Disney World is home to some pretty exclusive items! Fire and Ice Coffee There are some things that are pretty difficult to get like popcorn buckets, 50th Anniversary Collectibles, and more! We find ourselves rope-dropping, or camping out, for multiple things in the Disney Parks, not just theme parks, and this Disney Springs dessert spot requires some real patience. Gideon’s Bakehouse is constantly putting out new, creative, and delicious baked goods like the coffee cake cookie, spicy cake, and a hot cookie! Gideon’s just released another new item, and this one’s already making our mouths water! Gideon’s flavor of the month for March is Coffee Toffee Chocolate Chip (we already tried the cookie back in 2021), but now there’s a CAKE! This Coffee Toffee Vanilla Bean Cake is made with 3 layers of Vanilla Coffee Bean Cake and filled with Gideon’s signature Coffee Buttercream that has crunchy Toffee pieces in it! ©Gideon’s Bakehouse The catch? The cake is only available on weekends in March at the original East End Market and Disney Springs locations. There’s a limit for 2 per customer, and it can’t be pre-ordered as a whole item. So if the cake is a must-get for you, you’ll want to stop by Gideon’s on a Saturday or Sunday this month! Lining up for Gideon’s Head on over to Gideon’s this weekend to try this Coffee Toffee Vanilla Bean Cake! We’ve seen cakes like these at Gideon’s go super fast, so hurry on over to Disney Springs to grab a slice.

The 2022 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is here! Chef Goofy in Disney California Adventure! We’ve been reporting on all of it from the new foods to all of the merchandise you can find, and we’re not done yet! While there’s some debate on how to pronounce it, we can say with confidence that we’re excited to spot new macarons in Disneyland, and we just found a couple more, so let’s take a look! Over at the Kayla’s Cake stand, we tried two new maracons! One of them was Espresso Milk Tea, and the other one was a Unicorn. These tiny treats are too cute to eat — they are little works of art! New Macarons! The Espresso Milk Tea Macaron mainly just tasted like sugar, but it had a hint of coffee flavor in it, which we really liked! Espresso Milk Tea Macaron! The Unicorn Macaron was a work of art! From the winged eyeliner, to the blush, to the sprinkles on her forehead, there was so much detail on this tiny dessert! The Unicorn mainly tasted like sugar and sprinkles, but we can’t complain, it was still super yummy! Unicorn Macaron! If we were to pick a winner, we would probably go with the Espresso Milk Tea Macaron just because of that slight coffee flavor, but both of them were delicious! You can find them at the Kayla’s Cake stand now. Kayla’s Cake Macarons! We’ll keep trying every new snack and treat that pops up around the Disney Parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

There’s WAY more new food to be had at Disneyland Resort outside of the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. Award Wieners Now, don’t get us wrong, we’ve been enjoying our time at the Food & Wine Festival, snacking on such delicious things like an Impossible Gyro, Glazed BBQ Pork Belly, Avocado Toast, Black & Tan Potato Puffs, and more! But we found two new dishes outside of the festival to try, too! Two new seasonal menu items have been added to Award Wieners at Disney California Adventure: a Southwest Cheesesteak for $15.49 and Strawberry Shortcake Funnel Cake Fries for $8.99. All right, then! New menu items! So we did what we do — we ordered both! The Southwest Cheesesteak is made with Thinly-sliced Steak with Caramelized Onions, Poblano Peppers, Pepper Jack, Guacamole, and Chipotle Aїoli on a toasted Baguette, served with Cuties Mandarin Oranges or Filmstrip Fries — yes, we opted for fries. So here’s the thing — this takes a little bit longer to make than other items on the menu here — a Cast Member told us about 9 minutes total. Is it worth the wait? Well, guess what? This beautiful sandwich is worth the wait. There’s a ton of delicious steak, onions, and peppers on a fresh and toasted baguette that makes our taste buds sing! We were a little worried about the chipotle aioli, but in the end, we found it to be mild. However, we could’ve used more of those Filmstrip Fries. Meat and veggies for days! However, the Strawberry Shortcake Funnel Cake Fries didn’t live up to the hype. They just weren’t as tasty as we felt they should’ve been. We were disappointed Other seasonal flavors here have been a lot tastier (like the Chocolate-Marshmallow Funnel Cake Fries we had last year). The strawberry sauce on top of these was also almost sickly sweet. We would pass on having these again. Not our thing If you’d like to try either of these treats out, though, they will be available for a limited time at Award Wieners.

From the loaded questions like “Is this experience worth the money?” to the simple questions like “Are there french fries in space?” we have answers to ALL your burning questions! Today, though, we’re tackling a different question: Do Star Wars characters accept tips? The Star Wars hotel is often compared to a cruise ship experience. Guests board the Galactic Starcruiser and remain on board for a mutli-day experience, with one excursion to Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Welcome aboard! When you arrive at the hotel with your sweet pair of wheels, you might hand the keys over to a friendly valet. While you’re out and about, saving the galaxy and such, you might come back to a room with some fresh towels. Can you leave your crew members a tip? Yes, there is housekeeping in space Well, straight from the source, here’s the answer: YES! Disney states that your vacation package (you know, that hefty $6,000 you forked over) covers the gratuities for food service, but that’s it. ©Disney If you would like to tip the housekeeping crew members, valet, or maybe a bell services crew member, you can — just make sure to do it at the time of service. Cast Members can help with luggage, too! Unlike a traditional cruise, where tips are collected at the end of the voyage, Disney recommends giving your tip to the Cast Member at the time of service. Make sure to bring some cash — last we checked, Star Wars characters aren’t trading crypto yet. When people say their Ethereum is going “straight to the moon,” they’re talking about a moon in another galaxy. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser During our stay on the Halcyon (that’s the name of the Starcruiser), we found the Cast Members to be friendly, welcoming, and SUPER helpful. It felt like the characters took the time to get to know us, which made our experience feel personal. Cast Member If you happen to find yourself on the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, now you know the protocol! In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news, reviews, and more!

Something special about the Food & Wine Festival in Disney California Adventure is that the festival eats are not limited to the food booths around the parks. Disney’s California Adventure Some normal restaurants around the park get in on the festival fun as well! So while you can still snack around at the many temporary Festival Marketplaces, you also don’t want to miss the specialty offerings at certain participating restaurants. We’re heading to one of those restaurants now to try out some new (and returning) snacks and treats! At the Paradise Gardens Park section of Disney California Adventure, you’ll find the quick-service restaurant Paradise Garden Grill. This spot sometimes serves fresh Mediterranean dishes, but most of the time it has specialty offerings for whichever festival is going on in the park! Paradise Garden Grill Today, we can’t wait to try out some of the brand-new dishes on the menu! Menu There are several returning options on the menu here that we’re excited to see back at this festival. The Brisket Fries, Jerk Chicken, and Beer-Battered Fish Tacos are all back from previous festivals. 2022 Menu There are a couple of options that look familiar, but Disney has marked them as new. This could mean there was a change in the ingredients or some new flavors, so we’ll have to give them a try to find out! Eats We’ll start with the returning items. The Brisket Fries are french fries topped with shredded smoked BBQ brisket, cheddar cheese sauce, pico de gallo, chipotle crema, and green onions. You can get a serving for $13.49, and they are available with the Sip & Savor Pass. 2020 Brisket Fries These fries were delicious when we had them in 2020, and the portion size was HUGE! You could share this dish with a few friends if you’re just looking for a snack! 2020 Brisket Fries The Jerk Chicken is Caribbean-inspired half chicken with mango-pineapple salsa served with black beans, white rice, and fried plantains. A serving costs $15.99. 2011 Jerk spiced Chicken Drumstick with Mango Salsa The Beer-battered Fish Tacos are Baja-style beer-battered fish on corn tortillas topped with slaw, pico de gallo, cilantro crema, and lime wedge with house-made tortilla chips and roasted red chile-tomato salsa. One serving is $13.49, or you can use a Sip & Savor Pass. 2020 Beer-battered Fish Tacos Back in 2020, we were impressed with the light and flakey fish on these tacos, and that crunchy slaw added some awesome flavor! 2020 Beer Battered Fish Tacos The Char Siu Ribs are Chinese-inspired grilled pork ribs with steamed rice and almond-cabbage salad. These cost $16.99 and are part of the Sip & Savor Pass as well. Char Siu Ribs Although the rice part of this dish didn’t do much for us flavor-wise, the salad here really impressed us — the noodles are like Ramen noodles and the flavor is very balanced — you get some savory, but the almond adds a bit of sweetness. The cabbage in the salad is not overwhelming. As far as the ribs go? Well, let’s just say these are a BBQ-lovers dream! The sauce has a combo of sweet, with a hint of Asian zing. DELICIOUS ribs The last of the savory options is perfect for all the plant-based eaters out there! It’s the Impossible Gyro, which has seasoned plant-based meat served in pita bread with dairy-free tzatziki, seasoned tomatoes, cucumber, and onions. It costs $12.99. Impossible Gyro Um…HELLO! The flavors in this baby are phenomenal. The Impossible meat has DONE the Impossible — it tastes like lamb. The tzatziki sauce is nice and savory, and inside the gyro are well-seasoned veggies that are balanced by the cucumber. There’s a bit of a peppery flavor that just brings it all together. Our biggest complaint is that the pita was kinda’ dry. Overall, though, if you like Mediterranean flavors, you’ll want to grab this. DELISH And to finish off with something sweet, you can grab the Strawberry Shortcake. This is a pound cake with fresh strawberries and mascarpone crème. This dessert costs $5.79, and it is part of the Sip & Savor Pass as well. Drinks You can grab Mexican-style Lager at this restaurant for $13. This year’s lager comes from Golden Road Brewing. Or you can try out the NEW Bourbon-Strawberry Lemonade, which is garnished with fresh strawberry and mint. This drink is $14. Bourbon Strawberry Lemonade First, our reporter is not a big fan of whiskey or bourbon but still loved this drink. To us, it tasted like a strawberry lemonade with just a little bit of a boozy kick that wasn’t TOO much. So the drink here was a winner, too! Paradise Garden Grill Special Event Cart But wait, there’s more! Because there are also some festival goodies at the Paradise Garden Grill Seasonal Cart. So let’s head over there and give everything a taste! Menu The menu here is small, but we’ve got some Pretzel Bites to try out, as well as a unique Cotton Candy flavor. Paradise Gardens Special Event Cart Menu So let’s dive in! Eats The Pretzel Bites are served with a Beer Cheese Sauce, and you already know where we’re going with this because we are ALL about some beer cheese sauce here at DFB. So we were SO excited to grab this. However, we were a little disappointed. Why? Well, you only get five tiny pretzel bites and a SUPER small side of cheese sauce for $6.50. We mean, these aren’t BAD, but we don’t think this is a very good value. Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese So let’s try the Berry Cotton Candy for $6. We did like this a little better — it’s cotton candy. The flavor is really good, too, and doesn’t taste artificial like a lot of berry-flavored things. We’re still not entirely sure what KIND of berry flavor it is, although if we had to guess, it’s probably just a mixed berry flavor. Berry Cotton Candy If you love cotton candy, we’d recommend trying it. Overall Although we loved everything we tried from Paradise Garden Grill itself, the pretzel bites at the special events cart were a big miss for us (seriously, we’ll just head over to Avengers Campus where we can get a GIANT pretzel with beer cheese sauce for $13). If we had to choose a favorite here, though, we might go with the Impossible Gyro just because of its delicious Mediterranean flavors and its Impossible “meat” that really did taste like meat. But you can’t go wrong with either of the dishes at the restaurant — and the cotton candy from the cart is a pretty delicious dessert to end your meal with here.

You’ve heard the old expression, “It took the wind out of our sails,” but what about “It took the splash out of our mountain“? Disney World is no stranger to a ride evacuation; popular attractions like Splash Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean have been going through it lately! Splash Mountain During our recent trip to the Magic Kingdom, we noticed that Splash Mountain wasn’t, well, splashing, so we went over to investigate. One of Frontierland’s most popular attractions was missing something pretty major: PEOPLE! Oh no! At around 10:30AM, Splash Mountain was evacuated and guests were helped off the attraction. We saw some Cast Members around the ride making sure everyone was safe. The attraction was evacuated this morning The attraction is still currently listed as “Temporarily Closed” on the My Disney Experience app, and Cast Members are standing in front of the entrance to inform guests of the closure. Cast Members are stationed at the entrance In the event of an unexpected evacuation or closure, Cast Members may provide guests with an “experience redemption” that they can use to ride another Disney World attraction via the Lightning Lane. Keep in mind that an experience redemption pass is not guaranteed. You don’t see the line THIS empty very often! We’ll continue to monitor the status of Splash Mountain, so make sure to stay tuned for more updates!

A bill that has drawn a lot of criticism in Florida is currently making its way through Florida’s legislative system. Rainbow Collection What bill is it? What criticism has it drawn? And where does Disney stand in all of this? We’re breaking it down here for you. A Bit of Background First, let’s share a little bit of background surrounding the situation in Florida. As The Hollywood Reporter shares, on February 25th the Florida House of Representatives passed a bill that critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The Hill reports that the bill is now set to go before the Florida Senate on Monday. The bill’s official name is the “Parental Rights in Education bill.” If passed, the bill would “prohibit primary school educators from engaging in discussions related to sexual orientation or gender identity.” The Hill shares that the bill would “restrict mention of LGBTQ+ topics in classrooms that are not ‘age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.'” Pride Month Cake from EPCOT. Under the bill, parents would also be given “greater authority to take legal action against school districts believed to be in violation.” Disney’s Response According to Good Morning America, Disney has issued a statement regarding the bill. In the statement, Disney notes that they “understand how important this issue is to [their] LGBTQ+ employees and many others.” Disney goes on to say that for “nearly a century, Disney has been a unifying force that brings people together. We are determined that it remains a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.” According to Disney, they feel that the biggest impact they can have in “creating a more inclusive world is through the inspiring content [they] produce, the welcoming culture [they] create here and the diverse community organizations [they] support, including those representing the LGBTQ+ community.” More About Disney’s Response According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney’s current CEO, Bob Chapek, “appears to want to handle certain controversial topics through internal dialogue.” Disney’s chief diversity officer, Latondra Newton, reportedly sent a message to staff recently that indicated that Bob Chapek had asked: “to meet with leaders in our company’s LGBTQ+ community to discuss how Disney can best support these important and valued employees and cast members.” The Hollywood Reporter shares that Newton indicated Disney would be scheduling a “Reimagine Tomorrow” conversation dedicated to “issues of concern to our LGBTQ+ colleagues.” Newton also announced a “Reimagine Tomorrow Global Summit” that would be company-wide. This summit is set to be “the first gathering of our employees worldwide to discuss our progress on and plans for improving diversity, equity and inclusion at Disney.” Chapek will reportedly be participating in the summit. Pride Shirt According to The Hollywood Reporter, a source has said that Iger was more prone to speaking out against issues “not only when issues affected the company’s business interests but when they affected its employees.” Disney’s new chief of corporate affairs, Geoff Morrell, has stated the following about Chapek, “He believes the best way we can help create a more inclusive world is through the inspiring content we produce, the welcoming culture we create and the diverse community organizations we support.” The New York Post shares that a source close to Disney has said that they don’t deem the issue of this Bill to be irrelevant, but reportedly Chapek had not seen a need to comment. The Hollywood Reporter also points out that the management of Disney’s own government relations has changed under Chapek, and that many of those issues now fall to 2 individuals that once served in the George W. Bush administration. Marvel Pin The Hollywood Reporter does note, however, that Disney’s website affirms its support for “freedom of identity and expression.” Disney has also supported a number of LGBTQ+ organizations over the years including “Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, GLSEN, Trevor Project and Outfest.” We’ve also seen Disney support things like Gay Days, release Pride Month merchandise and snacks, and more. Rainbow Pins This is a developing situation. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the bill is expected to pass in the State’s Senate and be signed into law. We’ll continue to look for more updates and responses from Disney.

We’ve officially taken TWO voyages on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser…A.K.A. Disney World’s NEW fully immersive Star Wars Hotel. This offering is a fully-immersive two-night experience similar to a cruise ship where you are launched into your own Star Wars story on a “space cruise.” Star Wars Hotel Room That means you don’t really leave the building for the two days, besides a trip out to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. So, what about those of us that struggle with claustrophobia? We’re here with a NO BS guide to being claustrophobic at Disney’s Star Wars Hotel! How Claustrophobic Does the Hotel Feel? First up, let’s chat about how claustrophobic the hotel actually feels. For many potential guests with claustrophobia, the idea of being in a building where the windows aren’t real for two days sounds absolutely terrifying. Atrium Most common areas on Galactic Starcruiser don’t feel claustrophobic. The atrium, dining room, gift shop, lounge, and many of the hallways are spacious. The atrium and dining room in particular even have very high ceilings that help make the ship feel spacious. For most folks with mild or even moderate claustrophobia, the inside spaces feel comfortable, but let’s talk about those “windows.” Most spaces on the ship have no windows at all save for a few small ones in the atrium, your room window(s), and the massive windows on the bridge. The Bridge And where there ARE windows, you’re looking out into simulated space — not the normal outdoors. That means NO sunlight. Sure, the spaces feel wide and open and even the fake space views help with that, but it’s all artificial light in there for two days. Space Window We’ve had five different reporters visit the Star Wars hotel; two of them occasionally experience claustrophobia and had no issues while onboard the Starcruiser. Still, if you suffer from more severe claustrophobia, you could experience some uncomfortable feelings — so what if you NEED fresh air and sunlight? Click here to learn about the immersive elements on the Star Wars Hotel! How Can You Get Outside? If you’re feeling claustrophobic, what options do you have to escape the Star Wars Hotel? Well, luckily, you CAN get outside — and there are a few different ways. Entrance Sign First up, there’s the Climate Simulator which you have access to 24 hours a day. This is a courtyard on the ship that lets you head outside into the real Florida weather, see the sky, and get some fresh air whenever you need. That can be a great resource if you’re feeling like you need to breathe! Climate Simulator In story, it’s a pod that’s designed to simulate the climate of your excursion planet, A.K.A. Batuu (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios). Warning, if it’s raining in Florida, it’s raining in the Climate Simulator! During our visits, the Climate Simulator was hardly ever crowded and it did feel like a spacious way to take a break from the indoor environment. As a note, there is NO smoking in the Climate Simulator either. To smoke, you’ll need to speak to a Crew Member to be escorted to the front of the building. Climate Simulator Speaking of Batuu, you also have an excursion to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on the second day of your trip. You can visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios from around 9AM to around 4PM. If you’re really missing the sun and space, you can spend the full seven hours outside. Batuu And if all else fails, you are NOT trapped indoors on Galactic Starcruiser. Crew Members are happy to escort you completely out of the building at ANY time — whether you need something from your car or a breath of fresh air. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser We won’t lie. This WILL break the immersion a bit, but sometimes it’s better to lose that immersion than deal with panicked or uncomfortable feelings due to claustrophobia. Wondering what’s included in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? Click here! How Claustrophobic Do the Rooms Feel? Now, that is not to say that there aren’t some problem areas. For instance, the standard rooms are SMALL and you’re once again stuck with a “window” looking out to “space.” So, will you feel claustrophobic in your room? Maybe. Starcruiser Room With more than two adults in a standard room, it can feel pretty tight. You’ve got limited space in the walkways and the bathroom. Plus, the hallways leading to the rooms aren’t the widest either — though there is enough space to walk a few folks side-by-side. Truly, the rooms feel like they may have the most potential to trigger some claustrophobia. The good news is, if you’re immersed in the experience, you’re really only in the room to sleep. Starcruiser Room We also found that the rooms don’t feel nearly as claustrophobic when you’re alone. So, if you need to have some me-time in the room, just ask the other members of your travel party. To see more of the rooms, click here! Are There Any Other Problem Areas? Otherwise, the biggest factor you need to worry about if you’re claustrophobic is crowds — just like the rest of Disney World. For the most part, Galactic Starcruiser is WAY less crowded than other parts of the resort, but sometimes crowds do form. Atrium For the BIG story elements, all passengers are called to the atrium. This space is large, but the crowds do press in pretty tightly to see the show — like they would with fireworks in the parks. To mitigate this, you can step to the sides of the room or skip the shows altogether. You might not have the best view, but you’ll have breathing room. Fireworks Crowds can also form in smaller rooms around the ship such as the Engineering Room and the Cargo Hold if something exciting is happening with the story and people catch on. We had reporters crammed in the Engineering Room after a mission to hide Chewbacca with many, many other guests. Similar to the shows, if you’re feeling overwhelmed here, step away! There is typically some space in the edges of rooms that remains empty and worst-case scenario, you can always miss the excitement in the interest of staying comfortable. Chewbacca One of our reporters did note a bit of motion sickness during the transport to Batuu. Out of story language, this is a brief (3 to 8 minute) shuttle ride in a windowless vehicle. The seats are comfortable but there is a good amount of motion so if you’re prone to car sickness, you may feel that here. If this is something you are unwilling to do, either skip the Batuu trip — or speak to a Crew Member to see about other transport options. Click here to learn more about space fireworks! Overall, most spaces on the Starcruiser feel akin to spaces on a cruise ship — particularly the hallways and the dining areas. There are often windowless hallways and restaurants on cruise ships. If you’ve found you’re okay dealing with those, you’ll likely feel fine on the Starcruiser. Hallway to Passenger Cabins But keep in mind, Galactic Starcruiser is EXPENSIVE. You’re paying several thousand dollars for this experience. If your claustrophobia is so severe that you expect to miss some of the biggest story elements and/or break the immersion by heading out of the building — the experience might NOT be worth the cost. Hopefully, this guide has helped you to know what to expect when dealing with claustrophobia in “space.” As always, keep an eye on DFB for more Disney World tips and tricks for Starcruiser and BEYOND!

Change. It can be a great thing, or absolutely it can completely ruin something that was perfectly wonderful before. We’ve all dealt with a lot of change over the past few years — whether due to the pandemic or due to the ever-changing nature of life. Now, there are more changes to encounter in Disney World, but don’t worry — we’re here to guide you every step of the way. There’s always something new happening in Disney World! One of the most iconic restaurants in all of Disney World is Cinderella’s Royal Table, located inside the Castle itself. It’s one of those you’ve-got-to-do-it-at-least-once type of spots, but it ain’t cheap to eat at and reservations aren’t always easy to come by. When Cinderella’s Royal Table first reopened (post-pandemic closures), a number of changes were made. Now things are different again with a NEW food item and modifications when it comes to the character aspect of the meal. Are these changes for the best or will they take away from the experience you used to have here? Let’s find out! Atmosphere The atmosphere at Cinderella’s Royal Table is something that certainly hasn’t changed! Regardless of what other changes might take place, the classic and gorgeous atmosphere is still sure to make you feel like royalty. Royalty Only, Please For starters, the restaurant is located INSIDE of Cinderella Castle. As they say — location, location, location! The location is one of the big things (and sometimes one of the only things) that makes this restaurant a must-do. The Cast Members here are generally dressed in fairy god-person-type outfits, which we love! And you may find yourself being called by a royal title even though your Ancestry.com results failed to reveal a royal lineage. We’re Royalty Too! We Swear! In terms of seating, there are standard tables and chairs here, which are located on the various levels and in the various different seating spaces within the restaurant. From what we’ve experienced, the tables here can feel a bit squished together sometimes, so that’s something to keep in mind. Things Can Be Tight We were lucky enough to get a table right next to a window during our last trip, which felt nice and spacious in terms of having more than enough breathing room between us and other guests. If you can request a table next to the window, it’s definitely worth doing. Those windows will give you some of the most unique views of Magic Kingdom. Of course, Disney might not always be able to accommodate this request, but it never hurts to ask! That View Though! The ceilings are really high and beautifully decorated, really giving off those castle vibes. So Pretty And when you sit down, you’ll find a cloth napkin with utensils at your table. Beautiful No paper plates and plastic forks and knives here. It truly is a “fancy” dining experience, though still totally kid-friendly! Character Dining CHANGES Now, let’s get to our first big change for this meal. Back in the olden days (pre-pandemic), Cinderella Castle was a full-on character meal. As you entered the restaurant, you would have the opportunity to stand in line and take a photo with Cinderella to start your experience. Cinderella Once seated inside, you’d get the chance to see some more royal ladies including Snow White, Aurora, Jasmine, and Ariel (though the visiting princesses would fluctuate from time to time). Aurora at Cinderella’s Royal Table As we all know, due to the pandemic, Disney World closed for a period of time in 2020. When it reopened, Cinderella’s Royal Table didn’t initially reopen with it. But in September of 2020, the iconic spot reopened for select meals (and then later also reopened for breakfast). When it reopened, one BIG feature of the meal was missing…the princesses! Instead of getting to chat with your favorite royal gals or snap a photo with Cindy at the front, guests were only able to wave at Cinderella from afar while seated at their tables. Saying hello! No true selfies. No hugs. And no autographs. For the past several months, Cinderella has only made a brief appearance during meals here. When she pops up, she waves to guests and walks around one elevated dining area in the restaurant. She does some swirls, pauses for some distanced photos, and then makes her way off to her remaining royal duties. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes But now things have CHANGED (again). During our most recent trip to Cinderella’s Royal Table, we noticed that Cinderella was not popping up during mealtimes at all. Instead, Cinderella is now available to take distanced photos within the lobby of the restaurant. This is sort-of a return to how things were before, where guests could meet with Cinderella in the lobby prior to starting their meal. Hello There! Photos are still distanced, so you can’t get up close to Cindy and give her a hug. She’s also on a raised platform, also adding to that distance. But, to be honest, our experience here felt very rushed. Cindy! It could have been a product of this being a more recent change, but we were only given a very quick moment to snap a photo with Cindy before we were whisked away to the dining room. Do we HAVE to leave?! We spoke with Cast Members to see if we could get another chance to meet Cinderella after our meal, but they told us that the only chance to take photos with her is BEFORE the meal, right when you walk into the lobby. Meeting area During our meal, Cinderella did not make her post-COVID-opening rounds at all. So basically if you’re looking for princesses at this former princess character meal, you’ll only find Cinderella here now and you’ll only get the chance to see her before your meal begins. Now, it’s possible that things here will change again! Perhaps this return to having Cindy out in the lobby (just as she was before the pandemic closures) means that we’ll get more princesses walking through meals in the future (again, as a return to pre-pandemic practices). But at the moment, that is not taking place. Menu Now, let’s get onto the food! When you arrive at Cinderella’s Royal Table, there are some paper menus available, as well as a QR code which you can scan to see the menu online. For this meal, we visited at lunch. Lunch, like dinner, is priced at $62 per adult and $37 for kids (3-9). The adult meal includes your choice of one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. We made a special trip out to this spot recently because a new menu item has arrived — specifically the When Will My Life Begin Chicken and Pasta. (Hello Rapunzel fans! This is for you!) ©Disney The kids’ meal includes their choice of one appetizer, an entree, two side selections, and a dessert. ©Disney Fountain drinks, hot tea, and other select drinks are included in the lunch price. Alcoholic drinks, including champagne and sparkling wine, drink flights, wine, and beer are available at an additional cost. ©Disney Here’s another look at the paper menu we got for wines… Drink Menu …and specialty cocktails. Drink Menu We were also able to get a look at the allergy-friendly menu for adults… Menu …and kids. If you have specific allergies, be sure to speak with the Cast Members there for assistance. Menu $62 is a fairly hefty price to spend on lunch though. Is the new dish worth it? Let’s see! Eats and Drinks For our appetizer this time we went with the Royal Cheese Course. This dish comes with a Selection of Plant-based Cheeses, a Toasted Baguette, and Accompaniments. Yes, you read that right — these are plant-based cheeses and the whole dish is plant-based, making it a great choice for those seeking a plant-based appetizer. Royal Cheese Course The cheeses were all vegan cheeses made with cashew. The ones we got were a garlic and herb and cheese and a sun-dried tomato cheese. In terms of accompaniments, we got an orange marmalade and a mustard seed spread. You might be thinking to yourself “are these vegan cheeses actually good?” Or you may have even had vegan cheese in the past and been less than impressed. But these vegan cheeses might actually surprise you because they certainly surprised us! Can You Tell These Are Plant-Based? Our reporter who tried them said that the vegan cheeses were actually amazing and that they never would have guessed that the cheeses were vegan! The garlic and herb was our favorite as it really delivered in terms of garlic flavor. YUM! It was also a little tangier than a regular cheese — maybe along the lines of a Swiss cheese, so keep that in mind. The sun-dried tomato cheese was really good and had a delicious saltiness from the tomato. YUM The orange marmalade had chunks of orange pieces in it, which was super refreshing. The combination of the cheeses with the fruit spread was *chef’s kiss!* Mix It All Up! The mustard seed, on the other hand, was not a “win” for our reporter who tried it — but they shared that they’re not a mustard fan, so you’ll have to take that with a grain of salt. To them, it was very pungent and sour and had a kick of pepper to it. If you love mustard though, then you might want to give this a try to see what you think! What Do You Think? The little bread pieces were really tasty and had the flavor of like a wheat hard bread chip. What Would You Try? On the side, we also got cinnamon cashews which were really fresh and had a nice cinnamon flavor to them! Oooo Our one complaint? We really wish there were more bread pieces. We finished our bread with lots of cheese and toppings to spare! But aside from our bread dilemma, we do think this is surprisingly a dish a decent amount of people would like. Our reporter couldn’t even tell it wasn’t “real” cheese. So maybe you order it secretly for a friend and see if they can notice that it’s vegan cheese as a fun challenge? YUM! Next, we have our entree, the When Will My Life Begin Chicken and Pasta. This dish is BRAND NEW to Cinderella’s Royal Table and is meant to be a special 50th Anniversary dish, so of course we had to give it a try! Pasta and Chicken This chicken and pasta option is made with Tangled Pasta, Braised Chicken, Forest and Moss Flowers, and Pine Nut Pesto served in a Frying Pan! In a frying pan?! How appropriate! We think this is a serving style Rapunzel herself would totally approve of! The noodles in this dish were cooked al dente and, quite frankly, to perfection. They had just the right amount of chewiness to them. The pine nut pesto had a very strong garlic flavor! Our reporter said that they love garlic, but even to them it felt like they were being hit in the face with that garlic flavor. The garlic-forward nature of this dish might be a bit too much for some people, so keep that in mind before ordering it. Another Look at the Dish There was an olive oil base, so the dish was also quite oily. Free lip moisturizer with our meal? Don’t mind if we do. The pine nuts were fresh and had a nice nuttiness to them. We actually wish there would have been more in the dish because they added a really great texture difference. Now, let’s get to the chicken. The chicken itself was nice and fresh, but very. very. VERY bland on its own. It definitely needed the garlic and pesto to make things flavorful! The texture was also quite moist, but slightly chewy, which we found to be just a bit odd when it comes to the chicken. Time to Take a Bite The leaves and flowers just tasted like edible garnish flavors — nothing special, but definitely gives the dish points in the presentation department. Our one complaint — again we felt like there weren’t enough carbs! Why do you want to take away our beautiful carbs, Disney?! We wish there was a bit less chicken in this dish and more of the pasta. We finished up our pasta rather quickly, but then found that we were left with quite a few pieces of chicken. Had there been more pasta to eat that leftover chicken with, we think it would have made the dish better. Best Day Ever? The frying pan the dish was served in appeared to be made of plastic, which means you won’t have to worry about it being overly heavy or anything. The design was adorable and totally Instagram-worthy! If you love garlic, chicken, and pasta, this would be a great choice for you! If you don’t LOVE garlic oil though, you’ll want to stay away. Overall, we wish there was more pasta and more pine nuts, but other than that we really enjoyed this dish and it’s something we’d get again in the future! Overall, Quite Good! Finally, it’s time to end things with dessert! Normally only one dessert would be included with your meal, but there was a bit of a confusion with the dessert we ordered, so we actually got the chance to sample two. First up, we have the Jaq & Gus. This is a Cheesecake with seasonal flavors and garnishes, meaning the flavors and garnishes can change over time. When we had this dish back in September of 2020, the flavor was pumpkin and it had gingerbread, caramel, and pumpkin seeds. This time, the flavors were a bit more plain and fruity. We got a vanilla cheesecake with shortbread crumble, whipped cream, a chocolate garnish, an edible flower, two blueberries, a raspberry flavored hard cream, and raspberry flavored fluffy jam. Cheesecake Time The vanilla cheesecake itself was suuuuuuper creamy (gotta love it!) and not too overpowering when it comes to that signature sourness that can be a part of cheesecakes. The shortbread crumble was nice and light. And the raspberry flavored fluffy jam added a beautiful layer of brightness and freshness to the dish — it was probably our favorite part! The chocolate and dark chocolate pieces of the dish were also really nice, light, and fluffy. So Pretty We will say this dessert was lacking a bit in the berry department though! TWO blueberries?! That’s IT?! We wish there were more blueberries or berries in general so we could pair that fruitiness with our cheesecake. The fluffy jam did help, and we felt like it was needed to add that level of brightness to the cheesecake and keep it from being too plain. A Peek Inside Overall, it’s a pretty simple dessert and we think it could be a crowd-pleaser, even for people who don’t really love cheesecake. Open Up! Finally, we also got to try The Clock Strikes Twelve. This is a dark chocolate mousse with a caramel and crunchy Praline center, served with chocolate sauce and hazelnut gelato. Though this dessert has been here for a while, it looks like things have changed. Previously, it wasn’t described as having that praline center, and it was served with raspberry coulis instead of the hazelnut gelato. Clock Strikes Twelve We’ve liked this one before — finding the mousse to be light and airy, while the ganache was creamy and decadent. So, how did it taste now that it has changed? Well, this was actually our favorite dessert out of the two we tried recently! The dark chocolate was (once again) super rich and yummy. But we think the level of richness really makes it one you’ll want to share! So Pretty The crunchy praline on the inside truly makes the whole dish and takes it to another level. It provides a much-needed crunch to an otherwise relatively soft dessert. Sometimes that texture difference is undervalued, but it didn’t go unnoticed by us! The clock on top is made of white chocolate and is stuck on with a vanilla buttercream icing, adding more layers of flavor. So Yummy And we’ve GOT to talk about that hazelnut gelato!! I mean COME ON! It was absolutely delicious and the fresh hazelnuts on top were an awesome touch — slightly salty and yummy, they added an awesome layer of flavor to the dish as a whole. The only thing we’d maybe change about this dessert is the layer of richness it has. It was STRONG in the chocolate department, making it one you might have to share with the table. But it is absolutely delicious and we think one a ton of people would like. Though, be warned, if you don’t like dark chocolate, this is one you’ll want to avoid! Our Gelato And that brings us to the end of our meal! So, is Cinderella’s Royal Table worth it with all the changes that have been made recently? Nosh or Not Take some time out of your busy Magic Kingdom day to eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table if: You want to feel like royalty and get some EPIC views. Truly, the big draw of Cinderella’s Royal Table has been and continues to be the atmosphere. Who doesn’t want to eat IN the castle and get some awesome views of the park around them?! The atmosphere inside has that very royal flair to it, and you’re sure to feel like a royal yourself while dining here. You want to eat a larger meal. This isn’t a buffet or family-style meal, so it won’t give you THAT much food, but if you are in Magic Kingdom and looking for a larger meal, this could satisfy that itch. At the $62 price you do get an appetizer, entree, and dessert, which can be quite filling. You want to say “hi” to Cindy and get that sort-of character dining aspect before your meal. The character dining here is nowhere near where it used to be, and it has changed AGAIN since the post-pandemic reopening. But if dining in a spot that is fit for royalty AND getting the chance to see a royal right before your meal sounds like a dream come true for you or little ones in your party, then this could be the spot to visit. Just make sure to keep in mind that you will only get that brief meeting with Cinderella before your meal — she won’t pop up during your meal anymore and you can’t see her after your meal (according to the Cast Member we spoke with). Would You Eat Here? Let that clock strike midnight and eat elsewhere if: You’re on a budget. Cinderella’s Royal Table AIN’T CHEAP folks. $62 for a meal isn’t anything to laugh at. Yes, the food we had today was great (though we haven’t always enjoyed the food here in the past) and the atmosphere is second to none, but if you’re sticking to a tight budget in the parks, this is not the place to go. You want a LOT of characters or at least a more “complete” character meal experience. Again, this place is not the character meal it once was. The only character you can see here now is Cindy before your meal. If you want to really see a whole bunch of characters while you eat or you want a bit more time to take some distanced selfies with them (and maybe even see them do a dance or two) you’ll want to head to the other character meal spots that are currently available — like Topolino’s Terrace, Chef Mickey’s, Garden Grill, Hollywood & Vine, and more. You want some really unique food. Don’t get us wrong, we actually really enjoyed everything we ate during this last meal. From the vegan cheese that totally surprised us, to the new pasta that was super yummy, to those tasty desserts — we actually had some great food and we’d get some of these items again. But, Cinderella’s Royal Table doesn’t exactly deliver on “unique” food. It’s more standard, safe dishes that are pretty solid but nothing that’ll make you say “HOLY COW! I’ve never had anything like that ever before and it’s incredible!” So if you’re looking for more adventurous items, head instead to a place like Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom (or check out some of the restaurants at Animal Kingdom Lodge and other spots in Disney World). Overall Overall, we had a really nice experience during our most recent meal here. Our server was wonderful, gave us helpful suggestions, and was fun to talk to. All our meal came in a timely manner (no waiting FOREVER) and our server timed things out well, waiting until we were done with one course before bringing out another. In the past we’ve said this spot feels like it serves “wedding banquet food.” Our most recent experience makes it feel like they’ve actually stepped things up a notch! The vegan cheese was a surprising delight and a bit more unique in a way. The Tangled-themed pasta was SUPER fun in terms of appearance — we love that they’re just embracing that princess feel. And it was actually quite good! The desserts were also good, and the changes that have been made on The Clock Strikes Twelve have made it much better in our opinion. Cinderella, We Approve Is the food anything that’ll BLOW you away? Maybe not. But will it satisfy you and taste good? Yes! Pair that with the chance to see Cinderella in her own castle, those spectacular views of the park, and the iconic atmosphere and you’ve got yourself a pretty good meal! It continues to be one of those places that we think you’ve GOT to do at least once in your life, particularly with little royals who might feel like they’re at the top of the world after dining here. It is a little bit cramped (so be careful if you tend to feel a bit claustrophobic and ask for a window table with more room). And things can get loud here with the little royals who are present, so keep that in mind. Toys for the Kiddos The price is expensive, and it can really add up if you bring the whole family here, but we thought our food here during our most recent experience was really good and we love the atmosphere. So maybe change is a good thing? (Except for when it comes to that verrrrry limited character greeting maybe). What do you think?

Want to experience the flavors of Los Angeles all while hanging at Disney California Adventure? It’s possible thanks to the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival! We’ve been making our way through the festival and so far, we’ve tried some AMAZING snacks. California Adventure Food & Wine Festival This time, we’re headed to the LA Style festival food booth to try some new foods! Who knows, if we’re feeling adventurous, we might even try a drink, too! The menu at the LA Style booth looks a little different than it did in 2020. Not only are there two new dishes…but there are also two new drinks to try! 2022 Booth We spy some enticing menu items this year. Who’s ready to EAT?! Menu Would it be crazy if we ordered EVERYTHING on the menu…because that’s exactly what we plan to do! 2022 Menu This year the menu features Glazed BBQ Pork Belly, a Gyro-inspired Flatbread featuring Impossible Ground Beef, a Mezcaleros Ancho Sandia Margarita, and a Sake-Melon ’75. Let’s dig in! Eats We’ll start with the Glazed BBQ Pork Belly. It’s served with furikake-togarashi mac salad and is available for $8.50. This dish is one of our favorites from the festival! The pork was sweet, tender, and perfectly cooked, with a really great flavor. We really enjoyed the macaroni salad too, which was a solid side dish. Glazed BBQ Pork Belly with furikake-togarashi mac salad Nothing says LA like a Gyro-inspired Flatbread featuring Impossible Ground Beef with chipotle hummus, tzatziki, and spiced crispy chickpeas for $6.75. If you don’t like chipotle hummus, this dish is probably a no for you. We did like the flatbread, though, and if chipotle hummus is your jam, you’d probably enjoy it! Gyro-inspired Flatbread featuring Impossible Ground Beef with chipotle hummus, tzatziki and spiced crispy chickpeas Let’s check out the drinks! Drinks Next up, we’re trying a new marg! The Mezcaleros Ancho Sandia Margarita is made with mezcal, ancho chile liqueur, watermelon, mango, lime, and agave nectar. You can try this fruity margarita for $14, but if you don’t like the smokiness of mezcal, skip this one! Mazcaleros Ancho Sandia Margarita Finally, we needed a little jolt of excitement, so we ordered the Sake-Melon ’75, made with sake, ginger liqueur, prosecco, rockmelon syrup, and lemongrass-citron purée for $14. This drink was really refreshing! The ginger wasn’t super powerful, and you can really taste the prosecco. Sake Melon ’75 Definitely order your drinks depending on what flavors you prefer! Overall The Glazed BBQ Pork Belly is one of the BEST dishes we’ve tried, and as long as you like chipotle hummus, you’d probably also like the Gyro-inspired Flatbread! And with the drinks, keep in mind the smokiness of mezcal with the Mezcaleros Ancho Sandia Margarita, but you can always get the Sake-Melon ’75 for a refreshing vibe! LA Style spread! This is a fun little booth to visit if you’re looking for some filling (and delicious) snacks! Stay tuned to DFB; we’ll be checking out all the booths at this year’s Food & Wine Festival.
