Good news for fans of the new EPCOT night show, Harmonious! The music from the new nighttime spectacular is now streaming! Harmonious from Rose & Crown The album, which features 10 tracks highlighting the globally inspired music of the show can now be streamed on Apple Music and Spotify! You heard us! Whether you’re trying to relive Harmonious from the comfort of your home, putting in headphones, closing your eyes, and pretending you’re taking a musical tour through the world showcase, or if you just need an amazing Disney music pick-me-up, look no further! © Walt Disney Records Harmonious, which premiered at EPCOT on October 1st for the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World, uses music and the Disney icons that we all love to take us on a culturally driven journey around the world. Harmonious The soundtrack features 15 songs in 13 languages, and lasts roughly 20 minutes, and in our opinion, it’s front to back certified bops! Make sure to check out the Harmonious album if you’re a fan of the show, and even if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a great listen for any Disney fan! Read more about Harmonious here!

Diwali Holiday Today, Disney shared some special images about India’s biggest holiday of the year — Diwali! Earlier today, Disney shared some images via Twitter all about Diwali. Not familiar with this holiday? Let Sanjay (who you’ll recognize from a Pixar short) and his family tell you all about it. ©Disney Diwali is India’s biggest holiday. During this celebration, people “illuminate their homes and businesses to symbolize the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.” ©Disney The holiday is celebrated over a period of several days. You can see more about each of these days in the photo below. ©Disney During Diwali, families make special dishes and share them with guests. ©Disney Throughout the Festival of Lights, different rituals take place to celebrate and recognize the significance of the holiday. ©Disney And that’s a very brief look at Diwali.

After the opening of Drawn to Life (Cirque du Soleil’s new show coming to Disney Springs) was delayed just before its original opening date due to the global pandemic, the creators had time to think deeper about the show. ©Disney Drawn to Life is now set to open in Disney Springs on November 18th, and today we were able to attend a virtual media event with the creators. During the event, they talked in-depth about the show and how it serves as their love letter to animation. We learned that during the delay, the creators made some big, dynamic changes! Let’s get into it. Drawn to Life is a story about a twelve-year-old girl named Julie who is tasked with finishing an animation project left by her Disney animator father after his death. She must embark on a quest of animation filled with imagination, dreaming, and Disney childhood memories. ©Cirque Du Soleil During the delay of the show, the creators were able to revisit the story with fresh eyes, through a lens of loss and life. They ended up adding two new acts to the show, and they’re both quite the additions! The Old Mill This new act is inspired by the 1937 animated Disney short film, The Old Mill, and they have developed a double wheel structure that resembles a windmill and provides a base for gravity-defying acrobatic moves. In the story, Julie has imagined a storm that is threatening the windmill, which is the home of some owls who must work together to stay safe. ©Cirque du Soleil The performers must keep up with the wheel structure that rises and falls, with some them them even going airborne! Garden of Lines Garden of Lines is generally based on Pinocchio. In this section, five performers play the role of the Blue Fairy as they glide across the floor on unicycles. The performers have carefully choreographed and synchronized their moves, all of which are performed on unicycles. One cyclist even jump ropes while on her unicycle! ©Cirque du Soleil This act is all about the lines that are the beginning of an artist’s creation, and the section is inspired by the whimsical fairytales of our childhoods. La Nouba During the event today, we also learned a fun detail about the show’s set. For those of you who loved La Nouba, which ran for 19 years in Disney Springs, the creators hinted that there is ONE La Nouba prop hidden in the show. ©Cirque Du Soleil Outfits It will probably take a careful eye to spot it though, so be sure to look carefully when you watch the show! Cirque du Soleil Store Want to grab merchandise to celebrate this new show? Then you’re in luck! The Cirque du Soleil Store reopened today in Disney Springs before the opening of Drawn to Life, and you can already start stocking up on merchandise! Cirque du Soleil Store But, there’s more to see here than just merchandise. Look carefully — do you spot the special item in the room? You can see a larger-than-life desk lamp hanging from the ceiling (we can’t help but be reminded of Luxo, Jr.). See the lamp? There was quite a bit of new Drawn to Life merchandise available. Most of them feature inspiring phrases related to imagination and animation. Cirque du Soleil Store This gray long sleeve hooded top says “animation is imagination.” Hooded Top There are also lots of items with sparkly rainbow details, like with this sequined backpack, and this colorful t-shirt has the phrase “always dream in color.” Sparkly! You can also get a rainbow pouch that reminds you to dream in color. Always dream in color Another awesome item is this “animation is imagination” bag! It looks like it’s straight out of a 2D animation! Animation is Imagination You can also grab a rainbow water bottle that says “always dream in color” to help you stay hydrated as you work on making your dreams come true! Bottle This kids’ dress says “enter the forest of your imagination” and has splashes of rainbow colors. Kids’ Dress And this adorable t-shirt says “let your imagination soar” and features characters holding balloons. Balloons! You can “draw your own destiny” with this red, white, and blue bow hat… Bow hat …or you can pick up this blue hat that says “life is what you draw of it.” Life is what your draw of it! You can also check out this gray sweatshirt with the same phrase! Sweatshirt That’s a LOT of new merchandise to get before the show has even opened! Stop by Disney Springs to check it out and stock up on Drawn to Life items. Want to learn more about the show? Check out the video below! As we mentioned above, Drawn to Life opens in Disney Springs on November 18th and tickets are on sale now, though some performances have already sold out.

It’s a new month in Disney World, which means it’s time for some new monthly menu items to make an appearance! One of the places we love to keep our eyes on each month is the Coca Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar in Disney Springs. Coca Cola Store and Rooftop Beverage Bar Previous months’ menu items have included the Hot Hot Summer Heat and the Simply Razzle Dazzle. Today, we’re sipping on some seasonally-appropriate flavors for November’s Drink of the Month! If you aren’t quite ready to move on from fall flavors to the holiday selections popping up at Starbucks, then the Coca Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar might be where you want to stop by next! This month’s drink of choice at the Rooftop Bar is a Caramel Apple Cider! We spotted November’s Drink of the Month! It’s made with Simply Apple Juice, Smirnoff Kissed Caramel, and Jack Daniels Tennessee Apple. Caramel Apple Cider It’s also garnished with Whipped Cream with Caramel Drizzle and an Apple Slice outside lip of the cup. It comes with a cute apple slice as a garnish! This drink SCREAMS fall! We thought that it wasn’t too sweet and that it had just the right amount of each flavor — essentially, it tasted like an alcoholic apple juice with caramel. We did find that the whipped cream didn’t blend well into the drink on its own unless you really wanted to make your drink a little creamier and stirred it in. It’s fall in a cup! In fact, stirring might be a good idea regardless. We found that most of the alcohol sat at the bottom of the drink, so you may be in for an unexpected surprise at the end if you don’t mix it up! While we don’t think it’s the most photogenic drink in the world (especially compared to their Blueberry Shimmer Belini), overall this is a really nice seasonal drink to try if you’re into fall flavors! If you’re into fall flavors, this may be the perfect drink for you. You can try this drink out for yourself for $15 if you visit the Rooftop Bar in the month of November! Be sure to follow along as we try even more seasonal treats around Disney World — there’s a ton of them popping up as the holiday season kicks into gear!

You can find all kinds of holiday treats in Disney World right now! It’s the holidays in Magic Kingdom! We’ve already tried out some of the bakery confections and seen a few treats holding onto the fall season, but now we’re heading to a familiar spot for some holiday drinks. Peppermint Mocha…Irish Cream Cold Brew…Chestnut Praline Latte…any of those ringing a bell? If you guessed Starbucks, you’re right! All the Starbucks locations in Disney World got their holiday drinks today. You can find some old favorites like Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew, Caramel Brûlée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Peppermint Hot Chocolate on the menus… Holiday drinks menu …but there’s also a newcomer: the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte with Almond Milk! We headed into the Main Street Bakery in the Magic Kingdom to give it a try. To the Main Street Bakery For $5.69, you can get an iced latte with hints of sugar cookie flavor, topped with sugar cookie sprinkles. Iced Sugar Cookie Latte We thought this drink was actually delicious. We thought it would be overly sweet and loaded with a cookie flavor, but the sweetness was actually much more subtle than that. Very tasty Since we don’t usually love intensely sweet drinks, we really enjoyed this one. But if you’re looking for a strong cookie flavor, you might be a little disappointed in this latte. Even we could’ve done with a bit more of the cookie-ness, although we thought the sprinkles on top were a fun touch. There are sprinkles inside In general, it was basically a normal iced latte with hints of cookie flavor, so it’s a fun way to bring just a little bit of Christmas cheer into your normal coffee routine. So festive But if you don’t want sugary cookie flavor in your coffee, or you want a very strong Christmas flavor, we’d recommend trying out a different drink! In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we picked up one of our old favorites, the hot Caramel Brûlée, at the Starbucks location in this park — the Trolley Car Cafe. After all, 73° is cool enough for a hot coffee, right? Maybe? Caramel Brûlée This one was tasty (as expected)! Lotsa whipped cream You can get it and all the other holiday drinks at the Starbucks locations inside the Disney World parks. The other parks’ locations are the Traveler’s Cafe in EPCOT… Starbucks- Traveler’s Cafe …and Creature Comforts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Creature Comforts Note that when we stopped by the Trolley Car Cafe, the Irish Cream Cold Brew was not available at the time. So the drinks may vary, depending on the demand and which park you’re in. But if you’re not finding something that looks good in the Starbucks locations, you can always check out Joffrey’s (the other coffee stop in Disney World), which has locations in each of the Disney World parks as well.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a real-life superhero? Well, when you’re visiting Disneyland Resort you can actually make that happen! Avengers Campus Avengers Campus is an entire land in Disney California Adventure dedicated to the Marvel superheroes that we’re used to seeing on the big screen. And, you’ll be able to experience more than a casual wave to Iron Man…you can actually become a superhero on the newest attraction, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. Since opening, the attraction has operated with a virtual queue (something that many Disney fans have become used to when visiting the parks nowadays), but it seems that this has changed! Last month, Disneyland quietly updated its website to reflect a BIG change to the virtual queue system. Basically, it adjusted the language from guests always needing to get a spot in the virtual queue to ride to now stating that guests may be required to join a virtual queue. And, it appears that Disney has put this into action and is instead operating the standby queue today. WEB SLINGERS Entrance When we checked the Disneyland app today, WEB SLINGERS had a standby wait time listed, indicating that the virtual queue had been disabled. ©Disney We were then able to further confirm this by going into the Virtual Queue section of the app where we could clearly see that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was still operating with the virtual queue… ©Disney …while WEB SLINGERS was not. The “How to Experience” description explains this a bit further stating that “The standby line access for WEB SLINGER: A Spider-Man Adventure may be available at park open and again after boarding groups have been called for the day. Check the attraction listing to learn if current attraction access is via virtual queue or standby line.” ©Disney If this feels familiar, that’s because we’ve seen the virtual queue paused at another attraction — just on the opposite coast! Earlier this year, Disney World announced that they would be pausing the virtual queue system for Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. A virtual queue can still be found at the new attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, in EPCOT, and it could make its way back to Rise of the Resistance eventually. WEB SLINGERS queue WEB SLINGERS virtual queue situation is a bit different than that at Rise of the Resistance in Disney World because it seems that Disneyland is using it on an “as needed” basis. Because of this, you’ll want to be sure that you check the Disneyland app before you make your plans on how you’ll ride this popular attraction. If the virtual queue is in place, boarding group distribution times are at 7AM and 12PM. WEB SLINGERS Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates on the virtual queue system in the Disney Parks, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

We’ve been keeping an eye out for any news and updates about the train that is set to bring guests from Orlando International Airport to Disney Springs. Brightline Trains So far, we’ve gotten updates on its route and potential delays, news about when construction of the line to Disney World could begin, and more. Now, we’ve got an update about just how many train stations in Florida may be in the works. According to the Orlando Business Journal, Brightline has indicated that it could have up to 12 stations in its path planned between Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, once the entire route is complete. ©Brightline This possibility was addressed during a recent presentation given by Brightline to the Florida Development Finance Corp. at Orlando International Airport. Brightline is seeking a $1 billion bond from the Florida Development Finance Corp. for current and future construction. So what stations are currently in development for Brightline? Well, Brightline has existing stations in MiamiCentral, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. Other stations are already in the works in Boca Raton and Aventura, which are set to be completed in the fall of 2022. ©Brightline There is another proposed station at PortMiami in planning, and a proposed station at Disney Springs in Disney World, as well as Tampa. That’s a look at the ones we’ve already heard about. So, what other stations might take shape in Florida? According to the Orlando Business Journal, a Brightline spokesman has indicated that other potential station locations include “the Treasure Coast, Space Coast and Lakeland.” Those potential stations, however, would be “in the company’s longterm outlook.” ©Brightline Brightline has been in discussions with some officials about potential future stations. For example, some officials have discussed a potential station in Brevard County, while others “have called for a station in the International Drive corridor.” At the moment, Brightline is about 65% complete on its Orlando-to-West Palm Beach expansion. That construction is set to be done by late 2022, with service starting in 2023. According to a schedule previously proposed by Brightline, construction of the “initial phase” of the line from the Orlando airport to Disney Springs would start by the first quarter of 2024. The route to Tampa may then start to be constructed as early as the second quarter of 2025. ©Brightline Train Of course, the dates and potential stations are subject to change. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more information about the Brightline train. Check back with us for all the latest updates!
