At any given time, you probably have more on your plate than a hungry diner at an all-you-can-eat buffet. With such a busy schedule, let us help! While we may not be able to plan your entire Disney World vacation for you, we can pack your park bag for you. From start to finish, your Disney vacation is a wild ride! As a special little mother’s day treat, we’re giving you one less thing to research. Here’s a list of everything you need in your Disney World park bag for a smooth day in the parks! These days, you need your phone to do just about EVERYTHING in Disney World! Your phone is your room key, your credit card, your camera, and even your personal assistant! All that activity is probably going to wear down your battery pretty quickly, so we suggest this Anker Portable Charger for a little charging on the go. ©Amazon This charger is $21.99, and it is compatible with any phone (just make sure you have a charging cable for your phone!).

Click here to buy some Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes Of course, you’ll probably keep your fingers crossed that you won’t need it, but it’s always a good idea to carry a Compact Umbrella in your park bag. We tend to recommend the kind that folds up quickly and easily so that you can pull it out at the first sign of rain. ©Target This compact polka-dot umbrella is $15.99 on the Target website.

The first critical part of any Disney World trip is…getting to Disney World! You obviously need to get from your home to the Most Magical Place on Earth, so how do you choose to go? Train? Bus? Car? Flight? Ah, the Walt Disney World main gate! Right now you might book those through a traditional means — go to the airline website and book a flight, go online and book a rental car through a specific company or discount service, etc. But what if you could do it all through one “superapp” powered by a familiar company? You might be able to soon! According to CNBC, Uber (yes, Uber, the rideshare service) recently announced that it is adding trains, buses, planes, and car rentals to the U.K. app this year! Jamie Heywood, who is described as Uber’s “boss” in the U.K., said that Uber hopes to turn into a “one-stop-shop for all your travel needs.” In fact, CNBC refers to it as Uber’s plan to become a travel “superapp.” For now, this is only going to be done in the United Kingdom Uber app. But, it is part of a pilot that (if it goes well) could be expanded to other countries in the future. Uber Could Help You Book a Flight! Note that Uber itself won’t be providing these travel services itself. Instead, the plan is to allow Uber users to book these travel services through Uber’s app “following software integrations with platforms that sell tickets.” Uber may then take a cut on each book. It plans to announce its partnerships with various other companies in the upcoming months. Jamie Heywood said that they plan to incorporate flights into the U.K. app later this year. In the future, they’re looking to incorporate hotels into the app as well, “integrating leading partners into the Uber app to create a seamless door-to-door travel experience.” Would You Book Your Flight Through UBER? In terms of train tickets, Uber plans to let app users buy Eurostar train tickets through the app. Eurostar allows travel from London to Paris and other cities. This isn’t the first time Uber has mentioned this plan to become a travel “superapp” though. In fact, CNBC shares that Uber is actually a bit “behind schedule” on its superapp plans. Back in 2018, the CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, said that Uber wanted to add more transport options to the app. But, things have been delayed. Heywood reportedly told The Financial Times “It’s fair to say that Covid made it a little bit hard for us to progress as quickly as we would like.” If you Uber to Magic Kingdom, you’ll have to go to the Ticket and Transportation Center and take the Monorail This is still a developing situation. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more details as to how Uber’s “superapp” plans come together and whether they ultimately get expanded to other countries. Could it eventually be used to book your flight to Disney World? Only time will tell as plans for this “superapp” progress. Be sure to check back with us for more details.

Now that Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort is welcoming guests again, all of the Disney World hotels are officially open! But that doesn’t mean that we won’t still see some serious changes in the near future. In fact, there are a LOT of planned projects at Disney’s resorts. Changes are coming! From redecorated rooms to new restaurants and updated check-out procedures to fancy technology, there are quite a few changes coming to Disney World’s hotels. It can be tough to keep all of the projects straight, so we’ve got a complete list of ALL the changes that are in the works here! Check out the updates and see if any of these will affect your upcoming vacation. Some of the changes we found are happening at individual hotels, and then there are some big changes coming to ALL of Disney World’s hotels. Let’s start out with the individual changes, most of which are happening at the Magic Kingdom Monorail resorts. Disney’s Contemporary Resort At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, many hotel rooms are being redesigned with an Incredibles theme! Contemporary Guest Room Some of the rooms are already open to guests, so we’ve been inside and taken you on a full virtual tour already. But this project isn’t quite finished yet! All 9 floors of guest rooms in the tower are being completely refurbished with this new theme. A Look at the Closet Once the tower guest rooms are finished, they’ll begin work on the rooms in the Garden Wing, out on the shore of Bay Lake. Bathroom This project still has a ways to go, with many rooms being refurbished over time. But the good news is that you can stay in some of the finished Incredibles rooms now! Click here to tour the new Incredibles rooms. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort There’s going to be a MAJOR addition coming to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in the next few years. Disney announced a brand-new Disney Vacation Club building, which will house DVC villas as well as new recreation and dining options. ©Disney These villas are expected to open in late 2024, and they’re “inspired by the early concepts for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort,” according to Disney. Construction at Disney’s Polynesian Resort Unfortunately, the new DVC building is taking the place of the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, which used to feature an all-you-can-eat menu along with a luau. This dinner show did not return when the theme parks reopened in 2020, and now it has been closed permanently. Learn more about the new DVC building here. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the Big Pine Key building is being refurbished to become 200 Disney Vacation Club Resort Studios. This project officially started construction on March 1st, 2022, and it’s expected to finish sometime in the summer of 2022. Grand Floridian Studio Preview The new rooms will have a Mary Poppins Returns theme, with details in the room pointing to the movie. On our recent tour of a model for the new DVC Resort Studios, we spotted several subtle nods to the story, including glass birds on the chandelier, images of umbrellas on the air vent, and a pastel color scheme. Bathroom vanity area Some other DVC rooms are being refurbished as well during this time, including the Deluxe Studios and the villas. Among other refurbishments, Disney plans to add new pull-out beds to these rooms. ©Disney The extra beds should mean that more people can stay in each room once the refurbishments are complete! Click here to take a virtual tour of the new DVC Resort Studios. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn There are a LOT of changes in store for Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. This resort will be getting a NEW table-service restaurant called The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. This restaurant already has a couple of locations in Indiana, but this will be the first location in Disney World. ©Disney The new restaurant features lots of tasty-looking cakes (of course), as well as other treats in the bakery section like cookies and pies. ©The Cake Bake Shop The restaurant is a full table-service spot with an option for an afternoon tea service as well. Existing Cake Bake Shop locations serve brunch-style dishes like quiche, sandwiches, soups, and more. So we could see options like that at the Disney World location as well! The Cake Bake Shop will open in 2023. ©The Cake Bake Shop In light of the new bakery coming to BoardWalk, the BoardWalk Bakery will undergo some changes and become a sandwich shop for guests to enjoy. BoardWalk Bakery In addition to those dining changes, there will also be a new coffee shop located just off the hotel’s lobby. This spot will serve artisanal beverages and snacks that are available to-go, although there will also be some seating both inside and outdoors. BoardWalk Inn Lobby But dining isn’t the only thing getting an upgrade at the BoardWalk Inn. Disney said that the hotel itself — including the lobby, lounge, and guest rooms — will be “reinvigorated” with some “light and airy touches.” Boardwalk Inn Resort We don’t have any specifics for this renovation, except that the changes are meant to “carry the seaside breeze right inside” with new seating spaces inside and outdoors. Learn about the potential menu and prices for the new restaurant coming to BoardWalk Inn. All Disney World Hotels Some big changes are coming to all of Disney World’s hotels soon! Mobile Checkout First of all, Disney is changing how you check out of your hotel room. There’s already a feature on the My Disney Experience app for guests to check into their hotel rooms without even stopping at the front desk, but soon guests can use the same app to check out as well. All-Star Movies Front Desk Currently, automatic check-out means guests are checked out of their hotel room at 11AM on the day of their departure, and any remaining charges are sent to the email on file. But the new Mobile Check-Out means guests can view their charges on the My Disney Experience app and check out of their room as soon as they leave. Beach Club Front Desk To use the feature, guests will need to have a credit card on file (or a zero-dollar balance). You can find out if you meet this criteria by opening the My Disney Experience app, going to your reservation details, and selecting “view charges.” From there, you can view and approve all charges. Riviera resort room Once you’re finished, you can hit “Check Out Now” in the “Mobile Resort Checkout module” to begin your checkout process. Note that guests will still be able to charge purchases to their room during the day if they use the Mobile Resort Checkout feature. Now you can check out as you leave! Right now, this feature is only available at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney’s Riviera Resort, but Disney has announced that it will be coming to other hotels in the future. Learn all about the My Disney Experience app here. Housekeeping When Disney World’s hotels reopened in 2020, housekeeping looked a little different. And many of those changes have stuck around to this day! Prior to guests’ arrival, the room undergoes a “thorough cleaning” with special attention paid to high-touch areas. Sanitized and ready for you! Some items in the rooms are individually wrapped to show that they have been cleaned, such as remotes and cups. During your visit, housekeeping generally does a “light” cleaning service every other day, which includes removing trash and used towels, replenishing towels, wiping the vanity and counters, and vacuuming as needed. Extra towels are sometimes a necessity! But this is starting to change at some Disney World hotels! For example, at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, a Cast Member told us that guests will receive full housekeeping every day. At some other hotels, housekeeping remains modified with various schedules. Grand Floridian Resort Room We’re expecting Disney to continue to move back to full housekeeping every day, but they have not announced yet when or if this change could take place. Check out everything we know about housekeeping at Disney World hotels right now. “Hey, Disney” Devices Disney announced that, as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations in Disney World, they will be introducing new “Hey Disney!” devices into hotel rooms. “Hey Disney!” is a “magical companion” that uses Alexa technology for supported Amazon Echo devices to assist guests with a variety of questions and requests. “Hey Disney” device The devices will be able to answer questions, set alarms, introduce guests to Disney characters, and more. Disney has said that you can even ask, “Hey Disney! Can we have some extra towels?” and a Cast Member will bring them to your room. Amazon Echo Show More examples of questions that you can ask “Hey Disney!” include “Hey Disney! When does the next bus to EPCOT depart?” and “Hey Disney! When does Magic Kingdom open today?” During a media preview event, one of the Disney representatives asked the service for a joke and Dory appeared on the screen with some funny quips! ©Disney According to Disney, guests can discover “more than a thousand magical interactions, such as hearing special greetings and jokes from authentic Disney character voices, asking trivia questions, and exploring audio environments inspired by Disney films and destinations.” Hey, Disney! is coming to your hotel room! Disney has said that this feature will be offered as an optional and complimentary addition to a Disney World hotel stay. It should start coming to hotel rooms sometime in 2022! Click here to learn more about “Hey Disney!” And that’s it so far for our look at ALL the changes announced for Disney World’s hotels!

Some Disney World souvenirs are more popular than others, like Minnie Mouse ears or popcorn buckets. Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction Space Mountain Collection One of the items in high demand is definitely Spirit Jerseys! We’ve seen a ton of them for the 50th anniversary, including one that looks like a map and another covered in balloons, and Disney also releases a bunch around the holidays. We expect to find new Spirit Jerseys in Disney World regularly, but we definitely didn’t expect to see one like THIS today! Check out this Spirit Jersey we found in Animal Kingdom today. It’s a BUTTON DOWN, y’all! We didn’t even know button down shirts could be Spirit Jerseys, but here we are. Very interesting This one is made of a thick linen material and has a collar, buttons, and pockets. You wold think this is just a normal button down with Walt Disney World along the back, but it still has those tighter, stretchy bands at the bottom of the sleeves that you see on normal Spirit Jerseys. We can’t decide how we feel! The palm leaf print is cool, but this Spirit Jersey is also $119.99 — which is significantly more expensive than regular Spirit Jerseys, which usually range between $69.99-$74.99. We can’t make up our minds! So, what do you think of this new style? Would you want to see more of them in different patterns? We’ll be on the lookout for other new Disney World merchandise, so stay tuned to DFB for news and updates! Click here to check out ANOTHER new Spirit Jersey in Disney World!

There’s a new ice cream spot coming to Disney Springs this year and we are SO excited. Salt and Straw in Downtown Disney What makes it such an anticipated shop? It’s Salt & Straw! Salt & Straw is an ice cream shop that’s known for scooping up unique ice cream flavors made with local, organic, and sustainable ingredients. There’s already a location in Disneyland, and now we’re taking a look at some of the flavors we’re MOST looking forward to seeing in Disney World. That’s right, we’re RANKING the best Salt & Straw flavors. Now, Salt & Straw has a core menu and seasonal flavors, both are subject to change. So, for our ranking, we’re using the current Disneyland Salt & Straw menu as a guide! Since these flavors are already served in Disneyland, we think they have a good chance of coming to the Disney World location. ©Salt & Straw Salt & Straw has confirmed that two flavors from the Disneyland list WILL be on the menu in Disney World — the Honey Lavendar and Chocolate Gooey Brownie. And, some Florida-specific flavors will be coming too including The Salty Donut Guava & Cheese and Panther Coffee Chocolate Tres Leches. So, let’s rank the TOP 7 Salt & Straw flavors that COULD come to Disney World! 7. Honey Lavender Coming in as the lowest on our list of bests is the Honey Lavender. This flavor was ranked highly by Los Angeles Magazine. It’s earned its spot in the Top 7 thanks to its delicate combination of flavors. The floral quality might be a bit much for some (otherwise, it would be ranked higher) but the Honey Lavender is a STAPLE of the Salt & Straw offerings. ©Salt & Straw Salt & Straw describes this flavor by saying, “Oregon-grown Lavender petals are carefully steeped in Honey to extract that perfect floral flavor. We are proud to use Bee Local Honey in this Ice Cream, their Honey is harvested from urban hives all around Portland resulting in flavor that is unique and changing throughout the year.” Click here to learn more about the Salt & Straw location coming to Disney Springs! 6. Freckled Mint TCHO-colate Chip Next up on our list is the Freckled Mint TCHO-colate Chip — and this one is actually VEGAN! Yep, a non-dairy ice cream has made our ranking of the bests. This classic flavor with a twist is great for plant-based eaters and dairy-lovers alike. It’s so minty and creamy, it’s hard to notice that it doesn’t have any milk! And we know this one is so popular because it’s actually one of Salt & Straw’s BEST sellers. ©Salt & Straw On the menu, this one is described, “Coconut and pure Oregon Mint Oil coalesce into a delicate, floral Ice Cream, freckled with Organic Chocolate from bean-to-bar pioneer Theo.” Want to see how you can hack a Salt & Straw milkshake? Click here! 5. Double Fold Vanilla Coming in at fifth place is another Salt & Straw best-seller, the Double Fold Vanilla! Sure, plain old vanilla might be on the more basic side of Salt & Straw flavors but this is a VERY good vanilla. Plus, it’s perfect for pairing with more unique options! With such wide appeal, this one has certainly earned its spot. ©Salt & Straw “Made with Singing Dog Vanilla from Eugene, OR. ‘Double Fold’ means that they use twice as many Vanilla Beans to pack an amazing Vanilla punch,” the menu says, “But the really good sounding part is that they not only pay a fair price for Vanilla but also give a percent of the proceeds back to farmers when the product sells in the US. It’s great Ice Cream, doing something great.” To see Salt & Straw’s original opening month prediction for Disney World, click here! 4. Chocolate Gooey Brownie You might not be too surprised that a flavor called Chocolate Gooey Brownie has made our top picks. After all, chocolate lovers have BIG feelings. This flavor is another of Salt & Straw’s best-sellers and it’s ranked highly due to its SUPER chocolatey flavors and those ooey-gooey textures. Chocolate Gooey Brownie and Roasted Strawberry Coconut The menu says of this one, “This is Chocolate Ice Cream at its simplest and most indulgent. We’ve teamed up with Valrhona to make a base that is rich, dark, fudgy, and chocolatey. Our in-house baked, gooey Brownies have Marshmallows baked into them to create a Brownie that treads awfully close to the point of being Fudge.” Click here to see our review of this flavor! 3. Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons Another rich flavor with a LOT of fans is the Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons. You guessed it, our third place champ is a best seller on the Salt & Straw list too! The super sweetness from the caramel is tempered by the perfect bite of saltiness. For caramel fans, this one is hard to pass up. ©Salt & Straw This flavor was another collaboration! Salt & Straw says, “We created this Ice Cream with Mark Bitterman, the owner and “selmelier” at The Meadow, the internationally renowned Portland Salt shop. He actually wrote the book on Salt, Salted, a James Beard Award-winning cookbook. We use their Fleur de Sel, which is made in Guatemala from Salt pans that are famed for supplying the Mayan Empire at the height of its power. We’ve topped it off by ribboning in Hand-burned Caramel that we make in-house!” Want to see how The Rock once teamed up with Salt & Straw!? Click here! 2. Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Coming in SECOND PLACE, we have the Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. We can’t say we’re too surprised that a cookie dough-based creation is one of the most popular Salt & Straw flavors. This perfectly sweet and slightly salty flavor is a best seller of ALL the flavors at Salt & Straw! ©Salt & Straw “Rich, chunky bites of chewy salty and malty Homemade Cookie Dough,” the menu says, “Mixed into a super Vanilla-y Ice Cream and finished with licks of Malted Fudge Swirls.” To learn more about the Disneyland location of Salt & Straw, click here! 1. Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper In first place, we have one of Salt & Straw’s more unique staples — the Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper. This one bagged first place for a few reasons. For one, we had to give the top spot to a creative flavor (that’s kind of Salt & Straw’s whole deal!). AND, this flavor was rated the SECOND BEST ICE CREAM IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY by the Food Network! ©Salt & Straw This one is described, as “A Strawberry triple threat. We steal a trick from the Italians, using Balsamic and citrusy Cubeb Black Pepper to help coax out the fruit’s acidity and brightness.” Click here to see another UNIQUE flavor Salt & Straw has released! Former Favorites! But we’re not quite done calling out the Salt & Straw bests. That might be the core ranking, but we wanted to call out a few seasonal selections and former favorites that might NOT be on the Disneyland menu right now — but did WOW us when they were. Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey Yep, you read that right. In 2018, Salt & Straw released a TURKEY flavor ice cream and we gave it a try. The Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey was shockingly our favorite of the fall flavors at the time. Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey It was made with a mix of buttery Turkey Brittle and Turkey Fat Caramel Ice Cream. It didn’t taste like true turkey and instead had a buttery saltiness to it that was SO GOOD. We’d love to see this one pop up in Disney Springs around Thanksgiving! Want to see our REVIEW of this flavor? Click here! Eclipse’s Cardamom Rose Chocolate Another seasonal flavor that still lives in our memories rent-free is the Eclipse’s Cardamom Rose Chocolate. This flavor was available for Valentine’s Day in 2019 and it WOWED us with an unexpected texture and a beautiful mingling between the rose and the chocolate. Eclipse’s Cardamom Rose Chocolate Ice Cream This one was modeled after Eclipse’s Cardamom Rose Petal-infused Drinking Chocolate with swirls of Chocolate and Rose Ice Cream plus Cardamom Spice and Cacao Nib Ice Cream. To see more of this flavor, click here! Apple Pie with Beecher’s Flagship Cheesecake Ice Cream In 2020, Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival offered up a limited-time flavor from Salt & Straw. That’s when we tried out the Apple Pie with Beecher’s Flagship Cheesecake Ice Cream. This cup was a GREAT flavor combo…so decadent! Apple Pie with Beecher’s Flagship Cheesecake Ice Cream Salt & Straw describes this flavor as, “Swirls of magically gooey, cinnamon-y traditional Apple Pie Filling partner with ultra-flaky crisps of buttery Pie Crust. The star of the show: Beecher’s Flagship Cheese, made by our dear friends in Seattle, is gently melted into cream to provide an almost nutty, salty ice cream.” Click here to see our review of this flavor! Snap and Crackle Marshmallow Treats And finally, we just recently tried out a whole FLIGHT of popular cereal flavors from Salt & Straw. Though there were four flavors included, we loved the Snap and Crackle Marshmallow Treats flavor the BEST. It was salty, sweet, crunchy, rich, creamy, and savory all at once! Salt and Straw ice cream flight How did Salt & Straw make this one? The menu says, “We took a trick from three little elves: A magical rendition of Marshmallow-y Brown Butter Treats, pressed and toasted into a lacy florentine, churned throughout a malty, Toasted Graham Ice Cream.” Want to see our review of this flavor? Click here! We’ll be keeping a close eye out for news about the opening of the Disney World Salt & Straw. Stay tuned so you don’t miss out on any of the updates or any of the ice creamy goodness!

Moon Knight is one of the latest Marvel comics to be brought to life onscreen. Moon Knight Posters In addition to the Disney+ series now streaming online, we’re starting to see some character appearances in Disney parks. Last week, we told you about Moon Knight’s appearance at Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. Now, we’ve got ANOTHER mysterious superhero to watch out for! According to a Tik Tok, the mild-mannered Mr. Knight has also arrived at the Avengers Campus. In the video, we see Moon Knight fading into darkness; then, once the light returns, it’s Mr. Knight we see. He straightens his tie, looking VERY ready for a “Mr. Knight to remember.” ©Disney As new episodes continue to be released and new characters hit the parks, make sure you follow DFB to stay up to date on everything Marvel!

Over the years, Disney World has added more and more plant-based and vegan dishes to its restaurant menus, and we are HERE for it! Cinderella Castle We recently tried a plant-based meatball sub over at PizzeRizzo in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we’ve had a vegan “lobster roll” at Rosie’s All-American Cafe, and even a jackfruit gyro at EPCOT! To say that Disney is getting adventurous with their plant-based options would be an understatement, and today we’re back with another review of a NEW plant-based item! Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort has just reopened in Disney World, making it the final resort on property to open back up after the pandemic-related closures in 2020. Welcome back to Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort! We popped on over to see if there was anything new since our last visit, and we were ecstatic to see there was a plant-based option in the grab-and-go section of the End Zone Food Court — the Plant-Based Tuna Sandwich! Plant-based tuna sandwich from End Zone Food Court According to the End Zone Food Court menu, this dish is made with Plant-based Tuna Salad, “Mayonnaise,” Arugula, Cucumbers, Pickled Onions, and Radishes served on Multigrain Bread. A great plant-based option. Our plant-based reporter shared that this was a really delicious sandwich! The tuna salad didn’t necessarily taste like fish to us, but it was very good. There’s some sort of herbaceous dressing in the tuna salad which really makes the whole sandwich. Look at all that veggie goodness! The pickled onion flavor adds a nice zing, and with the cucumber, radish, and lettuce gave this otherwise-mushy sandwich a nice crunchy snap. If you’re looking for a really fishy tasting plant-based tuna, this isn’t it — the tuna salad was almost an afterthought, and the bread was soggy around the edges on the sandwich we had. For $9.99, this is an excellent option for plant-based eaters on the go who are looking for a light, fresh sandwich. Hop on over to Disney’s All-Star Resort to try it for yourself, and don’t forget to stay tuned to DFB for more Disney food reviews!
