It’s time for the holidays in Disney World! Are you ready to try MORE festive treats? It’s the Christmas season! The 2021 Festival of the Holidays recently debuted in EPCOT, and you can also try lots of new and returning holiday treats around the World Showcase. We found two holiday treats at a favorite spot in France, and we wouldn’t blame you for getting both of them, even if you just wanted some REALLY pretty photos. At L’Artisan des Glaces in EPCOT’s France pavilion, you can find some delicious sweet treats, like ice cream, sorbet, and even a macaron ice cream sandwich. L’Artisan des Glaces The Seasonal Holiday Macaron has returned, and it’s is an interesting mix of almond-flavored macaron with mint ice cream sandwiched in between. The macaron is red and green for the holidays and can we just say — it’s beautiful. Christmas Macaron We thought this festive macaron was delicious! It would be especially enjoyed by mint lovers, but we really loved the almond flavors too. Mint Ice Cream between Almond Macaron This flavor combo might not be for everyone but we really liked it, though we wish the ice cream had been almond chocolate chunk flavor instead of mint. You can get this Seasonal Holiday Macaron for $7. So pretty! And L’Artisan des Glaces also has their seasonal Gingerbread Ice Cream! We got a single scoop in a cone for $5.25, but you can also get a single (or double!) scoop in a cup. Gingerbread Ice Cream This ice cream is gingerbread-flavored and we loved that it even had small gingerbread pieces in the ice cream! In fact, this was our favorite holiday treat at L’Artisan. Gingerbread Ice Cream The gingerbread flavor wasn’t particularly strong, but if you like gingerbread you’ll love this ice cream. The pieces of gingerbread really enhance the flavor too. SO good It’s definitely the season of mint and gingerbread, and it’s safe to say that if you don’t like either of those flavors you could probably skip these! Otherwise, find these seasonal treats at L’Artisan des Glaces in EPCOT for a limited time. Keep reading DFB for more holiday treats in Disney World!

Things with the COVID-19 pandemic have continued to change and develop over the past several months. Orlando International Airport More recently, a new variant was discovered, which has led to travel restrictions and more. Now, the World Health Organization has some specific travel advice in light of this new variant. According to a recent article released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the WHO has designated the new variant, Omicron, as a “variant of concern.” The WHO article then discusses a bit more about the travel restrictions that are being put in place by various countries in response to the discovery of this new variant. COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign The WHO also noted that the “Omicron variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning.” It also shared that the initial evidence “suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant” and it is expected that this new variant will be detected in an increasing number of countries. The WHO shared that “while scientific research is underway to understand” more about this variant, it advises a number of things. There is then a list of advice from the WHO including specific suggestions about what type of travel restrictions should be utilized and more. The WHO specifically noted that blanket travel bans won’t prevent the spread and place a heavy burden on lives. Airport Crowds At the end of its list of advice, the WHO notes that “Persons who are unwell or at risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease and dying, including people 60 years of age or older or those with comorbidities (e.g. heart disease, cancer and diabetes), should be advised to postpone travel.” The WHO also advised that all travels remain vigilant for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, get vaccinated, and adhere to public health measures at all times. Orlando International Airport The U.S. has imposed travel bans on select countries due to the new variant. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more news on this situation and let you know what we find. Click here to learn more about the U.S. travel restrictions.

Disney first made the announcement to current Magic Key Holders, but the item will be available to all guests attending Merriest Nites.

If you’re planning to visit Disney World next year, there are quite a few things you’ll want to keep in mind — like hotel reservations, Park Pass reservations, dining reservations, and more. Cinderella Castle Another thing you’ll want to look at are those park hours. Operating hours can vary by theme park and by day. So, if you’ll only be visiting 1 park per day (a.k.a. you don’t have park hopper tickets) you’ll want to make sure you’re not visiting a park on a day when it might be closing extra early. We already saw one day in early 2022 on which guests might want to skip going to Magic Kingdom, and now we’ve got another important update! In mid-January of 2022, Magic Kingdom will be closing EXTRA early on one particular day. But, now the Disney calendar has been updated to show that the park will also be closing very early on one day in February. On February 8th, 2022, Magic Kingdom will actually close at 4:30PM. ©Disney If you don’t have a Park Hopper ticket and that’s the only park you decide to visit on that day, you will be getting a LOT less time in the park. On the day before (February 7th) and the day after (February 9th), Magic Kingdom will stay open until 8PM. That’s 3.5 hours MORE than on the 8th. So, if you’re planning to visit Disney World during this time in February and you don’t have Park Hopper tickets, you might want to consider avoiding Magic Kingdom on the 8th. Instead, you could spend that day at another park that will be open later and visit Magic Kingdom on one of the surrounding days where it will be open later. Thunder Mountain Of course, all park hours are subject to change. Be sure to keep checking for updates on the Disney calendar as your trip gets closer.

The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is in full swing and we’ve been bringing you along as we explore all the new (and returning) eats and drinks, entertainment, and more! Festival of the Holidays So, whether you want to taste your way around the entirety of World Showcase, or you want to save room for only the best, we’ve got you covered. But, it’s not just the holiday kitchen booths that are home to some sweet treats and drinks, there are also a few select EXTRA locations that are serving up a specialty dish. And, today we’re headed into the France Pavilion to check out what they’re baking up in Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie! For the past few years, this Quick Service spot has been serving up a well-known holiday favorite — the Buche de Noël. And, this year it is BACK again, but Disney has changed it up once again and reverted it to the flavors that you might recognize from allll the way back in 2018! Les Halles This year’s Buche de Noël is a lot less chocolatey than it was last year and instead is a Christmas log with dark chocolate mousse, mint cream, peppermint candies, and a chocolate biscuit. Like we said, it’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen some of these flavors in the treat. Les Halles Menu And, while it has traditionally looked like this… Buche de Noel from 2020 …this year it has received a full-on makeover and now features a red “log” with white frosting and candies. The NEW Buche de Noel! So, besides being WAY more photogenic this year, how does it compare to years past? Well, if you’re looking for the taste of Christmas, then you don’t need to look any further! Look at how pretty she is! The main flavors in this treat are mint and peppermint (no surprises there), and the chocolate is really only a lighter taste that adds some depth to the dessert. And, while we REALLY enjoyed photographing this beauty, we couldn’t help but think that it was rather…bland. But, we’re pretty big fans of being smacked in the face with peppermint flavors, so those who prefer more a more subtle taste will likely enjoy this one! Inside the Buche de Noel You can find it back at the bakery this holiday season for $8.75, so be sure to stop by and pick it up while it’s still there!

50’s Prime Time Cafe is a table-service restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that’ll make you feel like you’re in a quintessential 1950’s home, complete with strict rules about manners at the dinner table and black-and-white televisions playing classic shows! 50’s Prime Time Cafe The restaurant is home to several iconic items including the signature peanut butter and jelly milkshake! But, one of our favorite dishes has been missing in action for a while. We’re happy to announce that recently a longtime fan-favorite dish (seriously, this one is LEGENDARY) returned to this whimsical restaurant! Get those stomachs and taste buds ready folks: the Fried Herb and Garlic Cheese is back! This treat is exactly what it sounds like: it’s a piece of breaded and fried cheese with garlic and herb flavors, which is served with Grapes, Apple Slices, a Crostini, and Raspberry Sauce. The Fried Garlic and Herb Cheese We’ve loved this dish for a very, very long time (a whole decade!). But, it has come and gone over the years. In the past, we’ve enjoyed the fried cheese because of just how rich and flavorful it is. Pair the creaminess of the cheese with the crispy fried exterior and the touch of sweetness from the fruits and you’ve got a winner! There’s a reason we keep coming back for more, it’s delicious! Yum! You can stop by 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now to give it a try!

We’ve noticed crowds picking up in Disney World lately as people head to the parks for the holiday season. Magic Kingdom Crowds Among the hundreds of guests inside the parks, you might even spot some familiar faces! We’ve seen celebrities in Disney World, whether they’re just visiting with friends and family or there to film a commercial or special. Recently, we saw a few celebs over in EPCOT for some filming. And today there are more big names in the parks! If you’re in the Magic Kingdom today, keep an eye out for a couple of celebrities nearby. While we were walking by Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, we noticed a setup for filming nearby. There were lights and cameras, as well as a stage decorated for the holidays. Lots of equipment here! Guess who we saw on that stage…it was Derek and Julianne Hough! The siblings are professional dancers (and much more) who many fans may recognize from Dancing With the Stars. Derek and Julianne Hough Today they’re filming in Disney World, likely for the Disney Christmas Day Parade that’s coming out this season. We’ve already seen the pair host The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration on November 28th, and they’ll be back for Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade, which airs on Christmas Day.

There is a variety of nighttime entertainment you can enjoy throughout Disney World. Fireworks in Magic Kingdom You can see Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom, Harmonious in EPCOT, the Tree of Life Awakenings in Animal Kingdom, the Beacons of Magic in all 4 parks, and more. And today, we noticed something odd about the nighttime shows in Hollywood Studios next month. As of this writing, there are no December times being shown for the nighttime entertainment in Hollywood Studios. This includes Disney Movie Magic, which usually happens every night at 8:40PM… ©Disney …and Wonderful World of Animation, which usually happens every night at 9PM. ©Disney There are showtimes for today (November 30th) but then starting December 1st, there are no showtimes all the way through the end of January, which is as far out as the calendar shows right now. Wonderful World of Animation This could just be a glitch, as Disney has not made any announcements about either of the two shows, so we’ll keep you updated if anything changes or we find out more information.

The holidays are a busy time in Disney World, and for a good reason — there are just so many things to do! Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations Festival of the Holidays is going on in EPCOT, decorations are up around the parks and hotels, Very Merriest After Hours takes place in Magic Kingdom on certain nights, and you can even see Santa around the resort.

Previously, several days in December were completely booked up or partially booked. Now, as of this writing, all parks are available through December 19th, and select parks are available through the rest of the month, as opposed to being completely booked.

Planning for a Disney vacation can involve many different things, like being prepared for the weather, scheduling dining reservations, or mapping out your park days. You will probably need to prepare for rain! But, even if you plan everything down to the minute, there are some things that are simply out of your control. One of those things is if a ride is going to be open or not, as refurbishments do take place on different rides throughout the year. And, if you’re planning to be at Disneyland Resort in January of 2022, there are some new ride closures you should know about! Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion will both be closed for refurbishment starting January 10th in Disneyland Park. Haunted Mansion Disneyland Disney has not said what’s happening to the two attractions during refurbishment, but it could be possible that Splash Mountain might be starting its re-theming to The Princess and the Frog! Splash Mountain Disney has not said when the re-theme would take place in either Disneyland or Disney World, but, in an August 2021 interview on the Theme Park Rangers Podcast, Melissa Valiquette, vice president of Magic Kingdom, gave an update on the project. She said that “terrific work has been done, including some selections around music, around animatronics and music, and it is really an inspiring story.” Princess and the Frog attraction Concept Art ©Disney Melissa went on to say that reimagining a ride like Splash Mountain can be a lengthy process, which could take many months, and even years. So, if the ride is closing down in January for the transformation, we can expect it will take a significant amount of time. ©Disney Princess and the Frog concept art As for Haunted Mansion, the closure is probably just to take down the The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay that’s on the ride right now for the holidays, as the holiday season officially ends in Disneyland on January 9th.

Cinderella Castle Over the years, Disney’s list of banned items and activities has grown and, while some of them you can probably guess (like weapons and illegal substances) others are a bit more surprising. And, that’s what we’re covering today! Selfie Sticks First up are selfie sticks. When these gadgets first became a household name around 2014, you could spot one almost everywhere you looked in Disney World. And, while they were great for capturing a family photo when there wasn’t a PhotoPass photographer around, many Disney-goers also used these to record fireworks shows from up above the crowds, and even record rides. No Selfie Sticks! Many guests were so transfixed by their phone screens hovering in front of their faces as they walked that they’d (whoops!) potentially hurt themselves or others not paying attention to their surroundings. So, by the summer of 2015, Disney officially added the selfie stick to the list of banned items because of the potential hazard that it posed to guests. Click HERE For 8 WEIRD Disney World Rules and Why They Exist Costumes When you think of Disney, you probably think of kids running around in their favorite princess or pirate costume, so it might be surprising to hear that costumes are actually on the list of banned things in the Disney Parks, water parks, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Though, this rule does have a caveat — it only applies to guests ages 14 or older. Wait, Why Are These Like the Cutest Outfits Ever? Now, there are some very specific circumstances where this rule can be broken. Disney makes exceptions to this policy and allows guests of all ages to wear costumes for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney After Hours BOO Bash, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and Villains After Hours events. But, even these costumes still have to follow some rules (like no props that resemble weapons). Are you KIDDING?! INCREDIBLE Disney also made an exception to the rule back in 2020 throughout the Halloween season because Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, guests of all ages could enter the parks in costume (again, with some limitations). Cast Members with a rogue”Belle” And, what’s the reason behind this? As you might imagine, some guests can create some really elaborate (and impressive) costumes that resemble the Disney characters and Disney doesn’t want guests (especially kids) to mistake other guests in costume for actual characters. They want to ensure that when you’re meeting Belle, you’re actually meeting the real Belle in the parks, so this rule helps to ensure character integrity and the safety of guests.

Folding Chairs Have you ever been in the parks waiting in a long line or camping out on Main Street, U.S.A. for a parade and thought, “I really wish I had a chair right about now?” Well, sadly that’s just a pipe dream because folding chairs are actually on the list of banned items in Disney. Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade So, you may desperately want a chair while watching a parade after walking around the parks for days, but Disney does not allow guests to bring these into the parks for safety reasons. Enjoy sitting on that curb! Click HERE To Learn About 6 Things You Shouldn’t Bring on Your Next Disney Trip! Plastic Straws If you’ve been to Disney World recently, you’ve probably noticed that it can be hard to stumble upon plastic straws and even plastic lids nowadays. That’s because Disney committed to reducing single-use plastics around Disney destinations worldwide back in 2019, and ever since we’ve been seeing paper straws introduced at most locations and plastic lids no longer offered for the most part. But, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom you’re not actually allowed to use plastic straws at all and you’ll be asked to throw it out if you’re caught with one. Paper Straws at Yorkshire County Fish Chop Why? Well, the plastic straws and lids pose a threat to the wildlife that can be found all over the park. So, to prevent the plastic from landing in an animal enclosure, all plastic straws are banned (and you won’t find any here). Reusable Straws now available at Chester and Hester’s Now, if you’re not a big fan of the paper straws and the mush that they can turn into after a few minutes sitting in your drink, you can always opt to bring your own reusable straws into the park! You can find a ton of different Disney designs on reusable straws online (like this Baby Yoda one here), and they usually come with a cleaning brush that you can use in your resort or between drinks to keep them clean. Plus, we’ve even seen these on sale in Disney World from time to time. Check Out The WILDEST Thing You’re TOTALLY Allowed to Bring Into Disney World Balloons Speaking of things that you can’t bring into Disney’s Animal Kingdom, one item that you see all over Disney World is actually banned here — balloons! And, this rule even applies to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney Water Parks, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex too. So, yes, you can spot a balloon around almost any corner in Disney World, but NOT in these locations because of this rule. Mickey Balloons! What could possibly put these precious Disney souvenirs on the naughty list? Well, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge the rule exists for the safety of the animals — if a balloon were to make its way into an animal habitat, it would present a serious choking hazard for them. And, at the Water Parks and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, the balloons pose a safety risk to other guests. Disney knows how precious these are! But, rest assured, if you happen to find yourself in one of these places holding a balloon, you won’t have to pop it — Cast Members will hold the balloon at the front of the park or in the baggage area of the hotel.

Banners and Flags Banners and flags (specifically political ones) have been on the list of banned items in Disney World for quite some time now. The rule started way back in the ‘60s to keep protests from happening in Disneyland and has stayed in place ever since. Winnie the Pooh for President! ©Disney And, while you may never think to give up precious luggage space for a banner, some guests have tried to bring them into the parks. In fact, there was one specific instance that got a lot of media attention a few years ago where a guest displayed large political banners in Magic Kingdom at the Main Street Train Station and at Animal Kingdom’s Expedition Everest. ©Disney Disney also bans any speeches, handing out pamphlets, or any other sort of demonstrating on Disney property.

Spreading Ashes Believe it or not, spreading ashes made from human remains (and really ashes of any kind) has had to be added to Disney’s banned list over time because, yes, this is ACTUALLY a problem in Disney World and Disneyland. Over the years, quite a few people have been caught spreading a loved one’s ashes at various places in the parks. And, interestingly (or maybe not so interestingly), the Haunted Mansion is the top spot that most people try to sneak the ashes in to be dumped. Haunted Mansion Now, this is strictly banned in all Disney Parks and you’ll be escorted out if you are found doing this. But, besides that, Disney really isn’t a great place to lay anyone to rest — the attractions are cleaned regularly, so your loved one will likely be swept up by the end of the day. Check Out The CREEPIEST Stories From the Magic Kingdom! Drones Also on the list of banned items are drones, so you won’t be able to get any footage high up in the sky when you’re visiting. Good Morning from Magic Kingdom! Some parts of Disney World are official no-fly zones (including the Magic Kingdom, sections of Epcot, and some of the resort areas). And, even if you’re not in a no-fly zone, Disney security still won’t let you fly a drone for security reasons. Can YOU Guess The Most Common Items LOST in Disney World? Artificial Noisemakers Disney World can already be a pretty loud place even without guests providing their own background music. That’s why Disney has banned horns, whistles, large megaphones, and other artificial noisemakers from the parks. Mickey and Friends Cavalcade in Magic Kingdom These can take away from the parades, shows, and entertainment that Disney has going in the parks. Plus, could you imagine if someone in line behind you gave their kids a noisemaker to keep them busy while waiting for an attraction? Are You Doing One of The 10 Worst Things EVERYONE Does in Disney World? Skateboards and Rollerblades The only thing getting around the parks on wheels NOT part of the park experience is guests requiring mobility devices and kids in strollers at Disney World! Skateboards, scooters, in-line skates, and shoes with built-in wheels are all banned from the parks and resorts. Though there are some exceptions to the rule, as bicycles are permitted within designated Disney Resort areas (and you can even rent them!). Bike Rentals at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Now, this one might sound a bit odd at first, but if you’ve ever been to Disney World during a crowded day, then you probably can already guess why these are banned. Getting around the parks on wheels could pose a huge safety risk to both you and other guests. Check Out 100 Things That Will BLOW YOUR MIND About Disney World HERE!
