It’s never a dull day in Disney World, especially when things are constantly changing! Things are looking bright in Disney World! This week, EPCOT’s 2022 Flower and Garden Festival began, and after eating our way around the World Showcase, we stopped to reflect on a few surprising changes in Disney World this week. Let’s go over them! Cinderella Meet and Greet Change Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom has had some character changes in the last few years. Before the pandemic, Disney Princesses would greet each table while guests were dining, but afterward, only Cinderella would make a brief appearance in the restaurant, without stopping by each individual table. Royalty Only, Please On a visit we made this week, we found Cinderella greeting guests in the lobby of the restaurant! You can take photos and have a very brief interaction from a distance before your meal, but not after. Cinderella Meet and Greet As far as we know, this is currently the ONLY way to see Cinderella during your experience at Cinderella’s Royal Table. When we visited, she no longer made a brief appearance in the dining area. So make sure you see her BEFORE you go upstairs to eat, but keep in mind that things change constantly in Disney World! Read more about the Cinderella change at Cinderella’s Royal Table here! Spaceship Earth Beacon of Magic The 2022 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival kicked off this week, and Spaceship Earth debuted a NEW light sequence for the festival! The new show is synced to “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas, and it features lots of springtime and earth tone colors in honor of the festival theme. We love this new look! You can watch our video to see the show in action! Try not to sing too loudly to “Colors of the Wind.” The show plays frequently throughout the evening, so you can catch it nightly during the Flower and Garden Festival, from March 2nd to July 4th. Read more about the Spaceship Earth Pocahontas makeover here! That’s all the unexpected news from this week! Keep reading DFB for more surprising and weird news, straight from Disney World!

Is it just us or is a big bowl of chili the PERFECT comfort food? Pacific Wharf Cafe Let’s just say we were very excited when Disney World announced Walt’s Chili as one of its 50th Anniversary Celebration dishes. However, Walt’s Chili didn’t wow us, and we were left wondering if good chili COULD be found at a Disney Park. Well, we just found some GREAT chili, not at Disney World, but Disneyland, proving once again that the West Coast just sometimes does things better (like churros). Like Walt’s Chili at Disney World, the Hearty Chili in a Sourdough Bread Bowl for $11.49 from Disney California Adventure is served in a bread bowl. But that’s where the comparison ends. Although we found Walt’s Chili to be mild, this chili was spicier than we expected and had just the right amount of kick. HEARTY The chili is a rich blend of Beef, Beans, and Tomatoes simmered with Spices, and lives up to its hearty name. The Sourdough Bread Bowl was also delicious — fresh and perfect for soaking up all that chili. Look at that! We also tried the Lemon Blueberry Bread Pudding, which is a warm Lemon-Blueberry Bread Pudding filled with Lemon Cream Cheese, topped with Whipped Cream, Lemon Sauce and Blueberries. The last time we had this treat was in 2019 and we loved it then. So how about now? Lemon Blueberry Bread Pudding We’re happy to report that the bread pudding is still delicious — the pudding itself is dense, but also moist when you bite into it, with plenty of blueberries throughout. Our only complaint is that we wanted the layer of lemon curd on the top to be bigger. Delicious The bread pudding is served warm, which makes it even tastier. It’s available for $5.99. You can grab both of these seasonal treats for a limited time at Pacific Wharf Cafe. We’ll be trying more treats at Disneyland AND Disney World, so stay tuned for more reviews!

After a nice, big dinner (or at 10AM… you’re on vacation!), you’ll need some dessert! But, let’s face it, Disney’s almost ENDLESS supply of treats and snacks can seem a little overwhelming! So many options! That’s where YOU come in! We asked our readers on Facebook what their favorite dessert is in Disney World, and we got a TON of responses! From there, we narrowed it down to the top 25 best desserts in Disney World. Did your vote make the list? Let’s take a look! 1. Dole Whip No surprise here; Disney is pretty famous for its Dole Whip! This was the #1 response, proving that Dole Whip continues to be one of Disney’s most popular desserts. You can’t go wrong with the classics! Legen…(non)dairy As you’ll notice with most of the items on this list, many of our readers tend to prefer simple desserts more than Disney’s over-the-top treats. Although those wild cupcakes are pretty, we didn’t count too many votes for them! Click Here to See Which Disney World Treat is Trying to Steal the Dole Whip’s Crown! 2. Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake Our readers have spoken: Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake, served at Liberty Tree Tavern and The Diamond Horsehoe, is a fan favorite! Yep. This makes sense. If you’re unfamiliar with this cult classic, Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake is made with vanilla toffee cake, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream. Like we said, simple, but popular. A Boozy Disney World Cupcake?! Yes, Please. 3. Grapefruit Cake Our next most popular dessert among our readers comes from The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Grapefruit cake has been around FOREVER, but it still managed to crack the top three! Now that’s impressive! Pretty AND popular! You can even find a fun little homage to the iconic Grapefruit Cake in The Hollywood Brown Derby guestbook — complete with a hidden Mickey! Click Here to Grab the Recipe for Cobb Salad from The Hollywood Brown Derby 4. Cinnamon Roll People LOVE the Cinnamon Roll served at Gaston’s Tavern. Although this little quick service location is tucked away pretty deep in Fantasyland, there are some popular desserts here! Even the controversial Turkey Leg is currently being served at Gaston’s Tavern. It’s as big as Gaston’s muscles! If this colossal dessert is too much for you to handle in one sitting, ask a Cast Member for a to go box and then ask for a bag in the Bonjour! Village Gifts shop next door. That way, you won’t have to carry a box around all day. Here’s How to HACK a Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream Sandwich in Disney World! 5. Bread Pudding ‘Ohana Bread Pudding received a BUNCH of votes from our readers. This bread pudding is served with homemade caramel sauce, which we think makes it a little extra special. Need. Now. The House of Blues and Raglan Road’s bread puddings also received some votes, but ‘Ohana’s bread pudding remains the champion. Click Here for the TRUTH Behind Eating at ‘Ohana in Disney World! 6. School Bread Head to Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in EPCOT’s Norway pavilion for the next fan-favorite: School Bread! School Bread featuring Olaf! While the character topping changes from time to time, the school bread itself has remained the same, and for good reason! Our DFB reporters AND readers agree that School Bread is one of Disney World’s best desserts. Click Here for Our Latest Review of School Bread in EPCOT’s Norway 7. Pineapple Lumpia While everyone can agree on School Bread, people tend to be a little more torn when it comes to Pineapple Lumpia. Nevertheless, this interesting dessert served at Pongu Pongu in Disney’s Animal Kingdom made the list of Disney’s best desserts, so it can’t be that bad! (According to our readers, anyway!) Divisive, but popular! If you’re wondering what the heck that spring roll-looking thing is, it’s basically a sweet spring roll stuffed with pineapple cream cheese. The name doesn’t reveal much, as you can see. We Went Backstage in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for…Lumpia? 8. LeFou’s Brew We told you — Gaston’s Tavern is a hit with our readers! Despite what you may assume based on the name, LeFou’s Brew is actually frozen apple juice made with a hint of toasted marshmallow and topped with all-natural passion fruit-mango foam. Le Fou’s Brew > Beer. We said it. Do you think Gaston gives a cut of the profits to LeFou? Somehow, we don’t think so. BRAIN FREEZE ALERT! Our FAVORITE Frozen Drinks Around Disney World! 9. Fried Wontons This next dessert doesn’t get talked about quite as often as some of the other desserts on the list, but it still received quite a few votes! These aren’t just any Fried Wontons, though. They consist of fresh pineapple and cream cheese, pineapple chunks, vanilla ice cream, and a honey-vanilla drizzle. Bonus points for presentation You can find these sweet wontons at the Yak and Yeti restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Click Here for Our Ranking of ALL the 50th Anniversary Treats in Animal Kingdom 10. Almond Crusted Cheesecake Narcoossee’s, an upscale restaurant at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, serves a unique cheesecake made with an almond crust. We saw a lot of votes for the Almond Crusted Cheesecake — people love cheesecake, after all! Cheesecake is always a good idea You can also get your Almond Crusted Cheesecake with cherries on top for a little added sweetness! Click Here for Info on the NEW Grand Floridian DVC Villas 11. Citrus Swirl If you’re an Orange Bird fan, you probably understand the hype surrounding the Citrus Swirl served in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. If the pineapple Dole Whip isn’t your thing, you might like the orange version instead! A favorite even among Disney characters! The Citrus Swirl dessert is served at Sunshine Tree Terrace. Look around the corner of this little location to find an orange bird mural that makes an excellent photo-op! Do note: Citrus Swirls have not been available for some time and we are anxiously awaiting their return. Follow the DFB newsletter for the latest information on this beloved treat. Review: The Orange Bird-Themed Drink You’ve Probably Never Tried in Disney World! 12. Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich The EPCOT World Showcase is full of amazing desserts, but the Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich at L’Artisan des Glaces is easily one of the most popular treats! Macarons … ice cream … this treat is hard to beat! Pictured above is the Raspberry Macaron ice cream sandwich, but keep an eye out for other seasonal ice cream sandwiches, too! PSST: Did You Know You Can Buy Individual Macarons at Disney World?! 13. Nutella Fruit Waffle Whoever created the Nutella Fruit Waffle at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments deserves a raise. It’s so simple that we’re mad we didn’t think of it ourselves. Either way, this was another popular dessert with our readers, and we have to agree with them! Fresh Fruit Sandwich There’s something about the combination of a warm, fresh waffle with berries and chocolatey Nutella that really hits the spot during a day in the Magic Kingdom. Disney Took Mickey Waffles And Made Them BETTER! Click Here to See How. 14. Churros Disney serves many variations of churros all over the parks, and we received votes for the classic Disney churros, the house-made Nomad Lounge churros, and the little churro bites. Do you have a preference or do you love them all? Big, small, covered in chocolate…they’re all winners! As you may have noticed, some of the churros served in Magic Kingdom got a little 50th Anniversary upgrade; select churros are now served in an adorable Dumbo peanuts bag! Is Disney World Trying to UP Its Churro Game? Click Here to See the Churro That Says, “YES!” 15. Mickey Ice Cream Bar We’ve got another classic, folks! What can we say, people love those iconic Disney treats, and they aren’t afraid to admit it! Anything Mickey-shaped is automatically a winner Our only grievance with Mickey Ice Cream Bars is that they always melt so quickly! If an experienced Disney food engineer could fix that, we would really appreciate it. Click Here to See Disney World’s Giant Ice Cream Sundae! You Might Be Intimidated! 16. Chocolate Mousse Coming up next, we’ve got Chocolate Mousse. As we get to item #16 on the list, we’ve finally got a nice, chocolatey dessert to share! Disney tends to rotate their chocolate mousse desserts each season, but there’s pretty much always some variation of chocolate mousse somewhere in the parks. Chocolate. Duh. As of writing, you can find a Raspberry-dark chocolate mousse at the ABC Commissary in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Follow the DFB newsletter to get more up to date details on the new treats in the parks! Snack Alert! Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas Are Back in Disney World 17. Ice Cream Whether you’re team Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, team L’Artisan des Glaces, or team Beaches and Cream, you can’t go wrong with ice cream in Disney World! Simple, but it does the trick on a hot day! Our readers voted for ice cream from all over Disney World! Are you a chocolate lover, vanilla enthusiast, or do you prefer a wild card flavor? Click Here for Our Ranking of ALL the Ice Cream Spots in Disney World! 18. Mickey Krispie Treat Yes, you could probably make this at home, but it will never be the same as a Disney Krispie Treat! Do the ears hold the key to the superior flavor? Is it the chocolate? Who knows! Mickey Krispie Treat Either way, our readers made sure to show their support for the humble Mickey Krispie Treat. Click Here to See the Disney World Snacks the DFB Team Never Wants to Eat Again! 19. Dad’s Favorite Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layered Cake Of course, this cake made the list — favorite is in the name! You can find the Chocolate Peanut Butter Layered Cake at the 50s Prime Time Cafe restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. When you take chocolate and peanut butter and put them together in a cake, you’ve automatically got a winner on your hands. Dare we say peanut butter + chocolate is the best combination of all time? Chocolate + peanut butter is an elite combination While you’re at it, order a Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake, too! Disney World Made a Peanut Butter Banana Nutella Sandwich. We Made It Even Better. 20. Kakamora Float We’ve got another tropical dessert to share; this time it’s the Kakamora Float from Aloha Isle! Is anyone else obsessed with the little Kakamora pirate faces? They’re so cute! Yeah, we can see why this made the list This is one of the more interesting desserts on the list. It’s made with coconut soft-serve on top of pineapple juice and blue Curacao then garnished with a chocolate Kakamora cake pop. You wouldn’t think that combination of flavors would work, but it does. Sadly, this Moana-inspired treat has disappeared from the menu at Aloha Isle, but this has happened before, so keep checking back! Add THIS New Swirl to Your Dole Whip Must-Try List at Disney World! 21. Tie-Dye Cheesecake This next dessert is far out; you can find it at Everything POP Food Court in Disney’s Pop Century Resort! Groovy There are a lot of colors going on here, but somehow it comes together. Click Here to Explore Disney’s Pop Century Resort With Us! 22. Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse Disney has a thing for space food, and so do our readers! The Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse is just as pretty as it is tasty. Dessert or a work of art? You can find this otherworldly dessert right next door to Pongu Pongu at Satu’li Canteen in Pandora. Be sure to try one of the protein bowls at Satu’li Canteen, too! Click Here to Find Out Where the BEST Food Is HIDING at the Star Wars Hotel in Disney World 23. Raspberry Dole Whip Okay, this is the last Dole Whip variation on the list, we promise. Aloha Isle knows what’s up, and our readers made sure to show some love to ALL the Dole Whip treats! It’s pink! Personally, we think that more desserts should be pink. It’s such a fun color! Our Team Just Spent An HOUR Debating On Whether This Disney World Drink Is Pinker Or Not 24.

One of our favorite parts about Disney World is that all are welcome, and people travel from across the globe to visit the most magical place on earth. Disney is a diverse place full of guests and Cast Members with unique stories — that’s what makes it so much fun!

It’s our happy place Recently, Disney World hosted a special event for participants in Disney’s educational mentorship program called Disney Dreamers Academy. The event featured celebrity appearances, upbeat music, and more — let’s take a look! The Disney Dreamers Academy event was designed to “broaden career awareness and create exclusive enrichment opportunities for 100 Black high school students and teens from underrepresented communities,” according to Disney. ©Disney Between March 3rd and March 6th, singer and actress Kelly Rowland, along with an impressive lineup of celebrity speakers, came to Disney World to inspire and mentor young students. In honor of the 15-year anniversary, guests in the Magic Kingdom were treated to a special cavalcade featuring students in the Disney Dreamers Academy. Disney Dreamers Academy Cavalcade Mickey made a special appearance during the cavalcade as the leader of the Jones High School drumline. Lookin’ GREAT, Mickey! Oh, and the icon herself Kelly Rowland had a special spot in the cavalcade, too! We even saw Kelly Rowland! After the cavalcade, she stuck around in the Magic Kingdom to talk about her role as the program ambassador for the 15th anniversary of the Disney Dreamers Academy! Later that evening, we made our way to EPCOT where the event continued with more FUN! Mickey’s dance moves were unmatched. You go, Mickey! It was SO fun!

When you walk into Disneyland and see that Mickey Mouse flower bed, you know it’s gonna be a good day! Disneyland Entrance However, if you’ve been to Disneyland the last few days, you might have noticed that Mickey isn’t there. After nearly 70 years of operation, Mickey is absent from the hillside under the Disneyland Railroad. Why? Because Disney is celebrating another iconic Mouse for International Women’s History month! We’ve seen some great snacks over in Disney World celebrating Women’s History Month, so let’s take a look at Disneyland’s tribute to their most iconic lady! There have been seasonal changes to the Mickey flowers that greet you when you walk into Disneyland, but this is the first time that Minnie’s been in the spotlight, and she looks beautiful! Her big pink bow looks amazing, and we love the details on her eyelashes. Minnie Flowers at the Disneyland Entrance! A team of 13 horticulture Cast Members created the Minnie flowers in the late hours of the night before March 1st. The Minnie design includes 1,750 individual plants, with the bow alone containing roughly 750 Nemesia plants! The flowers around Minnie include pansies, violas, and petunias. Minnie in full bloom! Horticulture Specialist Stacy Wise created the Minnie design! She said, “It’s amazing that we’re having this step for Women’s History Month, and having Minnie Mouse featured is fantastic,” she said. “Minnie Mouse is just as iconic as Mickey Mouse, and she needs a little face time.” Here’s a look at how Disney did it! We’re so excited to see Minnie Mouse get some much-deserved recognition at Disneyland’s entrance! We’re always staying up to date on all the latest in all things Disney, so stay tuned to DFB for more. Click here to see which ICONIC Disneyland Treat is Returning Soon!

Just like its iconic rides and restaurants and Mickey-shaped snacks, Disney is well known for its classic movies! But just like how every Disney snack isn’t exactly a hit, not every Disney movie is a box office smash! Encanto is so fun! While Disney certainly has had its fair share of cinematic mega hits, some movies straight up FLOPPED. But that doesn’t mean they don’t still have their fans! Not every fan-favorite Disney movie can be a box office smash — for every Frozen 2, there’s an Atlantis: The Lost Empire. ©Disney However, some of Disney’s most beloved classics are actually underrated sleeper hits that developed fandom YEARS after their initial releases, like these 7 fan-favorite Disney movies! Hocus Pocus Considering how the movie has become a Halloween season SENSATION nowadays, it might come as a shock to some that Hocus Pocus was actually kind of a box office bomb when it was first released in 1993. It came in fourth on its opening weekend, earning just $8 million against a budget of $28 million. It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus With stiff family film competition from the blockbuster Free Willy, Hocus Pocus quickly fell off the box office charts. It’s hard to compete with an orphan boy and his whale, even when you have Bette Midler! However, Hocus Pocus steadily earned a fan following over the years, becoming an annual Halloween tradition and even returning to theaters and climbing to the TOP of the box office in 2020! ©Disney The movie has become SO beloved that Disney made a long-awaited sequel, to be released on Disney+ later this year, and it’s easily one of the most anticipated movies of 2022! Fantasia Sure, Sorcerer Mickey is a bonafide sensation, but he (and the rest of the movie in which he starred) was not exactly a hit when he first debuted in 1940. Upon its initial release, Fantasia was considered a dud, earning VERY little compared to other Disney animated classics and falling well below expectations. His hat lights up!! A lot of the “failure” was chalked up to the expensive “Fantasound” surround sound system Walt had designed for theaters, especially for Fantasia’s release, and World War II preventing Disney from releasing the movie in Europe. But the movie, which Walt predicted would be popular for decades, was also ahead of its time, according to the Smithsonian. In the psychedelic 1960s, it gained a cult following, and directors including Steven Spielberg and Wes Craven have praised it. Fantasmic! Re-releases of Fantasia in 1969 and 1990 proved profitable at the box office, and the movie has spawned merchandise, and even landed its own adored show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! All it took was a cool 60+ years to develop an appreciation for it! Live-Action Dumbo This one is a bit of a puzzle! While Disney’s recent spree of live-action remakes has been MOSTLY hugely successful, the Dumbo re-creation by Tim Burton in 2019 was…not so much. Dumbo Even though the movie was visually beautiful, star-studded, and JUST different enough from the original, it’s considered the least successful of the live-action remakes, opening to a modest $45 million. That might sound like a lot, but when you compare it to other live-action remakes like Beauty and the Beast (opening weekend of $174 million) and The Lion King (opening weekend of $185 million), it’s pretty small potatoes. We still love you While it ultimately grossed more than $350 million worldwide, Disney sunk about $300 million into advertising for the film, and ultimately lost money, according to Deadline. Of course, even though to many it can’t hold a candle to the original, the Dumbo remake still has plenty of fans who appreciate its originality and the irresistible adorability of the lil elephant! The Black Cauldron Released in the mid ’80s after a 4-year stretch without a Disney animated film, The Black Cauldron is perhaps the biggest Disney box office #fail. Black Cauldron MagicBand While Disney’s announced budget for the film was $25 million, according to D23, Black Cauldron Production Manager Don Hahn said in a documentary that the movie wound up costing $44 million. That would make it the MOST expensive animated film ever at the time, but it made just $21 million at the box office. Ouch. Black Cauldron MagicBand Over the years, though it remains one of the lesser-known animated classics, The Black Cauldron earned acclaim and fanfare for plenty of firsts, like the fact that it was the first PG rating for Disney and the first to use CGI imagery, according to Slate. Treasure Planet Unfortunately, another animated movie made the same mistakes when Treasure Planet, again one of the most expensive animated films at the time, failed to succeed in the box office. ©Disney Released in 2002 on a WHOPPING budget of $140 million, the movie — essentially a sci-fi riff on Treasure Island — made just $110 at the worldwide box office, losing Disney a considerable sum of money, according to Box Office Mojo, IMDB’s Box Office information service. Critically, it faired much better, and the film has gone on to earn its own little cavalcade of super fans who love it for its original story and its A-list voice cast. Atlantis: The Lost Empire On paper, Atlantis: The Lost Empire sounds like it COULD have been a huge hit, and a game-changing movie for Disney, venturing in the CGI world of animated sci-fi with an original and adventurous tale of the lost city of Atlantis. In reality, though, things didn’t pan out. Atlantis: The Lost Empire MagicBand The 2001 film made a box office total of $185, against a budget of up to $120 million, which is considered a bomb when you’re working with those numbers. The movie was released in competition with the first of the Shrek films, and well, it was crushed by that lovable green ogre. The Lost Empire also got lost to time, becoming largely forgotten by Disney fans over the years. It’s Kida! But there’s still a STRONG horde of diehard Atlantis stans who adore it for its striking visuals, amazing voice acting, and original plot line, making it 100% worth a revisit! Flubber Here’s a DIFFERENT kind of a flop for Disney fans: while Robin Williams’ quirky Flubber actually made a decent chunk of money at the box office, earning $178 million in 1997, it was a HUGE fail among critics! ©Disney The whimsical story of “flying rubber” scored 24% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is QUITE rotten. Though it was pretty much ignored by movie critics, the movie has its fair share of Flubber fans (flans?), who love it for Robin Williams’ mad scientist performance and the weird cuteness of the green goo…?! Flubber While MANY Disney movies have become MEGA hits at the box office, these are some examples that just didn’t succeed in different ways for different reasons. But despite their lackluster earnings, they still hold a special place in our hearts! If You Haven’t Seen These 10 Disney Movies, Are You Even a Disney Fan?

When you spend all day at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, you need a SERIOUS pick-me-up. Did someone say coffee time? Hello from the Pacific Wharf Cafe! Oh, wait, it’s us! WE said coffee time! But we’re not just going to head to Starbucks and grab a frappuccino. Oh no, we’re going for something a little more special, something that takes Horchata and turns it into a Cold Brew. OH, YES. If you’re not familiar with Horchata, it’s a super refreshing Mexican drink made with rice and cinnamon. But over at Pacific Wharf Cafe, it’s been upgraded as a Cold Brew. We had something similar at Disneyland last month — here’s what that drink looked like: Horchata Cold Brew from January This Horchata Cold Brew is a creamy blend of Cold Brew and House-made Rice and Cinnamon. Yum! THIS version of the Horchata Cold Brew looks less layered and just more like a regular Cold Brew. However, like the previous one, it was DELICIOUS. Similar to other good cold brews, the coffee flavor is light and smooth with no bitterness. Coffee acquired We also got the strong cinnamon flavor from the Horchata, and as a whole, the drink was velvety smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. Horchata Cold Brew If you’d like to get your caffeine fix with a horchata twist, head on over to Pacific Wharf Cafe’s Cappuccino Cart — it will cost ‘ya $6.

If you’ve been on the Disney side of the internet for the past few weeks, odds are you’ve seen a LOT about Disney World’s new Star Wars Hotel. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a fully immersive two-night trip aboard the cruise ship-like Starcruiser, the Halcyon. Though you aren’t really soaring through space, the experience is designed to last the entire duration of your stay; that means a trip on Galactic Starcruiser could mean missing two park days. Can it possibly be worth it? Well, the answer to this question is, of course, subjective. It depends on your travel party and your priorities — but we can at least make the decision a little bit easier for you. Yes, If You’re Into It. Missing two park days for Galactic Starcruiser certainly CAN be worth it. The experience is totally immersive and unlike any other; it’s a whole new level of theme and play. If you think you’d enjoy interacting with characters and getting fully immersed in a Star Wars story MORE than you’d enjoy a theme park day — then it’s worth it. Engineering Room You also might consider it worth missing two park days if you’ve been to Disney World many times before. Sure, you know what it’s like to ride Pirates of the Caribbean or watch Festival of the Lion King, but you’ve never been on a space cruise and come face to face with the First Order. The novelty of the experience on its own can make Galactic Starcruiser a better choice than two theme park days. And besides the immersion, you’ll see awesome shows, experience excellent service, and eat delicious food — all things that you might’ve done in the theme parks as well. Dessert Something else to consider is that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser removes some of the worst parts of Disney World. It’s not hot, it’s not crowded, and it doesn’t require a lot of complicated planning to get your money’s worth. You just show up and experience the trip. If skipping the heat, crowds, and stress of two theme park days sounds good to you, it could also make the Starcruiser worth it. And lastly, you do get a partial theme park day while you’re on the Starcruiser. Guests on Galactic Starcruiser get to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on a “planetary excursion” to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Shuttles run from about 9AM to 4PM. Batuu Technically, you’re not limited to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge either. If you want to pop out to ride Toy Story Mania, you can! Still, seven hours is a little over half of a typical Hollywood Studios day, so you won’t get the full park experience either. It’s something to consider! Click here to learn more about the immersive experience on Starcruiser! No, There’s a Lot More to Do in the Parks. But for some, Starcruiser just won’t be worth missing two theme park days. For one, if you don’t think you’ll get involved in the story, you might want to head to the theme parks. Without your participation, this experience might not be worth the cost — much less missing two theme park days. Magic Kingdom If you don’t love Star Wars and want to experience more stories during your trip, head to the parks! Disney World theme parks let you experience SO many stories on a surface level, while Starcruiser really throws you headfirst into a Star Wars story. Another reason Starcruiser might not be worth missing two park days is if you want to experience the rest of Disney World and this is your first trip. There’s a LOT to do in Disney World — more than you might expect — and losing two park days could mean you don’t get to do it all depending on the length of your trip. EPCOT Of course, you also need to think about your family when making the decision. If you’ve got two Star Wars-lovin’ kiddos, GREAT! But Galactic Starcruiser doesn’t have a lot geared towards little ones under seven years old. Your kids might have a lot more fun spending the day in Magic Kingdom than on a fake space cruise. And finally, the elephant in the room…it could be a LOT cheaper to visit the theme parks for two days instead of going on Starcruiser. For a family of four, a two-night voyage on Galactic Starcruiser will run you around $6,000, four days in Disney World might cost a family of four around the same amount. Animal Kingdom If your budget is making the decision, swinging for the theme park days and skipping the pricy Starcruiser experience might be the better option. If you need help deciding if a trip on Starcruiser is worth the money AT ALL, we got you covered right here. Need help deciding if Starcruiser is worth the price? Click here! Once again, the “worth it” question is really up to you! Hopefully, breaking down the different aspects of whether or not Starcruiser could be worth missing two park days helps you to land on what’s right for YOUR family.

March is International Women’s History Month, and last year Disney Springs had quite the celebration! Celebrate HER Story in Disney Springs! We’ve already been celebrating BIG throughout Disney World with new cupcakes inspired by female Imagineers Mary Blair, Leota Toombs, and Dorothea Redmond. This year, the celebration is also back at a Disney Springs location that has come up with the perfect way to recognize some of our favorite courageous female characters — with coffee! Throughout the month of March, Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company is rolling out some awesome new latte art at their location in The Landing in Disney Springs! This is the ONLY place in Disney World to get ripple latte art (or what we like to call “face coffee”) which is “printed” on select beverages with a special machine. Joffreys in Disney Springs In honor of International Women’s History Month, Joffrey’s will bring back its exclusive, limited-time latte art available throughout March! Check out Merida’s cute pose on top of some delicious, foamy coffee (perfectly Instagram-able). We’re excited to check out what other ripple prints will be available! Princess prints were available last year, so we’re excited to see them back. We can’t wait to say cheers to our female heroes with these fun new designs on select beverages.

If you’re traveling to Disney California Adventure soon, you can’t miss the Food & Wine Festival! Lucky Fortune Cookery We’ve been experiencing all the excitement so far, including special entertainment, merchandise, and lots of delicious eats! And while you’re at the park, don’t forget to stop by Lucky Fortune Cookery for some special festival bites. Menu Here at Lucky Fortune Cookery, there’s just ONE special festival item this year, the Mushroom Bao. Small but mighty menu! Let’s see how this quick service spot holds up at one of our favorite Disneyland festivals! Eats It’s made with Hoisin-glazed mushrooms, Asian slaw, and jalapeño in a steamed bao. It’s brand-new this year, AND it’s available to purchase with the Sip & Savor Pass! Mushroom Bao Bun The veggies in this bun are fresh, but kind of plain. We didn’t taste much of the Hoisin flavor with the mushrooms, so it could’ve used more. There was a HINT of Asian flavor in there, but we didn’t think it was enough. If you aren’t a fan of mushrooms, you’ll probably want to steer clear. Mushroom Bao Bun However, if you’d like to try this snack out for yourself, it’s $6.45. Overall We didn’t hate the Mushroom Bao, but it could have been more exciting with some more flavor. We would’ve liked a touch of soy sauce or some more flavor on the mushrooms, but overall we think there are better things on the regular menu at Lucky Fortune Cookery! That’s all for Lucky Fortune Cookery! Keep following along with DFB for more news and updates from the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival!

Spring is just around the corner and Disney World is gearing up for the warmer weather with all sorts of changes around the park…including the arrival of this year’s EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival that goes on all season long! Happy Flower & Garden, everyone! Spring also brings new menu items from many Disney restaurants and snack spots including the new strawberry salad and shortcake treat at Pecos Bill. But that’s not the only place that’s getting a strawberry snack for the season! Sharing in the strawberry fever is Vivo il Gelato in Disney Springs with a Strawberry Cannoli! Vivoli il Gelato Vivo il Gelato is most known for their over 20 different gelatos and sorbets, but they also carry several pastries including an assortment of cannoli. Last month, the Gelateria added the Maple Bacon Cannoli to their menu which we reviewed and had…mixed feelings about. Maple Bacon Cannoli However, we’ve got much higher hopes for the Strawberry Cannoli, you can’t go wrong with a classic flavor! Announced on Instagram, Vivo il Gelato describes the Strawberry cannoli as “Sweet cream made of ricotta cheese, sugar and strawberries in our delicious, crispy pastry shell.” And do we spot fresh strawberries in that cream? YUM! @vivoligelatria If you’ve got a hankering for something sweet, make sure to stop by and try out this cannoli during its time at Vivoli il Gelato. And in the meantime, keep following DFB so that you’re up to date on all the Disney food news and reviews as new treats pop up around the parks.

There is no shortage of food to try at Disneyland right now! 2022 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival The 2022 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival just started and we’ve tried everything from Fish Tacos to Avocado Toast to an Impossible Ground Beef Gyro, but there’s one Disneyland treat we can’t get off our minds. We’ve been patiently waiting for the Disneyland Easter Egg from Candy Palace to return, and it’s almost here! These chocolate Easter Eggs are a staple of springtime in Disneyland, so we’re excited to see their return. A Cast Member told us that they could be back as early as Sunday, March 6th! Fudge Easter Egg 2021 The Easter Eggs have surprise flavors inside (but if you really want to know, you can check the ingredients on the bottom of the packaging) and we love discovering the new flavors every year!

We’re live from the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival! Sonoma Terrace Sonoma Terrace is back again serving up special snacks for this year’s popular festival — and we tried the NEW items so we could tell you all about them! While Sonoma Terrace will still be serving their normal menu, they’ve added a special dish just for this year’s fest! Sonoma Terrace DCA Food and Wine Festival Menu Item Let’s go check it out! Food There’s only one festival item on this menu, but it’s a two-fer — the Old World Aged White Cheddar Lager Soup with Toasted Fig and Prosciutto Sandwich. How it comes packaged We’ll start with the soup. Okay, so Disney can get us with cheese soup, and this one is no different. It’s VERY cheesy (which is important in a cheese soup), super thick, and has a nice creamy texture. We’re going to tell you this right now — it’s one of the better things we’ve had at the festival so far! This soup is similar to the soup we saw at the 2019 festival — we loved it back then, too! This soup is an A+ BUT (and you knew that was coming, right?), the sandwich is where we became confused about this dish as a whole. Fig is the main flavor here, and it’s also a little too sweet for a sandwich. The bread, though, was HARD and the prosciutto was dry. Even dipping it in the soup didn’t make it any better. So we kinda’ wish we could JUST get the soup here. Soup and sandwich combo If you’d like to try this, though (and maybe don’t mind a sweeter sandwich), it’s available for $7.50. We’re glad we stopped by this counter-service spot to check out this festival food! If your mouth is watering just reading this, you have until April 26th, 2022 to get to the festival and try it!

We’re back at the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival trying all the new eats and drinks! So far, we’ve been VERY impressed with all the new snacks and treats available for the festival, so fingers crossed Disney can keep up with its winning streak! Willie’s Churros Over at Willie’s Churros, there’s a new churro that just hit the stand for the fest and you know we had to try it! Willie’s Churros is stepping up their game! Available now throughout the remainder of the 2022 Food and Wine Festival, is the Mango Churro for $6.25! New churro alert! Served with mango sauce, chili-lime sugar, and tamarind chamoy, this new item was a surprising win! Admittedly, we were skeptical that chili-lime and mango could work with a churro, but we seriously enjoyed this treat. The chili-lime sugar was bright and flavorful, and the mango chunks provided a sweet, juicy addition. This was another surprise! Don’t let the chamoy sauce scare you away from this churro; there was only a light drizzle of sauce, and it actually worked with the existing sour, sweet, spicy, and salty flavors. Overall, if you’re willing to be a little adventurous and think outside the box when it comes to Disney churros, you might be surprised by the new Mango Churro! Interesting flavors, but it works! We’re bringing you live updates throughout the first day of this festival, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more! Click Here to Read ALL the Menu Items for the 2022 DCA Food & Wine Festival!

We’ve got several updates that you need to read before you head to Disney World soon! Main Street U.S.A. Disney is continually updating things in their parks and at their hotels, which means that sometimes rides, attractions, and other areas will close temporarily for refurbishments. So that you don’t get caught off guard by these closures, we’ve got a list for you of everything that’s scheduled to be unavailable next week in Disney World! We’ll start our tour of this week’s closures in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom The only scheduled attraction closure in Magic Kingdom is the Walt Disney World Railroad. This attraction has been closed for a long time, and it still doesn’t have an opening date yet. Walt Disney World Railroad Part of the reason for its closure is the construction over at the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster in Tomorrowland. TRON Construction We’re expecting the Railroad to reopen when construction finishes on the TRON ride, although we don’t have an end date for that project either. We’ll keep an eye out for specific dates for both of these attractions! Get a first look at the updated Castle stage show in Magic Kingdom! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Expedition Everest — a popular roller coaster in Disney’s Animal Kingdom — is currently closed for refurbishments. Expedition Everest This attraction is expected to reopen sometime in mid-April 2022. Expedition Everest is closed right now. Finding Nemo: The Musical is closed as well, and when this attraction reopens, it’ll actually return as Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! Finding Nemo: The Musical The new show features characters from Finding Dory and will have some of the same music as the original musical. Find out how to get a rare Animal Kingdom pin! EPCOT The gift shop Souk-Al-Magreb is closed in the Morocco pavilion at EPCOT’s World Showcase. Souk-al-Magreb This spot has been closed for a while now, and it still doesn’t have a reopening date. On Disney World’s calendar, it’s scheduled to be closed at least through mid-April. Check out our FAVORITE dishes at the 2022 Flower & Garden Festival in EPCOT! Disney’s Hollywood Studios A couple of long-term closures are continuing in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Voyage of the Little Mermaid show is closed right now, and it doesn’t have a reopening date yet. But you can still visit the Journey of the Little Mermaid attraction in Magic Kingdom! Voyage of the Little Mermaid And the nighttime show Fantasmic! is also closed. We know that this show will return sometime in 2022, but Disney hasn’t given a more specific timeline yet. Fantasmic! Billboard When it does return, there will be some updates such as new characters and stunts! Click here to learn more about the changes coming to Fantasmic! Disney World Water Parks Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon water park recently reopened, but now Blizzard Beach is closed for some refurbishments. Blizzard Beach There isn’t an opening date for this park yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we learn more. Check out the menu changes at Typhoon Lagoon. Disney World Hotels Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is still open to guests, but they began refurbishment recently on 200 new DVC Resort Studios, which will be located in the Big Pine Key building. ©Disney Some DVC villas will also be getting updates during this project. DVC members can currently book their stay at these rooms, which are expected to open in the summer of 2022. Check out the concept art for the new rooms here! Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort has still not reopened yet, but you can make your reservation now if you want to stay there after it reopens on March 31st, 2022. All-Star Sports is reopening soon! This hotel is the last one to reopen, so after March 31st, all of Disney World’s hotels will have returned! See a full room tour at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort here! Hotel Pool Refurbishments A couple of Disney World hotel pools are currently closed, but there are other pools open for guests staying at these resorts. The Cozy Cone Pool (in the Cars section of the hotel) is currently closed. Cozy Cone is closed This closure is expected to last through mid-April. Cozy Cone Pool While the Cozy Cone Pool is closed, the Flippin’ Fins Pool and Big Blue Pool are open for guests at this hotel. And the Schoolyard Splashground has also reopened and is available to guests now! The Schoolyard Sprayground is open! At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Samawati Springs Pool (at Kidani Village) is closed. It will remain closed through April 2022. Guests at this hotel can head to the Uzima Springs Pool (at Jambo House) instead. Samawati Springs Pool And finally, the Grandstand Leisure Pool at Disney’s Saratoga Springs is closed right now, and it’s expected to remain closed through mid-March 2022. Saratoga Springs pool That’s it for our round-up of all the closures in Disney World next week! Keep following DFB for more updates as you plan your upcoming vacation.

Thanks to a little thing we like to call the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, which brings new snacks, entertainment, and merchandise to the West Coast, we’re finding new treats all over Disneyland! Smokejumpers Grill Of course, the festival features a wide variety of special food booths that serve fun new desserts and entrees, but some of Disney California Adventure’s other quick-service restaurants got in on the action, too! Now that we’ve covered the heavy-hitters at the DCA Food & Wine Festival, it’s time to turn our attention to some of the other food and beverage locations in Disneyland, like Smokejumpers Grill! We found several new seasonal and festival-exclusive items on the menu, so you know we had to give them a try. We went for the Pepperoni Pizza Slider for $7.99 and the Peach-Blueberry Lemonade Cocktail for $13.50. There are some exciting new additions to the menu! The Peach-Blueberry Lemonade Cocktail is made with vodka, blue curaçao, peach-blueberry lemonade, and blueberry-flavored boba balls. It was very sour and had a strong fruit flavor (we mainly tasted peaches). The vodka flavor was present, but not overpowering, but the blue curaçao stood out the most. As with most of Disney’s boba beverages, the little boba balls got stuck in our straw a few times. Slider and Peach Blueberry Lemonade Cocktail Our Pepperoni Pizza Slider contained an Angus beef & pork sausage patty, pepperoni, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fried pepperoni. It’s served on a ciabatta slider roll and topped with pepperoncini. At $7.99, we thought it was a little small, but if you’re looking for a little snack, this might be it! Pepperoni Pizza Slider We were pleasantly surprised by this slider! The meat was cooked perfectly, the bread had an excellent texture (and it wasn’t dry!!), and there was an even ratio of pizza sauce to meat. If you hate spicy things, be aware that the pepperoni had a slightly spicy flavor, but it wasn’t burn-your-mouth-spicy at all. Interestingly, all the flavors in this slider tasted sort of like spaghetti and meatballs! Cheeeesy! Overall, we were quite happy with both new items on the menu here at Smokejumpers Grill! If you enjoy a tart, fruity cocktail, or a warm, Italian sandwich, visit this restaurant in Disney California Adventure. In the meantime, stay tuned for more food reviews, Disney news, and more!

It’s MARCH in Disney World — Spring is around the corner, we’re starting to see consistently warm weather, and it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! Spring is coming! Buuuut with the warm weather and springtime come even more crowds. We’ve already seen the parks be very busy during January and February, so we are just a bit nervous about how big the Spring Break crowds are going to be. Since the month has kicked off and some schools may already be out on break, let’s take a look at the wait times from around Disney World this week! Magic Kingdom Let’s head to Magic Kingdom — this week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 93 minutes! Wooohooo After that, we had Jungle Cruise at 73 minutes, Peter Pan’s Flight at 71 minutes, Splash Mountain at 63 minutes, Space Mountain at 53 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 49 minutes, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 47 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 44 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 40 minutes, Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at 38 minutes, Astro Orbiter at 37 minutes, and “it’s a small world” at 32 minutes. Are you a Galactic Hero?

And rides that only had wait times in the single digits were Carousel of Progress at 4 minutes, Tom Sawyer Island at 2 minutes, Country Bear Jamboree at 2 minutes, and Liberty Square Riverboat at 1 minute. Rides with no waits were Hall of Presidents, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. EPCOT Over in EPCOT, the ride with the longest average wait was actually a tie this week! Both Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Frozen Ever After were at 84 minutes. Frozen Ever After Then, we had Test Track at 60 minutes, Soarin’ at 41 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 23 minutes, Spaceship Earth at 19 minutes, Living with the Land at 17 minutes, The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 16 minutes, Gran Fiesta Tour at 12 minutes, Journey into Imagination at 11 minutes, and Turtle Talk with Crush at 11 minutes. Can you win? The theater shows in EPCOT all had zero waits this past week! These included: Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China! Hollywood Studios Moving on to Hollywood Studios, Rise of the Resistance had the highest average wait time this week at 137 minutes. Rise of the Resistance After that, we had Tower of Terror at 116 minutes, Slinky Dog Dash at 106 minutes, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 77 minutes, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith at 72 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 67 minutes, and Toy Story Mania at 66 minutes.
