You may not be able to follow a rainbow to a pot of gold on St. Patrick’s Day in Disney World, but you CAN eat plenty of festive holiday treats to celebrate the occasion! Just when we FINALLY started to recover from the wave of blue-dyed treats for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, Disney decided to switch it up and go green for St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve been trying a LOT of green treats lately! And, today we’re back at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to try a St. Patrick’s Day cupcake (or should we say ANOTHER St. Patrick’s Day cupcake)! Before we show you the cupcake, we’re going to preface this with a note that the seasonal cupcake isn’t really NEW, it’s just green. We’ve tried many variations of this cupcake over the years in a range of colors — purple potion, millennial pink, imagination pink…you get the idea. Imagination Pink Cupcake This year, Disney took the classic Minnie Mouse ear hat cupcake and dressed it up for spring! The St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake is a green (yep, it’s GREEN) cupcake filled with gold crispy pearls and topped with buttercream, green sugar, shamrock sprinkles, and white chocolate Minnie hat. St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake from Contempo Cafe Even though this cupcake isn’t necessarily new, it’s still a REALLY good cupcake! The vanilla cake was fresh and moist, and there was an excellent cake-to-frosting ratio. And, SURPRISE — there’s a pot of gold inside! Well…not real gold, but you get the idea. We love the little crispy pearls! The crispy pearls on the inside make for a fun texture change and they add a nice crunch. We did find this cupcake to be on the messier side, and had to head straight to the bathroom to clean that green dye off of our hands right after! Hurry over to Contempo Cafe before it’s too late! The cupcake is $5.99 and would be a great treat for kids and adults alike who are looking for a simple dessert, but if you want to avoid having a green mess on your hands (literally), we’d skip this one! The St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake is available only for a short time, so make plans to visit the Contempo Café TODAY if you want to try this seasonal treat! And, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so be sure to stay tuned for more! REVIEW: WARNING You May End Up with a GREEN Mouth After Eating Disney’s New Treat!

Magic Kingdom is almost always pretty crowded, but recently it has been NEXT. LEVEL. Welcome to Magic Kingdom! The Spring Break crowds have descended upon Disney World, many of them headed to Magic Kingdom — and can you blame them? That view of Cinderella Castle can’t be beat! We’ve been eating our share of St. Patrick’s Day treats, checking out the new Easter balloon, and visiting all the shops to see what’s new and we’re compiling it below so that you know all the NEW things to looks for! So, let’s get on with it! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Uptown Jewelers Uptown Jewelers is usually THE place to look when it comes to new Disney designer collections and items. And, this week we spotted some new accessories! First up is the new dainty Tinker Bell Necklace for $40. Pretty crystal wings And, the NEW BaubleBar Princess and the Frog Minnie Ears are now available here too! The ears are made of soft green velour fabric and there’s a golden and jeweled tiara between each ear just like Tiana herself! A perfect Tiana green! We found the ears at both the Emporium and Fantasy Faire but you’ll want to keep in mind that they’re a little pricey — $49.99 to be exact! Check Out More Photos Of These Ears HERE! Disney Clothiers And, there was more new jewelry and headwear in Disney Clothiers!

Everybody likes to talk about the snacks that you can get in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, but there’s one Disney World park whose food game is going under the radar…Animal Kingdom! Animal Kingdom Seriously, this park has some pretty amazing snacks that you’re probably walking right past. And recently, we stopped by to try out one of our old favorites and see if it’s still as good as we remembered! Mr. Kamal’s is a snack stand that you can find in the Asia section of the park. It’s right around the corner from the Feathered Friends in Flight show, and after you grab your food, you can enjoy the seating area right on the Discovery River! Mr. Kamal’s But what do they serve at this unassuming spot? Let’s check out the menu! Menu They have a variety of bottled drinks, but there are two main snack items to choose from! The main highlights include the Chicken Dumplings and Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries. Mr. Kamal’s Menu Both of these snacks are available for $5.99. Food First up, let’s try out those Chicken Dumplings! They’re served with ponzu sauce and fried crispy. Each order comes with three dumplings, so it’s a small-ish portion, but they look absolutely delicious. Chicken Dumplings with Ponzu Sauce They’re a pretty decent size and they’re suuuper crispy. There was a lot of filling on the inside, which we appreciated because it meant that we were getting all of the different elements with each bite we took. Inside the Chicken Dumpling The ponzu sauce was really tangy and had a nice zing from the citrus and vinegar. You get enough sauce to dip your three dumplings, but not much extra. It’s not a TON of sauce Moving on to the more famous snack of the two, it’s time to talk about Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries! The menu states that they’re served with curried honey mustard or Korean chili ketchup, although there have been occasions in the past where we were able to get both sauces. This time, we were given two cups of the curried honey mustard. Look at those fries! The portion on the fries is pretty generous, and they were nice and fluffy on the inside. They aren’t very crispy on the outside, but they hold their form well. The seasoning is similar to Cajun-style, so it has a tiny bit of a kick. They’re well-seasoned! The curried honey mustard was really delicious but definitely had some STRONG flavors. Since it’s served on the side in individual cups, you can decide how much you’d like with each fry. If you like the slightly spicy and/or curried flavors, you’ll probably enjoy it! It’s a strong sauce. Two great snacks in one stop — but is it worth your time and money to check it out? Overall We really enjoyed both of these treats, and they’re perfect for when you’ve got a savory craving. This is definitely an underrated spot to stop, and it’s not usually too busy (the line doesn’t get more than a few minutes long). We highly recommend trying out one of these snacks on your next trip, and while you’re snacking, find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the ambiance of Animal Kingdom. There are plenty of seating areas on this side of the park! Stay tuned to DFB for more snack and treat reviews from all around Disney World. WE’ve got you covered with the latest.

Netflix is one of the biggest names in the streaming world, and for a good reason — they have the most subscribers in the world (but, Disney+ is giving them some competition!). ©Netflix Netflix actually has more worth than The Walt Disney Company, believe it or not. The service has seen some price increases over the years, and there might be one more on the way soon, as Netflix is trying to find a way for people to stop sharing their passwords with others. You might have to pay extra to share your Netflix password in the future! Netflix is launching a test soon to allow primary account holders pay an additional fee for users outside of their households, according to Variety. This is a new way that the streaming service is trying address password-sharing between users. Netflix’s terms of service says that a customer’s account “may not be shared with individuals beyond your household.” Disney Content on ©Netflix This new test will launch in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru in the next few weeks. Netflix will let people share their accounts with others outside of their household, as long as they pay the extra fee. In the test countries, the cost right now for adding a member is 2380 CLP in Chile (which is $2.97 USD), $2.99 USD in Costa Rica, and 7.9 PEN in Peru (which is $2.12 USD). ©William Antonelli/Business Insider “We’ve always made it easy for people who live together to share their Netflix account, with features like separate profiles and multiple streams in our Standard and Premium plans. While these have been hugely popular, they have also created some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared. As a result, accounts are being shared between households — impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members.” said Netflix’s director of product innovation, Chengyi Long, according to Variety. ©Netflix This new “add an extra member” feature will allow members with Netflix’s Standard and Premium plans to add subsidiary accounts for up to 2 people they don’t live with. Each will have their own profile, personalized recommendations, login, and password, and it will cost less than a separate Netflix plan. ©Netflix There isn’t a guarantee that this new feature will become a permanent part of Netflix’s service. Long said, “We’ll be working to understand the utility of these two features for members in these three countries before making changes anywhere else in the world,” according to Variety. Avengers: Infinity War ©Netflix Netflix is also testing out the ability to let subscribers transfer their user profiles to new accounts. Members in the test countries can allow people who share their account to transfer their profile info to either a new account or an Extra Member sub account, which will keep their viewing history, list of saved content, and recommendations. The Incredibles 2 ©Netflix We’ll have to wait and see if the test expands outside of these 3 countries! Stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates. Is Disney+ better than Netflix?

Disney World has some AMAZING rides and some that are…tolerable. That’s the Tower of Terror! To our Facebook followers, we posed the question, “Which Disney World ride do your kids love but you *tolerate*?” We got around 300 responses and, listen, we feel you. Here are 12 of the most popular answers (in no particular order)! Star Tours First up, we saw a number of answers referencing Star Tours — The Adventures Continue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Sure enough, this ride can be SUPER fun for Star Wars-lovin’ kiddos, but for grown-ups with motion sickness…not so much. Star Tours One of our readers explained this saying, “It shakes you up a little bit and then lets you out feeling like you lost minutes that you will never get back.” Another posed her solution, “It makes me sick. My husband goes with the kids. They love it.” Click here to see other rides you should avoid if you have motion sickness! “it’s a small world” We weren’t TOO surprised to see this one on the list, but it looks like the “it’s a small world” anthem has turned many a parent away from loving the ride. One reader said, “That song still haunts my dreams to this day.” “it’s a small world” Another reader noted, “My husband and son absolutely love it and it’s my own personal nightmare,” and one said “tolerate” isn’t even the right word — “I really don’t “tolerate”. I hope another adult is with us and will take them so I can skip. LOL. I will do it once a year.” Want to see more Small World opinions? Click here! Dinosaur Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Dinosaur has its fair share of young fans and tolerance from parents. One reader noted, “Every time I leave that ride with a giant headache and motion sickness….” Dinosaur Let’s face it, Dinosaur is loud, dark, and scary — even for grown-ups! Another of our Facebook followers noted, “It’s so dang loud, but our kids absolutely love it!” To see a dinosaur lightsaber in Disney World, click here! Dumbo the Flying Elephant Back over in Magic Kingdom, a lot of folks had surprising disdain for Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and really any ride like it. We saw mentions of Dumbo, TriceraTop Spin, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, AND Astro Orbiter. Dumbo And what makes these rides just a “tolerate?” One reader notes, “I can’t stand those boring rise up and go around rides.” Click here to see the recent Disney World wait times! Carousel of Progress We shockingly had a few votes for Carousel of Progress! This one was more of a surprising answer to us! We thought Carousel of Progress might be one that more parents have to drag their kiddos on, but that’s not always the case. Carousel of Progress As it turns out though, it’s not so much the ride but the consequences of riding. One reader said, “My son will sing that song all day.” Want to see some Magic Kingdom must-dos? Click here! Mad Tea Party And on a LESS surprising note, Mad Tea Party certainly made its appearance in several readers’ answers. One reader put it plainly, “If this is anything other than the Tea Cups you gave a wrong answer.” Who’s ready to spin until they’re sick?! Other readers gave their tactics for surviving the spin saying, “I get in my own cup and don’t spin,” and “I hate spinning around. Luckily this trip I sat alone with my 1-year-old and didn’t have to spin.” To learn about how Mad Tea Party could change, click here! Splash Mountain Sometimes it’s water rides that little ones are dragging their parents on! One reader said of Splash Mountain, “Kids love it, but I hate having wet pants for the rest of the day.” Splash Mountain Hey, we don’t blame you! Wet pants certainly aren’t the most comfortable thing in the world! Click here to learn more about the upcoming Splash Mountain refurbishment! Tomorrowland Speedway Tomorrowland Speedway was a common answer from our readers. Oh, you’re not surprised? Why ever not? Just kidding, we TOTALLY saw this one coming. Tomorrowland Speedway One reader said, “The only right answer is Tomorrowland Speedway. I barely tolerate it.” Another added, “Whiplash waiting to happen.” Want to see more recent Disney World wait times? Click here! Prince Charming Regal Carousel One reader had a particularly funny answer in telling us they only tolerate Prince Charming Regal Carousel for their kiddo! Prince Charming Regal Carrousel They said, “My 5-year-old still wants to rope drop that. Every. Time. Once after an evening rain, we had Fantasyland literally to ourselves. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train walk on. Everything a walk-on. Nope. Only carrousel.” To learn more about the carrousel, click here! Space Mountain Space Mountain was a VERY popular answer on the post! One reader said, “The anxiety of having to get out of that flippin’ rocket now that I’m ‘old.'” Another noted, “I tell the kids I hate it every time we get off and I am never riding it again. And 5 seconds later I say, ‘There’s no wait, wanna ride it again?'” Space Mountain Still, sometimes it’s worth it for the little ones who love it. One reader said, “I find Space Mountain getting rougher on me. Like painful rib-cracking rough. But I will go on it 50 times if my little one wants to.” Click here to see some overrated Disney World rides according to YOU! Barnstormer If there’s one coaster that little kiddos LOVE in Fantasyland, it’s Barnstormer with The Great Goofini! This kids’ coaster is located in Storybook Circus. It’s super fun for little ones — not necessarily the adults that have to ride with them. Watch out for that sign! “Cute little coaster but after the 5th time….please children! Find a new dream,” one reader pleaded. Another said, “My husband and I fight over who has to take them on Barnstormer. Want to see more of the “worst rides” in Disney World? Click here! The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror And finally, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror got a NUMBER of votes! One reader said, “I don’t like it at all! But I suffer through for the kids…or they will make me suffer by making fun of me being a sissy all day.” Tower of Terror One reader has a great strategy for tolerating the ride, “And by tolerate…. I sit outside and have snacks ready for them when they get off. (I hate the RANDOM drop sequence).” To learn more about this spooky ride, click here! These rides can certainly be hard for some grown-ups, but we do what we must for our little ones! As one reader put it, “I love them all because it brings so much joy watching the kids!!” Follow us on Facebook to take part in more of these fun discussions and drop your Disney knowledge on us!

There are some flavor combinations that seem to be VERY controversial. Are you team pineapple on pizza? Do you mind a little chocolate-covered bacon? What about mint chocolate chip ice cream? No matter where you stand on those great food debates, it’s always fun to see what kind of new treats Disney thinks up! We’ve tasted some WEIRD flavors in our time, but it’s always an adventure! Caribbean Beach Resort Over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, we found a minty new treat that sounds VERY familiar to another dessert we JUST tried in Disney World! Is it worth a visit to the Caribbean Beach? Let’s find out! Recently, we tried Disney’s new Mint-Chocolate Chip Cheesecake at ABC Commissary in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This treat was MADE for all those minty chocolate lovers, and we enjoyed this (randomly decorated) little treat! Mint Chocolate Cheese at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Now, over at the Centertown Market in Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, you can try a slight variation of the Hollywood Studios dessert. The Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake served here is available from March 13th to 19th and costs $5.49 (yes, it goes by the same name but IS different). There’s a NEW specialty dessert! This more festive version of the Mint Chocolate Cheesecake is made with a mint chocolate brownie topped with vanilla cheesecake and a whipped mint chocolate chip ganache, with a house-made shamrock chocolate decoration. So, does this treat leave us dreaming of mint chocolate chip ice cream? She’s festive! One of the first things we need to talk about is that super BRIGHT cheesecake on top. It’s no doubt that Disney is using a whole lot of green food coloring this holiday season and this treat proves it. Aside from the color though, this comes pretty close to tasting just like a classic cheesecake — it’s thick, it’s creamy, and there’s just a little bit of “fluff” to it. This is where all the minty flavor is packed and we were happy to find that the taste was much more subtle and grew on us as we kept eating rather than punching us in the face. And, the mint flavor is made “mint-chocolate” thanks to the brownie on the bottom and ganache on top. We thought that both were rich and tasty, though the chocolate brownie appeared to need just a little more time in the oven as the bottom half was just barely cooked more than the top half. The perfect balance of chocolate to mint! All in all, we liked the Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake though we aren’t necessarily going to go out of our way to get more. But, if you’re staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, this could be a great specialty treat to grab in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Just be warned — it is pretty sweet, so you might want to bring a few more hungry bellies with you if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth. And, if you’re craving something with more of a minty taste, then we’d probably recommend heading over to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort for the Luck of the Green Cupcake instead. Note that this dessert is NOT available to purchase through Mobile Order on the My Disney Experience app so you’re going to have to buy it in person — just find it in the refrigerated section of the market! And, of course, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney treats, so make sure to stay tuned for more! FULL LIST of St. Patrick’s Day Treats Coming to Disney World & Disneyland!

Don’t ya just hate when things in Disney World are CLOSED? BOOOOO We do, too! Especially when there are super long closures in the parks. We miss climbing Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom, as it’s been closed since early January. We also miss the Walt Disney World Railroad, which has been closed in Magic Kingdom for over 3 YEARS. But, today, we saw something that might mean the train will return soon! We spotted the TRAIN testing today on the Walt Disney World Railroad in Magic Kingdom! The testing was happening over at the Fantasyland station. The train has been out of commission since 2018 due to TRON construction over in Tomorrowland. And, we actually did see it being tested in early February, too! The train!!! But, while the railroad has been closed, work has been done on the train! The Number 1 Engine has been completely refurbished, we learned during Destination D23 late last year. The train looks great! We still don’t know when exactly the train will be open for business again, but hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

Disney Springs is home to many popular shops and eateries. Disney Springs One of those spots is so popular, there’s pretty much ALWAYS a line out the door AND they sometimes even utilize a virtual queue system to try and keep guest waits to a minimum. Yep, we’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse! Today, we tried a NEW item at the gothic-cartoon-themed bakery that you WON’T find on the normal menu — let’s check it out! Gideon’s Bakehouse is well-known for its massive cookies (they’re a half-pound, people!) and cake slices. But they often have secret menu items that pop up from time to time (IYKYK). Lining up for Gideon’s For the month of March, if you ask for it, you can get a secret menu item: the Salted Caramel Nitro Cold Brew Coffee! Salted Caramel Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Made with house-made salted caramel, this decadent pick-me-up is gluten-free and can be made vegan depending on your choice of milk. This was a super refreshing cold brew coffee — perfect for those hot and humid Florida mornings (or afternoons…or evenings…). And it definitely didn’t skimp on the flavor! Sweet and refreshing on a hot spring morning! The salted caramel was the star here, and it made for a pretty sweet cup of joe. It’s got a milder coffee flavor, so if you don’t like super-sweet coffee and want to be able to taste those toasty beans, you may want to skip this one! ©Gideon’s Bakehouse Get the Salted Caramel Cold Brew from Gideon’s now through the end of March for $6.

Today is the day to celebrate Irish culture and eat LOTS of green food. We LOVE this place! That’s right — it’s St. Patrick’s Day at Disney World! Although we’ve already tried our fair share of green snacks and drinks, including a VERY minty cupcake, an EXTREMELY green drink, a Mickey hat, and more, we’re heading to our beloved Gideon’s Bakehouse for MORE green treats — including GREEN CAKE. Gideon’s has a couple of very limited-time offerings for this holiday. And by very limited, we mean they’re ONLY available today! The treats include a minty cake and some Andes Mint cake bites. Inside Gideon’s The cake is the very special Mega Mint St. Patrick’s Day Cake, made with three layers of vanilla cake and super mint green buttercream. It’s a very festive slice of cake and the flavor is VERY minty. Warning — if you don’t like SUPER minty flavors, this is not for you. But if you love mint, these cake slices are huge and perfect for sharing with other mint-lovers. The cake is soft and moist (like it always is at this bakery), and the bright green makes it a fun option if you’re looking for an Instagram-able treat! It’s GREEN We’re also trying out a Limited Edition Bite Bag featuring Triple Chocolate Salted Andes Mint Bites. These are cookie bites (yummy Gideon’s cookies inside!) dipped in chocolate and topped with green sugar crystals for just an extra touch of green. These are also a lot of fun, and you get plenty of them to share! Again, though, the chocolate and mint flavors are strong here, so if that’s not your thing, you’ll want to skip. Minty bite! If you’re wanting to try these treats for yourself, you don’t have a lot of time. These are available TODAY ONLY at Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs. Also note that because this area will be busy today, the usual line at Gideon’s will be directed opposite of Gideon’s normal traffic flow, and sign-up for the virtual queue (if required), will be under the gargoyle. Gideon’s Bakehouse We’ll be eating ALL the St. Patrick’s Day things at Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more reviews! Here’s the only St. Patrick’s Day party you need to know about.

Disney and Dooney & Bourke are clearly two peas in a pod, because they come out with new collections ALL the time! Dooney Bags Seriously, just this year we’ve seen collections for Valentine’s Day, Pixar, Disney horses, Orange Bird, classic Mickey, and Alice in Wonderland. And now, there’s another classic Disney movie that’s in the spotlight for a new collection! A NEW Peter Pan Dooney & Bourke Collection is coming soon to Disney World! New collection alert! We found these in the display cases in Uptown Jewelers in Magic Kingdom and Legends of Hollywood in Hollywood Studios. We can’t wait! They’ll be released this coming Monday, March 21st! Get ready for Monday! It looks like there’s a tote… Closer look at the tote …as well as a satchel and a crossbody. Satchel This print is pretty unique, since it looks closer to scenes from the movie instead of the more traditional patterns we see with these bags! So colorful, too! And, there’s a tag on the bags with the logo name of the movie (also, peep that cool lime green stitching!). Peter Pan tag Prices have not been listed for the bags yet, but we’ll keep you updated as soon as they’re available, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

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. As the global pandemic continues to change, so do local and federal government guidelines regarding health and safety. Disney Dream With so many evolving protocols and rules, it can be difficult to stay on top of it all. The most recent adjustment in guidelines comes from the Disney Cruise Line, with updated policies regarding cruise ships that sail to and from Canada — let’s check out everything you need to know. According to Disney, the government of Canada “requires all cruise passengers to take a COVID-19 test before disembarking the ship in Canada.” This requirement began on March 14th, 2022, and is enforced by the Disney Cruise Line. Disney Dream Additionally, before sailing from or entering Canada, guests must create a profile with ArriveCan, which can be done online or through the ArriveCan app. The Disney website states that “Canada requires proof of full COVID-19 vaccination for travelers 12 years of age and older. Proof of vaccination and travel & citizenship documents can be saved in your ArriveCAN traveler profile before any planned travel.” Disney Magic The ArriveCAN app will allow you to upload the required information such as proof of COVID-19 vaccination, citizenship documents, details of your trip, and additional questions regarding guest health. Other details including contact information, travel details, and proof of a COVID-19 test result must be added within 72 hours of guests’ arrival in Canada. ©Disney If guests’ voyages are longer than 72 hours, they will need to submit this information during their sailing or upon their arrival in Canada. Once guests complete the necessary steps using ArriveCan, they will get a receipt that shows “proof of completion.” This receipt is what guests will present to authorities upon arrival.

There are a lot of BIG things coming soon to Disney World! Magic Kingdom Whether it’s makeovers to the resort hotels, new roller coasters, or dining options that we can’t wait to try, there’s a lot on the horizon for the vacation destination. However, the thing that we may have been waiting on the longest is the Tron Coaster in Magic Kingdom…and today it hit a HUGE milestone! We found out recently that the Tron Coaster (which STILL doesn’t have an opening date!) would start the next phase of ride testing soon. And today, we got to see the process with our own eyes! Currently, the ride is going through the push/pull test, where sections of the train are slowly moved through the entire ride track. Once that’s complete, the trains will be put through launch tests on the entire track at incremental speeds. It’s moving! After they’ve worked up to the full-speed launches, test weights will be used on the ride. Several months after that, and some additional tests later, the Tron Coaster team members will be able to participate in tests once the coaster is “approved for ridership.” ©Disney We’ll continue watching this ride to see the progress that is made, so stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates!

Waiting in line is just the name of the game when it comes to riding attractions at Disney World. Wait times can be LONG in Disney World Of course, you can opt to purchase Disney Genie+ or Individual Attraction Selections that let you “skip the line,” but sometimes there’s just no way around a wait — especially when there are unexpected refurbishments and closures. And, as spring break crowds flock to the Disney Parks this week, it may be no surprise that Tower of Terror has well over an hour wait in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But, there’s actually something else that’s adding to the time you spend listening to the somber-themed music in line — and the long lines may last MUCH longer than the crowds. Over the past few days, we’ve been noticing that Tower of Terror has a wait time of 100+ minutes, even hitting 150 minutes yesterday. Now, a long wait time isn’t anything new for this popular attraction, but when it lasted ALL day we knew that something was up. So, we did some digging. Tower of Terror Entrance We spoke with a Cast Member at the attraction today who shared that two of the elevators are currently CLOSED. So, why is that such a big deal? Well, when you glance up at Tower of Terror, you can see two elevator shafts that send guests screaming as they plummet to the ground. But, there are actually more elevators running at a time — a total of FOUR! How Tower of Terror Works ©Disney/Behind The Attraction So, with two of the elevators currently closed, the ride is only running at HALF of its total capacity for the day leading to a MUCH longer line. And, it looks like the long waits could stretch much longer than you might expect. The Cast Member explained to us that Disney crews will be working on the other two elevators after they complete the work on the current two. They said that this could take “months before they are operating at full capacity.” Creeeeeeepy! Now, if Tower of Terror is a must-do attraction for you at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we would recommend arriving at park opening and heading straight for the attraction. This can also be a great time to take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry if you’re a Disney World hotel guest to ensure that you get on the ride without much of a wait. And, if waking up early just isn’t in the cards for your park day, you can consider purchasing Disney Genie+ (which is $15 per person, per day) to bypass the line or grab yourself a snack and wait it out. Tower of Terror queue Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye on the wait time for Tower of Terror and other attractions in the Disney Parks to bring you the best tips for tackling them all throughout your day. So, be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest! Learn more about Disney Genie+ and how to skip the lines at popular attractions HERE!

If there’s one thing you’ll always find at the Disney theme parks (besides fun times, great rides, and delicious food), it’s crowds! Crowds on Main Street, U.S.A. Thankfully there are plenty of secret pathways and ways to avoid crowd burnout. Today, we’re talking about 5 places that are ALWAYS stressful in Disney parks and where to go instead! New Orleans Square (Disneyland) The Busy Spot: The main pathway going through New Orleans Square in Disneyland that takes you in and out of the area. This spot gets congested easily because of how narrow the walkway is and all of the details to see and absorb. When guests take their time to linger in this atmospheric land, it can get congested quickly! New Orleans Square in Disneyland Where to Go Instead: New Orleans Square is best experienced earlier in the day, making it a good area to rope-drop. If you can’t make it to New Orleans Square early in the day, however, there’s a pathway you can use to avoid most of the crowds. In New Orleans Square, right along the Rivers of America, you’ll find a pathway that stays relatively empty throughout the day. The Harbour Galley Also, it is easier to enter New Orleans Square through Frontierland or Critter Country than Adventureland. We Didn’t Think We Could Love Mickey Beignets More. Then Disneyland Did THIS. Fantasyland (Disneyland & Magic Kingdom) The Busy Spot: Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. In Disneyland, the busy spot is the area near the Carousel and all the dark rides like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and Snow White’s Enchanted Journey. In Magic Kingdom, the busy spot is the walkway between “it’s a small world” and Peter Pan. This area gets crowded for two main reasons, the popularity of all of the attractions in this vicinity, and the fact that these attractions are favorites for the little ones, which means lots of strollers (which take up lots of walkway space)! Crowds in Fantasyland Where to Go Instead in Disneyland: Seeing as the busiest area is located near the Castle entrance to Fantasyland, going around the Castle instead of through it can help you avoid crowds. If you take the pathway that’s to the right of the Castle, the one that heads towards Matterhorn, you can avoid most of the crowds and enter Fantasyland from the side. This can be especially helpful if you’re heading to rides like “it’s a small world” or Storybook Land Canal Boats! Don’t go through the tunnel! Where to Go Instead in Magic Kingdom A great way to get into Fantasyland, especially New Fantasyland, is to use the pathway at the Hub that goes to the right and takes you to Cheshire Cafe (bordering Tomorrowland), since this is less busy compared to the Castle entrance. If you need to get to the Peter Pan & “it’s a small world” section of Fantasyland and the Castle entrance seems too hectic, you can always cut through Liberty Square to get to these attractions. Head to the left of the Castle; your view should look something like this as you pass the castle. The main takeaway here is, get your classic photo in front of the castle, then when you’re ready to visit Fantasyland, be sure to approach it from the sides to avoid those heavy-traffic areas. This or That: Disney World Fantasyland Edition Adventureland (Disneyland) The Busy Spot: Adventureland in Disneyland, especially the area near Indiana Jones Adventure & Tarzan’s Treehouse. There are a lot of popular spots in such close proximity that it’s bound to create some choke points. Indiana Jones Adventure, Jungle Cruise, and Bengal Barbecue are all so tightly tucked in there that when crowds pick up and guests rush to these areas, or those queues back up into the walkways, it can create some claustrophobia, for sure. Adventureland in Disneyland Where to Go Instead: Much like New Orleans Square, this land is best experienced in the morning! Keep in mind that the main bottleneck is near the Swiss Family Robinson House, so unless you’re heading over to New Orleans Square, you might want to take a different route to get to your next destination. If you need to get through the crowds in Adventureland, stick to your right-hand side, the traffic in this area (and in most Disney parks) flows similar to a road. Tarzan’s Treehouse So, best to visit this area first thing in the morning, or avoid it unless you have an attraction to visit during the day if you’re looking to avoid those shoulder-to-shoulder crowds and tense walkways. Explore Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland in a NEW Way with the Play Disney Parks App! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (Disneyland & Hollywood Studios) The Busy Spot: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Hollywood Studios, especially the shops in the center of the land. This marketplace on Batuu has an authentic bazaar atmosphere, which includes intimate walkways, clustered shops and kiosks, and shoppers dashing in and out of vendor spots for those souvenir finds! The Galaxy’s Edge Market Where to Go Instead: If you’re not planning on going into any of the shops, the pathways around the shops on the outer edges of the land are less busy and can get you to any attraction in Galaxy’s Edge. If you’re looking to go to the shops, hit them up in the morning or later in the afternoon because midday is particularly busy. However, going through all the shops in Galaxy’s Edge is manageable as long as you go into this area knowing it’s likely going to be crowded. It’s HERE. The Perfect Gift for ‘Star Wars’ Fans Who Never Stopped Loving Baby Yoda. Avengers Campus (Disney California Adventure) The Busy Spot: Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, especially the main entryway near WEB SLINGERS and WEB Suppliers. Since WEB SLINGERS is one of the newest and most popular (and easily visible) attractions at the West Coast parks, its popularity pulls in the crowds. The walkway narrows close to the entrance for WEB SLINGERS and WEB Suppliers gift shop, which provides a natural point of congestion. Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Where to Go Instead: The main entrance into Avengers Campus gets pretty busy, but it’s easy to get in and out of the land using other entrances! If you enter this land from the back, using either the entrance near Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout or the entrance near Cars Land, you shouldn’t have a lot of trouble avoiding crowds. Avengers Campus The solution here is much like the solution for Fantasyland. Stop and take your iconic picture at the main entrance to Avengers Campus by WEB SLINGERS, but then enter and navigate this area from the other entrances to avoid those intense crowds. Does $60 Really Make a Difference on WEB Slingers at Disney’s Avengers Campus? Bonus: Hub for Fireworks (Disneyland & Disney World) The Busy Spot: Staking out that perfect spot for views of the fireworks can get anyone’s heart rate up. Some guests start settling into their spot in the Hub or on Main Street an hour (or more!) before the show begins. This creates bottlenecks for any guest looking to cross the area to get from one section of the park to another. And when the lights dim and the show starts, the crowds compress, and suddenly, you’re rubbing elbows (LITERALLY!) with a new friend that you’d never met before! Crowds AFTER the final performance of ‘Happily Ever After’ Where to Go Instead: Try grabbing a spot at the back of Main Street, U.S.A. With the projection shows now covering the full landscape of the Main Street shops, you’ll get a view of the full show, without the compression of the crowds right in front of the castle. Plus, if you’re looking for a quick exit after the show, you’re right by the gates to be one of the first to leave. See? It’s still a good view, even from back here! If you’re just interested in fireworks, another option is to head to the back of Fantasyland. For both Disneyland and Disney World, you’d want to find a spot behind the Carousel. You’ll miss out on the projections happening on the castle and Main Street, but you’ll still get to see some incredible fireworks without feeling like you’re in a can of sardines. Fireworks from behind the castle! Those are 5+ places that tend to be crowded & stressful in Disney parks and where to go instead!

Between hotel reservations, park tickets, dining reservations, and more, there have always been a lot of steps to planning a Disney World vacation. But, when the parks reopened shortly after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, things only got more complicated. Cinderella Castle All of a sudden, now guests had to worry about where they needed to wear face masks, how they were going to secure those hard-to-get dining reservations with a shorter reservation window, and the biggie — make Park Pass Reservations for every single day of their trip. And, while many of the initial changes made to Disney operations have returned to “normal” — or at least a “new normal” — park pass reservations have withstood time. So, will you have to plan out what feels like your every move in Disney World forever? Let’s take a look. What Are Park Passes? Before we dive into the details, let’s do a quick refresher on Park Pass Reservations and how they work. Back when Disney World first reopened in the summer of 2020, park capacity was limited to only 25%. So, to ensure that guests weren’t arriving at the entrance only to find that the park filled up within minutes, Disney introduced Park Pass Reservations. Scanning In! Gone were the days that you could just show up to a park and head on in — now guests needed to purchase both a park ticket AND make a reservation for the park that they planned to visit on the day through Disney’s website before arriving. And…well…they’ve just never gone away — even as park capacity has increased. Former Park Pass and Safety Signs The Park Pass Reservations really are just another step in the process of booking your vacation, as they’re free of charge (once you’ve purchased your park ticket) and all you need to do is log into your My Disney Experience account and plan your trip day-by-day. You don’t even have to worry about making extra reservations if you plan to park hop while you’re there — you can just san into whatever park you want to go to after you’ve visited the first park that you do have a reservation for (and as long as it’s after 2PM). Disney’s Animal Kingdom Seems simple enough, right? Well, there’s a catch — Park Pass Reservation availability can (and DOES) run out for each of the parks during busier seasons. So, if you have your heart is set on visiting Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day (or any other holiday for that matter), you’ll need to book your vacation MONTHS in advance. Magic Kingdom park entrance As you might expect, spots at Magic Kingdom tend to be the first to go, but when there’s something exciting happening in any of the parks, you’re probably going to struggle to secure your reservation at the last minute. And, with several big park projects opening in 2022 (we’re looking at you Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Roundup Rodeo BBQ ), you’re going to want to make your decision on when you’re visiting sooner rather than later. 11 HARSH Truths About Your Upcoming Disney World Trip — Click Here! Why Do They Exist? Though it may seem like the Disney Parks are back to 100% capacity, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of The Walt Disney Company, Christine McCarthy, recently confirmed that they are in fact NOT yet back to full capacity. Though, they are coming back towards it. Crowds in Magic Kingdom So, with park capacity still limited, it makes sense that Park Pass Reservations would still be in place — they need to control the number of people that visit each day. But, there are also A LOT of other benefits to the requirement. Let’s take crowd management for example. In the same Q&A Session during the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference, McCarthy noted that they “don’t want to have the parks bursting at the seams,” and added that when the parks aren’t as crowded, you’re having a better time and you’re probably inclined to spend more money. Limiting the number of reservations that there are each day in each park means that Disney can actually control your overall experience in the parks — and they’re hoping that means your purse strings will be a bit looser. Animal Kingdom Crowds This also means that Disney can control how spread out the crowds are between parks. In fact, Disneyland President Ken Potrock recently said that “the objective here is to spread that demand, whether it’s a Tuesday or a Saturday.” In other words, Disney can ensure that Magic Kingdom isn’t packed to the brim on one day and then empty the next. Instead, all four parks can maintain a fairly steady amount of crowds every single day of the week. EPCOT crowds Some other issues created by the pandemic, like staffing shortages, can also be better managed with fewer guests and the ability to track where the crowds are going to be. Click Here to Find Out How to Choose the Right Disney World Tickets For YOU Are They Here to Stay? The short answer to this question is that it’s not clear yet, but Disney does seem to be leaning that way based on recent comments from Disney execs. Keep in mind though that Disney has not specifically stated that the Park Pass Reservation system here permanently here to stay. At the very least, we do know that they’ll likely stick around through early 2024. Why Passes Might Stay So, what’s all the evidence to suggest that Park Passes are the new unwanted house guest of Disney World? Well, we’ve already covered the crowd management benefit for Disney and, if that’s not reason enough for Disney to keep them going for years to come, there’s also the fact that knowing the number of guests in each park also allows Disney to plan for necessary merchandise stock and food supplies as well as staffing that may be required in each area. Merchandise Additionally, in an age where data is incredibly valuable, the Park Pass Reservation system gives Disney easy access to all kinds of guest statistics that they didn’t have before. For example, Disney can now see which parks are most popular at a given time, when people plan on going to one park but then switch to another one, and how often people might cancel their reservations. This data could continue to allow Disney to learn certain trends in guest behavior and better understand why people visit a certain park on any given day. EPCOT Entrance But, it’s not just Disney that benefits from park pass reservations — Disney World guests do too! If you have a pass to a certain park, you’ll know for sure, with 100% certainty, that you will be able to get into the park that day. This means that you won’t have to get to Magic Kingdom at the crack of dawn on New Year’s Day and stick around until midnight for fear that the park might reach capacity by the time it hits 2PM — if you have a Magic Kingdom park pass then you’re guaranteed to get in no matter when you arrive. Cast Members in Magic Kingdom Note that the same guarantee is not true for park hopping, since you don’t have to have a reservation for the park you are going to later in the day. If the park you’re hopping to is at capacity, you may not be permitted to enter that park. And, this DOES happen — it’s just rare! We saw this happen on the first day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. Some guests tried to hop to Magic Kingdom in the afternoon and they had to wait outside for a while because the park was full to capacity as additional guests could only enter once other guests left the park. People, people everywhere A couple of Disney executives have commented on park passes, and their comments also indicate that park passes are sticking around for a while. When asked about whether he thought park passes would go away, Disneyland’s President said “I don’t think so.” And, when recently asked if the attendance levels were going to go back to what we saw before the global pandemic began, Disney’s CEO said no, that they are managing things differently now. Plus, we’ve also heard from Disney CEO Bob Chapek on this topic during the most recent Earnings Call. Click Here for the Secret Disney World Snack Hack We’ve NEVER Told ANYONE! Why Passes Might NOT Stay Disney has not definitively said that park passes will stay though, and there are a couple of reasons that they actually COULD go away in the future. MagicBand Scanner at Magic Kingdom First of all, we continue to see Disney phase out its pandemic-era changes. Almost all of the Disney World hotels are open again, and buffets have also returned. And, since Disney is still in the process of returning things to “normal,” it’s possible that park passes will disappear just like all the other COVID-19 adjustments. All-Star Sports is reopening soon! In addition, having to make reservations for the parks is another step in the already complicated process of planning a Disney World trip. If it were removed, guests might be happy with the simplified process, and it could encourage more people to return to the parks. EPCOT The fate of park pass reservations could also lie in how Disney handles park hopping moving forward. If we see the after 2PM requirement disappear, other aspects of entering the park (like park passes) may go back to normal as well. This is because keeping the mandated reservations might complicate the process if guests were allowed to visit any park first thing on a certain day. If guests can choose any park to visit with a park hopper, there wouldn’t really be a good way to manage reservations. HOW Does Park Hopping Work with Disney Genie? — Click Here! Overall So, from Disney’s statements and what we’re seeing in the parks, it looks like the Park Pass Reservation system is here to stay for at least a while longer whether you like it or not. So, you’ll want to be sure that you’re making your vacation plans early and thinking long and hard about which parks you want to visit each day — there may not always be availability!
