Today we celebrate everyone’s favorite hero of Oceania, Moana. Moana is a sea-loving, strong willed girl who sets sail on an unimaginable adventure to save the people of Motonui. Though she has moments of self-doubt, she has great pride in who she is, and she doesn’t back away from new challenges. She approaches new experiences and tasks with the utmost seriousness and will stand her ground to fight for what she values, even when all seems lost.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/pT0QRUirs2AView the full article

Many things have been returning to Disneyland Resort lately! Disney California Adventure is ready for Halloween! Several restaurants are back open, we’ve seen the return of buffets, fireworks are back, and we’ll soon see the return of Oogie Boogie Bash! As things continue to open back up, we’ve also seen the return of entertainment, and we now have an update about the return of some iconic Main Street, U.S.A. performers at Disneyland Park! The Dapper Dans barbershop quartet are returning to Disneyland on September 3rd! Dapper Dans According to The Orange County Register, the group is currently in rehearsals preparing for their return after being gone from the park for 17 months due to the pandemic. Dapper Dans Performing Indoors in Disney World Disney Live Entertainment music producer John Glaudini said, “They sound great. They are masters of this music. It’s just wonderful to come back and hear that it is just as vibrant,” according to The Register. Dapper Dans The Dapper Dans will be back on Main Street, U.S.A. and join already returned entertainment like the Bootstrappers, Pearly Band, Five & Dime, and the Coke Corner piano player. The Disneyland Band returned in June! According to the Orange County Register, the Dapper Dans held their first rehearsal on Tuesday, August 24th, after being apart for more than a year. They are preparing songs, jokes, and dance numbers for the Halloween season in Disneyland! Cadaver Dans in Disney World Glaudini also said that they’re “working on one little extra thing…a little gift especially for the ones that know the band’s repertoire,” says The Register. The Dapper Dans will be singing with some distance between themselves and the audience as part of the COVID-19 precautions. Holiday Dapper Dans in Disney World You may remember seeing the last performance of the Disneyland Dapper Dans in March 2020 — 16 Dapper Dans came together and harmonized from their living rooms and at-home recording studios to make a video they shared on YouTube!

Gaten Matarazzo of “Stranger Things” fames recently visited Disney World, where he encountered (and imitated) Chewbacca. View the full article Gaten Matarazzo at Walt Disney World Gaten Matarazzo, the actor who flew to stardom as Dustin on the TV series “Stranger Things,” recently paid a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios where he encountered (and imitated) Chewbacca. Read more (David Roark / Courtesy photo) Gaten Matarazzo, the actor who flew to stardom as Dustin on the TV series “Stranger Things,” recently paid a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios where he encountered (and imitated) Chewbacca. A video posted on the official Disney Parks Blog shows Matarazzo with the Wookiee near the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction and then walking through the marketplace of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where he answered a several questions during the site’s “Walt Disney World Minute” feature What we learned: Chewbacca is “probably” Matarazzo’s favorite Star Wars character; he likes pretzels; he was eager to board the nearby Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride; and he touts a organization called CCD Smiles, which helps people with cleidocranial dysplasia, a skeletal disorder. (Matarazzo is co-founder of the group, and he has what he calls a “very mild case” of the condition.) Actor Gaten Matarazzo had fun showing off his Chewbacca impersonation when he encountered the Wookie at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (David Roark / Courtesy photo) What we learned later on the internet: Matarazzo turns 19 next month, and Netflix indicates that season four of “Stranger Things” will become available sometime in 2022. (Not that we’re pacing, but season three was released in July 2019.) His voice will be heard next year in the animated film “Hump,” which features a camel, a goat and a desert fox. To see the entire interview, go to disneyparksblog.com. Dewayne Bevil Orlando Sentinel

MuppetVision 3D opened at Disney-MGM Studios 30 years ago. The attraction debuted a year after Muppet mastermind Jim Henson died and three years before Walt Disney Co. acquired the majority of the Muppets film and TV library. View the full article

Did you know that Disney won’t own Mickey Mouse soon? Steamboat Willie ©Disney Yep, it’s true! The copyright to Mickey is set to expire in 2024. The situation is a bit…complicated — but as things stand, other people will be able to use the representation of Steamboat Mickey without copyright ramifications. Now, one brand is looking to profit off of the Mouse in advance. MSCHF is an art collective known for shocking products — like the new MSCHF x “Famous” Mouse Public Domain Mouse Collectible. This currently sold-out figurine is one of the first examples of a company taking advantage of the soon-to-be public domain status of Mickey Mouse. ©MSCHF Basically, MSCHF is selling tokens that can be redeemed in 2024 for an unofficial collectible of Disney’s Mickey Mouse. If they were to release such a collectible now, Disney would be able to take legal action but the original designs of Mickey Mouse (as seen in Steamboat Willie) will be public in a few years when their copyright expires. ©MSCHF This is not the first time that Mickey has been set to enter the public domain. In fact, Disney played a massive part in lobbying for the extension of copyright law to keep Mickey in their legal possession in the 1970s. However, this is unlikely to be possible again due to the spread of information on the internet; it’s a lot more difficult for lobbyists to go against these public domain protections. ©MSCHF Those who purchase the MSCHF tokens, priced at $100, will get their “Famous” Mouse figurine when the copyright on Mickey expires, even if that expiration is extended past 2024. ©MSCHF What the MSCHF project does NOT account for is the current trademark status of Mickey Mouse. Trademark rights do not expire like copyright, so it’s possible that Disney would attempt to take legal action on the grounds of trademark infringement, even after Mickey enters the public domain and legally belongs to everyone. ©MSCHF This is certainly an interesting development and one we’ll be keeping an eye on as we get closer to Mickey entering the public domain.

Calling all fellow cupcake lovers! Remember that Moana cupcake we told you about yesterday from Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Lobby at Polynesian Well…if you love Moana and cupcakes then you might be thrilled to know that there’s ANOTHER Moana cupcake also available at Disney’s Polynesian Resort right now, and this one is the official treat released in celebration of World Princess Week. We’ve been trying all kinds of new princess desserts (like the Belle cheesecake or apple pie Snow White cupcake) around the parks and resorts lately, so we just had to stop by the Poly to check this one out. For $5.99, you can voyage over to Capt. Cook’s or Kona Island to try the new Moana cupcake for a limited time! We’re back for more! This Moana cupcake is made of a vanilla cake with coconut mousse and is filled with vanilla buttercream. And it’s topped with white chocolate details. We found that most of the coconut flavor was on the green grassy side of the cupcake so that’s something to keep in mind when biting into this treat. This looks so cute! On top of the cupcake, little flakes of toasted coconut were sprinkled around, but we tasted a dominantly creamy vanilla flavor. Look at all the details! As you can imagine, this was a very sweet cupcake with a very vanilla-focused flavor. We welcomed the addition of the coconut mousse, especially since the rest of the cupcake was predominantly vanilla flavored. Chocolate lovers won’t find too much to really make their taste buds dance in this treat, other than the white chocolate toppings. So, if you’re looking for a lot of chocolate, this isn’t the treat for you. We’re giving you ALL the angles! We wish that there was a more exciting filling inside (rather than just more vanilla flavors). But, overall this is still a great option for fans of coconut, vanilla, and Instagram-worthy desserts! We can’t wait to dig in… As you can see, there was a good amount of vanilla buttercream inside, which went well with the coconut flavor. But again, we do wish there would have been a different filling to give this treat a more fun, unique flavor. We love a stuffed cupcake! If you want to grab this cupcake, be sure to do so while it’s still available. World Princess Week is set to last through August 29th. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more new treats all around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more reviews and Disney news! REVIEW: The Merida Cupcake Is BACK in Disney World!

We’re in the midst of a hot, humid summer in Walt Disney World, and that kind of weather calls for a cool, refreshing drink! Disney has been showing off several new treats and desserts this week for World Princess Week, but we must interrupt our scheduled princess content to bring you a new slushy! Flame Tree Barbecue While we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning, we noticed a new drink available at a popular quick-service dining location on Discovery Island. Let’s take a look! Give a warm and breezy welcome to the new Tropical Breeze Slushy from Flame Tree Barbecue! New slushy alert! The slushy is made up of layers of frozen mango and raspberry slushy and comes with a light-up glow cube. Based on the colors, we probably wouldn’t have predicted the mango flavor especially. Blue and green slushy And, to be entirely honest, we didn’t really taste the mango flavor here. Instead, we got more of a green apple/sour apple taste with a hint of raspberry. That green apple flavor was the strongest in our opinion. Also, fair warning, this drink will totally turn your tongue a blue/green color! Glow cube in action This drink was very sweet, so if you aren’t a fan of sugary, fruity drinks, you might want to pass on this one. The glow cube only increases this drink’s somewhat radioactive appearance — look at how that neon green color pops! One thing to note is that Disney’s photo for the Tropical Breeze (pictured on the Mobile Order page for Flame Tree Barbecue) shows the beverage layered with a more mango-colored slush instead of the green color we got. ©Disney We think that the mixture of the slushies potentially caused our drink to look a bit different. We would have liked to have seen the slushies a bit more evenly distributed. It looked like they were fairly evenly mixed from the top, but as we drank more we felt like there was more of the green slushy overall. Yum!! Still, if you’re in need of a hit of sugar and or you’re looking for a nice sized, fruity drink to sip on in Animal Kingdom, you can now grab the Tropical Breeze slushy for $8.49 at Flame Tree Barbecue. We’ll continue to be on the lookout for new drinks and treats around Walt Disney World, so stay tuned for more news and updates!

Disneyland beignets are among the most iconic snacks you can enjoy at the Happiest Place on Earth. While the beignets inside the park at the Mint Julep Bar come in a classic Mickey Mouse shape, you can also find traditional (and equally tasty) beignets at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen Express in Downtown Disney. Snickerdoodle Beignets Not only are the beignets at Jazz Kitchen Express yummy, but we’re continuously impressed by the unique flavors they release on a near-monthly basis. In the past we’ve sampled their Snickerdoodle flavor as well as their Almond-glazed variety for Mardi Gras. Today, we’re trying their new S’mores flavor! The new S’mores Glazed Beignets are Chocolate-glazed Beignets with a Honey Graham Cracker Crust and a Marshmallow Dipping Sauce. Sounds like fireside camping in the form of a beignet! New S’mores Glazed Beignets at Jazz Kitchen Express Once again, we were impressed by Jazz Kitchen Express — these were some tasty beignets! Our favorite part with these was the chocolate glaze that the beignets are dipped in. S’mores Glazed Beignets The graham cracker crumbs gave the beignets a nice crunch and a good balance of texture from the soft, pillowy dough. S’mores Glazed Beignets Personally, we could have done without the marshmallow dip — the beignets were delicious on their own! Fair warning, like the other beignets we’ve tried in the past, these are a little messy! Grab extra napkins for sure. S’mores Glazed Beignets You can grab a pack of four S’mores Glazed Beignets for $13.99. We’ll be on the lookout for more limited time treats around Downtown Disney and throughout the Disneyland Resort, so stay tuned for the latest coverage!

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT! EPCOT And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! Recently, we’ve gotten the chance to try some new snacks in the park, check out a NEW area for kiddos to play in, and more. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s check out what’s new at EPCOT! EPCOT Food Updates Sunshine Seasons It’s Disney Princess Week in Disney World, and as part of the celebration some new treats have arrived at the parks and hotels! Recently, we made our way over to Sunshine Seasons to try the NEW Sisters Cupcake, which is themed after the fan-favorite Frozen duo, Elsa and Anna! Sisters Cupcake Placard The strawberry cupcake is filled with strawberry filling and topped with strawberry buttercream in light blue and purple colors to represent both princesses. There are also snowflake sprinkles and a white chocolate crown. Sisters Cupcake The Sister Cupcake was SO light and fresh with a balance of sweetness and tartness that tied the treat together. Sisters Cupcake You can find the Sisters Cupcake at Sunshine Seasons for $5.99. Read our full review of the Frozen Sisters Cupcake here! Shimmering Sips We’ve been keeping a close eye on the POG juice situation in Disney World, as it has been unavailable at several spots where we once used to enjoy it. If you’re not familiar with it, POG Juice (or Jungle Juice as it is sometimes called) is made of a mix of Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava juices and it’s a big fan-favorite. As we were making our way around the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, a Cast Member let us know that the Shimmering Sips booth has plenty of POG juice, which is utilized in one of their mimosas. The Cast Member said that they expect to have it last for a while, since it is a fan-favorite. Shimmering Sips So, if you’re craving POG juice on a sunny Florida day, stop by Shimmering Sips if you’re in EPCOT to see if they’ve got some available in the form of their Tropical Mimosa. Click here to see more about what’s going on with POG Juice in Disney World. EPCOT Construction Updates Mexico Pavilion Previously, there were ropes that winded through the Coco area of the entrance to the Mexico Pavilion to help with crowds and traffic. Ropes Missing from Mexico Pavilion However, during a recent visit we noticed that they have been removed, so the area is more open for guests to walk through and look at the exhibit. Coco Area Of course, these things are subject to change so you’ll want to be on the lookout for what procedures are in place during your visit. EPCOT Entertainment Updates Turtle Talk with Crush Various forms of entertainment or live shows have started to return to Disney World. Recently, Turtle Talk with Crush reopened in EPCOT over in The Seas with Nemo and Friends! Turtle Talk with Crush When we went to the noon showing, it was a bit quiet with a smaller amount of kids sitting in the front of the room and chatting with their aquatic pals… Let’s Go to the Deep Blue Sea! …while more adults were seated on the benches (likely soaking in those beautiful moments in the air conditioning while also enjoying the show). Seating for the parents! During the show, characters like Dory, Marlin, and Destiny made appearances, along with Crush! Spots for the kiddos! If this show was a must-do for you and your little ones, you can now check it out once again during your next visit to the park. Take a peek inside the newly reopened Turtle Talk with Crush! Living with the Land As this week kicked off, one attraction was closed in EPCOT. Living with the Land remained quiet and closed on Monday, the 23rd. Pretty empty in here! Cast Members out front said that they weren’t sure when it would be operating again, but that it was closed due to mechanical issues for boat safety. Closed! We returned to the attraction a few days after its initial closure and confirmed with that Cast Members that it would remain closed for the 4th day in a row. Since we’ve checked, the ride is still listed as temporarily closed. We’ll keep you updated as to any news regarding this attraction. Here’s what you need to know about Living with the Land’s closure! Character Cavalcades EPCOT’s Princess Promenade have officially ended, folks. But, don’t worry — you can still see the princesses and some other characters around EPCOT! Distanced meet-and-greets have essentially replaced the Princess Promenade. You can make your way around the park to find characters like Jasmine… Jasmine …Belle… Belle …Mary Poppins… Mary Poppins …Alice in Wonderland… Alice …Snow White… Snow White …and more! You’ll be able to say “hello” and take some distanced selfies with these characters at various spots throughout the park, so be sure to keep your eyes open for them! Find out the details of the Princess Promenade ending here! Princess Tiana Playground In addition to the treats and new merchandise that got released around the parks for Princess Week, the Princess Tiana Playground also debuted in honor of the event. Let’s get Cookin! The area is themed after Tiana’s homestyle cooking with planters that are made from giant cooking pots… Welcome, Friends! …signs with the ingredients for Tiana’s famous gumbo going into the pot… So many fun details! …and games themed to various recipes and ingredients! Kids can plan tic-tac-toe… So cute! …a maze game, and more! ‘Princess and the Frog’ themed games! Plus, there’s a jungle gym in the Tiana Playground, so parents can play with their kiddos during their visit to EPCOT! Playground in EPCOT The next time you’re in EPCOT, you can go ahead and check out this special playground. See more details about the Tiana Playground here! EPCOT Merchandise Updates Norway Pavilion Over in the Norway Pavilion, we were able to meet the Norwegian fragrance designer Geir Ness at The Fjording this past week! Geir Ness Placard He told us about all some new items that will be coming to the Disney parks later this year… Hi, Geir!! …including perfumes, colognes, and even a dog shampoo! Geir Ness Products In terms of the dog shampoo, he mentioned how many dogs that come into dog shelters have sensitive skin and need a shampoo that is gentle, so they’ve been working on a dog shampoo for several years that is natural for the pups and is called Woof, Woof, Woof! Some items are set to be offered exclusively in Disney World first before they become available elsewhere. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more updates! Pin Trading Station While pins were previously out for limited time periods each day for trading, we noticed that the pins were out for a lot longer recently at the Pin Trading Station near the Pin Traders – Camera Center during our visit. Pin Trading Station The Cast Member who was there told us that pins will now be out for essentially the entire day for trading! Pin Trading Station Who else is getting their pin lanyards ready? Mouse Gear Now that Halloween is (essentially) in full swing in Disney World, spooky merchandise has taken over the parks! Over at Mouse Gear you can find all kinds of Halloween goodies. Halloween Merchandise During our recent trip, we spotted a number of Halloween-themed treats, apparel, and accessories. Halloween Merchandise We also spotted the Mickey Pumpkin Light Up Keychain for $14.99… Mickey Pumpkin Keychain …and a Mickey Pumpkin Light-Up Glow Lanyard for $17. Mickey Pumpkin Lanyard There’s quite a bit of Halloween merchandise to pick from in the parks, and more Halloween items are on the way.

It has been a HUGE week for Disney World news, with information on Disney Genie, restaurant reopenings, and things coming soon to the parks. The Disney parks have had a big week! But there have also been quite a few exciting things to notice in the parks themselves! Today we’re taking you along on a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new over there. Animal Kingdom Food Update Creature Comforts At Animal Kingdom’s Starbucks location, there’s a new limited-time treat for World Princess Week. Say hello to the Pocahontas Mousse! It sure is cute! You can pick it up for $5.99 and it’s made with pineapple-banana cake topped with cream cheese-coconut mousse. We’ll warn you — only try this one if you’re a big fan of coconut. (But if that’s your favorite flavor, then this was MADE for you!) Click Here to See Our Review of the Mousse! Animal Kingdom Construction Update Front Entrance Starting things out at the front gate, the biometric finger scan is back! Since spotting it at Animal Kingdom, we’ve seen this feature return to other parks as well. The finger scan is back! For those who aren’t familiar, prior to the closure, guests were required to scan a finger after scanning their park ticket for security reasons. The procedure was stopped when the parks reopened and Disney tried testing out other options (like facial recognition), but it looks like we’re going back to the classic! Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail In Africa, we noticed that the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail has a new sponsor! The entrance to the attraction had a sign noting that some features are available thanks to the company famous for its bug spray, OFF. There’s a new sign for the new sponsor! This sponsorship didn’t really affect the flow of the trail or any of the offerings that we noticed, but we’ll keep you updated if anything changes. Click Here to Check Out Construction Updates In Other Spots Around Disney World! Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update Discovery Trading Co. In one of the main gift shops, Discovery Trading Company, we spotted the new Stitch Crashes Disney Sleeping Beauty collection. These items had appeared in other parks as well, but here there were plenty of plushes and other souvenirs still in stock! The items were thoroughly stocked. This collection has been particularly popular this year, with items flying off the shelves, so it’s no guarantee that these things will still be in stock on your next visit. Windtraders Shop In the gift shop in Pandora, we noticed something particularly unusual. The popular banshee toys that sit on guests’ shoulders and can be controlled with the wired remote were no longer available for purchase. The other banshees were missing! Instead, the wall that usually housed the electronic banshees was home to several plush versions. Disney hasn’t shared if this is a temporary shortage or if they will return in the future, but we’ll keep a lookout. Click Here to Check Out New Halloween Merchandise!

It IS Home! We’ve come across some unique Disney-inspired houses in the past, from the ultimate fan house located down the road from Disneyland to a home inspired by Matterhorn! There’s even a castle located right next door to Disney World! We must say, however, that this new “listing” on Zillow may be the most stunning house on the “market” we’ve seen in quite some time! As we celebrate World Princess Week, we may or may not be considering putting in an offer on the Ultimate Celebration Castle. Ultimate Celebration Castle © Disney Yes, we’re serious…this is an actual listing on Zillow that you can look at right now. Here’s a look at what’s inside! © Disney Coming in at a cozy 4.2 square feet, this property is situated in a highly sought-after neighborhood, located at 12 Imagine Way, Dream City, USA. © Zillow Before we even “step” inside, this castle has lovely curb appeal, making it a standout home on any street! © Zillow We LOVE how the various rooms in this play castle were photographed to look like any other house would on Zillow! We start off with the gorgeous entryway. As you pass through the ornate gold doorway, you’re greeted with the kitchen as well as the main dining area.

It looks so inviting! © Zillow The main floor has a bit of an “open-concept” feel, and the dining area leads right to the grand stairway that brings you up to the master suite! © Zillow The bedroom itself may be on the smaller side, as the previous owners managed to squeeze in what appears to be a twin-sized bed. But the en suite bathroom features a stunning golden bathtub. We could totally see ourselves getting ready here in the morning. © Zillow And of course, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom home features fireworks views!

The new Star Wars Mickey Ears are a little bit subtle, but true Star Wars fans will recognize the symbols on them immediately. Star Wars Mickey Ears One ear has the Galactic Republic symbol… Galactic Republic Symbol …while the other is made up of the symbol for the Rebellion. Star Wars Rebellion Symbol On the headband, one of the most iconic lines from the Star Wars movies is embroidered in blue lettering.

Have you ever blindly booked a reservation for a hotel, sight unseen? It seems like our old pal Goofy did just that. This hotel could use a little upkeep! While we were over by The Tower of Terror in Dinsey’s Hollywood Studios, we happened to catch Tourist Goofy getting ready to check-in! We hope he knows just what kind of vacancy he’s filling… . Goofy came to the hotel dressed in his finest Hawaiian shirt with his trusty suitcase, and stopped to greet some fellow hotel guests waiting in line! Goofy made sure to wave to guests in line and waiting by the exit of the attraction. He even showed off everything he packed in his suitcase! Goofy being goofy It looks like Goofy is planning to hit the pool while he’s there — someone should probably tell him the pool was drained a looong time ago… . He brought a floatie for the pool! It was so fun to see Goofy over at such an unexpected location; we felt like we were in the Twilight Zone! Hello, Goofy!
