One of the joys of living near Disney World are those quick one-night trips! Booking a short stay at a hotel and hitting up the parks for a day or two is a fun time for folks who live nearby. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge However, those quick one-off trips are about to get a lot harder for most of the remainder of the year. For hotel stays from October 9th to (at LEAST!) December 4th, you will NOT be able to book a one-night stay at Disney World. That means if you’re heading to Disney World at any time between those dates, you’ll have to book at least two nights from here on out on these dates. Disney’s Beach Club Resort Right now, if you try to book a one-night stay at a Disney World hotel through the majority of the rest of the year, it will come up empty for you. Change it to two night and you’ll find lots of options most nights. We spoke with Cast Members and got confirmation that this is an official policy already in effect. There are no one-night stays until December 5th! ©Disney The Cast Member we spoke with said this has been in effect since October 9th and that it will run until at LEAST December 4th, but with the possibility of extending longer. Seeing as how the weeks following that are some of the busiest of the year for Disney World, it’s entirely possible it will go longer, but will keep you posted as we learn more.

One of the ways Disney accommodates guests with special needs is through their Disability Access Service, or DAS for short. Normally, guests would visit Guest Relations in the theme parks in order to sign up for DAS, which allows guests who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in conventional queues the ability to to book return times for rides and attractions. Guest Relations We learned earlier this year that Disney would be launching new services to make the DAS experience more convenient, including an online chat feature and the ability to pre-register. Starting today, guests looking to add DAS to their upcoming vacation may do so ahead of their trip online, saving valuable time once in the parks! Disney World’s website has updated its Disability Access Service page, indicating that guests may now pre-register for the service. Now, there are two ways you can sign up for DAS: online ahead of your visit via live video chat, or day-of at Guest Relations locations in the theme parks. Note that at this time, the live video chats are only available in English. Slinky Dog Dash Guests may register for DAS in advance between 2 to 30 days ahead of a park visit. Once acquired, DAS is valid for up to 60 days. Once it’s acquired, guests may also begin to book attraction return times. If you sign up for DAS ahead of your visit, you may book up to two one-hour return windows between 2 and 30 days prior to a park visit. These 2 pre-arrival reservations are in addition to the return times you can book during the day of your park visit. Spaceship Earth You may also continue to sign up for DAS in-person at Guest Relations once you enter the park. Another new feature coming this fall for guests using the DAS program includes the ability to book, redeem, change or cancel DAS return times using the My Disney Experience app via a smart phone or other smart device. We’ll be on the lookout for this feature with the arrival of Genie+. Guest Relations building at Hollywood Studios We’ll keep an eye on Disney World’s DAS program in the coming weeks, especially with the launch of Genie+ set to take place on October 19th. Be sure to follow along for all of the latest information to help plan your next Disney World vacation!

Captain Jack Sparrow is absolutely iconic, there’s no doubt about that! ©Disney He is the heart and soul of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, largely due to Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the character. This lead to a large film franchise and him being added into the famous ride at the Disney parks. But, what if someone else had played Jack Sparrow? Well, that almost happened, and you’ll never guess which famous actor turned down the role! Ready for it? Robert De Niro was originally offered the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, according to Screen Rant. Uh, YEAH. Are you as shocked as we are?! Because WHAT?! ©ScreenRant.com De Niro turned down the role because he thought the movie (The Curse of the Black Pearl) was going to be a huge flop. Well, jokes on him, because the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have become one of the most successful movie franchises of ALL TIME. The 2nd and 4th movies have earned over a billion dollars at the box office worldwide — we’re talking Marvel numbers here, people! ©Disney In a way, we have De Niro to partially thank for the success of the movie(s), because him turning down the role lead to it being offered to Johnny Depp. And honestly, the movie might have been a flop if De Niro had taken the role, because although he is a great actor, we don’t think he would’ve portrayed Jack Sparrow in the same amazingly absurd way! Like…can you picture Jack Sparrow with a New York accent? “Miss Swan — are you talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me?” Yikes! ©Disney But, that’s not the only crazy part of this story. Guess who else was also considered for the role? Christopher Walken and Jim Carrey both declined Jack Sparrow before it was offered to Depp, according to Screen Rant. Carrey couldn’t do it because the shooting schedule interfered with another movie he was filming — Bruce Almighty. ©Disney We don’t know about you, but picturing Walken and his distinct voice as Jack Sparrow is comical — not in a good way — and Carrey as Sparrow would have been…scary. We could see him going way too over-the-top with the character! Really, what was Disney thinking with those choices?! ©Disney Is this blowing your mind?! It’s hard to picture anyone else as Jack Sparrow because Depp’s performance was remarkable. He was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, and he won Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. It has become one of Depp’s most well-known roles, if not THE most well-known role. ©Disney So, we guess we have De Niro’s doubts and Bruce Almighty to thank for the iconic Jack Sparrow. And we are thankful, because having Robert De Niro pop out of a barrel in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World would be…a lot.

The following review is based on DFB Reader Jill I.’s visit to Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii. She was kind enough to share her thoughts and photos on some Halloween treats and more snacks that you can grab at the tropical resort. Disney’s Aulani is a resort located on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu! ©Disney While at Aulani, you can visit the spa, say “hello” to some fun Disney characters, and (of course) grab some delicious treats. But, if you want to get some extra special (and spooky) snacks, now is the time to visit! Recently, one of our fantastic DFB readers, Jill I, visited Disney’s Aulani Resort and got an array of Halloween-themed treats as well as a Dole whip Creation. Jill was kind enough to send over some great photos and notes on their thoughts about these snacks. First, we’ve got the Cookies ‘n’ Cream Red Velvet Cupcake. This cupcake is made of a Red Velvet Cake with Cookies ‘n’ Cream Frosting, Sprinkles, other decorations including some chocolate pieces with pumpkins and sugar spiders, as well as a White Chocolate Vampire Mickey Topper. You can find this treat over at Ulu Cafe! Spooky! Jill shared that the cake portion they had was a little bit on the dry side, but the cookies ‘n’ cream frosting on top was similar to a cream cheese frosting and was pretty delicious! A Peek Inside Next up is the Pumpkin S’mores Cupcake, which features a Pumpkin Spice Cake, Chocolate Ganache Filling, Toasted Marshmallow Topping, and a Chocolate Mickey Pumpkin Topper. You can find this treat over at Ulu Cafe as well! Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice According to Jill, the cake paired well with the chocolate ganache filling. This cake was more moist than the previous one, making this a tasty treat. Would You Eat This Cupcake? Finally, there’s a non-Halloween treat — the Minnie Dole Whip Waffle Bowl. This is made of a Dole Whip with a Waffle Bowl and Chocolate Minnie Topper from Little Opihi’s Beachside Kiosk. You can get vanilla, watermelon, pineapple, or a swirl of two flavors for your Dole Whip (the combination pictured before is a watermelon-pineapple swirl!). Dole Whip Our experience with watermelon Dole Whip in Disney World has been…interesting. Sometimes it has tasted artificial, sometimes it’s tasted like bubble gum — it’s been quite the ride. So, how does it taste in this treat? Well, Jill shared that they felt this swirl was delicious! Maybe watermelon Dole Whip just tastes better in Hawaii! Plus the waffle bowl was tasty too. Jill also noted that the waffle bowl stayed crisp and didn’t get too soggy, which was great! A huge thank you to Jill for reaching out to us with this information and fantastic photos.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Over the years, we’ve seen Disney create some pretty scary things. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is STILL scaring guests in Disneyland! ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter at Magic Kingdom was nightmare-inducing, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is still making children cry at Disneyland to this day. And Disney movies like The Black Cauldron, Don’t Look Under the Bed, and Mr. Boogedy are definitely “one-and-done” for us…even as adults. But today, we have something new to add to our growing list of not-so-irrational Disney fears — some new jewelry on shopDisney! Confused? Just wait until you see the pictures! These Evil Queen Earrings by CRISLU may look harmless, but when you take a second glance, it almost looks as if there’s a face inside the diamond. A really scary face. ©Disney Do you see it? The creepy pointed eyes and sharp-edged mouth that just screams “villain who’s going to try and poison you?” If you don’t, consider yourself lucky…because we’ll never be able to unsee it. ©Disney If you really want these earrings to haunt your nightmares, you can buy them for $125. Enjoy your demon jewelry. Click Here to Shop the Evil Queen Earrings! And also terrifying, but for a completely different reason, is the set of Ursula Earrings by CRISLU. The problem with these is that we DON’T see a face in them, and somehow that’s just as scary! ©Disney Hear us out — Disney characters (even villains!) are meant to have faces. Sea witches are meant to have faces. Imagining Ursula chasing us through the ocean is already spooky enough, but remove her FACE and it gets 10 times worse. Now all you can hear is her evil cackling laugh…but you have no idea where it’s coming from because she doesn’t have a mouth. ©Disney If that idea doesn’t make you want to avoid all bodies of water for the next six months, then congratulations, you’re brave enough to own these earrings. (But you’ll still need to shell out the $125 it takes to buy them!) Click Here to Shop the Ursula Earrings!

Turns out Anthony González has a lot in common with Miguel, the character to whom he lends his voice in Disney and Pixar’s “Coco”! Anthony has grown up quite a bit since the film’s release in 2017, but his love for singing has not changed; and if Miguel taught Anthony anything, it’s to seize his moment! During his family’s visit to Walt Disney World Resort last week, guests were delighted with a surprise performance by Anthony and Mariachi Cobre at EPCOT with beloved songs from the film such as “Un Poco Loco,” “Remember Me,” and “The World es Mi Familia.”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/Hp5SktsRcpkView the full article

Disney World is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in a BIG way. 50th Anniversary Bus There are new shows, rides, merchandise, and (our personal favorite) LOTS of snacks and treats that have all debuted with the start of the 50th Anniversary festivities. Disney World transportation even got in on the action with some decorated monorails, Skyliners, and buses. But the 50th Anniversary-themed bus isn’t the only one that gets to celebrate the big occasion! In Disney World, you might be lucky enough to step aboard a bus that’s gotten a complete 50th Anniversary makeover in terms of its outdoor design… 50th Anniversary Bus …but, that doesn’t mean that Disney World’s other buses can’t get in on the 50th Anniversary fun too! Recently, we noticed that a lot of Disney buses have been putting up special 50th anniversary messages on their destination signs. The messages we saw celebrated 50 years of different Disney World fun! For example, one bus noted that it was celebrating 50 years of Mickey ears. We <3 Mickey Ears We also spotted one that was celebrating 50 years of castle proposals (which just makes our hearts happy). Too cute Some of the buses had resort-themed messages, like this bus heading to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, which was celebrating 50 years of luaus. Celebrating Luaus Another bus, this one heading to Disney’s Pop Century Resort, was celebrating 50 years of yesterdays and tomorrows. That’s a cute, subtle nod to Pop’s theme of celebrating big things from the past. Yesterdays and Tomorrows One bus going to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort was celebrating 50 years of under the sea… Under the Sea …and one heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge was celebrating 50 years of jungle jokes. Jungle Jokes The messages are a really cute way to bring a little more celebration into your Disney World trip!

There are some merchandise items in Disney World that just seem to be EXTRA popular. Starbucks cups are incredibly popular in the parks! Special collections, limited edition offerings, or even things as simple as Minnie ears. One that tends to FLY off the shelves is Starbucks tumblers — and today there’s a brand-new design available! This new tumbler is part of the Vault Collection that you can currently find at Main Street Cinema in Magic Kingdom and Marketplace Co-op in Disney Springs. It wasn’t with the original group of merchandise, so we were excited to spot it today! There’s a brand new tumbler! The front of the cup features Mickey Mouse (as he originally appeared at Disney World in 1971) along with the four park icons. The dark blue and golden yellow color scheme matches perfectly with the rest of the Vault Collection. Isn’t that a cool design?! While we were in Main Street Cinema, there were still quite a few available. However, considering how popular these things are, we honestly don’t expect there to be any left at the end of the day.
