EPCOT generally has the latest park opening time in Disney World, opening at 11AM most days. Spaceship Earth EPCOT opened early in October for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration, but eventually returned to its 11AM opening time. Now, for November, we spotted another time change. If you have a November trip to Disney World planned, this is something you’ll definitely want to be aware of! Beginning on November 8th, EPCOT will open at 10AM instead of 11AM. Its closing time remains at 10PM, and the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will still begin each day at 11AM. ©Disney According to Disney World’s calendar, this 10AM opening time will last through November 20th. ©Disney Starting on November 1st, 2021, it appears the park’s opening time will return to 11AM and it will remain that way through January 1st, 2022. ©Disney Starting on January 2nd, 2022, Disney World once again lists the opening time at 10AM, with a closing time of 9PM. ©Disney Of course, these hours are subject to change. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Disney World park hours for more changes, so keep reading DFB for all your Disney World planning news! Here are Disney World park hours through early January!

We’re constantly looking out for fantastic snacks and drinks for you to try in Disney World. Disney Springs Sometimes we see the return of a fan-favorite snack, a special treat released for the holidays, or a brand new creation. And now one restaurant in Disney World has announced a dish that’ll be available at a special price, but you’ll have to visit at just the right time to grab it! STK Orlando is a steakhouse located in Disney Springs, which is Disney World’s huge center for shopping, dining, and other entertainment. STK Orlando At STK, you can grab a steak or maybe some pricy mac ‘n’ cheese, but STK just announced that they’ll be offering a savory dish at a special price. The dish we’re talking about is the Wagyu Brunch Burger and Fries! The burger appears to have a beef patty with cheese, a fried egg, and sliced avocado on top. It also comes with fries on the side. ©STK One of the best parts is that this creation is just $9.99 — and if you know STK’s normal prices, you’ll know that’s a steal! Note that a wagyu breakfast burger has been on the menu for a while, but that one is described as having a 7oz beef patty, American cheese, bacon, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, and special sauce, served with fries. That burger is currently priced at $23. So, if you’re interested in getting the Wagyu Brunch Burger and Fries shown in the advertisement at the special $9.99 price, be sure to ask about it specifically when you visit. STK Outdoor Seating It looks like this burger is only available during weekend brunch at this special price, though you can order a Wagyu Burger at a different price during lunch and add on an egg, avocado, and more (for an additional cost) to make a similar creation. STK serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00AM to 3:00PM. Make sure you’ve got reservations during those times if you’re hoping to try the dish at that special price. STK will also have a live DJ and brunch cocktails at those times. STK in Disney Springs And keep following DFB for more food updates in Disney World.

Peppermint drinks have arrived, snacks themed to snow and Christmas trees are on their way, and (of course) there’s Santa Mickey merchandise galore. That can only mean one thing…the holidays have arrived in Disney World! Holiday Decor is Up in Various Spots! Yes, yes, we know it was JUST Halloween, but Disney World is not wasting any time when it comes to decking the halls for the holidays. And today, the day after Halloween, a very special holiday tradition returned to a fan-favorite Disney World hotel. Last year, the iconic gingerbread displays were not put up in Disney World’s hotels. But, this year the gingerbread displays are BACK in full force at select spots. In fact, starting today, you can stop by Disney’s Beach Club Resort to take a look at their absolutely gorgeous gingerbread carousel as it nears completion. Of course, we had to make our way over there to see it in person! Gingerbread Carousel Work Every year, the theme of the Gingerbread Carousel changes. Back in 2018, it featured horses themed to Donald Duck and more. In 2019, we saw a Peter Pan theme. This year, the life-size spinning carousel is themed to The Little Mermaid (how appropriate for the Beach Club!). Can You Believe How Stunning They Are?! This amazing work of art features hand-painted holiday characters, gingerbread shingles that are handcrafted, and even some beautiful snowflakes made of fondant that celebrate Disney World’s 50th anniversary. Extra Details! Several of the carousel’s horses were in progress… Little Mermaid Horse …and the talented team was also working on decorations inspired by characters like Scuttle and Flounder! Flounder and Scuttle! They look just as excited about Christmas time as we do! If you’ve never seen these displays, it’s well worth the quick walk over from EPCOT or even the boat or Skyliner ride over from other spots. You can also stop by The American Adventure Rotunda in EPCOT and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to see more epic gingerbread displays later this year.

A lot of people loved to use the Dining Plan on their Disney World vacations. Chicken Strips at Cosmic Ray’s With the Disney Dining Plan, guests could basically pre-pay for their meals, drinks, and snacks by purchasing one of four different plans. Then during their vacation, guests would have “credits” to use for snacks, quick-service meals, and table-service meals. When Disney World reopened last year, they did not bring back the Dining Plan. So we asked all of you whether you thought the plan would return this year, and if not, when do you think it’ll come back? We’re going to preface this by saying that Disney has announced that the Dining Plan will return sometime in the future. So although it’s not available now (and Disney hasn’t said when it will return), we’re expecting to see it again eventually. Disney Dining Plan Shirt It might not be soon, though, according to most of our readers. We asked you on Instagram whether you thought the Dining Plan would return this year, and 73% of you said “No!” Most people think the Dining Plan won’t return this year We also asked WHEN you thought it would return, since most people don’t think it’ll be this year. (Except for the 27% holding out hope — we’re hoping it’ll be soon, too!) Be Our Guest tables A lot of people are guessing that the plan will return in 2022. One reader said “After the holidays.” Plaza Restaurant Tables Another reader speculated that it’ll return “right before summer crowds of 2022.” Main Street, U.S.A. A couple of people thought it would be much longer, with one person guessing the plan will be brought back “after the 50th.” Since the 50th Anniversary celebrations will be running for 18 months, that means the Dining Plan wouldn’t start until the Spring of 2023. Happy 50th! Although some people said it would “never” come back, we know that the plan is going to return, as per Disney’s statement this past summer. So never fear — you’ll be able to stack those snack credits again, we just don’t know when yet. Corn Dog Nuggets from Casey’s Corner…we’re drooling And a few readers expressed how much they want the plan to come back. One said, “Hopefully by my next vacation!” And then another took it to the next level: “IDK, but I’m not coming back until it does!” Nomad Lounge We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear when the Disney Dining Plan is returning.

The resorts around Disney World get decked out for the holiday season, but Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa might just be one of the most beautiful. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa From the stunning tree in the lobby to the rest of the holiday decor, this is one resort you’ll want to visit at least once during the holidays. And we haven’t even MENTIONED the grand gingerbread house the resort comes up with every year! Last year’s holidays might have been pared back some, with NO gingerbread displays at the resorts, but the Grand Floridian did reveal a small gingerbread sculpture. However, this year, the chefs at the resort are bringing back the big gingerbread house and we’ve got some photos of its construction! Progress! The area is roped off and we spotted Cast Members actively working on the house. Look how much they’ve done already! A closer look We can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s done.

Star Wars pickles, limited time cocktails, and plenty of treats? Yup, it’s Halloween in Disney World, folks! Does this wreath say Halloween to you? As we’re exploring the parks today, we’re thrilled to sip on a Pumpkin Spice Latte and snack on themed goodies to celebrate. But, we aren’t the only ones who are visiting Disney World today, ready to have a blast! So, we’re giving you a look at the crowds we saw for Halloween! When we entered the Magic Kingdom, we knew it was going to be a pretty busy day after seeing the crowds around the parks! Tomorrowland was one of the most popular areas of the park as many guests were milling about to dining locations, attractions, and more. Tomorrowland Crowds Some of the quieter attractions were even busy with longer queues at rides like Tomorrowland Speedway… It’s a Busy Day! …and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin! Line Queues However, even though the queues looked busier, the wait times weren’t as high as we were expected (although they did near or go just over an hour at certain parts of the day). Still, even with the crowds in the Magic Kingdom, there were quite a few quiet nooks of the park that were great to sit down for a break. Quieter Area On the other hand, Hollywood Studios was a LOT busier when we entered compared to the Magic Kingdom! The Halloween crowds extended all the way back from the entry booths towards the hub area, causing a bit of a wait to actually get inside the park. Hollywood Studios Crowds While it’s no surprise that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was the top pick for many guests visiting for Halloween, it was very busy with families and individuals ready to explore Batuu. Galaxy’s Edge Crowds Along with the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance, the queues extended elsewhere around Galaxy’s Edge at the dining locations and stores! However, when we passed Oga’s Cantina, they were accepting walk-ups (which is a pretty rare sight!). Crowded Marketplace Toy Story Land was also HOPPING today as many guests were excited to shrink to the size of a toy (as a little extra Halloween magic). However, we did see Slinky Dog Dash temporarily close at one point, even though it was one of the most visited rides of the day! Toy Story Land There were still a few quiet areas of Hollywood Studios, like Grand Avenue, so guests could chill out before heading back into the busier parts of the park! This area was still busier than we’ve seen in the past few days. Grand Avenue As we continue to make our way around Disney World throughout the holiday season, we’ll be sure to give you a look at everything you can expect in the parks!

The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, which runs on October 29th and 30th, is an event that coincides with EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival and features 20+ food stands and 100+ drink options. ©Disney Swan and Dolphin In the past, we’ve really enjoyed this event and we think it’s pretty underrated and definitely worth the price of admission and we loved the Food & Wine Classic: A Taste of Swan & Dolphin event from earlier this year. Today, we’re giving you our full review of this year’s event! How It Works In order to enter the event, you needed a ticket! You could grab a Causeway Ticket, which is $165 per person plus tax and gets you unlimited samples at the Causeway, which is the section that features a wide range of booths, as well as access to the Beer Garden! The Causeway You could also get an Overnight Ticket, which is $580 and includes a one-night stay for two at the Swan or Dolphin hotels, as well as two Causeway Tickets for both nights. Swan and Dolphin Resorts Let’s see how the event was! Atmosphere When you head to the Food & Wine Classic, be sure to grab a map! Not only will this help you find the extensive array of booths at the event… Two of our favorite drinks were the Brut from the France booth… The Brut! …and the Justin Sauvignon Blanc from California! The Sauvignon Blanc Those are some of the highlights from our night at the Swan and Dolphin’s Food & Wine Classic! Overall Overall, we really enjoyed our time at the Swan and Dolphin’s Food & Wine Classic! As with any other festival, there were highs and lows, but generally, the food was of a high caliber and very delicious. If you’re looking for an experience that’s a bit more upscale compared to EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, this is the place for you! If fine dining and fancy food festivals aren’t your thing, this might not be the one for you. If you’re adventurous when it comes to food and you want to try a bunch of new dishes, you should check out one of the future events at the Swan and Dolphin! This event is definitely worth the price of admission as long as you make the most of it. If you’re up to try lots of different food, beers, and wines, you’re going to have a great time and get your money’s worth! Otherwise, check out EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, it’s really good this year! We’re always keeping up with the latest Disney news, so stay tuned here for more!

Hello, DFB Friends! We had dynamite for breakfast We’re in that rare time of the year when Halloween is fading away and Christmas is taking over everything. We’ve already seen holiday decorations at Disney World, and we’ve even learned about some of the holiday snacks we can expect this year. But restaurant menus are also continuing to change at the resort, so we’re monitoring all that, too! Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside Riverside Mill Food Court Port Orleans — Riverside has officially reopened, and we’ve seen quite a few changes on the menus there! The first changes we noticed is that the Garden Salad at Riverside Mill Food Court has seen a hefty jump in price — from $3.99 to $8.99. Outside at Port Orleans Resort — Riverside The ingredients remain the same, so we’re only hoping that this is a larger portion size, given the big jump in price. See Photos of Port Orleans Resort — Riverside’s Reopening Scat Cat’s Club There are some items newly added on the Appetizers part of the menu at Scat Cat’s Club, including some New Orleans favorites: Loaded Potato Puffs — Crispy Potato Barrels with Pulled Pork and Beer Cheese Sauce for $11 Boudin Balls — a mix of Andouille Sausage, Smoked Sausage, and Dirty Rice Breaded and Fried, served with Rémoulade, Creole Mustard, and Pickled Vegetables for $13 Bayou Wings — Smoked Chicken Wings tossed in a Sweet-and-Spicy Barbecue Sauce served with Cajun Fries for $16 Scat Cat’s Club Mardi Gras Fritters — House-made Pimento Cheese Fritters with Pepper Jelly for $10 Po Boy Seafood Flatbread — Cheddar and Italian Cheese, Breaded Fried Shrimp and Oysters, Arugula, and Tomato drizzled with Rémoulade for $15 Here’s The One Restaurant That Didn’t Reopen With Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Landscape of Flavors Some seasonal items have been removed from the menu over at Landscape of Flavors. This includes the Roasted Salmon Dinner, Roasted Buttermilk Chicken, and Pot Roast. Landscape of Flavors Those are the only changes here — for now. Read Our Review of The THREE 50th Anniversary Snacks We Tried at Landscape of Flavors Disney’s Pop Century Resort Everything POP! Everything POP! also saw some changes to its seasonal offerings. Both Shrimp and Grits and Roasted Buttermilk Chicken were removed from the menu. Everything POP! Like Landscape of Flavors, though, this is the only change we’ve seen this week. Read Our Review of The Newest Cupcake at Everything Pop! Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Whispering Canyon Cafe A new and VERY interesting breakfast item has arrived at Whispering Canyon Cafe — Dynamite Cinnamon Roll Sticks. These are cinnamon rolls that are colored bright red to look like dynamite, which is perfectly on-brand for Wilderness Lodge! The wick of the “dynamite” is chocolate-covered bacon, which is topped with crushed red hot candies. And it’s served with a warm nut glaze on the side to drizzle over the cinnamon rolls. Dynamite Cinnamon Roll Sticks This over-the-top treat is available for $12, and they’re both delicious AND fun, so why not give them a try the next time you’re over there! Read Our Full Review of the Dynamite Cinnamon Roll Sticks Disney Springs Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar There have been a few beverage updates over at Jock Lindsey’s. Under “Signature Libations,” the Anything Goes cocktail has been removed. Anything Goes Under “Beer,” the Kirin Ichiban Lager is now gone along with a few selections under “Wines” — King Estate Pinot Gris and Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz. Jock Lindsey’s Confirmed To Go Straight Up Ugly Sweater Again This Christmas in Disney World! Find Out More Here Those are all the menu updates for this week, but we’ll be back soon with even more, so stay tuned! Read Our Review Of A Sandwich Covered in CHICKEN STRIPS at Disney World!
