Not too long ago, Disney World shared that there would be more than 150 new snacks, treats, and drinks for the 50th Anniversary. Happy 50th! We have been making our way through a whole bunch of these new dishes, and today our food adventures brought us to Magic Kingdom for one of the new 50th Anniversary snacks. Spoiler alert: this one has neither blue food dye NOR glitter. We found this particular 50th anniversary snack at The Lunching Pad, which is a quick-service restaurant in Tomorrowland. This location does have mobile order. Here, you can typically grab some classics like a Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzel, a slushy, or a hot dog, but today we were after something special. The Lunching Pad The Lunching Pad is the home of the NEW “If You Had Wings” Chicken Strips. These are Caribbean jerk chicken strips, served with a side of Lays potato chips or a Cuties mandarin orange. You get four chicken strips and the side for $10.49. (We also added on a soda to our meal, which is $3.99.) Our Breakfast! We thought the taste of Caribbean jerk was very prominent in these chicken strips, which we loved! The seasoning is just on the outside of the batter (you can see it on the strips), and we couldn’t taste any within the chicken itself. But the flavor still came through without being overly spicy. Yum! We’re pretty sure these are just the normal Disney chicken tenders tossed in a jerk seasoning. But, we do enjoy some good Disney World chicken strips, and the seasoning makes a big difference in our opinion. Can you see the seasoning? The chicken was very good, although two of our four tenders were a little bit dry. We asked for some Ranch dipping sauce on the side, which helped out with that! We’ve got the goods If you like the Caribbean jerk flavor or spicy flavors in general, you might really enjoy these! It was a great, filling breakfast/very, very early lunch, and we loved that you can mobile order at this spot. Mobile Order If you don’t like the jerk flavors, though, you might want to head to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe (located nearby, also in Tomorrowland) and grab some of the regular chicken strips instead. Although the spices aren’t too overwhelming on these strips, the flavor is still strong and you can’t really get around it. Good morning jerk chicken Overall, we thought these were a very tasty, quick meal for a Magic Kingdom day! We like that it’s basically a classic theme park food with an exciting twist that makes the chicken much more interesting.

Today Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside reopened, so we made our way over there to check it out. Port Orleans Riverside Port Orleans Resort — Riverside is a moderate resort located on the Sassagoula River. Although most of the dining options at Riverside have reopened with the resort today, one key dining spot is not set to return for a few more months. Let’s start with what’s open. The Riverside Mill Food Court is showing operating hours today from 7AM to 11PM (keep in mind operating hours can change). At this spot, you can get a Southern-style breakfast, lunch, or dinner, including dishes like Shrimp & Grits and Jambalaya. It’s a quick-service dining spot, which means you don’t need reservations here. Outside at Port Orleans Resort — Riverside The River Roost Lounge will be open later today, from 5PM to 12AM. This lounge has some small plates like Loaded Potato Puffs and Boudin. If you’re coming for a drink, there are also some mocktails, a long list of cocktails, and some other drinks available. And The River Roost Lounge is the spot of the beloved Yehaa Bob Jackson, who will be returning to perform at the resort this evening! River Roost Lounge The Muddy Rivers Pool Bar also has reopened and is showing operating hours from 11AM to 9:30PM today. At this bar, you can grab a quick bite (they’ve got sandwiches, salads, and pretzels) as well as a cool drink to enjoy while you lounge by the pool. We’ve tried some of the frozen drinks at this spot and you can read more about that here. Muddy Rivers Pool Bar Boatwright’s Dining Hall, known for their dishes inspired by Southern Louisiana cuisine, is not showing any operating hours for today or for several dates we checked in October and dates following that. According to a Cast Member we spoke with today, this spot will not reopen until sometime in December. This hidden gem of a table service restaurant has some delicious dishes like Mardi Gras Fritters, Prime Rib, and more, all of which are served in a unique dining atmosphere resembling a boat construction warehouse. Boatwright’s Dining Hall We’ll be watching out for an official reopening date for Boatwright’s. Keep in mind that while Riverside opened today, Port Orleans Resort– French Quarter will not reopen until October 28th. Keep reading DFB for more Disney World Resort and restaurant news!

But, even with all of that, some things still remain closed. But today, another part of Disney World has reopened — let’s go check it out! Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside has REOPENED!! Port Orleans — Riverside That’s right, folks! We told you back in July that the resort would be reopening, and the day is finally here. Port Orleans Riverside has been closed since Disney World shut down in March of 2020 due to the global pandemic. Port Orleans Riverside We went on over to the resort today for the grand opening, and were met with balloons, banners, and a red carpet! So fancy, Riverside! Giving us the red carpet treatment! Heading inside, the lobby area is as beautiful as ever. Checking in? The check-in area is pretty grand! Just look at those high ceilings and architecture. Do you spot the hidden Mickeys? So pretty! Let’s go see what else is open! Riverside is back! Fulton’s General Store is back, where you can pick up all your souvenirs. Need some Mickey Ears? And, the River Roost is open starting at 5PM!

Riverside Mill Food Court is also open! Their current hours are from 7AM to 11PM every day. This is where you can grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner and enjoy food inspired by Southern Louisiana style cooking. Time to eat! The pools are also open at Port Orleans Riverside! We saw lifeguards at the ‘Ol Man Island pool this morning. Swimming in October? Yes, please! We took a stroll next to the Sassagoula River, which was looking absolutely gorgeous. So peaceful On the river, we spotted a Sassagoula River Ferryboat! These run between the hotel and Disney Springs. Bop on over to Disney Springs Moving on, we looked at a couple of the buildings that have reopened with the hotel. Check out that grand double staircase back there! Port Orleans Riverside This building is SO PRETTY with the big trees and the courtyard with the fountain. Riverside is a beautiful hotel!

In the 1960s, businessman Walt Disney was captivated by Wakulla Springs, one of the most beautiful natural sites in Florida. But the powerful financier who controlled the Panhandle site blew him off, according to lore. View the full article Building Walt Disney World: Early Construction (Orlando Sentinel File Photo) 1 / 55 As Walt Disney World continues its 50th birthday celebrations, a national media organization has revived musings about how a powerful businessman was rumored to have single-handedly prevented the theme park empire from taking root in the Florida Panhandle. Ed Ball, “the story goes, blew off Walt Disney and what could have been a $100 billion opportunity for north Florida,” the USA Today Network wrote in a recap published Thursday. Walt Disney reportedly “wanted to buy some 28,000 acres to develop Walt Disney World and a complex of resorts and hotels back in the 1960s,” according to the report. TRAVEL Florida Springs Guide: Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park JUL 02, 2013 AT 2:00 PM Disney was captivated by Wakulla Springs, one of the most beautiful natural sites in Florida. Ball had created the Wakulla Springs tourist attraction in 1937 after purchasing the land a few years earlier, according to Florida State Parks. A headline in the Pensacola News Journal in August 1959 declared: “Wakulla Springs May Be Disneyland, Fla.” But as it turns out, Ball refused to even meet with Disney, categorizing him as “carnival people,” former St. Joe CEO Peter Rummel told Fortune Magazine. “Could you imagine if Walt Disney got his hands on Wakulla Springs?” Tallahassee Democrat columnist Mark Hinson said his father speculated in the late 1970s. “The whole Panhandle would look like the Orange Blossom Trail. Nothing but strip clubs, prostitutes and urban sprawl.” Yet, Ball’s St. Joe Paper Co. did its own damage to that part of the state, as it “devastated much of the region’s natural long leaf pines and tapped millions of gallons from the Florida aquifer,” the Florida Times-Union reported. Ball, who owned millions of acres of land, also controlled a variety of business interests including “telephone companies, a sugar company and massive banking and railroad interests,” according to the Florida Times-Union. DISNEY WORLD 50TH ANNIVERSARY Disney, of course, ended up targeting south Orlando, where Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike meet — an area that in the early 1960s had almost nothing but acres of nature. Disney went to great lengths to keep his land buys under wraps, but a few weeks before the official announcement, the Orlando Sentinel reported: “The Sentinel has pieced together bits of information from many parts of the nation and believes it can authoritatively state that the long-rumored ‘mystery industry’ in Orange and Osceola Counties is a Disney attraction.” Disney World at 50 series Read the Orlando Sentinel’s “Disney World at 50″ series — a year’s worth of stories leading up to the 50th anniversary of the historic opening of Walt Disney World on Oct. 1, 1971. Find stories, photos and videos at OrlandoSentinel.com/wdw50. The front page of the October 21, 1965 edition of the Orlando Sentinel with the lede headline of "Is Our 'Mystery' Industry Disneyland?' The story by Sentinel reporter Emily Bavar was the first to say that large real estate buys in Central Florida were going to be used by Walt Disney to expand his entertainment empire into what would eventually become Walt Disney World with the opening of Magic Kingdom in October, 1971.

We woke up this morning, in the middle of October, still feeling those spooky, Halloween vibes, but Disney had other plans! Apparently we’re skipping over Halloween and jumping straight into the holiday season. Hollywood Studios Earlier this morning we spotted the cutest vintage-looking holiday mugs in Magic Kingdom, and we’ve seen lots of new holiday merchandise online at shopDisney as well. But today’s find has taken the leap to Christmas to a whole new level! Today, we were strolling down Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, enjoying the sunshine and Tower of Terror views when we suddenly stopped in our tracks because something was different. The spooky vibes from the Tower of Terror strangely didn’t seem quite so spooky…and there was almost a sense of…holiday cheer in the air? What could be different? Then we realized what was different — holiday decorations are already up on Sunset Boulevard! The iconic red and white stars are now hanging from the street lamps all the way down the boulevard. And members of our team have some mixed emotions about it. When our reporter alerted the team that Disney World is already getting jolly for the holidays, here are some of the responses we had: What a beaut! “Uhhhh we’re not even halfway through October.” “It’s not time for this yet! Let pumpkin (the clearly superior seasonal flavor) LIVE.” “BOOOOO It’s still spooky season I refuse to accept this!” “Am I hallucinating? This feels a little early.” Happy Holidays Everyone! But, some other team members were ready for the holiday season to start and responded by saying: “Now it’s the best day ever.” “I’m going to explode with excitement!!!” “YAY Sunset Boulevard at Christmas is my FAVE.” “Bring on the Peppermint!” Holiday Decor is HERE Last year, Disney World didn’t start decorating for the holidays until around October 29th. But this year, it seems they’ve bumped up the holiday decor by a few weeks! Again, it’s not truly shocking since we’ve seen holiday merchandise already released online and we celebrated halfway to the holidays earlier this year, but it still caused quite the debate within our team. Simply haaaving a wonderful Christmas timeeee So which side are you on? Team “Holiday cheer all the way”? Or Team “give Halloween the spotlight it deserves”? Let us know in the comments!

The thing about Disney World is that there are just SO many details to admire and take in that it’s almost overwhelming at times! There’s a HIDDEN Mickey in there! From the fun Ratatouille-inspired details we’ve noticed in the expanded France pavilion at EPCOT to spotting an astronaut pup while dining at Space 220, Disney World is full of fun surprises. And some of those surprises come in the form of a certain mouse named MICKEY! Yes, we’re talking about Hidden Mickeys, which is part of a fun game that many of us play when we visit Disney World. We’ve literally spent hours — and days — searching for them all. And Disney Imagineers have NOT made it easy at times. For example, there’s a Hidden Mickey in the Tower of Terror that can only really be seen when the emergency lights are on. What Do You See? And sometimes, they’re not so subtle to find, but we still get excited seeing those details. And we’re always happy when our readers point them out to us, too — y’all seriously have some good eyes! Recently, DFB Reader @amaandaaa___ sent us photos of a really fun Hidden Mickey! Next time you’re in line for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, look up at the lighting fixtures. What do YOU see? There’s a beautiful scrolled pattern on the sides of the light. But wait… . ©@amaandaaa___ How about a closer look…now do you see it? Do you see the Hidden Mickey in that seemingly random design! He’s right there! Found him! How cool is that little detail? And we’re sure there are plenty of other Hidden Mickeys we haven’t spotted yet just hiding under our noses! But we’ll let you know when we find them! So next time you’re in line for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, make sure you look up! Read about a Hidden Mickey that you’ll NEVER see again HERE!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like — okay, we know it’s only mid-October, but there are already holiday vibes happening around Disney World, people! AP Christmas Phone Case Disney is known for celebrating holidays way too early, and even though we’re in the middle of spooky season, we keep finding new holiday merchandise! We’ve seen holiday spirit jerseys, MagicBands, decor, and even Minnie ears pop up online. But, today we actually found new holiday merchandise inside Magic Kingdom! Check out these new Starbucks holiday items! We love spooky season…but we’re so excited for the holidays!! The design is in the same style we’ve seen from Starbucks for Disney World’s recent Vault Collection celebrating the 50th anniversary. Such a unique design We found these in Main Street Bakery today, AKA the Starbucks on Main Street, U.S.A. Look how tiny the ornament is! There is the holiday tumbler, which shows Mickey and Minnie decked out in red and green in front of a festive Cinderella Castle, as well as a giant Christmas tree and Santa on his sleigh! You can grab it for $24.99. This legally has to be filled with hot cocoa at least once during the holidays, right?!

If there’s one thing you can count on seeing in Walt Disney World, it’s crowds of people! Crowd levels in EPCOT With the promotions Disney offers throughout the year, more people visit the parks during what was previously considered the off season. In recent years, that “off season” has seemed to become more and more elusive! While it’s never a ghost town, there are still a handful of times during the year that you’ll typically see lighter crowds at the most magical place on earth, and we’re here to tell you all about them! As a general rule, if you want to avoid the biggest crowds at Disney World, do NOT plan your trip around times that you (and likely LOADS of other people) have off work or school. That means holidays, Spring Break, or during summer vacation. Even times that SEEM slow might not be due to large events such as cheerleading competitions. Here are the LEAST crowded times to visit Walt Disney World: Early January Early January, from about the 5th to Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, is typically a less crowded time at Disney World. You may still have some kids on the tail end of their holiday breaks, but for the most part, they’re back in school. School-age guests just had time off for a week or two, so the odds of seeing droves of families stretching a holiday vacation out or waiting until the days AFTER the big holidays to vacation is somewhat low. Dinoland looking empty! Sometimes Disney even leaves their holiday decorations up a few days into the new year, so if you want that holiday feel without the crowds, this is when to go! EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts will also kick off in January, so you could be there on opening day if you time it right! Late January Late January, after the long weekend for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is typically a lighter crowd time in Disney. No line for the Mexico pyramid?! Sign us up! Kids are back in school and it’s winter, which means you might actually see some of those rare cold Florida days (which is like… 50 degrees in Orlando). EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts will be in full swing, so you can take advantage of the fun food festival! Click here to see a planning guide for January Disney World trips! Early February Just like January, February is peak winter, so it can be kind of chilly! That is, unless you’re used to sub-zero temps in the winter, then Florida weather should feel warm to you! Empty Hollywood Studios on a rainy day The colder weather combined with no federal holidays make early February (before President’s Day) a typically less busy time in Disney World. It’s a great option if you want to visit the parks in moderate weather! Do know that starting in mid-February, Spring Break begins for many schools (plus Valentine’s Day can see an increase in guests), so crowds will start to go up in the latter part of the month. Click here to see what you need to know for a February trip to Disney World End of August School is back in session for most people, meaning waaay fewer families are at Disney! The end of August is a great time to go to the parks, IF you can get past the sweltering Florida heat (it’s no joke!). The thing to remember for families with school-aged children is deciding if you’re OK pulling your kids out of school RIGHT after it starts for a vacation. No Frozen Ever After Line We recommend you take advantage of the lighter crowds in late August before Labor Day Weekend! Plus, Disney begins celebrating Halloween in August, so you’ll get to see all the festive decorations and can even go to the new after hours event, BOO Bash, if it returns next year! You also can take advantage of EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival! Click here to learn more about BOO Bash! Middle to Late September Labor Day Weekend will bring BIG crowds to Disney World, but right after the holiday, kids have to get back to school and parents back to work. So, mid to late September is often one of the least crowded times in the parks! Who’s ready for Halloween? Halloween festivities will be in full swing and the heat won’t be as bad as it was in August (it’s still hot though, I mean, it IS Florida). This is traditionally a great time to get to Disney. Click here to see everything you need to know for a September trip to Disney World! Early to Middle November After the chaos of Halloween quiets down, Disney World quiets down a bit, too! Early to mid November usually sees fewer crowds as it’s between two major holidays. However, keep in mind that with Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration in full swing, November may be more crowded than usual! China pavilion There can also be crowds when Veteran’s Day (November 11th) falls on a Monday or Friday, creating a long weekend. Veteran’s Day in Magic Kingdom This is the perfect time to check out all of the holiday decorations in Disney World without the crowds. The weather is also usually fabulous in November — not too hot, not too cold — and it’s the end of Hurricane season! You’ve got a small window here before Thanksgiving crowds roll into town though, so time your trip just right! Christmas Tree Those are all of the least crowded times in Walt Disney World! Usually, we would say October is a less busy time to visit Disney, but the resort’s 50th anniversary was on October 1st and is kicking off an 18-month celebration! Some people had trips booked for YEARS to be in the parks during the milestone anniversary. The celebrations combined with the peak Halloween season should lead to large crowd numbers. Click here to learn more about Disney World’s BIG 50th Anniversary celebration! Remember, you can also usually count on weekdays to be slightly less crowded than weekends in Disney unless it’s a holiday or Spring Break (locals love Disney World too!). We hope this helps you plan a vacation where you don’t spend the majority of the time waiting in line! Stay tuned to DFB for all of the best tips on planning your Disney World vacation!

Today, we are excited to share a conversation with author, Tehlor Kay Mejia, who has embraced her Mexican heritage throughout her career, and most recently, in the second novel in her Paola Santiago series, "Paola Santiago and the Forest of Nightmares."http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/qSuBGJ8jaiUView the full article

We're not far, far away from Disney's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. How passenger options may affect story, the experience.. View the full article Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser visitors may choose to side with Resistance, First Order or neither, Imagineers say. - Original Source: Handout (Walt Disney Co. / Courtesy photo) We are no longer far, far away from overnight stays in the “Star Wars.” Walt Disney World’s Galactic Starcruiser will start welcoming guests/passengers March 1. The experience is being prepared near Disney’s Hollywood Studios, home of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land, which is incorporated into the Starcruiser itinerary. A Starcruiser visit includes a two-night stay aboard the Halcyon, meals, interactions with characters, an outing to the planet of Batuu and passenger decisions that affect storylines running the length of the experience. There is an emphasis on immersion. But calling it the “Star Wars hotel” doesn’t capture what is happening there, said Scott Trowbridge, portfolio creative executive with Walt Disney Imagineering. As Disney World geared up for its 50th anniversary celebration, Trowbridge shared thoughts on Starcruiser topics with the Orlando Sentinel. Trowbridge on referring to it as ‘the Star Wars hotel’ “That’s understandable that that’s what people are saying because there isn’t really anything to compare it to … which is why we call it a multiday immersive adventure. … It’s the stories that happen and the way that all the adventure unfolds according to your choices aboard. … No one has ever built anything like this before, which is very exciting but also we have that challenge of what do you compare it to? “It really is kind of easiest to compare it to a cruise. It follows a cruise model. It acts kind of like a simulated cruise in space. You book it like that. You kind of experience it like that. It’s all inclusive like that. So that’s probably the closest thing to compare it to until people experience it … and it kind of becomes its own thing.” On choices that visitors will be asked to make “Once you get aboard there’s going to be many invitations for you to engage in different ways. Do you want to express affinity for the Resistance? Do you want to support your loyalty to the First Order? Do you maybe just kind of want to hang out with the smuggling crowd because they look more interesting? The people you meet, the missions you undertake, the choices you make will affect the way you see this story play out — the things you’ll be invited to attend and the mission you’ll be given to do, all kinds of supporting the way you have decided you kind of want to live out this adventure.” On the Hollywood Studios excursion to Batuu “Just like on a regular cruise ship, you’re going to have that shore excursion, but this time, you’re going with a purpose. …. If you have accepted, and maybe had an affinity for one of these groups, the Resistance or the First Order or others, you may end up with different tasks and goals and perspectives on the time you spend in the land. The way that the adventure attraction experiences the land have meaning. Those stories will follow you, from the ship to the land from the land back to the ship. … You’ll be invited to do lots of cool things there on the land that help the mission.” On if those choices will affect if you get dessert “It does not. It might affect who joins you for dessert.” On Starcruiser spoilers “There is no way for you to experience everything on one journey, so there will always be things for you to discover. “Our fans are going to do what they’re going to do, and we love our fans. I hope that like any good movie or story or experience, that it doesn’t ruin it, that there aren’t spoilers for those who have not yet done it. I hope our fans will kind of understand and respect the fact that other people want surprises.” On the possibility of switching sides “There’ll be opportunities. Like I said, everything’s an invitation, never an obligation. So, if you decide that oh, I want to. … of course, you can do that. “If all you want to do is kind of sit back and watch, drink your space cocktail and watch everything play out — also totally fine. It’s still going to be an amazing experience. And if the family decides to do different things, I actually think that’s kind of fun. Because then they can come back together and kind of compare notes and kind of have that ‘What did you do? … ‘Well, you’re supporting the First Order, so I’m not going to tell you.” On hitting Starcruiser and other WDW attractions “You book your two days, two nights and that’s it. … unless you want to do it all again. … We do hope that people will make it part of a larger Walt Disney World vacation experience because it’s an addition to it. There are so many other great things about Disney World for everybody that it makes sense to combine it with a larger Walt Disney World vacation.” On creating new experiences “We have always been a company that innovates or tries to innovate. And I think this is a real innovation in immersive attraction experiences and immersive vacation experiences. So, inventing new things like that … it’s hard — but it’s fun.” Dewayne Bevil Orlando Sentinel

The Transportation Security Administration is sounding the alarm on what it’s calling a “huge problem” involving a record high number of passengers bringing firearms to the airport. View the full article

Headed to Disneyland Paris soon? There’s been a major update! Disneyland Paris ©Disney Just like the domestic Disney parks, Disneyland Paris has an accessibility program so that disabled guests can experience the attractions around the park. Now, the resort is introducing a new accessibility program, and we’ve got all the details! Beginning December 3rd, Disneyland Paris will introduce a new accessibility program so that guests with disabilities and special needs may experience the theme parks according to their own autonomy evaluation. ©Disneyland Paris Currently, the parks use disability categories to determine access to attractions. This change will allow guests to evaluate their own autonomy to determine which attractions they can comfortably experience. ©Disneyland Paris According to Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Disneyland Paris, Daniel Delcourt, “Our guests and Cast Members have always been at the heart of our approach to accessibility. Disneyland Paris is committed to listening and learning from our guests, Cast Members, and accessibility experts to develop new standards of inclusion in the French theme park industry.” ©Disney The new program puts guests in the position of determining their own level of autonomy and potential need for an accompanying careperson. The new program features changes that: Focus on guest autonomy, Increase the number of accessible attractions by revising priority and easy access conditions and evacuation procedures, Remove the requirement for disabled guests to be accompanied on attractions, And, provide a 25% discount for disabled guests presenting official disability documentation and for one potential accompanying careperson. ©Disney Disneyland Paris welcomed more than 125,000 guests with special needs in 2019 and Cast Members with disabilities now represent 5.9% of the total Cast Members at Disneyland Paris, according to the press release.

And, we have to say it, it just might have been love at first sight. Our whole team was freaking out about how gorgeous these ears are! Norway Ears The ears themselves feature an intricate Norwegian embroidery pattern with Mickeys in the design. Norway Ears The bow is a royal blue cloth that complements the pair very well. We especially like the understated flower at the center of the bow. Norway Ears The back is just as pretty with an identical design. Norway Ears And the band of the ears has Norway embroidered in a more traditional font. Check out the nature details! Norway Ears The design of these ears definitely wowed us!
