One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do! Time to Dig in! And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT? There is a TON of great international food all across Disney World resort just waiting to be eaten! And if you’re needing ideas, we’ve put together a list to help you choose your next great meal! To quote Maui — you’re welcome! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom is one of the few places in the world where you can visit Africa and Asia without ever having to go to, well, Africa and Asia! Not only can you take a safari to see REAL animals, but you can also indulge in some pretty awesome food! We’ll start by recommending Harambe Market, where you can step into an East African marketplace and dine from various stations that include grilled meats, sausages, and bowls. Ribs & Chicken Bowl Over at Nomad Lounge, you can get some hand-crafted cocktails, some AMAZING South African wines, and beers, as well as small plates of yummy African, Indian, and Asian-inspired food, including a killer bread service and bowls…all without a reservation! Tiffin’s Bread Service If you’re wanting a full sit-down table service experience, though, Tiffins is right next door serving up some of the most unique African, Asian, and South American-inspired food you’ll find anywhere, including a Whole Fried Fish! It’s pricey but totally worth it! This is for those of you who are more adventurous eaters and want more of an upscale experience. When they say “Whole Fish,” they mean WHOLE fish! Finally, if Asian fusion cuisine is your thing, hop on over to Yak and Yeti Restaurant — you’ll get a chance to eat some yums like the Firecracker Shrimp, Pot Stickers, and Bhaktapur Duck. Click Here To See if Tiffins Is Still Worth Its Hefty Price Tag Magic Kingdom Sure, Magic Kingdom is all about fantasy, but you can still visit a few countries via food while you’re there! One of our favorite internationally-inspired food locations is Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen, which serves the food of explorers, meaning you’ll find meals inspired by Africa, Asia, and South America. FUN! Even better, your Coconut Curry Soup comes with a great story (ask your servers and they’ll tell you all about it!). Perkins Thai Noodles It’s all about the “Bonjour!” at Be Our Guest Restaurant, which literally transports you straight into the Beast’s castle from Beauty and the Beast. And of course, madames and monsieurs, that means your meal is inspired by France! So you can feast on French Onion Soup, Poulet Rouge Chicken, and Macarons. Mais oui! Lemon Macaron Looking for some great Tex Mex options? Hop on over to Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn and Cafe to munch on some nachos, fajita platters, and — yes — churros! NAAACHHHOOOS! We would be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the Bella Notte you can have at Tony’s Town Square. Tony’s Town Square Granted, this isn’t the BEST Italian food you’re ever going to have (even at Disney World), but the Lady and the Tramp theming is ON POINT. Read Our Review of The Most Instragrammable Cake at Disney World Disney’s Hollywood Studios You wouldn’t think you’d find international fare at Hollywood Studios, but guess what? There is one place that lets you eat around the world here and that’s Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano. The food here is only a step up from Tony’s, but it has its moments. Our biggest complaint is its inconsistency — we’ve had good meals here, and we’ve had just okay meals here. The last time we were there, we dug the Shrimp Campanelle. Shrimp Campanelle If you’re looking for out-of-this-world dining, though, there are some real gems in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge that let you live out your Star Wars fantasy and eat food from a galaxy far, far, away. (Yes, we know we’re talking international cuisine but….space food counts too, right?!) We’re BIG fans of the Ronto Wrap at Ronto Roasters. However, we’re just “meh” about the Blue and Green Milk from the Milk Stand — but it’s a MUST for Star Wars fans just to post a photo of yourself drinking blue or green milk in Batuu. This wrap might change your life Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo has a menu sure to please everyone (the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip here is surprisingly good), but also be sure to nab a reservation at Oga’s Cantina for drinks that are seriously far out — there’s a drink called a Fuzzy Tauntaun that will — quite literally — make your mouth go numb, and, well, it’s kind of awesome. Read Our Most Recent Review of Docking Bay 7 Disney Springs You want great international food — head on over to Disney Springs and you might find even more choices than you would find at EPCOT! If you’re looking for some interesting French-style crepes, Aristocrepes is a great (and quick!) place to drop by. Want some Spanish food? Hit up Jaleo, which has a lot of interesting tapas, paellas, and more! You can even get in touch with your inner Canadian with poutine from The Daily Poutine. Butter Chicken Poutine If Asian is your thing (including some great sushi), we can’t recommend Morimoto Asia enough (the place IS owned by an Iron Chef, after all). For Asian food on the go, check out Morimoto Street Food — grab some Bao buns to go! The YeSake kiosk also has some great quick Asian options, including Boba Tea! Spicy Chashu Ramen from Morimoto Asia Street Food Remember when we said there is much better Italian food to be had at Disney World than Tony’s (sorry, Tony’s!)? Well, Disney Springs is where it’s at! You can grab prohibition-style cocktails and some great Italian bites from Enzo’s Hideaway and Tunnel Bar. There’s also Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante for more classic Sicilian foods — try the Chicken Parm – it’s HUGE (making it easily shareable). Arancini Then there’s Terralina Crafted Italian, which feels like dining in an Italian home. Oh, and the food? We dig the Rigatoni Calabrese and the Chocolate Paradiso Cake (which does taste like paradise). And if you’re just wanting a tasty dessert, hop on over to Vivoli Il Gelato for some AMAZING gelato creations, including Italian donuts filled with gelato – say what? Seriously, these, called “Bombolato” are INCREDIBLE. Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato Craving some traditional Irish food and entertainment? Raglan Road has both — you can grab an Irish coffee, munch on a classic shepherd’s pie, and watch traditional Irish dancers and musicians doing their thing. It’s dinner and a show! But if you want to grab your Irish food to go, Cookes of Dublin has some fish and chips that always make our “best of” lists! Fish and chips! If you’re wanting to try out some traditional Mexican food, Frontera Cocina is worth a visit. Not only do they have some tasty and interesting margaritas (trust us, we know our margaritas!), but we could eat our weight in Flautas there. The margs here are very similar to the ones found in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion (the same teams craft the drinks!) so you can get EPCOT-level margs without a ticket! Click Here To See the NEW Totchos We Found at Disney World! Disney World Resorts Note: As of this writing, Jiko has not reopened. No EPCOT ticket? No problem! You can even get some great international flavors at Disney World resorts! Sure, Animal Kingdom Lodge has amazing African theming, but did you know it also has some of the best restaurants on property? And they’re all dedicated to African foods. Even the quick-service location there, The Mara, has a Marrakesh Falafel Platter, and, in the past, they’ve had bobotie, and potjie (African stew). Potjie, aka African stew, aka BOWL of flavor And if you haven’t already eaten at Boma, have you really eaten anything at Disney World? This buffet is full of African delights like Carrot Ginger Soup (we’re drooling just thinking about it), couscous, bobotie, Durban spiced chicken, and more. And this is where we first discovered the little balls of joy that are Zebra Domes made of mousse spiked with South African Amarula liqueur. Oh, and breakfast here is also unique — and GREAT. Expect loads of unique African takes on your favorite breakfast foods. Turkey Bobotie Want to watch animals while you dine? Come to Sanaa, where the food is really good, and the view is even better if you happen to get a spot by a window (ALL THE ANIMALS)! And, if you follow us regularly, you know we’re in love with the Bread Service here that comes with a variety of flavored flatbreads, along with NINE dipping sauces. ALL the food here is solid, but we especially love the Butter Chicken. Bread and sauces — you could seriously make a meal out of just this Finally, if you’re looking for a more signature dining experience, Jiko…The Cooking Place has an amazing menu made up of a fusion of African AND Indian foods. The atmosphere is full of details that reflect African culture, and the lighting changes throughout the evening to represent the shades of sunset — yeah, it’s seriously romantic! Some unique items are available here, too, like Wild Boar Tenderloin and Mrouzia-Style Moroccan Lamb Tagine. Also, get the Kids Macaroni and Cheese as a side — you can thank us later. Plus, Jiko boasts a HUGE African wine collection the likes of which you won’t find elsewhere! Grilled Wild Boar Tenderloin at Jiko If you’re STILL craving Italian food (we could eat ALL the pasta), Disney’s Boardwalk Inn has Trattoria al Forno. The food here got a serious makeover recently and we loved it! This restaurant DOES serve breakfast (it was a character meal pre-closure), but it’s predominantly American breakfast foods you can find elsewhere. Polpette Welcome to the Caribbean, where the food has an island flair, with just a hint of Latin flavor. We’re taking you over to Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, where you can nom on some Mojo Pork with Mango Sambal, Grilled Flank Steak with Mojito Relish, and more. It’s lots of approachable foods with a tropical twist. Grilled Flank Steak Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is where you’ll find some great Spanish food, starting with the Barcelona Lounge, where you can grab pastries in the morning and tapas at night! And there are even more tapas to indulge in at Toledo — Tapas, Steak & Seafood, that’s all about foods inspired by Spain. It’s not just tapas, though — you can try Savory Churros (yes, really!) and Golden Tilefish here. Savory Churros — no, really! But we’re not done with Coronado Springs just yet, because there’s also the Maya Grill, where it’s all about “Nuevo Latino Cuisine.” We’re talking Margaritas (oh, yeah), Empanadas, Chimichangas, and the like. Chicken Fajita Skillet Even Walt Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts has some great international food! If it’s Japanese food you’re craving, Kimonos at the Swan Resort could be just what you’re looking for. In fact, it’s one of our favorite places to grab sushi at Disney World! Sushi Platter from Kimonos But wait, because there’s ANOTHER Italian restaurant here you might want to try, too: Il Mulino New York Trattoria. This is actually one of the better Italian restaurants at Disney World, and if you have a hankering for some classics like gnocchi, amatriciana, and carbonara, GO HERE. Bucatini Amatriciana Even better, some of these restaurants now have the Mobile Order Table Service To Go option where you order through your phone, pick it up, and take it back to your hotel room to eat it in your pajamas. We covered a LOT of the restaurant options around Disney World with a more international flair, but definitely not all of them (umm…Hawaiian eats at the Polynesian Resort or SO much French and Italian-inspired food over at the Riviera Resort? Yes please!). But whatever you choose to eat, you’ll be able to dine around the world without ever having to go to EPCOT.

Happy Halloween everyone! It’s time to put up the decorations, plan your costumes, and get ready for the spookiest night of the year! Happy Halloween! Today we’ve got a new Halloween tutorial from Disney that’ll help you get in the spooky spirit! Disney shared tutorials on how to make three different Halloween buckets, perfect for filling up candy! The best part? They’re easy to make and themed after Frozen, Toy Story, and Star Wars. ©Disney Let’s get into it! Olaf from Frozen First off, we’ve got Olaf from Frozen! You can create a Halloween bucket to match your Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff costumes in just five steps! ©Disney What You’ll Need Pumpkin bucket White paint (acrylic and spray) Felt: orange, brown, light blue, black and white 1” googly eyes Black puffy paint Velcro Hot glue/glue gun Brown pipe cleaner Printed template ©Disney Directions Paint the pumpkin bucket white. Let dry for about four hours. Using the template and felt, trace and cut out the carrot nose, mouth, tooth, eye shapes and eyebrows. Hot glue the eyes onto the light blue round circles to create Olaf’s eyes. Glue the white tooth onto the mouth. Using puffy paint, draw the lines on the carrot nose. Add Velcro circles to the back of the eyes, nose and mouth. Place them onto the back side of the bucket (so that they don’t overlap the indentions of the original jack-o-lantern face). Glue on Olaf’s eyebrows. Twist a brown pipe cleaner to create Olaf’s branch hair and hot glue it to the back of the pumpkin. Toy Story Alien If you’re going to infinity and beyond this Halloween, the Alien Halloween Bucket is the one for you, here’s how to make it in seven steps! ©Disney What You’ll Need Pumpkin bucket Lime green and purple paint (acrylic and spray) Foam ring Lime green and black felt One 1.5” googly eye Two 1” googly eyes Hot glue/glue gun Black paint marker Printed template ©Disney Directions Paint the pumpkin bucket lime green. Let dry for about four hours. Paint the foam ring purple and let dry for about four hours. Using the template and felt, trace and cut out the eye shapes, ears and antenna. Hot glue the eyes onto the black felt circles. With a black paint marker, draw the mouth onto the dry pumpkin bucket. Use the back side of the bucket (so that you don’t paint over the indentions of the original jack-o-lantern face). Glue on the eyes (one large in the center and two smaller ones on each side), ears on the side, and antenna onto the top of the back of the pumpkin. Glue the pumpkin bucket onto the dry foam ring. The Death Star from Star Wars Finally, you can turn your Halloween bucket into the Death Star! Here’s how to make it in six steps. ©Disney What You’ll Need Pumpkin bucket Silver paint (acrylic and spray) Gray foam sheet Black and white paint pens Hot glue/glue gun Printed template ©Disney Directions Paint the pumpkin bucket silver. Let dry for about four hours. Using the template, trace and cut out the foam sheet rectangles and squares. Outline the foam squares and rectangles with black paint pen. Add dimension with the white paint pen. Using the template, cut out the circle and trace it onto the top center of the pumpkin with a black paint pen. Trace the smaller circle inside the larger circle and draw four lines through it to create the pie shapes. Use the white paint pen to add dimension. Using the black paint pen, draw a line halfway on the pumpkin bucket horizontally. Hot glue the foam pieces onto the pumpkin in your own pattern and have fun!

Hey there, DFB friends! What a week it has been with the Disney Genie. EPCOT October 19th was the debut of the Disney Genie service in Disney World and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind while we figure out all the bells and whistles of this new service. There was also some unexpected news and experiences around Disney World this week, so let’s get into it! Disney Genie+ Among many other Genie surprises was the 120-minute rule we discovered for the Disney Genie+ service. What’s that, you ask? Well, typically you can only book one Genie+ Lightning Lane at a time, but there is an exception to that. Once you book a Lightning Lane, you can’t book another one until you either use your existing Lightning Lane OR wait through a 120-minute cool-down. ©Disney || The message you’ll get if you try to book too early So, for example, if you book a Slinky Dog Dash Lightning Lane for 6PM at 11AM; you won’t be locked out of booking another Lightning Lane until the evening. Instead, once your 120-minute cool-down ends at 1PM, you’ll be able to book a SECOND Lightning Lane — while keeping your Slinky Dog Dash reservation. Note that if you book your first Lightning Lane before the park opens, your cool-down won’t kick in until the park opens. So, if Hollywood Studios opens at 9AM and you book your Slinky Dog pass at 7AM, you’ll need to wait until 11AM to book your second Lightning Lane. ©Disney Remember, this rule ONLY kicks in if you don’t use your first-booked Lightning Lane. This will likely only happen with mega-popular attractions like Slinky Dog Dash. In most cases, you’ll be able to book a Lightning Lane that you’ll use within two hours. Learn more about the new 120 minute rule here! Filming for Cosmic Rewind Filming has begun for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT! Disney recently announced that the highly anticipated ride would be opening sometime in 2022, but they have yet to release an official date. @JamesGunn via Twitter This indoor omnicoaster will be able to rotate 360 degrees so guests don’t miss any of the ride’s storyline. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Ride Vehicle We can’t wait to see what scenes they’ve filmed for the ride! We went INSIDE the Guardians of the Galaxy Ride. Read about our experience HERE! Rise of the Resistance Technical Issues We learned what happens when a ride closes down after you purchase Individual Attraction Selection, or pay-per-ride, when Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance closed not once but THRICE after we purchased an IAS Lightning Lane for $11. Disney’s official policy is that there are no modifications or cancellations allowed for Individual Attraction Selection, so when the ride temporarily went down we received an “experience redemption” pass good for one Rise of the Resistance Lightning Lane until the end of the day. Experience Redemption Pass A Cast Member let us know that if the ride never reopened, we would receive a refund. However, because Rise kept reopening and then closing, we continued to receive a replacement experience redemption pass good through the end of the day. One important thing we noted through this experience is that we were able to make another Individual Attraction Selection once receiving the experience redemption pass. Normally you are limited to two Individual Attraction Selections a day, so this allowed us to purchase a third! Rise of the Resistance broke down HOW many times?? Cost of Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection We discovered that Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection will actually cost more than we previously thought. We already knew that Genie+ would cost Disney World guests $15 per ticket per day, but we found that the total cost was $15.98 after tax. And when it came to Individual Attraction Selections, which currently range from $7 to $15 depending on the day and the ride, we were also charged tax. ©Disney While some people might argue that these hidden costs aren’t actually that much, if you have a strict budget unexpected costs can really add up! You might want to plan for your Genie+ daily cost to be almost $16, rather than $15. ALERT: Disney Genie+ and pay-per-ride will cost more than expected! 50th Anniversary Polynesian Collection A new 50th anniversary collection debuted at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! This collection is a tropical take on Disney World’s 50th anniversary, with a limited edition MagicBand, a Tiki button-up shirt, AND a matching dress. Time to get shopping We also saw a souvenir glass, a pin, and more. You can find this collection at Boutiki in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! Check out more photos of the 50th anniversary Polynesian collection here! And that’s all the unexpected news from this week! Keep checking back with DFB for more Disney World tips and tricks.

It’s so much fun checking out all the hidden details that Imagineers put into everything at Disney World. Hidden Mickey on the lawn at Disney’s Contemporary Resort We’ve seen everything from glowing pathways to little Remy figures in benches to LOADS of Hidden Mickeys. But today, we found a Hidden Mickey where we least expected it — IN OUR FOOD! We decided to take a break today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so we headed over to The Market to grab one of our favorite snacks, a Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num. While we sat down and enjoyed a little time off our feet, we noticed something odd about our cookie. Hmmm….do you see it? Our cookie had a Hidden Mickey on it! Three of the chocolate chunks in the cookie formed a Hidden Mickey. Although this (probably) wasn’t intentional, it just goes to show that there are Disney details EVERYWHERE. It’s all part of the Disney magic! Our cookie has a Hidden Mickey! So be sure to keep an eye on your food the next time you’re in Disney World because you never know when you might spot a Hidden Mickey. Or, if you’re like us…you’ll just arrange your dishes on the table into a Hidden Mickey. Spot the hidden Mickey? Oh, c’mon — we know we’re not the only ones who do that! We’ll take a Hidden Mickey any way we can get it because it always puts a smile on our face. Anyways, stay tuned, and we’ll share even more Hidden Mickeys with you, along with all the latest Disney news! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

We have a long wish list of Disney-inspired homes we would love to live in. We want to live in a castle! We loved the Haunted Mansion airbnb, as well as the California home designed by a Disney Imagineer and an actual castle of a home near Disney World. But we might have just found the most EPIC home of all — especially if you happen to be a Star Wars fan. Even better? This home is near Disney World — in Kissimmee, Florida! And this house looks pretty normal… ©Zillow …well, if you call 15 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms normal, that is. And some of the rooms don’t seem THAT spectacular (okay, well, they ARE pretty nice…but just wait…). ©Zillow Okay, so what’s so special about this home? Well, things start getting interesting when you start looking at some of the bedrooms, including this one that looks like a room of bunks in a spaceship straight out of Star Wars. ©Zillow Did we mention that this room has its own replica DROID FACTORY? ©Zillow One of the rooms features a life-sized Rey figure to watch over you while you sleep…. . ©Zillow How about this view that would please Queen Amidala? ©Zillow And Baby Yoda is just getting his zen on in the corner. ©Zillow Another area gives us serious Rise of the Resistance vibes! ©Zillow And — OF COURSE — there’s Han Solo in Carbonite — so THAT’S Where Jabba kept him. ©Zillow The details in this house are AMAZING. ©Zillow We wonder if the buttons on this console actually do anything. ©Zillow Imagine getting up in the middle of the night and having to face Darth Vader on the way to the bathroom! Also, CUE THE IMPERIAL MARCH MUSIC. But, seriously, we don’t think he’d be a great roommate… . ©Zillow So if you dream of living in the ultimate Star Wars house, this home could be yours for a cool $11.5 million (we never said it was cheap!). According to Zillow, the home is also equipped throughout for Laser Tag — no, REALLY! And if we spot any other cool Disney and Star Wars-inspired homes, we’ll let you know!

Howdy from Walt Disney World! Donald says hello! Disney Genie launched this week, along with Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections (pay per ride) which have replaced the old FastPass+ system. So, did Genie+ help control crowds any better? Or affect the wait times? Let’s find out! Here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week. Magic Kingdom Let’s head to Magic Kingdom! This week, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time with 63 minutes! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train After that, we had Jungle Cruise at 56 minutes, Peter Pan’s Flight at 50 minutes, Haunted Mansion at 43 minutes, Splash Mountain at 42 minutes, Space Mountain at 34 minutes, and Pirates of the Caribbean at 32 minutes.

Hall of Presidents, Liberty Square Riverboat, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse were all at 0 minutes.

Mission: SPACE Rides with even shorter wait times included The Seas with Nemo and Friends at 9 minutes, Living with the Land at 8 minutes, and Journey into Imagination at 7 minutes. Journey into Imagination with Figment The theater shows in EPCOT all had zero waits this past week! These included: Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China! Hollywood Studios Moving on to Hollywood Studios, Rise of the Resistance had the highest average wait time this week at 102 minutes. Rise of the Resistance After that, we had Slinky Dog Dash at 67 minutes, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 49 minutes, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith at 46 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 45 minutes, Tower of Terror at 41 minutes, and Toy Story Mania at 36 minutes.

It’s Tough to Be a Bug That’s your look at the average wait times around Walt Disney World this week. Overall Wait times did not really go up compared to last week, in fact, a lot of times went down! But, this could be due to the fact that crowds were lower this week than they have been recently, so we’ll keep an eye on how Genie+ is affecting lines.

Yesake in Disney Springs is a kiosk known for its global street food, fun build-your-own poke bowls, as well as cocktails and other drinks like boba tea. Yesake in Disney Springs Many of its mainstay dishes are pretty tasty, but its seasonal offerings can be hit or miss. However, one seasonal drink that we LOVED has returned this Fall! Today, Yesake announced that the Pumpkin Spice Boba Tea is back! The drink will be available from now until November 15th, making it the perfect compliment for the Fall. When we tried the drink way back in 2019, we really enjoyed it and thought it had a nice, balanced pumpkin spice flavor! Our only complaint was that we wanted more boba at the bottom of the drink, but besides that, we loved this one back then. We’ll be sure to check it out next time we’re in Disney Springs!

BoardWalk Bakery, located at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort, is known for yummy seasonal treats and classic Disney bakery fair! Boardwalk Bakery Since Halloween is about a week away, we headed over there to check out the Halloween goodies this year. We had to grab the Candy Corn Cupcake, Vampire Mickey Brownie, and the Pumpkin Macaroon, but we also spotted a classic Disney World treat at BoardWalk Bakery! You can now get the Mickey Cinnamon Roll for $6.49 at BoardWalk Bakery! We haven’t seen cinnamon rolls, let alone Mickey-shaped ones, at BoardWalk Bakery for a while now, so seeing cinnamon rolls at the bakery again is a welcome sight. And now, you can finally grab Mickey-shaped cinnamon rolls outside of the Disney World parks! A classic treat at a new spot! Our cinnamon roll was SO good. It reminded us of the cinnamon rolls we’ve grabbed at Creature Comforts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and it was much better than the dry version we’ve had in Magic Kingdom recently. The ears were our favorite, probably because of their size. There was not very much icing on the cinnamon roll (and if you know us, you know we love EXTRA icing), but it really didn’t need it! It was so cinnamon-y and gooey so it didn’t need a ton of icing since it was not dry. Pro tip: you can ask for a Cast Member to put this treat through the warmer for you, which we’d recommend! According to Cast Members at the bakery, this is currently the ONLY Disney World resort offering the Mickey Cinnamon Roll. So if you don’t want to trek all the way to Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom, head over to BoardWalk Bakery to get your Mickey-shaped cinnamon roll fix! There are also a TON of new Halloween treats at BoardWalk Bakery, including a Mickey Mouse Brownie, Pumpkin Pop Macaroon, and a Candy Corn Cupcake! Yum!

Disney World’s Genie feature is officially live in the parks now. Scanning our card to get in a Lightning Lane Guests can buy Genie+ for $15 per ticket, per day to skip the line for most Disney World rides. But the two most popular rides in each park have a separate fee to skip the line. These rides use Individual Attraction Selection (or Pay-Per-Ride), and the fees range in price from $7 to $15 right now. So how long would the wait have to be for you to pay to skip the line? We asked our readers, and here’s what you said. If you buy Genie+, you can make reservations to skip the line on most Disney World rides throughout the day, and they’re all included in the $15 per ticket, per day that you pay at the beginning of the day. But you can only skip the line on those Pay-Per-Ride attractions by paying an additional fee. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Lightning Lane Of course, you can always wait in standby for any Disney World ride, unless it’s using a virtual queue. Right now, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is the only Disney World ride with a virtual queue. The boarding pass for the virtual queue is also free, but spots are limited, and it can be a little tricky to use. Click Here to Learn How to Use the Virtual Queue for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure We asked our readers on Instagram how long the wait time would have to be for them to pay the extra fee on those popular rides, and we got a LOT of responses. Instagram Poll Probably the most popular response was 60 minutes or more. A lot of people said one hour was about their limit: “I can do an hour, but after that I will consider buying one.” Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Another reader said any ride that had a wait time “consistently over 60 minutes,” so they’d keep an eye on the times throughout the day and shell out the cash if it didn’t drop. Space Mountain Some people were willing to wait in standby a little longer before paying to skip the line. One person said “Over 2 hours, and it would have to be for a ride I couldn’t miss (like Rise of the Resistance or Flight of Passage).” Rise of the Resistance Several other people agree that it “depends on the ride.” One reader “would only buy for Rise of the Resistance, Flight of Passage, or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.” These rides were listed several times as ones that people would be more willing to pay for. Avatar Flight of Passage Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in particular was popular, since the only other way to get on is through the virtual queue. One reader said they’d pay “for the one with a boarding group that I don’t want to stress about.” It can be tough or stressful to get the boarding group (your spot in the virtual queue), so the Pay-Per-Ride might be a good back-up option for some families. So pretty! A lot of people said that it depends on the situation. One reader said “With two young kids? 40+ minutes.” And we saw that sentiment in other responses, like this one from another reader: “We have a toddler, so anything over 30 mins and I’m buying.” Lightning Lane sign at Frozen Ever After It might also depend on how many people are in your group. Pay-Per-Ride can get expensive fast when you’re buying passes for a lot of people. One reader said, “Anything over an hour probably, but I only have two people to pay for.” Expedition Everest For some readers, they thought the price was worth it for some rides no matter what. One reader said, “Making sure I get on the ride? Worth it.” Rise of the Resistance Others were adamant that no matter the wait time, they would not buy Pay-Per-Ride reservations. We had responses like “I wouldn’t ever,” “No limit; will never pay for lightning lanes,” and “Never going to pay for this.” Standby Line Sign In a poll on YouTube, we found that the responses to this same question — how long the wait has to be for you to pay to skip the line — were very even! “Over 60 Minutes,” “Over 120 Minutes,” and “Standby for me no matter what” all had the exact same percentage at 27% of respondents. “Over 90 minutes” had a little fewer, at 19%. YouTube Poll Results In general, we found that our readers are very split on this question. A lot of the responses showed that it depends on the situation. If people are traveling in a small group or with young kids, they might be more likely to buy Pay-Per-Ride reservations, even if the ride’s wait time isn’t super high. Other people will wait for much higher times before paying the extra fee to skip the line, or they will choose standby no matter what. So where do you stand on this question?

It’s almost Halloween, everyone! Boardwalk Bakery Spooky season has been happening in Disney World since early August, with Boo Bash After Hours events, a bunch of festive merchandise, and terrifyingly delicious treats. We’ve had more pumpkin than you can imagine, sweets inspired by classic horror monsters, drinks featuring all the fall flavors, and more. But, the fun isn’t over yet! There are some new food items that are just now being released for a limited time, including one over at Disney’s BoardWalk. Let’s see if it was worth the wait! This is the Macaroon Pumpkin Pop from BoardWalk Bakery at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. Orange dust? It’s a coconut macaroon pumpkin on a stick! For starters, that orange “dust” on the outside is actually orange-colored cocoa powder. Yes, it does get a little messy when it gets all over your fingers, but we don’t mind! This isn’t the first treat in Disney World that looks like it is covered in Cheeto dust — the Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwich from Disney’s Animal Kingdom had a similar look! It’s a pumpkin The top bit is green icing to make a cute stem. It’s a fun Halloween take on a classic snack (and if you don’t want the pumpkin macaroon, you can still get the regular chocolate-dipped ones here, too). Like the traditional macaroon, this is a delicious snack for coconut lovers (like us) and is sure to be a hit with Halloween fans. Coconut goodness This is ONLY available now through October 31st, AKA Halloween, so scurry on over to the BoardWalk to try it out for yourself for $4.29!

Club Cool recently re-opened in EPCOT with a whole new look! Club Cool is back! The store features Coca-Cola merchandise and a bunch of different soda flavors from around the world that are free to sample! And, don’t worry, the beloved Beverly soda is still available. But, did you know that you can get these soda flavors somewhere else in Disney World? Over in Disney Springs at the Coca-Cola Store, you can get FULL SIZES of any of the international sodas up at the Rooftop Beverage Bar! Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar So, instead of the small samples at Club Cool, you can grab a full size of your favorite! But, unlike Club Cool, these aren’t free. Fountain drinks here are $2.50 for a 16oz, $3.00 for a 20oz, and $3.25 for a 32oz (Pssst — you can also get cocktails up here!). Some of the choices! But, be aware that not ALL of the flavors from Club Cool are over here. Each location has exclusive offerings, even the locations in Las Vegas and Atalanta. The location in Disney Springs actually has TWICE the amount of international sodas compared to Club Cool! Here’s a look at every flavor they had last time we visited: Some very interesting flavors in there! So, as you can see, there are a few from Club Cool over here, but not all of them! The sodas currently offered at both locations include the infamous Beverly from Italy… This one haunts our nightmares …Smart Sour Plum from China (we think this tastes like BBQ sauce)… Will go great with some pulled pork! …and Sprite Cucumber from Russia, because it’s a big fan favorite! Refreshing deliciousness Flavors exclusive to the Disney Springs location are everything else on the list! Like Mazoe Blackberry from Malawi, Bonaqua Fruits Apple Pear from Germany, and Stoney Tangawizi from Tanzania… Have you tried any of these?! …Thums Up from India, Kist Strawberry from Panama, and Fanta Kolita from Costa Rica… These look tasty! …Bjare Lingonberry from Sweden and Inca Cola from Peru… Drink up! …and VegitaBeta from Japan and Delaware Punch from Honduras. VegitaBeta is apricot and passionfruit! And, flavors that are exclusive to Club Cool and are only available in sample sizes are Bon Bon Anglais from Madagascar… Bonbon Anglais …Country Club Merengue from the Dominican Republic… Country Club …Minute Maid Joy Apple Lychee from Korea… Joy Apple Lychee …Royal Wattamelon from the Philippines… Royal …and Viva Raspberry from Moldova. Viva Raspberry Since we love the Sprite Cucumber from Russia at Club Cool, we grabbed the full-size version at the Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Bar to keep us cool and refreshed! Cucumber Sprite for the win! So, if you reallllly love one of those 3 sodas that are at both Club Cool and the Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Bar, head on over to Disney Springs to get a full-sized version! Or, pay a visit if you want to try out, even more, fun international soda flavors. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney tips, info, and news. Click here to see more about Club Cool!

All Hallows Eve is quickly approaching! Boo to You! It seems like just yesterday we were trying all the new Halloween treats in Disney World, checking out the first night of Boo Bash, and scoping out all the spooky merch. But, we’re now a week away from Halloween, and even though we’ve already had a ton of devilishly delicious desserts, scary spirits, and frightfully fun food, there are even MORE festive treats popping up around Disney World. So, let’s find out if a returning Halloween treat is as good as it was last year! Say “BOO!” to the Candy Corn Cupcake from BoardWalk Bakery at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. This is a vanilla cupcake filled with white chocolate candy corn mousse and topped with baker’s cream. If you’re not familiar, baker’s cream is pretty much just vanilla-flavored whipped cream, which was dyed to look like candy corn! It’s so cute! As with most cupcakes in Disney World, the icing was piled high on this little guy and topped with two little chocolate Mickey ears. We ended up trying this cupcake twice because our first cupcake was a little too moist and wobbly. The second cupcake had a perfect consistency, so we’re thinking we just got a weird one the first time. Both were delicious, though! New year, (pretty much) same cupcake We actually tried the same cupcake last year at BoardWalk Bakery, and the wonky googly eyes on our ghost made us giggle! You good, dude? This year’s cupcake was really good — even if you’re not a huge fan of candy corn! The filling is made with whole pieces of candy corn, and the edges are topped with crispy pearls. Overall, we thought this cupcake was a win! Candy Corny Cupcake If you want to try out this cupcake for yourself, you can get it for $5.99 at BoardWalk Bakery. But, you better hurry, because it’s only available until Halloween — October 31st! Stay tuned to DFB as we keep you updated on all things Halloween at Disney World.

Holiday decorations might be up in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but we’re also still celebrating Halloween in Disney World! There’s a Whole Pumpkin Castle! We’ve tried all kinds of Halloween snacks, checked out the Halloween merchandise, and stopped by Disney’s NEW After Hours Boo Bash event. But now, it’s time to make our way over to one particular snack spot to try a classic treat that’s received a Halloween-themed makeover! Love chocolate? Love Mickey Mouse? Love Halloween? Then one Disney World treat might be perfect for you — the Vampire Mickey Brownie! We found it over at BoardWalk Bakery on the Disney BoardWalk. Look at those FANGS! This treat is made of a ganache-covered brownie with Mickey ears and vampire fangs! Can you go wrong with a classic chocolate brownie? We’ve seen vampire Mickey brownies offered in Disney World in the past, specifically over at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. But, we were excited to see this year’s special version over at the BoardWalk. The vampire version of the BoardWalk Bakery’s normal Mickey Brownie is just as tasty as ever! This isn’t new, but we aren’t complaining! In terms of looks, we think this treat gets pretty good marks. It’s simple, but the Mickey ears and vampire fangs make it absolutely adorable. But, just how does it taste? We’re happy to report that the new(ish) Mickey brownie is very rich and chocolatey — perfect for chocolate fans! It tastes the exact same as the regular Mickey brownie offered here, but it now has adorable Vampire teeth! That’s a nice, chocolatey center If you want to try this Vampire Mickey Brownie, you can stop by the BoardWalk Bakery right now through October 31st to give it a try for $4.79.

Space 220 has officially been open for a little while now in EPCOT, but it is still one of the newest restaurants to hit the food scene in Disney World. Space 220 We’ve shared a look inside this space, cool details to spot here, and full reviews of lunch, dinner, and the lounge. We literally ate EVERYTHING on all 3 menus, so yeah, we’ve reallllly explored all that Space 220 has to offer. If you’re planning to take the elevator to space, you might be wondering what items there are the very BEST of the BEST. So, we thought back on all of our previous rankings and brought to mind those tasty flavors to bring you our list of the 3 very BEST things you can get at Space 220! Before we get into our list we do want to mention that Space 220 offers a prix fixe menu of 2 courses at lunch and 3 courses at dinner for adults. The lounge has its own separate menu of unique items that can be purchased individually. Our understanding is that you can also get the Prix Fixe menu at the lounge. Be sure to check with your server to see if this is the case when you visit. At lunch, the prix fixe menu includes your choice of 1 appetizer and 1 entree, while dinner includes 1 appetizer, 1 entree, and 1 dessert. Space 220 Lunch Menu Space 220 also has sides that can be ordered in addition to your meal and “Space Station Specials/Supplementals” that are also an additional cost. Space 220 menu While many of the items are similar across both the lunch and dinner menus, the Space Station Specials differ across the meals, and there are some other items that you’ll only find either at lunch or dinner. Space 220 We’ll identify below whether the items are lunch-exclusive, dinner-exclusive, or available at both. But, the fact that some of these might be exclusive to one time or another is something you’ll want to keep in mind when deciding WHEN to visit Space 220. And with that introduction out of the way, we now present to you the 3 BEST things (in no particular order) you can get at Space 220. 1 –Blue Moon Cauliflower First up, we have one item that was a MASSIVE hit with our DFB reporters — the Blue Moon Cauliflower! This item is made of Tempura Fried Cauliflower, Housemade Hot Sauce, and Blue Cheese Dust. It is available as an appetizer on the lunch and dinner menus, and it is also an item you can get individually at the lounge. Blue Moon Cauliflower Essentially, what you’re getting are delicious little morsels of fried cauliflower, topped with hot sauce and what is essentially freeze-dried blue cheese crumbles! Ummm, YES! A thousand times yes!! Blue Moon Cauliflower This dish was incredibly good. No joke, our reporters who got to try this dish totally devoured it! It had a perfect amount of crunchiness. Mix that with the hot sauce and blue cheese and you’ve got a total win. Blue Moon Cauliflower Now, if you absolutely HATE cauliflower, this might not be an ideal choice for you. But, if you’re a fan of fried foods, hot sauce, and blue cheese (and the taste of cauliflower doesn’t absolutely repulse you), then we seriously think this is one of the BEST things you can get at Space 220. 2 — 8oz Filet Mignon Next up, we’ve got the 8oz Filet Mignon. This item is exclusive to the dinner menu. The dish features an 8oz Filet Mignon, which comes with Cabernet Butter, Potato Leek Croquette, and Haricot Vert. If you want to add on more items to this dish, for an additional $10 you can add Shrimp to this dish, or for an additional $15 you can add a Half Lobster. 8oz Filet Mignon Now, we’ll fully admit that pink stuff plopped on top of the steak sort-of looks like…well, brains. BUT, do not fear! This is most certainly not zombie food because that pinkish stuff is actually the Cabernet Butter! This dish was one that truly made us stop in our tracks. We had to take a moment to collect ourselves after eating it. It was also our favorite entree when it came to dinnertime. The filet mignon itself melted in your mouth and the Cabernet Butter made everything so much tastier. 8oz Filet Mignon from Space 220 We’re not saying that you no longer have to grab a steak at Le Cellier. If you’re looking for steak and steak alone, the Canada Pavilion is still a place to visit. BUT, this 8oz filet mignon, combined with the rest of the prix fixe menu, was a total hit for us! Filet It’s also a pretty good bang for your buck in terms of portion size. The potato croquette it’s served with was also delightful! Overall, this dish is (in our opinion) the best entree you can get at dinner and one of the best things you can get at Space 220 period. 3 — 1.5 lbs Baked Whole Lobster Stuffed with Jumbo Crab Lastly, we have the 1.5 lbs Baked Whole Lobster Stuffed with Jumbo Crab. It is truly just as it sounds — a whole lobster stuffed with jumbo crab. And it is served with Roasted Corn, Broccolini, and Mornay Sauce. This dish is a Space Station Supplemental dish you’ll only find on the dinner menu. It is an additional cost of $20. That means you still have to pay for and order from the traditional prix fixe menu at dinner ($79.00) and then order/pay for this as an addition. Baked Whole Lobster Stuffed with Jumbo Crab from Space 220 If a 1.5 lbs Baked Whole Lobster Stuffed with Jumbo Crab sounds like a lot to you, you’d be right. This dish was HUGE and absolutely delicious! Yes, it is a $20 upcharge, but we felt like that was actually a fairly good value, especially considering the fact that the New England Lobster Roll in the lounge (which is considerably smaller) is priced at $34. Baked Whole Lobster Stuffed with Jumbo Crab The lobster came with a hearty pour of garlic butter that soaked right into the crab and lobster meats — absolutely, 100% yes. So Much Deliciousness We think you might actually be surprised at just how good this item is. Of all of the items that come with an upcharge at dinner, we think this one is worth it the most. And, overall, we think it’s one of the BEST things you can eat at Space 220 (and we’d know — we ate EVERYTHING on the lunch, dinner, and lounge menus). Dinner Spread So that’s our list of the top 3 things you can get at Space 220! Which of these would you want to try? Which would you skip? Tell us in the comments!

Haunted Mansion Holiday is a classic seasonal overlay at Disneyland that features the characters of Nightmare Before Christmas taking over the Haunted Mansion. Haunted Mansion Holiday is here!!! If riding the beloved attraction with this overlay wasn’t enough, we tried a new treat based on the classic overlay! Over at French Market in New Orleans Square, you can find the Haunted Mansion Holiday Wreath Cookie, which features a Sugar Cookie, Strawberry, White Chocolate, and a Mint Frosted Cereal Wreath. This one is available for $7.49! At first glance, the cookie is pretty spooky…but also kind of cute? What do you think? The Wreath Cookie! As far as taste goes, the cookie is super sweet! The cereal wreath had a nice minty flavor with some sweetness, while the strawberry center was WAY too sweet for us and overshadowed the flavor of the white chocolate. The sugar cookie was your standard Disney sugar cookie and wasn’t particularly dazzling. Spooky! One fun detail was that the cookie was based on the wreath in the center of this year’s Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House, a tradition that is celebrating its 20 year anniversary! Overall, this snack had a fun look and was interesting to eat, but the sweetness of the strawberry stopped this cookie from being something we’d want to eat again. ©Disney We’re always keeping up with the latest Disney news, so stay tuned here for more!

Tucked away in an unassuming little building in Disney Springs, Gideon’s Bakehouse bakes some of our FAVORITE cookies and desserts in Disney World! The bakehouse may not seem crowded, but there’s typically a long virtual wait just to get inside! Talk about exclusive! Gideon’s Bakehouse Now, our favorite place to grab a specialty cookie has a new *super* limited-time snack, and it’s made with our favorite fall flavor: pumpkin! So what’s the deal with this little bakery and their newest treat? Let’s find out! It’s no secret that our readers (and our reporters) love a tiny, tasty, layered cake. How could you not?! Gideon’s version of a mini cake is called a Shadow Cake (spooky!), and the newest Shadow Cake is Vanilla Pumpkin flavored! The cake is made with two layers of vanilla cake with a pumpkin buttercream center…YUM!

Inside Mephestophelittle’s Snack Cake Sounds amazing, right? Well, there’s a catch: the Vanilla Pumpkin Shadow Cakes are only available this weekend, October 23rd and 24th!
