Earlier this year, we shared the news that fireworks cruises and dessert parties were returning to Magic Kingdom. When Magic Kingdom’s newest fireworks spectacular Disney Enchantment debuted with three new dessert parties available, we were able to check them out! YUM While we were able to check these offerings out when they returned, recently we’ve been receiving multiple inquiries from readers who are saying that they are unable to book these fireworks packages in after January 21st, 2022. We found this to be a bit strange, since Disney World had not announced any changes being made to their fireworks package availability. We reached out to a Cast Member and pointed out the fact that the packages appeared to be unavailable after January 21st, and asked if they were available for booking after that date. Happily Ever After A Cast Member replied and said that fireworks package reservations are usually available 60 days in advance (like a Dining Reservation), but if availability is not showing, then those dates may not be available. Chatting with a Cast Member today regarding the availability of fireworks packages. As of this writing, 60 days out would be January 28th, 2022 — a full week after the latest date you can currently book a fireworks package. Is Disney modifying the fireworks dining package schedule to accommodate for lower park demand post-holiday season? Perhaps! Or Disney may simply be waiting to add these dates to the calendar. Either way, it appears that from January 21st onward, Magic Kingdom’s fireworks dining packages and water cruises are currently unavailable for booking.

We do our best to keep y’all updated with all the new things going on in Disney World. Disney Springs We’ve recently taken a look at what’s new at the Disney World hotels and in EPCOT, but it’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve taken you on a tour of all the updates in Disney Springs. There are LOTS of new snacks to see, some festive merchandise, and a BIG event opening to cover. So let’s get going! Disney Springs is the shopping, dining, and entertainment center located inside Disney World. You don’t have to pay to enter, and once inside you can check out some awesome Disney gift shops, high-end stores, incredible restaurants, and lots more. Disney Springs Since the holidays have started, you can also check out fun entertainment like the annual Christmas Tree Stroll, with ornately decorated Christmas Trees around the Springs. The holidays at Disney Springs But we’re on the lookout for different festive additions: treats! Disney Springs Food Updates There are several new holiday treats in Disney Springs right now, and some of our favorites are at Gideon’s Bakehouse. Gideon’s Bakehouse If you’re heading to Gideon’s, be prepared to wait for a while. The line can get VERY long (it wrapped around the surrounding buildings within an hour of opening when we stopped by), and sometimes they’ll use a virtual queue that gets up to a few hours long. The line goes past Morimoto Asia! This popular bakery has HUGE, delicious cookies as well as coffee and decadent cake. They have signature cookies each month, and they brought out their December treats early so that we could get a jump start on the festive season. Gideon’s holiday yummies! This season, you can try the Kris Kringle Cookie (a white chocolate coffee bean cookie) for $6. Holiday cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse There’s also a Krampus Cookie (a dark chocolate and Andes mint cookie) that’s $6 as well. Krampus cookie To go along with your sweet desserts, you can try out the Krampus Cold Brew, which is Gideon’s normal cold brew infused with a chocolate mint flavor. This drink is $6. We’re drinking Krampus coffee! All in all, we were VERY happy that we waited in line to get these popular treats. The cookies were flavorful and tasty (like always), and the cold brew was *chef’s kiss* perfection. Click Here to See Our Full Review of the Seasonal Treats at Gideon’s Over at Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew, you can get a seasonal donut that’s literally a Thanksgiving explosion. You’ll need a few napkins! The Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Mash-Up Donut is a big glazed donut that’s topped with cinnamon-sugar dusted sweet potato fries, crunchy candied pecans, and sweet-salty bacon, all drizzled with a marshmallow sauce. Whew! That’s a mouthful! You need this donut in your life. Like you might expect, this donut was very delicious and very sweet. It’s one of our favorite seasonal donuts that we’ve had at Everglazed, but we highly recommend bringing along a friend if you’re going to attempt to finish it! The donut costs $6.50. Click Here to Read Our Full Review of the Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Mash-Up Donut If you’re looking for a festive treat that’s good for a hot Florida day, head over to Vivoli il Gelato, where you can find the Peppermint Cheesecake Cookie Sandwich. Peppermint Cheesecake Cookie Sandwich This treat is cheesecake gelato between two red velvet cookies, topped with crushed peppermint candies. It costs $12. Share with your friends! Everything tasted amazing (and it’s a must-try for red velvet lovers), but the cookies were so hard that it kind of hurt to bite into them. But once they soaked up some of the gelato, they softened a little bit and we could enjoy this dessert.

The Ganachery This spot has festive flavors of chocolate… Festive chocolates …Santa Mickey Piñatas… Santa Mickey Piñatas …Peppermint Bark… Peppermint Bark …and Olaf Hot Cocoa Surprises.

More character dining is returning to Disney World! Story Book Dining at Artist Point Story Book Dining at Artist Point is reopening in Disney World soon, and with its reopening comes a revamped prix fixe menu with some changes. Let’s take a look! Story Book Dining at Artist Point. located in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, is a fan-favorite character dining post, with diners receiving visits from characters like Snow White, the Dwarfs, and even the Evil Queen sometimes. It will reopen for dinner on December 16th with modified character interactions. Story Book Dining at Artist Point When it comes to the prix fixe menu, guests will be able to choose from shared appetizers, one entree, and shared desserts. Disney has not yet updated the pricing for this menu but we’ll be watching closely for an update! Shared Appetizers at Storybook Dining As for the menu changes, Disney hasn’t made a TON of changes. With the shared appetizers, the Wicked Shrimp Cocktail and the Mushroom Bisque are returning, but the bisque is now called “Wild Mushroom Bisque.” The biggest change was made to the Hunter’s Terrine dish, which has now been changed to Hunter’s Pie and will be made with turkey, chicken, black truffle, cranberry preserve, and crispy sauerkraut. Hunter’s Pie With the entrees, the Royal Prime Rib Roast and A Stroll Through Nature are returning, but the “Cottage” Beef Stew has been renamed as “Cottage” Beef Stroganoff, though the dish’s ingredients seem to remain unchanged. And the Brother’s Grimm Roasted Chicken is now called the Brother’s Grimm Herb Chicken, made with cauliflower puree, roasted vegetables, and chicken jus. ©Disney The Magic Mirror’s Slow-braised Pork Shank has also swapped out celery root mashed potato with horseradish-mashed potato, along with wilted greens, and jus. The Sorceress Spell of Land and Sea was removed from the menu entirely. And there’s a new plant-based dish! The Sorceress Spell of “Tricken” Chicken comes with herb-crusted potatoes, snap peas, and vegetable jus. The Sorceress Spell of Land and Sea was removed from the menu entirely. The Queen For dessert, diners get to try four different sweet dishes, and Disney has made one change to these treats. Fairy Tale Gooseberry Tart, “Poison” Apple, and The Hunger’s Gift to the Queen are returning, but the Miner’s Treasures ingredients have been changed to cookies ’n cream panna cotta and chocolate gems, as opposed to its previous recipe including sponge cake, chocolate gems, and berry panna cotta. ©Disney The kids’ menu has not changed, but the drink menus have had a few updates! The non-alcoholic Wishing Apple Punch has dropped in price from $7 to $5, but it will no longer include a Souvenir Glow Cube. Now, the Glow Cube may be purchased for an additional $3.79. ©Disney The Antidote has lowered in price from $14 to $13, The Smoking Mirror has increased in price from $13 to $14, and Jai Alai IPA will now cost $9.75. A Brew of Peaches will now be made with Jim Beam Black Extra-aged Bourbon instead of Buffalo Trace bourbon, and Alchemy will be made with Tanqueray Gin, as opposed to Uncle Val’s Gin. ©Disney And those are all the changes on the Story Book Dining menu! We’ll be watching out for Disney to announce pricing soon, so stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World dining news! Check out our Story Book Dining at Artist Point review!

Disney has had a number of different health and safety requirements in their parks, hotels, and stores throughout the pandemic. Mask Signage Since Disney properties have reopened, we’ve seen a variety of requirements from temperature checks, physical distancing, face mask requirements, and more. Gradually, some of those requirements have been scaled back or disappeared completely. And now, another change is being made to how you shop in Disney stores. Face coverings are no longer required at Disney stores, unless required by local regulation. Disney store Previously, all guests ages 2 and older were required to wear face coverings in Disney stores. Now, Disney its just encouraging people ages 2 and older to wear face coverings. Masks are still required inside stores in the Disney Parks, though! Cast Members, however, are still required to wear face coverings at all times, regardless of vaccination status. Minnie in her mask As a reminder to those who still want to wear a face covering while shopping, Disney says face coverings should be made with at least two layers of breathable material, fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin, fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face, and be secured with ties or ear loops and allow the Guest to remain hands-free. Mask requirements Guests do need to provide their own face coverings and the wearing of the mask doesn’t replace physical distancing, which should be practiced at all times, according to Disney. Disney store in the Orlando Airport And, again, if there is a local requirement, face coverings must be worn by Guests in accordance with the local regulation.
