It’s 2022 now, and a lot of things have returned to pre-pandemic normal in Disney World. Crowds in Magic Kingdom Almost all of the Disney World hotels are open now (and the last one is returning at the end of March), and most dining locations are also open again. We’re still waiting for a few more things to return, like some of the restaurants and shows around the parks. We’re really missing a few fan-favorite productions, but good news: a lot of Disney World entertainment is coming back soon! Here’s a look at ALL of the entertainment that’s coming back to Disney World this year. None of the entertainment listed here has a single set date, Disney has confirmed that all of it will be returning sometime in 2022. Fantasmic is still closed right now Some of the entertainment is coming back just like it was before the pandemic, and other shows will have a few changes. Let’s dive in! Magic Kingdom Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade A brand NEW cavalcade (a mini-parade) is coming to Magic Kingdom: the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade. ©Disney It’s going to open sometime in early 2022, and when it debuts the cavalcade will begin over in Frontierland, move through Liberty Square, and then go down Main Street, U.S.A.. ©Disney We already have some details about which friends you’ll be able to see, including Nick and Judy from Zootopia, Baloo and King Louie from The Jungle Book, José Carioca and Panchito from The Three Caballeros, Miguel from Coco, Merida from Brave, Moana, the Incredibles, and more! Read MORE about the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade here! Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade In more BIG Magic Kingdom news, a full parade is returning soon! The Festival of Fantasy parade is scheduled to return sometime in early 2022. Festival of Fantasy Parade This parade is full of Disney characters like Rapunzel and the Snuggly Duckling crew from Tangled, Merida from Brave, friends from Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid, and more! Festival of Fantasy is returning soon! And of course, the grand finale is a steampunk-style Maleficent dragon that actually breathes fire. Festival of Fantasy Parade We’re very excited to see this parade again, and we’re already preparing to have the music stuck in our heads all day. Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire We’ve been missing the stage shows that take place in front of the Cinderella Castle. There’s just nothing like seeing your favorite Disney friends in that iconic setting! Although there have been a couple of stage shows recently, we haven’t seen a consistent show in this spot during normal park hours in a while. Cinderella Castle But in 2022, there will be a new and updated stage show coming to the Cinderella Castle Stage! Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire Before the shutdown in 2020, this show was called Mickey’s Royal Friendship Faire, and we’re expecting a similar style to that one with a few changes. Coming soon! From the concept art we’ve seen so far, it looks like classic characters and some Disney princesses will be there to welcome guests to Magic Kingdom. Check Out Some Character Meet-and-Greets That Have RETURNED to Disney World Disney’s Hollywood Studios Fantasmic! One of the most highly anticipated returns is Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This is a big show that includes a lot of Disney characters and an exciting storyline featuring none other than Sorcerer Mickey. Fantasmic! Disney announced that Fantasmic! will return in 2022, and it’ll have a few changes when it does. All we know so far about the changes is that an entire scene is going to be replaced with new characters, stunt performers, new animation, and more! Fantasmic! is coming back in 2022! We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction going on over at the Fantasmic! amphitheater and we’ve also noticed that the show got a makeover in the My Disney Experience app. Fantasmic Screenshot A lot of guests are excited to welcome back this beloved show, and we’re definitely looking forward to checking out the changes, too. Click Here to Check Out the Construction Going On at the Fantasmic! Amphitheater Disney’s Animal Kingdom Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! Finding Nemo: The Musical is a show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that uses amazing puppets to tell the story of Finding Nemo. This spot has been closed for a while now, but it’s going to return in 2022. Finding Nemo: The Musical When it does return, the show won’t be exactly like you remember it. Disney announced that this production will be reimagined with a new storyline based on Finding Dory — the sequel to Finding Nemo — and the setting will be the Marine Life Institute from that movie. The new show is called Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! ©Disney But if you love the original show, don’t worry! Some of the fan-favorite songs (like “In the Big Blue World” and “Go With the Flow”) will be making the transition and appearing in the new show. Finding Nemo We’re just keeping our fingers crossed that there will be an adorable baby Dory puppet.

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. Aside from comfortable shoes, Minnie Ears, and a Dole Whip (duh!), face masks have become a staple accessory at Disney World over the past two years. Rose Gold Disney World Face Mask The mask policy in Disney World has changed quite a few times, but there’s one thing that has remained the same — you’re going to need to pack one (or ten) when you head out for your trip. So, to help you navigate masking up in the parks, we’re bringing you a complete list of our BEST face mask-wearing tips! WHEN to Wear Your Mask in Disney World Before we dive into all the details, let’s first cover where exactly you’re required to wear a face mask in Disney World right now. Cast Member reminding guests of the new rules Disney World’s current mask policy states that all guests, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear masks in any indoor location. This includes indoor restaurants, attractions, and enclosed transportation vehicles like buses, monorails, and the Disney Skyliner. The only exception is while guests are actively eating or drinking. ©Disney In all outdoor areas, however, face masks are optional for guests. This includes walkways, outdoor attractions, outdoor queue areas, and outdoor theaters. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train These new rules are pretty different from the original mask policy that Disney World began its phased reopening with in 2020, but we haven’t seen much change since the indoor requirement was put back in place in August 2021. Of course, Disney keeps a close eye on proper face mask guidelines and has been implementing best practices based on current CDC recommendations, so we could see things change in the coming months (and years) as the COVID-19 global pandemic continues to evolve. Face mask signage When in doubt, ask a Cast Member! Don’t be shy — the Disney World Cast Members are generally super friendly and helpful. They want to help you have the best and safest vacation, and they understand that the face mask policy can be a little confusing sometimes. Click HERE to See ALL the Current News and Information About Travel to Disney World and Disneyland in 2022 Tips Alright, so now you know WHEN and WHERE you need to wear a face mask, but how do you make the game of putting your mask on and off in between rides, shops, and restaurants a bit easier? We’re in the Disney World parks every day, so we’ve got tons of experience with Disney mask-wearing — here are our top tips! Use a Mask Chain/Lanyard You might have noticed that the new policy involves lots of mask putting on and taking off. If you’re anything like us, it can be easy to have your mask accidentally land on the floor rather than in your pocket when you’re storing it away for safekeeping as walk outside. So, to help ensure that you don’t lose your mask in the process, we recommend using a mask chain or lanyard. ©Amazon These handy accessories clip onto the ear loops of your mask and then go around your neck so that you can just leave it hanging around your neck rather than stuffing it away in a pocket or bag. Then it’s ready for you again when you need to put it back on! These have been life-savers for us because it’s so easy to set down your mask and forget about it. Plus, they’re especially useful for kiddos! We like this colorful set of seven for $9.98 from Amazon. Check Out Some of Our Favorite Mask Chains on Amazon HERE! Clip Your Masks On Sometimes, even a mask lanyard isn’t enough to keep the mask on during fast rides and roller coasters. For those rides, we clip the ear straps into our hair using normal hair clips or bobby pins so that our mask doesn’t slip off. Be sure that mask stays on! Some rides in Disney World will delete your ride picture if guests are not wearing their face mask in it, so for your sake and for everyone around you on the ride, make sure that mask stays on! Read About 10 Face Mask Accessories You’ll Need in Disney World Bring Extra Masks When we’re planning to spend a full day in Disney World, we ALWAYS pack extra masks. We’ll bring at least two or three masks into the parks so that we can switch them out if some of them are too hot, uncomfortable, or if they get sweaty or wet. Disney Face Masks Disney has masks on sale at many gift shops, but it’s better to be prepared with your own so that you have an extra mask on-hand for any situation. Plus, this will save you some big bucks, as Disney’s face masks can cost anywhere from $9.99 to $14.99+. Mickey mask You also should be prepared in case one of your masks doesn’t fit the requirements for face coverings in Disney World. Disney has clarified what is considered a face mask a few times, and as it stands now, acceptable masks must be made with at least 2 layers of material, fully cover the nose, mouth, secure under the chin, fit snugly against the side of your face, and be secured with ties or ear loops. ©Disney Some masks — like neck gaiters and bandanas — do not meet these requirements. If you’re wearing one of these, a cast member may ask you to change your mask. ©Disney Masks with transparent plastic panels are allowed in the parks however, so long as they have no openings and meet all the other face mask requirements. ©Disney Be sure to double-check your masks with these requirements before you get to Disney World so that you’re all set to enjoy the parks once you get there. Curious About What Else We Bring to the Parks? Take a Look Inside a DFB Reporter’s Bag HERE! Bring a Ziploc Bag for Dirty Masks We mentioned bringing multiple masks, but what happens when you’ve switched out your dirty mask for a fresh one? We like to bring Ziploc bags to hold onto those dirty masks! Ziploc Bags This way, you can keep the dirty masks away from your clean ones, and you’ll remember which ones you need to wash once you get home. Get some Ziploc Bags at Amazon Here Break-In Your Mask Ahead of Time Masks are like shoes in Disney World — you need to break them in ahead of time. Don’t save that brand-new mask that you’ve never tried for your vacation. You seriously do NOT want to find out it’s too uncomfortable or hot when you’re halfway into your park day and it’s too late to change it! Jungle Cruise You’ll want to check to make sure that your mask of choice isn’t pulling at your ears after a few hours of wearing it, ensure that it’s not fogging up your glasses (or sunglasses) when you talk, and generally know if it will be good in the heat. Disney World is only requiring that face masks be worn indoors, but you might find yourself in an outdoor crowded area and want to put your mask back on, so checking to be sure that you’ll be able to wear the mask comfortably in the Florida sunshine and humidity can be useful. See How To Choose The BEST Masks for Summer in Disney World HERE! Pack Chapstick From all the mask-wearing around Disney World, you’ll learn pretty quickly that good chapstick is worth its weight in gold. ©Amazon We love Burt’s Bees Lip Balm for wearing under our masks because it’s not goopy or sticky. Plus, it also has a nice, strong smell, which is great for when we enjoy an afternoon coffee break or when our mask starts to get a little bit of that used-mask smell (y’all know what we’re talking about). Buy Some Burt’s Bees Lip Balm on Amazon Here! Bring Mints Speaking of that used-mask smell, we’ve made it a priority to always have mints on hand ever since we started masking up in the parks. After all, we really don’t want to be smelling our own breath right after we’ve polished off a delicious lunch of battered and fried fish or mini corn dogs. So, a couple of mints after we eat are essential. ©Amazon We like these basic ICE Breakers Mints for $2.39 from Amazon but there are plenty to choose from at your local grocery store. Grab Some ICE Breakers Mints Here Bribe Your Less-Willing Companions We get it, the thought of needing to wear a mask in Disney World can be daunting, especially for your little ones. So, instead of having to bicker back and forth on whether the mask really is over your kiddos nose or not, we suggest introducing some good old-fashioned bribery into the mix. Tie-dye Mickey Face Mask One of our favorite ways to remind the kids when and where a mask needs to be on is to bring in a Mickey Mouse plush with his own mask. When we go inside, we put Mickey’s mask on too. Once we’re back outside, we can take it off! Hi, Mickey! So, whether it’s a Dole Whip treat or an extra souvenir, sometimes a little incentive works wonders for rule enforcement.

We’ve been updating our tips and then updating them again ever since the parks first reopened, so you can check out some more of our best practices in the DFB video below! And, if you’re not sure what masks are best to wear in the parks, we’ve got a ton of awesome Disney-themed masks for sale in the DFB online store (not to toot our own horn or anything)! From Dapper Dans to Disney Princesses, Plastic Cheese to Classic Disney Rides, we’ve got a face mask for almost every kind of Disney fan. Get Your Own Disney Food Blog Face Masks! With plenty of fun designs to choose from, you’ll be ready for that Disney vacation in style! PLUS, $1 from each mask sold donated to No Kid Hungry! We also really like the masks from Old Navy — they’re breathable and comfortable, even when you’re wearing them all day. Plus, the masks that you can buy in Disney World (or online at shopDisney) are great for breathability, but they tend to stick to our faces when we’re sweaty (which, let’s face it, is a lot of the time in Florida).

Valentine’s Day is coming up, folks, which means new sweet treats and merch in Disney World! Awe, Mickey! We’ve already seen a new Valentine’s Day Dooney & Bourke collection, some festive T-shirts, and a seasonal Fairytale Love Latte over at Joffrey’s at Animal Kingdom. And today, we tried a new treat that might just be the perfect sweet for the holiday! This is the Love Potion from Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs! It’s here for the season! It’s Strawberry Fanta with vanilla gelato for $12. And, ours came with a rainbow lollipop in it! Okay, this is pretty cute Listen, this drink is just Strawberry Fanta and vanilla gelato…so that’s exactly what it tastes like. The most prominent flavor is the artificial strawberry from the soda! It’s definitely eye-catching! It’s very sweet, which we guess is appropriate for Valentine’s Day! Watch out for that red dye, it might stain your tongue! But honestly, the gelato here at Vivoli is so great that we would recommend just getting it on its own instead of covering it up with sugary soda! Be Mine? If you’re looking for a cute treat to feel festive for the holiday or to post on your Instagram, the Love Potion definitely checks those boxes — and you get a lollipop! But, overall, we think the gelato on its own is the best part, so we would suggest just getting that by itself for dessert. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney food news and reviews!

You don’t have a limit your Disney vacation to just a theme park! ©Adventures by Disney Adventures by Disney offers vacations all around the world with professional Disney guides. Some of this year’s trips are heading to New England, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia; England and France; New Zealand; Australia; South Africa; and Ireland. These trips are sure to be just a bit more immersive than the World Showcase at EPCOT. Disney just announced three different river cruises for 2023! In 2023, Adventures by Disney will be bringing back their river cruises through Rhine, Danube, and Seine! All three of these destinations will also have departures this year, but if you’re planning ahead to 2023, check out these cruises! ©Adventures by Disney The Rhine river cruise will take guests through villages in Germany, Switzerland, France, and The Netherlands! These cruises are eight days and seven nights and include everything from castle sightings to a toboggan race. There will also be adult-only Food and Wine cruises and Christmas market cruises through this region! ©Disney The Danube river cruise visits eight different destinations in Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary! If you’ve ever wanted to recreate scenes from The Sound of Music, then this is the trip for you! From medieval ruins to rolling hills, this trip is sure to be scenic. The Danube cruise also offers seasonal Oktoberfest and Christmas market cruises. ©Disney The last 2023 river cruise takes guests to the river Seine in France! This cruise will take you from small, rural, provincial towns, all the way to the City of Lights, Paris! Guests will also have the option to extend their stay in Paris for 3 days and 2 nights, which would include a private walking culinary tour and a visit to the Louvre. ©Disney Bookings for these cruises open up to the public on January 28th, 2022, and there are a couple different ways to save if you book now. Adventure by Disney’s early booking offer can save you $500 per person for 2023 cruises, or, if you can’t wait another year to go on one of these excursions, the 2022 River Cruise offer is available now, and can save you up to $500 on Rhine and Danube cruises departing this summer. ©Disney These Adventures by Disney River cruises are certainly different from the Jungle Cruise we’re used to, but they look incredible nonetheless!

Disneyland has some amazinggggg snacks that we just can’t get enough of! REAL Corn Dogs! Dole whips, corn dogs, bao buns, giant pickles, chimichangas, Monte Cristos…we could go on and on! But, it’s not all just food, there are some great drinks as well. And today, we checked out a NEW drink that we think coffee lovers will want to get their hands on! This is the new Horchata Cold Brew from Rancho del Zocalo in Disneyland Park! It’s iced horchata and cold brew topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. Yes, please! We have to say, this looks so pretty! It’s giving us all the fancy coffee vibes. YUM However, when we tasted it, it just tasted like normal cold brew. But then, we mixed it together, and it was way better! A very photogenic coffee It tastes like a sweet cinnamon iced coffee in the best way! It’s on ice, but we’re getting that warm cinnamon flavor! If you’re a fan of horchata or coffee, we would definitely recommend you try this drink out. If you’re not a coffee fan, this probably isn’t for you. But, we love coffee and honestly had no complaints about this drink! A great way to start the day or restore your energy in the afternoon To try it out for yourself, head on over to Rancho del Zocalo in Frontierland. You can get a regular for $5.99 or a large for $6.99. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney food reviews and news! Click here to see ALL of the food coming to Disneyland for Lunar New Year!

Oh, Disneyland, when it comes to snacks, we think you just know how to do them right. Hungry Bear Restaurant From the best churros, corndogs (and yes, even the pickle corn dog), and lobster nachos, we dream about Disneyland snacks FOR DAYS after we’ve visited the resort. Now Disneyland has given us another reason to ask, “Why are Disneyland snacks just so good?” We don’t have an answer, but we do have another Disneyland snack that we just tried that is DELICIOUS. It’s the Red Velvet Funnel Cake, which is topped with Cream Cheese Icing, Strawberry Ice Cream, Whipped Cream, and Sprinkles. It’s VERY pretty! It’s very photogenic So how is it? Well, we’ve tried the Red Velvet Funnel Cake at Disney World, but this is an elevated form of that, thanks to the addition of Strawberry Ice Cream. The flavor of the strawberry ice cream really works well with the cream cheese icing and red velvet funnel cake. DELISH We will say, though, that this is definitely a snack for someone with a serious sweet tooth (it’s us…). The portion size is also HUGE, so it’s also easily shareable. We also thought the funnel cake could’ve been warmer, but that’s the only real complaint we have. Let’s dig in! If you want to try it out for yourself, you’ll find it at Hungry Bear Restaurant for $8.99. And we’ll let you know about other delicious Disneyland treats we discover, so stay tuned!

D23, Disney’s official fan club, is throwing its most exciting event this year! ©D23 D23 Expo is a HUGE Disney fan event that features exclusive panels and events, special merchandise, and HUGE announcements regarding new Disney projects like TV shows, movies, theme park attractions, and more. Tickets JUST went on sale today and boy, did some of them go quick! The D23 Expo lasts three days with tickets available for adults ($89-$99 for single-day tickets and $229-$279 for 3-day tickets) and kids ($79 for single-day tickets and $209 for 3-day tickets). But there was also a special preferred seating option for D23 Gold Members priced at $899 for a 3-day ticket. ©D23 The reason we say “was” is because these almost $900 tickets sold out just 7 MINUTES after ticket sales kicked off at 12PM PT today. ©D23 Yep, at the time of writing, Gold Member-exclusive Preferred Seating Tickets for D23 Expo are SOLD OUT. And this was AFTER a virtual queue of thousands. ©D23 Just thirty minutes after tickets went on sale, more ticket categories began to sell out. We spotted non-Gold Member three-day tickets become unavailable as well as Saturday tickets for Gold Members. Warning, though! With a refresh, some of these ticket options came back. ©D23 Regardless, it appears that tickets to this year’s D23 Expo will NOT last long, so hurry to buy tickets if you’re hoping to attend!

Disney World has a lot of secrets! See the hidden Mickey?! There are hidden Mickeys ALL over the resort, secret menu items, and even secret ride hacks. Yesterday, we told you about a secret popcorn you can get right now in Disney World, and today, we tried it out for ourselves! Over at Kat Saka’s Kettle in Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can find some unique popcorn! There is the Outpost Popcorn Mix, which is a mix of sweet and savory flavors, and then there’s Buttered Blue Grains, which is just buttered popcorn, but it’s BLUE! The two mixes Yesterday, Disney posted this video on TikTok for National Popcorn Day talking about a new secret popcorn mix at Kat Saka’s. In order to get the mix, you have to ask the Cast Members, “Have you seen a mouse?” So, we went right on over and asked the question! It turns out, the secret mix is just a blend of both grains of popcorn! The Blue Buttered Grains are mixed in with the Outpost Popcorn Mix so you can have the best of both worlds, or both the light side and the dark side, depending on how you feel about the Outpost Mix (which people definitely have strong opinions about!). New mix! Not only do you get both flavors, but they come inside a droid popcorn bucket!! We love it This is the MSE-6 “Mouse” Droid, which is a popcorn bucket you can only get at Kat Saka’s. This is the droid you’re looking for (if you want popcorn!) Now we get why we had to ask about a mouse in order to get this secret snack! Such a fun souvenir! If you want to try out this special mix for yourself and get a new popcorn bucket, head on over to Galaxy’s Edge! You can pick it up for $19.99. Try it out for yourself!

Would you eat a brownie…that’s dressed as a cupcake?? We’ve had some epic treats at Jolly Holiday! Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe in Disneyland is home to some delicious pastries, coffees, teas, salads, sandwiches, and more, and we’ve had some epic treats there. Today we got to try a returning snack, and chocolate lovers HAVE to check it out. Even if it’s a little confusing. Today we visited Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe in Disneyland to try the Chocolate Mousse Brownie for $5.49, which actually looks a lot like a cupcake! This chocolate chip brownie is made with dark chocolate ganache and topped with white chocolate mousse, crunchy chocolate pearls, and a Mary Poppins penguin chocolate piece. This treat is returning from 2019 with a few changes, like swapping out vanilla buttercream for white chocolate mousse! Chocolate Mousse Brownie Remember the penguin waiters in Mary Poppins? So cute! This brownie is MEANT for chocolate lovers. In fact, we LOVED how chocolatey this was, and the chocolate chips on the inside added a nice crunch. And even more chocolate. Yum. It’s really cute! Our only issue is that it was served chilled, and as a brownie, it might’ve been better served warm. Still, we really enjoyed it just like we did in 2019 (even with the new changes!), and if you’re a big chocolate fan you’ll probably enjoy this. Just don’t get it if you’re expecting a cupcake! Technically not a cupcake You can find the Chocolate Mousse Cupcake at Jolly Holiday for $5.49. Stay tuned for more food reviews from DFB! Closing dates announced for 3 Downtown Disney locations!

There are a number of neat items you can pick up in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge You could sip on some blue milk, create your own lightsaber, get a creature or two, and even build your own droid. But during a recent visit to Galaxy’s Edge, we saw that one of the simplest and most treasured Galaxy’s Edge items is BACK. SPACE SPORK ALERT Y’ALL. The space sporks have returned to Galaxy’s Edge (for now) and we’re thrilled! Now you can pay for your galactic utensil These babies have a complicated past. At first they were available for guests to use at Docking Bay 7. They then experienced some problems when guests didn’t exactly want to part ways with them after eating. The sporks were taken away and regular utensils were put in their place. But they then became available for guests to purchase. This is similar to the pattern of events that took place in Disneyland when their version of Galaxy’s Edge opened. That’s one fancy shmancy WEIRD spork. We haven’t seen these beauties available for a while so you can imagine our excitement when we found that they were available again today. They are priced at $10.99 and come with their own travel bag. There is a limit of just 1 per guest per transaction, so keep that in mind. They’re BAAACK If you want to grab them, be sure to look for them at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. You can also get them at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo through Mobile Order by selecting the “Cargo” option. ©Disney If you’ve been hoping to grab these sporks, be sure to act fast and get one while they’re available.
