Marvel’s Black Widow was released earlier this month after being repeatedly delayed due to the global pandemic. Black Widow It was released in theaters and on Disney+ with premiere access. But now, star of the film Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney over the way the movie was released in both theaters and on the streaming service simultaneously, claiming it was a breach of contract. According to The Wall Street Journal, Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit today in Los Angeles Superior Court against Disney, saying that, “her agreement with Disney’s Marvel Entertainment guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release, and her salary was based in large part on the box-office performance of the film.” ©Disney “Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms. Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel,” the suit said. ©Disney As we’ve seen, Disney has been releasing new movies on Disney+ (sometimes in addition to theaters) due to the global pandemic and theaters previously being closed. Other streaming services have done the same, like HBO Max, but according to The Wall Street Journal, AT&T Inc.’s WarnerMedia (who operates HBO Max) renegotiated the contracts of its talent that were tied to box-office performance. ©Disney The Journal also says that “according to the complaint, Ms. Johansson’s representatives sought to renegotiate her contract after learning of the dual-release strategy for “Black Widow,” which she has said is her ninth and last Marvel movie. Disney and Marvel were unresponsive.” ©Disney | Marvel Studios The Wall Street Journal says the movie going to Disney+ is projected to cost Scarlett Johansson over $50 million, according to a claim from a person familiar with her contract. ©Disney We’ll keep you updated on any further developments.

The new Jungle Cruise movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt officially comes out tomorrow in theaters and with premier access on Disney+! ©Disney To celebrate the occasion, one Disney World restaurant is adding several new items to their menu, each with a Jungle Cruise theme! Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar in Disney Springs is themed after the character in Disney’s Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Arc movie! They serve up snacks and appetizers along with a wide array of adventure-themed cocktails! Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar The bar is all about adventures and exploration, so it’s no wonder they’re joining the Jungle Cruise celebration with new dishes and cocktails! We couldn’t resist heading down to try out what’s new! Jungle Cruise Items! First, Jock Lindsey is serving up three new cocktails! ©Disney On the food side of the menu, Jock Lindsey added the “Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread and the “Forbidden Eye Potato Skins”! ©Disney First up, we tried the Feeding Frenzy for $15. This drink is a combo of Herradura Blanco Tequila, Malibu Coconut Rum, Bols Blue Curaçao, Sweet-and-Sour, and Pineapple Juice topped with Candy Fish, Pineapple Salsa, and Grenadine. Feeding Frenzy The presentation on this drink was so fun because it really does look a bit like a feeding frenzy occurred in your drink! It’s well-themed to the Jungle Cruise and VERY sweet. If you like tropical, sweeeeeet drinks, this one might be for you! Feeding Frenzy Next, we gave the Huallaga Hibiscus a sip for $15. Expect flavors of Tito’s Handmade Vodka, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Lime Juice, Pure Cane Sugar, Mint, Soda Water, and Hibiscus. Huallaga Hibiscus The Huallaga Hibiscus was probably the most refreshing. It was a lot like a really great vodka soda but with a beautiful presentation. We loved the hints of mint and elderberry! We have to say, this one is probably going to be pretty popular because it’s so Instagrammable! Huallaga Hibiscus And our final drink was the Sleeping Zebra for $13! This one is Baileys Irish Cream, RumChata Liqueur, Stoli Vanil Vodka, and Half & Half finished with Chocolate Sauce. Pretty classic! Sleeping Zebra This one seemed a bit like a Christmas drink because of the RumChata but we still liked it a lot! It was light and cold but you DO have to drink it fast since it’s a milky cocktail in the middle of summer. Be warned: The chocolate does sink to the bottom, so give it a stir if you want it better mixed. Sleeping Zebra Now, onto the EATS! The “Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread is available for $9. “Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread This small plate option is a Flatbread topped with Duck Confit, Goat Cheese, Roasted Red Pepper Coulis, and Kalamata Olives. “Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread This flatbread was DELICIOUS. The base is an olive oil and herb flatbread that goes SO well with the generous amount of goat cheese. We absolutely loved the peppers and olives on top because they made it a more unique bite. “Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread It’s not a huge portion so this is definitely more of a small meal, appetizer, or one-of-many-items order, but it’s so good! “Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread And FINALLY, get ready for the “Forbidden Eye’ Brazilian-style Skins for $12. “Forbidden Eye’ Brazilian-style Skins This eat is Potato Skins with Smoked Sausage, Couve, Sweet Potato, Four-Cheese Blend, and Quail Egg. “Forbidden Eye’ Brazilian-style Skins This is a really fun dish! We loved the light collard greens as they helped to bring a great saltiness to the overall dish. The potatoes were very crispy and the cheese blend was nice. We might wish it was a bit gooier but it was still a great amount of cheese! Add that runny quail egg on top and we’d definitely order this portion again! “Forbidden Eye’ Brazilian-style Skins All of these new additions are available now through August 30th of this year! Make sure to land (or crash land) at Jock Lindsey’s sometime soon so you can give the Jungle Cruise items a try before they’re gone!

A lot of things have changed at Disneyland since it first reopened in April. Disneyland Hotel More restaurants have reopened, more of its hotels have reopened, and even a whole new land (Avengers Campus) has become available for fans to enjoy. And now, if you’re planning to stay at a Disneyland Resort hotel in the future, there’s a new digital feature you need to know about! Earlier today, Disneyland announced that hotel guests will soon be able to utilize the existing online check-in service AND go straight to their rooms as they’ll be able to open their hotel room door using a digital key. This digital key will allow guests to unlock their hotel rooms with their smart devices. This is something that is already in place in Disney World and can be accessed through the My Disney Experience app. But soon Disneyland hotel guests will be able to enjoy it too through the Disneyland app! Disneyland Hotel Room Keep in mind the use of the digital key will be optional. If you want to use the digital key, here’s what you’ll need to do: First, you’ll need to link your Disneyland Resort hotel reservation to your Disney account — you can do that online or through the Disneyland app. Then, you’ll want to complete your online check-in. You can do this up to five days prior to your arrival. Or, you can check-in at the Front Desk when you arrive. Once your room is ready, you’ll be able to locate your room number within the digital key feature after you’ve signed into your Disney account on the Disneyland app. Again, if you use online check-in you’ll be able to bypass the front desk and go straight to your room. Once at your room, you’ll tap the “Unlock Door” button and hold your mobile device against the door lock. Keep in mind, you must be using a Bluetooth-enabled device and you’ll need to download the latest version of the Disneyland app. Disneyland Hotel Room The digital key can do more than just let you into your room though. It also lets you charge select dining and shopping items to your hotel room from the Disneyland app. And you’ll be able to access designated hotel areas that require a key (like the pools and fitness centers) by using the digital key. Again, you’ll need to be signed into your Disney account on the Disneyland app to access the digital key feature. Also, keep in mind that the Disney account holder who is marked as the “primary guest” on the hotel reservation is the only guest that will be able to activate the digital key. Grand Californian Hotel The digital key option is currently available at the Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Disneyland has shared that they look forward to introducing the digital key feature to Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel in the future. If you want a traditional key instead of the digital key, you’ll be able to get that from the front desk. But, if you want to skip those lines at the front desk and just head straight to your room, check out the digital key feature! We’ll keep an eye out for more updates from Disneyland and let you know what we find! Click here to see the latest updates about Disneyland’s indoor mask policy.

We are SO excited about the upcoming Disney Cruise ship! The tower on the Disney Wish ©Disney Disney Cruise Line has been hard at work developing the Disney Wish and we’re so excited to head on board when it launches next summer. We’ve already seen many of the amazing dining offerings and more coming to the ship, and now we have more information on ADULTS-ONLY fun! Disney cruises are well known for having amazing offerings for kids, but guests ages 18 and older have some pretty awesome options too! According to Imagineering teams, the Disney Wish has been “purposefully designed with adults’ vacation needs in mind – including more relaxation, more variety, more accessibility, and more storytelling than ever before!” ©Disney Let’s take a look at some of the adults-only options! Spa Offerings Disney officially announced a few spa offerings coming to the trip including Disney Cruise Line’s first-ever outdoor spa retreat, standalone spa, and standalone barbershop experiences. Outdoor Oasis at Senses Spa The Outdoor Oasis at Senses Spa is a dedicated outdoor relaxation space that will have whirlpool spas, plush loungers, and plenty of space for open-air yoga. Outdoor Oasis ©Disney The Outdoor Oasis is an extension of the Disney Cruise Line signature Rainforest experience which has been completely reimagined for the new ship. Senses Spa ©Disney In the Disney Wish spa, guests will find the fleet’s first ice lounge for use with thermal therapies, plus favorite elements like heated ergonomic loungers; sensory spa showers; and sauna, steam, and dry chambers. Senses Spa ©Disney The spa also looks like it will have accompanying products. Senses Spa ©Disney WOW. What an amazing and relaxing space! Untangled Salon The ship features the Untangled Salon, inspired by Tangled. This full, standalone spa will offer haircuts, styling, manicures, pedicures, teeth whitening, and skin treatments. Untangled Salon ©Disney As you can tell, the salon will have Rapunzel-inspired theming with shades of purple and gold, floating lantern light fixtures, custom cut metal privacy screens with Rapunzel’s paintings, and a magical flower chandelier. Hook’s Barbery For men, there’s a twist on a traditional European men’s salon with Hook’s Barbery, inspired by Peter Pan. This salon will offer cuts, shaves, nail care, and skincare. PLUS, this spot comes equipped with a hidden bar stocked with pre-Prohibition bourbons, vintage whisky and port, aged rum, and premium spirits. Hook’s Barbery ©Disney As for the theme of the space, expect to see dark woods, leather chairs, ornate gold mirrors, an inlaid wooden map of Neverland, a hidden pocket watch, a hook, and even a visit from Tinker Bell. Bars and Lounges Speaking of bars, there are THREE new upscale bars and lounges that were announced. Keg & Compass First up, the Keg & Compass will be the Disney Wish’s signature pub inspired by the architectural style of a late 1800s Norwegian sailor’s map room and the rich folklore of Norse seafaring. This bar will feature a grand map in the ceiling, references to ocean lore, and details of sea-related Disney characters like Ursula and Moana. Plus, check out that map to spot some important locales related to The Walt Disney Company and, specifically, the design and construction of the Disney Wish. Keg & Compass ©Disney This spot will be a great location to watch live sports, news, and major broadcast events while sipping on a specialized selection of beers (including three custom craft brews available exclusively aboard the Disney Wish!), liquors, wines, and cocktails. Nightingale’s Nightingale’s is a piano bar inspired by the rendition of “Sing Sweet Nightingale” sung in Cinderella. Expect an extensive menu of fine wines and hand-crafted cocktails. Nightingale’s ©Disney The space has a soft metallic palette with a bubble-inspired signature chandelier and a vibrant lounge. Nightingale’s will sit just off of the lobby and act as somewhat of an extension of the fairytale-inspired Grand Hall. The Bayou And FINALLY, Disney Cruise Line also announced The Bayou, an informal lounge themed to (You guessed it!) The Princess and the Frog! This bar will have the theme of magnolia blossoms, lily pads, and a canopy of twinkling fireflies — much like the enchanted marsh from the film. We’ll see a menu of creative cocktails, specialty coffees, and signature beignets. Plus, get ready for live entertainment and musical performances! The Bayou ©Disney Wow, that’s a LOT of updates about the Disney Wish! We can’t wait to check out this all-new cruise ship when it debuts next year.

“For the first time since the pandemic, our theme parks returned nicely to profitability,” said Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. “This was led by Orlando, where we’ve seen strong domestic demand.” View the full article Universal Orlando attendance returns to 2019 levels as theme parks recover from the pandemic By AUSTIN FULLER ORLANDO SENTINEL | JUL 29, 2021 AT 12:04 PM Universal Orlando’s attendance returned to 2019 levels in the quarter ending June 30, executives from parent company Comcast revealed on a Thursday morning earnings call. “For the first time since the pandemic, our theme parks returned nicely to profitability,” said Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. “This was led by Orlando, where we’ve seen strong domestic demand.” Comcast’s theme parks’ revenue increased to nearly $1.1 billion in the quarter, up from $136 million in the same quarter last year. NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell said from an attendance standpoint, Orlando is “pretty close to back where we were in 2019 even though we don’t have any international visitors.” “You would expect those international visitors to pick up over time,” Shell said. He did say the coronavirus situation could be “non-linear,” but so far the trajectory for the domestic theme parks is good and expected to continue. Universal’s Islands of Adventure officially opened a new ride, Jurassic World VelociCoaster, in June. Austin Fuller Orlando Sentinel

Okay, we’ve got one for all you seafood lovers headed to Disney World! Perfect lobster We’ve told you a lot about the best Disney World restaurants for picky eaters, the best value quick-service spots, the best restaurants for first-time visitors, and more! But now, we’re going to give you a full run-down of all the BEST seafood locations at Disney World! Now, this isn’t the full list of every spot in Disney World you’ll find a seafood dish (most sit-down restaurants offer some sort of seafood item), but just our list of favorite spots to find amazing seafood! We’ll give you our top picks for a Quick Service and a Table Service restaurant in all four parks as well as our top choices for Disney Springs and the Disney Resort Hotels. Keep in mind, just because a restaurant specializes in seafood (lookin’ at you, Coral Reef) doesn’t mean it’s what we think is the BEST. So, strap on your lobster bib, pull out your crab mallet, and let’s dig in! Best of Magic Kingdom Quick Service: Tomorrowland Terrace Surprise! We bet you didn’t even know you could get good seafood at Magic Kingdom, but you can get some yummy seafood at Tomorrowland Terrace (which is currently serving food previously served at Columbia Harbour House). So feel free to drop in and enjoy the Lobster Roll, along with Fried Shrimp, Fried Fish, and Fried Chicken Nuggets. Lobster Roll This whole menu is practically seafood. The Lobster Roll pulls in a lot of guests with the Chilled Lobster with a touch of Mayonnaise on a New England-style Bun served with Fries for $15.99. Can’t decide but really looking to fill up on seafood? You can get the Shrimp, Fish, and Chicken all in one platter with the Trio Platter. Let’s just say we would argue that this is one of the best quick-service restaurants at Magic Kingdom right now! BUT WAIT! Disney just recently announced that Columbia Harbour House, the OG home of seafood in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, will be reopening SOON on August 5th. Then, we’ll be able to enjoy much of the same food back in its original (slightly more nautical setting than Tomorrowland!) home. Read Our Most Recent Review of Tomorrowland Terrace Table Service: Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen Although Adventureland’s Skipper Canteen isn’t necessarily a seafood restaurant, there is one dish here that we highly recommend. It’s the Sustainable Fish, which is described as “Not Piranha,” served on Cassava fritter with wilted greens and a guava-habanero sauce for $31.00. This is exactly what it sounds like — fresh whole fish (we’ve received one large fish like a Lionfish, or two smaller fish like Yellowtail before. It depends what’s sustainable at the time!) flash fried and served up for you to pick apart to your heart’s content. Whole Fried Fish(es) at Skipper Canteen. The presentation has changed slightly! We love the unique take that Skipper Canteen has on all of its entrees, service, and even the atmosphere. This is not your typical theme park restaurant, and it stands to reason that this is likely not your typical fish entree, either! Tiffins in Disney’s Animal Kingdom serves up a VERY similar entree for about $11 bucks more (so save those pennies and get it here instead!). Read Our Most Recent Review of Skipper Canteen Best of Disney’s Animal Kingdom “Quick Service”: Nomad Lounge OK, OK — you caught us. Nomad Lounge isn’t actually a quick service restaurant. But since it doesn’t require (or even accept) Advanced Dining Reservations, we’re squeezing it in through this loophole. Right next door to Tiffins, on the border of Discovery Island and Pandora, you’ve got Nomad Lounge. This cozy spot is serving up one of our favorite dishes at Animal Kingdom, the Togarashi-Spiced Tuna Bowl. This bowl features some very nicely-seared tuna over rice with red cabbage kimchi, ginger-scallion oil, and crimini mushrooms for $15. But it does pack some heat with the Togarashi spices. Togarashi-spiced Tuna Nomad Bowl Honestly, we like pretty much all the bowls here, but the Tuna Bowl will satisfy you, seafood eaters! The bonus for dining at Nomad’s Lounge is that you can ask your server if the Tiffins menu is also available. Sometimes you can expand your options with access to menus from both locations! (And maybe get that Whole-fried Sustainable Fish found here, the Surf and Turf, or the Charred Octopus from the appetizer menu!). Read Our Full Review of the Bowls at Nomad Lounge Table Service: Yak & Yeti Restaurant Yak & Yeti is not a seafood-specific restaurant, but it does offer some tasty seafood options with a bit of an Asian fusion flare! It is located in the Asia area of Disney World’s Animal Kingdom park — you’ll spot it on your way to the Maharajah Jungle Trek. This is one of those spots where everyone can find SOMETHING they like, so it has become a top DFB go-to. One of our FAVORITE options is the Ahi Tuna Nachos. NACHOS! The Ahi Tuna Nachos come in a shareable size for $18.79 and you’ll find: Sushi grade Ahi tuna, Asian slaw, crispy fried wontons, wasabi aioli, and a sweet soy glaze. These nachos keep us coming back and even non-seafood lovers are willing to try them! Yak & Yeti has other seafood options as well, which may change from time to time, but usually offer a variety of tuna or shrimp salads, seafood curry, shrimp lo mein, miso salmon, and coconut shrimp. Next time you’re craving some seafood — hit up Yak & Yeti! Another Animal Kingdom spot you can find some seafood is: Tiffins Read About our Latest Experience at Yak & Yeti Best of Disney’s Hollywood Studios Quick Service: ABC Commissary ABC Commissary is not the first restaurant that comes to mind when it comes to dining in Hollywood Studios, nor is it the first spot that comes to mind when you’re trying to find a seafood fix. But it is a solid choice for finding some alternatives to the traditional fast-food style quick service options. Right now, it is serving Shrimp Tacos for $12.99 which comes with Sauteed Shrimp on Flour Tortillas topped with Cabbage Slaw, Chipotle-Mayonnaise, and Mango Salsa served with Mexican rice and Black Beans topped with Questo Fresco. Shrimp Tacos These tacos were straight-up delightful. We didn’t have many expectations and were shocked after trying them! Over the past few years, we have witnessed the menu here find its footing in the quick service lineup that Hollywood Studios offers. The Shrimp Tacos are currently the only seafood on the menu, but they’re worth a stop! Read Our Full Review of ABC Commissary HERE Table Service: Hollywood Brown Derby Sure, you can always get that world-famous Cobb Salad at Hollywood Brown Derby, but there are some good seafood selections here, too, including Lobster Bisque, Sea Scallops, Tuna Carpaccio, Ora King Salmon, and more! Let’s be honest, you can never go wrong with a classic like a Shrimp Cocktail, You’ll feel like a quintessential movie star as you enjoy these perfect shrimp served with shaved fennel, cucumbers, and a traditional cocktail sauce for $15. It’s a pricey small starter, but a fantastic way to start any dining experience! Shrimp Cocktail And this is just the beginning of your seafood meal, you can continue to enjoy salmon or tuna, and don’t forget the Lobster Thermidor Macaroni and Cheese. You’ve never had mac n’ cheese like this! So if you want to take some time out of your Hollywood Studios day, give your feet a break and indulge in some nice seafood in one of the park’s most relaxing settings. Read Our Latest Review of Hollywood Brown Derby Best of EPCOT Quick Service: Yorkshire County Fish Shop So there are a few places on our “Best Of” lists for Fish and Chips, and one of those is Yorkshire County Fish Shop. And yes, you will probably have to stand in line to sample these Fish and Chips, but there’s a reason the line is usually long here — the fish and chips here are UH-mazing. Fish and Chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop The fish is fresh, the batter makes for a perfect crunch, and the hearty chips are perfection. What’s not to love? Even better? This is a quick-service location so you can get your Fish and Chips to go or grab a table and settle down with a pint from the beer selections or from the nearby Rose and Crown Pub! Now that’s a classic British seafood experience! Looking to make it even more of an event? Rose and Crown Dining Room serves up a very similar (and larger) portion of the Fish and Chips! Read Our Most Recent Review of Yorkshire County Fish Shop Table Service: Monsieur Paul NOTE: Monsieur Paul has not yet reopened at Disney World. Monsieur Paul is actually considered a signature dining experience by Disney. It is all about creating an authentic French dining experience. You’ll find the cozy spot on the second floor above Chefs de France and feel instantly transported to a fine French restaurant in Paris, not in the heart of a popular theme park! This classically French menu features an impressive lineup of fresh seafood. You can opt to start with the Smoked Fish Assortment or the Escargot Cromesquis. You also can’t go wrong with the Pan-Seared Arctic Char Filet or the Bacon-wrapped Tilefish. We loved the Red Snapper that was once on the menu, but the potato-scaled Black Sea Bass seems like the same dish with a different fish! Monsieur Paul Red Snapper How’s that for getting your seafood fix? Monsieur Paul isn’t cheap — most entrees are around $40-50 — but you’re paying for quality here. We are anxiously awaiting the return of Monsieur Paul. It may welcome us back with a whole new menu, but we’re all too willing to book our next reservation here and enjoy one of our favorite EPCOT seafood meals! Some other EPCOT spots you can find some seafood are: Rose and Crown Tokyo Dining — currently closed Coral Reef Takumi-Tei — currently closed Read Our Most Recent Monsieur Paul Review Best of Disney Resort Hotels Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa If you’re looking for a nice and casual seafood restaurant at Disney World, Narcoossee’s might just be everything you’re looking for. This is where you can try their Pan-Seared Scallops, Grilled Wild King Salmon, Steamed Whole Maine Lobster, and more! Pan-seared Georges Bank Day Boat Scallops This spot, right on the water of the Seven Seas Lagoon provides that authentic seaside dining experience. It offers amazing views of Magic Kingdom, the relaxing energy of the lagoon, and the added bonus of being just a few steps away from the Grand Floridian boat launch, so you can enjoy a nice boat ride back to Magic Kingdom after your meal. And while it’s not seafood, there’s an incredible Filet Mignon to be found here, too! Check Out Our Most Recent Review of Narcoossee’s Olivia’s Cafe at Disney’s Old Key West Resort Olivia’s Cafe is one of those rare gems that many Disney World guests really don’t know about — maybe it’s because Old Key West is predominantly a Disney Vacation Club destination, but we’ll sing the praises of Olivia’s as much as we can. The food here is inspired by Key West meaning you’ll find some traditional seafood offerings, like a Catch of the Day and Crab Cakes. Crab Cake We love these Crab Cakes that are pan-seared and served with jalapeno aioli, grilled pineapple salsa, and chayote slaw for $13. But don’t miss out on the more unique offerings, too, like the Conch Fritters. This resort is a little out of the way, but those who know about it regularly make the trek to dine here! If you’re a seafood fan, you can’t go wrong with any of the offerings here. Read Our Most Recent Review of Olivia’s The Disney resort hotels have so many restaurants that offer such varied fares, you’re bound to find one that you enjoy! Keep checking their menus as chefs and restaurants change things up from time to time, but below are some tried and true options that we’ve enjoyed — they just didn’t quite make it to the tippy top of our list! Seafood boil at Cape May Some other Disney Resort Hotel spots you can find some seafood are: Cape May Cafe — at Disney’s Beach Club Resort Kona Cafe — at Disney’s Polynesian Resort California Grill — at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Flying Fish (currently closed) — at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Villas Il Mulino — at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Kimonos — at Disney Swan and Dolphin Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Riviera — at Disney’s Riviera Resort Todd English’s bluezoo – at Disney Swan and Dolphin Toledo — Tapas, Steak & Seafood (Reopening on August 5th!) — at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, in the Gran Destino Tower Here’s Our Most Recent Review of Cape May Best of Disney Springs The BOATHOUSE With a name like The BOATHOUSE, you should expect a menu heavy with seafood dishes, and that’s exactly what you’ll get here. The seafood here is copious and FRESH. This is where you can tuck into a classic oyster bar, or splurge on seafood, like Maine Lobster Tail Oscar, Firecracker Shrimp, and Shrimp & Andouille Mac and Cheese. Shrimp and Andouille Mac and Cheese — Up Close What’s not to love about this? Bay shrimp, smoked sausage, pipette pasta in a spicy cheddar-beer sauce. And if that isn’t enough for you, you can add Main Lobster meat (for an additional $10!)And for fun, be sure to order the Duck Duck Razz drink because well — it’s got a rubber duckie in it! How fun! Check Out our Review of Brunch at The BOATHOUSE Raglan Road Irish Pub So here we are, talking about Fish and Chips again and we have no regrets. But if you’re looking for some authentic Irish-style Fish and Chips, you’ll want to make a beeline for Raglan Road. And even better? You can even get Gluten-Free Fish and Chips here! Fish and chips for everyone! Fish and Chips at Raglan Road — Up Close These fish and chips really bring their A-game. You’re served a massive filet of beer-battered fish wrapped in what looks like newspaper (don’t worry, it’s not!). And of course, the hearty chips provide that perfect crispy salty compliment to this classic seafood favorite for $26. If Fish and Chips isn’t your thing, though, you can also order other seafood dishes, including Kiss Before Shrimp, Citrus Salmon Salad, Drunk Mussels, and more! (Pro tip: don’t want to spend a lot of time sitting down for dinner? Cookes of Dublin next door serves up much of the same fried seafood in more of a fast-food setting!) Here’s Our Latest Review of Raglan Road Disney Springs seems to have an inexhaustible list of amazing restaurants, and they keep adding more! These are our top two choices for finding seafood in Disney Springs, but we know there are SO many more choices out there! So, what are you looking for? Lobster corn dogs? Amazing sushi? Garlicky shrimp? Yup, you heard right — Lobster Corn Dogs!!

New features include first-ever outdoor spa retreat and standalone salon experiences, plus upscale bars and lounges CELEBRATION, Fla. (July 29, 2021) – There’s more magic on the horizon for Disney Wish guests ages 18 and older as Disney Cruise Line unveils even more ways for adults to pamper and play, sip and swim, escape and indulge aboard its newest ship in summer 2022. In addition to a previously announced Star Wars-themed lounge and fine dining experiences inspired by “Beauty and the Beast,” the Disney Wish will debut a variety of brand-new venues for adults, including the fleet’s first outdoor spa retreat, unique salon and barbershop experiences, and a collection of upscale bars and lounges sure to suit the tastes of every guest. “With the Disney Wish, we wanted to design an experience that allows our grown-up guests to relax, recharge and reconnect in unique ways that only Disney Cruise Line can create,” said Laura Cabo, portfolio creative executive, Walt Disney Imagineering. “Not only did we infuse more storytelling and enchantment into the adult-exclusive venues, but we added more variety and made them more accessible than ever before. This ship has truly been designed with adults’ vacation needs in mind, and I know our guests are going to return home feeling refreshed after their Disney Wish vacation.” Outdoor Oasis at Senses Spa For the first time aboard a Disney ship, Senses Spa will feature a dedicated outdoor relaxation space where guests can unwind in whirlpool spas, rest on plush loungers and find their center during yoga sessions. This open-air oasis is a brand-new extension to Disney Cruise Line’s signature Rainforest experience, which has been reimagined for the Disney Wish to provide even more ways to relax and rejuvenate. The Rainforest will introduce the fleet’s first ice lounge, allowing guests to combine thermal therapies, which promotes both physical wellness and tranquility. It will also include guest-favorite elements like heated ergonomic loungers; sensory spa showers; and sauna, steam and dry chambers. Senses Spa will also feature private treatment rooms and lavish spa villas for couples. In addition to a menu of massage, facial and acupuncture therapies, guests will be able to select from a menu of specialized treatments that are customized to their needs, such as pain management and sleep improvement. Adjacent to the spa, the reimagined Senses Fitness will offer state-of-the-art exercise and wellness facilities, including a main room with exercise equipment, a dedicated cycle studio and an aerobics room. Salon and Barbery The Disney Wish will premiere two brand-new salon experiences — the fleet’s first standalone venues for hairstyling and beauty services — where adults can treat themselves in inviting, social environments that have been uniquely designed with inspiration from classic Walt Disney Animation Studios films. Untangled Salon At Untangled Salon, adults can let their hair down (and have it styled any way they want) in a light and airy environment that is perfect for pampering. Inspired by Rapunzel — the artistic Disney Princess known for her long, flowing tresses — this chic, high-end salon will be adorned in shades of purple and gold, decorated with floating lantern light fixtures and outfitted with custom cut-metal privacy screens depicting Rapunzel’s own paintings. One side of the space will even gleam and glow with the golden light of a signature chandelier that evokes the iconic flower that gave her hair its magical qualities. In addition to haircuts and styling, the menu of services at Untangled Salon will include manicures, pedicures, teeth whitening and skin treatments. Hook’s Barbery Hook’s Barbery will be a unique twist on a traditional European men’s salon, offering cuts, shaves, and nail and skin care. Decked out in dark woods, handsome leather chairs and ornate golden mirrors, the space will brim with narrative details inspired by its namesake, Captain Hook: an inlaid wooden map of Never Land, a hidden pocket watch and — of course — a hook, to name a few. A trio of seemingly nondescript lanterns will occasionally come to life with lighting and audio effects to signify Tinker Bell jumping from one fixture to another. Not only will Hook’s Barbery provide salon and barber services, but it will also boast the ultimate toast to a pirate’s life: a hidden bar. This (not-so-secret) treasure trove of pre-Prohibition bourbons, vintage whisky and port, aged rum and premium spirits will be a liquor enthusiast’s paradise, ideal for low-key hangouts, romantic date nights, hosted tastings and special evening events. Enchanting Nightlife Like every Disney Cruise Line vessel, the Disney Wish will offer a collection of relaxed and refined bars and lounges reserved exclusively for adults each evening. But for the first time, these venues will be spread out among the ship’s other core gathering places for a more flexible, free-flow experience that will allow guests — particularly parents — more opportunities to enjoy “me time” throughout their cruise. Also new is the prevalence of storytelling in these spaces, providing a variety of ways for adults to experience some of their favorite Disney stories in sophisticated ways designed especially for them. Keg & Compass Keg & Compass is a pub that celebrates the adventure and romance of the sea, designed in the rustic architectural style of a late 1800s Norwegian sailor’s map room. Drawing inspiration from the rich folklore of Norse seafaring, period-style oil paintings will depict tales of the deep and intricate carvings of tentacles, barnacles, compasses and more will accentuate porthole frames. Spanning the entire ceiling will be a grand, fantastical map in old maritime style that features, among other references to ocean lore, a homage to Disney characters and stories related to the sea. In addition to such characters as Ursula and Moana (appearing in the geographically accurate locations of their stories), the map will call out important locales related to The Walt Disney Company and, specifically, the design and construction of the Disney Wish. This casual setting is perfect for guests to kick back and watch live sports, news and major broadcast events while sampling a specialized selection of beers, including three custom craft brews available exclusively aboard the Disney Wish, along with an assortment of liquors, wines and cocktails. Nightingale’s Nightingale’s is a refined piano bar inspired by Cinderella’s lyrical rendition of “Sing Sweet Nightingale” in the 1950 film, offering an extensive menu of fine wines, bubblies and hand-crafted cocktails. Classically modern with a soft metallic palette, the predominant design feature will be a glittering chandelier perched above the piano — a swirl of pearlescent bubbles and music notes displaying the titular song’s melody meticulously crafted out of shimmering rose gold. This vibrant lounge will be a thematic extension of the fairytale-inspired Grand Hall from which it stems, with large doors that allow the twinkling tunes to spill out across the atrium, inviting passersby to stop and stay for a while. The Bayou Guests looking for New Orleans-inspired good time can go down to The Bayou, an informal lounge themed to “The Princess and the Frog.” Flourishing with magnolia blossoms, lily pads and a canopy of twinkling fireflies overhead, this space will evoke the magical marsh where Tiana and Naveen take refuge in the film. A bronze statue of each character will be prominently displayed, and two gazebos inspired by the city’s iconic wrought iron metalwork structures will provide intimate seating for small groups on either side of the bar. This centrally located venue will offer creative cocktails, specialty coffees and signature beignets in a lively, social atmosphere complete with live entertainment and musical performances. More Fun for Adults As previously announced, the Disney Wish will also feature a first-of-its-kind lounge in a galaxy far, far away; a trio of premium culinary experiences inspired by a tale as old as time; and a dedicated pool district on the upper decks exclusively for guests ages 18 and older. Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge For the first time on a Disney ship, guests will embark on a space-jumping tour of the Star Wars galaxy at Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, a high-end bar styled as a luxurious yacht-class spaceship. This richly themed, immersive experience will be reserved for adults every evening, offering interactive tasting experiences and signature beverages inspired by the films. Exquisite Specialty Dining Adults will savor gourmet meals and exceptional beverages at Palo Steakhouse, Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement and The Rose, an upscale suite of epicurean excellence inspired by the elegant icons of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Beauty and the Beast.” Palo Steakhouse is an evolution of the Palo restaurant that Disney cruisers know and love, now combining the relaxed sophistication of authentic Italian dining with the classic refinement of a modern steakhouse in a genteel setting inspired by Cogsworth, the tale’s majordomo-turned-enchanted-clock. Enchanté will offer the most luxurious dining experience on board, featuring a gourmet menu crafted by three-Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement. This romantic and intimate venue will evoke the dazzling spirit of the film’s candelabra maitre d’, Lumiere. Inspired by the fateful flower at the heart of the story, The Rose is a chic lounge at the entrance of Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté, an idyllic setting for a pre-dinner aperitif or after-dinner cocktail. Quiet Cove Pool District At Quiet Cove, guests aged 18 and older will find a secluded adults-only district dedicated to lounging, sipping and soaking. Set away from the bustle of family activities, this peaceful refuge will offer panoramic views of the ocean from a luxurious infinity pool. Other amenities include a whirlpool spa, an open-air bar and a poolside cafe. Maiden Voyage and Inaugural Season The Disney Wish will sail its maiden voyage on June 9, 2022, followed by a season of three- and four-night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral, Florida. To learn more about the Disney Wish or to book a vacation, guests can visit disneycruise.com, call Disney Cruise Line at 888-325-2500 or contact their travel agent. ### View the full article

As conditions continue to change in the world, Disney continues to change and adapt in order to keep guests safe. Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Today, a policy change was announced for Disneyland Resort in order to promote health and safety throughout the property and in partnership with guidance from the CDC. Disneyland has announced that masks will now be required indoors, reversing the policy changes made in June. Beginning July 30th, all Cast Members and guests ages 2 and up will be required to wear appropriate face coverings in all indoor locations at Disneyland Resort regardless of vaccination status. All guests will be wearing face coverings indoors again. This change is also coming to Walt Disney World resort on the same day. This is in response to recent CDC guideline updates on mask-wearing while indoors. We’ll likely see these signs coming back. We’ll be in the park to check out this change and bring you the latest updates and news as it comes. Stay tuned to DFB for all the details!

As the situation with COVID-19 develops, we’ve seen a number of updates announced. Face Masks Recently, the Orange County, Florida mayor recommended that individuals wear masks indoors again, and noted that the county is in “crisis mode” due to the COVID-19 situation there. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also updated their guidance and are now recommending that vaccinated individuals wear masks in indoor, public locations in certain areas. Now, we’ve got an update regarding Disney World’s mask rules. Currently, at Walt Disney World, masks are optional for fully vaccinated guests in most places (except transportation, save for the Disney ferry boats). Guests who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear masks in certain locations, including all indoor locations, including restaurants, except when actively eating or drinking while stationary. ©Disney Previously, the CDC’s mask guidance noted that vaccinated individuals did not need to wear their masks indoors in most places. As noted above, however, the CDC has recently revised its mask guidance. The CDC now recommends that vaccinated people who live in places with “high” or “substantial” COVID-19 transmission resume wearing masks indoors. The CDC has also recommended that vaccinated people who live with vulnerable household members, including young children and/or individuals who are immunocompromised, wear masks indoors in public spaces. Fourth of July Masks Recently, the Orange County, Florida Mayor (Mayor Demings) held a press conference and shared that he recently signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 situation in Orange County. Mayor Demings also shared that he is urging residents and visitors, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, to wear a mask when in indoor spaces with others. Rainbow Mickey Now, Disney has announced changes coming to its mask rules. Face Mask Sign Beginning July 30th, Disney World will require all guests, regardless of vaccination status, to wear masks in an indoor locations. This includes upon entering and throughout attractions. ©Disney However, masks will continue to not be required outdoors at the parks. Masks are also not required on pool decks. Disney Mask As with any other health and safety guidelines, Disney’s new mask policies are always subject to change. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we find.
