It looks like Disney may have a villainous surprise in the works! Time for Some Villains! Disney villains are some of the characters that we truly love to hate. We’ve seen some villains-themed merchandise lines in the parks, deliciously evil snacks dedicated to the baddies, and even designer bags themed after the meanest fashionista we know. Now, we’re seeing clues that indicate a special Disney villains event could be coming soon to Orlando! According to a post placed on the Disney Auditions website, Disney is looking for actors to portray classic Disney villains for an event in Central Florida. All we know about the event so far is that it will take place October 16th through October 22nd of this year in Central Florida, and it involves lots of classic Disney villains. The audition notice specifically states that Disney is looking for actors who can “emulate” the villains “as they appear in their original animated feature.” Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the most EVIL of them all? The villains on the list for casting notice are: Anastasia Captain Hook Cruella Dr. Facilier Drizella Gaston Hades Jafar Kronk Lady Tremaine Maleficient Queen of Hearts The Evil Queen Yzma Gaston Disney is looking for people who “have a resemblance, and voice quality of the original” villain. They’ve even stated that travel for some of the roles may be available for the actors. Want to audition? You’ll want to act fast because submissions are due no later than September 2nd, 2021. Disney Villains Cavalcade You can actually click on each of the villains in the casting post to see the lines Disney wants to hear in the audition. Maleficent’s Fiery Prowl In the past, Disney villains have taken over the Magic Kingdom at the Disney Villains After Hours event and you can see a number of villains during BOO Bash. BOO Bash will be taking place during select nights in August, September, and October, but it seems this casting notice could be for something different. What special event is Disney casting for with this audition notice? Will it be the return of a villains-themed event we’ve seen in the past or something entirely different? Right now, Disney really hasn’t shared any information on that. We’ll keep our eyes peeled and let you know when we find out more about this mysterious event!

It’s nearly impossible to visit Disney World without at least walking through a gift shop; and each store is typically filled with lots of different, sometimes new and very popular, items to pick from. Disney Merchandise Galore! From new Mickey ears to the latest Crocs, there’s a wide variety of souvenirs you could bring home. But, Disney has recently implemented a new merchandise policy that you need to know about before your next visit. In the past, we’ve seen Disney implement stricter merchandise limits than usual on select items. Back in November of 2020, for example, Disney placed a stricter limit on how many items a guest could buy from select limited edition merchandise releases. And just recently, we saw that Disney placed a 2-per-item limit on newly released Halloween merchandise. Hocus Pocus Plushes While we were walking around Magic Kingdom today, however, we noticed that the 2-per-item limit had been extended to other, non-Halloween items. Over at Star Traders in Magic Kingdom, we spotted signs indicating that there was a 2-per-item, per guest limit on purchases for items all throughout the store. See the Limited Purchase Sign? We spoke with a Cast Member there and they told us that the limit is generally applicable throughout the store and is actually being applied to nearly all merchandise throughout Magic Kingdom. When we asked why the limit had been placed, the Cast Member mentioned that it was mostly a supply issue and that they were a bit more limited in terms of their merchandise supply at the moment. You Can Get a Peek at Another Sign in the Bottom of the Picture We made our way over to the Emporium and were able to chat with a Cast Member there as well. The Cast Member at the Emporium told us that, as of today, the two per item, per guest rule has been implemented property wide throughout Disney World. A Peek at the Sign Advising Guests About the Purchase Limit It’s unclear how long this merchandise limit will be in effect, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more updates on that. If you’ll be visiting Disney World soon, just be sure to keep this merchandise limit in mind. Make sure you check whether the limit is still in effect during your trip, and whether it is in effect for the merchandise you’re looking to buy and/or the park/store you’re visiting.

Cinderella’s Royal Table reopened last year with modified character dining, but at the time, only lunch and dinner were being served. Since then, we heard the announcement that breakfast would be returning to this iconic Magic Kingdom restaurant. Cinderella’s Royal Table We grabbed a reservation and now we’re back in the early morning hours to check out what breakfast looks like these days at Cinderella’s Royal Table! We arrived at Cinderella’s Castle to check in for our reservation… Cinderella’s Castle …where we gave our name to the Cast Members standing outside. Cast Members Outside We got a text shortly after telling us our table was ready. Confirmation text We went inside and a host brought us to our table. Dining Room We gotta say, you really can’t beat the atmosphere at Cinderella’s Royal Table! Gorgeous! Since it was announced that breakfast was returning to Cinderella’s Royal Table, we had wondered what the menu would look like. We since learned that there were specialty wine cocktails (also served as a flight), an appetizer pastry plate, a few options for entrees, and more breakfast drinks including soft drinks, coffee, hot tea, and juice. Breakfast is $42 per adult and $27 per child, plus tax and gratuity. This includes the pastry plate, an entree, and beverages, but it doesn’t include the specialty wine. Menu Here’s a closer look at the entrees available. ©Disney For our drink, we tried the Royal Breakfast Flight. Royal Breakfast Flight This flight included samplings of Mimosa with Paul Cheneau Lady of Spain Cava and Orange Juice, Canella Bellini Sparkling Peach Cocktail, and Opici Family Selection Sangria. But you could still say hello and take pictures! Cinderella We were given an autograph card as a souvenir from our visit as well. Autograph Card On our way out, we took in some views from the Castle.

Happy Halloween! It may still be sweltering hot where you are, but Disney World is ready to whip out the ghosts, goblins, and pumpkin everything! Disney World is already decorated for the holiday and we’ve attended the first Disney After Hours Boo Bash. Spooky season has officially arrived! We’re back at Hollywood & Vine! With the change of the seasons can only mean one thing over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: the return of Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood & Vine! Now here’s the thing — since its reopening, Hollywood & Vine has been blowing us away. Before Disney World closed, this restaurant was a (pretty lackluster) buffet, but after it reopened last year, it became a pre-fixe dining experience. We LOVED seeing our favorite characters decked out in their Halloween best last year, so we were excited to check out the experience one year later. But did Hollywood & Vine blow us away with the Minnie’s Halloween Dine experience this year, too? Atmosphere Head right down Hollywood Blvd upon entering the park then make a hard left near Echo Lake and you’ll hit Hollywood and Vine on your left. Hollywood & Vine Peek up when entering too — you might spy a famous Disney private eye’s office in the windows upstairs. See it in the window on the top left?? When we last visited Hollywood & Vine, many adjustments had been made to account for the health and safety guidelines of that time. Here’s what it looked like inside then (VERY spread out!): Plexiglass Dividers Now that many of the health and safety guidelines have been relaxed, so, too has the atmosphere of the restaurant. For starters, tables are closer together now, although the plexiglass dividers remain. Here’s what it looks like inside now: Seating now Like last year, the Halloween mural for a photo op was available at the entrance, but there are still no characters to pose with there. Photo op! Also like last year, we were encouraged to check-in for our reservation via the Mobile Dine Check-In on the My Disney Experience app. ©Disney The good news is that you’ll still get to see plenty of characters, so let’s get to that! Characters Minnie and her best pals are here in their Halloween best. However, like last year, Donald and Daisy are still missing from the character lineup! But it’s nice to see the characters in their Halloween costumes (and they are the same outfits as last year). First up, Goofy was dressed as a cowboy. Howdy, Goofy The characters are still not interacting closely with guests, but are doing a great job at posing for photos and selfies. And they managed to get close enough to tables so those photos could happen. Pluto came out in his special Halloween collar. Woof! And of course, it’s not a party without the mouse himself, Mickey! He’s still dressed as a vampire this year! He looks VERY dapper, don’t you think? Love that collar, Mic! Vampire Mickey And of course, there is no Minnie’s Halloween Dine without Minnie, so she came out with Mickey! Doesn’t she look beWITCHing? Those green tights and matching purple gloves are FASHUN, y’all. We need them in our lives. Witch Minnie During our meal, we saw all four characters twice and they did a good job of alternating where they appeared in the restaurant. Note that you cannot get up from your table to take photos of the characters — you must remain seated when they’re coming around to your table. And sometimes table location can affect how well you can see the characters, although they do try to situate themselves for ideal viewing for everyone during the course of your meal. At the end of the meal, you get a character postcard… Cute Halloween art! …which has autographs on the back! Autographs As you can tell, characters are still not signing things in person for guests. We’ve actually grown rather fond of collecting these cards at character meals though! Eats So let’s get to the eats. Now, this is where Hollywood & Vine has impressed us since switching over to the pre-fixe menu. And we’re going to tell you right up front — it did not disappoint this time either! You get salad and bread, which everyone shares, and then each guest gets an option of one entree and one dessert per person. The cost is $55 per adult and $36 per child. Coffee, tea, and sodas are included in the price, although you also have the option to pay extra for alcoholic beverages, including cocktails… ©Disney …white wine… ©Disney …red wine, and beer. ©Disney Entree choices include Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Sliced Tenderloin, Carved Herb-roasted Turkey Breast, Macaroni & Cheese with Shrimp, and more. The entrees are mostly unchanged from last Halloween. The Plant-Based option has swapped from Pan Roasted Trumpet Mushrooms to an Asparagus and Summer Truffle Risotto. The nummy Pork Osso Bucco we enjoyed last time is replaced by a Spice-rubbed Pork Loin. The beef option is largely unchanged but the cut of meat has shifted from Prime Rib to a Tenderloin. ©Disney Dessert selections include White Chocolate Cheesecake, Spiced Cherry Cake, Chocolate S’mores Pie, and more. Again, a few desserts have swapped from last year while other remain. ©Disney You get Sweet Yeast Rolls with Whipped Butter to start. We will always say “yes” to bread! We could make a meal out of these rolls alone. The Chopped Salad Bowl is made with Mixed Greens, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Red Onion, Cornbread Croutons, and Homemade Smokehouse Ranch Dressing. Everything is already tossed with the dressing, which had a great peppery flavor. The cornbread croutons were buttery, and crunchy, and are pretty tasty, too. Simple, but tasty Although this is a pretty basic salad, it was enjoyable. All the ingredients were simple but fresh. And it was the perfect starter to the meal. We think it might have been kicked up a notch, though, if there was some cheese on it, but then again, you know how we feel about cheese — we think it should go on almost everything! Fresh! For the entree, we chose the Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Sliced Beef Tenderloin, which is served with Sour Cream and Chive Whipped Potatoes, Sautéed Green Beans, and Herb Relish. We ordered it medium rare it came out just as we ordered. We loved the peppery crust on the meat. Look at that perfectly cooked meat! The Herb Relish is almost like a Chimichurri sauce, but went great with the meat by adding just a touch more yummy flavor. That herb relish The Whipped Potatoes were warm and buttery and we love that they made it with the skins still on the potatoes! The addition of sour cream just made them that much more creamy. BUT we thought they needed just a touch more seasoning. Nothing a little additional salt and pepper can’t handle, though! Taters The Green Beans were buttery and had just the perfect amount of seasoning, though. They weren’t soggy either (there’s nothing sadder than a soggy green bean, people) — they were nice and crisp. Considering the meat plus the two sides here, you’re getting a really good portion size of food! This was a really enjoyable entree done remarkably well. Crispy green beans for the win! And for dessert, we tried the White Chocolate Cheesecake, which is served with Guava Sauce, Fresh Whipped Cream, and Mint. This was delicious — it has just a touch of white chocolate flavor, so it’s not overbearing. The crust was sweet and buttery, and worked great with the cheesecake. Cheesecake! The Guava sauce was very strong, though, and although we liked the tartness, it might not be for everyone. Ours was only poured over a small portion of the cheesecake, and we’re sure you could ask your server to skip the sauce or just ask for it on the side if you’re concerned. The Whipped Cream was nice and light and did help sweeten the guava flavor. Just one bite…? For the record, we would 100% order this again. This is one of the more simple desserts on the menu and sure to please a wide range of people. Nosh Or Not Head on over to Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood & Vine if… You want a character meal that legitimately serves great food (or a character meal at ALL in Hollywood Studios — this is your only option!). If you love Halloween and want to see characters in their costumes. You’re looking for a break on your long Hollywood Studios day. This is a great chance to sit for a while, cool off, and enjoy a nice meal. Skip Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood & Vine… You don’t want to spend valuable park time at a character meal. You have a large party — the price of this meal could add up fast considering it’s already over $100 for two adults. You really miss that old buffet and the idea of paying buffet-level prices for a small selection of choices isn’t appealing to you. Overall We’re still impressed with the food and experience at Hollywood & Vine, even with Minnie’s Halloween Dine. We had a lot of fun seeing the characters in their costumes, even if they haven’t changed since last year. The service here is also awesome and we enjoyed seeing Cast Members interact with the characters. The cute Halloween details, like the photo op and the autograph cards, are fun, too. Also, the food here is solidly good — much better than when it was a buffet. That’s not always the case with character meals, so you’re getting the best of both worlds here. Characters plus great food? Count us in! The breakfast here is good but, given the choice, we’d pick dinner. The food tips the scales plus it’s hard to compare seeing Mickey, Minnie, and co. in costume versus the Disney Junior characters you’ll meet at breakfast. (Though if you have a younger one with you, they might argue differently!). We also didn’t feel rushed to finish our meal and had a chance to relax and enjoy both the food and the characters, but for some, that might be a downside — especially as it will cut into your park time. It can also get pricey here, especially if you choose to eat some of the more simple menu items (we felt the tenderloin was well worth the cost), so it’s ultimately dependent on what you plan on ordering for your entree if you want to really feel like you’re maxing out the value. That being said, we can highly recommend spending some Halloween time here for some good seasonal fun.

A man on a JetBlue plane threw his luggage at other passengers and put his head up a flight attendant’s skirt. On a different JetBlue flight, a woman refused to wear a mask, shouted obscenities at the crew and punched a passenger. A man flying Southwest assaulted fellow passengers because someone would not change seats. All these alleged incidents — and many more — happened on flights to or from Orlando this year. View the full article FAA fines against unruly passengers reach $1 million as hostile incidents disrupt travel By TIFFINI THEISEN ORLANDO SENTINEL | AUG 27, 2021 AT 5:30 AM FILE -- Travelers board a Jet Blue flight from Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Fla., to Washington Reagan Airport, on March 1, 2021. The Federal Aviation Administration said it had fielded 1,300 complaints of unruly passengers since February 2021, the same number of enforcement actions it took against passengers in the past decade. (Erin Schaff/The New York Times) A man on a JetBlue plane threw his luggage at other passengers and put his head up a flight attendant’s skirt. On a different JetBlue flight, a woman refused to wear a mask, shouted obscenities at the crew and punched another passenger. A man flying Southwest Airlines assaulted fellow passengers because someone in his row would not change seats to accommodate his travel partner. All these alleged incidents — and many more — happened on flights to or from Orlando this year. FLORIDA NEWS Passenger, 70, accused of hitting flight attendant is arrested, may face $40,000 in fines AUG 06, 2021 AT 12:02 PM Civil penalties against unruly airline passengers nationwide have climbed past $1 million in 2021, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency says it has received 3,988 reports of unruly passengers so far this year. Nearly three in four of these incidents — 2,928 — involve passengers refusing to wear face masks against the spread of COVID-19. On Tuesday, the FAA published a video featuring the sounds of some of the chaos in the cabins, along with audio of pilots and air-traffic controllers discussing how to handle various tense and violent situations. “Unruly behavior doesn’t fly,” the video’s tagline reads. In January, the FAA announced a zero-tolerance policy in which unruly passengers no longer get warnings or second chances. Cases go right to enforcement. The federal agency can only levy civil penalties. Criminal charges are up to local law enforcement agencies. Fines for refusing to wear a mask are typically $9,000, but other passengers with a pile-up of offenses face penalties in the tens of thousands of dollars. On August 19, the agency said it is seeking another $531,545 in civil penalties against the latest batch of 34 unruly passengers. FLORIDA NEWS Passenger taped to seat after allegedly groping, punching flight attendants AUG 06, 2021 AT 7:16 AM The same announcement listed details of some of the more dramatic incidents aboard commercial airliners this year. The alleged luggage-thrower who took an Orlando-bound JetBlue Airways flight from New York City on May 24 also refused to stay seated and lay on the floor in the aisle. He was placed in flexi-cuffs and the flight made an emergency landing in Richmond, Virginia, said the FAA, which seeks a $45,000 penalty against him. A $25,500 fine is sought against a passenger on a March 11 Frontier Airlines flight from Orlando to Providence, Rhode Island, after she was accused of repeatedly kicking the aircraft bulkhead, screaming obscenities at the passenger next to her, throwing corn nuts at passengers and shoving both her middle fingers in a flight attendant’s face, and other violations. In one incident in April, Allegiant Airlines crew members say, a passenger on a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Covington, Kentucky, wouldn’t wear a mask and urinated on the lavatory floor, which leaked into the galley area. Several other incidents on flights across the country involved passengers drinking alcohol they brought on board, vaping, damaging airline equipment, yelling obscenities at and/or assaulting crew members or fellow passengers, and threatening bodily harm. In February, one man yelled “imagine all of you in body bags” at a flight attendant as he was being yanked off an Orlando-to-Pittsburgh Allegiant Air flight for disruptive arguments with his wife and a fight attendant, the FAA said. FAA officials say alcohol is fueling some of the problems and wants airport concessionaires to stop selling liquor in to-go containers, the Los Angeles Times reported this month.
