One thing you can always rely on at Disney World is how unreliable the weather is. Dark clouds over Cinderella Castle a few weeks ago However, storms are common in Disney World, and it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the weather if you’re planning on heading to the parks. Weather can not only affect how your day at Disney World goes, but it can also affect how many rides — as well as entertainment options — are closed when it’s storming. Today, it looks like stormy weather may very well be on the way. According to News 6 WKMG, the following counties in Florida are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Orange, Brevard, Volusia, Seminole, St. Lucie, Lake, Osceola, Martin, Indian River, and Okeechobee. Disney World is located in both Orange and Osceola Counties, so this affects the whole resort. The Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 7PM tonight. So if you’re planning on heading to Disney World, be sure to be prepared for rainy weather (bring that rain gear!) and expect that a lot of rides will close as a result. Remember that even if it doesn’t seem that the storm is AT Disney World, if lightning has struck anywhere nearby, many rides will still close. Disney Ponchos Are Expensive! We recommend having a weather app handy so that you can check the situation regularly. Also, keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app to monitor any ride and entertainment closures.

With price increases hitting Disney World what feels like almost every day, it can be easy to come to the conclusion that a vacation to “the most magical place on earth” is out of reach nowadays. But, it might not be! Mickey and Minnie 50th Anniversary Golden Statues Yes, the cost of tickets, your hotel stay, food, merchandise, flights, and more can add up quickly, but there are still ways to make it so that you’re not considering taking out a second mortgage just to give your kiddos a chance to meet the mouse. But, we won’t lie, it’s not necessarily easy to save — you’ve got to know what you’re doing! So, we’ve put together five ways that you can avoid paying full price to ensure that you can actually enjoy your trip rather than pinch pennies! Take advantage of hotel discounts One of the first things you do when you’re planning a Disney World vacation is choosing a place to stay — and, the great news is that there’s almost always some sort of deal going on for Disney World hotels! So, don’t make the mistake of paying full price! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder, Florida Resident, or U.S. Military Member, you can usually secure savings of up to 25% off select resort stays — you just have to be visiting at the right time! And, if you’re not part of these exclusive groups, Disney often runs deals for all guests that could result in some big savings. For example, in 2022 Disney is offering savings of up to $100 off PER NIGHT at certain hotels between March and July. So, depending on how many days you’ll be visiting you can REALLY rack up those savings! Grand Floridian DVC Studio Preview Plus, you don’t have to miss out on the savings if you’ve already booked your vacation and a new deal pops up! You can usually call Disney World Guest Services to have those discounts applied after the fact, or, if they’re not able to help, you can opt to cancel with no penalty (as long as you aren’t within 30 days of the beginning of your vacation) and re-book your stay with the new discount. Just keep in mind that there’s no guarantee that the hotel you have booked will be available when you rebook with the discount so we always suggest checking the Disney website before you make any changes. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Now, we get it — it can be a lot to have to keep track of all the discounts and know where to look for the most up-to-date deals. But, we’ve got ya covered! We’re always keeping an eye out for new hotel deals, and you can be one of the first to know about them by subscribing to the DFB Newsletter. Or, if you’d prefer someone else to do the work for you, we’d suggest working with our friends at Small World Vacations. When you book your trip with Small World Vacations, their experienced agents monitor your reservation for possible future savings and compare discounts and figure out which one works best for your travel party, dates, resort, and touring plans. Our favorite people over at Small World Vacations are ready to help you save time, headaches, and best of all, money, when you book your Disney trip or cruise. Their agents compare current offers to find the best deal for you -- they've literally saved their guests millions of dollars since 1996. Plus, their services are 100% FREE FOR YOU!

Click here to check out some current deals! Search for ticket discounts (or opt for the best deal) Disney Park Ticket discounts are a bit more difficult to come by, though there are still ways to save! For example, if you’re a US Military Member or a Florida Resident, we’ve already seen some ticket deals available for you in 2022, and in 2021 Disney offer a special discount where you could get 2 additional days added to your theme park tickets for FREE if you purchased a certain package. But, if you don’t fall into these two groups and no other deals are available, all hope is not lost! You just need to be a bit more strategic to save. Magic Kingdom Map Disney World tickets can be used on non-consecutive days within a certain range of time, and that range may actually end up going past the days you plan to be there. So, here’s our super secret tip to saving some cash on those tickets — choose a start date for your multi-day park tickets that makes the total cost the least amount but still covers the dates that you plan to visit. Here’s how that would work. Let’s say you’re visiting Disney World in February and want to visit the parks from February 10th through the 13th. You’ll be buying a 4-day 1-park-per-day ticket for your trip. Your natural inclination is probably to select February 10th as the start date for your tickets when buying them. That would make your total ticket price $488.32 per ticket. ©Disney But, if you move that start date up a little bit to February 7th, your ticket will still cover your vacation dates but the total cost will end up being only $463.16 per ticket! And, well, savings like that can really add up! ©Disney And, if you aren’t able to find a way to use this secret money-saving hack and there aren’t any additional ticket deals running, consider saving some cash by opting not to purchase a park hopper ticket or any ticket add-ons. Park hopping returned in 2021, but there’s a stipulation — you can only park hop after 2PM each day. And, while we’ve almost never had issues hopping into whatever park our heart desires (with Disney World’s 50th Anniversary being the only exception so far), there is a case to be made that you’re essentially paying more money for less time in that second park. So, be sure that you’re really thinking about whether that park hopper will be put to good use for the extra cost. Check Out Our The Ultimate Guide to SAVING on Disney World Tickets in 2022 HERE! Shop for Disney merchandise before your trip While budgeting for your hotel stay and park tickets comes with the territory of planning a Disney World trip, one expense that most people forget to plan for is merchandise! Disney World is basically built to convince you (and your kiddos) that you absolutely need that misting fan or glow spinner. And, while $30 for a pair of Minnie Ears might stretch your wallet, there is actually a way to avoid paying full price — you just have to shop before your trip or keep your phone handy! Magic Kingdom Park 50th Anniversary merchandise Oftentimes, you can find the exact same merchandise that you’re seeing on the shelves in the Emporium at Magic Kingdom (or any other Disney store for that matter) on shopDisney. But, the prices are NOT always the same! Disney tends to run sales online that aren’t available in the stores, so you could end up saving some big bucks if you keep an eye out for the best deals online. Click here to see ALL of the Disney World 50th Anniversary Merchandise You Can Get Online Right NOW! Know what discounts you have at your disposal Disney isn’t the only place to look for discounts and ways to save — there are also quite a few discounts available for those part of affinity groups and more! For example, Disney World Annual Passholders or members of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) can score savings on merchandise, dining, and even ticketed events in Disney World throughout the year. 50th Anniversary Annual Passholder Magnet And, if you have a Disney VISA credit card, you can save on things like dining, tours, activities, and more. PLUS, you’ll save 10% on merchandise anytime you spend $50 or more (which, let’s face it, is not all that difficult to do). Disney VISA You’ll also want to keep an eye out for third-party discounts! Disney partners with quite a few different companies that might offer special discounts along with third-party businesses that operate within Disney World as well. For example, some big box stores like Sam’s Club, Costco, and BJ’s will have discounted Disney tickets for sale (though, this tends to be less true in states closer to the parks) and sometimes you can even spot a discount on Disney Gift Cards or even restaurants that are located in Disney Springs. Plus, if you’re a Target RedCard member, you can purchase Disney Gift Cards and save 5%! If ya snag these when ya see ’em, you’ll basically be buying money for your Disney vacation for LESS than paying cash! Check Out More Sneaky Ways You Can Save Money in Disney World HERE! Keep an eye out for returning promotions Lastly, we’ve seen some other awesome ways to avoid paying full price for your Disney World trip in the past, but they just haven’t returned quite yet! For example, when the Disney Dining Plan was being offered, Disney offered guests FREE Disney Dining Plans during select times of the year when they booked a Disney hotel stay and park tickets — so, you didn’t need to worry about budgeting a good lump of money for dining. We’ve also seen some pretty good hotel room and park ticket package deals that can end up saving you A LOT in the past! Look out for more opportunities to save! Now, it’s important to note that these promotions tend to be offered during the “slower” seasons of the year for Disney (and the Disney Dining Plan is currently suspended), so you’ll need to have some flexibility in your vacation dates in order to secure these savings. Check Out 5 Ways to Save $1,000 on Your Disney Trip (Really!) HERE! So, there ya have it — it’s time to say goodbye to paying full price for your Disney World vacation!

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. The Disney World parks and resorts are going through some big changes! The health and safety guidelines were recently updated, new attractions are in the works, and we heard a BIG update is coming to the character meet and greet process. Disney Cruise Now, it seems like another Disney experience is undergoing some updates; the Disney Cruise Line is gearing up for a busy spring and summer this year! Between the grand unveiling of the new Disney Wish cruise ship and the relaxed health and safety guidelines, we’re seeing a lot of changes. Let’s talk about some of the NEW updates Disney added to the Disney Cruise Line website. Previously, Disney’s health and safety guidelines stated that face masks were optional for guests in most indoor locations throughout the Disney Cruise Line ships, with one of the main exceptions being the Walt Disney Theatre. According to the old language on the Disney Cruise Line website, “guests ages 2 and up, including those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, will still be required to wear face coverings in the Walt Disney Theatre.” Walt Disney Theatre Starting now, the face mask requirement has changed. The Disney Cruise Line website has updated language that no longer requires guests to wear a face mask in the theater. Keep in mind that “face coverings are required on motorcoach transportation and in the Disney Cruise Line Terminal and may be required in ports of call based on local government requirements.” ©Disney The Disney Cruise Line dining process was also recently updated. In the past, all foods and beverages that were available at self-service stations were served by Crew Members, but now, that language was removed from the website. Animator’s Palate Instead, the Disney Cruise Line website explains that “Quick service food and beverage locations, including buffets, still offer all-you-care-to-eat bites and treats,” indicating that self-service buffets have returned. ©Disney Disney also states that “service attendants [are] available to help satisfy your cravings at select times.” ©Disney While we’re still waiting for an update on a few cruise activities, like the Sail Away Celebration, the Pirate’s Night deck party, and character meet and greets, we did notice that Disney has a new section on its website with updated language on the fireworks. ©Disney In the past, guests were assigned to a fireworks show date prior to their cruise. Now, that statement has been taken off the Disney Cruise Line website. Starting now, Disney is no longer assigning guests to a specific fireworks performance. ©Disney As Disney continues to make changes to its health and safety guidelines, we’ll be sure to keep you up-to-date with all the latest information! If you’re planning to take a cruise in the near future, we recommend that you take a look at the online checklist that can be found on the Disney Cruise website; it outlines what you need to do before your trip and lists the requirements for embarkation day. ©Disney Note that these changes do not apply to sailings from Disney’s Canadian and European ports, and Disney’s health and safety policies are subject to change.

Are you a fan of BBQ? If so, you might be wondering where to eat next time you visit Disney World. The Smokehouse BBQ Burger from Regal Eagle at EPCOT You have two great BBQ options in Disney World, including The Polite Pig in Disney Springs and the newer Regal Eagle Smokehouse in EPCOT. Both spots serve delicious BBQ quickly, so if you find yourself looking for BBQ next time you’re in Disney World, you might want to give Regal Eagle a try! Breaking Down the Restaurants First, we’ll start by talking about each restaurant and what they have to offer. The Polite Pig The Polite Pig is located in the Town Center area of Disney Springs. It opened in April 2017 and is known for serving modern barbecue inspired by Florida cuisine in a fast casual environment. The Polite Pig is owned by a husband and wife team, award-winning Orlando Chefs James and Julie Petrakis, who also own three other restaurants in the Orlando area. The Polite Pig at Disney Springs All of their drinks are on tap and we’ve consistently reviewed The Polite Pig as having some of the best BBQ you can find in Disney World. Still, it’s not the only BBQ spot to try! Click here to read our review of The Polite Pig! Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts and Barbecue Regal Eagle Smokehouse opened in the American Adventure pavilion of EPCOT in February of 2020, replacing the former Liberty Inn. This quick service spot serves American BBQ, craft brews, cocktails on tap, and has a ton of indoor and outdoor seating on a beautiful patio. Regal Eagle Smokehouse The “eagle” in Regal Eagle is actually Sam Eagle from the Muppets, and you can find nods to his character through the space. Read our review of Regal Eagle Smokehouse here! Comparing the Atmosphere The Polite Pig and Regal Eagle have a LOT in common, including quick service/casual environments, modern American BBQ dishes, indoor and outdoor seating, great craft beer selections, and no reservations necessary. The Polite Pig has plenty of seating, and can actually seat nearly 200 guests. You order at the counter and receive a pager to let you know when your food is ready. Seating inside Polite Pig Seating outside The Polite Pig is both shaded and unshaded, and there’s plenty of space to accommodate big groups of people. Seating Outside Polite Pig Inside The Polite Pig, you’ll find lots of decor honoring the restaurant’s namesake, including pig artwork… Pig artwork …and even hoof marks on the floors! Hoof prints! At Regal Eagle, guests can order at the counter or place a Mobile Order for pick up, which is a nice perk. The restaurant has a large indoor space for eating, and the decor is very patriotic with colors of red, white and blue. Inside Regal Eagle Regal Eagle is furnished with early-American colonial-style decor, and if you look closely you might spot some Muppets included in the artwork! Janice isn’t just a guitar player — she’s also a pitmaster! Outside there’s even more seating on the beautiful patio, as well as an outdoor walk-up bar with some craft brew and cocktail selections you might not find inside the restaurant. Regal Eagle Smokehouse Whether you prefer inside or outside, both restaurants deliver quality BBQ with plenty of seating options and unique decor. Here’s our review of Regal Eagle’s outdoor bar! A Look at Both Menus At The Polite Pig, the menu features Shareables, Sandwiches, Salads, Sides and Desserts. Shareables include dishes you could easily share with someone else with prices ranging from $9 to $15, like the Hop Salt Pretzel for $9. ©Disney Sandwich prices begin at $11, with the Smoked Chicken Salad, to $14, for the Low & Slow Brisket. ©Disney And salads are $12 to $13, and include classics like the Polite Caesar Salad, to more unique salads like The Springs Spinach for $13. ©Disney The Southern Pig Sandwich is $12 and includes Pulled Pork, Fennel Apple Slaw, tangy Mustard BBQ, and Duke’s Mayo as well as a pickle. It’s fresh and flavorful and a great portion size for the price! The Southern Pig At Regal Eagle, you’ll find slightly less options than Polite Pig, and they serve meat dishes in addition to sandwiches and salads. Prices for Entrees range from $9.49 to $15.99 for the Memphis Dry-rub Pork Ribs. © Disney Sides are included with Entree dishes, but you can also purchase them a la carte. They’re fairly low priced, with all of them at $4.99. © Disney The Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich at Regal Eagle costs $13.49, and you get Brisket rubbed in their secret Brisket Rub, Slow-smoked and smothered in Spicy Mop Sauce, served on Garlic Toast and a choice of side. That’s a lot of food for the price! Regal Eagle Smokehouse Sliced Beef Brisket Sandwich You can also choose from SIX sauces to enhance your food, including (from left to right) Ketchup, Blue Ribbon Brisket Sauce (savory and spicy), Blue Ridge Vinegar League, Sizzlin’ Pit Dry Rub Coalition Classic Smokehouse Sauce, and Mustard Guild “Old Glory” Sweet Mustard Sauce. Regal Eagle Smokehouse And don’t forget to order the Banana Pudding for $5.29, which is a deliciously sweet treat. Banana Pudding Look, we love The Polite Pig, but we also really enjoy Regal Eagle’s selections too! They’re both comparably priced with great portion sizes and delicious dishes satisfying for any BBQ fan. Is this Regal Eagle burger even better on garlic toast? So if you find yourself in Disney World with a craving for BBQ food, you might want to give Regal Eagle Smokehouse a shot.

EPCOT is one of the best Disney Parks for food, but have you visited this bakery tucked away in the corner of one of the pavilions in the World Showcase? EPCOT We’re talking about the one, the only…Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie! We’ve tried pretty much everything at Les Halles and today we’re here with reviews of 21 items, from sandwiches to desserts. If you’re having trouble narrowing down your choices at this spot, read on! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is a counter service restaurant located toward the back of the France pavilion in EPCOT, so if you’re sticking to the main pathway in the World Showcase you’ll miss it. This patisserie is home to quite a few delicious goodies, including sandwiches, pastries, desserts, and more. Les Halles You can see all the eats in the display cases, from sandwiches.. Sandwiches …to pastries and treats! And yes, it is difficult to choose just one thing. Treats Because there’s a LOT to choose from y’all. MORE treats Now let’s get into all the reviews! Jambon Beurre The Jambon Beurre (which means ham and butter) is a sandwich made with Ham, Cheese, and Dijon Mustard Butter on a Demi Baguette for $8.95. Sandwiches are pre-made and visible in the bakery case, and you can generally choose whether to eat your sandwich cold or warmed up. The Jambon Beurre is one of those sandwiches you probably want to eat cold. Jambon Beurre Sandwich Although this is a pretty simple sandwich, we love it so much. The butter is a more unique choice than your typical mustard or mayo, the ham is thickly sliced, and the cheese is Gruyère, which adds a more complex flavor to the sandwich. Read our full review of the Jambon Beurre here! Brie au Pommes The Brie au Pommes (translated to brie with apples) sandwich is made with Brie, Apples, and Cranberries on Multi Grain Bread for $9.25. Do you want to feel like you’re eating at a cafe in Paris? Get this sandwich. Brie and Apple Sandwich The sliced brie combined with the thinly sliced apples are perfection. As we stated in a past review, this sandwich is art. And if you get it heated, the soft brie gets all melty with the sweet apples — SO good. Check out our full review of the Brie au Pommes sandwich here! Poulet au Pistou Pesto people must try the Poulet au Pistou (aka pesto chicken), made with Chicken Breast, Cheese, Tomato, Red Onion, and Pesto for $9.50. This sandwich is pretty big at about six inches in diameter! Poulet au Pistou If you enjoy pesto and chicken, it’s worth a try! And if you’re getting a dessert (or two…or three) you can easily cut it in half and share with a friend. Here’s our full review of Poulet au Pistou! Pain Lard & Fromage The bacon and cheese roll has gone by a few names at Les Halles, but most recently called the Pain Lard & Fromage. This roll has changed looks a few times too, going from a round to an oval shape, and at one point there was practically no bacon. Les Halles Pain Lard & Fromage Thankfully, Cast Members heard our cries for more bacon, and the next time we visited there was TONS of bacon! And y’all, it’s bacon, cheese, and bread — so naturally, it’s delicious. Unfortunately, it’s not on the menu at the moment, but like we said, it has gone through a few transitions, so we look for it to reappear! Read our full review of the Pain Lard & Fromage here! Bisque de Homard Bisque de Homard, or Lobster Bisque in a Bread Bowl, is $5.95, which is pretty reasonably priced for a filling and hearty meal. On a wintery Florida day, this meal hits the spot. Bisque de Homard Bread lovers and lobster bisque fans will love this dish. And if you’re looking for a tasty meal under $6, this is a delicious option! Read more about our view of the Bisque de Homard here! Croque Monsieur The Croque Monsieur sandwich is $9.25, made with Toasted Ham and Cheese. Remember when we said you could get any sandwich heated up? This is one sandwich you want to eat warm. Croque Monseiur This French ham and cheese sandwich is made with a bechamel sauce and extra toasted Gruyere cheese on top. This is one of our favorite items at Les Halles and it’s not only delicious, it’s filling, too! Here’s our full review of the Croque Monsieur! Baguette Ah yes, the baguette. You can get a Baguette in half size for $2.25 or full size for $3.50, making this one of the cheapest snacks you can find in Disney World! Baguette When we say the baguette is fresh, we mean it’s served fresh right from the Les Halles ovens! As Colette said in Ratatouille, “the sound of the crust” is how you can tell bread is good, and you won’t be disappointed by the baguette. Check out our full review of the Les Halles Baguette here! Croissant Salé The Croissant Salé is $8.25, and it comes with Eggs, Cheese, and Bacon served on a buttery Croissant. You can have it toasted or served cold, but we generally get ours toasted. Croissant Salé Inside the croissant is Swiss cheese, egg, and three slices of bacon and it’s REALLY good, y’all. The best part is that this breakfast dish is served all day, so you CAN get breakfast for dinner in Disney World! Read our full review of the Croissant Salé here! Croissant A classic pastry, the Croissant, is $2.95 at Les Halles, and it’s about as delicious as you’d think. Buttery and flaky, you can eat it toasted or as is. Croissant At less than $3, the croissant is a tasty and inexpensive snack that doesn’t limit you to typical theme park food! Learn more about the Les Halles Croissant here! Beignet For awhile, the only place to get a beignet was at one or two locations around Disney World. But did you know that you can get a Beignet filled with chocolate and hazelnuts for $4.95 at Les Halles! Beignet When we last tried the beignet, the pastry was fresh and the combo of chocolate and hazelnut was delicious. We ended up splitting it among four people and everyone agreed that it was a perfect portion size. Read our full review of the Beignet here! Pain au Chocolat On the left side of this plate is the Pain au Chocolat, also known as a chocolate croissant. It costs $3.80, and it’s pretty much what you’d expect — a flaky croissant with chocolate pieces inside! Pain au Chocolat If you like chocolate and croissants, you’d probably enjoy trying this. Plus, it’s under $4! Biscuit Chocolat The Biscuit Chocolat is a chocolate chip cookie absolutely stuffed with chunks of chocolate. It costs $3.95, making it a fairly reasonable price for the size of this cookie as well as the delicious taste. Biscuit Chocolat This cookie is big enough to easily share with others, and it’s nice and thick and beautifully baked. But it IS just a chocolate chip cookie, so you might want to skip for a more unique treat at Les Halles. Read about the DFB Disney World cookie crawl here! Brioche Au Chocolat On the right in this photo is the Brioche Au Chocolat, which is $4.25 and basically a chocolate chip brioche. This is a pretty large sweet roll with big chocolate chunks inside. Brioche au Chocolat We love brioche so adding chocolate pieces is just a delicious added bonus! Again, this is a shareable treat under $5, so you might want to give it a try. Croissant Amandes A chocolate croissant with almond filling, the Croissant Amandes is $5.75. This croissant is topped with powdered sugar as well as candied and regular almonds. Croissant Amandes With the combo of the chocolate in the croissant and the crunchy almonds, we loved it! But be warned — this is a very sweet treat. Parfait aux Fruits The Parfait aux Fruits is made with yogurt, berries, and mousse for $6.50, and it’s not your typical fruit parfait. Along with fresh raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries, you’ll find a sweet berry glaze in the middle. The mousse has a yogurt base but it’s sweetened so that the yogurt tang is still there but there’s no bitterness. Parfait aux Fruits This refreshing treat is light and airy and it’s a great for people who aren’t really into overly heavy sweet treats! Check out our full review of the Parfait aux Fruits here! Mousse Au Chocolat The Mousse Au Chocolat is, well, chocolate mousse, and it costs $6.50. This mousse is rich, but at the same time it’s also light and creamy. It’s more of a lighter option for chocolate lovers, which is good if you’re looking for something sweet that won’t fill you up! Mousse au Chocolat The crunchy garnish on top adds a nice dimension to the mousse, too! Here’s our full review of the Mousse au Chocolat! Duo Au Chocolat Are you a chocolate person? You need to try the Duo Au Chocolat, a chocolate mousse cake, for $6.50. This chocolate treat comes shaped like a dome with a small chocolate topper and almonds around the base. The main event is in the center, which has white and dark chocolate mousse layered over a chocolate cake base. Duo au Chocolat The mousse is light and the white chocolate balances nicely with the dark chocolate. This is a must-have treat for chocoholics in EPCOT. Here’s our full review of the Duo Au Chocolat! Macaron Lime Raspberry The Macaron Lime Raspberry is made with raspberries and lime cream for $6.25. Inside the macaron is a raspberry jam, and the sweet lime cream balances out the tart raspberries. Raspberry Lime Macaron If you’re craving a real Parisian macaron these might not quite live up to your expectations, but they’re certainly a next best thing! Read our full review of the Macaron Lime Raspberry here! Napoleon For $5.75 you can get a Napoleon, or a puff pastry with cream. There is a glazed sugar fondant on top with a light cream interior. This pastry has actually been changed over the years, eventually landing at this more traditional presentation of a French Napoleon. Napoleon at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. This pastry might get a bit messy so you probably want to grab some napkins before you take a bite! Check out our full review of the Napoleon here! Macarons Collection Want some goodies that are easy to take with you? Get the Macarons Collection for $11.95, which includes six different macarons in flavors like pistachio, vanilla, and chocolate. Les Halles Macaron Collection This packaging reduces the use of plastic AND it’s a great way to keep your macarons from getting smushed! Read more about the Macarons Collection here! Buche de Noel The Buche de Noel is a holiday treat that we’ve seen in the past, and in 2021 it received a huge makeover. It was priced at $8.75, and was basically a red log filled with dark chocolate mousse, mint cream, peppermint candies, and a chocolate biscuit. The NEW Buche de Noel! While this is a beautiful treat, the mint and peppermint flavors are kind of subtle, so if you’re looking for BIG flavors this isn’t the treat for you. But if you like Christmas treats and you don’t need a strong mint, give it a try! It tends to return seasonally each year. Read our Buche de Noel full review here! Phew, that’s a LOT of goodies to eat at Les Halles Boulangerie in EPCOT! Stop by this bakery in the France pavilion. Keep reading DFB for more Disney World food reviews and news!

We’re seeing all kinds of cute treats pop up around Disney World for Easter! It’s Easter time! So far, we’ve tried a delicious cupcake and an Easter Minnie caramel apple, along with several other tasty treats! And we’re also taking part in some fun Easter traditions, like the EPCOT Easter Egg Hunt. We’ll keep trying all of Disney’s Easter goodies so you know which ones are the best, and we just tried two more at Disney’s Beach Club Resort! Over at the Beach Club Marketplace in Disney’s Beach Club Resort, we picked up some new Easter treats! We tried the Robin’s Egg Blueberry Macarons and a Minnie Chocolate Easter Egg, and they were both super yummy. The Robin’s Egg Blueberry Macarons were $6.49, and included 3 vanilla macarons with blueberry filling in a nest of milk chocolate krispies, and the Minnie Mouse Easter Egg was a giant milk chocolate egg for $23.99! Beach Club Marketplace Let’s start with the macarons! These were absolutely delicious, and we could eat the chocolate krispies all day. Everything tasted so fresh, and the balance between the crunchy vanilla cookie and the blueberry filling was perfect! Robin’s Egg Macarons The macarons were nice and light while still packing great fruit flavor. These were one of our favorite macarons we’ve tried in Disney World! Blueberry filling! Now on to the Minnie Easter Egg! This giant egg was made out of milk chocolate with fondant details and red candy coating. The chocolate was super yummy, and the Florida heat made it a little melty, which we actually really liked! Minnie Easter Egg The chocolate itself was super rich and didn’t taste artificial at all. We didn’t like the fondant and candy coating as much, but there was so much chocolate in this egg that we didn’t really mind too much. The only downside to this treat is that it’s $24, which is pretty pricey even though it is gorgeous. Yummy chocolate! But if you’re a big fan of all things chocolate, you should definitely check out this giant chocolate egg! That’s all for these Easter treats, but stay tuned to DFB for all of the latest Disney snack updates. Click here to see our review of a Disney World drink with a marshmallow PEEP in it!

Happy April, everyone! Have you realized that Easter is only a few weeks away? Easter Cupcake! We’re already seeing a ton of new Easter snacks at Disney World, an entirely new pop-up shop at the Grand Floridian dedicated to Easter treats, and elaborate chocolate Easter egg displays at the hotels. Speaking of which, we’ve got two NEW displays to share with you today, and one of them has a chocolate egg dedicated to a very underrated Disney movie! Okay Zootopia fans, if you love the movie as much as we do, you’re going to lose your mind in a minute. Because the chocolate Easter egg display over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort has a Zootopia Egg with Judy and Nick! Isn’t it amazing? You guys. It’s ZOOTOPIA! But that’s just the beginning. Because there are a ton of other gorgeous eggs at the Beach Club too, including an Ursula Egg (oh, you poor unfortunate souls)… Poor Unfortunate Souls …a Te Fiti Egg from Moana… Te Fiti …a Chocolate Stitch with a Scrump Egg (okay, that is too sweet!)… Stitch …a Steamboat Willie Egg that’s designed to look like the Steamboat Willie popcorn bucket from the parks… Steamboat Willie Egg! …fun Mickey and Minnie Eggs… Mickey and Minnie …and even an egg from the “Kiss The Girl” scene from The Little Mermaid. One thing that always impresses us about these works of art is the level of detail Disney bakers put into each creation. Just take a look at this thing! Ariel and Eric There was also a cute Chocolate Duffy Bears Sculpture. Y’all — they have Mickey heads ON THEIR FEET. These bears are cute When we were done gawking at the eggs at the Beach Club hotel, we headed over to Disney’s Contemporary Resort and looked at even MORE amazing chocolate eggs! The designs here were just as beautiful — look at this Mad Hatter-inspired Egg. We’re all mad here… We even saw an egg dedicated to “it’s a small world,” complete with all those lovely Mary Blair-inspired touches. it’s a small world There were so many eggs in the display, we could barely keep track of them all. We love the 50th Anniversary Egg here, along with the Pineapple Egg and the Alice in Wonderland Egg. But check out that sweet personalized egg from the Contemporary Bakery — it has the names of all the bakery’s Cast Members on it! GORGEOUS This Candle Egg looks almost real. Candle And this Butterfly Egg has a lot of whimsy. Whimsical We also found another 50th Anniversary Egg hiding in this display! 50th Anniversary Egg Just look at more of these beautiful designs — where do the bakery chefs get these ideas? How do they do that? TOO pretty to eat! Finishing out this display, there was a Golden Egg! Golden Egg If you happen to be at Disney World around Easter, we highly recommend checking out all the chocolate Easter egg displays at the hotel. These edible works of art will be gone after Easter, so see them while you can! In the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for more news from Disney World, Disneyland, and more.

The Seven Dwarfs have more than just a mine train in Magic Kingdom! It’s Doc! Storybook Treats in Fantasyland makes specialty soft-serve cones based on the Seven Dwarfs! These cones disappeared for a little bit, but they’re finally back. We’ve tried a Cranberry-flavored Grumpy cone and a Caramel, Chocolate, and Espresso cone themed to Doc. Today, we got to try a NEW one! The Sneezy Cone is now available at Storybook Treats! This cone has Chocolate Barqs Root Beer and vanilla swirled ice cream, and it’s topped with a white chocolate belt buckle and Sneezy coin. This soft-serve is $5.99. So how does it compare with the other flavors? Hey, Sneezy! We thought this cone was very tasty! The root beer flavor was subtle and not overpowering, so it mainly tasted like a chocolate and vanilla swirled ice cream cone. There’s a hint of root beer flavor at the end of it, which made this a fun twist on a classic cone! Tasty! It was pretty sweet, and we kind of wished that there had been something brighter in the flavors, or that it had some sort of fizzy element since it’s based on a soda. We feel like we should say “bless you” to this ice cream If you like root beer or soda, then you should definitely give this treat a try. And regardless of the taste, it certainly makes for some really cute pictures. Overall, this was a super fun addition to the Seven Dwarfs cone lineup! Sneezy! We’re always on the hunt for all of the newest treats in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates!

It may only be April 1st, but Disney World is already celebrating Easter with new treats, an egg hunt, giant chocolate eggs, and more! Easter Bunny Cupcake While we’ve been busy trying all the new springtime goodies, we visited Disney’s BoardWalk for not one, not two, but THREE new April drinks! And y’all — marshmallow PEEPS are involved. The Easter Hunt — Leaping Horse Libations We first visited Leaping Horse Librations, the pool bar located at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. The new featured April drink is The Easter Hunt, made with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Midori Liqueur, and Pina Colada Mix for $15. The sign says the drink is garnished with Maraschino Cherries, but our garnishments were Jelly Beans and a Peep. Leaping Horse Libations This is a perfect poolside drink! It’s very sweet with the Midori (melon liqueur), coconut rum, and Pina Colada mix, but on a hot day, it would be very refreshing. We loved the Peep and the jelly beans, but the jelly beans will harden fast in the frozen drink, so if you want to eat them, make sure you remove them after you snag your cute poolside picture! The Easter Hunt The drink is also garnished with green sugar, and we recommend stirring your drink to blend all the flavors together! Leaping Horse Libations opens at 11AM daily. Easter Basket — Boardwalk Joe’s The Easter Basket is another frozen drink that comes with a Peep and Jelly Beans, made with Empress Gin, Bols Creme de Banana Liqueur, Grenadine, and Pineapple Smoothie for $16. You can find this April drink at BoardWalk Joe’s. Boardwalk Joe’s This drink was SO good. We thought the colorful layers in the drink were really fun, but we opted to mix it up so that the gin and banana liqueur were blended into the pineapple smoothie. Our reporter who tried this is not a big gin drinker, but they loved it! It wasn’t too sweet, yet still fruity and refreshing. The purple color comes from the Empress Gin, and the banana mixed with the pineapple really works. Easter Basket BoardWalk Joe’s opens at 12PM, and keep our jelly bean warning in mind for this drink too — if you leave them in the drink too long, they’re not really edible! Cotton Tails Daiquiri — The Belle Vue Lounge Our final drink comes from the Belle Vue Lounge, located off the lobby of the BoardWalk Inn. The Cotton Tails Daiquri is made with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, Chambord Liquer, Pure Cane Syrup, Lime Juice, and Raspberry Juice, and garnished with an Orange Peel for $13. Cotton Tails Daquiri Now this is a gorgeous drink! We thought that the spiced rum and Chambord worked beautifully together with the mixture of the raspberry flavor from the Chambord and the raspberry juice. The lime juice cuts the flavors a bit and adds to the spiciness coming from the rum, and the pure cane syrup gives it some sweetness. This is a fun spin on a daiquiri and feels more like you’re sipping on a martini! Cotton Tails Daiquiri And again, we’re here to tell you to stir your drink! It’s so pretty with the layers, but you want to taste all the flavors together. Grab your picture for the ‘gram and then stir away to bliss! The Belle Vue Lounge typically opens around 4 or 5PM. Overall While The Easter Hunt is perfect for the pool, it was a bit too sweet for us. The Cotton Tail and the Easter Basket surprised us, and we really enjoyed them both! Try one or all three of these drinks in April on Disney’s BoardWalk, and keep following DFB for more Disney snack and drink news! Where to get an EPIC Disney treat without a park ticket!

It’s (almost) always ice cream season in Florida! Disney Springs While the weather hasn’t totally cooperated lately, we know sunny skies and sweltering days are right around the corner. With spring here and summery weather arriving, we’re getting SO excited for the opening of another frozen treat spot — Salt & Straw in Disney Springs. And seeing the latest flavors this company has planned for their existing locations is just making us even MORE excited for the shop to open in Disney World! Salt & Straw already has locations all over the West Coast — including one in Downtown Disney — and a few in Miami. The family-run shop features unique ice cream flavors and fun milkshakes. And they just announced a fun, limited-time menu inspired by some super creative kids. Salt & Straw offered a sneak peek at some unique flavors that were inspired by stories made up by children! Bottomless Limes mixes ribbons of key lime cheesecake with shards of sprinkle-studded chocolate bark and hunks of golden pie crust, crystallized with brown sugar and ginger. Triple Tropic Twist features wildly fruity raspberry sherbet with a citrus mousse swirl and bright mango-pineapple jelly. Rosie the Pink Flamingo combines bright strawberry ice cream, house-made gummies, and loads of pink sprinkles. ©Salt & Straw You can find these and other flavors from the Student Inventors series at Salt & Straw scoop shops now, including the one in Downtown Disney!

Hello from Disneyland Park in Disneyland Resort! Sleeping Beauty Castle We’re checking out all there is to see and do in Disneyland — like trying the new GIANT mozzarella stick; possibly catching a glimpse of Marvel’s newest superhero to gain his own series, Moon Knight; and patiently waiting until Hyperspace Mountain returns. But, we recently spotted a whole bunch of new Minnie ears that dropped in Disneyland, so let’s check them out! We found all of these over at the Emporium, and we really can’t decide which ones we like best! First, these bright and shiny Kelly Green Sequin Minnie Ears caught our eye.

Click Here to Shop the Green Sequin Minnie Ears If green sequins aren’t your thing, but GOLD sequins are, why not try these NEW Gold Sequin Minnie Ears! So shiny and new.

Easter is right around the corner, and Disney World is going all out! Contemporary Resort Disney World is getting ready for this holiday with exclusive treats, an Easter Egg Hunt, and some beautiful chocolate egg creations! We’re trying a whole bunch of Disney World’s 2022 Easter treats, and today we found quite possibly the most beautiful holiday cupcake there is! We tried the Easter Bunny Cupcake from the Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! This carrot cake cupcake had cream cheese filling and was topped with vanilla buttercream. The top had colorful frosting and white chocolate Easter Bunny ears! This cupcake was absolutely delicious, and for $5.99, we definitely think it’s worth it. And isn’t it just so pretty?? Easter Bunny Cupcake If you like carrot cake even a little bit, then you have to try this cupcake. The spices and cinnamon in the cake paired perfectly with the carrot, and there was something upscale, yet homey about it. The cake wasn’t too dense, and you could still taste the great flavors from the buttercream and cream cheese! The frosting is so cute! This cupcake is both gorgeous AND delicious — it truly has it all! The cream cheese filling gave the cupcake a great tang, and we really appreciated the balance of flavors in this treat! We loved the cream cheese filling! If you’re not a big cinnamon fan, then you might want to skip this cupcake. But we absolutely loved this cupcake, so if you need a yummy easter snack, then you gotta try this!
