Now that Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (Pay-Per-Ride) have launched in Disney World, there are more ways than ever to get on attractions. Flight of Passage Queue You can use the standby line, or you can pay for Genie+ to skip the lines on certain attractions, or you can pay a separate fee for the most popular attractions to skip the lines there. But one more option is still available in the Disney World parks! Single rider lines are still available in Disney World. We stopped by Expedition Everest in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check on the single rider line there, and it was still open. Expedition Everest Single Rider Line Expedition Everest is one of the pay-per-ride attractions at Animal Kingdom ($7 per person today), but we only saw a couple of people use a Lightning Lane reservation while we were there. When we rode this morning, the posted wait time for standby was 10 minutes, and a single rider wait time was 0 minutes. So we could walk on as a single rider! We waited in the standby line, and it actually only took about 4 minutes to get on the ride. Expedition Everest We also noticed that single rider lines were available at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and the single rider line remains separate from the normal line even after the pre-show, although the Lightning Lane merges with the normal line right before the pre-show. It took us 50 minutes to ride, from when we got in the single rider line to when we got off the ride. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Single Rider Line Single rider lines were also still open at Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run (which took us about 11 minutes total with single rider line)… Single Rider Sign …and Test Track. Test Track Single Rider Line We’ll keep an eye out for more standby lines around Disney World. Just remember, this is still an option if you are hoping to shorten your wait without Individual Attraction Selections or Genie+. Sometimes you may wait longer than you hoped for, but in some cases, the single rider line really pays off! Keep following DFB for more updates and info on the new Genie systems in Disney World.

The day has officially arrived — Disney Genie has made its debut in Disney World. And, of course, we’re giving you a look at how Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection is changing the game when it comes to your visit. Genie ©Disney If you’re still not entirely sure what Disney Genie is, don’t worry. There are two versions of the new mobile feature: one is a planning tool that’s entirely free to guests, and another is the paid Genie+ feature, which is the replacement for FastPass. We’re here to break down everything happening with Disney Genie, and right now we’re giving you a full look at how to use the new free service! Disney Genie isn’t like other mobile features we’ve seen in the Disney Parks before. It allows guests to access a multitude of planning tools all in one place. These tools are FREE to everyone, and some of them include accessing hotel and dining reservations, using Mobile Order, checking live wait times for attractions, seeing suggestions for rides and entertainment, and more. Let’s take a full look at EVERYTHING you can find on the free Disney Genie. First, you’ll need to get to the Genie. You probably already have the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone, but if you don’t, go ahead and download that. If you do have it, make sure you’ve updated it recently so that all the Genie features appear. Planning Tools The Disney Genie is a planning tool that’s meant to help you make the most of your day. Before you head to the parks (or even while you’re there), you can enter in your preferences and interests, and the Genie will give you recommendations for activities, dining, and rides in the parks. ©Disney You don’t have to follow this itinerary, but it’ll give you suggestions throughout the day based on your activities and interests. ©Disney Entering Your Preferences To enter your preferences, head to the Genie section of the My Disney Experience app (click the three horizontal lines at the bottom and select “My Disney Genie Day”). Then find the recommended activity to “Get a Jump On Your Park Day!” ©Disney Click “I’m Ready” and then “Start Now.” You’ll need to have your ticket and park pass reservation linked to your My Disney Experience account in order to use this. If they’re not already linked, you’ll be prompted to link them here. ©Disney The Genie will ask you about preferences and interests, and you can make selections based on what you’d like to do in the parks. There’s a section to choose your top picks for attractions… ©Disney …dining, and extras. ©Disney You can add more preferences with “My Interests,” which is a less specific way of showing your preferences. So if you don’t have a particular attraction or restaurant in mind, you can make broad selections like “Character Dining…” ©Disney …or a type of ride such as “Thrill Rides.” ©Disney If you try to select all of the things, the Genie will give you a “Wish Overload” error message. ©Disney Recommended Itinerary Once you’ve made your selections, you can return to the Genie page to see the recommended itinerary. On the “My Day” section, the Genie will give you suggestions for attractions, dining, and other activities. You’ll be able to see wait times here, as well as a recommendation for when you should visit. You can click on “Why This” to see why Genie chose this suggestion for you. ©Disney Under the Tip Board, you’ll see your top picks for attractions in the park. The ride wait times are also listed here, and you can check out the forecasted wait time to find the best time to ride. (More on that in a second!) ©Disney And that’s how the Genie creates your personalized itinerary! Genie Suggestions Throughout the day, you’ll get suggestions from the Genie for the best ways to fill your time. For instance, we had a boarding pass for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure around park opening time this morning and a reserved Lightning Lane at Test Track a little later in the morning. The Genie gave us a suggestion for how to fill our time in between the two. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure We went on Remy’s right at the start of our boarding pass time, and when we got off, the Genie noticed that we had some extra time before our Test Track reservation. So it suggested we head to Frozen Ever After while we waited because the wait time was low at this ride. ©Disney The posted wait time was actually 60 minutes at Frozen Ever After. We could still fit it into our schedule, but we don’t really consider that a “low” wait time. However, we actually got through the standby line and onto the ride in only about 28 minutes. So in this case. it seemed like the Disney Genie knew what it was talking about! Although the wait time was high when we started, the forecasted wait time must have been lower, so the Genie recommended it as low. Remember that this can be a great tool to help with planning, but you definitely don’t have to do all the recommended activities. Let’s see what else is available with the free version of Genie. Dining (Including Mobile Order) Dining is a very important part of being in Disney World. The Disney Genie has a convenient list of restaurants in the parks, along with some helpful tools for them. Here’s how to use them: Skipper Canteen Once you’re on the My Disney Experience app, you can click the three little lines in the bottom right-hand corner and then select “Tip Board” to see the Genie features. ©Disney Under the park name and date, there are two options for this board: Experiences and Dining. Let’s take a look at the dining! ©Disney Here, you can see all the restaurants that are available in the park you’re visiting. ©Disney For table service (sit-down) restaurants, you can see which ones still have reservations available. Some of the restaurants may be greyed out and say “No More Times Available.” ©Disney You can make dining reservations for the ones that say “Accepting Reservations.” First, click on the restaurant that you’d like to visit, and then select a time for your reservation. ©Disney You’ll select the number of guests for the reservation and confirm your choice. Hit “Book Now,” and your reservation is complete! For quick service (fast food-style) restaurants, you can see the options to Mobile Order on the Tip Board. (Note that you can still Mobile Order without Genie at all by clicking the plus button at the bottom of the screen on the app’s home page and hitting “order food.”) But if you do choose to use the Genie, head to the Genie section and take a look at what’s available under “Dining.” ©Disney The times are listed for the next arrival window, which is the soonest that you’d be able to get your food from those restaurants. You can click on that time, and it’ll take you to the menu for that restaurant. ©Disney Go ahead and make your selections by clicking on the menu items you’d like to order. ©Disney When you’ve finished, click “View My Order.” You can review the order summary and then check out using the card on your My Disney Experience account. ©Disney Once your order is complete, you’ll just wait until it’s the arrival window time, head to the restaurant, click “I’m Here” in the app, and then head in to pick up your food. Look for the Mobile Order Pick-Up signs! So essentially Mobile Order works the same as it always has in the app, but you can now see all the restaurants on your Tip Board with the Genie feature. Wait Times One of the best features of the new Genie is the forecasted wait times. If you head to the Genie page on the app, click on the Tip Board option, which will show you the rides and attractions in the park you’re visiting. ©Disney You can click on a ride’s wait time (the Standby Line button)… ©Disney …and the Genie will show you an estimate of future wait times for that ride. ©Disney The actual wait times do not appear, but the bars show when it’s expected to be higher or lower. So if we wanted to ride Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, we could plan on visiting earlier in the day (before 10AM) or later (after 4PM) for the lowest projected wait times. ©Disney This can be helpful when you’re planning your day so that you don’t wait a long time for a ride that might have a lower wait time later on! Keep in mind that these are just estimated times, and they’re subject to change throughout the day. You can also access virtual queues through the Genie, by clicking on the ride that uses the virtual queue (just Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in Disney World). Choose the virtual queue option, and hit “Join Now” (at the boarding group release times). ©Disney Confirm your party, hit “Continue,” and confirm your reservation. ©Disney The virtual queue process is the same as it has been in the past, but now you can get to it through the Genie Tip Board. As we continue to make our way around the parks during Disney Genie’s debut, be sure to keep up with us for all the details you need to know!

It’s Disney Genie day, everyone! And, we are giving you a FULL look at how the new planning tool is changing Disney World moving forward. ©Disney So far, we’ve shared a first look at how to buy Genie+, Individual Attraction Selection, and an unexpected cost. But, we’ve got yet another Disney Genie feature you’ll want to see before your next trip to Disney World! Disney detailed that the paid Disney Genie+ service would include perks, like exclusive Disney PhotoPass Lenses. And, now that Genie has debuted in the parks, we’ve got a look at these augmented reality lenses available to guests! First, there’s a lens that celebrates the 50th anniversary and covers you in gold sparkles, some of which are Mickey-shaped! Happy 50th! There’s also a lens with Mickey-shaped bubbles! Life is the bubbles Or, you can become a Mickey-shaped bubble by tapping on the screen. Oh, boy! Another fun lens is the collage! Tap on each square to take a different photo. Check out Cinderella Castle in the background For a little more color, check out the neon lens with Minnie and Mickey! Is this giving anyone else Disney Channel vibes? You can also have your very own Lady and the Tramp moment with the spaghetti and meatballs lens! Bon appétit! And, the filters aren’t just for humans — your four-legged friends can recreate the movie, too! Cuteness overload!! Of course, we also have the Genie! You can actually remove parts of this filter like the beard and the ponytail. You ain’t never had a friend like me And, there are lenses that you can use facing away from you, like this constellation lens that you point at the sky. We saw a Simba constellation… A Mufasa moment for Simba …and a Buzz Lightyear constellation! To Infinity, and Beyond! But, the cool thing is that it’s actually a 360 degree filter, so if you go outside and point it up at the sky, you can see a bunch of different moving constellations as you rotate around. And, it has music to go along with the filter, too! But, perhaps our FAVORITE Disney PhotoPass Lens is the Birthday Cake Lens from Disney World’s previous 25th anniversary celebrations! Oh, birthday cake castle, we missed ya (kind of) It’s important to note that many of these Disney PhotoPass Lenses are available to use around the Disney World property. But, some of them will only be available in specific parts of the park, like one over at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT’s France Pavilion. ©Disney A few of the Disney PhotoPass Lenses will also be available for up to 45 days after your visit with your purchase of Disney Genie+.

If you thought waking up at 7AM to get a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance (back when the ride only used boarding groups) or (more recently) Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure was stressful, GET READY. Magic Kingdom Recently, Disney World launched its NEW Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection Services — the last 2 essentially serving as paid replacements for FastPass+. And on the launch day for these new services, 7AM became a whole other ball game. As a quick recap, Disney Genie is a FREE planning service that helps you optimize your day in the parks. Genie+ is essentially a paid FastPass+ replacement service that allows you to select a return time to ride an attraction using that ride’s Lightning Lane (the old FastPass+ lane). These return times can be selected one at a time throughout the day (with some exceptions). ©Disney Individual Attraction Selection is available for select, highly popular rides — and through this service you essentially pay individually to use a single ride’s Lightning Lane. You can get a maximum of 2 Lightning Lane selections per day. Click here to see more information you should know before using the Genie+ service! Now, you might be wondering, why is 7AM such a big deal when it comes to Genie+? Well, it’s a big deal for 2 reasons. First, when it comes to Genie+, guests can start selecting their first Lightning Lane arrival time starting at 7AM each morning. ©Disney Second, when it comes to Individual Attraction Selection, guests can typically make their first purchases when the park opens. BUT, if you’re staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts, or Shades of Green, you can make your first Individual Attraction Selection purchase ALSO at 7AM. ©Disney OH, and if on top of Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections, you’re trying to get a boarding group for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the virtual queue sign-up for that ride ALSO starts at 7AM. That’s 3 big things all happening at the exact same time. This morning, we were testing out Genie+ and its related services, and we logged into our My Disney Experience account just before 7AM to see how things would play out. Genie+ ©Disney There were a few complications this morning, but overall things actually weren’t too terrible. One big thing to note is that at 7AM, the app didn’t seem to automatically refresh. So, if you’ll be booking those Lightning Lane selections or purchasing pay-per-ride options right at 7AM, be sure to manually refresh the page! ©Disney Right at around 7AM, one of our reporters tackled getting a virtual queue position for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and they were able to get a group. Next, that same reporter worked on getting a pay-per-ride selection for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and they were able to get that selection for 10:10 AM ET, which was the first time available when they looked. This will cost ya to skip the standby line! Right after, they picked their first Genie+ Lightning Lane selection and went with Test Track for 11:15 AM ET. Lastly, they looked through the app and booked Rise of the Resistance as their second pay-per-ride selection. While this reporter had a LOT of things to do all at 7AM — virtual queue, Genie+ lightning lane selection, and 2 pay-per-ride selections — they were actually able to get it all done fairly easily. ©Disney But, there are some important things to note about this reporter. They came into 7AM well prepared. They had bought Genie+ ahead of the 7AM time frame (they purchased it around midnight on the day of their visit), and had already told Genie their interests, what they wanted to do for the day, etc. They also made sure their My Disney Experience app was fully updated, ensured their tickets and park passes were all properly linked and set up, and logged into their account ahead of time. You’ll also want to make sure you’ve already got a payment method saved in My Disney Experience to help make things easier. When it comes to Genie, being prepared can really help things go smoothly. Telling Genie Your Interests ©Disney Another big thing to keep in mind is that finding those pay-per-ride selections can be tricky. Many of our reporters noted that to buy these pay-per-ride selections, they had to go to the “Tip Board” section in Genie, select the park where the ride is located, and then scroll down to the attraction. Once you’re at the attraction, you’ll see the “Purchase for $XX” option, and you can click on that to select it and make your purchase. That’s not necessarily as intuitive when you’re tapping away at 7AM, so it’s something to be aware of. ©Disney Also, be mindful of those Genie+ and pay-per-ride return times because they can fill up FAST! Right at 7AM, one reporter was able to get a Genie+ Lightning Lane return time for Slinky Dog Dash, but the first return time wasn’t until much later in the afternoon — around 4-5PM! Just a few hours later into the morning, pay-per-ride selections for Rise of the Resistance also filled up. ©Disney While it was smooth sailing for some of our reporters, others experienced a few issues. One couldn’t get the pay-per-ride option for Frozen Ever After to populate for them. To fix that, one reporter said they had to search for the ride itself, go to the page for the ride in My Disney Experience, and then select the “LL” (lightning lane sign) and purchase it from there. Another reporter attempted to do this but encountered an error. They were later able to book that reservation as it popped up in a separate search, so just be aware that you might encounter some bumps along the way. If you do encounter an issue, try searching for the ride’s individual page and selecting the “LL” to purchase from there, or try looking through the Tip Board for the ride you want to buy the pay-per-ride selection for and see if you can purchase it from there. ©Disney Another good thing to note is that if you’re park hopping, Genie won’t let you buy a pay-per-ride selection for a ride that’s NOT at the park you have a park pass for (a.k.a. the park you’ll be hopping to) for any return time sooner than 2PM. That makes sense since park hopping doesn’t start until 2PM, but we just wanted to note that here. So, it seems your 7AM wakeup call just got a little bit more hectic. We’ll be continuing to test out Genie+ so we can give you all of the tips and tricks you’ll need to master the service during your next trip. Be sure to stay tuned for more!

As the Genie once said (or sang), “You got some power in your corner now”: Disney Genie+ has arrived in Disney World. Between Disney’s two new paid services, Individual Attraction Selection (IAS or pay-per-ride) and Genie+, guests can now skip the lines at many of their favorite attractions and let Disney’s Genie service plan their day. ©Disney After a long period of speculation and waiting, we were finally able to test out Disney’s new paid FastPass+ replacement systems today! One important thing to note is that there is a limited number of Individual Attraction Selections available per day and they can sell out. So the question is: how quickly did the first Individual Attraction Selection option sell out today? With the Individual Attraction Selection system, you can pay to skip the lines at individual, select highly popular attractions. You can only buy a maximum of 2 Individual Attraction Selection options per day. You will be given a return time with a window of 1 hour to ride the attraction. You can pay to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure with an IAS Each park in Disney World currently offers two attractions that can be purchased through an Individual Attraction Selection. Again, as a reminder, these rides are NOT included in the standard Genie+ service (the one where you pay $15 per ticket per day to access Lightning Lane selections for over 40 rides in Disney World). Also, keep in mind that the prices on these pay-per-ride selections vary and can continue to change depending on the park, ride, and day. Click here to see HOW to purchase Disney’s pay-per-ride options. As we previously mentioned, attractions can sell out within the pay-per-ride system, meaning you might not be able to pay to ride one of Disney’s popular attractions! By around 10:00AM ET, the pay-per-ride selections for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios had sold out! Previously, Genie+ had been showing available times to book a pay-per-ride selection. ©Disney But, by 10:00AM ET, it showed that the Individual Lightning Lane purchase option was showing as “not currently offered.” ©Disney We spoke to a Cast Member in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that noted the pay-per-ride option was closed at the moment. The Cast Member said that they hoped more pay-per-ride return times would be released later in the day, but couldn’t guarantee that would happen. The Cast Member said that if additional times release, it could be around 1 or 2PM. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on that. Keep in mind that even if the Lightning Lane is unavailable, guests can still ride Rise of the Resistance through the regular standby line at the moment. Rise of the Resistance Lightning Lane The time of year and crowd level will likely determine whether or not Individual Attraction Selections will sell out on any given day. It all depends on the demand! We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney Genie information and tips, so stay tuned for more. Click here to see more about our experience using Genie+ today!

Sometimes you just wanna chow down on hearty, cheesy, carby, Italian food, ammiright? Terralina Crafted Italian Guess we better head on over to Disney World to review a few Italian bites! We’re headed to Terralina Crafted Italian in Disney Springs to try out some fare created by James Beard Award Winner Chef Tony Mantuano. Plus, we can check out some of the current safety measures and changes. Let’s DIVE in! Terralina Crafted Italian is located in The Landing at Disney Springs right on the water. This table-service spot has indoor and outdoor dining. Get ready for a menu of Italian favorites, and you know what that means…CHEESE (duh, of course we ordered cheese.)! Terralina Crafted Italian We’ve had pleasant experiences with the food, atmosphere, and service here in the past, but admittedly, this isn’t always the first spot on our list when visiting Springs (there ARE about 5000 food options there!). With so many other options (including a number of dedicated Italian eateries), how does it compare? Let’s see! Atmosphere Terralina Crafted Italian is a more casual dining spot that’s designed to look like Italy’s famed Lake District (you know, the picturesque area of the world people like George Clooney choose to have huge houses and hang out near cause it’s gooorgeous). Terralina Crafted Italian Inside there are lots of European details and a little waiting area with a fireplace and some candles. Terralina Crafted Italian Guest can check-in at the host stand. Terralina Crafted Italian Terralina has a pretty large dining room with separate areas. But, there’s still a lot of open space! This location doesn’t look as expansive from the outside as it is once you’re in — it’s a big restaurant! Terralina Crafted Italian On our visit, tables were distanced to make sure that guests had plenty of space between one another. Terralina Crafted Italian Looking for a drink? Terralina has an indoor bar you can sadle up to. Terralina Crafted Italian But all the seating isn’t confined to the indoors! Terralina Crafted Italian also has an outdoor bar. Terralina Crafted Italian Bonus! You can walk right up to this spot if you’re spending the day in Disney Springs! Terralina Crafted Italian The pretty Italian design continues into this area! Terralina Crafted Italian The outdoor dining option also has outdoor veranda seating that wraps around the side of the restaurant. Terralina Crafted Italian The veranda is right on the water which makes for a pretty seat but beware of birds! This was where we were seated for this adventure. Terralina Crafted Italian Our table setting featured cloth napkins and some utensils, plus paper bags to keep your masks. Terralina Crafted Italian But enough about the atmosphere, let’s talk about the FOOD! Eats The menu here is pretty big! As a health measure, you’ll receive a disposable menu. Menu One page of the menu is devoted to wine… Menu …and the other has the full list of eats. Expect to see Italian favorites like pasta, pizzas, and more. Menu And there’s a list of beers, cocktails, and desserts too. Menu While we looked over the menu, we got to start with the complimentary Bread Service. Bread Service It’s pretty hard to complain about free bread. Here, the bread service is a nice Italian loaf with a a slightly chewy exterior and a nice soft center. Bread Service It was served with a simple olive oil for dipping. Pretty tasty! Bread Service Well, that bread certainly helped hold us over while we ordered our meal! For an appetizer, we opted to try the Italian Fries for $14. Over the top cheese sauce content in 3…2…1… Italian Fries …boom. That’s the stuff right there. These are Fries topped with Creamy Cheese Sauce and Salami. Sounds simple enough, right? Italian Fries The fries were hot and cripsy and the cheese was VERY tasty. The sauce was a thick, rich cheese sauce with loads of flavor. You know how sometimes you get cheese fries and are like, “umm, ‘scuse me. WHERE is the cheese?!” (Basically the “Where’s the Beef” lady but of cheese for all of you old enough to get the reference!) These fries don’t suffer that same issue. There’s practically a waterfall of thiiiiick cheese sauce on these! We also noticed there was a pretty generous amount of salami. Italian Fries Salami strips on top of cheese fries is a bit unique (and kind of a stretch to call them Italian fries TBH), but we ain’t complaining. The salami is salty and flavorful (almost like a pepperoni, if you’re not mega familiar with salami). Altogether, we liked it a lot. We WOULD say that the fries would’ve been even better with some melted cheese in addition to the cheese sauce (because we’re cheese gluttons so of course we want more cheese!). Shredded Provolone or a hefty sprinkle of Parmesan would be fab here. The portion was quite heavy so this is definitely a shareable bite or a great option if you’re just stopping in for drinks and apps. Italian Fries But why just snag one appetizer when you could snag two? Let’s try out the Mozzarella-stuffed Rice Balls for $13. Mozzarella-stuffed Rice Balls This dish is Fried Rice Balls stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese and topped with Tomato Basil Sauce and Parmesan Shavings. Most Italian fried rice balls are stuffed with risotto and called Arancini — this looked like risotto rice to us. Compared to other fried rice balls we’ve had, they were a bit small (if you thought they were actually lil jalepeño poppers at first glance…same!) but they made up for the size in flavor. Mozzarella-stuffed Rice Balls These were amazing! They were super cheesy but still loaded with lots of rice and had some good crunch. The sauce was served on the side and was light and not overly spicy or seasoned. We loved chowing down on these! Granted, for the price, we would have like to see at least one more on the plate. We thought both of these apps were yummy options, but if you’re looking for something light, you might want to skip it. Both are cheese and carb HEAVY! Mozzarella-stuffed Rice Balls Mooooving on to the main course, one of the entrees we got was the Toasted Gnocchi for $24. Toasted Gnocchi Note that this isn’t actually showing on the online menu currently — only a Pork Gnocchi with pork ragu is — but we’ll still share this with y’all! This dish is made with Lightly Fried Potato Dumplings, Seasonal Vegetables (mushrooms and asparagus for us!), Crispy Pancetta (basically Italian bacon), Brown Butter, Sage, Balsamic Drizzle, and Shaved Parmesan. Toasted Gnocchi Brown butter and sage are a classic combo with pan-fried gnocchi and it didn’t disappoint here. The gnocchi was good — not too chewy — and had great flavor, but it was still a bit on the unique side. It’s definitely not a standard plate of spaghetti! We loved the salty pancetta with the semi-crisp, semi-soft fried gnocchi and toasty buttery sauce. The veggies were nice and hearty — if this is available on your visit, be sure to ask what the veggies are being prepared at the time! Toasted Gnocchi If you tend to like saucier dishes, this might not be for you. The “sauce” is really just butter, so it’s lightly dressed in it, meaning you won’t have a thick sauce to sop up your food in. The drizzle and butter were enough for us but the gnocchi could seem on the dry side to some folks. We’d also say you can skip this if you’re hoping for a more traditional pasta dish. Toasted Gnocchi Our other entree was the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich for $17. Chicken Parmesan Sandwich This sammie is Chicken Parmesan with Mozzarella and a Basil Pesto Sauce served with House-made Pecorino-truffle Potato Chips and Pickles. Wow, color us intrigued! Chicken Parmesan Sandwich This was a HUGE sandwich! Chicken parmesan sammies can immediately conjure up images of BAD chicken parm sammies (we’re talking gummy, dry chicken patties and lifeless cheese). Thankfully, that is NOT the case here. It was very tasty and we loved the addition of the pesto to brighten it up. The bread had a good balance of crunch and softness that helped to soak up the flavors of the pesto and marinara but the chicken was also well-prepared. It was nice but also very filling — definitely a shareable portion! Chicken Parmesan Sandwich The truffle pecorino chips were tasty as well. The truffle was the more pronounced flavor of the two. And for dessert, we tried out the Lemon Panna Cotta for $9. This gorgeous treat had Candied Thyme with it! Lemon Panna Cotta We tasted this way back when Terralina first opened in 2018 and enjoyed it. Panna Cotta can be a love it or leave it dessert for many (we have all too frequently heard it referred to as just milky Jello!), but done right, it can be a great end to a meal. The Panna Cotta was DELIGHTFUL and very light. The lemon flavor was prominent in a bright citrus-y way but without being sour. Add the fresh fruit and you’ve got an AMAZING bite. We thought this was the perfect way to end the meal with something sweet but not too filling. Lemon Panna Cotta If you enjoy citrus desserts and are looking for something light and refreshing, snag this one! If you wanted a rich dessert or something chocolate, this may not be your choice. Sadly it is rather expensive, too ($9 for a couple of spoonfuls!). Lemon Panna Cotta Now that we’re TOTALLY stuffed, we’ll bring ya our final thoughts. Nosh or Not You SHOULD eat at Terralina Crafted Italian if… You love Italian food and are looking for a casual setting to chow down on your favorite cuisine. You’ve got a larger party to please. This spot has a lot of food and drink options! You want to enjoy some outdoor dining in Disney Springs. Bonus points to a table by the water! You should SKIP Terralina Crafted Italian if… You don’t have time for a lengthy sit-down meal. This is a great spot to devote a bit of time to enjoy it fully. Dining in Disney Springs isn’t in your plans. Terralina is great, but we’re not sure it’s worth a trip to Disney Springs when you don’t have time for it! If you’re still craving Italian food in the parks, try Via Napoli in EPCOT. Italian food isn’t your favorite. It’s not all spaghetti and meatballs, as you can see from what we ordered, but it definitely is heavily Italian-influenced. Overall We had a delightful meal at Terralina Crafted Italian! The food was hearty, the service was great, and we loved the option of sitting outside on the water. Plus, it’s a nice option for a Disney Springs day meal. Is it the best of the best sit down restaurants in Disney Springs? That’s for you to decide. If you LOVE Italian food, possibly. Compared to Disney Springs’ other Italian Eateries, Maria and Enzo’s Ristorante and Enzo’s Hideaway, we find it more affordable for the portions served and appreciate the variety. We don’t always crave Italian (and when we do, you can still probably find us inching closer and closer to Via Napoli) but, if the mood strikes, it’s a solid option. We were very happy with our experience. Some of the menu items can get a bit pricey, especially if you’re used to Italian fare from home. Compared to most prices for sit down meals in Disney World, it’s really not too bad though. However, if you’re looking to share you can definitely get your money’s worth. We recommend checking the menu before visiting and deciding what you want and what’s a good value to your crew. If you want to enjoy a glass of wine (or two!) and a casual meal, this is a great spot to do it, especially if a lot of other spots around Springs are already booked up. Plus, they offer a nice happy hour from 4-6PM at their outdoor bar. Now, this isn’t the most exciting dining option in Disney World or even in Disney Springs, but if you’re looking for a tasty Italian meal, head on over! And you should probably look into those fries too — they were REAL good and cheesy! Click here to see us review MORE eats at Terralina Crafted Italian!

Disney Genie just launched in Disney World, and we’re bringing you along with us as we try out all the new features. ©Disney Genie is the new planning tool that is available through My Disney Experience. It also includes Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections, which have replaced FastPass+ in the parks and cost money. We already knew about the cost of Genie+ and select Individual Attractions, but we discovered an unexpected cost today when purchasing these features through Genie. Genie+ gives you access to make reservations for the Lightning Lanes of 46 attractions, but you can only book one attraction at a time. You also cannot re-ride the same attraction using Genie+ — if you want to go on the attraction again, you have to use the regular standby line. Genie+ is $15 per day, per person to use in Disney World. Pirates of the Caribbean’s Lightning Lane However, when you go to purchase Genie+, you will also have tax added on to the total price. This brought our total to $15.98. ©Disney So, Genie+ is technically almost $16 with tax! Splash Mountain Lightning Lane The same goes for purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes for high demand rides like Rise of the Resistance or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. When we bought our Individual Lightning Lane for Rise of the Resistance, it was listed at $15, but $0.98 was added on in tax bringing the total to $15.98. Lightning Lane sign at Rise of the Resistance Remember, the Individual Attraction Selections all have different prices and the prices can change depending on the day. Here is a look at the prices for each ride today: So, when you’re budgeting for your Disney World trip, make sure to include the added tax, because it can add up!

The concept of “hygge” can mean a lot of different things – it’s a way of life, something that makes you comfy and cozy. As the weather cools down and the holidays get closer, the idea of hygge should inspire families to spend time together doing their favorite activities.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/eZs3Ru-gBg4View the full article

Well, today is the day! Disney Genie has officially launched in Disney World! ©Disney The service, which is offered through the My Disney Experience app, will help guests plan their days at Disney World in a way that hasn’t been possible through the app before. But it also offers a new paid service, Disney Genie+. Guests who purchase Disney Genie+ will have the opportunity to book a return time to skip the standby line and go through a ride’s Lightning Lane (a.k.a. the FastPass+ lane) at select rides throughout the four theme parks. The service costs $15 per day per ticket. But how exactly do you buy it? Here’s what you need to know: Step 1: Update Your My Disney Experience App The first thing you’ll want to do is update your My Disney Experience app in order to access Genie and its related services. Make Sure You Update If the update doesn’t automatically get prompted to you, be sure to visit your mobile device’s app store, select the My Disney Experience app, and download the update from there. Step 2: Log Into My Disney Experience Next, you’ll want to log into your My Disney Experience account in the app. Step 3: Go to the Section All the Way to the Right of the My Disney Experience App Then, you’ll head to the section all the way to the right of the app (the one that has the 3 lines). ©Disney Step 4: Select “My Day” You can see this marked in the photo above with the Genie’s lamp. Step 5: Select “Get Disney Genie+ Service” You’ll want to click on the portion in purple that says “Get Disney Genie+ Service.” ©Disney Then you’ll be prompted by another screen all about Genie+. ©Disney You’ll once again click “Get Disney Genie+ Service.” Step 6: Select the Members of Your Party You Want to Purchase the Service Next, it’s time to confirm your party. You can select who you want to purchase Genie+ for. ©Disney Step 7: Review Details After that, you’ll review the details about the purchase and make any edits you need to. ©Disney Step 8: Confirm All of Your Information and Pay Then, it’s time to confirm your information, contact info, etc… ©Disney …and pay. The total for Genie+ at Disney World is $15.98 ($15 per ticket per day plus $0.98 for tax). ©Disney At the moment, it appears Disney is accepting Disney Gift Cards, Rewards Redemption Cards, and Credit/Debit Cards. Step 9: Confirm Your Purchase Finally, you’ll get an order confirmation screen with information about your order and you’ll be able to hit “continue” to see more information. ©Disney This is the most standard way to purchase Genie+. So if you’re looking to skip those standby lines and get on rides faster, now you know how! Important Things to Keep in Mind About Genie+ At this time you will NOT be able to re-ride attractions through Genie+. That means, if you select a Genie+ return time for The Barnstormer and ride the attraction, you won’t be able to later make ANOTHER Genie+ Lightning Lane selection for The Barnstormer. If you want to ride that specific attraction again, you’ll have to use the standby line. Lightning Lane in Magic Kingdom You can only make 1 Genie+ Lightning Lane selection at a time throughout the day. There are some exceptions though. Specifically, if your ride reservation is more than 2 hours away, you should be able to make another reservation for a closer time. But, it appears you won’t be able to make that next Genie+ Lightning Lane selection until 120 minutes after the park opens. Lightning Lane For example, one of our reporters was able to book a Genie+ selection for Slinky Dog Dash right at 7AM, but the return time was for 4-5PM. They then attempted to make a second Genie+ selection for an earlier time (since that 4-5PM return time is more than 2 hours away), but the app informed them that they would not be able to make that second selection until 11AM. ©Disney We’ll be keeping an eye out for updates on this. Genie+ includes access to the Lightning Lanes of over 40 rides in Disney World. But, don’t forget that select attractions only have Lightning Lane access through the Individual Attraction Selection (pay-per-ride) option, which doesn’t require guests to purchase Genie+.

The time has come: Disney’s new paid Fastpass replacement, Disney Genie+, is here. If you miss skipping the lines at all your favorite attractions, you can now do so with the help of Disney Genie+. But wait, there’s more! While guests will be able to purchase Genie+ and ride most rides with a shorter line, not all attractions are available through Genie+. That’s where the new Individual Attraction Selection (IAS) system comes into play. Genie+ ©Disney The Individual Attraction Selection system uses surge pricing and allows guests to pay-per-ride. Keep in mind that you don’t have to pay to ride the IAS attractions; there will still be a virtual or standby queue. Now that you’ve got the idea, you might be wondering how to purchase an Individual Attraction Selection. Let’s break it down. What Is An Individual Attraction Selection? With the new Genie+ feature, guests can make reservations to skip the lines at more than 40 rides throughout Disney World. This costs $15 per ticket, per day. But each Disney World park has two rides (the most popular ones) that don’t qualify for Genie+. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Lightning Lane You can “skip the lines” at these rides by purchasing an Individual Attraction Selection (or Pay-Per-Ride) reservation. You do not have to have Genie+ to buy these reservations, and if you have Genie+, you will still have to pay the extra fee. Guests can buy up to two of these reservations per day. The prices for each attraction (we like to call them the Fancy Rides) currently range from $7 to $15. Expedition Everest could cost $7 to use the Lightning Lane through an IAS, for example If you decide to take advantage of the Individual Attraction Selection system, you can reserve up to 2 rides per day, and they don’t have to be in the same Disney park if you have Park Hopper. After making a reservation, you will be given a return time with a window of 1 hour to ride the attraction. So how do you buy it? “Simple” they say ©Disney How to Buy Individual Attractions/Make Reservations To buy the Individual Attraction Selection reservations, you’ll head to the My Disney Experience app and go to the Genie section. (Make sure you’ve updated your My Disney Experience app.) ©Disney There’s a main page called “My Day,” where you might find the Pay-Per-Ride attractions if you’ve already filled in your preferences for the Genie. When you click on “My Day,” there’s a recommended activity to fill in your preferences. You can do this before your visit. ©Disney This is not required for buying an Individual Attraction Selection, but it might make it easier to find the attractions on your “My Day” page. ©Disney Or you can head to the Tip Board section, where there’s a list of rides in the park you’re visiting first. You can find the attraction you want there and see how much it costs. ©Disney If the ride you’re looking for is not in the first park you’re visiting (AKA you’re park hopping later in the day and want to buy reservations for a ride in that park), click “Change Park” at the top of the Tip Board. ©Disney Once you’ve found the ride you want to purchase reservations for, you’ll tap the “Purchase” button. ©Disney Next, you’ll select which people in your party you want to buy reservations for. The next step is to choose the time that you want to ride the attraction — you can search by hour during the day, and then it will show you specific times within that hour. Remember that your reservation gets you a one-hour window to return to the ride. So if you reserve the ride for 10AM, you can return anytime between 10AM and 11AM. ©Disney Hit continue, and then read over the information to confirm your purchase. ©Disney On the next page, you’ll go over your payment information and choose how you want to pay. You can use the card you have on file with the My Disney Experience app or a Disney gift card. A Cast Member previously told us that Apple Pay will be an option, but we didn’t see it listed as an option when we bought our reservations. You’ll review the payment summary and hit “Purchase.” Then you should see an order confirmation page, which means your order is complete! ©Disney Park Hopping?! Here’s An Individual Attraction Selection Issue You May Encounter! If you’re trying to book an Individual Attraction Selection ride in two different parks (because you have Park Hopper), it can be a little tricky to find the ride that’s not in the first park you’re visiting. For example, we had Disney’s Hollywood Studios as the first park of our day, so we bought a reservation for Rise of the Resistance. Rise of the Resistance But we knew we would park hop over to EPCOT later in the day, so we wanted to book Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure as the second one. To find Remy’s, we had to go back to the Genie Tip Board, change the park at the top, and scroll down to find Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Even though we selected both of these attractions when we chose our selections for the day, neither popped up automatically. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure There you have it! If you’re wanting to ride the *fancy rides* in Disney World with a shorter wait time, you officially can! Don’t forget that you can also (or instead) purchase Genie+ for $15 per person, per day to reserve rides and “skip the lines” for most other Disney World attractions. Or, you can simply jump in the stand-by lines! Also, as a reminder, the free virtual queue is still available for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure!

It’s a VERY big day in Disney World today, and we’re taking you along with us! Magic Kingdom Today is the first day of Disney World’s new Disney Genie service. The revamp to the My Disney Experience app includes free offerings (like personalized itineraries and predictive wait times), the new PAID Genie+ that has replaced Fastpass+, those pay-per-ride selections, and MORE. We’re making our way through the parks today to learn EVERYTHING there is to know about how Genie+ works, so get ready to follow along! Yep, we’re LIVE from the first day ever of Disney Genie. Let’s see how the day goes! Stay tuned to this post because we’ll be updating it ALL DAY with EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. What is Genie? We’ve made a few posts explaining Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection. Here are the basics: Disney Genie: FREE planning service to help you optimize your day in the parks Genie+: PAID service, FastPass+-like replacement, can select a return time to use a ride’s Lightning Lane 1 at a time throughout the day, over 40 attractions in Disney World are included, cost if $15 per day per ticket Individual Attraction Selection or pay-per-ride: PAID service for select, highly popular attractions that are NOT available through Genie+, you pay individually to select a return time to use a single ride’s Lightning Lane Some of our reporters handled things differently though and either didn’t tell Genie that they were park hopping, or made other selections. We’ll be sharing updates and information about their experiences throughout the day. Magic Kingdom If you are on the Tip Board, you can refresh and scroll down to see the options available at the park you’re looking at. You can also hit “change park” on the top to change your selections. ©Disney Note how right at 7AM ET, when we scrolled down, we were able to look at the first Genie+ Lightning Lane return times in Magic Kingdom, most of which started right at 9AM. We were also able to look at pay-per-ride selections. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was priced at $10 and Space Mountain was priced at $7. ©Disney EPCOT At EPCOT, for shows you could see the next showtimes and the next Genie+ Lightning Lane times. ©Disney We could also see that the prices today for EPCOT’s pay-per-ride options were $9 for Frozen Ever After… ©Disney …and $9 for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. ©Disney Keep in mind that these prices will vary by park, date, and attraction. Disney’s Hollywood Studios For shows, you can see how Genie indicates the next showtime for Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, and when the Lightning Lane return time would be. ©Disney In terms of pay-per-ride selections at Hollywood Studios, the prices today were $8 for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway… ©Disney …and $15 for Rise of the Resistance. ©Disney Disney’s Animal Kingdom At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the pay-per-ride price for Avatar Flight of Passage was $11 today… ©Disney …while the pay-per-ride cost for Expedition Everest was $7. ©Disney Park Hopping Again, you can let Genie know that you are park hopping, what park you’re planning to hop to, and at what time you’re planning to hop. ©Disney This helps the system know where you’re heading and then opens up potential choices for you to make at that park. Additional Tips and Information There is a LOT going on right now with several of our reporters in different parks working on testing the system in multiple ways. Here are some of our big takeaways so far: Our one reporter who had already told Genie where they were going, etc. said things were pretty intuitive this morning — so planning in advance and giving the system that information can be helpful. Some of our reporters noted that finding the pay-per-ride options could be confusing. They essentially had to go to the tip board and select the specific park where the ride is located to find it, so keep that in mind — you might need to go out of the normal screen for planning and off to the tip board to find those pay-per-ride selections. Some reporters were having issues changing their plans with the regular Genie planning service in terms of changing what things they wanted to see (but not ones they had a booked Lightning Lane for). One tried to remove a selection from their plans and got error messages. Want to make sure you’re not missing anything? Follow along with us on Instagram and Twitter.

There are a lot of new features coming to Disney World tomorrow with the launch of Disney Genie and Disney Genie+! ©Disney The free Disney Genie service will offer a digital assistant for planning your day in the park, while the paid Disney Genie+ will allow guests to use the Lightning Lanes for certain attractions. And as part of the offerings of Genie+, guests who purchase the new system will be able to use new PhotoPass lenses in the parks! These new lenses will be available starting tomorrow, October 19th, through the My Disney Experience app. The full list of lenses will only be available to those who purchase Genie+ for the day, although a select sampling of them will be complimentary in the Snapchat app. There are new PhotoPass Lenses coming soon! Disney shared a glimpse at some of the lenses coming soon, and by far our favorite option is the augmented reality filter that allows you to take a photo with the birthday cake Cinderella Castle from Magic Kingdom’s 25th Anniversary! ©Disney These new lenses will be available all around the resort, whether you’re on transportation, in your hotel room, or in a park. However, some of them will be exclusive to certain areas of the park, like the new Remy lens. Also, some of these options will be available up to 45 days after you visit and use the Genie+ service, including the new “Lady and the Tramp” lens — you can re-create the iconic movie spaghetti scene with your pet at home! ©Disney It’s important to note that while the Disney PhotoPass Lenses are available in the My Disney Experience app with the purchase of Genie+, that purchase will not include the ability to download PhotoPass photos from in-park photographers and on-ride pictures from Disney World. That must be purchased separately with the Memory Maker add-on. (Although Genie+ in Disneyland Resort WILL include PhotoPass pictures.)

For months we’ve been on the lookout for the latest information about the Swan Reserve, a brand NEW hotel coming to Disney world near the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort. Swan Reserve View We’ve shared details about the spectacular views you can get from the rooms, a FULL tour inside the hotel, and more. But now, we’ve got some exciting news about the food you’ll be able to eat at some of the Swan Reserve’s restaurants! Not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 NEW restaurant concepts will debut as part of the opening of the Swan Reserve when it opens this year. First, we’ve got the full-service restaurant, Amare, that is inspired by the “tastes and cultures of the Mediterranean region.” Amare will actually be the signature restaurant of the Swan Reserve. How pretty! The menu at Amare will feature fresh, premium ingredients, seafood, citrus, olive oils, pasta, and pitas. There will also be an extensive Mediterranean-based wine list available here, with some specialized wine flights. Wondering what will be on the Amare menu? Well, according to a recent press release from the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, breakfast will feature a “Breakfast buffet, breakfast bowls and a la carte items including Eggs Au Cheval (two farm fresh eggs, seared medallions of angus beef tenderloin, sauce bearnaise and house breakfast potatoes).” Amare At lunch, you’ll be able to grab “salads, flatbreads and entrees including grilled line-caught mahi-mahi with lemon, Tuscan kale and Spanish caper emulsion.” Finally, at dinner you can find items like “hearth-fired Tiger Prawns and charred octopus, and entrees including sea bass al cartoccio, and handmade manti dumpling filled with bahrat spiced lamb, cauliflower, roasted eggplant, tomato, yogurt sauce.” Amare And, of course, you’ll be able to end your night with a sweet treat. Dessert items will include “Pistachio caragli (rolled baklava), Greek yogurt cheesecake and Meyer lemon panna cotta.” Swan Reserve Restaurant Space The Swan Reserve will also feature a NEW poolside bar and grill called Tangerine. This spot will feature signature drinks as well as some more casual items including flatbreads, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. And if you’re looking for a refreshing snack by the pool, you can grab the Swan Reserve’s signature popsicle which is (appropriately) Tangerine flavored! Pool at the Swan Reserve If you’re looking for a grab-and-go option at the Swan Reserve, you’ll want to head to Grounds. At Grounds you’ll be able to get “craft coffee, sandwiches, pastries and more.” Food Area at the Swan Reserve Finally, the last spot on this restaurant tour is the lobby lounge, Stir. At Stir, you can get “specialty cocktails and light bites including Chef’s selection of handcrafted salamis of Spain & Italy and a Soppressata, red onion, torn mozzarella, San Marzano flatbread.” Stir will also have special food and drink pairings exclusively for guests at the Swan Reserve and these will change daily. Lounge and Bar Area at the Swan Reserve As a nod to Orlando’s rich history with citrus, there will be menu items (including drinks, desserts, and more) at all 4 of the new spots that are citrus-inspired. Right now, the Swan Reserve is set to open in October of 2021. Lounge area We’ll be on the lookout for more updates and we’ll be sure to share that information with you.

We sometimes focus on the parks and hotels around Disney World, but did you know that some of the BEST food and merchandise can be found at Disney Springs? Disney Springs This shopping center has Disney gift shops as well as other popular stores, amazing restaurants (some with celebrity chefs), and even a few attractions. We headed down to the Springs to check out what’s new in this area, including food, merchandise, and any other updates we spot along the way. Let’s start out with obviously the most important thing — the food. Disney Springs Food Updates First, we headed over to Vivoli il Gelato, which is known for delicious Italian treats. This spot has several new seasonal items, and we tried out a few of them! Vivoli il Gelato First, we had their Mimosa Sorbet (which isn’t actually a seasonal item, it just looked too delicious to pass up). This treat was delicious. It’s made with Terra Di Baco Prosecco and orange flavors, and there’s a little candy orange slice on top for the garnish. It was super refreshing and light, which was great for the warm day. Mimosa Sorbet from Vivoli il Gelato Our gelato was $7.75. We also tried the Pumpkin Waffle, which is a Pumpkin Waffle topped with vanilla gelato, whipped cream, and brown sugar. This was a BIG portion, and we thought all the elements were delicious. There wasn’t a ton of pumpkin flavor in the waffle, though — it tasted more like fall spices to us. Sugar topped ice cream? Yes, please! The Pumpkin Waffle was $12 (and it’s definitely share-able). Our last treat was the biggest winner, in our opinion. It’s the Mocha Caramel Bombolato, which is a warm Italian donut, filled with coffee gelato, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce. As you might expect from that description, this was VERY tasty. The coffee flavor came through strongly, and the cold gelato against the warm donut was pure heaven. The bombolato was $9.75. Mocha Caramel Bombolato At the Wondermade Gourmet Marshmallow stand, we found a few more fall-flavored treats. Marshmallowy goodness There were some new specialty flavors, including Pumpkin Spice… Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows …Chai Tea… Chai Tea …and Apple Cinnamon. Each pack comes with 16 marshmallows. Apple Cinnamon And rounding out our search for sweets, we stopped by The Ganachery to check out any new offerings. The Ganachery And we weren’t disappointed! There are new Annual Passholder chocolates available, this time with the AP logo on the front. AP Chocolates We’ve seen other Annual Passholder-exclusives here, like the Orange Bird chocolates from a couple of months ago. So if you’re a passholder, you can head down now to buy these chocolates. Annual Passholder sign To wash down all the sugar, we stopped by the huge Coca-Cola Store in Disney Springs. We found out that most of the international sodas from Club Cool (the soda-tasting attraction in Disney’s EPCOT park) are on tap here! Coca Cola Store Since we’re big fans of the refreshing Cucumber Sprite from Russia (which you can find at Club Cool too), we got a full drink of that. Cucumber Sprite is here! Club Cool in EPCOT is free, but there’s a paid option to taste a bunch of international sodas at the Coca-Cola store as well. You do get twice as many flavors at the Coca-Cola store, and most of the Club Cool flavors are included (except for Korea’s Joy flavor). International sodas On our way out, we tried some Coca-Cola Tic Tacs. Coca Cola tic tacs The little candies are so cute with the Coke logo! Coke Tic Tacs All full of sweets and soda, we made our way to the shops to check out the new merchandise. Disney Springs Merchandise Update It’s practically mandatory to stop by World of Disney if you go to Disney Springs. This is a HUGE gift shop with all kinds of merchandise. World of Disney We spotted the new Mickey Mouse ears from Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Vault collection here. Vault Collection Mickey Ears They were $24.99. Pro tip: these ears make your shadow look awesome. Our shadow made us chuckle We headed to the Vera Bradley store next to check out the new Castle Collection. Vera Bradley Store There was a pink tote bag with a Cinderella Castle decal on the front for $145. Pink Tote Bag We also saw some backpacks in this collection, including a pink one… Pink Castle Backpack …and a silver one. Both were $160 and featured the Castle decal as well. Silver Castle Backpack Now let’s see if there are any other updates around the Springs. Disney Springs Construction Update Walking around the Springs, we spotted a couple of fun Halloween photo ops! One was at the Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar. It has some fruit-themed Halloween characters with fun signs that you can pose next to. Coca-Cola Photo Op And another was spotted over by the Disney’s Days of Christmas store. This one had a 31 Nights of Halloween theme (a seasonal event with 31 different Halloween movies on the Freeform streaming service), with some jack-o-lanterns and candy on the side. Disney Springs Photo Op And that’s all for our Disney Springs updates! Keep following DFB for more news about what’s going on in Disney World.

You could go classic with a Disney backpack and some Minnie ears, or you could think outside the box and get some shoes with your favorite character on them. But if you really want to take things to the next level, then you need to see the new jewelry in Disney World! This brand-new Disney Villains collection from CRISLU already arrived online last week (and the shopDisney photos seriously gave us some nightmares), but now it has made its way to Magic Kingdom! And we’ll be honest, they look WAY better — and a lot less frightening — in person. At Uptown Jewelers we spotted three new pairs of villainous earrings — Evil Queen, Ursula, and Maleficent. All perfectly ready to be added to your devilishly stylish wardrobe! What do you think? The Evil Queen earrings are made with cubic zirconia stones for the face, a black rhodium finish, and “topped with her iconic crown in 18k yellow gold.” They’re available online and in Disney World for $125. We can feel the evil all the way from here. The Ursula earrings from CRISLU are made with faceted amethyst cubic zirconia stones for the face, sterling silver “hair,” and a platinum finish. They’re also $125 per pair. Spooky AND sparkly. And finally, there are the Maleficent earrings, which are a little bit cheaper than the other two pairs at $100. These have cubic zirconium stones for the faces and black rhodium plating for the Mistress of All Evil’s horns. Honestly, these are pretty cool! If you want to purchase any of these three pairs of earrings, you can buy them online or in the parks right now! Stay tuned to DFB for more merchandise news and updates!

Over the past year (and beyond), we’ve been keeping an eye on Disney’s stock and how it has changed with the onset of the pandemic, the launch of hit shows on Disney+, and more. ©The Walt Disney Company Now, with just a little less than a month to go to Disney+ Day and Disney’s next quarterly earnings call, we’re getting an updated look at Disney’s stock, and some analysts’ thoughts on the situation with Disney+. According to Forbes, Disney’s shares fell 3% on Monday, October 18th, “after analysts at Barclays downgraded the stock.” Specifically, Barclays warned that Disney’s long-term subscriber goals for Disney+ “appear overly optimistic.” Barclays analyst Kannan Venkateshwar downgraded Disney’s stock from an “outperform” to an “equal weight” rating and lowered the price target from $210 per share to $175 per share. Walt Disney Company Logo Forbes notes that Disney stocks are up nearly 40% over the past year, but after peaking at $200 per share earlier this year, the price has pulled back. As Forbes reports, in July of this year, Disney shared that it had 116 million subscribers for Disney+ and Hotstar. Disney expects to have between 230 and 260 million total subscribers by the end of fiscal year 2024. ©Disney But, Barclays analysts are skeptical. They’ve noted concerns about Disney+’s slowing growth and “the fact that Disney+ has been producing far less new content than its chief competitor, Netflix.” Netflix had approximately 209 million subscribers in July. As of July 3, 2021, Disney+ had grown to 116 million subscribers. But, this actually exceeded Disney’s own projections for 113 million subscribers. Some sources did note, however, that growth had slowed earlier in the year. While Disney+ added 8.7 million subscribers within a recent period, some had hoped for more than 14 million, according to the New York Times. Still, some sources actually have reported that Disney+ is set to have MORE subscribers than Netflix by the year 2025. ©Disney Barclays has its doubts about Disney+. Barclays also noted that Hotstar could take a hit as it deals with expiring sports rights in India. When it comes to content, one Barclays analyst noted, “In order to get to its long-term streaming subscription guide, Disney needs to more than double its current pace of growth to at least the same level as Netflix.” ©Disney It is possible that Disney+ day, which is set to take place in November, will be the answer to some of these concerns. On that day, quite a lot of new movies and series will be released on Disney+ and we expect more news will also be shared. At the moment, according to Google, Disney’s shares are priced at around $169.89 per share. ©Google Stocks Disney’s next quarterly earnings call is set for November 10th. We expect to learn more during that call about the situation with Disney+ and other areas of the company. Be sure to check back with us for more details.

What’s this? What’s this? Why it’s a scrumptious treat board paying a thrilling, and might we add tasty, homage to "Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas"! There are no tricks on this board, only amazing treats including Sally sugar cookies, Zero peanut butter cookies, and Jack Skellington-inspired dipped peanut butter sandwich crackers. Neither you nor Oogie Boogie will be “weak with hunger” after creating this frighteningly fantastic board, thanks to the vision of Ginny Phillips of Making Main Street.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/FffHSf5Xi2QView the full article
