With October 1st just weeks away, Disney is getting ready for the celebration with a special guest! Today we spotted something extra special at the Magic Kingdom: the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro was filming something for the 50th Anniversary of Disney World! We recently spotted a HUGE stage in the park that was reportedly used for the big special coming to ABC on October 1st, but today there was even more filming. Light, Camera, Action! Josh was nice enough to let us talk to him for a little bit, and mentioned that they were doing some 50th anniversary promo filming. Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks and Resorts Josh D’Amaro and the Disney World team have big things planned for the 50th Anniversary of Disney World! From new shows like Disney Enchanted at Magic Kingdom, Harmonious at EPCOT, and KiteTails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to new rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and even new Food and Wine Festival booths, there’s gonna be a LOT going on on October 1st!

This one is for all you OG Dis-nerds out there. There is nothing like going into your favorite park, hopping on your favorite ride, and being able to quote it word for word (in your head of course). Can’t believe it has been 50 years ©Disney With Disney World’s 50th anniversary right around the corner, we got to thinking of all those endlessly quotable lines you encounter in the parks? You know, the ones STILL in your head as you’re leaving for the night? So please sit back, grab your favorite snack that reminds you of Disney and enjoy these phrases that ONLY true Disney Fans would understand. We are going to start this journey off with where the magic started, in the Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom We are going to start this journey off with where the magic started, in the Magic Kingdom! Best Day EVER! Let’s pretend the Walt Disney World Railroad is running right now because one of the first spiels many guests will encounter when it’s operational is the beloved bellows of “Your attention please—the Walt Disney World Railroad now boarding for a scenic trip around the Magic Kingdom! All abooooooooard!” The Walt Disney Railroad We start our journey on everyone’s favorite boat ride, Pirates of the Caribbean. I’m sure you are familiar with, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho A Pirates life for me!”, but there is another phrase true Disney fans are familiar with and it always brings a smile to their faces. “Don’t tell him, Carlos! Don’t be Chee-cken!” Don’t tell him, Carlos! ©Disney Between Captain Barbossa firing canons over our head and passing through Redd at the auction, there are few things we DON’T love about Pirates of the Caribbean, but Carlos always starts our adventure off the right way! His bride just keeps shouting for him to not give into the dapper pirates drowning him for info! Stay strong Carlos! DON’T BE CHICKEN! We wants the RUM! The next stop on our journey is still in Adventureland. We are taking a hop, skip, and jump over to another boat ride and this time we have a new captain, or should we say, skipper! Jungle Cruise here we come! The Jungle Cruise While we have now added having The Rock be our skipper, to our bucket list, there is one phrase we all anticipate and definitely won’t take for granite. “Behold the 8th Wonder of the world, the BACKSIDE OF WATER!” THE BACKSIDE OF WATER! C’mon, it’s iconic for a reason. Gotta love a good Jungle Cruise dad joke! We are trading out our boat for a train with this next attraction. Get ready for the wildest ride in the wilderness as we get into one of our favorite quotes only Big Thunder Mountain fans will know! BEST REMOVE EM’! “If any of you folks are wearing hats or glasses, BEST REMOVE EM’!” Most rides will ask you to remove your hats and glasses, but none of them do it quite as emphatically our favorite rootinest tootinest miner! “Cause this here’s the WILDEST RIDE in the WILDERNESS!” The wildest ride in the wilderness! From the wild west to a bone-chilling dilemma. This next phrase, from The Haunted Mansion, is sure to give you hot and cold running chills! Madame Carlotta! “And consider this dismaying observation- this chamber has no windows…and no doors…which offers you this chilling challenge — to find A WAY OUT!” This was removed from the ride during the pandemic, which definitely made us appreciate it even more! Bonus points for Little Leota stuck in your head, “Hurry baaaack. Be sure to bring your…death certificate. If you decide to join us, make final arrangements now.” The Stretching Room is Back in Action! What better way to end our journey in the Magic Kingdom than with fireworks! With the recent news about Happily Ever After playing its final show before the big 50th Anniversary begins, we couldn’t help but think of another fireworks spectacular! WISHES! WISHES! “Make a wish and do as dreamers do, and all our wishes will come true.” You can almost hear the voice of Jiminy Cricket talking now. At least now we don’t have to make a mad dash to exit the park! And though we can’t see Wishes in Magic Kingdom anymore, and we’ll soon bid farewell to Happily Ever After, at least we’ll have YouTube videos to reminisce and keeps our quote trivia knowledge alive! (To be fair, we would have just picked kids belting out “WISHEEEEEESS!” That ALWAYS got stuck in our heads! Click Here to See a First-Look at Cinderella’s Castle Projections for the 50th Anniversary! EPCOT Our next trip down memory lane brings us to the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, EPCOT! EPCOT There is no better way to start than at Spaceship Earth! We are taking a journey through the history of man, well at least up to the creation of the home computer. Here’s to the next 30,000 years! Without this next phrase, you wouldn’t even be reading this article! “Remember how easy it was to learn your ABCs? Thank the Phoenicians.” This one has stuck with many fans of Spaceship Earth over time and we hope it sticks around for the updates coming to the ride soon! Thank You Phoenicians! THANK YOU!! Words are great but they are nothing without IMAGINATION! Our next stop is over with our friend Figment at Journey Into Imagination. One little spark! “A dream can be, a dream come true, with just that spark in me and you.” While this takes most fans back to the Dreamfinder days it’s still good to get that hit of nostalgia when we hear these popular lyrics! ©Disney | Let’s be honest, the original was the best! Ok, prepare for take-off with our next destination. We will be joining our chief flight attendant Patrick and traveling around the world on Soarin’! Soarin’ There is nothing like buckling your seatbelt and getting the nice old-fashioned feedback of, “Nice work Pal!” paired with a thumbs up. Now that we are buckled up let’s make our way to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Oh yeah, and have a nice flight! Click Here to See Scuba Mickey at EPCOT! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Jambo! Disney’s Animal Kingdom doesn’t have too many home-run phrases like other parks, but a couple easily makes our list! Tree of Life We start our journey in Pandora on one of the most popular rides at Disney World, Flight of Passage. Sivako! This one makes our list because it is so well known and also well-memed in the Disney community. “Once we do that, you’ll be able to link to that avatar, and, uh, fly.” Yes, this poor fella is permanently nicknamed the “uhh..fly guy!” Uh, Fly! We are keeping it strictly scientific on this trip! From otherworldly to pre-historic, our next trip is over to Dinosaur! Did you know a lot of the fossils in Dinosaur are real! If the first words out of your mouth aren’t a loud “HEEEELLO THERE!” from puppet-clad Dr. Seeker, you’re doing the ride wrong. It’s Dr. Seeker! “THEY’RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!, THEY’RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!…. you made it!” There is nothing quite like getting the pants scared off of you in Dinosaur and then having your lifeline telling you that you won’t make it. Click Here to See 10 DFB Reviews You HAVE to Read Before Going to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Disney’s Hollywood Studios The last stop on our nostalgia-filled journey is going to be Disney’s Hollywood Studios and we can’t wait to show you what we have! Nothing like the golden age of Hollywood! We have to roll out the red carpet to start right?! So why don’t we “make it a stretch…in fact, make it a SUPER stretch!” That’s right Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is first up on the list and who doesn’t love that pre-show with Steven Tyler and Aerosmith?! You’ve gotta get to their concert, right? And thankfully the band manager stepped in with a clutch ride to the show! How about some backstage passes?! Next, we are going to go right across the street and check in to our favorite hotel. That’s right, our next stop is… The Twilight Zone. Do you have a reservation? “We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard because in tonight’s episode you are the star.” Similar to the Haunted Mansion, this pre-show was missing since the reopening, and now that we have it back we never want it to go away again! It’s back! Now that we are all rested from our stay at the Hollywood Tower Hotel, let’s make our way over to Muppet Vision 3D! A glorious three-hour finale Sam Eagle puts on one heck of a finale, “A salute to all nations… but mostly America”, and it is one we will watch over and over again! We love this guy For our final destination of this trip, we will be going to a galaxy far, far away. That’s right it’s time to fulfill your childhood dream and pilot the Millenium Falcon! Chewie, we’re home We waited our entire lives to hear this request spoken to us, “Right pilot, make the jump to lightspeed!” Being the pilot of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy checked off a serious must-do on our bucket list and we think Han would be proud.

Hopefully, you are prepped and ready for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and please make sure next time you ride these rides, quote them in your head! Stay tuned here at DFB for all things Disney!

We visited Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland this week, and we’re taking in all the spooky Halloween fun! It’s time to Oogie Boogie! There are tons of delicious treats to try and some pretty terrifying villains to meet, but right now we’re taking a look at a Disneyland Halloween staple — the Frightfully Fun Parade! The Frightfully Fun Parade runs during the Oogie Boogie Bash at 7:45PM and again at 10PM, so you can choose which time works best for you — or go ahead and see it both times! Frightfully Fun Parade The parade brought back one of Disneyland’s most beloved Halloween characters — the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow! The scary horseman led the procession, closely followed by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, who were decked out in their Halloween best. We also saw some cavalcades filled with Disney villains, like Ursula, who was gliding effortlessly through the parade! Ursula! Villains like Lady Tremaine, The Ugly Stepsisters, The Red Queen, Captain Hook, Judge Frollo, and Jafar were also strutting their stuff at the parade! So many villains! On the big float you could spot villains like Hades, Cruella… Hades and Cruella! …the Evil Queen and her cauldron… Is she making poison apples? …and the Cheshire Cat holding up the rear! There he is! Of course, the parade wouldn’t be complete without one of the Bash’s most popular characters, Dr. Facilier! Dr. Facilier brought Mardi Gras to the Bash! Next up was the Haunted Mansion float, which featured two characters from the ride! The first was Constance Hathaway A.K.A. the Black Widow Bride (you know, the creepy lady with the axe in the attic of the Haunted Mansion)… The Black Widow Bride! …and the poor old groundskeeper of the graveyard outside the mansion! He’s definitely spooked! Finally, you can’t have the Oogie Boogie Bash without a little bit of Nightmare Before Christmas! On the float dedicated to the movie, you can find Jack Skellington and Sally! Happy Halloween (and Christmas?) Finally, the Mayor of Halloween Town came through with his face turning from glad to mad! Make way for the mayor!

So you’re planning a trip to Disney World and you aren’t sure what your options are for your four-legged bestest Disney friend? You’d love to take your dog to Disney World, but is that possible? ©Disney|Chewy Disney World actually DOES have dog-friendly resorts as well as pet boarding options that could fit any family’s needs! Let’s go over where you CAN take your dog in Disney World — as well as where you can’t. As of October 2017, Disney World began allowing guests to bring dogs to select Disney World hotels and there are some important things you need to know if you’d like to bring your doggo with you on your next Disney trip! Note that none of these policies apply to Service Dogs. Dog-Friendly Resorts There are four Disney World Resort hotels that allow dogs with a maximum of two dogs per guest room. All pup guests must be fully up-to-date on vaccinations and owners must provide proof. The dog-friendly rooms have easy access to outdoor walkways and green spaces so your doggo can get plenty of exercise and potty break time. Dogs must always be on a leash or in a pet carrier when not in their guest room. Pluto! All visiting dogs get a special gift of Pluto’s Welcome Kit, which contains dog-friendly items like an ID tag, puppy pads, plastic potty bags, a mat, bowls, and dog walking maps. Dog food is not sold at Disney World, so you need to bring or have dog food delivered. DogEatz Treatz You must sign a “pet agreement” with your hotel and each hotel charges a nightly pet fee. There are some important things to note, like that dogs must be fully trained and are not allowed on ANY furniture in the hotel. Housekeeping is only available when your dog is not in the room, and you’ll need to schedule a cleaning time when your dog is outside the room. ©Disney|Chewy Dogs are allowed to be left unattended in your room for a maximum of seven hours. If your dog is barking when you’re not in the room, Disney may ask you to return to your room, and you’ll need to get to your room as soon as possible to calm your dog. If there are any issues with your dog disturbing other guests or exhibiting aggressive behavior, Disney may ask you to make other arrangements. Christmas Dog Gear To make a Disney World Resort reservation with your dog, you need to call Disney at (407) 939-7539. Read more about bringing pets to Disney World here! So what are the four Disney World hotels that allow dogs? Let’s go over them! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is a Value Resort, which means it’s usually on the less pricey side of Disney hotels. Art of Animation requires a $50 nightly fee for your furry family member. Disney’s Art of Animation Resort All the dog-friendly hotels have designated sections or floors for dogs and, when you check-in to your hotel, you will receive a map of dog relief and walking areas. ©Disney Art of Animation has several different locations for dog-friendly spaces! Remember that dogs are not allowed in public spaces such as pool areas and any food and beverage locations. Click here for a ranking of Disney World’s Value Resorts! Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort is a Moderate Resort, which is priced a bit higher than a Value Resort with some additional amenities and larger room options. They charge a nightly pet fee of $50. Port Orleans — Riverside Because Moderate Resorts are often quite spread out, there’s a big range of locations for dog spaces at Riverside. ©Disney If you prefer to stay in a resort with more amenities than the Value Resorts, this is a great option especially considering the pet fee costs the same at Art of Animation! Here are the BIG problems with Disney’s Moderate Resorts! Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is a Deluxe Resort, so it’s on the pricier side for both room cost and pet fees. Yacht Club requires a $75 nightly fee for visiting dogs. Yacht Club Resort Yacht Club has one location for dog relief, so you may not have quite as much space for your doggo to explore as the other resorts. ©Disney If having more options for your dog is important to you, Yacht Club may not be worth the splurge for your furry friend, but the location could be quite convenient for mid-day checks on your pup. Here’s a ranking of Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts! Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort may be the most dog-friendly option out of all four hotels. At Fort Wilderness, there are two location options for dogs, both at the Fort Wilderness Cabins and the Campsites! Cabins The Fort Wilderness Resort Cabins are considered a Moderate Resort, and they require a $50 nightly fee for visiting dogs. Fort Wilderness Cabin ©Disney The advantage of both the Cabins and the Campsites is the amount of space for dogs. As the map states, dog relief areas are available in all Campsite and Cabin loops! ©Disney There is also a dog park, which we’ll talk more about in a second! Check out this ranking of all Disney’s Moderate Resorts! Campsites The Fort Wilderness Campsites are generally the cheapest option both in terms of nightly rate and pet fees, charging a $5 nightly fee for pets. Dogs are not allowed in pop-up trailers or tents, so you need an RV. You must also reserve a campsite that has water, electricity, and sewer hook-ups. ©Disney Fort Wilderness Campgrounds also has the Waggin’ Tails Dog Park, which is an off-leash park and a chance for your doggo to get to meet other pups visiting Disney World! You must stay with your pets whenever they are outside your camper and they must be on a leash at all times. Take a look at all the fall decorations at Fort Wilderness Campgrounds! Best Friends Pet Hotel Those of us a bit older might remember the days of Pet Care Centers located around Disney World. Kennels were on-site for guests choosing to pay to board their animals for their stay and guests could visit the kennels, like at the entrance to EPCOT or the Transportation and Ticket Center near Magic Kingdom, to walk their pets and visit each day. The times have changed and since 2010, Disney World has partnered with Best Friends Pet Hotel, which is a full-service animal care facility that offers daycare services for pets from a few hours to full overnight visits. If you need to leave your dog for longer than seven hours or would prefer not to leave them unattended in your room, this is a great option for Disney World guests. This pet hotel is located near Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts. ©Best Friends Pet Hotel Hourly rates (under 6 hours) begin at $28 and overnights begin at $47, all the way up to $109 for a VIP Luxury Suite if you REALLY want to pamper your pup! And while Disney does not allow cats on any Disney World property, Best Friends Pet Hotel does! Click here to read more about Best Friends Pet Hotel! Where Are Dogs NOT Allowed? Other than Service Animals, dogs are not allowed in the theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, or common public areas such as restaurants, pools, fitness centers, or lounges. Dogs are also not allowed on most transportation, such as ferry boats, the Skyliner, the Monorail, or buses. If you bring your dog to Disney World, they will pretty much have to stay at your resort hotel the whole time. ©Disney|Chewy Dogs have been allowed on the Magical Express bus when traveling in a dog carrier that fits safely on a seat. However, now that the Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, it’s unclear yet if Mears Connect will apply the same policy. Considering Mears Connect operated the Magical Express, we can guess that the pet policy will be carried over, but that is not yet confirmed. Click here to read more about Mears Connect! So that’s pretty much everything you need to know about bringing your furry friend to Disney World! Between the four resorts and the Best Friends Pet Hotel, you don’t have to leave your dog at home during your visit to Disney World. Keep reading DFB for all your Disney World tips and tricks!

The flag retreat ceremony at Disney Parks is a tradition that dates back to the founding of the company. Held at both Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, these commemorative rituals give Disney the opportunity to offer sincere gratitude to those who serve and defend our nation. Yesterday, Magic Kingdom Park security and entertainment cast had the privilege of honoring our newest Disney Magic Maker, Rob Vickers, with this special tribute.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/qQdI1lXRHi4View the full article

It’s time to Oogie Boogie because we visited the first night of Disneyland’s after-hours Halloween event! Flo’s V-8 Cafe So far, we’ve had a blast snacking on a red velvet bundt cake, watching live entertainment, and more! But, we can’t resist fueling our spooky season with themed treats, and we’re heading over to Cars Land for our next snack! This year, the Oogie Boogie Bash will serve three types of loaded fries over at Flo’s V-8 Cafe! While you can try Buffalo Chicken and Loaded Gravy options, we’ve got our eyes on the Loaded Chili Fries. (I mean, can you blame us?!) Loaded Chili Fries The Loaded Chili Fries are steak fries topped with cheddar cheese, diced onions, sour cream, and the ever-famous Walt’s Chili for $7.99. And, oh boy, we just had to take a moment to admire all their glory! So, were they as amazing as they looked? The short answer is, YES! YUM The Loaded Chili Fries were our favorite of all three loaded fries! The chili meat isn’t ground beef but actually chunks of beef which were really tender and delicious. We thought it was a good ratio of chili to fries, and the fries themselves were fresh and cooked well. And at $7.99 it was a solid value! Loaded Chili Fries We also tried the Loaded Gravy Fries were Steak Fries topped with Chicken Tenders, Jack Cheese, and Gravy for $11.99. The gravy was really good but we noticed that it got cold very fast. Otherwise, it was a lot of food for the price, and the fries and chicken were both cooked perfectly. Loaded Gravy Fries Stick around with us throughout the night as we give you a look at everything happening during the Oogie Boogie Bash!

Halloween is HERE and Disneyland is joining in on the fall festivities! SPPPOOOKKKY Recently, the first night of Oogie Boogie Bash took place at Disney California Adventure Park, and we were there to check out all the tricks and treats! During the party, you’ll find themed snacks, treat trails, the Frightfully Fun Parade, and exciting character sightings. Something returning to the celebration this year is the spooky Villains Grove — and we have a first look at what you can expect on your journey through the frightful forest! Villains Grove can be found along the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in the Grizzly Peak area of Disney California Adventure Park. During Oogie Boogie Bash, the forest is transformed with themed decorations, lights, and sounds to fit each villain’s story as you travel through the spooky woods! Ready to Step Inside? There are 8 differently themed areas along the path: Frollo’s Sanctuary, Maleficent’s Will, Queen of Hearts Garden, Scar’s Elephant Graveyard, Dr. Facilier’s Friends on the Other Side, The Wicked Queen’s Lightning Forest, Home of the Wisps, and Dawn. Villains Grove Map When you first walk in, it’s really neat because there’s some mist and lighting effects that really set the tone for the rest of your time in this forest. The music is also quite eerie, again making you feel like you’ve stepped into a frightful place. Walking In In Frollo’s Sanctuary, you’ll find trees infused with incense smells. There are also candles and chanting voices to make you feel like you’ve really transported into a spooktacular spot straight out of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Time for the Frights to Begin In Maleficent’s Will you’ll find ravens, thorn-spiked vines, and all kinds of colors around you. So Much To See Once you fall down the rabbit hole, you’ll find a number of Alice-inspired projections, decorations, and lighting effects. Out of thin air, you might just start to see the Cheshire Cat begin to appear… He’s Starting to Appear …but as quickly as he appears, he can disappear, so be sure to keep an eye out for him. Hello Cheshire Cat! Along your path, you’ll also encounter a sign with some rather confusing directions. This Way? And when the lights flash, you’ll find different signs pointing you to the Mad Hatter. We wonder if he’s got a tea party set up. All Ways Lead to…a Tea Party? Also, inside of the Queen of Hearts Garden you’ll find self-painting roses! It’s hard to capture with a photo, but as the projections and light effects move throughout this space, you’ll see those roses change from white to red. Seems someone owes the Queen of Hearts a bit of an explanation. Painting the Roses Red! In Scar’s Elephant Graveyard, the hyena laughter is sure to raise the hairs on the back of your neck! The Hyenas Have Arrived! Dr. Facilier’s Friends on the Other Side have come all the way from New Orleans with their shadowy hands and colorful spells to try and lure you further into the forest. Watch out! Over at the Wicked Queen’s Lightning Forest you’ll find a storm that flashes from branch to branch, across the trees in the area. There’s also a “Home of the Wisps” area where some winged caretakers will help guide you back to safety. Another Look at the Map And finally, you’ll end your trip to the Villains Grove with the “Dawn” section, where flickering lanterns lead the way to the outside world! You’re Nearly Out The spoke effects and lighting in this area are especially neat and make for some really unique photos. Time to Escape! And that’s our look at everything you can expect inside the Villains Grove at Oogie Boogie Bash! Essentially, this is a walk-through area that’s full of spooky lights, projections, decorations, and music. It’s particularly fun to walk through to get those unique photos along the path. When we visited, the line for this experience was rather long, at about 40 minutes. So, if this is something on your must-do experience for Oogie Boogie Bash, be sure to set aside enough time for it.

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs! Disney Springs We’ve been eating our way through the fall season at Disney World and bringing you a look at all the happenings in the parks and resorts. And, today we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and FALL updates to share with you that you WON’T need a park ticket for to see yourself! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in! Disney Springs Food Update Candy Cauldron You can often find us chowing down on new Dole Whip creations at Marketplace Snacks or new themed cakes from Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs, but this week we spotted something new at Candy Cauldron — the Chili Lime Cupcake! This little creation features a green-colored cake that is seemingly a lime flavor and is topped with vanilla frosting. And, what gives it the chili, you ask? Well, the frosting is dusted with chili seasoning before being topped with a set of Minnie Ears. Chili Lime Cupcake We certainly could taste the chili flavor when we bit in, but it wasn’t nearly as spicy as we were expecting (and there was no heat to the spice). But, if you’re after a spicy cupcake in Disney World, you can give this one a try for yourself for $5.50 and see what you think! Click HERE for our FULL Review of the Chili Lime Cupcake! Disney Springs Merchandise Update World of Disney Over at World of Disney, we noticed that the collection of Disney nuiMOs clothing had grown and has now expanded over to a new rack. So, you can find all of the latest styles including some fall and back-to-school looks… Well hello there display racks! …and backpacks or Olympic gear here.

Celebrating 20 Seasons Of The Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House | Disneyland ResortView the full article

Halloween is now in full swing in Disneyland as the first Oogie Boogie Bash has arrived! ©Disney The separately ticketed event is held in Disney California Adventure Park on select nights from now until Halloween night. If you attend the party, you’ll see a spooky parade, characters in their Halloween costumes, get to go trick-or-treating, and you can try some exclusive, themed snacks! We visited last night for the first event of the season, and we’re sharing all the details on crowd levels and wait times. People with tickets to Oogie Boogie Bash can enter Disney California Adventure as early as 3PM. The Bash officially starts at 6PM (which is when regular day guests will have to leave the park) and the event ends at 11PM! The opening night’s event was completely sold out (as are all of the nights for Oogie Boogie Bash), so it’s definitely interesting to see what the crowds look like! Let’s do this thing! Early in the Evening When we first arrived, crowds were pretty average in the park. Many daytime guests were still wandering about through California Adventure. Things weren’t too bad at the beginning. Closer to the event’s start time, we got long lines outside of the park entrance. At this point, it was pretty crowded trying to get inside and things were a tad bit hectic. Pretty long lines to get into Oogie Boogie Bash Just remember to stay in your line and patiently wait it out — we’re all going to the same place! Can’t wait! Now it’s time to let the fun begin! Lines for Halloween Offerings As we started exploring Oogie Boogie Bash and checking out the special offerings, lines were already beginning to grow. The line to visit Agatha Harkness’s treat trail was pretty lengthy (and we waited in it three separate times before she finally came out for the evening!). Hey Agatha! The same was true with the line to visit Cruella. This version of the character is made to match the one from the recent live-action film. Along with Sid from Toy Story, these three characters were some of the most popular of the night! LOTS of people want to see Cruella! And if you wanted to visit the Villains Grove on the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, we were met with a 40-minute posted wait time at one point in the evening! We were able to get through the line in 30 minutes, but that’s still a pretty long wait for a walk-through attraction. We waited for a while! As the evening went on, things started to thin out just a bit as the crowd dispersed throughout the park. It wasn’t really “empty” per se, but you could’ve definitely gotten a few rides done! It cleared out a bit at the end of the evening. Some attractions were walk-ons, but even the biggest and most popular rides didn’t often have waits above 30 minutes. WEB Slingers in 25 minutes, yes, please! Even the park’s newest ride had a short wait time! That’s our look at the crowd levels and wait times on the first night of Oogie Boogie Bash! Stay tuned to DFB for more updates on the Halloween festivities. Click here to learn more about Oogie Boogie Bash!

It’s Spooky Season, folks! Watch Out for Oogie Boogie! Disney loves to celebrate Halloween early, so we’ve been enjoying lots of fall festivities in Disney World since early August! Now, Disneyland is joining in on the fun with Oogie Boogie Bash! We were at the event recently to see all of the themed treats, frightening villains, and more. But, if you visit Oogie Boogie Bash, you can also buy a ticket for a very special dessert party. We got the chance to check out this dessert party recently and now we’re sharing ALL the details with you! Guests attending Oogie Boogie Bash can add on a dinner or dessert package to their evening for some extra delicious fun. The Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party takes place at Sonoma Terrace, which is located in the Pacific Wharf area of Disney California Adventure Park Park. The party takes place about 45 minutes before the Frightfully Fun Parade begins and a ticket for the package gives you access to select snacks, drinks, and preferred seating for the parade. Frightfully Fun Parade The Dessert Party is $84 per person and you must also have a ticket to Oogie Boogie Bash to attend. Reservations are highly recommended. Same-day reservations may be made, subject to availability. All members of your party must be present before seating, so just keep that in mind. When we checked into the dessert party, we were taken to a table where there were napkins… Let’s Get This Dessert Party Started …and a menu. There were 6 different snacks available as well as some alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. A Look at the Menu The drink we got was the Festival Fall Punch, featuring a mixture of pineapple, orange, cranberry, and Sprite. It was topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. Our Fall Drink In terms of the treats, we were provided with one of each item. Time to Eat! The snacks included a red velvet bundt cake, orange dreamcicle rice crispy, chocolate meringue mousse, dark fudge cake pop, raspberry mini streusel, and gummy centipedes. Which would you pick? Again, keep in mind that one of the big perks of this dessert party is that it offers preferred seating for the Halloween-themed parade that takes place during Oogie Boogie Bash. We’ll be sharing a full review of this dessert party soon, so be sure to stay tuned for that. Another Look at Our Plate Stay tuned to DFB for more info and updates on the event.

Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Hollywood Studios After trying new Halloween treats and then the hustle and bustle of Labor Day, we went back to Hollywood Studios to see what’s new. So let’s dig in! We spotted a new store makeover happening, a few new merchandise items, and much lower crowds. Hollywood Studios Construction Update At Once Upon a Time, we discovered construction and painting going on outside of the store, and the building is currently covered with a royal blue material. Once Upon a Time The blue color actually looks kind of nice with the yellow window accents! SO blue Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates In Keystone Clothiers, we found a new What If…? figure for $49.99. What It…? is a new Marvel series on Disney+, in which different stories are imagined for existing Marvel Characters. The Hydra Stomper is from the “What If….Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?” episode in which Peggy Carter takes the super solder serum. What It? Hydra Stomper Instead of becoming Captain America, Steve Rogers then wears the Hydra Stomper suit to, well, stomp out the Hydra. This figure costs $49.99. Hydra Stomper We also found a new blue Nike hat at Once Upon a Time, with a classic embroidered image of Mickey along with “Athletic” and “Mickey Mouse.” New Mickey Hat Hollywood Studios Crowd Updates After Labor Day, crowds went down quite a bit. The park was not as empty as we’ve seen recently, but it was a big decrease from the Labor Day weekend crowds. Sunset Blvd Toy Story Land had way fewer people… Toy Story Land …and Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge was much calmer too. Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Crowds were able to stay pretty distanced, too. Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Click here to see what Labor Day crowds looked like in Disney World! And that’s what was new in Hollywood Studios! Keep reading DFB for more Disney Park updates and news!

We partied with Disney villains at the Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland yesterday! Oogie Boogie! The event has fun entertainment, plenty of villainous characters, and — of course — Halloween treats galore. One counter-service spot is serving up THREE different kinds of loaded fries, and we’re here to try them all. Let’s take a closer look at the new Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries! You can find these loaded fries at Flo’s V8 Cafe during the Oogie Boogie Bash! Flo’s V8 Cafe The Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries are steak fries topped with Cheddar Cheese, Chicken Tenders tossed in Buffalo sauce, and Celery bits sprinkled on top. The whole thing is drizzled with Ranch Dressing. Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries We thought these fries were really good! The Chicken Tenders were cut into large pieces, and the portions were a good size. This would make a great hefty snack or even a small meal if you’re not super hungry! Buffalo Chicken Fries You’ll definitely want a fork to tackle this snack! The fries were thick-cut but still pretty crispy, and the chicken was nice and tender. The sauce was a classic Buffalo sauce, so if you like the flavor of standard Buffalo wings, we think you’ll enjoy these! Close-up on the Buffalo Chicken We thought the fries were well worth what we paid, which was $11.99 at Flo’s V8 Cafe.

Many Disney World guests have been missing Extra Magic Hours, but while Extra Magic Hours won’t be returning, a new program, known as Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours will take its place. We’d live here if we could! Early Theme Park Entry will allow select Disney World resort guests (those staying in value and moderate resorts) entry into the parks 30 minutes before official opening time on select dates, while Extended Evening Hours lets guests who are staying at deluxe resorts stay an hour or two later in the theme parks after their official closing time, also on select dates. Now, Disney has added one more day to Extended Evening Hours in November. Guests staying at deluxe resorts will now get to hang out later at EPCOT on November 22nd and at Magic Kingdom on November 24th. ©Disney Remember that you will still need a valid ticket or Annual Pass, as well as a park reservation for the date of the Extended Evening Hours you wish to attend. However, if you have added the park hopping option to your ticket, you can attend extended evening hours as long as you have first checked into the park you reserved for that day. Disney’s Beach Club, a deluxe resort Note that not all attractions, shops, and dining are open during the extended evening hours, so keep that in mind when making your plans for each day of your trip. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the Disney World calendar for you, so if any additional Extended Evening Hours get added, we’ll let you know! Annual Passes Are Back!

Over the years, Disney World has made some pretty unique snacks and treats! Grand Floridian Gingerbread House Replica We’ve seen some truly fun desserts for Halloween and during the Christmas season, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort makes a life-size gingerbread house! And if we were making a list of the coolest Disney confections of all time, then the treat we spotted today would definitely qualify. Yesterday, actress Whoopi Goldberg was visiting Walt Disney World to help film for the 50th Anniversary. During her visit, she was surprised with a gift from some Disney pastry chefs…a gift so spectacular that she had to share it on her Instagram stories! @whoopigoldberg on Instagram Basically, Whoopi got the Disney gift of our dreams — a park map made out of chocolate and other sweet treats! @whoopigoldberg on Instagram The massive creation took up most of the table it was sitting on, and it seems as though the base of the sculpture was hand-painted to look like Disney World’s map. On top of the base sit four recreations of the park icons. @whoopigoldberg on Instagram The edges of the map are lined with individual chocolates and candies, and the whole display is circled by a wall that says “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.” @whoopigoldberg on Instagram In the back of the map is a replica of Cinderella Castle with Whoopi and Mickey standing out front. They’ve even got fireworks going off in the back! @whoopigoldberg on Instagram Wouldn’t it be SO cool if you could purchase something like this? What a magical (and delicious!) way to celebrate a special occasion! Those pastry chefs are incredibly talented, hats off to these artists.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been undergoing quite a few changes lately. Front Entrance Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort reopened in July and we were able to tour the newly remodeled rooms that were inspired by Moana and feature tons of Moana designs and details. The Monorail Station for the Polynesian reopened this week, and now the front entrance is officially open to guests! Come with us as we take a look at the front entrance makeover. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort reopened before the Monorail station and front entrance remodels were finished, so they remained temporarily blocked off to guests, who had to use a side entrance to the lobby for the past few months. Now that the Monorail Station has reopened and the front entrance is (mostly) finished, guests can enter there again! Polynesian Village Resort The new colorful panels have been installed, and they really brighten up the resort. You can see that they extend to the Monorail Station too. New panels! There’s still a bit of construction and landscaping being done in front of the Polynesian, but it’s mostly completed. A little construction We saw guests checking in near the front entrance, and buses and cars driving through. Front Entrance As you make your way toward the entrance of Poly, you cross over a walkway and a wooden bridge and there’s so much beautiful landscaping and greenery that it almost makes you feel truly transported to a tropical island. Walkway If you look closely, you can see that the walkway was updated with a new stone pattern. Walkway Details The landscaping was also spruced up, and it looked beautiful. Greenery If we could spend all day in this area, we probably would. Fountain Just look how gorgeous it is! So pretty! Eventually, we tore ourselves away from the landscaping to enter the front doors. Entrance And that’s the new front entrance to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! What do you think of all the changes? Keep reading DFB for all your Disney World news!
