Star Wars Day — as in “may the Force be with you”) can bring in quite the celebration at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s a day you’re going to want to reserve well in advance. Star Wars Day Starbucks Mugs | 2021 The day is often celebrated with special merchandise and themed snacks and treats. At one point in 2021, park passes for Hollywood Studios sold out around the special holiday. Star Wars Day Hat Also, remember that if you want to hit up Droid Depot to custom build your very own Droid or Savi’s Workshop to build your own lightsaber, you’ll want to book those as soon as you can (typically 60 days out). Grabbing one of those reservations for May the Fourth could be especially difficult! Is the Star Wars Hotel just for Star Wars fans? Click here to see our thoughts! 5 — Jersey Week If you’re not familiar with it, you might be reading this and wondering “what on Earth is Jersey Week?!” Well, allow us to let you in on this important fact, which could help you plan your trips a bit more carefully to Disney World! Each year, schools in New Jersey take a few days off as a fall break, this is known as “Jersey Week.” During this time, many families choose to spend their break in Disney World, which can lead to some substantial crowds. Just chillin’ This year, the New Jersey Education Association will be hosting their annual convention from November 10th-11th. Combine that with some days off earlier in the week, and you typically get Jersey week (typically it falls around the first full week in November). While Jersey Week may not be one of the busiest weeks on the Disney calendar, there’s a definite uptick in guests for an otherwise relatively quiet part of the year. You’ll want to book your theme park reservations before half of New Jersey does. Click here to see 2022 dates you need to know if you’re a Disney fan! 6 — Dapper Days Dapper Days provide a chance for guests to step out in the parks in some serious style. The parks that are the gathering spots for the Dapper Days fun can get quite busy with people dressed in their fashionable finest. Such Great Looks! The event, not officially sponsored by Disney, usually takes place two days in the spring and two in the fall. There’s an official Dapper Day website, where you’ll be able to check not only for dates, but also for updates on merch and more. 2021 Dapper Day In the spring of 2022, Dapper Days will take place on April 30th (EPCOT) and May 1st (Disney’s Hollywood Studios). Later in the year, Dapper Days will come back to Disney World for the “Holiday Outing” on December 10th (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) and December 11th (Disney’s Animal Kingdom). Be sure to book your Park Passes for those days well in advance! See more about Dapper Days here! 7 — Gay Days Last year, we shared how Gay Days returned to Disneyland. This year, you’ll want to plan ahead for this special event in Disney World as well. If you’re planning your Walt Disney World vacation for June 2nd—5th in 2022, now is the time to book your theme park reservations. Gay Days, a non-Disney sponsored festival, brings together members of the LGBTQ+ communities with their families, friends, and allies. During the festival, participants generally visit one of the four main theme parks each day. LOTS of merchandise | Gay Days in Anaheim The online schedule lists the festivities taking place at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on June 2nd, Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the 3rd, Magic Kingdom on the 4th, and EPCOT on the 5th. If you’ll want to be in any of those parks on any of those days, try to book your theme park reservation ASAP to beat some of the incoming crowds. See photos from Gay Days at Disneyland! 8 — Disney Holidays or Other Big Disney Dates While they might not be official holidays that show up in your traditional calendar, there are some Disney holidays or big dates coming up this year. First, October 1st, 2022 marks EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary. Disney hasn’t yet shared any official news about what may or may not take place in the park that day, but there could be some crowds there regardless, as well as special activities (if announced). For EPCOT’s 35th anniversary in 2017, we did see some special food and merchandise released, so it’s possible that will be done again for the 40th anniversary. EPCOT! EPCOT will also be getting a big, brand-new ride soon — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Disney recently announced that the ride will be opening on May 27th, and you better believe EPCOT will be BUSY that day with all kinds of fans lining up to check out this new attraction. Guardians of the Galaxy Ride So if you’re hoping to be there on opening day, book those park passes ASAP. Click here to see who can get EARLY access to the Guardians ride! Also, we have to mention that IF Disney World’s new TRON ride — TRON Lightcycle Run — opens in 2022, that is also a date you’ll want to get park passes for quickly! The ride was set to open in time for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, but that was later delayed. TRON Construction is Coming Along Disney has not yet announced an official opening date for this ride, but it could announce a date soon. Sign up for the DFB Newsletter so you don’t miss it the second the news comes out! As soon as that opening date is announced, you’ll want to quickly snatch up your park pass so you don’t miss out on all the fun. Check out our first look at the new Guardians of the Galaxy Ride! It is certainly possible that you will see other days throughout the year “sell out” in terms of theme park reservations, so if you are planning a Disney vacation, it’s always best to buy your tickets and book your park pass reservations as soon as you can, even if you won’t be going during a holiday or other season that’s expected to be busy. In the long run, that’s the best way to avoid being blocked out of being at the park you really want to be in. Plus, as we mentioned above, if you change your mind about your plans, you can cancel that pass and make a new park pass for a different park later (provided there’s availability). But, it’s better to have something reserved, rather than run the risk that it all gets booked up! Mission: SPACE And those are our tips for right now on Park Passes.

Ah, Disney’s Hollywood Studios — home to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and more unique offerings! We love visiting our favorite toys! Speaking of unique — guests of Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios may have noticed an odd blob in a window above the restaurant. Today we noticed that the odd, barely-recognizable shape has been fixed, but have you noticed this detail before? Most Disney fans know to constantly look up in the parks. Disney magic presents itself in the most obvious — and not-so-obvious — places and nods to Disney history often hide in plain sight above you. Guests who keep their eyes open for these pieces of hidden magic have probably noticed the window effect above Hollywood & Vine — but they may not have known that it was Roger Rabbit-shaped. Would you have guessed that this was Roger Rabbit? The effect was rough for a while. But we were pleased to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios and see that the effect has been fixed! What was once a barely-recognizable shape in a window, is now an obvious nod to a fan-favorite character — it’s Roger Rabbit! He looks so good! We love when Disney takes the time to fix these details throughout the parks! This detail fix just made our day! The effect can still be found in the same window above Hollywood & Vine — which is next to the “Eddie Valiant Private Investigator” tribute window. It’s still recognizable further away too! The next time you visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios, make sure you take a second to look up and see this underrated detail! Be sure to also check back here for the latest Disney news — including fixed details in the parks! Click here to see more about the changes being made to the Roger Rabbit ride in Disneyland!

Disney has shared big updates, small updates, and even an opening date for a highly anticipated new ride! Find out all the news here!

Simba in Disney KiteTails Disney announced this week that they will be shifting KiteTails to shorter and more frequent performances, and guests will be able to catch the show from anywhere around the Discovery River Lagoon! We don’t have an official date for these changes yet, so keep checking back for more updates! Check out the KiteTails changes here! Festival of the Lion King Update We’re still in Animal Kingdom! The popular Festival of the Lion King show has been modified since the show reopened, but Disney recently announced that the tumble monkeys would be coming back this summer. But that’s not all! Can You Feel the Love?! The birds who dance during “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” will also be coming back! They typically perform a high-flying, acrobatic act, and we can’t wait to see them return! Disney said they will be returning “soon.” Read more about the Festival of the Lion King updates here! Be Our Guest Opening Early As of April 3rd, we noticed that Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom had an earlier opening time of 10AM, compared to their previous opening time of 11AM for lunch. We weren’t totally sure what that might mean, but we discovered that brunch items were added to the menu! Mickey Waffles Of course, we had to try some of these brunch dishes, and our server told us that the new menu items are available from 10AM to 12PM. It still costs $62 to choose from the prix fixe menu, but if you want to try brunch make sure you visit during that two-hour window! Read our review of the Be Our Guest brunch dishes here! Guardians Opening Date And finally, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind got an official opening date! This new EPCOT ride will open on May 27th, 2022, and there will be special opportunities for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, and D23 Gold Members to preview the ride before it opens. We’re so close to opening day! EPCOT park reservations have already been filling up for the opening date, so make sure you book sooner than later if you’re hoping to ride Cosmic Rewind as soon as it opens!

Do you hear that? The American Adventure pavilion is alive with the sound of music! While we love a good performance from the Voices of Liberty, today we’re visiting the EPCOT World Showcase to listen to another talented musician. Fancy a cheery tune? Care to hear a pianist’s rendition of the epic Pirates of the Caribbean song? Head to EPCOT! There are some lovely sounds coming from the American Adventure pavilion! A beloved Disney World performer was relocated (again) to the American Adventure pavilion; let’s take a look! Carol Stein is now performing in the American Adventure Rotunda in EPCOT! If you’re unfamiliar with this musical legend, Carol Stein is a singer and pianist that previously performed in the UK pavilion’s Rose and Crown Pub. Escape the heat AND enjoy some lovely music! During Disney’s phased reopening plan, Carol Stein was called back to play in a different location in the UK pavilion! For a while, guests could find Stein playing beautiful melodies outside in a gazebo in the English Gardens. Starting now, though, Stein has moved indoors (yay — air conditioning!) to the American Adventure Rotunda. It was such a treat to listen to her play! If you ever find yourself in EPCOT, make sure to stop by and listen to a song or two — it’s sure to put a smile on your face! In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and park updates. REVIEW: NEW Exclusive Dinner Dishes and Stunning Savanna Views? Disney World’s Sanaa Has It All!

Easter has almost arrived in Disney World! Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort We’ve been seeing tons of delicious and adorable Easter-themed treats all around Disney World like this Easter Cookie Sandwich and a Cookies and Cream Cheesecake! However, Disney isn’t letting up with the treats, and we have another Easter dessert to try! We tried the Spring Into Easter dessert at Endzone Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort! It’s a Strawberry Mousse with Blueberry Compote and Lemon Curd on a Vanilla Cake! It was $5.99, and it was DELICIOUS. Also, it was adorable! It’s so cute! The strawberry mousse is fluffy and tastes like fresh strawberries. The blueberry compote was full of fresh blueberries, too! The fruit was also not overly-sweetened. The lemon curd was nice and subtle, offering just a hint of tart. The thin vanilla cake layer on the bottom also provided a stable base for all the fruity goodness. It’s a very refreshing snack perfect for spring or summer! Loads of fruit flavor! We will say this, though — the little sugar Thumper piece was VERY sweet. We’re glad it was a small garnish and not a bigger part of the treat! Overall, though, this is a great snack for berry lovers who aren’t looking for a super sweet dessert. Thumper is TOO sweet — literally! If you want to try the Spring Into Easter dessert, it’s available at all 3 of the All-Star resorts in Disney World. We’ll keep trying all of the treats that pop up in Disney World so you don’t have to, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Easter is almost here! Bunny Blondie Pop With all of the new Easter-themed treats that Disney has been putting out, we’ve been pretty busy! We’ve tried a bunch of different desserts like this incredible carrot cake cupcake, a bunny blondie pop, and more! With all of these Disney World treats to try, we almost forgot about putting together Easter baskets! Thankfully, this Disney World Resort had us covered. You can make your own Easter Basket at Disney’s Pop Century Resort in Disney World! You can buy the gifts to fill it there, or you can bring your own, as long as it’s not too pricey. Disney doesn’t want to be responsible for a lost iPhone or any other expensive Easter gifts. Make Your Own Easter Basket! There are 3 different baskets/bags to choose from! The white basket is $7, the big Disney bag is $6.50, and the smaller Disney bag is $6. They’ll wrap everything up for you, and you can choose the color of the bow you want! Easter Offerings at Pop Century We’ve seen pre-made Easter baskets at other hotels like Disney’s Contemporary Resort… 50th Anniversary Easter Basket …and Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts. These tend to pop up at almost all of the Disney resorts, so be sure to check when you arrive at your Disney World hotel! Stitch and Mickey! Make sure you head over to Pop Century if you need a last-minute Easter gift. They also have some pre-made Easter baskets available!

We’ve tried a LOT of food over at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, but we’re not done yet! Springtime Menu Spread One booth — Farmers Feast — actually has a rotating seasonal menu again this year. We already tried out the Early Bloom Menu, but now, it’s time to taste the NEW menu over here, so let’s check it out! Farmers Feast is located between the Creations Shop and Test Track in EPCOT and uses fresh, local ingredients. Farmer’s Feast We previously tried a Chilled Potato and Leek Soup, a Char-grilled Bison Rib-eye, and a Goat Cheese Creamsicle Pop at this booth, so we’re excited to see what other items are on the new menu! Menu The Springtime Menu this year features things like the new Grilled Vegetable Bruschetta and the returning Strawberry Rhubarb Upside-down Cake. New Menu! Note that the beverage menu remains the same throughout the festival, so you can check out our review of the drinks right here. Now, let’s eat some food! Eats We started out with the new Grilled Vegetable Bruschetta, which has marinated peppers, zucchini, squash, artichokes, goat cheese, and balsamic glaze on grilled ciabatta bread. This dish is $5. Okay, first, we’re going to need Disney to give us this recipe because this is a new favorite from the festival! It’s so fresh, bright, and SO very spring. We also love that hint of zing that the balsamic adds, along with the creaminess of the goat cheese. Um…Disney, can we have the recipe for this? This bruschetta doesn’t have a lot of seasoning because the grilled veggies, which have a nice char on them, provide all the flavor here. We also liked that the vegetables are chilled because, y’all, it gets hot in Florida. The bread is good and crusty on the outside, but soft in the middle. Yes, this CAN get messy, but if you don’t end up wearing at least a little of your food, are you really enjoying it? It can be messy, but we don’t care! Next up is the Herb-crusted Spring Lamb with marble potatoes, spring vegetables, and red wine butter sauce for $7.75. This item was also on the menu last year. The one word we would use to describe this lamb is “savory.” Herb-crusted Spring Lamb It’s cooked medium-rare, so it’s very tender (we only wish we got MORE of it). We also wish the herb-crusting was actually on the meat. We want more The red wine sauce perfectly compliments the meat, as well as the potatoes. The seasoned vegetables are a Mushroom Medley, which offers a hearty and earthy flavor. But we will say this — we still prefer the Bison Rib-Eye that was here previously. Mushroom medley Finally, we have the returning Strawberry Rhubarb Upside-down Cake with crème fraîche whipped cream for $4.75. This was a hit again for us this year. The strawberry and rhubarb topping tastes very fresh and not too sweet, but just sweet enough to balance out the little bit of tartness you get with each bite of fruit. DELICIOUS! The cake is nearly perfect — just a nice simple moist cake. We also liked the slight crunch on the bottom of it. The flavor here we got the most was vanilla, which balances with the fruit on top. PERFECT cake However, we felt the crème fraîche wasn’t really needed — it tastes good and all, but the flavors were already well-balanced without it. Overall Okay, so we’re going to say this again — do NOT skip this booth. We’ve loved it time and time again and this updated menu is delicious. We’re looking forward to trying the next one! After the Springtime Menu is gone, you can try the Summer Solstice Menu from May 22nd through July 4th. We will, of course, be back to check that one out and bring you a full review! The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is running until July 4th this year, so you have plenty of time to check out all of the food booths.

We chatted with a Cast Member who indicated the ride was on the refurbishment calendar for the rest of April, but was not listed on the calendar for May! Restaurantosaurus We thought we were done with construction over at this Animal Kingdom restaurant, but we noticed some gates were up blocking a ramp on the left side of the dino dining spot.
