There have been a lot of new updates from Disney World recently, from princess-themed treats to celebrate World Princess Week to the introduction of the Disney Genie, which replaced the old FastPass system in the parks. Tree of Life We’re doing our best to keep you updated with all the news! Today, we’re walking through Disney’s Animal Kingdom to take a look at what’s new and changing in the park. We’ll start with the most important update: Food! Then we’ll take a look at construction around the park and any new merchandise we spotted. Animal Kingdom Food Update We spotted a new slushy at Flame Tree Barbecue this week, the Tropical Breeze Slushy made with mango and raspberry flavors. It’s a little deceptive, though, since it’s bright green and blue — we weren’t expecting that for a mango slushy! Tropical Breeze Slushy You can try this super sweet drink for $8.49 from Flame Tree Barbecue. Check Out Our Full Review of the Tropical Breeze Slushy Here Animal Kingdom Construction Update We saw a few updates with construction around Animal Kingdom! First, on our way in we noticed parking trams in the parking lot. Although they still weren’t driving guests up to the entrance, their appearance in the lot could mean they’ll be returning for service soon. We can hope! Parking Trams at Animal Kingdom While we were walking through the gorgeous Pandora section of Animal Kingdom, we noticed some construction walls going up. We’re not sure what’s going on behind these, but we’ll let you know if we learn anything about it. Construction walls in Pandora Finally, we spotted some people working on the raft on the Discovery River Lagoon. Construction on the raft This raft will be used for the new daytime show coming to Animal Kingdom for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations! Learn More About the New Show Coming to Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update We didn’t find any new merchandise this time, but we did see a really cool MagicBand get restocked in the Discovery Trading Company gift shop. Sidekicks MagicBand It’s Dooney and Bourke’s Sidekicks MagicBand, and it’s covered in lots of beloved sidekicks from Disney movies. More Disney Sidekicks You can get this band for $48 at Discovery Trading Company. It might be a little out of the budget for a MagicBand, but that doesn’t stop us from admiring the band when we see it in the parks! Click Here to See More of the Dooney and Bourke’s Sidekick Collection Ride Wait Times and Atmosphere Photos We also checked out some ride wait times around Animal Kingdom as we searched for news. First, we stopped by It’s Tough to Be a Bug, which only had a 10-minute wait. It’s Tough to Be a Bug We were even more surprised to see the short wait times at Kilimanjaro Safaris and Expedition Everest. Kilimanjaro Safaris had a 15-minute wait… Kilimanjaro Safaris …and Everest was only 10! Expedition Everest The parks felt super empty the last few days, most likely because schools started again, so fewer guests are on vacation right now. Low Crowds We’ll end our update with some gorgeous photos of waterfalls around Pandora, for your enjoyment. Pandora Waterfalls We can practically hear the banshees screaming in the distance…so peaceful. More waterfalls Keep following DFB for more updates on what’s new in the Disney parks!

We’re well into the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, and we’ve tried a LOT of sweet and savory treats in EPCOT. But, what if you’re hoping to take some of the delicious fun home and make your very own World Showcase snacks?! It’s a good day to be in the American Adventure Pavilion While we were in the American Adventure Pavilion over in the middle of the World Showcase, we noticed an interesting new menu item that we’d have to work for in order to eat! For $21, you can own a Funnel Cake Gift Kit straight from the Funnel Cakes kiosk in EPCOT’s American Adventure pavilion. That’s right. It’s not an actual funnel cake (that you can eat right then and there), it’s a funnel cake KIT that’ll help you make funnel cakes at home! New menu item! Of course, we had to buy it and see for ourselves what was included with this new item. The kit comes with a bag of funnel cake mix, a funnel cake pourer, and instructions on how to make your own funnel cake. According to a friendly Cast Member, the kit will come in a more official-looking gift bag, but they weren’t yet available when we came around. Still, they let us purchase the set (at a bit of discount, since the gift bag was missing). This is…different! Like we said, this will all come packaged in a bag later, but this is what everything looked like when we got it. Don’t mind us, casually carrying around a 5 POUND bag of funnel cake mix around EPCOT!! Don’t forget the funnel cake mix! The pitcher is pretty big, as you can see, and has a handy spout to make that perfect, tangly funnel cake shape. Behold… the funnel cake pitcher! If someone you love isn’t around to get some freshly made funnel cakes with you in EPCOT, at least they can have this DIY version. It’s certainly a unique souvenir, that’s for sure! To: the DFB team, From: the DFB team The little booklet the set comes with includes a list of ingredients contained in the mix as well as instructions as to how you’ll make those tasty funnel cakes at home. What You’ll Need to Make the Funnel Cakes There’s also a list of suggested toppings! Another Look Inside the Booklet If you want to grab one of these sets for yourself, be sure to stop by the Funnel Cakes kiosk in EPCOT’s American Adventure Pavilion to see if they’re available. Just keep in mind that the mixture is pretty heavy so you might want to wait until closer to the end of your day in EPCOT to pick this one up. Just be sure to check the hours for the Funnel Cakes kiosk on the day of your visit. We’re on the lookout for new Disney merchandise and new menu items, so stay tuned for more!

It’s been 12 years since the release of Up, but the film is still a popular one with Disney fans. Maybe it’s because of the beautifully sad story of Carl and Ellie, or maybe it’s because of Russell, who drags Carl on the adventure of a lifetime in the movie. Dug Days ©Disney One of our favorite characters is Dug, who, thanks to a very special collar, gets his thoughts translated into English. He made us laugh once and he’s getting ready to do it again, thanks to a brand new series coming soon to Disney+! And we now have a trailer for that show! And it looks like Dug, Carl, and Russell, are still together! AWWWW! And yes, in case you were wondering, there is a SQUIRREL! Disney+ also dropped a poster for Dug Days, which features Dug, of course, being, well, Dug. ©Disney We can’t wait to be reunited with these characters — All episodes of Dug Days will be available on Disney+ on September 1st.

We’re at Disneyland today for a returning royal breakfast experience! Napa Rose A lot is changing at Disneyland Resort, with the new Magic Key passes for sale, restaurants reopening, and new shops coming to Downtown Disney. Now the Princess Breakfast Adventures has reopened in Napa Rose, and it’s a bit different from the past, so we’re giving you a first look into our experience today. Napa Rose is located inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, which is accessible from Downtown Disney as well as Disney’s California Adventure. The Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures is a three-course breakfast that takes place from Thursdays through Mondays from 8AM to 11AM for the price of $125 for adults and children. Guests receive five hours of valet parking included with validation at the Grand Californian, and they will be charged after five hours. The entire experience is expected to take around two hours, so let’s get into our first look! Atmosphere We arrived in the Grand Californian Hotel lobby, which is designed to honor the 20th century Arts and Crafts architectural style of California.

Princess Adventure Breakfast We saw two princesses at our visit — Aurora and Jasmine! The princesses may vary depending on your visit. It looked they were letting like two parties greet princesses at a time. Princess Aurora! We greeted the princesses from a distance outside, then returned to the lounge area where we waited until our table was ready in the dining room. The inside of Napa Rose has windows and bright lighting. Napa Rose Our table had some sunshine streaming in from the large windows. Our Table We received a button celebrating World Princess Week.

Disney World will now allow guests with moderate to severe autism to book return times for attractions without standing in line, a change from recent policy, but a guest columnist wonders why this wasn't policy before two lawsuits were filed against the company. View the full article In this April 2019 photo, Magic Kingdom guests use motorized scooters to navigate the park in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Scooters are as visible at Disney parks as Mickey Mouse ears and turkey legs, and they provide a lifeline for people, some with hidden disabilities, who can’t walk the massive grounds. (Charles King/AP) Disney’s recently announced alterations to its advanced reservation systems hurt the company’s defense in ongoing disability lawsuits. On Thursday, Disney Parks & Resorts announced that the free Fastpass service is being replaced by Disney Genie+. Disney Genie+, a paid service, will allow guests to enter a shorter line for an attraction at a specified time. Certain high-demand attractions will not be eligible for Disney Genie+, but guests will be able to purchase a return time for two of these attractions for an additional fee. These new services create a two-tiered Fastpass service, accessible only to those who can afford the privilege of shorter lines. Kevin T. Mintz is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Genetics and Genomics at Stanford University’s Center for Biomedical Ethics. He was born with cerebral palsy and specializes in disability bioethics. (Courtesy photo) Changes are also coming to Disney’s Disability Access Service. The service provides people with disabilities who have difficulty physically waiting in line with a return time comparable to an attraction’s published standard wait time. At the specified return time, a guest and their party can enter the attraction through an alternate entrance. Being a wheelchair user does not automatically qualify someone for the service; a guest must demonstrate that they have difficulty waiting in a standard queue. Disney’s revisions will enable guests to register for the service in advance of their visit, and allow them to book two return times during registration. These changes give guests who use the service greater flexibility in planning their day and effectively provide two Fastpasses in advance, free of charge. Guests with moderate to severe autism, a group of whom are currently suing Disney, stand to benefit from the modified disability program. The plaintiffs allege that the current Disability Access Service fails to accommodate their need for shortened wait times. The first of these cases went to trial in February 2020 and is currently on appeal. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments on Sept. 22. Before the trial, I wrote a guest commentary recommending that Disney allow these individuals to book reservation times in advance of their visit. You might think that I am about to praise Disney for making steps in the right direction. There may indeed be cause for cautious optimism. Alas, these changes reinforce how deeply flawed Disney’s defense was. Disney made two arguments at trial that are now dubious. First, the company’s industrial engineers testified that if users of the disability service were given additional Fastpasses as a modification, wait times for nondisabled guests would increase, causing Disney to lose customers. Second, Alison Armor, now Vice President of Resort Operations, testified that the main reason Disney instituted the Disability Access Service was to discourage nondisabled guests from abusing the priority access to attractions that Disney formerly provided to guests with disabilities. With Disney’s announcement, I question why the company claimed that it couldn’t provide additional Fastpasses for all disabled guests. Apparently, Disney has now decided that it is possible to provide additional reservation times as a blanket modification. The company can clearly institute whatever disability policy it wants. This spurious argument was a way for Disney to discourage people with moderate or severe autism from visiting the parks. By making advance ride reservations a paid service for nondisabled guests, Disney has also made the current disability policy just as susceptible to abuse as its predecessor. Instead of paying for Disney Genie+ and priority access to “E Ticket” attractions, a nondisabled guest could bring someone with a disability with them to get free reservation times. I do not say this to discourage Disney from making the announced changes. My point is that any disability modification is susceptible to abuse. Efforts to prevent abuse of disability policies should not come at the expense of denying support to those who really need it. That is exactly what happened when Disney first introduced its current disability program in 2013. Moving forward, Disney should work with the plaintiffs to grant additional advance reservation times on top of the two now being given to all users of the disability program. In order to prevent abuse, they should enhance their screening procedures to ensure that guests requesting more advance reservations are those who actually need them. I am disappointed that now, more than ever, Disney will become a playground for the rich. But if the company works with the plaintiffs to resolve their concerns, Disney’s disability service can become a system that works for all customers with disabilities. Kevin T.
