Baby, come back! Cast Members said the bucket will return on October 1st. Space 220 Space 220 has officially switched over from walk-in only to reservations!

It can feel like there are countless options when choosing your overnight accommodations for your Disney World vacation. You can stay on Disney World property at one of their dozens of resort hotels, or you can stay off property at a hotel or a vacation rental! Orlando is, after all, one of the top vacation destinations in the country, catering to all sorts of tourists with different budgets and preferences! Grand Floridian Lobby If you really want to live it up on your next Disney World vacation, then you may want to know about new luxury accommodations that are currently in the works! Orlando Business Journal has reported that Orlando-based company Darton US Holdings Inc. has filed with the county to build a seven-story, 526-room luxury resort, as well as a conference center, parking garage, and 12 villas. If approved, the resort will be situated on 30 acres of land located close to Disney World on the opposite side of Interstate 4. Source: Orlando Business Journal More details of this proposed project include approximately 12,000 square feet of office space, a nearly 2,800-square-foot retail space, and two restaurants. The hotel itself would include “a family pool and adult pool, a steakhouse restaurant, a spa, a fitness room, a children’s center, a greenhouse and more.” Disney World While the resort’s cost was not included in this proposal, industry data estimates that the total project could cost approximately $1 billion, with around 40% of that amount dedicated to the hotel alone. The project’s timeline also was not given, but it was noted that this resort would be built in one phase. Cinderella Castle We’ll keep an eye on any developments related to this new luxury resort and we will let you know if we learn about any new information!

Disney World’s 50th Anniversary means we get to say hello to some new offerings…but it also means we have to say some goodbyes. EPCOT Forever Fireworks In preparation for the start of Harmonious (the much-anticipated new EPCOT nighttime show), we have to say goodbye to EPCOT Forever. EPCOT Forever was intended to serve as a placeholder as EPCOT transitioned from Illuminations to Harmonious, and now the final night of the show has arrived. EPCOT Forever takes place over World Showcase Lagoon, as the torches around World Showcase go out. EPCOT Forever Right at the beginning of the show, you’ll hear Walt Disney’s voice talking about EPCOT. It instantly sets the mood for this show, which is centered on EPCOT’s past, present, and future. EPCOT Forever The next several minutes are a fun trip down memory lane for those who lived through or simply love the songs of the old EPCOT Center. During the show, you’ll hear snippets from a whole bunch of music that’ll hit you with a wave of nostalgia including Universe of Energy, Listen to the Land, music from Horizons, and (of course) Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit! EPCOT Forever In its original form, the show featured some gorgeous fireworks, lasers, and seriously impressive “kites” that flew through the sky, though some of that has since been modified. EPCOT Forever Check out our video below from when EPCOT Forever returned to the park earlier this year! If you’re a big fan of EPCOT’s older attractions (many of which are now gone) and that classic EPCOT Center music, then this show might have been a favorite of yours. For those who loved the show, it’s a bittersweet evening as EPCOT Forever fades away to make room for a brand new fireworks spectacular. YAY! If you’re hoping to catch the very last show of EPCOT Forever before Harmonious takes over, head to EPCOT tonight (September 28th) to catch the performance at 9PM ET. And remember that while Harmonious will officially debut on October 1st, you can catch it in EPCOT starting tomorrow, September 29th! You’ll want to stick around DFB during the coming days as we cover EVERYTHING there is to see at Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration! Stay tuned! Want to learn more about Harmonious?

Tomorrow, Harmonious, EPCOT’s new fireworks show, will soft open, ahead of its big debut on October 1st. Harmonious Barges While many are surely excited to see the new show, quite a few people have complained about how these barges obstruct the view across World Showcase Lagoon. We’ve even called it “EPCOT’s ugliest transformation,” and we have a feeling some people out there might agree with that description. But today, as we walked past these barges, we got a peek at one thing that could make them look a bit better! While the barges will be utilized for Harmonious at night, Disney had previously announced that the barges would serve as fountains during the day. Harmonious Barges Earlier today, as we were walking around World Showcase Lagoon, we spotted some of those water effects being tested on the barges! Water Effects Being Tested These effects seem to mirror what was shown in Disney’s concept art for the daytime fountains, at least partially. But, it is possible that these effects are being tested for the nighttime show. Fountains Being Tested on the Harmonious Barges It was interesting to see the fountains being tested. What do you think? If Disney does ultimately run fountains on these barges during the day, would the fountains make the barges less of an eyesore? Tell us in the comments! Barges Testing We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates about these barges and any other news around Disney World. Be sure to check back with us for more updates.

If you’re heading to Disney World for the 50th Anniversary, you’ll have TONS of new items to shop all around the parks and resorts. So much to shop for! Last week, two new collections landed in The Emporium at Magic Kingdom, bringing with them over 100 new products! Now, there’s another new series of items in Disney Springs — the highly-anticipated Vault Collection. Here inside Marketplace Co-Op, you’ll notice that there’s an entirely new display for the Vault Collection, featuring plenty of fun nods to Walt Disney World history and what things were like in 1971. It’s quite an immersive shopping experience! Let’s go and see the collection!! But once you get past the awesome displays and start looking at the new collection, you’ll likely have a hard time resisting making a purchase! Just in the time that we were in the store, the new items were very popular. The Vault Collection And what exactly is included in this new collection? Well, buckle up…because it’s a LOT! There’s so much to see! First up there’s the new Mickey Mouse Loungefly Backpack! It comes with a detachable small purse on the front of the bag. Check out the new Loungefly! You can pick this up for $95 — you’re getting two bags for the price of one. This little bag is detachable. The Minnie Mouse Vintage Plush may be a favorite of collectors. She’s wearing her original outfit! She’s cute! You can purchase her for $49.99. Don’t forget to check out the history of the plush on the back of the box. There’s a lot of information on the box. These throwback Minnie ears will remind you of those painful headbands that we used to wear as children with the plastic prongs. There’s just something charming about the little red bow, though! These are $24.99. Would you wear the ears? If you really want to stand out with your headgear, try this awesome Mickey Mouse Plush Visor for $24.99! Okay, this is amazing. And then there’s something even more classic than Minnie ears — the Mickey Mouse Ear Hat. You can pick up this vintage version for $19.99. It’s a classic choice. If you’re looking for something relaxed to wear to the theme parks, then try out this Denim Mickey Mouse Baseball Cap for $27.99. Slightly less bold of a style choice. Moving on to the shirts, we’ve got a new yellow ringer tee with Mickey Mouse in front of the state of Florida. This will be a great addition to your Disney t-shirt collection for $36.99. That’s definitely classic. Or maybe yellow isn’t your color? No matter! You can still get this white ringer tee — in both men’s and women’s styles — for $36.99 as well. They have multiple ringer tee designs. Also $36.99 is this more traditional white t-shirt. It’s simple and straightforward, with just Mickey Mouse and Cinderella Castle. This will match almost anything! And for those colder winter months, pick up the new vintage gray sweatshirt for $49.99 For the rare Florida winters. We love the extra details on this one! It has a pennant on the sleeve. Two classic Disney rides were also represented in shirt form. First, there’s the “it’s a small world” design… It has the little puppet children on the front! …and then there’s the tee for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! It may be gone from Magic Kingdom, but it’s not forgotten. Buy either of these for $36.99. Gone, but not forgotten! Finally, the last shirt available is the Walt Disney World Preview Center Baseball Tee! Honoring a big point in Disney history, this shirt is for sale for $39.99. Who remembers the preview center?! And speaking of the Preview Center, don’t forget to grab the matching mug for $14.99. And a matching mug! If you like the mug, there are plenty of other kitchen items as well. You can grab a salt and pepper shaker set for $19.99… These will look great on your table. …or this vintage lunch box for $24.99. Okay, that’s adorable. Isn’t that fun?! Really takes you back to the old days of a school lunchroom. The other side has the Country Bears! You can check out this small Cinderella Castle plate for $14.99. Yellow must’ve been a popular color! If that’s not big enough, there’s a much larger Mickey Mouse platter for $24.99. This one is much larger. Need new placemats? This one has the Walt Disney World logo on one side… Say hey to Mickey and his pals! …and a park map on the other! You can take it home for $7.99. How neat! And it wouldn’t be a new collection without a matching MagicBand. In fact, this time we got TWO! These bands are limited release and $39.99 each. What do you think? This classic kids’ hat for $19.99 is extra fun — it has Cinderella Castle and some assorted Disney characters. Check out the hat for kids! And when was the last time you saw a backscratcher for sale at Disney World?! This one is $12.99. There’s a backscratcher! For the collectors, there’s a vintage spoon and thimble set that you can buy for $19.99. It’s really pretty. Or, if you’re a collector of bells, this Disney World design is stunning! It’s just $14.99. What about a Disney World bell? Show off your love for Disney in your home decor with this vintage wall hanger. It has Mickey and Minnie on the design and costs $29.99. Would you hang this on your wall? We think Disney park-goers will really appreciate this foldable map for $7.99. What a cool souvenir to have! It’s an old park map, that’s a cool collectible. And if you’re looking to deck out some of your belongings with Disney accessories, try this keychain set for $19.99. Multiple keychains in the set. There’s also a set of small buttons for $14.99. Which one is your favorite? Now, you better hold on to your britches, because we have quite a few new pins to show! First up, there’s a trio of pins featuring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy for $17.99. They’re adorable — can we get all of the gang in pin form?! There’s also a lunch box pin for $17.99… It matches the real one. …a pin that’s made to look like a hand fan… Classy! …and a set of two backscratcher pins for $19.99. We’re really digging the backscratchers. For more classic designs, there’s a Walt Disney World Castle Pin… It opens up to reveal the castle. …a design that looks out over Magic Kingdom and the Contemporary… The sailboat is cool, for sure. …and one that matches the other items with Mickey Mouse in front of the state of Florida! They’re using this logo a lot. There are also some creative ones, like this autograph book with Tinker Bell’s signature inside! (It’s $17.99) How sweet! Or you can buy the spoon and thimble set in pin form as well. It’ll cost you $19.99. The spoon and thimble pins are really unique. And the last individual pin is made to look like a license plate — how neat! A mini license plate, that’s fun! There are also two patch-and-pin sets that cost $19.99 each. The first features a Walt Disney World patch with a Mickey Mouse pin to go along with it. Classic Mickey and the classic logo. The second is a Mickey Mouse patch with an ear hat pin. These would look really great on a backpack or a denim jacket! This reminds us of ‘The Mickey Mouse Club’ If you want just patches, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse each have their own designs.

There’s a whole lot to experience at the 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Between the food booths, merchandise, and activities, you could spend days just checking out everything there is to see throughout EPCOT. We’ve already shared FULL reviews of every single booth at this year’s festival (save for the booths that haven’t opened yet). But now, a brand NEW dish has arrived at one of the food booths and we just had to go check it out! Over at Brew-Wing at the EPCOT Experience, you can find a whole bunch of chicken wings in a variety of flavors, as well as some beers and other drinks. But, recently, this spot became home to a brand new dish — Brussels Sprouts! Brussels Sprouts! These are listed on the “snacks” portion of the menu and are described as Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Buffalo Sauce. Our Brussels also featured blue cheese crumbles and a ranch drizzle. Brew-Wing Updated Menu The Brussels sprouts are made to order, so they take about 5 minutes to come out of the kitchen. That’s just something to keep in mind as you go to order them! Brussels sprouts might not have been one of the first dishes you would have thought of ordering at the Food & Wine Festival, but these were delicious!! They were cooked perfectly — evenly cooked throughout with a nice crunch. There weren’t any soggy pieces, which can be a concern with Brussels sprouts sometimes, so that was nice! Would You Order the Brussels Sprouts? While they did have a nice crunch, we wouldn’t exactly consider them to be “crispy.” We do think that if they had a crispier outside layer, these would be even better. But, truthfully, they’re quite wonderful just the way they are! So Yummy! The ranch drizzle and blue cheese crumble added a nice creaminess to the dish, and helped cut down some of the heat from the buffalo sauce. The buffalo was a nice medium level — not overly spicy, but enough of a kick to give the dish a good flavor. If you are a big Brussels sprouts fan and you like buffalo sauce, we have a feeling this dish will be a total win for you! A Close-Up Look at the Deliciousness Even if you aren’t a huge blue cheese fan, we still think you could enjoy this dish. The blue cheese mostly just added some creaminess — it wasn’t really strong in terms of blue cheese flavor. If you really dislike buffalo sauce though, this won’t be a good pick for you as that is a very prominent flavor. If you want to give these Brussels sprouts a try, you can head over to Brew-Wing right now and snatch them up for $5. What a Delicious Surprise You never know what new dishes might pop up at the Food & Wine Festival, so we’ll keep an eye out for more updates! Heading to the Food & Wine Festival?

There is SO much going on at Disney World. It turns out that getting the resort ready for the big 50th Anniversary celebration is a LOT of work! Main Street Confectionery So far, Cinderella Castle has undergone quite the transformation, Fantasyland has gotten a golden glow-up, and gold statues have popped up in the parks. The Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom has also been closed for some renovations, but now (a day ahead of its set reopening date) the Confectionery has opened its doors and we got a peek inside! That’s right folks — the construction walls are down and the wonderful smell of candy and baked goods once again flows freely through the Main Street Confectionery! Main Street Confectionery We’ve already shared a look at the outside of the Confectionery, but we couldn’t help but share more photos of this wonderful spot’s exterior. Main Street Confectionery The windows of the Confectionery now feature the Confectionery logo as well as signs indicating it is The Home of Mars Candy Treats.

A lot is back to normal in the Disney theme parks, but we’re still wondering about some fan-favorite offerings. ©Disney Disneyland certainly had some modifications to holiday celebrations last year, which is why we were so excited to hear that holiday parades and fireworks WILL return this year! Now, the return of Candelight Processional to Disney World has us wondering if the event will come back to Disneyland too… It looks like Candlelight Processional just might return to Disneyland this year! Recently, the Walt Disney Company filed a permit with the City of Anaheim for “Candlelight Procession Installation.” Eek! © The Orange County Register The permit specifically calls for work on Main Street Train Station to install outdoor steel platforms, an outdoor wheelchair lift, an accessible platform, show light towers and audio towers, two generators, movable folding viewing seats, and wheelchair spaces with companion seats. ©Disney Disney has not officially announced the return of Candlelight Processional to Disneyland Park but this permit certainly seems to suggest that the much-loved tradition will resume this year. ©Disney We’ll be keeping a close eye out for an official announcement, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest holiday updates!

This Friday is Disney World’s big 50th anniversary! Earidescence is everywhere! The Most Magical Place on Earth is almost half a century old, and Disney is ready to celebrate with things like a new cavalcade, attraction, fireworks, and more! Something really exciting about the anniversary is all of the special merchandise being released. We’ve already seen 2 collections debut in Disney World, and now, another 50th anniversary collection is HERE! The Vault Collection is now available at the Marketplace Co-Op at Disney Springs! Let’s go and see the collection!! Disney said previously that the displays for the Vault Collection would be museum-like and would invite shoppers to learn about original Walt Disney World Resort attractions and hotels. The displays are supposed to “take you back to 1971 the moment you walk through the doors,” and we think they definitely accomplished that! The details! Included among the merchandise is info about the park opening 50 years ago. Shopping AND learning! We also get to see some vintage pictures and old tickets from when the park opened! These displays are so cool! One photo shows the construction on Cinderella Castle and Roy Disney! History! You can also see them working on Jungle Cruise and Fantasyland! It looks a bit different now! Behind one of the registers is an original park map showing what Magic Kingdom looked like back in 1971. Such a neat shopping experience! In one display, there is a glass encasing original park tickets, listing all of the Opening Day Attractions. Many aren’t there anymore, but a few very popular rides are still around and thriving! Some of those rides have become absolutely iconic The displays fit in perfectly with the merchandise. Disney history We would definitely agree that Disney is making 50 look magical! This collection is teaching us so much! There are also photo opportunities with vintage props like this ride vehicle from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! HOW COOL! Orange Bird is getting some love, too with this display and photo op of a replica sculpture! Orange Bird is 50?!

Disney World has made changes to its hotels over the past several years. Recently Disney debuted newly re-themed Moana guest rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, but there’s also been quite a lot going on at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Disney’s Contemporary Resort Recently, the hotel debuted a newly refurbished lobby area with Mary Blair-inspired designs and soon a brand new restaurant, Steakhouse 71, will open at the hotel for the 50th Anniversary. Today, we’re at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to take a look at another construction project that’s been going on. The resort’s rooms have recently been re-themed to Pixar’s The Incredibles and now we’re sharing a FULL tour of one of these updated rooms with you! We got a first look at these rooms over the summer, but we were thrilled to finally check these out in person! Before we even get to the inside of the room though, let’s check out the hallway areas, as the theming truly starts there. Disney’s Contemporary Resort In the hallways leading to the refurbished rooms, you’ll find some bright red and orange carpet with a variety of circles and other shapes, giving it a futuristic but still colorful look. A Look at the Carpet The hallways are also lined with new artwork featuring the famous super family from The Incredibles! Some New Art As you’re walking to your room, you may pass by artwork of Mr. Incredible… Hey, It’s Mr. Incredible! …Mrs. Incredible (Elastigirl)… Elastigirl …and more. The Incredibles And yes, those are monorails featured in some of the artwork! Some of the Art Disney had previously noted that the rooms would “blend a sleek Monorail motif with some favorite characters from Pixar Animation Studios’ “Incredibles” films,” and it seems that theme is carried out throughout the hallway spaces as well. A Peek at the Artwork The artwork features more of those shapes and sharp angles built into them, mixing futuristic design with vibrant color schemes. Along the hallway, you’ll also find stripes of colors, very much in the shape of a monorail stripe. A Look at the Hallway Once you’ve made your way down the hallway and over to your room, it’s time to check out the Incredible theming inside. There’s also some artwork in this space showing the many talents and versions of Jack-Jack, including a Jack-Jack dressed as Edna Mode! Towels And finally, we get to the main room space! The Room In the room you’ll find 2 beds on elevated platforms. There’s plenty of space underneath the beds for storage of your backpacks, luggage, etc. And the angled legs give it a retro/modern feel. The Bed The beds have a grey backboard behind them… The Beds …and pillows that feature the Incredibles’ masks in a variety of colors. Pillows The beds themselves are quite plain in terms of their comforters and pillows — both just white in color. But the pillows add that small pop of color. Beds Near the beds you’ll find chargers — both traditional and USB ports — making it easy to charge your phones, cameras, etc. right next to your bed as you’re getting ready to sleep. Chargers Near the Beds One of our favorite details in the room are the lamps that sit between the beds! The Lamp These lamps again feature that monorail design, combining the Incredibles theme with the Contemporary’s focus on the monorail. Another Look at the Lamp Between the beds you’ll find a central nightstand. Here’s a Look at the Beds Even if you never store anything in the nightstand at all, this is one feature you’ll want to open! Nightstand When you open the drawer for the nightstand, you’ll find some adorable details, including images of a to-do list, a familiar math book, cookie crumbles, sunglasses, and a very special remote! Inside the Nightstand On the side of the room opposite the beds, you’ll find a TV, a couch, and some tables. TV and Couch Space And peep that futuristic looking lamp in the corner! What a Fun Lamp! The lamp has such a fun design, adding again to that sort-of modern yet retro design. The Lamp The couch itself folds down so it can be utilized as another sleeping space in the room. Folded Down Couch That is a nice added feature for those traveling with a larger group. The Couch To one side of the couch, you’ll find a small table with the remote for the TV, details about Disney’s enhanced hotel cleaning process, and more. Enhanced Cleaning Details and More Underneath the table is an ottoman you can pull out for additional seating in the room.

Disney World has a lot of new merchandise for the 50th Anniversary in the theme parks already. 50th Anniversary Merchandise But there’s still MORE to come! An entirely new collection with a vintage Disney World theme just arrived at Disney Springs. We’re there now to check out all the new items, which includes a couple of very retro Mickey and Minnie ears. There are several different 50th Anniversary merchandise collections coming to Disney World, including the Celebration Collection, Disney Castle Collection, and EARidescent Collection, which we’ve already seen at least some merchandise from in the parks. Celebration Ears The newest items are from the Disney Vault Collection, which features retro designs and items from Disney World’s past. You can find it now at the Marketplace Co-Op in Disney Springs! We headed in to take a look. Co-Op Two items from this collection have designs inspired by the original Mickey Mouse Ear Hat and the original Minnie Mouse Ears Headband. The Minnie Mouse Ear Headband is made of all plastic, except for the classic polka-dotted bow. Minnie Mouse Ear Headband The ears are bigger than most Minnie headbands that we see in the parks now. Big ears! And the plastic headband has little teeth to keep it secured on your head. We can remember lots of headaches from these kinds of headbands when we were younger! Plastic headband You can find these ears at the Marketplace Co-Op for $24.99. Alongside them, you’ll also see the vintage-inspired Mickey Ears Hat. Mickey Ears Hat The hat and ears are dark gray, with a classic Disney World logo on the front. A closer look at the logo The design is old-fashioned for these hats, with the large ears on either side pointing upward. Mickey Hat The hats have a thin strap that you can put under your chin to keep them on. You’ll find these at the Marketplace Co-Op for $19.99 each. Mickey Ears So what do you think? Are these ears a classic win or should they have stayed in 1971? Keep following DFB for more updates on new Disney World merchandise.

At Disney, we’ve always pushed the boundaries of technology and innovation to entertain our guests and create experiences that are unlike anything else in the world. Walt Disney himself was absolutely fascinated by the technology of his day, and by the possibilities it represented for the movie and theme park industries.

Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is officially less than a week away! The 50th is Almost Here We’ve already seen TONS of 50th Anniversary merchandise, new golden statues scattered throughout the parks, and much more. We also have a full breakdown of everything that will be happening on October 1st, which marks the start of the celebration. But, some things won’t arrive in time for the big October 1st date. Note: Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations will last 18 months! So, all of these things will arrive during the celebrations, but they won’t arrive on the very first day (October 1st). 1 — Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties Three NEW fireworks dessert parties have been announced for Magic Kingdom, and reservations for these parties are now open. But, if you’re hoping to enjoy one of these dessert parties on Disney Enchantment‘s debut night, you’ll be out of luck! ©Disney Though Disney Enchantment itself, Magic Kingdom’s new fireworks show, will debut on October 1st, the three Magic Kingdom fireworks dessert parties won’t start until October 3rd. ©Disney But, if you are okay with eating dessert at home, you can watch Disney Enchantment before it even debuts via a special live stream! Click here to see more about the reservations for Magic Kingdom’s fireworks dessert parties. 2 — New Dining Experience at California Grill Starting October 1st, California Grill, the restaurant located at the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, will transform into a special 50th anniversary dining experience. California Grill As part of this special offering, California Grill will offer a prix fixe menu that features past favorites and new creations. The 3-course meal will include 1 appetizer selection, 1 entree selection, and 1 dessert. Some of the options on the menu include The California Grill Sushi Classics Trio, House-Made Artisanal-Style Duck á la Orange Pizza, and other offerings. ©Disney Reservations for this special dining experience are open now, but you won’t be able to enjoy it on October 1st. The special prix fixe menu will come to California Grill on October 3rd. Having trouble booking the 50th Anniversary dining experience at California Grill? You’re not alone! 3 — Fireworks Dining Party at Disney’s Contemporary Resort The special prix fixe menu isn’t the only special dining experience coming to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. In the private rooms at California Grill, guests will be able to enjoy Celebration at the Top: 50th Flavors & Fireworks. Fireworks from California Grill During this experience, guests will get to munch on sushi and small plates, drink some specialty creations, and (of course) get a spectacular view of the fireworks from a private viewing area. ©Disney Reservations for this experience are already open, but you won’t be able to check it out until October 2nd. Click here to see more about this fireworks dining party! 4 — Extended Evening Hours Early Theme Park Entry (which allows all Disney World hotel guests and guests at select other hotels to enter any park 30 minutes early) has already started a bit early for Disney World’s hotel guests. But if you’re staying at a Disney World Deluxe Resort or Disney World Deluxe Villa, you can also get extra time in select parks on select nights. EPCOT That extra time won’t start on October 1st though. Guests staying at Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas won’t be able to spend extra time in the parks at night until October 4th. Click here to see the full schedule for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. 5 — New Coco Scene at Mickey’s PhilharMagic Earlier this year, Disney announced that a new Coco-inspired scene would make its way to Mickey’s PhilharMagic in Disney California Adventure Park, Disneyland Paris, and Disney World. We already got a look at the scene when it was added in Disney California Adventure Park’s version of the ride. ©Disney But, the scene won’t arrive in Disney World in time for the kickoff of the big 50th celebrations. Instead, the new scene won’t debut in Disney World until November 12th. And the show will close for refurbishment on October 11th. So, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer to go “Un Poco Loco!” Other attractions that previously were set to open in time for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, like the PLAY! Pavilion, TRON Lightcycle Run, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have been delayed and won’t open by October 1st. Disney has not yet announced new opening timelines for these attractions. Click here to see a video of the new Coco scene! 6 — Select 50th Anniversary Novelty Items Recently, Disney shared that 150+ new food and drink items would be coming to Disney World as part of the 50th Anniversary. In that release, Disney shared that specialty popcorn buckets, mugs, and sippers will also be available on October 1st, but not ALL of the novelty items will be available on the first day. Disney World 50th Anniversary Popcorn Bucket Disney’s press release specifically notes, “Novelty items developed for the celebration, including popcorn buckets, mugs, and sippers, are available beginning Oct. 1, 2021, and continue to roll out across Walt Disney World throughout ‘The World’s Most Magical Celebration.'” So, it seems more items will continue to roll out across Disney World throughout the 18-month celebration. We can’t wait to see what items will get released in the future. Click here to see details about what new food and drink items will arrive in Disney World for the 50th anniversary! 7 — Select 50th Anniversary Merchandise We’ve already seen quite a bit of 50th Anniversary merchandise released in the parks — over 100(!!) new items actually. But, more is on the way! In late October, Disney’s EARidescent Collection is set to be released. ©Disney And if you’re excited about the new Luxe Logo Collection, you’ll have to wait until November to get your hands on that! ©Disney It’s just enough time to give your wallet a bit of a break between shopping sprees. Click here to get a look at the EARidescent and Luxe Logo collections! Though October 1st is the big day, it looks like there will be plenty to enjoy on the days and months that follow it.

Disney World frequently closes down parts of rides, attractions, and other areas for small refurbishments or updates. Construction walls in Frontierland We’ve seen some major refurbishments at attractions like the Hall of Presidents or the Main Street Confectionery (which is reopening soon!). Recently, one of our favorite places to grab a snack in Magic Kingdom was closed for quite a while, but now we’ve got an exciting update! The Spring Roll Cart at Magic Kingdom has been closed for over two weeks, but today we saw that it’s finally reopened! There are Cast Members there! When we asked a Cast Member about why it was closed for so long, they told us that they weren’t sure on the specifics, but it looked like some small updates had happened behind the counter. It’s back! When we stopped by at 10AM this morning, the cart hadn’t opened yet, but there were Cast Members working behind the counter, and the display case was stocked with Spring Rolls ready to go. Spring Rolls The menu looks the same as it did before closing, with options for 2 Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, 2 Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls, or one of each for $9.50. Menu We’re so excited to finally have a crispy, delicious spring roll here again soon! They’re coming! Although the cart hadn’t opened yet when we were there, there was already a line forming in front. Everyone is ready for some spring rolls If you’re in the Magic Kingdom and looking for a tasty snack, you can find the Spring Roll Cart just before the entrance to Adventureland on the right-hand side.
