EPCOT has been undergoing a BIG transformation for quite some time now. EPCOT The project is coming along, with a new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth, reimagined Leave A Legacy displays at the entrance of the park, and new rides coming soon! As part of the changes, some EPCOT staples have closed to make way for new additions. Club Cool closed in 2019, but we found out earlier this year that a revitalized version of the fan-favorite spot is coming back to EPCOT. And we now know WHEN the new Club Cool will open! The revitalized version of Club Cool will be opening in EPCOT on September 15th, 2021, according to a recent post on Twitter from Disney. ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) If you were unfamiliar with it, at the old Club Cool, guests used to be able to try out Coca-Cola products from around the world, including the famously unique Beverly drink from Italy. According to Imagineer Zach Riddley, “Club Cool tells the uniquely EPCOT story about flavors of the world connecting people globally – where Guests can taste test popular Coca-Cola flavors from different countries including the beloved Beverly, which…WILL have a spot on the soda fountain upon reopening!” Beverly! Disney has said that the new Club Cool will “celebrate Coca-Cola in a fresh new way, while keeping the fan-favorite experience that invites you to explore tasty drinks from around the world.” Club Cool They’ve also noted that “this space will…have some new magic to bring the global experience of Coca-Cola to life for you.” Club Cool Sodas So far we’ve gotten a look at the new Club Cool sign from a distance… Our first glimpse at the Club Cool sign …a view of this spot from the outside and a tiny peek at the inside too. ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) We’ve also gotten to see some of the unique details you’ll find in this space, including some cool flooring! Imagineers actually used recycled Coca-Cola glass chips and incorporated those INTO the terrazzo! ©Zach Riddley/Disney We can’t wait to see what the revitalized Club Cool experience will be like. We’ll be sure to bring you lots of updates when we get the chance to step into this space ourselves. Until then, you can still buy a variety of Coca-Cola products at the Coca-Cola store and rooftop beverage bar in Disney Springs. Stay tuned to DFB for updates!

Weather in Florida can be pretty unpredictable, which is why we always recommend that you come prepared when you’re visiting Disney World! Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom Especially in the summertime, there’s almost always a chance for a little bit of rain. This week, there’s more than just a small chance that we’ll see rainy weather in the parks! According to the Orlando Sentinel, the National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on a system that’s projected to travel over Central Florida this week. ©Orlando Sentinel Right now, this system is just “disorganized showers and thunderstorms in the Gulf of Mexico” (orlandosentinel.com), but there’s a small chance that it could grow into a tropical storm. The NHC believes this is unlikely, and instead, Central Florida will likely just see some heavy rain and thunderstorms over the next few days. It can get real stormy at Disney World! There is a hurricane going on in the Atlantic right now (Hurricane Larry), but it’s not projected to hit Florida at all. Stormy weather at Disney World Over the next few days, starting Tuesday, September 7th, the chance for rain and thunderstorms in Central Florida is about 50% to 60%. By Saturday, that projection drops to about 40%, according to the National Weather Service. Rainy Day So make sure you’re packing for rain over the next few days with ponchos, umbrellas, and extra socks! Read our review of a Disney poncho here!

Even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, things go wrong. People might get sick, kids might have meltdowns, and things might get lost. Not open for business yet! Actually, things DO get lost quite a lot! And some of the most commonly lost items in Disney World might surprise you! Disney World can be so dizzyingly distracting and exciting that it’s all too easy to overlook the fact that you’ve misplaced something. It happens to the best of us! Oh no, Donald! Fortunately, Disney World’s lost and found procedures are a well-oiled machine, which should come in handy should you lose one of the most common items LOST in Disney World. Sunglasses It’s often quite sunny in Disney World, which increases the need for sunglasses for pretty much everyone. By simple math then, it makes sense that these easily droppable accessories are the MOST commonly lost item in Disney World — by a LONG shot! Oops! According to Disney, 210 pairs are turned into Magic Kingdom’s lost and found EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Not only that, since opening in 1971, they estimate they’ve collected over 1.65 MILLION pairs of lost sunglasses! How to Prepare for the Weather in Disney World Next Week! Hats Another item that’s all too easy to fall off your head, hats take the silver for most misplaced item in Disney World. Now, THIS is a fashion statement. Per Disney, about 18,000 hats get lost in the parks annually. That’s a LOT of headgear! Do You Think These Simple Minnie Ears Are Worth $50 in Disney World!? Cellphones Whether they slip out of your pocket or you forget it at a restaurant table, cellphones are another frequently misplaced item in Disney World. Don’t lose these Considering Cast Members collect more than 6,000 of these bad boys annually, it sounds like Disney World could open its own cellphone store as a side hustle! Upgrade Your Phone With These Gorgeous Alice in Wonderland Disney Wallpapers! Autograph Books With pandemic changes, the statistics on lost autograph books have probably changed dramatically this past year and a half, but pre-2020, these collectible books were CONSTANTLY being left behind! Autograph Books Cast Members used to find 7,500 of these annually, in fact. How To Score The Best Disney Character Autographs Other Commonly Lost Items Exact amounts aren’t really known, but there are also several other accessories that are commonly lost in Disney World too, and most are pretty understandable. Hang on to these MagicBands, pins, and jewelry are all frequently reported to lost and found, and the same is true of errant backpacks and bags! Why Are These Disney MagicBands So Expensive? Crutches, Canes, and…Body Parts? Some items that are LESS expected to find in lost and found include essentials like crutches…and prosthetic body parts?! Lost Elsa braid. At least it isn’t a leg It seems odd that someone would “misplace” something that seems pretty vital, but Disney has in fact collected things like canes, crutches, and even prosthetic legs and glass eyes! An apt reminder to keep an eye on your glass eyes, folks. What To Do If You Lose Something All that being said, if this misfortune should befall YOU, here’s what to do if you lose something in Disney World! Your first order of action should simply be to return to the site where you think you may have lost or misplaced something. When a Cast Member finds a lost item, they often put it on top of a nearby trashcan, in case someone comes back looking for it shortly after it was lost. We can’t tell if this is sad or funny. If that doesn’t work, visit the nearest Guest Relations in one of the parks, or the front desk at a resort. You can put in a request on an online web form. In our experience, this system can be hit or miss, but Disney does provide updates as they search for your item. If they are able to locate the item, Disney will generally mail it back to you free of charge. Animal Kingdom Guest Relations If you want to try and avoid losing things in Disney World (or avoid losing something irreplaceable to you) take a good look at what you’re packing. Maybe don’t bring that necklace that’s been in the family for generations, and consider packing that cheap pair of sunglasses you have rather than bringing your most expensive pair. And try to take regular stock of what you’ve got in the parks each time you leave a ride, restaurant, etc. so you can keep track of what you have with you! “Everyone got cell phones? Sunglasses? Backpacks? Let’s go!” It was left here so deliberately? On a fence? The next time you accidentally misplace a pair of sunglasses (or a glass eye), just know that you’re not alone! Follow these simple procedures, and you’ll hopefully be reunited with your lost items in no time! 4 Important Tips You Haven’t Heard, But Need To Know For Your Next Disney Vacation Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many businesses around the world and has had tremendous impacts on the travel industry. Orlando International Airport We’ve been looking for updates regarding travel, especially when it comes to crowd levels at Orlando International Airport. Recently, we also shared some details about how Orlando International Airport was expecting to exceed pre-pandemic crowd levels during the Labor Day weekend. So, just what did the travel levels look like at Orlando’s airport during this holiday? According to WESH 2 News, in the six-day travel period for the Labor Day holiday “at Orlando International Airport, the number of departing flights is up 7% over 2019.” Orlando International Airport Spring Break Crowds WESH notes that Tuesday (September 7th) will actually mark the end of the 6-day travel period for the Labor Day holiday, but traditionally that is the least traveled day. Orlando International Airport This past weekend, we also saw an increase in crowds at Disney World, likely due to the Labor Day holiday. A Look at Some of the Crowds But, it seemed like crowd levels on Monday (Labor Day itself) were a bit lower (at least in some spots) compared to what we saw during the weekend. Click here for a full look at what the Labor Day crowds looked like in Disney World. With Disney World’s 50th Anniversary approaching, as well as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the winter holidays, we’ll be interested to see how the crowd levels in Disney World continue to change and evolve.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Back in July, mask policies changed in Disney World and mask policies recently were updated again slightly. Currently, Disney requires all guests ages 2 and older to wear masks indoors and on most forms of transportation. Mask Signage Over the past few weeks and months, we’ve seen some price changes when it comes to face masks, and for a time it was pretty difficult to even find Disney masks in the parks. Today, we saw masks available in Disney World, but there’s a BIG reason why you wont want to buy them in the parks. At EPCOT, we noticed that face masks are now being sold for $19.99 for a set of 2 masks. This comes just months after we saw major sales and discounts when it comes to face masks on shopDisney and also buy one, get one free sales in Disney World. Masks Back when we saw buy one, get one free sales in Disney World, a single mask cost $9.99, meaning you could get 2 for that price. Now, a two-pack of masks in Disney World generally costs $19.99. Face Masks So, why SHOULDN’T you buy these 2-packs of masks in Disney World for $19.99? Well, you can actually get the 2-pack of Mickey Mouse Hearts Masks for $11.99 on shopDisney. Again, that’s $11.99 for a 2-pack of masks online, versus $19.99 for a 2-pack of masks in the parks. ©shopDisney This set is limited-release and includes one mask with “I Heart Mickey” written on the front, and the other with a print of little Mickeys among red hearts. Get the 2-pack of Mickey Mouse Hearts Mask here! You can also get the 2-pack of Walt Disney World masks for $11.99 online. ©Disney Again, that’s an $8 difference than the price for a 2-pack of masks in the parks. Click here to check out these masks. You can also get a some 4-pack of masks on shopDisney right now for $19.99, like this set of Stitch masks. Yes, that’s 4 masks online for the price of 2 in the parks. ©shopDisney This pack of four masks comes in four different prints inspired by Stitch from Lilo & Stitch, and there are currently four sizes available, including youth small and medium, and adult large and extra large. Get the 4-pack of Stitch face masks here! So, if you’re planning an upcoming Disney World trip, you can save BIG by buying those masks ahead of time!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some amazing rides, like Avatar Flight of Passage in Pandora — The World of Avatar, and unique food, like the Ahi Tuna Nachos at Yak and Yeti Restaurant. Tree of Life Recently, we rode Na’vi River Journey and found that the Shaman of Songs animatronic was missing. Now, we’re heading around Animal Kingdom to check out what else is new around the park. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Food Updates One of the biggest pieces of news from Animal Kingdom is that POG juice is BACK! A little while ago, this delicious juice disappeared from most of the locations in the parks and resorts where we used to be able to find it. We were informed that there was a shortage of POG juice from the supplier, causing the disappearance of the this fan-favorite drink in Disney World. Note that POG Juice was previously supplied by Minute Maid/Coca-Cola. A Drink With POG Juice! But, now, Disney is using a NEW provider for POG juice — Nestle. What does this mean? From what we understand, POG juice is on its way back to Disney World and is set to once again be available on its own or as part of various cocktails. We were actually able to get POG juice (also known as Jungle Juice) in the form of a cocktail — the Ngumu Jungle Juice with Snow Leopard Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps, and Tusker’s famous Jungle Juice — over at Dawa Bar in Animal Kingdom for $13. Ready for Some POG Juice? Even though the supplier has changed, it tasted very similar to the other POG juice. We’re so happy to see POG juice back in action in Disney World. Click here to see more about the return of POG Juice! Animal Kingdom Crowd Updates Recently, the crowd levels at the Disney parks had been LOW — like, walk-on-to-Flight-of-Passage-low. Although we’re still seeing fewer people than “normal” in Animal Kingdom, the holiday weekend has crowd levels higher than they’ve been recently. Animal Kingdom Crowds have picked up When we visited the park on Saturday, Flight of Passage had a relatively short line, with a 15-minute wait time early in the morning. 15 minute wait time! The wait for Expedition Everest was also very low during one of our visits this past weekend, with a 5-minute wait time early in the day. Expedition Everest Upon opening, the wait times weren’t too bad when we visited on the weekend. But, by noon, lines were starting to pick up.

We’ve been hunting down Halloween treats in Disney World lately, and we’ve found some pretty delicious ones! The parks are full of Halloween decor! So far, we’ve tried Haunted Mansion Chocolate Eclairs, a Halloween Milkshake that tastes like candy corn, and more! But the treats are still coming. We found a NEW themed dome cake at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort today and it features an obscure Disney character. The new dome cake at the Polynesian Resort is decorated to look like…Scrump! For those who may not recognize this character, Scrump is Lilo’s rag doll from Lilo and Stitch. Scrump Dome Cake The Scrump Dome Cake tasted like a vanilla cake with a cotton candy flavor inside. The outside featured red icing at the base and chocolate pearls. For decoration, there was a pink chocolate bow and hair topper, along with more chocolate decorations. You can find it at Capt. Cook’s We thought the cake was very sweet, which is probably to be expected with all of the icing and pieces of chocolate on top plus the flavor of cotton candy we got from the inside. The cotton candy flavor came through strongly in the inside, so if you’re a big fan of that flavor, you won’t be disappointed! Scrump Dome Cake We thought the vanilla cake was a little bit plain. If it had been funfetti or chocolate that could have added a bit more in terms of flavor to the cake portion of the treat. New cake alert! Overall, it was super sweet and heavy on the cotton candy flavor. We’d recommend this cake to lovers of cotton candy and really sweet treats! It’s also very Instagram-able, so if you’re searching for a unique-looking snack to treat your followers to, this is a fun option. Here’s a look at the inside We got the Scrump Dome Cake for $5.49 at Kona Island, but you can also grab it at Capt. Cook’s, both of which are located in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Planning to visit Disney World during the Halloween season? We went to the NEW After Hours Boo Bash event. Check out our video below to learn more about that!

On April 12, 1992, Disneyland Paris officially welcomed guests for the first time after years of imagination, planning and development to bring Walt Disney’s magical dream to life in Europe. Three decades later, the resort has continued to expand with new stories, characters and adventures, including beloved franchises such as Pixar, Star Wars and MARVEL, becoming the number one tourist destination in Europe.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/lIlT1rEz_OUView the full article

The Pandora: World of Avatar land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some awesome rides, like Flight of Passage, and some delicious food, such as the cheeseburger pods at Satu’li Canteen! Pandora Today, we stopped by the Na’vi River Journey ride and sailed through the gorgeous land of Pandora — but one BIG part of the ride was missing. One of the things the Na’vi River Journey is known for is the amazing animatronics inside the ride. The animatronics portray the Na’vi people from the movie Avatar. Today, while we were on this ride, we noticed that one was missing. Na’vi River Journey The Shaman of Songs animatronic was not in its usual spot. Instead, there was a screen with a video of the Shaman playing. This happens fairly regularly in Disney World, as Imagineers take the machines to be serviced or fixed. Missing Shaman’s screen replacement We’ve seen it happen before over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride and Rise of the Resistance, as well as on other rides throughout the Disney parks. Does anyone else still crack up when they remember the plant replacement for Donald Duck’s animatronic in the Gran Fiesta Tour ride in EPCOT? May we just say…WHAT?! So we’re expecting the Na’vi Shaman to return to the Pandora attraction soon! But for now, you will just see the Shaman of Songs on a screen.

The holiday season is just around the corner! No, seriously. WE MEAN IT. Disney has been in Halloween mode for nearly a month now and if you blink they’ll be decking the halls! Before we know it, we’ll ALL be putting up lights, hanging our stockings, and eating delicious snacks! One of the best things about holidays at the Disney parks (besides the epic decorations!) is the wonderful food! ©Disney We’re already pumped to celebrate the holidays at the Disney parks (we’re even writing our Disney Holiday Guide already!). For today, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite Disney holiday recipes that we’ve found over the years! Come along and get ready for the holiday season with us! Star Wars Ugly Sweater Cookies What are the holidays without ugly sweaters and cookies? You can ring in the most wonderful time of the year with this Mon Calamari Ugly Sweater Cookie! Who are the Mon Calamari? They’re the squid-looking aliens (get it…calamari?!) you’ll see around the Star Wars universe. Ever seen the popular “It’s a trap!” meme? That’s a Mon Calamari right there Now, they’re getting down with the holiday spirit! © Star Wars This recipe came from the Official Star Wars website and they’re sooooo cool! They take a little bit of work, but they’re definitely worth it. If you love to make cute Christmas cookies, this is the one for you. And if you have an office cookie exchange, these are sure to turn some heads and stand out from your more general holiday cookies! Gingerbread, Star Wars, icing, and ugly sweater — what the holidays are all about, right?! Click here to read the recipe for these cookies! Christmas Charcuterie Boards Charcuterie boards made a HUGE comeback during the last few years. But why stop at meat and fancy cheese? Why not do something a little sweeter? Well, we discovered two Disney-themed Christmas charcuterie boards! The first was a Christmas Cocoa Board with all the hot cocoa fixings you could possibly need, complete with candy canes, hot chocolate bombs, and so much more! We love this aesthetic and think it’ll be super fun for hosting a Christmas party or a family night with everyone customizing their own cocoa and finding that perfect cocoa combination! ©Disney Parks Blog The second board is a Christmas morning spread. This Mickey Waffle-themed board is the perfect way to start your day with plenty of Mickey Waffles and all the toppings! We walk you through how to perfect these iconic bites with step-by-step instructions. And then the sky is the limit with picking your family’s favorite toppings and sauces to customize your own Mickey Waffle Charcuterie! ©Disney Parks Blog These boards do require some work planning, and some intentional shopping to gather all the toppings, but they’re so creative and worth it for that beautiful Instagram pic. In addition to just looking impressive, they are also delicious and we’re suckers for Mickey Waffles and endless toppings! Click here to see how to make your very own boards! Crema Catalana For those of you who are longtime fans of the restaurant Toledo at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, you know about the Crema Catalana! This is a citrusy, cinnamony treat that’s a lot like a crème brûlée! This treat will give you a little taste of Spain, right in your home!
