We’ve got GREAT news for those looking to participate in the Disney College Program! Magic Kingdom You might remember when the Disney College Program was temporarily suspended during Disney World’s closure last year. The Disney College Program for Disney World and Disneyland were also canceled for the fall of 2020 and the future of the program was pretty uncertain for a while. Well, we know that the Disney College Plan has returned and now we know even MORE! Disney Programs announced today that the Disney College Program application will be live soon! ©Disney The Disney College Program returned in June, inviting back Cast Members whose 2020 program was canceled or whose program ended early. New applications have not been accepted yet, but it seems that’s about to change! ©Disney The announcement notes that these new College Program Cast Members will have the chance to be a part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations. Of course, that doesn’t narrow down the timeline that much since the 50th celebration is set to run for 18 months. Jacques and Gus Gus There is not a set date for the return of applications, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for the announcement to share with you as soon as we know! Keep an eye on DFB!

Is it just us, or is Disney World increasingly looking more and more like one giant Disney movie? People love Frozen Ever After Sure, Disney movies have ALWAYS had a significant presence in the parks, but over the years, it seems slowly but surely that more Disney movies have popped up in the parks in all kinds of ways! From Peter Pan’s Flight and Dumbo the Flying Elephant to Mad Tea Party and Cinderella Castle, iconic rides and sights in the parks (especially Magic Kingdom, clearly) owe their inspiration to Disney’s colorful cache of movies. Cinderella Castle Disney parks have always drawn inspiration from the movies and shows that the Walt Disney Company produced. Dating back to the OG park, Disneyland, you’ll find nods to Disney’s Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier in Frontierland, and much of Adventureland was inspired by Walt’s True-Life Adventures series, a thirteen film nature series released in the 1950s. Though many of these early film references were subtle or linked to classic films, it seems that nowadays Disney movies are slowly taking over Disney World! Movies Are More Front-and-Center Than Ever From subtle additions in the parks, like the Tangled tower in Fantasyland, complete with oddly enchanting Tangled-themed bathrooms, to full-blown Moana-themed areas in EPCOT and at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney is suddenly putting its movies more front-and-center than ever. Refurbished Guest Rooms at the Polynesian Whether large or small, classic or new-school, Disney is finding all kinds of new ways to highlight its movies and showcase them in the parks and resorts! They’re apt reminders that we need to rewatch these movies…and stock up on themed merch. It’s Happening Beyond Fantasyland For decades, Fantasyland has been the epicenter of Disney’s most iconic movies (which might explain the never-ending bottleneck crowds). But in recent years, the uptick in movie-themed attractions has become much more widespread and omnipresent throughout the parks. Dumbo in Fantasyland In EPCOT, Frozen Ever After caused some controversy when it replaced the beloved Maelstrom, but now is already a star attraction. While Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one of the most anticipated rides coming to Disney World! (And we’re pretty sure if you pitched that to Imagineers back in the 80s they’d be scratching their heads!) Guardians of the Galaxy Construction Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it wasn’t enough that Disney had a single Toy Story attraction — they had to go and make an entire Toy Story Land, complete with cute snacks, merch, and an upcoming restaurant! And that’s without even getting into the whole Star Wars takeover in that park (though, of course, we’re gonna touch on that in a sec!). Slinky Dog Dash! Then there’s Animal Kingdom, where the most recent movie-inspired makeovers are the Rafiki’s Planet Watch revamp and the reopening of Festival of the Lion King, further spotlighting The Lion King in a park that’s ALL about Disney’s wide array of animal characters! Movies Are Taking Over Hotels Too! Disney World is CONSTANTLY in a state of refurbishment, as evidenced by the seemingly never-ending construction at resorts like the Polynesian and Contemporary. And a LARGE part of these refurbs has to do with movies! We want to see what’s behind the scrims! After months of construction and room closures, the wildly anticipated Moana-themed rooms made their recent debut at the Polynesian, and just nearby, the Contemporary is re-theming some of its rooms to reflect The Incredibles! Moana theming at the Polynesian This is in addition to longstanding themed resorts like Art of Animation, which famously feature rooms and sections inspired by the likes of The Little Mermaid, Cars, and Finding Nemo. Disney Movies Get More Than Just Merch Now In the past, when there was a new movie to promote, Disney would mostly just release a wave of new merch. And don’t get us wrong, they still definitely do that (even for movies that aren’t even new)! But nowadays, new movies get MAJOR promotional pushes in other creative ways too! Soul exhibit at EPCOT For example, not only did Disney roll out a slew of Soul-themed goodies for its recent Pixar release, but they debuted a full-fledged jazz exhibit at EPCOT! And in the before times, Disney hosted Onward-themed meet and greets and more to promote their new films! Rides Get Movie-Inspired Makeovers Resort rooms aren’t the only places getting refurbed to reflect Disney movies. Throughout the parks, Disney World rides have seen new additions — or entire makeovers — to better reflect its cinematic library! A bit different, no? A prominent example was the addition of Jack Sparrow to Pirates of the Caribbean or the complete replacement of Maelstrom in EPCOT with Frozen Ever After. Disney is becoming pros at slipping nods to your favorite films into their rides. When you really look back at it, MOST of the new additions to the lineup of rides at Disney World have been directly tied to movies, not original ideas. Jack Sparrow We’re actually seeing more and more rides turned movies turned BACK to rides. It’s like a full circle! Even Modern Disney Movies Are Taking Over Beyond the animated classics, which have long been Disney’s bread and butter in terms of themed attractions, other movie brands have made their presence known in Disney World in BIG ways. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is easily the most popular new area in all of Disney World, where people come from across the globe to vie for a Rise of the Resistance boarding group and feast on Ronto Wraps. Look no further than the ever-present lines in Pandora at Animal Kingdom, where Avatar-themed Flight of Passage is routinely the park’s most in-demand ride, and where snacks like Cheeseburger Pods and Pongu Lumpia have become some of Disney World’s most beloved munchies. Pongu Lumpia in Pandora And not to be forgotten, other themed attractions in Hollywood Studios, like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular are still proudly repping films and series they were based on! Though the stunt show showcasing our favorite anthropologist still hasn’t returned, Indy still has his own ride in Disneyland, too! FOODS Love Disney Movies Too! In case the parks and resorts weren’t constantly reminding you of movies enough, Disney restaurants are here to ensure you’re meeting your daily quota of movie-themed eats! And we love a good snack. Like the Kakamora float inspired by Moana, or the Peter Pan Dole Whip, we’ll never turn down a good snack! Kakamora Float Lately, when Disney releases a new movie, you can safely expect to find plenty of themed snacks and drinks to sample, from a Black Widow cocktail to soft-serve ice cream inspired by Raya and the Last Dragon. Mighty Mist Soft Serve inspired by Raya, in Animal Kingdom We even got a ride-turned movie-turned snack crossover recently with the Backside of Water Float in Magic Kingdom hyping the new Jungle Cruise movie! The New Jungle Cruise-Inspired Back Side of Water Treat Clearly, from re-imagined rides to refurbed resort rooms and restaurant menus, Disney movies are slowly but surely TAKING OVER Disney World from every corner. Some fans lament the loss of what some feel are the unique and original ideas that Disney World (and the Walt Disney Company) were created with. Some embrace their IP overlords taking over and are here for it all. Either way, the oversaturation of Disney films in the parks, resorts, foods, merch, and more seems here to stay.

The start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations is just a few weeks away! Mickey and Minnie! We’ve already seen some of the 50th anniversary character statues in the park, gotten a glimpse at the special lighting coming to Spaceship Earth, and even heard some of the music for EPCOT’s new fireworks show. Today, we spotted more 50th anniversary decor on one of Disney World’s signature forms of transportation! Disney buses and the Disney Skyliner have already gotten some 50th Anniversary touches, and now it’s the monorail’s turn! Earlier today, we spotted one of the Disney World monorails with a special 50th anniversary wrap design. The decorations feature Mickey and Minnie in their 50th Anniversary looks… Hey There! …as well as Chip ‘n’ Dale near a 50th anniversary sign. So Fun! What’s interesting about this wrap is that it doesn’t cover the entire monorail. Unlike the 50th Anniversary bus design, which covered the entire form of transportation, this one has lots of empty space where the regular monorail design is still visible. A Bit Strange to See the Regular Monorail Design Sprinkled in There If you’re making a list to make sure you can see EVERY single 50th anniversary decoration, merchandise collection, and more in Disney World, then you’ll want to add this monorail to your list. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on the 50th anniversary, and we’ll let you know what we find. Stay tuned for more updates!

Disney World’s turning 50 this year and there’s a MASSIVE celebration that’s about to begin! Cinderella Castle has been redecorated for the 50th Anniversary! We’re already seeing a lot of things in the parks in anticipation of the celebration’s opening day, on October 1st. Cinderella Castle got a serious glow-up. EPCOT is undergoing a massive transformation. The park icons have started getting their new lighting schemes. We’re getting TWO new nighttime shows, one at Magic Kingdom and another at EPCOT. AND the fab 50 golden character statues have appeared across the resort.These statues are spread out all over the parks, and if you’re not actively looking for some of them, you might miss them! But don’t worry — because here’s a guide to where you can find EVERY ONE. Magic Kingdom The first statue you’ll see is Lady and the Tramp on Main Street, U.S.A. Lady and Tramp You won’t have to look too hard to find the statues that are around the hub in front of Cinderella Castle. Going around the center hub in a clockwise direction, you’ll find Chip and Dale… Chip and Dale …Donald and Daisy… Donald and Daisy …Mickey and Minnie… Mickey and Minnie! …and Goofy and Pluto! Goofy and Pluto On the outer part of the hub to the right of Cinderella Castle, you can spot Timothy and Dumbo. Dumbo The adorable Pooh and Piglet statue can be seen in the direction of Adventureland in a spot close to Crystal Palace. Pooh and Piglet On the way from the hub to Liberty Square, you’ll spy Tinker Bell — you’ll have to search for her because she’s hidden in the trees! Tinker Bell You’ll have to go right up to Cinderella Castle to spot Gus Gus and Jaq — you’ll find them ON the castle! Jacques and Gus Gus Head on into Tomorrowland and find the Purple Wall located between Tomorrowland Terrace and Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor — Stitch is hanging out there! Stitch on the Purple Wall If you head into Adventureland from the hub, you’ll see Abu hanging out on the right side of the main Adventureland sign. Abu! Orange Bird can also be found in Adventureland. You’ll find him perched on the porch of one of the buildings there. Orange Bird In Fantasyland near Mad Tea Party, you’ll have to get up on your tip toes to see the Cheshire Cat. Cheshire Cat Also near the Mad Tea Party is the Mad Hatter.

We’re back to check in on all of the construction projects going on around Disney World and WOW has it been busy! LOTS of new decorations are popping up EVERY day! The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary is just around the corner so there’s almost always something new to spot in the parks. Between sparkly new golden statues, missing animatronics, more progress on upcoming attractions, and other construction projects, we’ve got A LOT to cover — so let’s jump right on in! Magic Kingdom Main Street Confectionery We’re starting our tour all the way up at the front of Main Street, U.S.A. at the Main Street Confectionery. This sweet shop closed all the way back in March to be “reimagined” for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary. And, ever since the walk down Main Street has been blocked by some construction walls… . Before… But, this week the walls came DOWN (though the shop still remains closed). After! Disney still hasn’t announced any details about what new experiences will await us inside or even when it will reopen, but this was one step in the right direction. And, for now, you can get many of the treats and merchandise at the Emporium and Main Street Cinema. Click HERE for More Details About the Main Street Confectionery Closure! The Hub You may remember that all of the bronze statues and concrete banisters disappeared from The Hub last week in anticipation of the NEW golden character statues that were announced for the 50th anniversary. Well, Disney didn’t make us stare at blank spaces in the bushes for long — many of the new statues are now in place at The Hub in front of Cinderella Castle and around the rest of the park! Chip and Dale We’ve been having fun going on our very own “Fab 50” scavenger hunt to spot all of the ones that have been added and we’ve got them all listed here! Click HERE to See ALL of the New Statues That Have Arrived in Magic Kingdom! TRON: Lightcycle Run We’ve finally got another update over at TRON: Lightcycle Run! For a long time, we’ve been watching as construction crews have added blue netting to the outdoor canopies at the attraction, and for the first time this week, we spotted a vehicle on the tracks! Look closely… Now, you have to look pretty close to see it…and it wasn’t moving when we passed by, but this could be a sign that the ride is getting closer to completion! Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for updates! Check Out More Photos and Videos From the Testing HERE! Dumbo A few other attractions were getting some TLC this week including Dumbo the Flying Elephant. We passed by and noticed that the water underneath both sides was drained and the water fountains were turned off. Dumbo is drained! We often see various fountains drained throughout the parks as Disney completes routine maintenance, so we expect the water to be flowing once again soon! Mad Tea Party Mad Tea Party also got a bit of a makeover this week with new detailing added to the roof! As a refresher, here’s what it looked like before… Here’s what it looked like before… …and here’s what it looks like now! The roof now features a bright teal color (instead of green) with purple detailing and other designs. Mad Tea Party Repainted We’ll continue to keep an eye out for any other small changes that might be made here in the coming weeks too! Storybook Circus And, the Storybook Circus area also got some updates. The Florida sun can do some damage to bright colors over time, so we noticed that Disney replaced some of the large banners in the area with… Before… …well, the same banners — just brighter! New banners! This update joins other minor painting projects that have been taking place in the area to make sure things are spick-and-span for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary. Big Top Souvenirs Big Top Treats has been reopened inside Big Top Souvenirs for a few weeks now, but much of the exterior of the circus tent was still “in progress.” But, it’s back to looking like its old self! Here’s what the main entrance used to look like… Here’s what it looked like before… …and here it is now! That’s right, the full Big Top Souvenirs sign has RETURNED to welcome guests into the shop! The sign is BACK! From what we can tell, the sign simply received some paint touch-ups while it was away. Frontierland We’ve also been keeping track of the construction going on throughout Frontierland for some time now. Last week, construction walls were blocking the entrance to Country Bear Jamboree, but they’ve moved once again. The walls are GONE! The main entrance is now free of the barriers so there is no detour required and no construction walls are in sight. Adventureland And, over in Adventureland, the floors are changing colors. A portion of the pavement has been blocked off outside of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room for some time now as they give the pavement a green makeover. More color-changing pavement! We spoke with a few Cast Members who said that green was the original color of the pavement in Adventureland when the park first opened in 1971 and they’re restoring it back to that look. EPCOT Spaceship Earth Just as EPCOT is preparing to open TWO new stores next week, we noticed some changes at another spot in the park — Spaceship Earth. On our ride through history, there were a few animatronics missing, including the caveman that is normally standing just to the left of the mammoth drawings in this scene… No Caveman …and the Roman Soldier who can typically be found in the Rome scene. No Solider Here Now, Disney has previously announced a major transformation that they have planned for the attraction, but the development of this project has reportedly been postponed. So, the animatronics have likely just been removed for routine maintenance and will be back to their normal duties soon. Check Out More Details About the Missing Animatronics! Also, it was announced that Club Cool and the Creations Shop will be opening on September 15th. ©Zach Riddley Disney’s Hollywood Studios Once Upon a Time At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Once Upon a Time store was looking a bit different. Part of the building was covered in blue tarp — very incognito Disney. Now that’s some blue tarp! It’s not clear exactly what work Disney is doing here, but we’ll keep an eye out for any updates once the tarp is removed. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Discovery River Amphitheater If you’ve been keeping up with Disney construction for a little while now, then you likely know that we’ve been tracking the progress on the new daytime show coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom — Disney KiteTails. We’ve watched the platforms in the water go from new arrivals to long-time residents and now there are more small structures to be found! Construction for KiteTails The show will debut on October 1st and feature some of our favorite characters in giant-kite form and we’ll be sure to bring you a look at it all! Check Out a First Look at the NEW Show HERE! Disney Resorts Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort After much anticipation, the monorail station has REOPENED at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, so guests can once again catch a ride on the highway in the sky over to Magic Kingdom! Time to ride the Monorail again! There are still some signs of construction, but you’ll be able to spot plenty of new colorful additions that match the new panels on the exterior of the building. Polynesian Monorail Station And, just downstairs, the main entrance area has also reopened! So, guests no longer need to enter the lobby through a side entrance. It’s all open down here! And, that about wraps up the makeover at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We’ll keep you updated on any other changes we spot, so stay tuned. Check Out What the New Monorail Station is Like HERE! Disney’s Contemporary Resort Lastly, we spotted the first signs of the sleek new styling coming to Disney’s Contemporary Resort! At the beginning of the week, we noticed that the elevators to the monorail platform were out of service, but it wasn’t too long before they reopened with a NEW look inside! New Contemporary Resort elevators Now even the elevators look “contemporary” with a matt silver design that looks like the resort itself with a monorail coming through! Click HERE to See What the Rooms Will Look Like After the Renovation is Complete! Well, that was a whole lot of construction progress for one week! Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for more progress around the parks and resorts so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. We’ve seen safety policies change many times since Disney World reopened last year after being closed due to the pandemic. COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign When the parks first reopened, there were strict safety precautions put into place like temperature checks, required masks, and social distancing. As the pandemic continued, some of those policies were relaxed or done away with altogether. However, some things, like required masks indoors, actually came back shortly after Disney removed the requirement due to an increase of COVID-19 cases and new recommendations from the CDC. One thing you may be wondering about is the current status of social distancing in the parks. So, is there still social distancing in Disney World? The short answer is: no. Hollywood Studios Entrance Most social distancing markers have been completely removed around Disney World, like the stickers on the ground. Markers removed from entrance The same goes for the plexiglass dividers on rides and in lines. Every row and seat is being used on rides… Splash Mountain …and single rider lines are also open. Single Rider at Expedition Everest Pre-shows are also back, and there isn’t any social distancing during the shows among guests. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster ft. Aerosmith Pre-Show And while waiting in lines at the parks, we haven’t really experienced any social distancing by other guests. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Disney World doesn’t currently have any language online about social distancing — the last time we saw any information on the website was back in the spring. ©Disney || Former Distancing Message There also isn’t any social distancing signage in the parks anymore. We only see signs about wearing masks indoors now. Don’t forget your mask! Disney World is still making an announcement about social distancing, though, but it is not being enforced as a requirement. Crowds in Animal Kingdom The crowds we’ve seen have definitely indicated that social distancing is a thing of the past in Disney World. Main Street, U.S.A. So, keep this in mind if you’re planning on being in Disney World soon. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney safety updates.

Disney World is on a roll with restaurants reopening lately! Welcome back, Diamond Horseshoe! From Boma to Columbia Harbour House to Casey’s Corner, so many Disney World favorites have come back. Now, the Diamond Horseshoe has officially reopened in Magic Kingdom, and we’re here to give you a first look at our dining experience! Atmosphere When we arrived at the Diamond Horseshoe in Frontierland, we checked in at the desk at the front of the restaurant. You can also check-in for reservations through the My Disney Experience app! Check-in Desk And in case you can’t tell, this restaurant is themed to look like an Old West Music Hall. We’re in the Wild West, y’all! Seating is standard tables and chairs, and napkins and silverware are in place on the table when you arrive. But we’re here for a Saloon feast, so let’s get to the food! Menu The menu for Diamond Horseshoe is an all-you-can-eat family-style meal, and features Tossed Salad as a starter. The Saloon Feast include Roasted Turkey Breast, Pot Roast, Oven-roasted Pork with Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables, Herb Stuffing, House-made Macaroni & Cheese, and Plant-based Impossible Meatloaf. Dessert is the delicious Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake. ©Disney And if that sounds familiar, the menu here is a LOT like the one you get at Liberty Tree Tavern! So if you can’t get a reservation, there, you can try for here. We’re excited that there are now TWO places where you can get that delicious Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake, one of our favorite Disney World desserts! YUM!

Salad and bread After that, the “Saloon Feast” arrived, and yes, it really is a feast! There’s Oven-roasted Pork, Roasted Turkey Breast, and Pot Roast. We’ve also got some Herb Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, and Macaroni and Cheese. PLUS Gravy in a gravy boat and Cranberry Sauce. The FEAST! And then dessert happened.

Today, we got a look at the latest Stitch Crashes Disney plush (don’t worry, it’s one of the cute ones!). The latest plush in the collection is all about The Jungle Book!

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit. There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding traveling due to the COVID pandemic. Mask Sign Disney World has taken several health and safety measures, but many people have expressed that they are not ready to head back in and face the crowds. We asked our readers what it would take for them to feel comfortable in Disney World again — here’s what you said! As you can probably imagine, we got a lot of different responses to the question “What would it take for you to feel comfortable in Disney World again?” Everyone’s input and perspective is greatly appreciated! While we won’t be able to list every response, we took the most frequently occurring responses and have compiled them here. Lower COVID-19 Rates in Florida The COVID-19 numbers in Florida have been increasing recently. And this was one area where many readers expressed concern. One reader said they’re waiting for “Florida Covid numbers to decrease significantly.” Another stated that “Lower case counts in Florida” was what they needed to feel good about traveling to Disney again. Indoor Mask Sign With Florida cases spiking again over the summer, some readers reported they canceled their summer or fall trip in order to avoid the hotspot. Other readers mentioned that “Disney’s doing great, but Florida needs to get it under control.” We read that the concern was less about Disney World itself, and more about the surrounding issues in Florida “I feel safe in Disney, but the travel is the issue.” Mask Mandates (Or Lack Thereof) Disney World re-introduced their mask mandate for indoor locations this summer after an increase in COVID-19 cases in Florida. For some, this mandate isn’t enough to help them feel comfortable. One reader is hoping for “MUCH higher vaccination numbers, better mask habits and mandates,” and several readers mentioned a stricter mask policy and for masks to be required outdoors as well. Face Mask Sign On the flip side of this, other readers said they’ll feel more comfortable in Disney World when the mask mandate is gone. According to one reader, “My kids refuse masks, so we will go when all the mandates lift.” Another said they canceled their trip “because you have to wear a mask. Florida is tooooo hot for all that…” More Distancing and Safety Policies Our readers had several different requests when it came to Disney’s policies. One mentioned a need for more visible cleaning in the parks: “I need to see more disinfecting.” Physical Distancing Markers Another requested a return of the physical distancing in ride lines: “6-foot distancing in lines…it sucks but I don’t want people close to me.” Lower Capacity Disney has been increasing capacity slowly over the summer, and we’ve seen some big crowds recently. Although the crowd levels have dropped off significantly in the last couple of weeks (maybe due to school starting in Florida), we’re expecting more crowds to be back when the 50th Anniversary Celebrations kick off on October 1st. Readers mentioned that they’re looking for lower crowds before they return to Disney World: “Limited capacity – it’s getting waaay too crowded at the moment.” Main Street, U.S.A. crowds Some readers suggested specific numbers, like “Maybe smaller capacity numbers but realistic. Even 10-15% less” or “It needs to be 40% of what it is now.” In general, many of our readers are hoping for limited capacity in the parks, for both safety and comfort reasons. Vaccines There were several suggestions about vaccines and vaccination requirements in Disney World, ranging from “NOT having vaccine mandate anywhere” to “Requiring proof of vaccination.” Currently, Disney World does not require proof of vaccination. All guests — whether or not they’re vaccinated — are required to abide by the indoors mask mandate. ©Facebook Another major concern for several readers was that kids can’t be vaccinated yet. One reader shared “Vaccines being available for my kids. We had planned to go this fall, but not with all the new info & numbers.” As of writing, there is no vaccine available for kids under 12 years old. Many parents are waiting for a kids’ vaccine before heading to Disney World. Return to Normal One reader responded to our question simply with “everything opening.” Other readers mentioned that they’re waiting for “the Disney Dining Plan to come back” or “staff numbers [to] increase again.” Disney has been reopening restaurants, hotels, and attractions, and we’ve seen a lot of normal things returning to the parks, but not everything is back yet. Closed sign One big thing that we haven’t seen return to Disney World yet is close-up character meet and greets. Although you can see many of your favorite characters and even interact with them, you still can’t hug them or take photos right next to them. One reader said they’re waiting for “Characters back to normal” before they return. Hey Snow! Some readers also noticed that the staff numbers are low, and it’s affected their experiences in Disney World: “The customer service has lacked our past two trips. That’s why we’re on a break now.” Less Expensive On a different topic, many readers said they’ll feel more comfortable in Disney World when there are “lower prices.” One reader said “Feeling pretty unsettled about the new Genie platform and $$$$$.” We heard a lot of feedback that the new Genie system was making people upset with Disney: “cancel Genie and return to FastPass.” Genie+ ©Disney Other readers mentioned that they’re waiting “for all the best perks to come back,” specifically citing the Disney Dining Plan (returning to Disney World) and FastPasses (not returning — replaced by Genie+). Another mentioned, “When I can get more for my money in the parks.” One reader simply wants “one free dessert,” which we wouldn’t say no to! Nothing Another comment we saw a lot in the responses was that people already feel safe in the Disney parks. One reader said “I think they do an amazing job. I was there last November.” We saw more comments that expressed approval for how Disney has handled the pandemic. Others shared that they just really wanted to return to normalcy: “I’m over it. I will go anywhere.” Cast Member Cleaning at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Disney World In general, we saw a lot of different perspectives with these comments! Some people want more restrictions while others simply want the parks to go back to how they were before the closures. Currently, Disney World’s indoors mask mandate remains in place, along with other health and safety measures like requiring park pass reservations for limited capacity. However, we’ve seen some big crowds in the parks recently and are expecting more of them in October for the 50th Anniversary. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us!

EPCOT has been undergoing a massive transformation and all that hard work is really starting to show! Space 220 Concept Art ©Disney The front entrance looks COMPLETELY different (and it’s beautiful), Spaceship Earth is getting brand new lighting, the France Pavilion got expanded (Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open there soon), AND a brand new space-themed restaurant, Space 220, will open THIS MONTH! We’ve already seen some pretty incredible concept art for the restaurant. Guests will get whisked away in a “space elevator” to the restaurant, where they will dine with a view of the stars. Space 220 Concept Art ©Disney And today, we got a better look at what that space elevator will look like thanks to some new concept art for Space 220 on the restaurant’s brand new website. Of course, guests might not be able to see what the elevator looks like on the outside, but it’s still pretty cool to see the concept behind it! ©Disney We’re still waiting to see the exact menu for the restaurant, but we do know that it will serve up a multi-course pre-fixe menu for both lunch (two courses) and dinner (three courses). And we know that guests will also be able to order up some “atmospheric cocktails.” Space 220 Cocktails With the restaurant opening on September 20th, we’ll likely get a lot more information soon, and we’ll share it with you as soon as we have it! And we’ll be there on opening day and tell you all about it! Here’s EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Space 220 in EPCOT Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Sure, staying at a Walt Disney World resort has a few perks, but if you have a larger family, or you want to stay off-property, you might be interested in the Club Wyndham on Bonnet Creek! Time for a staycation! There are SO many great options when it comes to hotel accommodations in Orlando, and each resort comes with a different set of pros and cons. If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World, come with us as we explore the Club Wyndham hotel so you can see if it’s right for you! Club Wyndham is a time-share resort that is right next door to the Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek hotel, which you can see below. Stunning view! Inside, the lobby looks pretty much like your standard Wyndham hotel lobby, and it looks like the cafe serves Starbucks, too! We spy a Starbucks sign! There are some grand, dramatic pillars in the lobby, as well as some seating near the check-in counter. The lobby is so fancy! Once we were all checked in, it was time to head to our room! We stayed in a two-bedroom villa that had plenty of space. Club Wyndham check-in Our room opened up to a large living room area with lots of seating and a sofa bed. Outside, we had a balcony with additional seats to take in the Florida views! Plenty of seating! The living room had a nice-sized TV and some extra storage. There were some nice, thick curtains to block out the sun as well. Living room TV Next to the living room area, there was a small dining area with a table and six seats perfect for that night when your family wants to eat in! Plenty of room to eat! Our two-bedroom villa also came with a full kitchen complete with a full-size refrigerator, an oven, microwave (for those yummy leftovers), and a coffee maker! Full kitchen! Now, moving into the first of the two bedrooms, you can see we had a spacious room with two full-size beds. There was also a large window that almost took up the whole wall! Bedroom #1 In addition to the multiple drawers provided below the TV, there was also a closet for hanging up your clothes! No one wants a wrinkly dress, after all! Each room has a TV! As you can see, the room was clean and well-furnished! Hotel pillows almost always feel better than home pillows. Colorful art above the beds In bathroom #1, we had plenty of counter space, a medium-sized mirror, and a bathtub/shower combo. Bathroom #1 Who doesn’t love free stuff?! Our room came with complimentary soaps and shampoos — lemon sage scented! Complimentary soap! Moving to the second bedroom, you will see a large king-size bed with a fan overhead. There was also a small room divider that separated the bathroom area. Bedroom #2 As you can see, each room came with a TV, closet, and plenty of extra storage. Lots of room for storage Across from bedroom #2 was a large bathroom! Bathroom #2 This bathroom had a large soaking tub separate from the shower. Soaking tub Now, for the fun part: the pool! There are several pools on the property including TWO pools with a lazy river. We visited the main pool near the check-in building. Time for the pool! As you can see, the lazy river is pretty big, and has plenty of pool floaties to go around! Look at that huge lazy river! The pool area had plenty of seating, perfect for those that want to lay in the sun on a nice day! Look at that refreshing pool! After a long day in the parks, the hot tub might be just what you need to soak your feet and relax! There’s a hot tub, too! That wraps up our tour of the Club Wyndham on Bonnet Creek! We truly enjoyed our stay and thought that the room was pretty comparable to many of the Deluxe Disney Resorts. The two-bedroom villa can sleep 8 people, making it a great option for larger families and prices range from $180-$430 each night. The hotel is quite close to Walt Disney World — it’s only about a 10-minute drive to the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and only a 7 minute trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

As Disney World takes steps to reopen more restaurants around the parks, they’ve also started reopening buffets. Welcome back to buffets at Crystal Palace! Although dining already returned to Magic Kingdom’s Crystal Palace in December of 2020, the buffet had yet to reopen. After several other buffets have reopened in Disney World, such as Boma in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Biergarten in EPCOT, it’s now Crystal Palace’s turn! Atmosphere As before, Mobile Check-In is encouraged — just scan the QR code with your phone to check-in. You can also do this via the My Disney Experience app. You’ll receive a text message when your table is ready. When you get that text, return to the porch. The porch The inside of the restaurant is very Victorian, with lots of windows and soaring ceilings. There is plenty of light here. You’ll also see some decor that made a little more sense when this was a character dining spot with Pooh and friends (and note that character dining has still not returned here). We miss Pooh and his friends! The restaurant is also spacious with plenty of seating with tables and chairs. Tables and chairs But we’ve been here many times before, and what we’re most interested in is how the food has changed. Menu Although Crystal Palace reopened last year with family-style dining, as of today, the restaurant is a self-service buffet again. It’s a buffet again! Also note that while you are up at the buffet stations getting your food, you must remain masked — masks are required at all indoor locations at Disney World unless you are actively eating or drinking. You must wear a mask when up and about at the buffet Crystal Palace’s buffet menu includes Soups, such as Walt’s Favorite Beef Chili, as well as salads, including Seasonal Fruit Salad, Waldorf Salad, and everything you need to Create-Your-Own Salad with greens, various toppings, and dressings. Create Your Own Salad There are also a variety of Bread to choose from, including Parker House Rolls, Pretzel Rolls, Lavosh, and Cheddar-Bacon Cornbread. Cheddar Bacon Cornbread Entrees include Wood-Grilled Mahi Mahi with Romesco Sauce, Seared Pork Tenderloin, Braised Beef Short Ribs, Country Fried Chicken, Shrimp, and a Crab Claw Cocktail Plate. Wood-grilled Mahi Mahi There’s a carving station for Fire-roasted Prime Rib. Prime Rib? Yes, please. Looking for some good sides? There are plenty to choose from. We saw Peas, Winter Squash Ravioli, Olive-Caper Relish, Basmati Rice with Crispy Shallots, Roasted Wild Mushrooms, Cheesy Broccoli, Herb-Buttered Corn, Walt’s Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans with Bacon and Onions. Mashed potatoes and green beans The Kids Buffet features some kid-pleasing treats like Crispy Chicken Breast Strips, Macaroni and Cheese, Miniature Beef Quesadillas, and Miniature Pizzas. From the Kids Buffet Finally, there are a TON of delicious desserts to choose from, including Apple Cobbler, Fresh-baked cookies, French silk cupcake, Butterscotch Pudding, S’mores Tart, Strawberry Shortcake, and Soft-Serve Ice Cream. Some of the desserts So that was our first look at Crystal Palace’s buffet! Stay tuned for a full review of this buffet and keep reading DFB for all your Disney World restaurant news!
