Disney World posted this short video on their Twitter account today. It’s an Awesome Mix tape like we see in both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, except this one is Volume Cosmic Rewind. The video kicks off with music, but then, the music cuts out and the writing on the tape switches just to say “Monday.” That means something is happening on Monday, people!!!

If you’re planning a vacation to Disney World soon, there’s one thing you CAN’T forget to do! Magic Kingdom That’s right, we’re talking about Disney Park Pass Reservations! In order to visit any of the four theme parks, you’ll need to make your reservation in advance…for EVERY member of your party with a theme park ticket. And we’ve shared in the past what the hardest days to snag reservations for are, but which are the EASIEST? Well, we’re breaking it down so that your reservation-making can be hassle-free! Magic Kingdom Let’s start things off with Magic Kingdom! This (surprisingly!) isn’t the park that typically fills up the fastest, but it is VERY hard to get into on the weekends. Guests coming into town for a weekend getaway often prioritize Magic Kingdom since it’s the OG Disney World park, so you’ll find it to be much busier on Saturdays and Sundays. Magic Kingdom So what’s our advice? Well, if you’re trying to snag a park pass for Magic Kingdom, aim for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. That’s avoiding most guests’ first and last days in the parks (which are popular times to visit Magic Kingdom), and it’s also avoiding holiday weekends or weekend events (like runDisney races). Also, you’ll definitely want to book Magic Kingdom more than a few weeks out in the off-season, and possibly a few months out during the busy season, considering it’s a hot commodity. ©Disney If you’re trying to book some last-minute Disney Park Passes, there’s a good chance that Magic Kingdom is already filled up. EPCOT This may come as a surprise, but EPCOT seems to be the park that is the EASIEST to get into, based on our research. It’s available for most days of the week fairly frequently, although we have seen it fill up on Fridays and Saturdays from time to time, especially for Annual Passholders who like to stop by for a quick stroll around the World Showcase and a bite to eat. EPCOT However, if it’s not a runDisney race weekend or the beginning or end of an EPCOT festival, you should be able to consistently score EPCOT park passes within a few weeks of your visit for Sunday-Thursday. It’s often the last pass available, so sometimes you may find that the park empties out in the afternoon, considering some guests just book EPCOT to get into a park, then hop over to the one that they REALLY want to visit. ©Disney Basically, EPCOT is going to be busier (and probably a little rowdier) on Friday and Saturday nights. Visiting during the daytime during any other part of the week is usually a good move. Hollywood Studios Okay, now it’s time to talk about the hardest-to-get Park Pass in Disney World — Hollywood Studios! Why is this one so popular? Well, with heavy-hitters like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, this is a must-visit destination for many. In fact, for many guests taking short trips, this park is landing as a priority, getting chosen alongside Magic Kingdom over Animal Kingdom or EPCOT. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Entrance So how do you score a Park Pass for Hollywood Studios? Well, first of all, you ESPECIALLY need to avoid weekends and any holidays when booking here, unless you’re making your reservation several months in advance. (And even then, you may want to avoid it for crowds’ sake.) Like Magic Kingdom, your best bets are Tuesday-Thursday for the lowest crowds. If you visit on the lower crowd days, you also have a better chance of getting the Genie+ selections you want or spending less time waiting in line. ©Disney Hollywood Studios can be a tricky reservation to snag, so we recommend making this one at least a month in advance for the off-season, and ASAP for the holiday dates or summer break. Animal Kingdom And finally, let’s talk about Animal Kingdom. Even though this one is more popular than EPCOT, it seems to be the easiest of the four to score on the weekends. While locals flock to EPCOT for dinner on the weekends, Animal Kingdom crowds are spread pretty evenly throughout the week. Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom will usually fill up a week or two ahead of time, starting with the Friday-Monday dates. If you’re booking farther in advance, you should easily be able to pick any day of the week, but when it gets down to the wire, you’ll be left with mid-week options. ©Disney So that’s a full breakdown of the four parks and what days are easiest to book their Park Passes. Keep in mind that in general, holidays, Federal holiday weekends, weekends in the summer, and dates during Disney events fill up quickly. We pretty much always recommend booking your Park Passes as soon as you purchase your tickets, just in case.

The past few weeks have been full of updates regarding what critics call Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. We’ve seen Disney issue statements, former Disney executives speak up about the issue, and more. Welcome to Disney World Another specific thing we’ve seen is how legislators and governors have responded to Disney’s statements. California Governor Gavin Newsom has made comments to Disney via Twitter, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has also spoken out in response to Disney’s actions. Recently we shared how some legislators have been meeting to potentially recall an act that is key to how Disney operates in Florida. And now Governor DeSantis has commented on this issue. As a source of background, after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill into law, Disney issued a statement indicating that the bill never should have been passed or signed into law, and that their goal would be for the bill (now law) to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts. Governor DeSantis responded, saying that Disney’s comments about working to repeal the law have “crossed a line.” ©Deadline We recently shared that Spencer Roach, a Republican Representative in Florida’s House of Representatives (representing District 79) posted a Tweet about Disney, the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill, and what actions some legislators have been considering. Representative Roach said that some Florida legislators recently had 2 meetings (in one week) to discuss the repeal of the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act. This act essentially allows Disney to act as its own government in Florida. Roach said “If Disney wants to embrace woke ideology, it seems fitting that they should be regulated by Orange County.” For a more in-depth discussion regarding the Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID), click here. In essence, as we mentioned above, the RCID is essential to how Disney operates. The RCID basically has jurisdiction over Disney World property, so it essentially functions like its own separate county. The way the RCID is set up allows Disney to have a significant amount of freedom and power over making decisions for things in the district. The Reedy Creek website notes that the RCID is tasked with overseeing land use, providing essential services, regulating certain building codes, and operating all public roadways. If the RCID were to be done away with, it could mean BIG changes in terms of how Disney operates and would force Disney to turn to county government leaders and regulators to get approval on all kinds of different projects. Click here for more on the RCID According to Click Orlando, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has now made comments regarding the potential repeal of the act that basically created the RCID. Click Orlando shares that DeSantis indicated that the repeal of the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act (the “Act”) would not be done just as a form of retaliation against Disney and their response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. But, instead, DeSantis reportedly said that the repeal of the Act could be part of a larger effort to strip Disney of what DeSantis has termed “special privileges.” Reedy Creek Fire Department ©Reedy Creek DeSantis said, “I would not say that that’d be retaliatory. I mean, the way I view it is, you know, there are certain entities that have exerted a lot of influence through corporate means to generate special privileges in the law…I don’t think we should have special privileges in the law at all.” (Click Orlando) ©The Florida Channel | Courtesy of WTVT During the news conference, DeSantis also brought up the “Social Media Platforms” bill, which he signed into law back in May of 2021. Click Orlando shares that DeSantis said the idea behind the Social Media Platforms law was “to allow people to sue companies such as Twitter and Facebook for ‘big tech censorship’ and “protect political candidates from being de-platformed.” He claimed that an “’11th hour’ change to the text of the bill served to protect theme parks from such legal avenues.” According to DeSantis, “that was meant solely to protect Disney. And I opposed that when it happened.” But, instead of vetoing the bill, the Governor signed the law. DeSantis shared that the signing of that legislation was an example of “the one time they (Disney) got something” while he has been in office. DeSantis then indicated that “special privileges in the law” should be “reevaulated in Florida.” ©Fox10 News | Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Speaking about the “Don’t Say Gay” bill and Disney’s response, DeSantis said, “I think that’s one of the reasons they’ve got so far over their skis on this on this parental rights stuff, because I think they’re used to having their way and they’re not used to having people that will stand in their way and say, ‘Actually, the state of Florida is going to be governed by the best interest of the people in Florida’…You know, we’re certainly not going to bend a knee to woke executives in California. That is not the way the state’s going to be run.” DeSantis also later said, “You should not have one organization that is able to dictate policy in all these different realms, and they have done that for many, many years. And if that stops now, which it should, that would be a good thing for Florida.” Pride wall in Disney Springs This is a developing situation, check back for more updates.

There are a lot of great options if you’re looking to “drink around the world” in EPCOT, but there’s one that tops the list for many guests. La Cava del Tequila La Cava del Tequila is located in the Mexico pavilion of World Showcase, and it’s one of the most popular watering holes in all of Disney World — and for good reason. Today, we stopped by for the delicious Lily Margarita and some chips and guac, but while we were there, a different drink caught our eye! Is this one worth foregoing the classic margarita? Let’s find out! Inside La Cava del Tequila, you’ll find plenty of options for various cocktails but their specialty is the margarita (in many forms). Today, however, we saw a placard for a different drink — the Oaxacan Mule. Oaxacan Mule This drink isn’t new (a Cast Member told us it’s been around for a couple of months), but we’ve been distracted by some other new drinks here and haven’t had the chance to try it out yet! Now, we’re happy to remedy that omission. The Oaxacan Mule is made with Ilegal reposado mezcal, Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, fresh lime juice, and Fever-Tree Ginger beer. It costs $20. Let’s try it! Our first impression — this is a very tasty mule! It tasted like a normal Moscow mule but with a little bit of a smoky flavor from that mezcal, which replaced the vodka. Yum! We really enjoyed the mezcal in it because it had just the right amount of smokiness to offset the sweetness from the ginger beer and lime juice. Other options — like tequila or vodka — would probably have made the drink too sweet for our taste. Like a normal mule but with mezcal Although we have no complaints when it comes to this drink, we probably wouldn’t advise you to get it over one of the many margarita options here. Margs are what this spot is known for, so you don’t want to miss out on a classic! But if you’re a big fan of mules or if you come here often and want to try something new, we don’t think you’ll go wrong with the Oaxacan Mule. Consider a classic marg, but this is still good!

If you haven’t been to Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently, you are seriously missing out. Echo Lake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios But don’t worry, we’re in the Disney World parks EVERY DAY looking out for the latest news, foods, and merch to share with you! So without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s new in Hollywood Studios! Hollywood Studios Food Updates Backlot Express We popped on over to this “Warehouse of Good Eating” because we heard they added some new items to their menu — and they certainly did! We started with the Southwest Salad ($9.99). New items at Backlot Express It comes with romaine lettuce, roasted corn relish, diced tomatoes, pickled red onion, feta cheese, and a house-made jalapeño lime ranch dressing. We were a bit disappointed with this salad, as it had great potential but just fell flat in our opinion. Southwest Salad Then, we tried the new Teriyaki Chicken Bowl for $12.99. It’s made with seasoned jasmine rice, teriyaki chicken, yuzu-pickled edamame, carrots, cucumber, and onions drizzled with house-made lemon-tahini-chipotle vinaigrette and sesame seeds. We enjoyed this dish and thought the flavors went really well together! Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Last but not least, we tried the Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Burger for $14.29. It’s a 1/3 pound burger topped with slow-smoked pulled pork, American cheese, coleslaw, crispy onions, and house-made sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce. Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Burger The pork really stood out on this burger and was by far our favorite part! Check Out Our FULL Review of the New Backlot Express Menu Items Here Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates Majestic Theater Shop Fans of the famous fairy from Peter Pan will be glad to know we spotted these adorable Tinker Bell Bike Shorts on our recent trip to Hollywood Studios.

With so many exciting updates happening all throughout Disney World, it can be easy to forget that we’re still celebrating Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! Cinderella Castle We’ve seen brand new shows emerge due to this golden anniversary, along with delicious new treats and of course — all the merchandise you could ever possibly want. But today, we spotted something a little bit different in terms of Disney World 50th Anniversary souvenirs — a soda bottle! In celebration of Disney World and Coca-Cola’s 50-year long (!!!) partnership, Disney and Coke have partnered with former Disney star Sofia Carson to bring us five uniquely designed collectible bottles. But, what we think is the COOLEST part about the new design is that it features the same shape as the Coca-Cola bottles you would have found in Disney World way back in 1971 when the park opened! The prettiest soda bottle we’ve ever seen! So, if you’ve got a hankerin’ for a cold Coca-Cola (sorry, no sarsaparilla options), head on over to your favorite Disney park and get a souvenir bottle to take home with ya! 50th Anniversary Coke Bottle And don’t forget to stay tuned to DFB for more Disney parks news.

For the first time since March 2020, guests can celebrate new milestones and stay in the magic at all Disney Resort hotels that are part of the Disney Resorts Collection at Walt Disney World. View the full article

Disney World has already returned to “normal” in many ways, and today was just more proof of that. Disney World entrance Many hotels, restaurants, activities, and attractions have reopened throughout the Most Magical Place on Earth, and more reopenings are on the way. Today, another piece of Disney World became available again for fans to enjoy. “What happened?” you say? Well, Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort reopened today and we went to check it out! Why is this moment so huge? Well, it’s because for the very first time in over 2 years — we can officially say that every resort in Disney World is OPEN! Arrival On the main building you’ll find a GIANT star (an icon of all 3 All-Star Resorts, hence the all star name). If you drive right up to the giant star, you’ll find a covered area at the entrance to the hotel, which you can use to drop off your family and bags. GIANT Star The main building is predominantly blue with lots of white stars on it, and you’ll see the All-Star Sports name near the back, with some more stars all around. Gosh, they really love their stars here don’t they?! Can’t miss it! This back area is the bus stop pick-up spot for the hotel, so you’ll want to head here to grab a Disney bus to your favorite parks. Where you’ll catch buses to the parks! Alright, enough about the outside. Let’s go inside the hotel! Like the other All-Star Resorts, the theming here is the typical LARGER THAN LIFE theming you’re used to seeing at Disney’s Value Resorts. You’ll find GIANT Coca-Cola cans, footballs and football helmets, tennis rackets, basketballs, and more! Lobby & Main Building Area In the main building, you’ll find the Resort’s lobby. You can come here to check in to your room or otherwise speak with the Cast Members when you need assistance. Much like the other All-Star Resorts (and some other Disney World hotels) the front desk here is now really a series of little desks (rather than one central, large one. You’ll find smaller desks spread out throughout one area of the space, with Cast Members stationed at each one. Want to skip the front desk experience entirely? Remember that you can use Disney’s direct-to-room service by using Online Check-In. Lobby In the lobby, you’ll find details and designs meant to evoke that sports theme that carries throughout the entire hotel. White stars abound on the blue background. Take a close look at the outlined designs near the check-in area to see how many sports you can identify! Also in the lobby you’ll find a small seating area for guests… . Seating area When it comes to checking out of your hotel, remember that you can utilize Disney’s express checkout service. A new app-based check-out service is also being rolled out at select Disney World hotels. While it isn’t available at All-Star Sports just yet, we’ll be on the lookout for more updates. The front desk had balloons to celebrate the resort’s reopening, and there were signs welcoming guests back to the hotel. Welcome back! Be sure to check out the hotel activities, too — there are loads of things to keep you entertained! Activities Closer to the back of the lobby/main building area, you’ll find the All-Star Sports Hall of Fame (similar to the Hall of Fame you’ll find at some of the other All-Star resorts). Here, you can take a look at some of the monuments accomplishments of stellar athletes. Seriously, we wouldn’t blame you if you see these photos and suddenly feel inspired to take up beach volleyball or figure skating (similar to how some of us might feel after watching the Olympics — it just all looks so epic!!). Hall of Fame A nice feature of this area is that it has tons of natural light, making the whole space feel really bright. The main building isn’t just home to check-in desks though, it’s also got some food and shopping. Let’s tackle that now! Dining and Shopping In terms of food, the main dining option at All-Star Sports is its food court — the End Zone Food Court. The entire place is themed to…you guessed it, SPORTS! You’ll find all kinds of details throughout the space showcasing Disney characters like Pluto, Mickey, and more, all participating in sports activities. This spot serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner and has some of your more “standard” theme park fare. At breakfast, you can grab Mickey waffles, an omelet, a bagel sandwich, and some other items. ©Disney At lunch and dinner, you’ll find the same menu. Options include a cheeseburger, chicken strips, a more unique Pimento Bacon Cheeseburger, pizza… ©Disney …a salmon dinner, and other options. ©Disney All meal times also include kids meal options, and you’ll generally find a number of treats in the bakery, as well as some grab-and-go snacks, fresh fruits, and beverages. In terms of other dining/drink options, you can also head over to Grandstand Spirits, the pool bar. Here’ you’ll find some alcoholic beverages like margaritas and more. Let’s hit the bar! In terms of shopping, All-Star Sports’ gift shop is located in the main building and is called Sport Goofy Gifts and Sundries. This is your go-to place for souvenirs and more while at the hotel. Here, you’ll find sports apparel, souvenirs themed to the hotel, and some classic Disney ears and other items. There are also some snacks and essential supplies (like first-aid related things). Shopping! Just keep in mind that the essential supplies and snacks here will cost you a premium, so you might want to stop by a grocery store or order items be delivered to the hotel from a local store instead! Outdoor Areas & Pools In terms of other pools, you’ll find 2 different pools at All-Star Sports. First, there’s the Surfboard Bay Pool, in the surfboard-themed area. Fun fact: the pool is actually a 242,471-gallon swimming pool! It’s got surfboards lining the area, and more! There’s also a kiddie pool nearby for the little ones. The main pool In another part of the resort, you’ll find the Grand Slam Pool. This pool is actually shaped like a baseball diamond (appropriate!) and features Goofy standing on the pitchers mound! The sundeck is also themed to look like an outfield and there are GIANT baseball bats lining the whole pool area. Note that there are complimentary towels in the pool areas. Guest Rooms & Surrounding Areas In terms of guest rooms, the rooms generally sleep 4 adult guests. There are standard rooms, or preferred rooms. The preferred rooms are closer to Stadium Hall (the main building), as well as the shopping, dining, and transportation located near there. We’ll be sharing a FULL room tour soon, so stay tuned to that! The rooms And that’s it for now from the reopening of All-Star Sports.

Disney Character Greetings Returning This Spring | Disney ParksView the full article

When you’re visiting Disneyland, you can complete a mission for the resistance on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or even put your superhero skills to the test in Avengers Campus. But, if you’re looking for a real throwback (and some tasty eats), then you might want to head over to Alien Pizza Planet in Tomorrowland! Alien Pizza Planet Pizza Planet may be a faint memory in Disney World (as it was replaced by PizzeRizzo in 2016), but it can still be found in Disneyland at the former location of Redd Rockett’s Pizza Port! The restaurant was rethemed “temporarily” back in 2018 for Pixar Fest and it just never went away. It is now home to quick “out-of-this-world” Italian fare including an appropriately themed dessert (more on that later) and we’re headed back to the Quick Service restaurant to see if it’s still a meal that you simply can’t refuse! Atmosphere When you first arrive at (or even pass by) Alien Pizza Planet, you’ll instantly be thrown back into the 1995 Disney movie, Toy Story. Little Green Aliens are almost everywhere you look and you’ll recognize the red and white rocket out front from the actual restaurant in the movie. Let’s head inside! And, the theming only continues inside! In the dining room, you’ll find more Green Aliens hanging from the ceiling… Don’t forget to look up! …and the walls are covered in travel posters advertising locations where the aliens might want to vacation to themselves like Otamot, the “sauciest spot in the marinara way.” Posters! And Vertintinnabulus where you can “see the colorful seed springs!” Would you want to travel here? The idea is that these are all planets of the Marinara Way, and you can see where all of the planets are in the solar system on one poster. Be sure to pay attention to the details in this one because you might recognize that some of the planets look strikingly similar to common Italian eats and toppings! Check out the posters! And, as a popular spot to eat during the day in Disneyland, there’s plenty of seating to meet the needs! Inside, you’ll find a large dining room with standard tables and chairs… Indoor Dining Room …plus, there are a few booths in an area of the dining room that is less Toy Story-themed. Dining Room And, if you’d prefer to soak in some fresh air, there’s also outdoor seating that has some shading and faces Space Mountain. Outdoor Seating Area When it comes to dining at this Quick Service location, you have a few different options. Alien Pizza Planet does accept Mobile Order through the Disneyland app, so you can select your pick-up window and have your meal ready for you at the Mobile Order return window. We will note, however, that in our experience mobile ordering can take a little while depending on when you visit, as the spot is pretty busy during the traditional lunch and dinner times. Mobile Order! You don’t necessarily need to Mobile Order though, as the restaurant does still serve food cafeteria-style. So, you can also opt to walk up and grab your food… Pick your food! …and then head to a register where a Cast Member will ring up your order and process payment. Walk-up is still an option Fountain drinks are then available at a self-serve station. You can even get refills here! While Alien Pizza Planet is considered a relatively cheap Quick Service spot to dine already (for Disney standards, at least), Magic Key holders can dine for even less as they are eligible for a discount. Dream Key Passholders receive a 15% discount, and Believe, Enchant, and Imagine Key Passholders receive a 10% discount. To save you’ll need to either have your Magic Key connected to your Disneyland account when you place your mobile order or present proof of your Magic Key holder status at the counter. Now, let’s take a look at what’s up for grabs! Eats The menu here is pretty straightforward, with the same offerings available for both lunch and dinner. If you’re looking for pasta, your only option will be the Count Down Chicken Fusilli… ©Disney …and pizza lovers will find the classics (like pepperoni and cheese) plus there’s one specialty pizza option — the Spicy Char Siu Pork Pizza. All of the pizza is served by the slice. ©Disney To make it a full meal, there are three different salads (though the Astro Antipasto Salad and Centurion Caesar Salad are a bit bigger portion-wise) plus Garlon Bread (which is like garlic bread). ©Disney If you’ve got kiddos, they can choose from the Space-getti with Meatballs or the Kid-Size Cheese Pizza. Each is served with Carrots, a Cuties Mandarin, and choice of Small Lowfat Milk or Small Dasani Water. ©Disney And, the sole dessert option here is The Macarooooon. ©Disney The drink offerings here are pretty standard (despite their super fun name — “Lunar Liquids”) with things like fountain drinks, water, milk, coffee, and tea available. And, if you’d like something that you can take along with you, there’s a Travel Mug, Souvenir Sipper, and even a Reusable Cutlery Set available for purchase. ©Disney Plus, you can often find some seasonal offerings here! Right now, it’s the Alien-shaped Premium Sipper for $17.59. ©Disney And, if you have any allergy concerns, the allergy-friendly menu is available online. If an item is listed under your allergen then it is safe to eat! ©Disney Now, we’ve stopped by here from time to time to try specialty seasonal offerings, but it was about time we headed back for a full meal! So, we’re starting off how every satisfying meal should — with BREAD! The Garlon Bread comes with two breadsticks that are served warm with zesty Dipping Sauce for $4.99. Garlon Bread Now, we’re certainly not writing home about these breadsticks, but if ya eat ’em while they’re warm they’re a good compliment to your pasta, pizza, or salad. We would have loved to have some more marinara sauce to work with (the cup was about half full), but they get the job done. You might want some extra sauce if you’re big into dipping We also ordered up the Astro Antipasto Salad which is crisp Lettuce with Pepperoni, Tomatoes, Mixed Olives, Pepperoncini, fresh Mozzarella, Roasted Red Pepper, Artichoke Hearts, and Roasted Onion, with Balsamic Vinaigrette and Shaved Parmesan Cheese. Now, this is listed on the menu under “Sides,” but the serving is much more substantial than that for $10.49. The size of the salad is pretty comparable to the size of a pizza, so you could easily make this your entire meal if you’re looking for something a bit lighter and on the veggie side of things. And, it would be a pretty satisfying meal in our opinion! We thought that the produce tasted fresh and the pepperoni added a nice kick to every bite. We really appreciated the generous portion of cheese on top too. The only thing to note on this salad is that it comes with a balsamic vinaigrette (which compliments the ingredients well), so you’ll want to be sure you’re a fan of the dressing before you commit. Astro Antipasto Salad And, now for the real star of the menu — PIZZA! We’re starting off with the more adventurous choice here, the Spicy Char Siu Pork Pizza! This one is a pizza slice topped with Char Siu Pork, Pineapple, roasted Red Onions, Fresno Chiles, Mozzarella with Spiced Pizza Sauce. It’s also the most expensive pizza slice on the menu coming in at $8.99, but if you want something that’s not your standard everyday pizza, the little up-charge may be worth it! We’d compare this pizza most similar to a Hawaiian Pizza (and a really GOOD one at that), as the pork and the pineapples are the big flavor highlights. The pork is seasoned and cooked well, the pineapple adds a sweet taste, and the red onions add just a little bit of flavor. That being said, the slice certainly doesn’t live up to its “spicy” name, as we really only got one bite that seemed to have the Fresno Chiles. Spicy Char Siu Pork Pizza We also ordered a slice of the Mega Pepperoni Pizza, which has a Celestial Tomato Sauce topped with Mozzarella Cheese and extra large slices of Pepperoni for $8.49. Now, before you order up this pizza thinking that it’s an extra-large slice because of its “Mega” name, it’s important to note that it’s actually the pepperoni that is “mega,” and that might even be giving it too much credit. But, while you won’t get a ton of pepperoni slices on top (we only had two on ours), it’s still a staple for us whenever we’re looking for a Quick Service meal that we know we won’t be disappointed in. Why? Well, it’s just a good slice of pizza! But it could have used some more greasy pepperoni for sure. Mega Pepperoni Pizza Slice And, we couldn’t leave Alien Pizza Planet without getting the Toy Story-themed dessert that we mentioned earlier — The Macarooooon! You might recognize this green alien macaron from the Disneyland Pixar Fest and we’ve also tried a special Santa version of the treat for the holidays, but this iconic (and delicious) treat is on the menu here year round for $5.99. The Macarooooon Inside, you’ll find a fruity blackberry and lemon curd filling that we LOVE. Yummmmm You might want to be careful eating (or sharing) this one though — it falls apart REALLY easily (we’ve completely shattered ours by dropping it on the ground in the past). So, you’ll want to protect the goods and be careful when you transport it to your table. Nosh or Not Head to Alien Pizza Planet for a meal if: You’ve got picky eaters in your party! Pizza tends to be a big crowd-pleaser even for the pickiest eater, and the pizza here is GOOD! You want to eat in a fun Disney-themed atmosphere! Disney has put in the effort to make it feel like you’ve walked into Pizza Planet in Toy Story and we love the creativity that went into naming all of the goodies on the menu. You want a quick meal that will fill ya up for a relatively cheap price! You can get a full meal here for about $15 or less per person and dining here won’t suck up hours of your park day like a Table Service restaurant might. Steer clear of Alien Pizza Planet if: You’re looking for more than just basic theme park food! While you certainly can’t go wrong with pasta, pizza, and salad, there are plenty of other spots in Disneyland serving up fare that you won’t be able to order from a local restaurant at home. You want to avoid crowds! Alien Pizza Planet is a popular spot for guests to eat at for both lunch and dinner, so you might struggle to get your food quickly or find a seat during the big mealtimes of the day. You want more than pizza! With one pasta dish, three pizzas, three salads, and one dessert to choose from, there’s not much of a variety on the menu here and the standout is really the pizza. Overall All in all, you can’t go wrong when you choose to eat at Alien Pizza Planet for lunch or dinner in Disneyland — you likely won’t regret ordering anything here since it’s quite basic and it won’t break the bank! You’ll be fully immersed in the “Disney” atmosphere from the second you walk in and your picky eaters certainly won’t be complaining (unless they don’t like pizza, that is). If you’re looking for a healthy option, they’ve got a decent variety of salads, and they really set the standard for Disney pizza. Plus, we might even suggest heading here ONLY to get the adorable macaron for dessert (especially if you want something to pretty up your Insta feed).
