Toledo at the Gran Destino Tower in Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is a luxurious rooftop restaurant that serves up delicious Spanish-inspired fine dining. Toledo at Disney’s Gran Destino Tower at the Coronado Resort Recently, Toledo reopened and we stopped by to check it out. We’ve had a pretty good meal here before so we headed back to Toledo for another dinner full of steak, steak, and…oh yeah…STEAK! Let’s see if all our carnivorous dreams came true. Atmosphere Toledo is a rooftop restaurant in the newer Gran Destino Tower of Coronado Springs. This spot is posh and quite fancy looking with a gorgeous pink and orange ceiling that changes color throughout the night and plenty of olive trees (spoiler alert: the trees are fake!). Inside Toledo’s main dining room Along with a large main dining room, there are also private dining rooms. Since Coronado is a popular resort for conferences, these dining rooms can be great for business parties (or for enjoying a nice special dinner with your extended family!). One of Toledo’s private dining areas Oh…and did we mention the view? You can see sooooo much from here! You can easily spot Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and Blizzard Beach from the top of Gran Destino Tower. What a view! If heights aren’t your thing, there’s a whole ‘nother view to enjoy: a look into the kitchen! This isn’t the full kitchen, but it’s nice to see a little bit of the culinary action on display. You can see the action! There’s plenty of seating here, with lots of chairs and booths to go around. The big cozy half-circle booths look extra inviting! Inside Toledo Finally, we took a seat and glanced at the new menu! Eats Taking a look at the menu, it’s easy to spot that this location has lots of Tapas on the menu! With options like Pan con Tomate and Charred Octopus, you can’t go wrong with these Spanish-inspired offerings. Tapas Toledo also offers a wide range of entreés including Grouper for $34, Marinated Hanger Steak for $32, and Brick Over Cauliflower for $34 alongside an array of side dishes! Menu There are plenty of unique sides and desserts to choose from as well. Sides and Desserts Kids have plenty to choose from as well. Kids’ Menu The drink menu here is extensive. There’s a range of hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks. No Booze Drinks Most of the hot drinks without alcohol are coffee-based drinks. Hot non-alcoholic drinks You can get some of them with alcohol as well, if you’re looking for a nice after-dinner drink or it’s a chilly day (those do happen occasionally!). Being a Spanish restaurant, sweet wines are plentiful here as well. Hot drinks with booze and Sweet Wines A number of Spanish after-dinner spirits are available too. Spirits Then, of course, we have a selection of specialty cocktails. Cocktails The restaurant also offers a prix fixe option called the Chef’s Signature Meal for Two for $129, which we’ll be trying out today. What we’re ordering today! To start off our meal, we got the Gran Gin and Tonic with Tanqueray Gin, House-made Saffron-Orange Tonic, and Soda Water for $15. This drink was fabulous and we wouldn’t expect less from the signature drink of Gran Destino Tower. We’ve had this drink before at Barcelona Lounge and really enjoyed it then too, though it was more orange than yellow then! This drink isn’t overly sweet and the quality of the gin really comes through. We thought the rosemary sprig was a nice little touch. Overall, this was a wonderful, refreshing drink. The Gran Gin and Tonic! Next, we grabbed the Tequila Daisy with Don Julio Blanco Tequila, Torres Magdala Naranjas del Mediterráneo, Grapefruit, Lime, Hibiscus, and Soda Water for $14! This one was SUPER good and very light and refreshing. The tequila was front and center, but the citrus and the floral notes are clearly there too. The flavors weren’t in-your-face, they were a bit more on the subtle side. We really enjoyed this one, especially paired with the appetizers we’ll show you in a sec! The Tequila Daisy Now, it’s time to get into the Chef’s Signature Meal for Two, a prix fixe offering that costs $129! To start off our prix fixe meal, we were served the Flight of Four Pinxtos with Chilled Mussels ‘Escabèche’, Olive Oil-poached Tuna with Lemon, ‘Tortilla Española’ Spanish Potato Omelet, Valdeón Blue Cheese with Fig and Honey. The Pinxtos! The ‘Tortilla Española’ Spanish Potato Omelet, despite being made from potatoes and prosciutto, reminded us of a quiche. The flavor on this one was more on the mild side but we really enjoyed it! The prosciutto was delicious. The ‘Tortilla Española’ Spanish Potato Omelet The Olive Oil-poached Tuna with Lemon was heartier than we expected! We’re not always the biggest fans of tuna, but this one won us over! The bread had a nice crunch and we loved all the different flavors coming from the microgreens, the green onion sauce, and the lemon-poached tuna. It was a complex and fun bite! Olive Oil-poached Tuna with Lemon The Chilled Mussels ‘Escabèche’was our favorite Pinxto of the night! It was surprisingly spicy, but none of the other flavors overpowered the briny, oceany flavor of the mussels. A really well done, balanced bite! Chilled Mussels ‘Escabèche’ The Valdeón Blue Cheese with Fig and Honey was an absolute delight! Fair warning: this one is LOADED with blue cheese, so steer clear if you’re not a fan. However, if you like blue cheese, you’re in luck! The pairing of fig and cheese is a classic for a reason, this was delicious! Mmmm… blue cheese and figs! Next course was The Spaniard, a charcuterie board with 6-Month Manchego, Valdeon Bleu Cheese, Naked Goat Cheese, Lomo Iberico, Jamon Serrano, Chorizo, Jamon Iberico, Green Olives, Picholine Olives, Kalamata Olives, Castelvetrano Olives, House pickles, Sourdough bread, Marcona Almonds from Spanish, Dried apricots, and Spanish Torta! There’s a lot on this one plate and we’re VERY happy about it! Wow! There was a plentiful supply of meat and cheese on this board with a ton of variety. We really enjoyed the blue and manchego cheeses, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on this board. Cheeeeese!!!! One of the major highlights here was the meat! The Jamon Iberico was especially delicious, it was so creamy and melt-in-your-mouth; it tasted phenomenal! The olives, apricots, and other accompaniments kept us interested. This was a GREAT charcuterie board (and if you know us, you know we love a good charcuterie!). Lots of great meat! It’s entreé time! We were served the Chuletón Bone-In Rib-Eye with Tomato, Onions, and choice of two House Sides! There is a LOT of meat on this plate and we’re not mad about it at all! The steak was melt in your mouth and perfect at medium-rare (which is the temp recommended by the chef!). The seasoning was on point. Even the fat on this steak was delicious (no judgment, right?)! The Ribeye! This steak was SUPER juicy and we loved every bite! Even the grilled veggies were killer. Otherwise boring grilled tomato and onion tasted so bright and fresh contrasted with the char from the grill. There was plenty for two to share here. We highly recommend ordering this entree if you like steak at all — it was amazing! So juicy! Now, about those two sides… first we got the Brussels Sprouts and we’re not kidding when we say these were some of the best brussels sprouts we’ve ever had! They were nice and crispy and weren’t too oily or overcooked. Seriously, these blew our minds. Delicious Brussels Sprouts! For our second side, we got Olive Oil-Potato Purée! We thought that the Brussels Sprouts couldn’t be topped, but this potato purée gives it a serious run for its money. The potatoes are hand-whipped with manchego cheese and olive oil and they are soooooo creamy! This is the perfect side, we’ll take this over boring ol’ mashed potatoes any day! These were so yummy! Last (but certainly not least) we were served The Toledo Tapas Bar for dessert with Spanish Coffee, crunchy Chocolate, Raspberry Mousse, and Lemon Curd for dessert! We’ve had this before and loved it. It’s such a fun concept — it’s a progressive bar that changes flavor as you go along! This bar is super rich and chocolatey, so make sure to share this one (the prix fixe IS for two, after all!). Each bite is a different flavor meant to be enjoyed one after the other. Cool, huh? This dessert is truly delicious and a fun way to end the meal! The delicious bar! All the toppings were amazing on this one, but the lemon curd topping really stood out. The tart lemon with the rich dark chocolate made this treat extra delicious! Yum! Holy smokes, overall, we were floored by this prix fixe meal, we loved every bite! Nosh or Not Stop by Toledo if… You’re looking for a great date night! With a great meal for two, a romantic rooftop atmosphere, this is the perfect way to have a Disney date night. You love great charcuterie! That charcuterie board was seriously amazing! If you appreciate a great board of meat and cheese, you’ll love Toledo. Grab a few drinks and enjoy a long night over this board. You’re looking for a signature meal without the signature price. This is a definite “bang for your buck” Disney restaurant. Sure some stuff like that steak are on the pricier end, but most tapas is 10-12 dollars and entrees are reasonable in the 20-30 range. Steer Clear of Toledo if… You don’t like “fancy” food or Spanish cuisine. This place serves signature fine dining centered around Spanish cuisine. You’re scared of heights! Although might not be a huge problem, you might want to at least request a seat away from the windows if you’re afraid of heights. You’re far away from Coronado! It can be a bit of a trek to get here, but it all depends on if it’s worth it to you! Overall You know how you don’t go to a place often and forget just how good it is? That’s Toledo. Its downfall is that it’s in a hotel most guests, if not already staying there, would think to go experience. But every component of this meal was downright outstanding. The service was super helpful and attentive, and we were given tons of great suggestions by our waiter. This place sits pretty close to the top of the list for us in terms of resort restaurants. The food is definitely Spanish but not so much so that guests would be turned off by the cuisine if they prefer a more simple menu. We loved the heavy use of olive oils, cured meats, cheeses, olives, and other flavors synonymous with Spain. Just thinking about that makes us want to be sipping a glass of Port over that charcuterie board again! The prices aren’t terrible either. The prix fixe was $130 before tax for a 4-course meal for 2 (and most of that was that 90 dollar steak!). The food here is carefully and thoughtfully prepared but isn’t so expensive you’re breaking the bank. If you find yourself at Coronado Springs Gran Destino Tower or are just looking for a special date night while at Disney World, don’t sleep on this one.

It’s hurricane season in Florida, and we’ve already seen 5 major storms come and go this year. Rainy day at Disney As many people can agree, “a rainy day in Disney is better than a rainy day at home,” but that doesn’t mean you should travel all the way to Disney World without a little preparation. We have an update for you on the latest tropical storm, currently in the Dominican Republic area. According to meteorologists, Tropical Storm Fred will move up towards Florida on Thursday, and experts don’t predict that Fred will upgrade to anything beyond a tropical storm in that time. Either way, all signs point to a strong possibility of heavy rain arriving in the Orlando area in the coming days. As you can see in this map, courtesy of the National Hurricane Center, the 5-day forecast for Tropical Storm Fred shows the storm moving up through South Florida and into the Central Florida area between Sunday and Monday. ©The National Hurricane Center While it may be too early to fully map out the outcome of Tropical Storm Fred, it’s best to prepare for lots of rain and moisture this weekend if you’re headed to Central Florida. Downpour in Disney’s Animal Kingdom We’ll continue to keep you updated as Tropical Storm Fred moves up the Gulf of Mexico and closer to Orlando, so stay tuned to DFB for more news and information.

Planning to visit Disney World soon? Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary! One of the most important things you’ll want to start thinking about are those advanced dining reservations. To make your reservations or even just to check out a list of the restaurants in Disney World, you may visit the Disney World website. But, if you visit the website right now you might encounter an interesting issue. This evening we went to the Disney World website and tried to search for available dining reservations. But, when we did, we were sent to a page that looked strangely familiar. Oh my…it’s the Disneyland waiting room page we’ve seen one too many times over the past year! ©Disney But wait, weren’t we trying to make reservations for Disney World’s restaurants?! What is Disneyland doing over here trying to crash the party?! It feels a bit like how we received a Disneyland popcorn box in Disney World during the After Hours Boo Bash event. Well…That’s Interesting It seems the Disney World website is experiencing technical issues at the moment, particularly when it comes to the dining side. We were met with this Disneyland waiting page when we searched for reservations, tried to look at the Disney World restaurants, and tried to do other things related to dining. So, if you’re trying to make dining reservations for Disney World right now, that’s something to be aware of. We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney news and information and we’ll share all of those details with you! Have you been to these underrated Disney World restaurants? Click here to find out!

Today’s the big day: it’s time for Disney’s After Hours BOO BASH! Disney After Hours BOO Bash ©Disney This special ticketed After Hours Halloween event is replacing Mickey’s Not-So-Scary-Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom this year, and tonight is the first night of the celebration! Now…it’s time for the burning question that’s been on all of our minds: what do the wait times look like at BOO Bash? Well, let’s take a look! Here are all of the attractions available to ride during BOO Bash: Adventureland Swiss Family Treehouse The Magic Carpets of Aladdin Jungle Cruise Pirates of the Caribbean Frontierland Country Bear Jamboree Splash Mountain Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Liberty Square Haunted Mansion Fantasyland Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Peter Pan’s Flight “it’s a small world” Under the Sea — Journey of The Little Mermaid The Barnstormer Dumbo the Flying Elephant Mad Tea Party The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Tomorrowland Tomorrowland Speedway Space Mountain Astro Orbiter Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin BOO Bash officially started at 9:30PM and runs until 12:30AM. Wait Times at 9:30PM We checked the wait times right at 9:30PM and pretty much everything had a low (or lower than average) line! ©Disney Wait times at 9:30PM These attractions in Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, and Adventureland seem to have very short lines! The wait times range between 5 minutes and 15 minutes! ©Disney Wait times at 9:30PM Even some of the more popular attractions were showing low wait times! Splash Mountain was sitting at around 15 minutes! ©Disney Wait times at 9:30PM These last two attractions had the highest wait times thus far, but were still much lower than normal! ©Disney Wait times at 9:30PM It’s a rare sight to see the queue for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train this empty! Seven Dwarves Mine Train: 45 minutes at 9:30PM Wait Times at 10PM By 10PM, some of the wait times were even lower! ©Disney Wait times at 10PM Some attractions, like Haunted Mansion, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and Space Mountain were showing pretty consistent wait times. They were all still hovering around 15-20 minutes. It looks like the line for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was getting shorter, though, with a 30 minute posted wait time. ©Disney Wait times at 10PM Several attractions had a 5 minute standby wait time! Guests could walk right onto these attractions. ©Disney Wait times at 10PM Interestingly, Astro Orbiter was still listed at 60 minutes! ©Disney Wait times at 10PM Wait Times at 10:30PM We checked back in at 10:30PM, and the wait times were still reflecting very low crowds! Astro Orbiter was down to only 5 minutes! ©Disney Wait times at 10:30PM The Haunted Mansion wait time increased by 10 minutes, showing a 25-minute standby line. Meanwhile, Splash Mountain went from 15 minutes at 9:30 to 10 minutes an hour later! ©Disney Wait times at 10:30PM These attractions didn’t show much movement in terms of higher or lower wait times — pretty much all of these were walk-ons! ©Disney Wait times at 10:30PM By 10:30PM, Peter Pan’s Flight was posted at a 25-minute wait, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was also at 25 minutes. ©Disney Wait times at 10:30PM Wait Times at 11PM As 11PM rolled around, we checked back in on the wait times! Look at those low wait times! As you can see, the lines were still significantly shorter than normal! 5-10 minute waits! Over on the My Disney Experience app, we checked back in with Fantasyland’s attractions, and saw more low waits! ©Disney Wait times at 11PM The wait times for most of the Tomorrowland attractions ranged between 10-20 minutes at 11PM. ©Disney Wait times at 11PM These attractions all had a 5-minute wait at 11PM. ©Disney Wait times at 11PM Peter Pan’s Flight and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train rounded out our 11PM check-in with 25-minute standby wait times for each. ©Disney Wait times at 11PM Wait Times at 11:30PM 2 hours into BOO Bash, we took another look at the lines! Here’s what we saw at 11:30PM. ©Disney Wait times at 11:30PM The times didn’t change much at all! ©Disney Wait times at 11:30PM As you can see, the 11:30PM check-in (unsurprisingly) showed more low waits. ©Disney Wait times at 11:30PM Peter Pan’s Flight and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train were still both showing the highest lines of the night. They each still had 25-minute standby waits. ©Disney Wait times at 11:30PM At this point, you can probably predict what most of the wait times looked like as we hit midnight. ©Disney Wait times at 12AM Wait Times at 12AM Here’s the 12AM check-in for some classic Magic Kingdom attractions. As you can see, Peter Pan’s Flight (finally) went down to 20 minutes! ©Disney Wait times at 12AM Crowds were low during the event, which is reflected in the wait times. ©Disney Wait times at 12AM Interestingly, at 12AM, Space Mountain was back up to a 30-minute wait! It seems like people wanted to hop on Space Mountain one more time before they left! ©Disney Wait times at 12AM That’s all the wait time updates we’ve got for you tonight!

Hello, DFB Friends, from the first-ever Disney After Hours Boo Bash! Spooooooky castle! We’re out here celebrating spooky season at Disney World with fun entertainment offerings, character cavalcades, and more at Boo Bash. And, of course, we can’t leave out one very important thing — THE FOOD. Tonight we got to try a Boo Bash exclusive frozen drink! Should you get this drink if you attend the After Hours event? We’re sharing all our thoughts with you here! Introducing the Apple Ginger Dale Frozen Drink! Seriously, don’t apple drinks just make you dream of fall? Even when it’s hot and humid out? This beverage is made with Frozen Apple Cider mixed with Ginger Ale, topped with Whipped Cream and chopped TWIX Cookie Bars. It is a Boo Bash exclusive, so you’ll have to make your way to the After Hours event to try it! Apple Ginger Dale The drink certainly looks like fall. But, how does it taste? Well, during the hot, humid, muggy Florida night we experienced at Boo Bash, this drink totally hit the spot! Apple Ginger Dale It was wonderfully cold and refreshing, and not too sweet, which was nice. Apple Ginger Dale We didn’t feel like the Twix really fit with the other flavors of the drink, but if you are a big fan of Twix, we have a feeling you won’t really have a serious issue with it. If you attend Boo Bash, you can grab this drink at Golden Oak Outpost in Frontierland for $5.99. Time for a Nice, Cool Drink! Looking for more reviews of the snacks you’ll find at Boo Bash? Check out our reviews of the Maleficent churros, Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake, and the Egg Slushy.

Tonight is the first night of Disney World’s After Hours BOO Bash and we are here to tell you every last detail! Oogie Boogie One of the best parts of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, prior to the pandemic, was the BOO to You Parade. The feeling of sheer terror when the Headless Horseman would trot through the crowds really set the bar for what is one of the most anticipated parades at Disney World. While we absolutely LOVED that parade, we could not WAIT to see what BOO Bash had in store for us. Last year’s Halloween Cavalcades gave us a sneak peek of what to expect, but we knew Disney would have something new up their sleeves, and boy, were we right. The lights even seemed to change based on the different cavalcades! Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade will take place each night of BOO Bash at 9:55PM and 11:25PM. The first cavalcade will start and end in Frontierland, while the second will start in Frontierland and end on Main Street, U.S.A.! Mickey’s Cavalcade began with dancers and Donald and Daisy Duck dressed in their Halloween costumes. Mickey’s Cavalcade We also got to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their spooky costumes waving and dancing from a gazebo, followed by Pluto in his best Halloween look! Hi Mickey! Disney Villain Halloween Cavalcade The Disney Villain Halloween Cavalcade brought us the Bowler Hat Guy’s dancing skills. We saw some of Maleficent’s henchmen, who looked especially creepy. Creepy! And of course Maleficent herself in dragon form! Note that despite the official name of her cavalcade, Maleficent did NOT actually breathe any fire tonight. Watch out, she breathes fire! We didn’t even realize how bad we needed this spooky celebration and enjoyed EVERY second! Stay tuned to DFB for all Boo Bash news and updates!

Disney’s After Hours BOO Bash replaced Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year. Even though it’s a shorter event that’s a little more expensive, the available spots have filled up quick and tickets have sold out and been restocked multiple times. Grab a Map We’ve been wondering if the After Hours event will mean shorter lines and wait times. Now that the time is finally here, we can bring you all the coverage of what crowds are looking like at Disney’s After Hours BOO Bash! Are the crowds small enough to make the downsized event worth it? Or did everyone and all their friends turn up to celebrate Halloween in the Magic Kingdom? Let’s find out! When we first came into the Magic Kingdom for the party at 7PM, crowds were looking a little heavy right at the gate! A Look at the Crowds We figured this was because it was a mix of the day guests as well as the After Hours party-goers, but after they re-opened ticket sales after previously being sold out we were a little skeptical. Everyone wants some Halloween treats! BOO Bash really got started at 9:30PM, when the park was closed to regular day guests, and at that point, things really started to thin out across the park. All this room for activities! Don’t get us wrong, when you put our favorite Hundred Acre Woods citizens in costumes, people definitely showed up. Even when the crowds came for the characters, we still had all the space we needed. How could you not LOVE Piglet! Wait times for rides were also lower than we have seen them in a LONG time. At 10:30, an hour into the party, the longest wait time was 25-minutes for the Haunted Mansion. Madame Carlotta! Even over at Cinderella Castle, there was enough room to do cartwheels! We could stay here ALL night Looking down the other way at Main Street, U.S.A was more of the same low crowds! Crowd levels are perfect! The crowds were truly low and the kingdom felt pretty empty overall. Keep following DFB, because we’re bringing you all the info from Disney World’s first-ever After Hours BOO Bash!

Grab your treat bags and get ready for some candy! We’re LIVE from the first night of BOO Bash at Magic Kingdom! It’s BOO BASH time! It can be argued that the best part about Halloween is the massive LOADS of candy you are able to accumulate all at the same time. Wondering where you can snag candy at Disney World’s After Hours Event? Well, good news — here is a FULL LIST of all the places you can get treat bags during the event. These locations are all listed on the event map. So if you forget, be sure to grab one at the start of BOO Bash. Boo Bash Guide Map Here’s a look at our treat bag from tonight! You can snag these at wristband distribution. Treat Bag! If you are starting your journey in Tomorrowland then your first stop should be at the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. That is where you will find the first Trick-or-Treat station. Trick-or-Treat If you make your way over near the Tomorrowland Speedway you will find the second Trick-or-Treat station at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe! Hop in and tell Sonny Happy Halloween! Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray’s While we could jam with Sonny all night, we really think it’s time for more candy. Hop on over to Storybook Circus over to where Pete’s Silly Sideshow once lived and you will find the next Trick-or-Treat station. Pete’s Silly Sideshow We are heading under the sea for the next round of sweet treats. You will find the next Trick-or-Treat location at Ariel’s Grotto in New Fantasyland. No more sign but now we get candy! If you still haven’t had enough candy at this point you should make your way over to Pinocchio Village Haus for the next Trick-or-Treat location. No pizza tonight! You may want to start snacking on some of that candy on the way to the next Trick-or-Treat location because it is a little bit farther than the others. You will find the next location over at Pecos Bill. We wouldn’t hate to get some nachos with our candy. Okay, stay focused we almost completed the full circle! The next stop is right before the wildest ride in the wilderness! You will find a Trick-or-Treat location right over by the Splash Mountain entrance. Everything is Satisfactual! We did it! We made it to the last Trick-or-Treat station located in Adventureland! You will find it right over by the Enchanted Tiki Room. In the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room! Here’s a look at some of the candy you might get at those treat locations! Treats! If you have any allergy restrictions don’t forget Disney thought of you too!

Halloween has officially begun in Magic Kingdom and we’re LIVE at the first night of Disney After Hours BOO Bash! The Big Cheese! We’ve seen decorations, merchandise, and now it’s time to go to the first Boo Bash After Hours event of the season! There are some event-exclusive treats to try, so you know we went to check them out as soon as possible! One of the treats is a spooky twist on a classic that you have to see for yourself! Presenting the gorgeous Maleficent Churro! You can find it at the outdoor snack carts on Main Street, U.S.A. during the after hours event. Maleficent Churro It’s a pair of Churros covered in Chocolate Cookie Crumbles, drizzled in Purple Icing, and topped with Green and Purple Sugar and Orange and White Icing. Doesn’t it look magnificently evil?! We’ve actually seen a similar treat at Disneyland Resort in the past, but this one looks just a tad different (and a tad STUNNING if you ask us!). Maleficent Churro And as far as the taste goes, it’s not bad! We were a little bit nervous biting into this churro and totally expected a terrible, messy snack, but it was fine! Maleficent Churro It taste like a churro that was rolled in Oreo cookies crumbles — exactly what was advertised. It wasn’t totally life changing and we wish the churro itself was fresher! You can pick up this wickedly spooky treat for $7. Stay tuned to DFB for more food and snack reviews throughout the entire Halloween season! Click Here to Check Out All Our Halloween Snack Reviews!

Welcome to spooky season! It may only be mid-August, but Disney After Hours BOO Bash officially begins tonight, which means we’ve seen a total invasion of all things Halloween over the past few days! Best view in the Kingdom! From seasonal decor to must-have souvenirs, Magic Kingdom has totally transformed into our ghoulish delight! And now that the event is finally here, we get to check out all the exclusive spooky eats, including a returning item from a past villain’s event! We visited Storybook Treats tonight to grab a returning item, the Five Dozen Egg Slushy! Five Dozen Egg Slushy Inspired by Gaston’s daily ritual of eating five dozen eggs (that’s why he’s roughly the size of a barge), this dessert is a Frozen Custard with Brown Sugar topped with Whipped Cream and garnished with a Cinnamon Stick! Five Dozen Egg Slushy We last saw this treat at the 2020 Disney Villains After Hours, so we were curious to see how this year’s version would compare to its previous appearances. They both have the same list of ingredients, but this years’ has a lot more whipped cream and tasted mostly like egg nog! Five Dozen Egg Slushy This dessert is available during BOO Bash for $5.99. We’ll be trying all of this year’s Halloween goodies around the parks and resorts too, so be sure to stay tuned for more reviews! Read ALL of our Halloween treat reviews here!

We’re LIVE from the Disney After Hours BOO Bash, and there’s so much to share! Spooooooky castle! We’re checking out the entertainment, the rides, and everyone dressed in their Halloween best. On top of that, we’re ready to try some delicious treats! One of the snacks that is exclusive to this year’s event is the Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake! You can find it during the event at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments for $7.99. Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake It’s a Funnel Cake topped with Oreo Crumbles, Purple Vanilla Ice Cream, Green Caramel Drizzle, and M&M’S Milk Chocolate Candies Ghouls Mix. And let us just say, it totally looks like Halloween on a plate! Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake The ice cream isn’t quite as bright and as purple as the picture on the menu card suggested, but ultimately what we really wanted to know was how this dessert would taste! The colorful candy mix provided plenty of fun Halloween colors in this dish. Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake Overall, this dish was just fine. It was good, but if there’s a long line, we wouldn’t wait for this dessert again when we can quickly grab a Mickey Premium Bar instead. We liked it, but it wasn’t at all exciting or different enough for us to be totally wowed by it! And when you consider BOO Bash only lasts for three hours, we don’t want to waste any of our valuable time waiting in line for a dessert that ultimately is just okay. Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake What makes this an even bigger bummer is that Disney is fully capable of producing some stellar funnel cakes, with recent versions like the Mini Candied Bacon S’mores Funnel Cake at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival totally winning us over. Stay tuned to DFB as we continue to check out all that BOO Bash has to offer! We’ll make sure to give you all the updates as they come along!

Today’s the official kickoff of Disney After Hours BOO Bash in Magic Kingdom! Fall in Magic Kingdom! We’re in the park checking out everything at the event, like the characters, costumes, cavalcades, and, of course, the FOOD! We tried out a special frozen treat that’s currently only available during the event! We hopped over to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland to check out the Prince John Sucker Frozen Drink! Prince John Sucker Sign This sweet and sour treat is a Tart Green Apple-Lemonade Slushy topped with Whipped Cream and a Ring Pop for $5.99! With those Florida temperatures continuing to soar as we head towards the fall, a Lemonade Slushy sounds like a great refreshing beverage option! Prince John Sucker The Prince John Sucker was very, very tart with a strong apple flavor. It was also quite sticky but we liked its vivid green color! VERY Apple-y We got a grape-flavored Ring Pop but the flavor may vary!

We’re at Disney World’s first After Hours BOO Bash event tonight! It’s BOO BASH time! We noticed something a bit strange regarding tonight’s BOO Bash event, and if you were hoping for tickets last minute, you may want to read on. Earlier this afternoon at Magic Kingdom in Disney World, we noticed this sign stating that BOO Bash is sold out for tonight. We reported recently about sold-out BOO Bash dates, which included today, August 10th, so this was not a surprise. Tickets Are Sold Out And when we checked Disney’s website, August 10th is listed as sold out there too. ©Disney However, when we arrived at Magic Kingdom for BOO Bash tonight, we noticed yet another sign — and this one states that tickets ARE available! We confirmed with Disney World Guest Relations that BOO Bash is not sold out for tonight and tickets can be purchased. Tickets Are Available! So if you’re in the mood for attending BOO BAash last minute, hurry over to Magic Kingdom! We don’t know how long tickets will be sold, and BOO Bash ticket holders were able to begin entering Magic Kingdom as of 7PM EST. This is also something to keep in mind if you are hoping to attend BOO Bash later in the season. Even if the date is sold out now, you may be able to buy tickets at the gate night of.

Don’t lose your head like the Headless Horseman as you pose for this Magic Shot! ©Disney These next two photos embody the classic Halloween spirit in Disney. Nothing gives off an eerie vibe quite like a dark, foggy night. ©Disney Over the years, we’ve seen several versions of the Hitchhiking Ghosts Magic Shot. No need to beware of these ghosts; Phineas, Ezra, and Gus just need a ride — can you give them a lift? ©Disney Maleficent and her fiery breath really frame this photo. Is it dragon breath, or did she just eat a spicy Pescado Taco over at La Cantina de San Angel? ©Disney If we had to take a wild guess as to where this Magic Shot is located, we would say it’s probably over in Adventureland. Be careful with that glass bottle — the Black Pearl is in there! ©Disney Finally, you can conjure up some spells over a witch’s cauldron in this last photo op.

It’s another beautiful day in Walt Disney World! What a beautiful day to be here! Magic Kingdom has been very busy preparing for the Halloween season with snacks, decorations, and new merchandise. But, fall celebrations aren’t the only thing going on — today we’re sharing everything new from our visits to the park in the past few days! Magic Kingdom Food Update First up in Magic Kingdom food news is the grand reopening of Columbia Harbour House after more than 16 months of being closed! This quick service restaurant serves up New England fare and we stopped by on the reopening day to check it out (click here to see our experience!). Columbia Harbour House is BACK, baby! And since Columbia Harbour House is back up and running, Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant has gone back to a seasonal schedule. This spot was serving the Columbia Harbour House menu for several months. It’s completely closed in here. So far, it has been closed every day this week. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to get your fish and chips one way or another! Click Here for the Full Review of the Reopened Columbia Harbour House! Magic Kingdom Construction Update There has been a LOT of construction in Magic Kingdom lately! First, for a really exciting update — Halloween decorations are now up all around the park. Fall in Magic Kingdom! We spotted Mickey pumpkin wreaths hanging from the light posts… We love our Mickey pumpkins. …and even some adorable pumpkin patches in the castle hub area. How festive! How cute is this?! Also, after several months of being covered in scrim, the Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station is finally starting to get unveiled. It looks like it got some paint touch-ups ahead of the 50th Anniversary! It looks amazing! And speaking of cosmetic touch-ups for the 50th, several other spots are getting some work done as well. We spotted scaffolding on the outside of Splash Mountain… There is a LOT of scaffolding over there. …construction walls outside of Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe… Part of the restaurant is covered in scrim. …and painting happening around Big Top Souvenirs. We even spotted workers out one day! There was also some scaffolding on the outside of Be Our Guest Restaurant. Disney’s really going hardcore into fixing things up this month! Updates going on over here as well. And we can’t forget the Tron coaster! Construction is plugging along on this new ride, and we can’t wait to get more details in the future. It’s coming along! There’s a lot to look forward to in the coming months, and if this construction is any indication, the parks are going to be in top-notch condition for the celebrations! Click Here to Learn More About Current Refurbishments! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Update If you thought that there was a lot of construction…just wait until you see all the new merchandise! First up, there are a few new shirts for kids in The Emporium. They’re $19.99 and you can get designs based on The Lion King… This one has Pumbaa on it! …The Little Mermaid… Who doesn’t love a good mermaid tee?! …and Monsters, Inc. What a great selection! Okay, this one is super cute. There’s also a fun clipboard photo frame that we hadn’t noticed before. This is the perfect place to put your pictures from your vacation to Disney World! This would look great on a shelf or coffee table. There were several new phone cases in Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. next to Space Mountain. We spotted a Minnie Mouse and a Millennium Falcon design! Some of the cases were Kingdom Hearts designs! What a fun accessory — they’re even in 3-D. New cases! And if you like the phone case, you can even get a matching MagicBand design. It’s one of the new options at the design-your-own kiosk! Stop by the store’s kiosk to check out the other options. In Uptown Jewelers, we spotted some new Loungefly backpacks for $80 each. Marvel fans will love the new Spider-Man design! We NEED this. And there’s also a Captain Marvel pattern that’s not too over-the-top. This backpack type is very popular right now! If you love The Mandalorian on Disney+, then this adorable new Grogu backpack will be the perfect addition to your wardrobe. But, we’ll warn you — this design has been very popular! He’s too precious to pass up. Besides those items, a BUNCH of new Halloween merchandise dropped ahead of the season kickoff. We got everything from shirts to ears to pins to shoes! Halloween Merchandise is all over the place! And we should also let you know that we had a particularly difficult time finding face masks for sale in the park. There seemed to be a shortage of them in many places around the property. This isn’t too surprising, considering the recent policy change. There are a lot of items, but face masks are hard to find. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for all the new products releasing daily in the parks. Click Here to Check Out the New Halloween Merchandise! Magic Kingdom Attractions Update After being closed for more than a year, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor had its soft opening on August 5th, with the official opening on August 8th! The show is just as funny as we remember, with lots of audience participation and the star of the show, “that guy.” (If you know, you know. ) Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor Also, we noticed several attraction malfunctions on August 9th. At one point in the day, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Liberty Square Riverboat were all closed due to technical difficulties. It was closed for a large portion of the day. In fact, we’ve seen Splash Mountain having issues multiple times this week. If you want to ride it on your visit, try and get it in early in the day! Learn About Other Returning Entertainment Options Here! Magic Kingdom Crowds Update And finally, let’s talk about crowds. Magic Kingdom has been VERY busy the past few weeks. Some days, the crowds on transportation were so thick that it was difficult to move! It has been VERY busy these days. The parks have been really crowded in general, so make sure to plan ahead and arrive as early as you can in the mornings to avoid the longest wait times. Be prepared to wait in lines! We’ll make sure to keep you updated on everything happening in Disney World in the coming weeks, so stay tuned to DFB! We’re covering all the news straight from the parks!

We love finding secret menu items here at DFB! The Heart of Polynesia! We’ve found exclusive secret items at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, hidden drinks at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, and even deliciously discreet appetizers over at Skipper Canteen! Well, today we discovered a hack not on the menu at BaseLine Tap House in Hollywood Studios that’s perfect for people who don’t drink beer, but still want something with alcohol! BaseLine Tap House is known for having craft beers on tap, as well as a decent charcuterie board and a GIANT pretzel! They also usually have a hard cider, a couple mixed drinks, a couple wines, and a few non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. BaseLine Tap House menu None of those sound appealing to you? Well, guess what! We found out today that you can add liquor to the non-alcoholic drinks on the menu here!! A lot of options! Yep, Cast Members told us they can add any of the liquors they have to the soda on tap or the strawberry lemonade! It’s not listed on the menu, but a single shot will make the drink $13 and you can get a double for $15! Which drink do you want to try with alcohol? We HAD to try this out, so we got the Barrilitos Strawberry Hibiscus Soda with Absolut Citron added in, and wow…we think we might’ve just found one of our favorite new drinks! Look at how pretty it is! It was served over ice with a lemon wedge and was SUPER refreshing! The soda is basically a fun fruit juice that’s carbonated. It’s a little bit on the sweet side, which is why we chose the Citron vodka to cut the flavor with a little tartness. It ended up tasting sort of like a spiked, carbonated strawberry lemonade! Drink up! Although we chose vodka, you can choose whichever liquor your heart desires! Cast Members said adding vodka or rum to the strawberry lemonade is pretty popular. Keep in mind that if you pick a top shelf liquor, the drink could cost more, but the majority will be the same price once added to the drink. Perfect for a hot Summer day! So, if you’re looking for a carbonated drink with a little kick of alcohol, check this one out! If you don’t like strawberry or hibiscus, you might wanna skip this one, because you can definitely taste those flavors. We’re so excited we figured this hack out! And $15 for a double is a really good value considering a lot of cocktails in Hollywood Studios are between $14 and $16. If you’re looking to try something not officially on the menu, check these drinks out! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney tricks and tips.

Halloween has arrived in Disney World (yes, in August)! Halloween is Here! The Halloween season is kicking off with decorations, merchandise, and the start of Disney After Hours Boo Bash. And, of course, we can’t forget about ALL of the goodies you can find across the parks! We’ve already tried quite a few spooky treats today, and now we’re ready to share our thoughts on another. Is this a treat you should grab? Let’s find out! If you’re in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can stop by the ABC Commissary to check out the new tart in town! The Caramel Apple Tart is a spiced caramel cheesecake mousse apple served on top of a cinnamon-apple tart. This treat it reminds us a lot (some in terms of look and others in terms of ingredients) of a few treats we’ve seen before like the apple tart we saw in Disneyland in 2019 and the Poisoned Candy Apple we saw in Disney World last year. Caramel Apple Tart While we have to acknowledge how CUTE the appearance is of this treat, the Caramel Apple Tart tasted just as good as it looked! The Candy Apple Tart reminded us of an apple pie. The apple filling along the bottom paired nicely with the tart’s shell, giving us some Thanksgiving dessert vibes! ADORABLE Plus, the apples and the tart shell provided a great crunch, complimenting the soft mousse. The tart wasn’t overly sweet, and had a nice balance of cinnamon to add an extra layer of flavor. If you aren’t a fan of that mousse consistency though, you might not enjoy this treat, so just keep that in mind. This treat is also one that’s really for apple/apple pie fans so if you prefer pumpkin spice, chocolate, or other fall flavors (aside from apple) then you’ll want to consider some of the other treats that are available! Heart Eyes You can stop by ABC Commissary to indulge in the Caramel Apple Tart for $5.49 from now until November 11th. We’re working our way through lots of Halloween treats in Disney World so be sure to check back with us for more news, reviews, and photos.
