If you’re a runner who loves Disney, you probably already know all about the runDisney events. ©Disney There are several races during the runDisney season (about November through April each year), including the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, and the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. Now another full weekend is joining the group, with three races that are themed after popular Disney attractions. During the new Springtime Surprise Weekend, you can run in the Expedition Everest 5K, the Race for the Taste 10K, and the Tower of Terror 10-Miler. If some of these races sound familiar, you’re not crazy. The races are all similar to ones from the past, but they’ve each got a little twist this time. There is also a runDisney Springtime Surprise Challenge, where participants can run in all three races and get a special challenge medal. ©Disney The races all take place between April 1st and April 3rd, 2022. The Expedition Everest 5K is on April 1st. It will feature a nighttime 5K race with a scavenger hunt that takes place during the race. Registration for the 5K costs $100. ©Disney The Race for the Taste 10K is on April 2nd and will be themed after the new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure from EPCOT. The 10K will cost $135. And the Tower of Terror 10-Miler (on April 3rd) is similar to the race of the past, but it’s going to be in the morning instead of at night. The 10-Miler will be $190. ©Disney If you want to run in all three races, you can do the Challenge for $445. Runners can also sign up to join the sunrise yoga in front of the Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom. ©Disney If you’d prefer to do the races from home, you can join a virtual race, where you’ll complete the race on your own course and be sent a medal, t-shirt, and other goodies. These will range in price from $75 to $305, depending on the race(s) you choose. ©Disney Runners can start registering for the Springtime Surprise Weekend on December 9th, 2021.

We love how Disney World has a lot of fun with its snacks. Why so angry, Dole Whip? We’ve eaten things with Mr. Toad’s face on them, Cheeto-dusted burgers, cupcakes with spiders on them, and donuts with candy corn. But we just tried a snack that is a TOTAL mood, y’all. The snack is the Kakamora Dole Whip, which we found at Pineapple Lanai at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Now, we have seen a Kakamora Dole Whip floats before, but this one is different. It’s basically a Dole Whip (you get to choose what flavors you want) in an edible bowl with Chocolate-Dipped Pretzel Sticks and a White Chocolate Disc… Kakamora Dole Whip And that White Chocolate Disc is Kakamora’s face! Grr! Honestly, we love that little adorable angry face! He’s so cute! As you can get whatever Dole Whip flavor you want (based on what’s available for the day), we chose a Pineapple and Vanilla Swirl. And it was delicious! Pineapple swirled into vanilla = yum. The Pretzel Sticks weren’t anything to write home about, though — they were like the pretzel sticks you can get at the grocery just dipped in chocolate. Pretzel stick The Kakamora face is a THICK piece of white chocolate – yum! We’d also like to point out that although the bowl looks like it’s a waffle cone bowl, it’s not — it’s actually just a regular cone bowl with a waffle print on it. Not a real waffle cone bowl Also, this snack is HUGE, and shareable (if you WANT to share). You can grab it now for $5.99. And if we spot any other unique Disney World snacks, we’ll be sure to let you know! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

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. Over the past several months, we’ve been keeping an eye out for updates regarding the COVID-19 situation in Florida, travel restrictions, and more to help you best plan for your upcoming trips. COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign For quite some time, the COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for adults and for those ages 12+. But, now we’ve got an update regarding the COVID-19 vaccine for those with younger children. According to the Associated Press, U.S. health officials have approved Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11. The FDA had already authorized the use of these doses for kids ages 5 to 11. The doses have a third of the amount provided to teens and adults. Now, both a CDC advisory panel and the CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, have approved the use of the vaccine for children in that age group. Health & Safety Reminders The CDC has indicated that the first injections for those in this younger category could begin “as soon as possible.” The vaccine will operate similarly to the adult version, where 5-to-11-year-olds will receive two of the lower doses 3 weeks apart from one another. The shot will be administered using a smaller needle. The shots also come with orange caps, so it isn’t confused with the adult version of the vaccine, which features a purple cap. Pfizer has already began to ship millions of these doses to states, doctors’ offices, and pharmacies for use. Hand Sanitizer During the studies conducted by Pfizer, they found that the “kid-size vaccine is nearly 91% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19.” The FDA examined more kids, reaching a total of over 3,000 who were vaccinated, and concluded the shots are safe. According to the FDA studies, the younger kids experienced “similar or fewer reactions — such as sore arms, fever or achiness — than teens or young adults get after larger doses.” However, AP News shares that the study wasn’t large enough to detect any extremely rare side effects. AP shares that “Regulators ultimately decided the benefits from vaccination outweigh the potential that younger kids getting a smaller dose also might experience that rare risk.” Health and Safety Signage at Disneyland Pfizer is also in the process of testing vaccinations for preschoolers and babies with data expected to be obtained by the end of this year. Moderna has also been working to release vaccines for teens and younger children, although the FDA hasn’t cleared the use of the Moderna vaccine for those younger individuals yet. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates. Over 40,000 readers voted: Will YOU cancel your Disney World trip in 2021 or 2022? Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Character meet and greets recently returned to Disney World in a new, modified way that Disney is calling “sightings.” Nice to see you, Mickey! At character sightings, guests can get one-on-one time with available characters in a socially distanced way. There are no autographs or hugs yet, but you can take photos and have a chat. Now Disney has made planning your day around character sightings easier, and here’s how! In the My Disney Experience app, you can now see which characters are available for sightings and the length of the standby wait time. Right now, only Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios have announced the return of characters available for sightings. Right now, you can meet a few of the Princesses and Mickey in Magic Kingdom! ©Disney We noticed that Disney has changed the language to say “See Cinderella” instead of “Meet Cinderella,” likely due to the modified nature of these meet and greets. ©Disney As you can see, Tinker Bell is not yet available for meet and greets, and the app still says “Meet Tinker Bell.” We’ll be on the lookout for her return, and you can use My Disney Experience to check for other Disney characters’ availabilities. ©Disney In Magic Kingdom, you can catch Mickey in his EARidescent 50th anniversary suit at the Town Square Theater! You can also see how long these characters are available, with Mickey’s showtimes showing availability from 9AM to 8:30PM. And as you can see, the current wait is 5 minutes. ©Disney We did not see these sightings in the Disney Genie tip board yet, but we’ll be watching closely for more changes. So next time you’re in the parks, check the My Disney Experience app to find out which Disney characters are available to see! Then you will know how long they are meeting for and you can set a wait time expectation for your party. Keep checking back with DFB for more Disney World news.

We’ve been seeing all kinds of holiday treats in Disney World over the last couple of days. EPCOT We tried a couple of the holiday confections that you can find in display cases at bakeries in all the parks, like eggnog fudge, themed caramel apples, and more. But we’re SUPER excited for the latest treat that’s now available in EPCOT! Over the last couple of years, this treat has become a very important part of the holidays in EPCOT for us, so we’re really happy to see it return now. Where can you find this holiday delight? Just head to Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion at EPCOT’s World Showcase. Karamell-Kuche This store has all kinds of caramel treats, like delicious caramel popcorn, caramel squares, and even caramel s’mores. Yum! But we’re here for a very specific festive item: the Werther’s Original Gingerbread Caramel Cookie Sandwich. ©Disney This treat is two soft gingerbread cookies held together with buttercream icing and Werther’s caramel inside. You can get one for $5.99. Gingerbread Caramel Sandwich Last year, the gingerbread caramel sandwich arrived earlier (in October), so we were a little nervous when it didn’t show up around the same time this year. YUM But it turns out, this delicious confection was just politely waiting its turn. Now that the pumpkin treat season has passed, it’s full on gingerbread from here! You’ll find plenty of gingerbread flavor in the caramel cookie sandwich, with two BIG cookies (and lots of icing in between). We’re so ready for gingerbread season And remember, you can now Mobile Order from Karamell-Küche. So that makes it even easier to get your hands on this treat!! We’ll be heading in for a full review of this year’s version of the treat soon, so stay tuned with DFB!
