We have been keeping you posted on Tropical Storm Elsa as it works its way closer to Central Flordia. Today, more and more information has been coming out about the nature of the storm and its trajectory and we shared information regarding the tornado and flood watches for the Disney World area. Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Disney World also canceled tonight’s showing of EPCOT Forever and modified Happily Ever After. Now, the storm has been upgraded to a hurricane once again. Below we have the latest developments for this storm. The Orlando Sentinel reported that Hurricane Elsa, expected to make landfall west of Orlando on the morning of Wednesday, July 7th, was recategorized as a Category 1 Hurricane after previously being downgraded to a Tropical Storm. As the storm continues to make its way up Florida’s western coast, Hurricane Elsa has reportedly sustained a wind speed of 75 miles per hour and is expected to hit west of Orlando with 90 mph winds by 2AM on Wednesday, July 7th. Hurricane Elsa’s forecast path as of 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 6, 2021. ©National Hurricane Center Following the peak on Wednesday morning, the storm should begin to die down and pose less of a threat. However, heavy rains and potential flooding will be issues for those in the Orlando area during this time. Although Orlando and Disney World are not in the direct path of the hurricane, they can expect rain and strong winds as the storm passes through Central Florida. This is an ever-changing situation and we will continue to provide you with weather updates so you know if and how the hurricane will impact your Disney World vacation.

Welcome back to Hollywood Studios everyone! Time for a great day! We like to keep you updated on new things we find on our trips to the parks, and we noticed a ton of new things the past few times we visited Hollywood Studios! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s check it out! Hollywood Studios Food Updates ABC Commissary We noticed something different at ABC Commissary the last time we stopped by — the Shrimp Curry Bowl is gone! Where’d you go, shrimp? We’re pretty bummed because it was really good! Maybe it’s just gone temporarily. *finger’s crossed* BaseLine Tap House There’s a new soda over at BaseLine Tap House! The Strawberry Hibiscus soda has replaced the Black Cherry that was here before! The drink was sweet, but not as sweet as we were expecting from the name! Look at that color! However, it’s not carbonated which is weird for a SODA. But, it was still really refreshing for the summer months and you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option at BaseLine! Get it for $4.29. Epic Eats We recently celebrated the 4th of July in Hollywood Studios and we found a super-patriotic treat over at Epic Eats. The classic funnel cake topped with strawberries got a makeover! A super fun funnel cake! The ice cream was blue, but it was still the normal vanilla they usually use for the treat! The red, white, and blue sprinkles were a nice touch! It was $8.49 and was only available for a limited time! Click here to read our review of the funnel cake! Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates Once Upon a Time We were browsing through the gift shop when we found this brand new Loungefly mini backpack covered in Minnie Ears! How cool! Not only that but the backpack is actually designed to hold your Minnie Ears! There’s a designated pocket for them and everything. If you need somewhere to store your ears, grab the bag for $75. Click here to read more about the Minnie Ears backpack! Also in Once Upon A Time was this new Drifit Mickey shirt for $90. Simple, but still fun! Put it to good use now that more putt-putt courses are open in Disney World! Celebrity 5 & 10 We found this adorable Mickey Disney Tails Shirt in the Celebrity 5 & 10 for $24.99. This will bring you one step closer to building an entire Disney wardrobe for your dog! Oh boy! We also saw this D23 display in the 5 & 10 displaying the fan club pins. Some pretty cool pins in there! You can get them by becoming a member of D23, Disney’s official fan club! Keystone Clothiers We found even more pins over in Keystone Clothiers! Like this Indiana Jones pin for $12.99. *Indy theme song starts playing* There were also several FiGPiN Marvel pins, like this one of Black Widow which is getting us so hype for her new movie! Girl power! We also saw the Red Guardian… Red Guardian …Taskmaster… Hmm looks pretty evil …the Hulk… HULK SMASH …Venom… Chill, dude …And venomized Spider-Man! We like regular Spidey better! All of these pins were on sale for $15.99 each. The Darkroom And wrapping up all of the new pins we found, there were these limited edition First Order pins in the Darkroom. First Order Pin The second pin features Kylo Ren. Kylo? Add them to your collection for $19.99! Hollywood Studios Other Updates Walt Disney Presents There’s a new exhibit in Walt Disney Presents and it features that evil fashionista Cruella! This new collection replaced the Mulan exhibit. Hide the puppies! One of Cruella’s iconic outfits was on display from her recent live-action movie! How gorgeous is this? We want this outfit! Marvelous, darling! 4th of July And finally, we just wanted to share some 4th of July fun with you all, like this cute PhotoPass sign featuring Pluto! Patriotic Pluto! There were a decent amount of people at the park for the holiday… Bit of crowds! …But we saw some AWESOME patriotic outfits! Look at how amazing this family looks in their matching shirts! So cute! That’s all we have for you from Hollywood Studios! We’re in the parks ALL the time, so we’ll be sure to update you as soon as we see new things! Stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates.

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT! EPCOT Entrance And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! EPCOT Food Update Italy Pavilion While we’ve seen Pizza al Taglio closed recently in the Italy Pavilion, we’ve got some great news for all you pizza fans out there! The to-go window was opened when we visited last… Pizza al Taglio …with traditional pizza flavors, as well as wine, beer, cocktails, and other cold beverages that are perfect with a hot slice or two! Pizza al Taglio Menu Japan Pavilion While the Sparkly Dragon had been hanging around the Japan Pavilion for a prolonged time, EPCOT’S Garden House FINALLY added something new to the Outdoor Sake Bar’s menu. The Blue Samurai cocktail is now the new star with Shochu, Monin Blue Curaçao Syrup, Calpico, and Lime Juice that make up its stunning bright blue color! Blue Samurai And, let us just say that this cocktail is DANGEROUSLY good! The flavors were sweet and refreshing, making it more like a treat rather than a boozy drink. A Sweet Treat And, we definitely recommend trying it for yourself since it’s only $9 (a steal for an incredible summer drink)! Read our full review of the Blue Samurai here! EPCOT Entertainment Update Entrance It’s been a VERY long time since we have seen a new EPCOT map (like the beginning of the Flower and Garden Festival). But, EPCOT has finally debuted a brand new map with additional features you’re going to want to see! New EPCOT Map Along with the brand new cover, you can find details about EPCOT’s festivals, COVID-19 health and safety measures, My Disney Experience, and park tips. Tips & Info On the actual map, you can find the opening date of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (October 1st) now listed, instead of the previous 2021 note… Can’t wait to visit Remy! …as well as the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Play! Pavilion areas that are under construction. Get ready to meet the Guardians! The park breakdown lists that Club Cool and the Creations shop as both returning THIS summer with their locations on the map (we can hardly wait!!)… Coming soon!! …while Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360 was removed altogether as the show recently closed with no updates about what will replace the film. Poor Canada! There will most likely be a few map changes over the coming months with the debut of Disney World’s 59th anniversary! Check out all the updates on the new EPCOT map here! France Pavilion Speaking of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, we spotted a very special character appearance outside of the attraction’s entrance in the France Pavilion! Hmm, Who’s That? Remy sat on a serving tray, ready to tell us about all the awesome recipes he’s learned to make in Gusteau’s kitchen! It’s REMY! Will you be making us some ratatouille? Or, maybe a brand new dish that will wow us, Little Chef? What Are You Cooking Up for Us, Little Chef? EPCOT Forever When we were checking out everything My Disney Experience has to offer earlier, we noticed that there was no listed showtime for EPCOT Forever. In order to check if the show had been canceled for the evening, we reached out to a Cast Member to learn that EPCOT Forever would not be taking place on July 6th due to the inclement weather conditions from Tropical Storm Elsa. ©Disney Since Disney World works hard to keep everyone safe, sometimes fireworks and rides can be impacted due to weather concerns, especially during hurricane season. Find out the details of EPCOT Forever’s closure for the night here! You can find out more details about how to survive the wildest weather in the parks in our DFB video down below! Well, that’s all for this What’s New at EPCOT! We’ll catch you next time for more updates.

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom! Let’s Go to Magic Kingdom! This week we got to see more construction progress on a fan-favorite attraction and we found TONS of new merchandise that lets you sport your favorite rides, characters, and more! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in! Magic Kingdom Construction Update Jungle Cruise Jungle Cruise has been receiving some BIG updates since early this year with a brand new backstory that has brought more characters and scenes to the attraction. A little while ago we noticed that the head salesman, Trader Sam, had been removed from the ride to make way for his next big thing — a Gift Shop — and now, it’s open for business! Trader Sam’s Gift Shop Trader Sam isn’t doing a great job at manning his business (he’s MIA right now), but you can check out all of his knick-knacks as you float by at the end of your journey (because every good Disney ride ends in a gift shop, right?). If you look close you can spot socks, instruments, and remnants of boats… Lots of stuff here …and it looks like Trader Sam might be trying his hand at Disney’s PhotoPass system because there’s a sign for photos with an arrow! Photo? This new scene joins many others that have already made their way to the attraction. And, we may be close to seeing the completion of the new story as Disney previously shared that the updates would be done by the end of summer. Click HERE For MORE Details on the Jungle Cruise Update! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Update The Emporium It wouldn’t be a trip to Magic Kingdom without some shopping, and WOW did we find a lot of new items! We first stopped into the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., and found a new brightly colored Tie Dye Headband for $13.99. New Tie Dye Headbands It’s got almost every color on the spectrum and you can even spot some hidden Mickey’s in the pattern! Look at the details! And, if you claim Haunted Mansion as your favorite ride (or among your favorite rides) then we have a treat for you! We found TWO new Haunted Mansion Ears including the Madame Leota Minnie Ears that feature the purple wallpaper from the ride on the ears and the ghostly image of Madame Leota floating front and center on the bow. They cost $34.99. Madame Leota Ears! Plus, we also found new Gargoyle Mickey Ears that have tons of characters and mementos from the attraction like the hitchhiking ghosts, Madame Leota, Constance Hatchaway, and more! Gargoyle Ears! They’re a bit cheaper and cost $29.99. Click HERE for a Closer Look at the NEW Haunted Mansion Ears!

Check Out a Closer Look at the NEW Slinky Dog Ears HERE! And, if you’ve hopped on the Disney nuiMOs trend, then you probably know that it’s time for a wardrobe change! Disney releases new outfits for the posable plushes every month and July is all about the Olympics and back to school! Your plushes can gear up to challenge Tiger Woods in TWO new golf outfits including one that has pants… Men’s golf outfit! …and one with a skirt. That plaid is super cute! Or, your nuiMOs can hit the pool with a new Olympic swimmer outfit that comes with goggles and a swim cap. Time to get swimming! And, it may be 90 degrees in Florida, but Disney is already thinking about what your nuiMOs might need for the fall with new University Trends outfits. So, now you can pick up stylish ensembles like this one with a corduroy jacket… Nothing like a corduroy jacket to keep you warm! …or go all out with a fall-colored corduroy dress. ©Disney If there’s going to be a real chill in the air, your nuiMOs will be covered with a sherpa jacket and backpack… That’s sure to keep your nuiMOs warm! …or they can cover up with a hooded jacket! Your nuiMOs will be ready for the fall! All of the new outfits are $12.99 each in Disney World and you can find even more Olympic and back to school gear for your Disney nuiMOs online too!

This limited edition accessory is themed after the fan-favorite attraction that is being turned into a live-action movie at the end of the month! New Jungle Cruise movie MagicBand! On one side you can spot the two main characters — Skipper Frank (played by Dwayne Johnson) and Dr. Lily Houghton (played by Emily Blunt). The characters from the movie!

Flavors of Florida has started in Disney Springs, which means it’s time to eat ALL kinds of limited time treats! Time to Eat! We’ve had gator bites, Orange Bird as chocolate, a Key Lime donut, and more. Next on our list is Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, where there’s a special dish we think shrimp fans will love! Over at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, you’ll find a variety of delicious dishes and drinks (including EPIC chocolate-covered bacon!!). Specific to the Flavors of Florida event though is the Florida Shrimp Tacos with Watermelon Salsa! This dish is made of Jerk-spiced shrimp served in a grilled corn tortilla with watermelon pico de gallo. These tacos are very similar to (if not essentially the same as) another shrimp dish we had here back in 2019 which featured shrimp tacos with jerk marinade and Florida watermelon pico de gallo. Time to Eat! We really enjoyed the grilled corn tortilla in this dish, and the shrimp were seasoned well. They were perfectly peppery, without being hot. A Close Up of the Deliciousness The fresh combination of watermelon, red onion, avocado, and bell pepper, combined with the heat from the jalapeños was also fantastic! Great Combo of Flavors Because you get 3 tacos, this is a dish that’s easily sharable. You could split it amongst friends or family members as an appetizer, or eat it all by yourself as a small meal. Great to Share We would have liked to have a little bit of queso fresco on the top, but overall the dish was really good. If you don’t like shrimp, then this isn’t a good pick for you. But if you are a fan of shrimp tacos, we totally think you should give it a try! The watermelon is a fun addition and we think it’s something shrimp tacos fans will enjoy. Dig In! You can try these tacos for $13. The Flavors of Florida event only goes on through August 12th, so if you’d like to grab some of these limited time eats be sure to visit before then! Gotta Get There in Time to Try These! We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney news and share that with you! The green gator cocktail is a LOT to handle in Disney World — click here to see our review!

Today the Flavors of Florida event kicked off in Disney Springs! Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ During this event, you’ll find all kinds of Florida-inspired dishes and merchandise at various Disney Springs restaurants and stores. So far, we’ve had some Orange Bird in CHOCOLATE form from The Ganachery, a donut that tasted like they shoved an entire key lime pie into it, and more! Now, we’re headed to Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ for 2 dishes! As part of the Flavors of Florida event, Homecomin’ is serving up 2 special items — Tender Fried Gator Bites and a Floradora Cocktail! Yes, you read that right, fried GATOR! First, we’ll start with the gator! These fried gator bites are made out of marinated gator that is lightly seasoned and deep fried. Check Out That Fried Gator! They are served with a house-made remoulade and hot sauce. Saucy! If you’ve always wanted to try fried gator, now’s your chance! This gator was perfectly fried and not greasy at all. The batter was very similar to their fried chicken batter, but our server shared that there is some orange zest added to the gator. YUM The house made sauces were also delicious! The hot sauce had a little kick to it, but wasn’t too spicy. So Delicious! If you’re not a fan of fried, salty foods though, you may want to pass. But, if you enjoy fried chicken or you’re already a fan of fried gator, we have a feeling you will love these! You can grab them for $15. A Close-Up of the Deliciousness Next, it was time for the Floradora Cocktail. This isn’t exactly a new item though. We actually had the Floradora Cocktail at Homecomin’ back in early 2020. But, since it is listed as one of the special items for the Flavors of Florida event, we just had to grab it again. Floradora! The Floradora Cocktail is made with a mix of Fords gin, freshly muddled raspberries and freshly squeezed lime juice, house-made simple syrup, and a splash of Q Spectacular ginger beer. So Pretty The cocktail was delicious and refreshing! The lime juice and muddled raspberries really made it taste very fresh. There’s a little spice from the gin and ginger beer, which is balanced with the perfect amount of sweetness from the house made simple syrup. Very Refreshing You don’t really taste the alcohol at first, but after drinking a full one you’ll know it’s there! If you don’t like raspberries, then this is probably not the drink for you as that is the predominant flavor. But, if you’re a fan of raspberries and like gin, we think you’ll enjoy this refreshing twist on a cocktail. We Took It In a To-Go Cup! Plus, it’s very colorful and fun to snap a photo of! You can grab the Floradora Cocktail for $13. The Flavors of Florida event will be going on until August 12th, so be sure to stop by Disney Springs by then to see all of these limited-time eats. Flavors of Florida! We’ll keep an eye out for more details and updates about this event and other new things going on around Disney World. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!

If you know anything about Florida, then you’ll know there is a history between citrus fruits, like oranges, that play right into the state’s entertainment, food offerings, and more! Amorette’s And, that’s why Disney World has its own special connection with the Florida Citrus Commission, who helped bring the ever-famous Orange Bird to life in the parks. So, it’s no surprise that Disney Springs is going all out for the Flavors of Florida event with a Key lime milkshake, Key lime donut, watermelon Dole Whip, Key lime cookies, Orange Blossom Cupcake, and more! Of course, we couldn’t resist heading back for another taste of the ongoing event…but, this treat wasn’t what we expected! Amorette’s Patisserie is home to a bakery case full of treats for guests of all ages to enjoy. And, the Florida Sunset Éclair is the newest dessert on the menu with a mixture of Blood Orange Mousse, Dulce De Leche Mousse, Infused Orange Liquor, Candied Orange Zest, and Crispy Pearls on top. Florida Sunset Eclair And, while that might seem like a LOT of orange (like a lot), the citrus flavors weren’t the most prominent. As a matter of fact, the dulce de leche and caramel flavors were the boldest as they tilted the scales towards the sweet side of a pastry. Doesn’t It Look Amazing? However, when we did taste the orange, the mousse was absolutely incredible! It was fluffy a tangy kick that added to the dessert. The orange liquor did need to be poked in and spread throughout each bite. But, be warned — if you squeeze it all out at once, it’s TOO much liquor per bite! Dulce de Leche and Citrus Compared to regular éclairs that are usually filled with custard and chocolate, Amorette’s citrus version was a welcome twist that was great for the summertime! Still, if you aren’t a fan of dulce de leche or caramel (or even citrus in general for that matter), you might want to skip the Florida Sunset Éclair for one of the other MANY treats in the bakery case! Will You Be Heading to Disney Springs Soon? You can take home the Florida Sunset Éclair for $10. And, then be sure to hop around the rest of Disney Springs to see more Flavors of Florida eats and drinks available at 30 spots around the shopping and dining district! And, you can stay tuned with All Ears for the latest Disney entertainment and news coming soon! Would you pay $18 for a cake-topped milkshake?

Just a few nights ago, fireworks returned to Disney World at both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. Time to Visit EPCOT But weather concerns can impact fireworks shows at Disney World. Today, a flood watch was announced for the Disney World area and a Tornado Watch was also issued for part of Disney World, ahead of Tropical Storm Elsa. Now it looks like the weather concerns in Disney World are impacting some of the fireworks shows. Just a few moments ago, we were looking at the My Disney Experience app and went to look at today’s showtimes. When we were there, we noticed that Happily Ever After has a listed showtime for tonight at 9:15, but there was no listed showtime for EPCOT Forever. Instead, Disney merely had a mention of the new show coming to Magic Kingdom on the 50th Anniversary, Disney Enchantment. ©Disney When we searched for “fireworks” in the app, we found that Happily Ever After once again displays a showtime for tonight, but EPCOT Forever does not. ©Disney So, we reached out to Disney via chat and a Cast Member did confirm that due to the weather, EPCOT Forever will not be taking place tonight (July 6th). Fireworks have returned to EPCOT This is an important thing to keep in mind if you’ll be in the parks today or even any day during this upcoming hurricane season.

Bright suns! We’re back at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge for some new eats! Galaxy’s Edge Earlier today, we learned that Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo unveiled new menu items, so we hopped over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to try them out for ourselves! Since it first opened in 2019, Docking Bay 7 has been known for unique, “out of this world” dishes, and this new lineup of entrees (plus one dessert) lived up to that reputation! But are these items worth ordering on your next visit? Let’s dive right in! Check out the new spread at Docking Bay 7! First up is the Batuuan Beef and Crispy Topato Stir-fry. This dish is Smoky Braised Beef glazed in Tamarind Sauce and served with Stir-fried Vegetables, Crispy Herbed Yucca, Pickled Onions, and Cilantro. Batuuan Beef and Crispy Topato Stir-fry The Herbed Yucca were nice and crunchy, but the other veggies weren’t as memorable. Batuuan Beef and Crispy Topato Stir-fry We think the Batuuan Beef may pair better with other sides from Docking Bay 7…and we put that theory to the test! But don’t worry, some of the classic favorites are still available as well, like the Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yip. We’ll be on the lookout for more new menu items at Disney World, so stay tuned for the latest news and updates! Click here to read about a new FOOD EVENT taking place this summer at Disney Springs!

Thinking of heading to the 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? Not even sure where to start planning? EPCOT We’ve got you covered! So far, we’ve shared a look at the booths that are confirmed to be at this year’s festival, the entertainment coming to the festival, and more. But, now we’re going to break it all down for you in one place, and give you some of our top tips to conquer the festival! Dates First thing’s first, you need to know when the Food & Wine Festival will be taking place. The 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be taking place from July 15th through November 20th, 2021. The Alps Food and Wine Booth That’s a pretty long stretch of time! Should you go at the start of the festival? Closer to the end? There are a variety of reasons why you might pick one over the other (especially due to the opening date of some booths — more on that in a second). Click here to see our thoughts on when you should book a trip to the Food & Wine Festival. Food and Drinks Next, let’s dive into one of the most IMPORTANT things at this festival — the food and drinks! So far, Disney has already released the complete list of ALL of the food booths that will be available at this year’s festival. The list includes things like The Alps, Australia, The Donut Box, and more! We’ve already started to see some of the booths pop up in EPCOT. Keep in mind that you’ll find booths for this festival around World Showcase, inside of the World Showplace building (between the United Kingdom and Canada), and in Future World too. Jardin de Fiestas Included in the list of booths for this year are a few returning booths. But, some booths from the past won’t be coming back. Click here to see what you need to know about these returning booths. The list also includes 8 new booths that will be joining the festival this year! There will be a new Kenya booth, a booth aimed at giving guests a taste of New England with lobster creations, and even a booth dedicated to noodles and another one dedicated to Mac & Cheese! Not all of these new booths will open on the first day of the festival though! Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese with Alpine Ham, Baby Potatoes, Cornichons and Baguette In fact, Disney has announced that 9 of the booths at this year’s festival (some of which are returning booths, and some of which are new booths) won’t open until October 1st. The list of booths that won’t open until October 1st includes The Alps, Brazil, the new Mac & Eats booth, and more. If visiting one of these booths is important to you, then you’ll want to take a close look at your plans. If you were thinking of visiting EPCOT during August or September, you may want to delay that trip so you can sample items from the booths that won’t open until later. Samurai Sencha Ale Just remember that October 1st marks the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. Park Passes have already started to fill up around that time and there will be LOTS of new things drawing people to the parks, and to EPCOT specifically. On October 1st, EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious, will debut. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris will also open. It’s going to be a BUSY day. If you want to try something from the booths that won’t open until October 1st, but you don’t want to get stuck in the crowds, you may want to wait until a bit later in October or even November to go. Click here to see the full list of booths that won’t open until October 1st. Okay so we’ve talked about the booths, but what food items will be served specifically at those booths? Disney hasn’t shared all the details yet but we’re on the lookout! Be sure to check this page in the future, as we’ll be posting full menu details there when they’re released! Roasted Lamb Chop from Festival Favorites We have, however, gotten a list of the items that will be at the Joffrey’s Coffee locations in EPCOT for the festival. And we’ve gotten a list of the items that will be on the cheese crawl that is part of the festival. The cheese crawl’s official name is Emile’s Fromage Montage! If you get all 5 cheesy dishes that are listed for the crawl, you can get a special prize at the end. We take our cheese crawling VERY seriously! You may look at the number of booths that will be available at the festival this year (it’s a LOT) and wonder how you can get it all done. Well, we can help! In our DFB Guide to the Food & Wine Festival, we’ve got a TON of tips all about how to conquer the festival. In the Guide, we break down the full list of booths, we share our tips from previous festivals, we share information you should know about the festival, AND we even have festival strategy plans for you! Chicken and Waffle That’s right, we’ve done the planning for you! We’ve got a 1-day strategy, a 2-day strategy, a budget strategy, and even special “crawls” designed for specific food types (like a seafood crawl, chocolate-lovers crawl, and more)! CLICK HERE TO BUY THE 2021 FOOD AND WINE GUIDE. USE CODE CHEFS TO GET 20% OFF! Entertainment The Food & Wine Festival is about so much more than just the food and wine though. There’s also lots of entertainment to enjoy. This year, you’ll get to catch many of the same acts we’ve seen during recent festivals, including performances from Mariachi Cobre, the Jammin Chefs, and the Voices of Liberty. Voices of Liberty Typically, during the Food & Wine Festival there is a concert series called “Eat to the Beat” which brings popular bands from recent decades to the stage in the America Gardens Theatre. This year, however, it appears those Eat to the Beat concerts will not be taking place. Instead, a different series of live concerts called The America Gardens Bandstand will be performing. The live concert series will happen Friday through Monday nights featuring local bands from Central Florida, which is very similar to what was announced for the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. Click here to see the new concert experience that came to the Flower & Garden Festival this year. Activities If you’re looking for activities to do (outside of eating and drinking or checking out the cool entertainment), then you’ll want to look into the Remy-themed scavenger hunt that will be returning to the festival this year! Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak is a great activity for adults and kids to participate in. To participate (and win a PRIZE) you’ll want to buy the map and stickers from select Festival merchandise locations. Let’s Go Get Our Map! Then, you’ll go hunting around World Showcase for various statues of Remy with certain food items. You’ll mark those on your map and bring it back to participating locations later in the day. Then, it’s time to choose your prize! Remy’s Hide and Squeak Challenge prize water bottles This activity can be especially great for little kiddos who might not be as excited about trying all of the unique food and drinks as you are. It’ll help keep them entertained and motivated to make their way around the park. Click here to see more about this activity! Merchandise Of course, we can’t forget about the merchandise! During each festival, there are typically all kinds of themed merchandise for fans to grab, including some Passholder exclusive items. So far we’ve seen a first look at the 2021 Food & Wine Festival merchandise, which includes a Be Our Guest collection, a Remy Shake Things Up Collection, and more. ©Disney If you love Corkcicle cups, then you’ll totally want to check out the exclusive Shimmering Sips Corkcicle that will be available at select Festival locations this year. ©Disney We still don’t have a price for this new offering, but we’ll be on the lookout for more details! Click here to get a first look at the Festival merchandise! Special Events & Celebrity Chefs One of the signature things that is typically available at the Food & Wine Festival is a series of special events. Usually, you can sign up for culinary demonstrations and beverage seminars, meet celebrity Chefs, and even check out some low-cost demonstrations. Pam Smith and Chef Warren Brown Additionally, the Party for the Senses special event is typically offered. This is a popular event that gives guests the chance to sample lots of dishes from a variety of tasting stations. In our DFB Guide to the Food & Wine Festival, we have details about all of these events which have been offered in the past so that you can learn more about each of them. This year, however, Disney has not announced any special events, seminars, demonstrations, celebrity Chef appearances, or Party for the Senses offerings for the 2021 Festival. Marathon If you’re looking to burn off a few of those calories after eating your way around the world, then you can participate in the 2021 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, which will be returning to Disney World this fall! This year’s Villians-themed Wine & DineHalf Marathon Weekend will take place from November 4th through the 7th, close to the end of the Food & Wine Festival. ©runDisney You can sign up for a variety of races including a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and 2-Course Challenge, as well as a post-race party. And there will be virtual races for those who can’t be there in person. ©runDisney Registration has opened for Club runDisney members, and it will open up for general registration access soon! We’ve got an entire section in the DFB Guide to the Food & Wine Festival about the half marathon weekend, details about the offerings, transportation, and more, so you can know just what to expect. Click here to learn more details about registration for the Wine & Dine races! Tips Alright, now that you’ve got a general breakdown of what you need to know about the Festival, it’s time for some TIPS! First tip — if you’re looking to avoid big crowds, try (if you can) to avoid visiting the Festival on the weekends or during the evenings. These are the times when the locals tend to visit EPCOT for the Festival, which can lead to long lines and large crowds. Crowds Second tip — don’t forget to grab your Festival Passport as you enter the park. These booklets are totally FREE! They contain a complete list of the menu items you’ll find at each booth. They’ve also typically got a place for you to put a sticker (or in the olden days, get a stamp) when you’ve eaten at a particular booth. AND if you’ll be completing the cheese crawl, you’ll need this booklet to keep track of what items to grab and which ones you’ve already had. 2019 Food and Wine Passport Third tip — BUDGET! Eating your way around the Festival can get extremely expensive if you don’t set a budget. You can click here to see our top tips for budgeting at the Food & Wine Festival. And if you grab our DFB Guide, you’ll actually find an entire section dedicated to budgeting for the festival, as well as a budget strategy for conquering the festival.

The Flavors of Florida event started today in Disney Springs featuring food, merchandise, and entertainment inspired by the sunshine state! Key Lime Pie Shake We’ve been going through Disney Springs trying a lot of the food items, like a Key lime donut, a Key lime shake, and a Key lime cookie and cake (can you tell which fruit Florida is pretty proud of?). There are also drinks inspired by the state at some restaurants, and we tried one today that will make your teeth ache! This is the Green Gator from House of Blues in Disney Springs! It’s made with Siesta Key toasted coconut rum mixed with melon liqueur, simple syrup, and pineapple juice. Just look at that neon color! The Green Gator This drink was INSANELY sweet! It tasted like liquid sugar. We had a hard time getting past the sweetness to even taste the actual flavors of the drink. That’s bright! Once we did, we could taste the coconut and the melon, which was strong. We noticed the flavors tasted pretty artificial, and the aftertaste of that lingered! This gator bites! We really didn’t enjoy anything about this drink. It’s sickly sweet and there wasn’t even a fun garnish! We don’t think people who like super sweet tropical cocktails would even love this, but we could be wrong! If there wasn’t alcohol in the drink, a kid might enjoy the sweetness, but it’s a lot to handle! We couldn’t finish this one! The Green Gator was just waaaay too much for us, especially for $12! You can find MUCH better cocktails like the Spiked Dole Whip in Disney Springs! We’ll be coming to you with more food reviews from Flavors of Florida soon, so stay tuned to DFB!

EPCOT has been undergoing a HUGE transformation over the past few years. Construction near Spaceship Earth There are new rides coming like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, new attractions like Journey of Water, a new flagship store replacing the old Mouse Gear, new neighborhoods being created, and so much more! The transformation does not have an official end date and it feels like there’s been construction walls up in EPCOT forever (like a long time, not like the fireworks show!). But, today we found something NEW that’s getting us excited for the future of the park! There’s a new EPCOT map in town! New EPCOT Map Cover Here’s a look at the previous map: Consult your map! The EPCOT map got an update with a new cover, and a few other changes like information on the back about festivals, COVID-19, and My Disney Experience. Map unfolded You can also find this tips and information page, as well as information on the EPCOT Experience. Tips & Info On the inside, you’ll find the map of EPCOT. Take a gander at EPCOT Notice that the opening date of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (October 1st) is now on the map. It previously just said 2021. Can’t wait to visit Remy! This has been on the map, but just as a note: In the bottom left of the map, you can see where Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be located and the Play! Pavilion — both are currently under construction. Get ready to meet the Guardians! To the right of the map, you’ll find an organized list of absolutely everything in the park. There’s a LOT to do in EPCOT! There are some new additions to the Future World East section! Club Cool and the Creations shop are now both listed as opening THIS summer and their locations are marked on the map! Read all about the NEW Club Cool location here! Coming soon!! But, we did notice something missing — Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360 is no longer listed under Attractions in the World Showcase. The show recently closed and we do not know what Disney’s plans are for the attraction yet. Most likely, the space will be used temporarily for Food and Wine and then will be back to business as usual. But we will let you know if anything changes. Poor Canada! Hopefully, we should see some more updates to the map coming soon as EPCOT continues to make progress on its big makeover! We’ll keep you updated with any changes we see, so stay tuned to DFB!

Flavors of Florida kicked off today in Disney Springs and brought with it some awesome summertime eats! Flavors of Florida We tried a crazy Key lime milkshake AND a Key lime donut! Some of the offerings that came out before the festival began have been fun too, like the watermelon dole whip or Key lime cookies (Florida loves its Key limes!). We’ve been working our way around Disney Springs trying to taste all the food we can, and we just found a cupcake that brings those Florida flavors to life! This is the Orange Blossom Cupcake from Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC in Disney Springs! Summertime sweets! It’s a vanilla cake with orange-flavored frosting, and it’s vegan, just like all of the desserts at Erin McKenna’s! The cake was very dense but remained moist. It had a lot of fresh orange zest in the vanilla cake, which was absolutely delicious! Orange Bird wants a bite! The icing was thick and slightly sweet with a fresh orange flavor and a cute orange blossom flower on top! Beautiful little flower! For a vegan offering, this was super good! Vegans and citrus fans should love this cupcake. But, if you’re looking for a cupcake with that rich, traditional buttercream, you might want to head to a location like Sprinkles! A look inside The cake reminds us of our cute little Orange Bird friend we see all around Disney now! There’s even an Orange Bird mural at Disney Springs that’s perfect to pose in front of during the Flavors of Florida event! Florida-themed Orange Bird Mural in Disney Springs If you want that fresh Florida taste in a cupcake, head on over to Erin Mckenna’s Bakery to pick it up for $6.25!

Annual Pass sales aren’t looking the way they used to, as Disney World has halted the program and Disneyland is in the midst of making a replacement version. ©Disney But, one park is reinstating its Annual Passholder program next week. Disneyland Paris has officially announced that Annual Pass sales will begin once again on July 15th with a few changes in place.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Elsa during the past few days to see how the storm develops and how it could impact your Disney World trip. We’re also constantly keeping an eye on the weather in general in Orlando. It can get really stormy at Disney World! Recently, we’ve taken a look at the storm’s development in general and shared about a flood watch that was issued for the Disney World area. Now, we’ve got another update about the weather situation in part of the Disney World area. According to an update from Jayme King at FOX 35 News, a Tornado Watch is now in effect until 11PM tonight (July 6th) for Polk and Osceola Counties. Disney World actually stretches across two counties in Florida — Orange County and Osceola County. So, one of the counties where part of Disney World is located now has a Tornado Watch in effect. ©FOX 35 News Of course, this situation with the weather is subject to change. If you’re at Disney World right now or headed to Disney World at any point during this hurricane season, it’s important to stay up to date on the weather, keep a close eye on the weather situation around you as you’re in the parks, and be prepared.

It’s hard to believe that Disneyland has been reopened for just a little over 2 months now! Sleeping Beauty Castle We’ve been taking you with us as we eat our way through all the reopening restaurants and snack spots, and explore all the attractions and the brand new (!!) Avengers Campus. Plus, we’ve even brought you a look at all the reopening hotels. And, if you’re a California resident you can explore it all for yourself at a discount this summer! Right now, select California residents can take advantage of Disneyland’s California Resident Ticket Offer and purchase a 3-day park hopper or 3-day one-park ticket for as little as $83 per day before September 30th, 2021! The same 3-day tickets currently cost $104 per day for general guests, so you’ll be saving quite a bit of cash if you’re heading to the parks this summer and can take advantage of the deal. Disney California Adventure Here’s a quick breakdown of the cost (and what’s included) with the ticket offer: 3-Day, 1-Park Per Day Ticket – $249 ($83 per day) 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket – $304 ($101 per day) Cars Land in Disney California Adventure The deal is only available for the summer, so tickets will expire on September 30, 2021, but you’ll be able to use them any day between now and September with NO blockout dates. So, you can head to the park on three separate weekends, three days in a row, or any other combination that works for you! Just keep in mind that you will need to secure a Park Pass Reservation before you arrive at the parks. Avengers Headquarters To qualify for the savings, you must be a California resident within ZIP codes 90000-96199 or a Northern Baja California resident within ZIP codes 21000-22999 so you’ll be required to show proof of residency (including a photo ID) before purchasing and entering the park with your initial ticket.

We’ve been keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Elsa as it continues towards Florida. Although the storm is expected to mainly focus on western Florida, there will still likely be storms and rainfall in Orlando. Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Since hurricane season has begun, we’ve compiled a list of the top tips from our readers for going to Disney World during a hurricane! We have already shared our personal tips but wanted to share a few from other guests as well. It’s important to note that if you happen to be in Disney World during a hurricane and Disney considers it unsafe for guests and Cast Members, you may be asked to shelter in place at your resort. This does not happen often as most of the time, the Disney World area just experiences a bit of rain. But it has happened and is something you want to keep in mind when planning a Disney trip during hurricane season. If you find yourself in this situation, please follow all guidelines from Disney to ensure your safety during your trip. If it is safe to be in the parks, Disney will keep them open with some attractions and restaurants still available! Here are the top tips from our readers on how to enjoy the Disney parks in extreme weather! 1. Use Plastic Zip Lock Bags! One reader said “Put your small electronics, wallet/money, and important paper work in plastic zip-lock bags. They will be waterproof and you can grab them in an emergency.” Disney plastic bag! Not a zip lock bag, though, so maybe get one that closes! This is a good tip even if you’re just visiting during the rainy season. You’ll want a way to keep important things in a waterproof bag of some sort! Bring some bags with you and be prepared to use them in the parks! And if it doesn’t rain on your trip, you may want to put your important goodies in there when you hop on water rides! See the Reusable Silicone Bags We Like to Use Here! 2. Use a Poncho One reader said it best: “Put on a poncho.” They mentioned that “everyone else runs for a dry place. Not my family, get in line and enjoy.” Rainy Day in Magic Kingdom If you’re ready for the rain, you can keep moving and enjoying the shorter wait times in the parks instead of stopping inside to wait out the rain! According to one reader, “Do not leave park, enjoy whatever rides are open short wait times. Make it an adventure!!!” Click Here to See Our Review of Disney World Ponchos! 3. Bring Extra Shoes and Socks According to one reader, “I like to keep my rain coat, flip flops, and an extra pair of shorts in my park bag. That way, if we get hit with a large storm, or even a pop up thundershower, I can take off my shoes and socks, throw on my rain coat, and keep on moving!” Cinderella Castle Another reader also recommended a change of shoes: “Switch to flip flops as soon as it starts raining. Keep your shoes and socks dry in a plastic bag. It’s not too cold for your feet because of the warm rain.” Make sure you’ve got extra socks or a towel to dry off your feet so that you don’t get blisters! Read About Another Waterproof Shoe Option — Disney Crocs! 4. Be Aware of Shelters Around You One reader advised, “Be prepared. Know where shelters are.” If it does get to be too wet or stormy for you to walk around in the parks, make sure you know where you can go to get out of the weather! Sheltering under a bridge! Inside shops, under awnings, in restaurants…keep an eye on what’s around you that would be good for pausing to wait out the storm. Also know that Cast Members are well informed and if you ever have questions or concerns, just ask! They will be able to direct you. Click Here to See a Video About Five Super Fun Rainy Day Activities in Disney World! 5. Follow the Advice of the Resort A reader reminded us, “Seriously though, follow the advice of the resort.” And they have a good point! Disney will keep you updated on changing weather and advisories. Click Here to Read About When Disney has Closed the Parks for Hurricanes Don’t get caught in a downpour! Pay attention to announcements and warnings from Disney, and follow their advice to stay safe during the storm. If a storm gets too severe to be safe, you’ll be asked to shelter in place at your resort, where Disney will be prepared with food and some entertainment! Read about the best hurricane-ready Disney World resorts here. 6. Keep an Eye on the Weather Several readers mentioned keeping an eye on the forecast on the days leading up to your stay. Weather — and storms especially — can be fickle and hard to predict, so it’s possible that the forecast will change in the days before you get to the parks. Storm Clouds One said, “Still go if the forecast is not finite. We went during Dorian a few years ago and it was the best Disney experience we ever had. Disney goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience. Hurricane paths can change so quickly – Go to Disney still! Especially after you spend months planning for your trip!” Click Here to See the Current Weather Projections, Ahead of Potential Hurricane Elsa 7. Cancel or Reschedule OK, so most readers recommended still going to Disney World, even if the forecast looks threatening. But we had a few who really recommended rescheduling for better weather! Have those ponchos ready! One reader said, “Don’t go to Florida during hurricane season… works every time!” If you’re not excited about walking in the rain or riding out bad weather, it might be best to reschedule your trip. Remember, you can reschedule for free if Orlando issues a hurricane warning within 7 days of your arrival! Read This to Learn How to Cancel Your Hotel Reservation at Disney World! If you’re heading to Disney in the next few days, make sure to keep an eye out for news about Tropical Storm Elsa! Right now, you can just expect some wind and rain.

Disney World has been adding a lot of new delicious desserts for the summer! Oh my YUM And many of those treats are from the Flavors of Florida event at Disney Springs! We’ve seen things like watermelon dole whip, key lime cookies, and an orange cream float. Today is the first day of the event, so of course, we headed over to Disney Springs to try everything we could get our hands on! If you’re looking for an over-the-top dessert, you’re going to want to see one of the items we found! This is the Key Lime Cheesecake Shake from Vivoli il Gelato! Look at this thing! It’s a cheesecake gelato blended with Key lime juice and chunks of Key lime pie, topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and a small piece of cake (casual)! That’s a pretty big piece of cake! This baby costs $18.75, so let’s see if the shake is worth its price tag! The milkshake is very tart from the Key lime juice! The caramel sauce does add a little sweetness, but we could’ve used a bit more to balance out the sour lime flavor. Key Lime Pie Shake Mixing in the whipped cream helped tone down the tartness, so we definitely recommend doing that if you don’t want the shake to be too sour! The graham crackers also added a nice texture to the drink. Whipped cream on top! The cake on top was a super light, moist vanilla cake with a Key lime layer and a cheesecake layer in between the three layers of vanilla cake. It was topped with a lime mirror glaze icing and a white chocolate lime decoration! Cake time! Let’s take a look at that cross-section! Those layers though! If you love Key lime pie, this shake is for you! But if you don’t or you’re on the fence, choose a different dessert because this is basically a liquid version of the pie. Also, if you’re not a fan of cheesecake flavor, stay away from this treat! Grab a bite! Overall, we think this is a yummy summer shake and a great representation of the iconic Florida dessert, but almost $20 for a milkshake is a little bit overwhelming! Although, you are getting a piece of cake and a milkshake, so it could be viewed as two desserts. Shake minus cake It’s worth it if you LOVE Key lime pie, but do not spend your money on this if you’re not sure you’ll like it! If you want to taste another item at Vivoli for Flavors of Florida, check out the Lemon Blueberry Cookie Sandwich. Stay tuned to DFB for more food reviews from from the event!

Looking to try something new (or some limited-time snacks) in Disney World without even having to enter a theme park?

But, right now there are 2 special treats you can get! Let’s Head Inside! First up, we’ve got the Key Lime Ganache Pop! This pop features white chocolate blended with Key lime juice and fresh lime zest covered with dark chocolate. Key Lime Pop There’s also sugar with lime juice and lime zest sprinkled on the outside. This treat was actually available during the Flavors of Florida event held in 2019. And now it’s back! YUM Of course, we had to grab one to taste it. The Key Lime Ganache was tart but not overpowering. Overall, we thought this ganache was a beautiful blend of chocolate and orange. What a Cutie! Again, if you like that mix of citrus and chocolate flavors, you might really enjoy this. A Look at the Inside You can get it for $3. If you aren’t a fan of dark chocolate or that mix of citrus and chocolate, you might want to take a look at The Ganachery’s other options.

Today is the grand kickoff of Disney Springs Flavors of Florida, taking place from July 6th through August 12th, 2021! We’re at Disney Springs trying all of the Sunshine State-inspired goodies. Disney Springs Flavors of Florida When we think of “Flavors of Florida,” one of the first things that comes to mind has got to be Key Lime Pie! We’ve already tried a variety of Key Lime-flavored treats around Disney World, including a Rice Krispies Treat and of course the new Key Lime Pie-flavored treats at Gideon’s Bakehouse. When we heard that Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew was debuting a Key Lime Pie Donut as part of the summer celebration, we knew we had to hurry on over and grab one! Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew The Key Lime Pie Donut is a Glazed Donut filled with Citrus Custard piped with Sweet Meringue and sprinkled with tendrils of Lime Zest. Key Lime Pie Donut If you’re the kind of person who would gladly enjoy a slice of Key Lime Pie every day, this donut is perfect for you! The Citrus Custard filling was super tart (perhaps TOO tart for some folks), but it mixed very well with the sweetness of the Glazed Donut. Key Lime Pie Donut The Meringue on top was perfectly constructed (seriously…look at how magnificent it looks! It almost resembles the Everest Base Camp Macaron), and it was even toasted a bit — the perfect finishing touch! The Lime Zest gave it that extra pinch of citrus flavor you’re craving. Key Lime Pie Donut You’ll definitely want to grab extra napkins with this donut — it was super messy when we bit into the donut and the filling started to pour out! You’ll see just how much filling this donut has — you’ll DEFINITELY taste the tartness! Key Lime Pie Donut If you’re looking for your typical chocolate donut, this won’t be up your alley — luckily, Everglazed has a wide menu of donuts of practically every flavor you can think of! You can grab a Key Lime Pie Donut for $6.50 as part of the Flavors of Florida event at Disney Springs this summer! Click here to learn more about Disney Springs Flavors of Florida!
