We’re about to have a week FULL of new treats in Disney World as they begin to debut over 150 treats (!!!) in honor of the 50th anniversary! Magic Kingdom Entrance While we will definitely need to wear our stretchy pants on October 1st for our snack crawl, you don’t even have to be in the parks to celebrate with your favorite treats!

And, now it has officially arrived in Disney World with gorgeous food photos, menu booklets, and (of course) recipes your tastebuds will love! Deliciously Disney: Walt Disney World Recipe Book The version we found in Disney Springs had a sticker that indicated that the Delicious Disney: Walt Disney World Book had been signed, most likely by the authors who created 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.

We’re getting buried in Disney World 50th Anniversary merchandise over here, y’all! New 50th Merchandise at World of Disney in Disney Springs There’s a TON of themed items over at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom, and you can find souvenirs for the 50th all over the parks. But Disney isn’t the only one getting in on the 50th merchandise mayhem: Starbucks has also started to sell 50th-themed things in the Disney parks! Today we found even MORE new Starbucks merchandise with a Disney World 50th Anniversary theme. Last week, we spotted some 50th Anniversary Starbucks pins in all four Disney World parks, each themed after the park it was in. And today we found even more park-specific 50th Anniversary merchandise in the Main Street Bakery (the Starbucks location in the Magic Kingdom). There were Magic Kingdom metal tumblers with a big “50” logo and attractions from the park sketched around it. Metal Tumbler We could find attractions like Space Mountain, the Cinderella Castle, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, “it’s a small world,” and more around this cup. A look at the back You can get it for $29.99 at the Main Street Bakery, and we also saw this one at the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A.. Lots of tumblers If you prefer the ceramic version, though, there’s a cup for you too! Ceramic tumbler The Magic Kingdom ceramic tumblers had a big Mickey face with attractions like the Cinderella Castle, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, hitchhiking ghosts from Haunted Mansion, and even a lightcycle from the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster. On the other side, there’s a plain background with the Starbucks logo. Here’s the other side You’ll find the ceramic tumblers at Main Street Bakery for $24.99. There’s a lot here for now! Finally, we found a tiny version of that ceramic tumbler in the form of a Starbucks Magic Kingdom ornament! It’s so cute and little! Like the ceramic tumbler, the little ornaments have the Starbucks logo on one side and an attraction montage from the Magic Kingdom on the other. They fit a lot on that little cup! These adorable little cups are $14.99 at the Main Street Bakery. So cute! We’re hoping to find versions of these items in the other parks as well, with themes to match each park. Keep following DFB, and we’ll let you know when we find new merchandise around Disney World.

We’re just days away from the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations! Vivoli il Gelato You can celebrate the big event by grabbing some of the new merchandise, checking out some of the new snacks, or even getting a tiara. Now, Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs is joining in on the fun with a treat that’s truly fit for the 50th! Recently, Vivoli il Gelato posted on their Instagram about a brand new treat guests can get to celebrate Disney World’s 50th Anniversary — the Golden Jubilee! This treat is made of a white chocolate hazelnut gelato shake with a waffle cone, caramel sauce, and whipped cream. And the best part is that it is topped off with 23k edible gold sprinkles! Talk about some fanciness for the 50th Anniversary. ©Vivoli il Gelato (@vivoligelateria on Instagram) Of course, several Disney World treats have utilized edible gold in the past, but chowing down on some edible gold sprinkles seems like a particularly appropriate way to celebrate this big anniversary. This is just 1 of the many treats that will be available all throughout Disney World as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations. In fact, recently Disney shared that 150+ NEW food and drink items (as well as some popcorn buckets, souvenir mugs, and more) will be making their way to the Most Magical Place on Earth soon. Disney World 50th Anniversary Popcorn Bucket So, if you’re planning a trip to Disney World for the 50th Anniversary celebrations (which last 18 months, by the way), be sure to pack those stretchy pants so you can try all of the new offerings!

Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is in just a few days, and there’s a lot we’ll be celebrating! Magic Kingdom is preparing for its 50th Anniversary! New fireworks shows, new costumes for Mickey and the gang, a new ride, and new restaurants, plus SO MUCH MORE! And some of these celebrations aren’t even waiting until the 50th to start — a few of them arrived at the parks a little early. Harmonious Let’s start things off with one of the biggest additions coming early to the parks — EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious! The new nighttime spectacular is set to replace EPCOT Forever, which ends on September 28th. ©Disney Starting September 29th, Harmonious will begin its performances on World Showcase Lagoon, according to the showtimes listed on the Disney World website. At 9PM on both September 29th and 30th, guests will be able to watch the show before its official opening date of October 1st. 50th Anniversary Merchandise Another big thing that arrived early in the parks was more than 100 50th Anniversary merchandise items! The Celebration and Castle Collections showed up last week in the Emporium at Magic Kingdom, and they’ve been incredibly popular ever since. 50th Anniversary Merchandise Stand Over the next few days, you’ll want to be very cautious when heading into Magic Kingdom’s big merchandise shop, because crowds have been pretty hefty! We’ve also noticed some of these items at other places around Disney World, including World of Disney in Disney Springs. Early Theme Park Entry With the 50th Anniversary, Disney World Resort guests are getting some bonus perks, including Early Theme Park Entry! The new offering allows guests of select hotels to arrive at the parks 30 minutes before they open and experience rides and attractions before the other guests. Disney’s Contemporary Resort If you’re staying onsite this week, the perk started its official run on September 26th, even though it was originally announced to begin on October 1st. Disney Fab 50 Character Statues One of the most iconic decoration choices we’ve seen for the celebration is the golden character statues, otherwise known as the Disney Fab 50. These statues represent 50 different iconic Disney characters and can be found at each of the four theme parks. The characters have arrived! Even though their debut was scheduled for October 1st, the statues began arriving a few weeks ago. If you’re in Disney World this week, try and find all 50 characters around the parks (some of the Magic Kingdom ones are more difficult than you’d expect!). EPCOT Food & Wine Booths Back when the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival began in July, it was announced that some of the food booths would be waiting to premiere until October 1st. However, Disney surprised us and opened several that were on that list back in August! We’re all about that Mac & Eats booth… We got to try Lobster Landing, Mac & Eats, Ireland, India, Kenya, Spain, and The Alps ahead of their scheduled opening date. We’re still waiting on Brazil and Belgium to open, but we’ll be there to try out all the delicious options on Friday! Click Here to See Our Reviews of Every Festival Booth So Far! Besides these things showing up early, we’ve also spotted quite a few 50th Anniversary decorations in place around the parks and resorts. The excitement is definitely building, and there’s going to be quite a bit for guests to experience in the next few days. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest news and updates!

You had us at Tiramisu! We are off to Disney’s BoardWalk! Disney’s BoardWalk Recently, Trattoria al Forno released two new menus, bringing some exciting (and pretty delicious) Italian flavors to Disney’s BoardWalk. Their new dinner menu impressed –So much so, we reserved ourselves a spot for breakfast! While Italian eats can be frequently spotted throughout Disney Parks and are often, well —Cosi Cosi (so so). Trattoria al Forno brings something special to the table. Benvenuto! Trattoria al Forno is located in Disney’s BoardWalk, and was the former home of the Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast! Before the parks closed, you could — CATCH — breakfast with Ariel, Prince Eric, Rapunzel, and Flynn Rider. We really enjoyed this character breakfast, and had so much fun interacting with characters that can be hard to spot in the theme parks. We miss you, Ariel! Although this character experience is still on pause, we were happy to learn that Trattoria al Forno was offering a new Italian-inspired breakfast menu — making waiting for the return of the Bon Voyage Adventure a little more bearable. If only we had Rapunzel’s patience! Let’s take a look at what’s being served up for breakfast now! Atmosphere Trattoria al Forno scores some big points for atmosphere! The rich Italian theming is present without being overbearing or too “themey” –And the rustic nods and attention to detail truly make this space inviting, comfortable, and downright cozy! Warm and inviting! Trattoria al Forno manages to blend the ornate –think dark wood, and wrought iron details, with more modest elements like pizza paddles and whimsical upholstery. Cozy seating area! The combination of textures and finishes results in modern meets old-world charm that keeps the restaurant feeling substantial, yet casual enough to enjoy a family meal in your Disney gear! Great welcoming vibes aside, we have to mention the real gem of this restaurant –Its massive OPEN kitchen! This dynamic element immerses diners in the sights, sounds, and smells of a bustling Italian kitchen. The heart of the restaurant! And we’ve got to tip our hats (and mouse ears) to Trattoria’s HUGE stone pizza oven! Can we get one of these?! You can expect an assortment of comfortable seating including large booths, single-party tables, and large group (shared) tables. Check out that ceiling! And fresh air seekers can enjoy bistro-style outdoor seating! Although keep in mind, the outdoor space is a bit on the smaller side. Outdoor Bistro-style seating While the atmosphere is great, the location isn’t too shabby either! Trattoria is a quick jaunt to Epcot’s International Gateway –an 8 minute walk according to Google Maps! Onward to the World Showcase This is an ideal Epcot entrance if you are looking to scurry to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure when it opens officially on Friday! PSA –Epcot tends to open later than most parks which means you just might have time to grab a solid (as in, more than coffee) breakfast prior to opening! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! Eats Now on to the food! Let’s be honest, we aren’t always loving Disney’s take on Italian food as it has a tendency to get real generic real fast. However, Trattoria’s take on authentic Italian food caught our attention! Let’s do this! Much like their new dinner menu, their breakfast menu is pretty diverse with options ranging from breakfast staples (Mickey Waffles for the win), plant-based options, and unique Italian twists — cue the breakfast pizza! ©Disney At first glance, Trattoria al Forno’s menu may not seem super expansive. However, we thought there was a decent variety of options, including more traditional items like bacon and eggs, as well as more on pulse selections — we’re looking at you, Avocado Toast. ©Disney You can also keep it light with oatmeal or opt for the classic Disney favorite — Mickey Shaped Waffles! ©Disney The menu also features a “Create-Your-Own” option for kids — giving them the ability to select an entrée and two sides of their choice. We really like this option for little ones! ©Disney And you know, they have to have a Kid’s Specialty drink — complete with a glowing Character Clip-on Light. During our visit, it looked like there was a choice between Buzz Lightyear or Ariel. ©Disney In the spirit of fairness, there were adult specialty drinks as well! These included a Mimosa, Peach Bellini, and Caprese Bloody Mary. Drink Specials! If you prefer to start your morning with a jolt of caffeine, they have you covered with both hot and iced coffee options! ©Disney Being the troopers we are, we decided to start our meal with a specialty drink — hint hint — it did not include a glowing Buzz Lightyear, and left us feeling PEACHY! Buon Giorno! You guessed it! We went for the Peach Bellini! This $13.00 beauty is made with Ruffino Prosecco and a white peach purée. So our purée…did not look like purée. It looked more like syrup at the bottom of the glass. We braced for a lot of sweetness because of this but, thankfully, it wasn’t too sweet. Despite there being a lot of peach in this drink, the flavor was subtle –in a good way, and didn’t overpower us with that sweetness. We really enjoyed this one and would say it’s a win if you are a fan of the bubbly and are up for the fruity twist! Feeling peachy! Sparking drink in hand, we decided to tackle some of Trattoria’s Italian-inspired breakfast items! We went for the Sunrise Pizza, Caprese Omelet, and Tiramisu-style French Toast! Hidden Mickey! Pizza for breakfast! Yes, please! The Sunrise Pizza really makes a statement. Pizza for breakfast! First, let’s talk crust — remember that incredible pizza oven?! The house-made dough is puffy, slightly sweet, and baked in the restaurant’s stone pizza oven resulting in a perfectly cooked — crispy-chewy combo! We know it sure kinda LOOKS like Disney World puffy pizza crust you might find at a slew of fast food pizza spots in Disney World, it’s not. Fans of a thinner crust might be a bit disappointed, but if you like a little chew to your pizza, you’ll likely enjoy this. Perfection! In lieu of a traditional marinara, Trattoria surprised us with SAUSAGE GRAVY AS THE SAUCE! Smart move! The gravy really brought the “breakfast” to this AM pizza! It was full of flavor and helped the entire dish make sense. Sausage gravy! The pizza was LOADED with toppings, including fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, peppers, and loads of cheese. This ‘za was everything you’d want in a breakfast pizza hybrid! It’s basically a big ol breakfast platter scrambled on a pizza — not a bad thing! Heaps of toppings! This one is hearty for sure, and could easily be shared or split as an appetizer for the table! At $14.00, it felt worth the price. Plenty to share! We also opted for more of a traditional option, the Caprese Omelet. While we wouldn’t necessarily call omelets “unique” — this one did have a nice Italian spin. Hey good lookin’ Just as its name suggests, the omelet brought the flavors of a Caprese Salad! Fresh basil and tomatoes elevated the dish and gave it an appreciated level of brightness that worked well with the fresh mozzarella. The eggs were nicely moist and fluffy. This was a solid omelet, especially for those not looking for something TOO heavy to start the day. Cheesy goodness The Caprese Omelet includes your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage, as well as a generous side of REALLY DELICIOUS breakfast potatoes. Seriously, look at how crispy-perfect those taters look! The omelet would be a solid vegetarian or lighter option — just pass on the side of meat. We LOVED these potatoes! For $16.00, this is a pretty solid breakfast choice, especially for those wanting something that is more familiar. Hearty breakfast! The real show stopper here was the Tiramisu-style French Toast! This one is STUNNING and definitely worth snagging a few photos! We’ve loved past iterations of the mascarpone waffles here, only this time the waffles are subbed out for some killer-looking french toast. Even back in the old Kouzzina days, this spot had a great waffle topped with mascarpone cream. When Trattoria al Forno moved in years back, they gussied up the waffle with more of a tiramisu twist (which we still loved!). Hello Tiramisu! This variation on french toast featured cinnamon brioche, mascarpone cream, and cocoa powder, topped off with two crunchy ladyfinger cookies! The flavors of cinnamon, cocoa, and mascarpone cream brought those Tiramisu vibes! Plus, can we TALK for a second about the fact that the bread is literally shaped like Cinnamon Toast Crunch/cartoon sliced bread?! It has that perfect cartoon bread top you rarely see in real life. Did that make it taste better? We can’t say for sure, but we are inclined to lean “yes.” We’ll take two, please! We really appreciated the balance of sweetness in this dish — it can be easy to venture into too-sweet territory when talking french toast! However, the mascarpone cream kept things in check. The cinnamon brioche was thick enough to hold its own in a pool of maple syrup — no soggy bread here! That said, the mascarpone cream is really all you need for these. There’s plenty to spread over the slices of toast and it’s loaded with tiramisu flavor. If you’re a purist and still want that syrup, it’s readily available. What breakfast dreams are made of! The Tiramisu-style French Toast costs $16.00 and comes with your choice of breakfast meat (bacon, ham, or sausage). We thought it was a win for those who prefer to start their day on the sweet side. Mmmmm… We would obviously suggest steering clear of this one if you prefer a more savory breakfast — this is borderline dessert on a plate! If you’ve got a sweet tooth you might spend the rest of your day daydreaming about these. Nosh or Not Skip on over to Trattoria al Forno for breakfast if… You have room in your schedule for a more leisurely breakfast. You really enjoy Italian flavors and are looking for a great meal at a pretty fair price. You are staying nearby and planning a day in Epcot! Again — this is a good option if you are looking for a table service breakfast before heading into the park. Just skip this one altogether if… You prefer liquid (AKA coffee!) or light breakfasts. This can suck up a bit of your morning. You aren’t already in the area. The location here is great if you are staying at a nearby hotel (BoardWalk Inn, Yacht and Beach Clubs, and the Swan and Dolphin) or planning to head into Epcot or Disney’s Hollywood Studios — the latter being a bit further. But otherwise, it might be hard to justify the trip. If you have your sights set on a Magic Kingdom morning, Chef Mickey’s might be more ideal. You loved the Bon Voyage Breakfast Adventure. Sometimes you just can’t replace nostalgia and, if this was your jam, the lack of characters and theming might leave you feeling a bit disappointed. Overall While this certainly isn’t the same experience as the Bon Voyage Breakfast Adventure, we left feeling pretty happy. The menu had a good mix of options and was well balanced between familiar and exciting. We really enjoyed the nod to Italian flavors and appreciated the subtle additions that made each entree feel unique. The portions were generous for the price and we left feeling full and satisfied. Entrees here range from $12-16 with the priciest option outside of there being the Oak-Grilled Steak and Eggs at $21, making everything here actually quite reasonably priced. You can get a couple of entrees for less than the price of a Mimosa, to put it in perspective! We really enjoyed everything we tried. The pizza was an inventive breakfast we don’t see on every other menu in Disney World, the omelet was well-made, and the French Toast was covered in mascarpone cream, so it was obviously killer. We’re really happy to see one of our favorite Disney World breakfasts (the old waffles served here) reborn as French Toast! Both our breakfast and dinner experiences at Trattoria al Forno were delicious and a HUGE step up from many of the Italian options around Disney World. Disney’s BoardWalk may be a bit of a trek if you aren’t staying in the area– but it’s a nice break if you have the time. The restaurant itself has an elegant touch without feeling stuffy, making it a comfortable spot to rest and enjoy a delicious meal. At worst, you’ll get a hearty and surprisingly affordable (by Disney standards!) breakfast and a chance to check out the BoardWalk area. At best, you’ll get a new favorite and lesser-known spot for a meal before a full day of exploring Disney World! Click here to read our review on Dinner at Trattoria al Forno!

Disney World isn’t the only place to celebrate Halloween this year. Halloween at Disneyland We’ve been to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, and other parks around the world are also getting in on the spooky festivities. Let’s take a look at what’s going on in Shanghai Disneyland Park for Halloween and Fall! Shanghai Disneyland is planning to celebrate Halloween from October 4th through November 7th this year, with new photo ops around the park and Disney villains appearing on the Enchanted Storybook Castle balcony. Guests are encouraged to wear their Halloween costume in the park during the celebrations. ©Disney Disney also announced that there will be “classic decorations, entertainment, shows, activities, and trick-or-treating.” At sunset, Treasure Cove will become the home of Shanghai Disney’s Ghost Pirates. The Pirates of the Caribbean-themed land will become a spooky home to ghost pirates seeking Captain Jack Sparrow. You might find the ghosts along the way as you walk through the land, or maybe you’ll find Captain Jack asking for your help! Also at sundown, you can see the Halloween Cavalcade ride through the park along with a “This is Halloween!” Dance Party. ©Disney The Halloween Spook-tacular is returning to Shanghai Disneyland as well, and it’s been extended to last four days from October 28th through the 31st. There will be Disney characters, DJs, live music, and a Halloween Villains Fireworks Show. ©Disney You can also find new Halloween-themed treats and snacks, plus new themed merchandise. ©Disney The merchandise will be themed after Mickey and the gang, Duffy and his friends, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. ©Disney If you’re not heading into the park, you can still stop by Disneytown, which is hosting a Halloween Fun Carnival. There you’ll find Halloween decorations like character-themed pumpkins, live music from a Ghost Band, dance parties, trick-or-treat-parades, and more. There’s going to be a Halloween makeover that includes Magical Mirrors and The Lost Souls. ©Disney There will be opportunities for guests to get a “one-of-a-kind Halloween night with special themed staycation packages at both the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel.” ©Disney Once Halloween is over, there will still be some festivities to attend! The first ever Chip ‘n’ Dale Celebration is coming to Shanghai Disneyland, with a new outdoor show, new treats and snacks, and new merchandise. This event runs from November 8th through the 24th. Chip and Dale in Disney World According to Shanghai Disneyland, if you want to experience the nighttime festivities, you can buy an afternoon ticket to enter the park after 3PM. These will be available from September 28th through November 7th, and they’ll be valid for one visit between October 4th through November 7th. ©Disney We heard recently that a new friend was joining Duffy and the gang: LinaBell! LinaBell is a curious fox who loves to solve mysteries. She’ll be appearing soon in Shanghai Disneyland, starting with a “special ceremony will be held for guests on Shanghai Disneyland’s Mickey Avenue on September 29, 2021.” ©Disney After the ceremony, you’ll be able to find new merchandise… ©Disney …as well as snacks and collectible sippers and popcorn buckets around the park. ©Disney Keep following DFB for more Disney news from around the world.

Hocus Pocus turned 28 years old this year, and it’s still a majorly iconic Halloween movie. So much so, in fact, that a sequel is in the works! Hello, Sanderson sisters! Disney has released all kinds of Hocus Pocus merchandise and treats this year, like a set of three cupcakes, and new mugs, and even Crocs!

We’re going to Disney’s Animal Kingdom today! Tree of Life In the park, we’re going to see if there are any updates with the food and snacks, merchandise, and construction. We found some of each today, so let’s see what’s new! As usual, we’ll start with our favorite part of the Disney World parks: food! Animal Kingdom Food Update While we were in Creature Comforts at Animal Kingdom (the Starbucks location in this park) we noticed one of our favorite treats back in the display case. Cheetah Mocha Mousse We tried the Cheetah Brownie back in January of this year, and we were very impressed with the brownie/chocolate chip cookie combo base and mocha mousse on top. Overall, it was a delicious treat. You can get one now! Plus, it’s a very Instagram-able treat! You can get it at Creature Comforts for $5.49. Now it’s called “Cheetah Mocha Mousse” instead of “Cheetah Brownie.” Click Here to Read Our Full Review of the Cheetah Mocha Mousse from January Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update We took a ride on Dinosaur over in DinoLand U.S.A… Dinosaur Attraction Entrance …and on the way out we stopped in the Dino Institute Shop (the gift shop you pass through on our way out of the ride). We found a new red dinosaur toy there! New red dino toy The toy looks like the Carnotaurus dinosaur that scares guests during the ride! Carnotaurus toy You can get one for $22.95 at the Dino Institute Shop. Or, if you’re looking for a less scary reminder of your trip, you can head to Creature Comforts to check out the new 50th Anniversary pin we found there. 50th Anniversary Pin The pin is part of the Starbucks “Been There” collection, and each Disney World theme park has one with its own theme. new pin The Animal Kingdom pin has the Tree of Life, Zazu, and leaf designs around the big “50” logo. There’s also a little Starbucks sign hanging from the bottom. You can get one for $12.99 at Creature Comforts. Creature Comforts Disney’s Magic Kingdom also has a tote bag with similar designs as part of this collection, but a Cast Member in Animal Kingdom said they weren’t sure when the Animal Kingdom totes would come in. We’ll keep checking back for those! In other Animal Kingdom gift shops, we didn’t see much of the 50th Anniversary merchandise. We noticed some reusable bags… Reusable bags …as well as pins and lanyards at Discovery Trading. Pins and lanyards But if you’re looking for the bulk of the 50th Anniversary items, you’ll want to head to the Magic Kingdom or World of Disney in Disney Springs. Animal Kingdom Construction Update One of the biggest things coming to Animal Kingdom for the 50th Anniversary Celebrations is the new KiteTails daytime show. KiteTails banner Cast Members are getting ready for the show’s debut on October 1st, with new decorations around the show area. KiteTails Decorations We saw more kite decorations hanging near the seating area… It’s Simba! …as well as banners around the entrance. Banners One of the banners reminds us of Kevin from Disney Pixar’s Up! Kevin? The barges in the lagoon are also coming along, with the hut structures looking more finished every day. KiteTails Barges We’re not sure what these huts will be for in the show, but we can’t wait to see! Click Here to Learn More About Animal Kingdom’s New Show In addition, we went on the Maharajah Jungle Trek in the Asian section of Animal Kingdom. Tiger Forest The bat section of this trek has reopened after refurbishments to the cave closed it down for a while. We didn’t see many bats We didn’t see many bats out (likely because they’re nocturnal animals), but a keeper was back there doing some work. That’s all for our updates from the Animal Kingdom.

Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration kicks off this week! Earidescence is everywhere! While the official start of the festivities isn’t until October 1st, we’ve already seen special things around the parks, like banners, signs, and merchandise. Two of the 50th anniversary collections have been released in Disney World, and it looks like we’re about to get another one soon! Main Street Cinema at Magic Kingdom is setting up for the next 50th anniversary merchandise line — the Vault Collection! Who is excited for this collection?! The Vault Collection will be inspired by the Disney merchandise from when the park first opened in 1971. It will feature retro-themed treasures right out of The Walt Disney Archives! Main Street Cinema has gotten a little makeover! Main Street Cinema has received a retro-inspired overlay for the collection. We learned recently that the overlay will have vintage photos, colors, and details including photo-worthy backdrops and props inspired by attractions from Walt Disney World Resort history. We can’t wait to peek behind that curtain! We spotted some retro photos already on display, like this one of Orange Bird (that’s a little creepy, honestly). How many people are scared? Us too. There is also this picture of Roy Disney with Pluto, Goofy, and Mickey sitting in Magic Kingdom! A bit less creepy than Orange Bird We don’t have an official date for the debut of the Vault Collection, but as this display has gone up, we’re hoping it will be soon!

We love trying out new treats in Disney World. Main Street Confectionery One of the most iconic places to find Disney treats, new and old, is the Main Street Confectionery. This spot has been closed for a while for some refurbishment, but it’s finally set to open soon, on September 29th. We walked past the Confectionery recently and got to see some of the changes that have already been made to this space. While you can’t go inside the Main Street Confectionery just yet (since it won’t open until this Wednesday, September 29th), you can check out some updated window signs and displays out front! Main Street Confectionery Window Sign On the windows, we spotted some gold signs announcing the Main Street Confectionery as well as their updated sponsor, Mars Wrigley. Mars Sign You’ll now find windows with a special Main Street Confectionery logo on them as well. Logo Window And there are other windows that announce what kinds of treats you’ll be able to find inside the sweet shop. Cupcakes, M&M’s, Cookies — Oh My! We can’t wait to see inside this space once it opens this week. Confectionery Sign During a recent visit we also found some new displays in the windows of the Confectionery showing off all kinds of confections and treats. LOTS of Sweets Behind some windows, we saw shelves holding jars that were filled with all kinds of candy, including some from Goofy’s Candy Co. Others held baked treats like cupcakes, tarts, cookies, Mickey Mouse rice krispies, and candy apples. Baked Goods A big display window showed the winners of the Mars Sweetest Spoon Showcase, “featuring the finest home confectioners in the nation!” It seems this will be part of the updated backstory for the Confectionery. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more details. Confectionery Display We spotted portraits of the winners with their blue ribbons, and the Sweetest Spoon trophy in the center. And wait just one second, is that a wreath made of M&M’S?! It looks adorable and delicious!

EPCOT has been undergoing a HUGE transformation these past few years! A Peek at the Construction in EPCOT While some projects have been completed, like EPCOT’s entrance area, others are still a work in progress, like attractions that were supposed to be opening soon.

Starting October 1st, the 4 neighborhoods of EPCOT will be unified! These neighborhoods are World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery.
