A lot has changed at Disneyland Resort since it reopened a little over 6 months ago! Sleeping Beauty Castle We’ve seen fireworks return to Disneyland Park, popular attractions debut new updates, and Disney even introduced a brand new holiday after-hours event. But, that’s not all! Just last month, we shared a BIG update on Disneyland’s ticketing options (including a pricier tier) and now we’ve got another update to the new passholder program — Magic Key. If you’re not familiar, Disneyland debuted a brand new passholder program earlier this year called Magic Key. This completely replaced the former annual passholder program (including Legacy Passholders) and provides guests with four different tiered options that come with varying benefits, blockout dates, and more. And, the new program has proven to be pretty popular! Exclusive Magic Key Lounge Just last month, the top-tiered pass — the Dream Key Pass — completely sold out, leaving guests with only three levels to choose from. But, now that is even more limited as the second-highest tier — the Believe Key Pass — has sold out as well. ©Disney Currently, only two ticketing options remain for those hoping to become Magic Key holders. This includes the Enchant Key, which costs $649 and provides guests with the ability to hold four theme park reservations at a time and 10% off merchandise and select food and beverage. And, the other option is the Imagine Key, which costs $399 annually and is only available to Southern California residents. Just keep in mind that this is the lowest tier option, so it provides the least amount of benefits for guests. ©Disney Disney has previously shared that the sale of annual passes would be limited in an effort to manage capacity in the parks and we are already beginning to see a similar approach implemented in Disney World as well. Magic Key Embroidery options Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for more Disneyland ticketing updates, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

One of the Disney World foodie phenomenons that fans can’t get enough of is POG Juice! You may have heard of this tropical blend of passion fruit, orange, and guava juices before; they’re essentially a staple drink the whole family can enjoy around Disney World (in particular at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort). POG Juice in the Polynesian You also may have heard that in recent months, there seemed to have been a shortage of POG Juice, resulting in a property-wide shortage and a sudden switch in suppliers! Prior to the shortage, Minute Maid/Coca-Cola was the supplier of POG Juice, but back in September, we learned that the source had been switched to Nestle. Ready for Some POG Juice? Today while we were in the parks, we confirmed with a Cast Member that the original brand of POG Juice supplied by Coca-Cola was BACK as of last week! POG cocktail at the Barefoot Pool Bar Back when the supplier switch happened, we noticed that the Nestle version tasted much sweeter than its original Coca-Cola version. You may or may not have noticed a change in flavor if you were in the parks during the great POG shortage of 2021, but now you know that when you’re sipping on this iconic Disney World beverage, you’re enjoying the original version! P.O.G. juice! FYI, if you aren’t heading to the parks soon but you’re craving some POG Juice, you can make some at home with this recipe. We’ll be on the lookout for more updates from around the parks and resorts, so be sure to follow along for the latest Disney World news!

EPCOT has seen quite a lot of changes this year, including the addition of some new dining locations! Over in the France Pavilion, guests have been able to enjoy both sweet and savory crêpes at La Crêperie de Paris. La Creperie de Paris When the table service portion of this hybrid seated and to-go dining location first opened, guests were NOT able to book Advance Dining Reservations — they were only accepting walk-ups. But it looks that has all changed! Over on Instagram, @artisandesglace announced that “starting now you can start booking priority seating for La Creperie de Paris for 11/28 and after!” The Galette When we checked Disney World’s website, it appears that guests may now book ahead for lunch and dinner reservations for times starting on November 28th. At this time, advance breakfast reservations appear to be unavailable and will continue to operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. © Disney If you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to book an Advance Dining Reservation for La Crêperie de Paris on your next Disney World vacation, now is your chance! Remember that dining reservations open up 60 days in advance. We’ll be on the lookout for more of the latest Disney World news and updates!

It’s the holiday season in Disney World! Tis the Season! We’ve been around the resort checking out all the fun decorations, festive food, and special entertainment. And, while we’ve already tried a bunch of sweet treats, today we checked out another seasonal dessert over in Disney Springs! This is the Peppermint Cheesecake Cookie Sandwich from Vivoli il Gelato! It has two red velvet cookies, cheesecake gelato, and peppermint candies for $12. Very festive! So, here’s the issue…these cookies were hard as a ROCK. It took a lot of effort to bite and cut into this thing. Once we were able to, though, they did taste pretty good with a nice red velvet flavor! Watch your teeth on this one The cookies also had really tasty white and milk chocolate pieces in them. Check out those chocolate chips The cheesecake gelato tasted more like vanilla to us, with just a subtle tang like you get with cream cheese. Peppermint Cheesecake Cookie Sandwich And, the peppermint candies that were on the outside of the gelato were delicious and gave a nice crunch to the gelato! After a lot of effort, we were able to cut into this This cookie sandwich is definitely for sharing (unless you’re SUPER hungry), because it was HUGE! We would really be impressed if one person could eat all of this. Share with your friends! Overall, the cookies were way too hard — we wanted more of an ooey gooey consistency instead of being scared for the safety of our teeth. If you like peppermint, then you’ll probably like this, as that’s the main flavor of the sandwich. But, if you don’t want to get messy, maybe get something you can eat a little bit easier, like the Holiday Mickey Mousse Dome Cake over at Amorette’s Patisserie!

The holiday shopping season is officially upon us, and Disney Springs is an excellent spot to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list! The holidays have arrived at Disney Springs We visited the shopping and dining district today and came across a NEW shopping location (that smells fantastic, by the way) that we wanted to make sure you knew about! You may already know about Days of Christmas, the year-round holiday shop that has all sorts of seasonal goodies. Days of Christmas But during our visit today, we discovered a new shop that’s connected once you step inside! Bowes Signature Candles Bowes Signature Candles, which has had a location in the Marketplace Co Op, now has an independent store location of their very own! Their Marketplace Co Op still exists as well, now giving you two locations to shop for these unique holiday gifts! This store smells wonderful! Note that we didn’t spot any outdoor signage so you wouldn’t even know the store existed if you walked by outside! You have to enter Days of Christmas in order to find them! You may also notice a few familiar scents when you check out their candles — for example, “Clover World” smells a lot like Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and “Orange Grove” smells a lot like the oranges from Soarin’ Over California. It’s connected to Days of Christmas We’ll be on the lookout for more new additions to Disney Springs, so be sure to follow along for the latest discoveries!

There are lots of surprising little (and sometimes big) things that you can find in Disney World each day — from surprising bits of magic created by Cast Members to hidden details. EPCOT Earlier today, as we were walking around EPCOT, we found something surprising and fun that guests could participate in! Are you a fan of the show America’s Funniest Videos? Well, you can watch the series on Disney+ and laugh the day away. But, why just watch when you can PARTICIPATE in part of the show? AFV © Disney Over at EPCOT today, we saw some signs up inviting guests to participate as a voting audience for America’s Funniest Videos! The sign was posted over by World Showplace (between the United Kingdom and Canada pavilions). There were some voting times listed on the sign… You Can Vote! …and we also spotted an individual with an America’s Funniest Home Videos shirt! AFV Shirt! Now, perhaps this voting is not a big surprise. Voting for the show has taken place at Disney World in the past, and the show is on ABC (which is owned by the Walt Disney Company) and some episodes are available on Disney+. Still, it was a surprising thing to randomly spot in the parks today. Just goes to show, you never quite know what you’ll find in Disney World. It’s important to always keep your eyes open for fun and unique opportunities, like this one, which can pop up unannounced! Ready to Vote?
