Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground has officially reopened! The full spread! And we’re so happy because we’re starting to see many of our favorite restaurants at Disney World reopen, including ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Citricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and Tusker House Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We were at Trail’s End Restaurant on opening day for both breakfast (and dinner)! But how does it compare now that breakfast has been switched from a buffet to family-style all-you-care-to-eat meal? Well, let’s dive into our review and see! Atmosphere When we arrived, we checked in at the check-in desk. The Check-in Desk at Trail’s End The atmosphere of Trail’s End is similar to what you see throughout Fort Wilderness — it’s rustic and meant to make you feel like a real pioneer on the mighty frontier! Yee-haw! The theming here is ON POINT — and don’t be surprised if you see an animal head on the wall staring at you during your meal. Other memorabilia also help set the mood — wagon wheels, old American flags, cauldrons hanging from the ceilings, and more. The exposed beams on the ceiling are also a nice touch. Is it staring at us? When we sat down, our table was already set with plates, a cup for coffee, napkins, and silverware. There was also a card with a QR code to scan for the breakfast menu. QR code for menu Paper menus are also available upon request. Menu An Allergy-Friendly Menu is also available. Allergy-friendly menu If you do plan on dining at Trail’s End, be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get here. If you’re driving to Fort Wilderness, you’ll still have to park and then take a bus to get to the Settlement section of the resort, where you will walk to Pioneer Hall. It is a bit of a trek. Eats So let’s look at the food! As previously mentioned the new menu here is now family-style. (Sound familiar? Pretty much all buffets that have reopened have shifted to this model of dining.) Breakfast is $19.99 per adult and $11.99 per child. Note that if you’ve dined here before, this new menu has far fewer options than the previous buffet offerings — and that could factor into your decision if you’re planning on eating here. It IS still all-you-care-to-eat, but you’ll need to let your server know if you want seconds, thirds, fourteenths of anything. ©Disney There are several cocktail options available for breakfast: a Pioneer Mimosa, a regular Mimosa, and a Bloody Mary. Breakfast cocktails We chose to go with the Pioneer Mimosa for $13, which is made with Orange Juice, Passion Fruit, Guava Juice, and Paul Cheneau Lady of Spain Cuvée. Recognize those first three ingredients — it’s POG juice! We love this fruity breakfast combo in all of its forms and names around Disney World. And how can you go wrong with a bubbly version of POG juice? Worth 13 bucks? Prob not, but it was a nice way to start our day and, when in Disney World, expect to shell out the dough even for juice and bubbles. Cheers For starters, you get a Pastry Basket with a Croissant, a Whole-Grain Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Blueberry Muffin, and Homemade Strawberry Honey Butter. Now let us repeat that last part — STRAWBERRY HONEY BUTTER. Let’s just say we dipped into this butter a LOT during our meal. Keep in mind, we were breakfasting for one but if you have more guests in your group, your portions will scale accordingly (so no fighting for the lone sticky bun!). The pastry basket! We thought the pastry basket was not only perfectly sized but also offered a good variety of breads. We only took a few bites of the Blueberry Muffin and Sticky Bun, but they were both fine — we think those would be real kid-pleasers. Note that the Sticky bun has pecans, though! We especially liked the croissant. But the croissant PLUS the strawberry honey butter? Well, that was just Disney magic. There’s an awesome sweet-salty combo going on here we were really into. That butter, though! Next up was the Berry-Granola-Yogurt Parfait, which was quite enjoyable and had a variety of fruits, including Strawberries, Blueberries, Grapes, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, and Watermelon over Vanilla Yogurt. We loved the bites with watermelon. Yum! Everything tasted super fresh and the fruit was delicious. The granola was on the sparse side, but also added a nice crunch. Look at all that fruit! Finally, it was time for a proper Disney breakfast — and you know what that means! MICKEY WAFFLES! The Breakfast Skillet includes Eggs, Mickey Waffles, Bacon, Sausage, and Cheesy Potato Casserole served with Table Syrup. It’s all served in what is essentially a small metal pot. The Breakfast Skillet! The Mickey waffles were PERFECT and tasted great with the syrup. BUT…and we know you saw this coming – we used some of that Strawberry Honey Butter on them, and THEY WERE EVEN BETTER. Obligatory Mickey Waffle photo The Eggs were nothing special — they were seasoned, but we added a little extra salt and pepper to them from the shakers on the table. But the Cheesy Potato Casserole. Oh the Cheesy Potato Casserole was EXCELLENT. It was mostly shredded potatoes, but there were some larger potato chunks mixed in, too. It was VERY cheesy and you know that makes it a win for us! A couple spots like Chef Mickey’s and Olivia’s Cafe serve up cheesy potatoes similar to this and, honestly, we’re usually a BIG fan! CHHHEEEEESSSEEEY The Bacon and Sausage were also really good, especially since some of the syrup made its way onto both and so we had that whole savory and sweet thing going on, which we LOVE. Thank goodness for a mason jar full of sweet syrup for the table. Nosh or Not Make your way over to Trail’s End if… You’re staying at Fort Wilderness and looking for a sit-down breakfast nearby. Your options are limited here. You don’t care for character breakfasts but still want the boatload of food that typically comes with them. You’re looking for a reason to finally check out Fort Wilderness (if you’ve never been!). Skip Trail’s End if… You don’t want to travel too far for breakfast. Unless you’re already at Fort Wilderness, it’s an EVENT to get out here at times. You prefer character breakfasts. We’d recommend Chef Mickey’s over at the Contemporary instead. You want a quick breakfast to go. This isn’t the place to “pop-in” for a quick bite. Overall Here’s the thing — we think Trail’s End is one of Disney World’s hidden gems. The food here is consistently good, and although the menu has been pared back a bit from the previous buffet offerings, it’s still solid breakfast fare that is sure to please just about everyone in the family. Is it the fanciest breakfast you’ll have? No way. It’s very basic breakfast staples, but that’s OK at times. If you want a reliable sit-down breakfast in Disney World, this will fit the bill. There’s no flash or characters like other spots, but the rustic charm of the location stands on its own. But we have to say this — it is a bit of a journey to get here, so it’s not exactly convenient for guests not staying in the area. Even for guests AT Fort Wilderness, navigating the internal buses to get from A to B at the resort can be tough. But for those who are, this is a good amount of quality food at a great value. Seriously — the adult price is dangerously close to how much we paid for a POG juice mimosa! This breakfast is incredibly affordable for an all-you-care-to-eat meal, especially considering the closest comparable breakfasts are hovering closer to 23-25 bucks per person. Trail’s End continues to be one of those sit-down dining spots that is very “if you know, you know” type thing. It has diehard fans just as much as it probably has guests who have NEVER heard of it! If you don’t frequent the more rustic side of Disney World accommodations (AKA sleeping in a cabin, RV, or tent!) this might be YOUR first exposure to the world of Trail’s End! Still, it stands that if you’re more into solid food than characters for breakfast and you’re looking for a great value at a sit down meal, Trail’s End is a solid bet (if you can find it!).

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto has reopened! This spot at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort serves up whimsical cocktails and is full of the same classic hijinks as Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel! Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Resort Today, the Polynesian officially reopened to guests with a special Dole Whip, surprise reopenings (with loooong virtual wait times), and we got a first look in person of the Moana-themed rooms! While at the reopening of Trader Sam’s today, we found some super fun drinks that you’ll want to know about! There are THREE secret menu drinks! Of course, we stopped by and grabbed all three! We grabbed these at Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace (the outdoor area with many of the same drinks as Grog Grotto), but you should be able to grab them at either location. Yum yum! First, we found the Grunts Grog with Gin, Lemon Juice, Bitters, and Orgeat Syrup for $11. This was our favorite of the three! If you love gin, you’ll really enjoy this one. The lemon juice added a great freshness and zest to it! The Grunts Grog! The next drink we tried was The Heart of Polynesia with Coruba, Bacardi, Blue Curaçao, Cream of Banana, Orange, and Pineapple for $15. If you’re a fan of Moana, you might notice the drink’s color: it’s very similar to the green Heart of Te Fiti! This one was really really sweet! The pineapple and coconut flavors were really strong, but if you have a big sweet tooth this might be up your alley. The Heart of Polynesia! The final drink we found was the Shipwrecked on D Rock with Maker’s Mark, Lemon Juice, Mint, and Agave for $14. This drink was really refreshing! The Maker’s Mark really stands out but the lemon and mint make this drink a refreshing treat! The Shipwrecked on D Rock These aren’t the only secret menu items around the Disney parks! In the past, we’ve seen secret drinks like the Cretaceous Cooler at Restaurantosaurus! Secret menus are just another way Disney adds a little extra magic to the parks!

If you’re familiar with the Kingdom of Cute series over in Disney or remember those designer Hipster Mickey ears, you probably know about artist Jerrod Maruyama.

They meant it when they said Kingdom of CUTE With Halloween right around the corner and our countdown to Christmas in mind, let’s take a look at a sneak preview of the new book! Right off the bat, we can’t help but say, “Awww” when we see Maruyama’s illustrations in Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: 13 Days of Christmas. ©Disney Tim Burton’s spooky, dark style is still on display, but with a little Maruyama flair (Sally’s smile screams Jerrod Maruyama). Also– we love Jack Skellington’s approach– why have twelve days of Christmas when you can have thirteen? ©Disney The gang’s all here as we start the book (peep adorable little Zero)! ©Disney As we move further into the story, we see a Maruyama rendition of a spooky Christmas tree. We have to say, Jack Skellington’s fortune card tree looks pretty sparkly and bright for such a bare-bones little tree. Nice work, Jack. ©Disney Jack looks a little puzzled here– he could use a lifeline. Luckily he’s got three. ©Disney No doubt that this is a perfect gift for fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents will reopen with audio-animatronic Joe Biden in August, Walt Disney World says View the full article By DEWAYNE BEVIL ORLANDO SENTINEL JUL 19, 2021 AT 6:19 PM An audio-animatronic figure of President Joe Biden has been added to the Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom theme park. The attraction will reopen in August, Walt Disney World says. (Walt Disney Co. / Courtesy photo) Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents will reopen — complete with audio-animatronic Joe Biden — next month, Walt Disney World announced Monday. The attraction has been closed for the renovation and addition since Biden took office in late January. On a table near the new figure will be Biden-centric touches, including a set of aviator sunglasses, which the president frequently sports, and a vase of peach blossoms, representing his home state of Delaware, according to a post on the official Disney Parks Blog. The new figure will recite the oath of office, which was recorded by Biden at the White House especially for the attraction, Disney says. Donald Trump’s animatronic also was programmed to say the presidential oath. Every sitting president since Bill Clinton has had a speaking part. In December 2017, Donald Trump was added to the Hall of Presidents, where his animatronic figure stood near a seated Abraham Lincoln. (Walt Disney World / Courtesy) Trump remains on stage with the 44 other figures, representing George Washington and his successors. The exact location has not been shared. Imagineers are putting the final touches on the space, which opened along with the theme park in 1971, the blog says. Disney did not share a specific reopening date for the attraction.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort fully reopened today! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort We’ve known about the reopening of the resort for a while now, but were left in the dark about whether or not Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and Tiki Bar would be back any time soon…until today! Trader Sam’s officially reopened this afternoon and we, of course, got there as soon as we could to get some tiki drinks! But the line to get in got a bit crazy! When we showed up to Trader Sam’s, there was a line to get your name into the virtual queue for the grotto. This was the line to get INTO the virtual line! We got on the list and later got a text to go inside (WHOOP WHOOP). Thankfully we got there early enough, because the virtual queue has now been CLOSED for the rest of the day! Lots of people in here! The virtual queue reached up to 5 HOURS today to get into Trader Sam’s. That’s a long time to wait for some cocktails! We signed up early and waited for a little over an hour to be called inside. But the tiki bar is popular, and it’s also pretty small inside, so that combo definitely contributed to that long wait time. With these awesome Cast Members, who could blame all those people for wanting to get in here?! The virtual queue system is expected to continue after today, so if you want a chance to get in, we suggest showing up early to get your spot in line! We have a FULL review of Trader Sam’s coming to you soon, so stay tuned to DFB to see what’s changed at the iconic Polynesian bar! Click here to see a first look at the reopened Trader Sam’s!

We’ve seen quite a few refurbishments at Disney World recently! The Hall of Presidents has been closed for a bit! Rides have been getting touch-ups, hotel rooms have been getting makeovers, and paint jobs have seen updates all around the resort. But one attraction was closed for a very specific reason — a new president has been added to Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents. Though it’s still closed to the public, Disney shared a first look at the new President Joe Biden animatronic installed inside the iconic Hall of Presidents show. Each time a new president is elected into office, a matching animatronic is made that will join the other presidents on stage. Hall of Presidents Closure The President Biden animatronic is in place now and when the attraction opens back up again, he will deliver a portion of Biden’s inauguration speech towards the end of the show. Here’s a first look at what the new animatronic looks like in its place on the stage. ©Disney On the table next to him, there are some nods to the president. Peach blossoms represent his home state of Delaware and a pair of aviator sunglasses are there as well, considering he wears the style frequently. ©Disney Disney also shared that the show will reopen in August of this year. We’ll be there to check it out when it does, so stay tuned to DFB for more details and the latest news! Click Here to Learn About Another Magic Kingdom Refurbishment!

Since opening day of Magic Kingdom Park in 1971, The Hall of Presidents has brought to life the heritage of the United States and shared the symbolic importance and uniqueness of the office of the President. Almost 50 years later, the story of liberty’s leaders continues to be told and retold to new generations as Walt Disney originally envisioned. For the past few months, work has been underway to add President Joe Biden to the stage as the 46th President of the United States.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/c6oGJ4Tr7CIView the full article

Today is the official reopening of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and we’re having a blast checking everything out! We’re glad to be here! The new Moana rooms are awesome, Cast Members are handing out free POG Juice, and as a fun surprise, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto has reopened! We’re heading inside now to check it out, and we’re bringing you along. Checking In As expected, there was quite the line on reopening day! In fact, we had to put our names down on a virtual line waitlist to even get inside. This was the line to get INTO the virtual line! It took an hour and 20 minutes, but we finally got a text telling us to come back. Time to have some fun! The line is now 5 hours long. Atmosphere Oh, how we missed this place! It’s so unusual and fun in here, filled with all kinds of hidden details that you won’t notice at first glance. Welcome back! If you’ve never been inside, the decor is definitely a hodgepodge of tropical and Disney Easter eggs. It feels good to be back and to soak it all in! We could spend all day checking out the fun decorations. You could literally spend hours looking at the details! There is just so much to see! Guests were encouraged to share tables inside. There’s not a lot of space in here, so you may find yourself standing or sitting with strangers. Lots of people in here. One of our favorite things about Trader Sam’s is all the crazy antics. While we were visiting, someone called upon the tiki goddess Uh-Oa! She looks pretty scary! And our bartender started goofing off, the Cast Members in here are fantastic! The Cast Members make this place great! While waiting on our drinks, we took some time to check out all the fun nods. We spotted Orange Bird… Hey there, little buddy! …some very interesting books… A little reading, anyone? …and a plethora of interesting knick-knacks behind the bar! This place is packed with interesting artifacts. There’s never a dull moment at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto! Menu When we made it inside, we were given a paper menu. There are dozens of drinks to choose from, each more whimsical and fun than the last. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto menu! Depending on what you order, some unusual things may happen around the bar. So be careful! And some of these drinks come in pretty interesting tiki glasses. Drinking out of a Nautilus, anyone? There are so many choices! They also have a selection of less-wild beverages to choose from, along with an appetizer menu. There’s something for everyone! They also have appetizers and more simple beverages. A few changes have happened around the restaurant. For example, the family tree is no longer a family tree and the fun plastic bendy straws have been replaced by paper bendy straws. We’ll be bringing you our full review later, but for now, here’s our first look back into Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto! Stay tuned to DFB for the latest news and updates!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort officially reopened in Disney World today! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney Vacation Club rooms have been open, but now it’s ALL open again. We got a look at the new Moana-themed rooms, a brand new Dole Whip creation, and some free POG juice, baby! Safe to say the first day of the Poly being fully open has been exciting, and it’s about to get even BETTER because Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and Tiki Bar is OPEN again!!! That’s right folks, the famous interactive tiki bar is BACK! And you know we scurried on over to be one of the first people to get in! Let us in!! When we arrived, we discovered that Trader Sam’s is operating on a virtual line system. This was the line to get placed in the virtual line to get into the grotto (kind of confusing, right?). Line to get into the virtual line We gave our name to Cast Member Rosie to be placed into the virtual line. Thanks, Rosie! Then we got a text confirming our spot and reminding us that Trader Sam’s seating is first-come-first-serve or standing room. We were also told, that we would be guaranteed a spot at the bar but not a table! Hopefully, we get to go in soon! Rosie told us that the virtual line system is sticking around, it’s not just for opening day crowds! Trader Sam’s officially opens at 3PM and will be open until 12AM. We’ll be back with a look inside Trader Sam’s once we’re called to go in, so stay tuned to DFB for more. Click here to see more about the reopening of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto!

Stitch Crashes Pinocchio Plush Stitch Crashes Aladdin is on the cuter side of previous releases, and it crashed online only to sell out FAST. But good news! We knew Aladdin Stitch was coming to World of Disney on July 19th (aka today) in Disney Springs, but we didn’t know if he would also find his way to other Disney World stores. He did, and here’s where we found him! On a stroll through Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom, we stumbled upon an entire display of Stitch Crashes Aladdin! We found him in Star Traders, alongside some Stitch tumblers. Aladdin Stitch in Star Traders We found the Aladdin Stitch Plush looking cute as ever with his tiny Abu hat for $29.99… Stitch Crashes Aladdin Plush …and the limited release Stitch Crashes Aladdin MagicBand for $39.99! Stitch Crashes Aladdin MagicBand It’s important to note that we did not see the Stitch Crashes Aladdin pin in Star Traders.

Disney World is undergoing a LOT of changes as the parks get ready for the 50th anniversary this October. Magic Kingdom From store refurbishments to ride refurbishments, to hotel rethemes; there’s a lot that might look a little different next time you’re in Disney World. Now, one of the most ICONIC landmarks in all of Magic Kingdom is getting refurbished too! Anyone walking up to Cinderella Castle is greeted by the heartwarming Partners Statue, an installation of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse with the Walt quote, “We believe in our idea: a family park where parents and children could have fun – together.” Partners This iconic statue is a Magic Kingdom icon and on our visit to the park today, we noticed that there’s a new sign. It looks like the Partners Statue will see some routine maintenance ahead of the 50th! Partners Statue Refurb The sign notes that “Partners” is receiving routine care through a process of removing oxidation buildup from patinated bronze. The multi-phase endeavor involves stripping the sculpture to its bare metal “before cleaning, reapplying a patina, and coating the entire figure in protective polymer and wax.” Partners Statue Refurb For now, the statue looks much the same as it usually does save for the sign, but you can bet we’ll be keeping a close eye on it.
