Recently, Sebastian’s Bistro reopened with a brand new dining experience! Located right by the water at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Sebastian’s Bistro is a lightly Little Mermaid-themed restaurant (makes sense — Sebastian is a Caribbean crustacean!). Sebastian’s Bistro Sebastian’s was previously a standard sit-down dining location. You order what you want and it’s brought to your table. Now though, the restaurant has shifted to a family-style, all-you-care-to-eat menu. We’ve rarely been wowed by this spot in the past (It’s perfectly fine if you’re staying at the resort. Otherwise, it typically hasn’t been worth going out of our way to visit.), but maybe the big shift in menu would change that? Atmosphere The decor inside this small restaurant is sophisticated and subtly nautical. It is very bright, airy, and surprisingly chill in here! It is a little bit small on the inside though. If you’re dead set on eating here, maybe consider snagging a reservation just in case. That said — we didn’t need one on opening day. In fact, reservations aren’t even an option until July 6th. Before that, it’s walk-ups only for this dinner meal. Sebastian’s Interior This is a surprisingly upscale-looking and relaxing spot for a nice meal. Sebastian’s Interior The interior of this spot has lots of really nice touches. It has a bit of that Yacht and Beach Club nautical vibe, but it definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously and has a lot of playfulness! Sebastian’s Interior There are plenty of nods to the restaurant’s namesake… Sebastian’s Interior …including this little guy! Sebastian!! Since ressies aren’t being used at this time, we walked right up to get a table. Check-in area And were texted that we’d be notified when our table was ready, which was just moments later. Table is ready! Time to see what’s on the menu! Eats A QR code is provided at your table to scan with your phone to view the menu. QR Code Taking a look at the menu, it’s clear that a LOT has changed from our last visit! Now, everyone gets the same appetizer, entree, and dessert at a flat rate of $29 per adult and $17 per child. Eating plant-based? They got you covered too with a similar but modified menu. A number of family-style meals we’ve seen recently, like Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, have offered an “Enhancement” for an additional fee. Thats just a fancy way to say “extra slightly nicer quality food not included that you need to pay for if you want it.” Here, you can snag Coconut Shrimp for $8. Menu Despite the limited food selection, there were still plenty of drinks and cocktails to choose from. Specialty Cocktails © Disney There is a whole menu of rums including a rum flight (Jack Sparrow would be proud. It IS the Caribbean, love!). You can craft your own Old Fashioned, selecting a rum, bitters, and a syrup too! © Disney There are a number of beers, ciders, and a seltzer on the menu… © Disney …as well as a selection of wines. © Disney To start, we ordered a Marooned Pig Old Fashioned for $13. It’s made with Buffalo Trace Kentucky Bourbon, Bacon-infused Pure Maple Syrup, Angostura Bitters, and a nice little piece of Bacon! This was soooooo good, but you’ve gotta be a fan of maple, bacon, and –obviously — Bourbon! The maple syrup gave the drink a nice smokey sweetness, the bourbon was smooth, and the bacon was so much fun! The maple flavor is strong and really sweet! Old Fashioned Before our meal, our bread service arrived! The House-Made Pull-Apart Rolls with Caramelized Onion Jam and Guava Butter was delicious! The bread was fluffy and warm while the condiments were so flavorful! Bread The guava butter had a hint of sweetness but not overwhelming (butter fans shouldn’t be turned off by the guava) while the onion jam was savory and addictively good! We even asked for seconds (which they gladly gave us!). Yum yum onion jam! For our appetizer, we were brought the Spice Necklace Salad with Mixed Greens, Kale, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, Grilled Pineapple, Oranges, Spiced Candied Walnuts, Radish, and Key Lime Dressing. Remember, everything is plated family-style, meaning you’ll serve yourself on your own plate. The portion is scaled accordingly depending on your party size and you can ask for seconds of whatever you like. Aside from our one lone radish slice, everything was served in large, generous amounts! The fruit was fresh and juicy and added an interesting texture to the whole dish. There were lots of components to keep each bite interesting. The key lime dressing was creamy but not thick and brought the whole salad together with a strong citrus flavor! Next is the main attraction: the Taste of the Caribbean Platter with Oven Roasted Citrus Chicken, Slow Cooked Mojo Pork with Mango Sambal, and Grilled Flank Steak with Mojito Relish. It’s served with Cilantro Rice and Beans, Vegetable Curry, and Grilled Broccolini. The Taste of the Caribbean Platter! The flank steak was cooked at medium (we weren’t asked about temperature) and it was delicious, especially with the mojito relish. Cucumbers and steak paired surprisingly well! Steak The pulled pork had a deep peppery flavor that we loved! It had that rich flavor. The meat was still quite juicy too without being overly fatty. It’s served with a Mango Sambal that complimented it nicely with a little sweet and a little heat. TBH, the pork had enough flavor to it that we didn’t find it needed the Sambal! Pork The chicken was a super flavorful mix of dark and light meat, but there wasn’t much noticeable citrus flavor. Despite not having that strong of a citrus flavor, the still-crisp skin, subtle fattiness, and seasoning made this chicken pretty tasty. Chicken often feels like an afterthought on plates like this, but this one stands on its own. Chicken The sides of Cilantro Rice and Beans, Vegetable Curry, and Grilled Broccolini, however, were just okay. The rice and beans were pretty good but also pretty standard. This was probably our favorite side due to its simplicity. The meats have a lot of flavors going on so something simple on the side was welcome. The broccolini, on the other hand, was lukewarm and largely forgettable. It’s a green veggie though, so it checks a box. The curry wasn’t particularly spicy, but had been stewed for a while, leaving the veggies overdone and mushy. Not bad but not our favorite. Sides Overall, the sides weren’t bad! Just not as good as the main dishes. For an extra $8, we added on that “Enhancement” Fried Coconut Shrimp with Creamy Chipotle Dipping Sauce! This was one of the best things we had all night! Coconut Shrimp The shrimp were so crisp and just a hint of nutty sweet. The shrimp were butterflied and went so well with the dipping sauce! Coconut Shrimp often are served with a sugary jam-like sauce, but this was creamy with some zip! We received 6 shrimp on our plate along with a lemon half for squeezing. This was definitely the star of the show at this dinner (aside from dessert — more on that in a sec!) and a total steal at only $8! Coconut Shrimp We also ordered up the Plant-Based Taste of the Caribbean Platter to show you what our non-meat-eating friends can enjoy! It’s served with an Impossible Kabob, Fried Jerk Tofu, and Impossible Sausage served with Cilantro Rice and Red Beans, Vegetable Curry, and Grilled Broccolini (AKA the same sides as the standard menu). Plant-based Menu The Jerk tofu was very peppery and had a great flavor. We thought the sausages were great. These were probably our favorite part of the plate. The kabobs were also good but the tofu and sausages were even better. It was served with that same mojito relish as the steak, which tasted great. Last but not least… dessert! You know we love a good bread pudding and this didn’t disappoint! House-made Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream! This was hands down the best thing on the menu! The warm caramel sauce (which you pour yourself) and the vanilla ice cream brought this lightly-fruity bread pudding to a new level! YUM. They serve something similar at the Banana Cabana but it doesn’t have the pour-on sauce. This was so delicious, we could eat a whole pan of this! Bread Pudding The pineapple and coconut flavors are a bit more forward here than our beloved ‘Ohana bread pudding, but that’s A-OK! There’s room for more than one awesome bread pudding in Disney World. We’re equal opportunity bread pudding fans. A LOT of food later, we were ready to call it a night. Nosh or Not Stop by Sebastian’s Bistro if… You’re staying at Caribbean Beach Resort and looking for a convenient sit-down meal. You’re wanting to try a few different dishes for a good price! The flat rate makes this an easy way to explore Caribbean cuisine and the prices here are REALLY nice compared to elsewhere on property. You’re unable to score a reservation elsewhere. Like we said, this spot isn’t incredibly popular and you can usually get in last minute. Steer clear if… You don’t like Caribbean cooking! There is a lot of Caribbean and Latin influence here! It’s not overly spicy, but it’s definitely unique compared to standard theme park burgers and hot dogs. You were thinking it would be more seafood offerings (Sebastian being the namesake and the nautical touches definitely lead you to believe there are more aquatic options aside from the shrimp!). Maybe since Sebastian’s friends are fish, that’s why they steer clear? You’re dining with a bunch of picky eaters, this might be tricky since this spot offers a limited and unique cuisine. Overall This is a VERY different experience at Sebastian’s Bistro than we’ve had prior though it’s not that unique in all of Disney World right now since so many more spots are dishing up family-style meals than ever before. The food is still decent here. Is it the best meal you’ll have all trip? Probably not, but it won’t likely be the worst. We happen to love Caribbean flavors and the food here dances a fine line between trying to pull off authentic Caribbean and Latin flavors (often heavily spiced and, at times, food that should be quite spicy) and approachable foods most guests will want to eat. They tend to lean a little more towards the latter. The meats all had something unique to their flavoring but were still fairly commonplace. The sides were meant to be approachable and they are (well, maybe not that curry. That might be a hard sell for some guests!). And the bread pudding was just a total :chef’s kiss:. Should the “enhancement” shrimp we happened to love be included with the meal since, you know, this place IS putting off major “seafood is served here” vibes? Probably. It’s hard to ignore what we think is a huge selling point of this new meal here — the price. Considering the previous menu at Sebastian’s featured a Taste of the Caribbean entree very similar to what we had for our main course for $32 yet this WHOLE meal was only $29, that’s a deal. Most entrees alone at Sebastian’s prior would cost you about the same as this whole three-course meal. You can get a LOT of food for a pretty low price. Even compared to other family-style meals, it’s one of the best price points around. Tusker House will run you almost double for dinner (though you do get characters) and the comparable Cape May Cafe has a slightly bigger variety of foods served but is still pricier at $42 per person. If you’re looking to stretch your dining budget, this out-of-the-way spot (well, not too bad if you’re on the Skyliner, at least) may be a solid choice. Sebastian’s Bistro probably isn’t going to make our “must-do” list of restaurants in Disney World anytime soon, but this new family-style menu is definitely a step in the right direction.

Disney World is no stranger to severe weather in the summer. Don’t get caught in a downpour! There are regular thunderstorms and very high temperatures to be aware of, and summer is also hurricane season. Hurricanes rarely make landfall in Orlando, but when they do, Disney World has shut down the parks a handful of times in the past. We’ve been keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Elsa, and we have an update you need to be aware of if you’re heading to Disney World in the next week. Elsa has strengthened into a hurricane, making it the first hurricane of the season. ©National Hurricane Center According to the Orlando Sentinel, the National Hurricane Center said Elsa strengthened into a hurricane during its 8AM update Friday morning. Its five-day projection does still include a projected landfall in Florida on Tuesday morning with the eye passing over Central Florida by early Wednesday. Hurricane Day in Disney Currently, Elsa is a Category 1 hurricane. Its maximum sustained winds are around 75 miles per hour with higher gusts, and it’s moving up through the Caribbean at about 28 miles per hour. ©National Hurricane Center Elsa is expected to pick up speed over the next 24 to 36 hours but is also expected to slow down after making landfall in the Caribbean. Central Florida is in the storm’s cone of uncertainty right now, however, the storm’s path could change over the next few days. The NHC said discrepancies in the track have made meteorologist’s confidence in the projection “lower than usual.” Hurricane Day in Disney World If the hurricane does still look like it’s on track to move over Central Florida in the coming days, Disney World will prepare accordingly. The resort has experience with hurricanes and is well equipped to ride out a storm. Mickey Hurricane In the past, Disney has made sure all resort guests have enough supplies and will tell you to stay in your room while the hurricane is hitting. Remember, this will depend on the strength and size of the hurricane. If the parks do choose to close, resorts will usually set up special activities in the lobby like movie showings or even bringing in Disney characters! Contemporary Resort in Disney World after Hurricane Irma In the event of a high category hurricane, the parks usually only shut down for a day or two and Disney does have a policy for refunding guests. As of right now though, this hurricane is projected as category 1. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Elsa as the storm rages on, so stay tuned to DFB for updates!

The latest step in the journey to theme park normalcy is neither small nor subtle. Two fireworks shows — with pop, sizzle and showmanship — return to Walt Disney World. View the full article

It’s been over a year since we’ve seen fireworks at Disney World, but that is all changing TODAY! Happily Ever After is BACK! That’s right — fireworks at BACK in Disney World and we. are. here. for. it! We already brought you the first look at the return of Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, and now we’re over at EPCOT to check out EPCOT Forever! First up, let’s talk about the crowd situation. It’s no secret that fireworks tend to draw people to the parks, so we decided to claim our spot a bit early for the first fireworks show in EPCOT since early 2020. And, we’re glad we did because the crowds were READY around World Showcase Lagoon. A Peek at the Crowds As a reminder, masks are now optional for all guests when outdoors at the parks (and fully vaccinated guests no longer have to wear them in most indoor locations). So, we noticed that many people decided to forego the mask to take in the fireworks show. Crowds in EPCOT And, when the clock struck 10PM it was showtime! The lights dimmed around World Showcase Lagoon and the fireworks were off! YAY! It’s been SO long since we’ve seen this show, and we couldn’t be more excited! The sky was full of color! Full of color! One thing to note is that the construction on Harmonious (the new upcoming EPCOT nighttime show) has caused a few changes to the show, including the elimination of the trademark kites. Kites are now missing from EPCOT Forever Harmonious is set to debut on October 1st, along with the 50th anniversary celebrations. And, in the meantime, we are a-okay with ANY fireworks shows at EPCOT! Check Out More Things That Have Returned to Normal in Disney World HERE!

For now, let’s take a look at the crowd levels in Magic Kingdom. As we made our way into the park, things weren’t too bad at first. You could see many of them sitting down, reserving their spot ahead of the big event. Get That Spot Early The crowds got more dense the closer you got to Cinderella Castle. Check Out the Crowds! And as the time for the fireworks drew nearer, the crowds got larger. WOW Here’s a peek at that crowd. This is the view toward Main Street, U.S.A.

It’s almost the Fourth of July, which means we’re seeing lots of red, white, and blue treats and merch in Disney World! 4th of July Mickey and Minnie Today we tried a brand new treat and if you’re visiting Disney World for the Fourth of July, you might want to plan a stop for this! We’ve tried a Fourth of July Cupcake and the Peanut Butter Pie, and today we were looking for different kind of patriotic treat. We decided to pay a visit to Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, known for their ginormous ice cream sundaes, where we learned about a brand new item (so new it’s not even on the menu yet!) and we were not disappointed by their limited, star-spangled Apple Pie A La Mode! Let’s dive into it. Beaches and Cream The Apple Pie A La Mode is $9, and you get an apple pie served with a BIG scoop of Edy’s vanilla ice cream and topped with red and blue caramel sauce, whipped cream, and red, white, and blue sprinkles with star shapes mixed with regular sprinkles. Check out this beauty! American as apple pie! The apple pie is served slightly warm, so you don’t have to worry about your ice cream turning into soup too quickly, and we loved the red-white-and-blue theme with the caramel sauce and sprinkles. The Apple Pie A La Mode is not currently listed on the menu, but we were told it should be around for about a week, so if you want to try it don’t wait! Flaky apple pie with ice cream Just look at that flaky pie crust! If your favorite kind of sweet treat is anything but chocolate or maybe if you’re more of a Team Pie kind of person, this might be perfect for you. If you love apple pie in particular, this is totally for you. Take a bite! While were told that this particular Apple Pie A La Mode is limited, the bakery is now able to make pies, so we could see this stick around with different toppings! You can find this version of Apple Pie A La Mode for $9 at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop between the Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts for about a week.

YeSake in Disney Springs is proof that the best things often come in small packages! This little kiosk serves great customizable Poke bowls, Asian street food treats, boba, and sake! Besides that…interesting peppermint drink, this spot has consistently offered some amazing eats! YeSake One of the highlights at this Disney Springs kiosk has been the yummy boba, a popular tea drink with tapioca pearls that has become a phenomenon in past few years! Just in time for summer, YeSake unveiled a new sweet treat to beat the heat! The Watermelon Boba Slushie features a blended Watermelon Slushie (kinda like a fresher version of an ICEE!) and Tapioca Boba Pearls! This was a refreshing and sweet treat, perfect for anyone who needs relief from the hot Florida sun! Watermelon Boba! The boba pearls added a nice chew to the drink, but this one is definitely for the boba lovers! Be careful if you want to share this one with your kids — they will probably love the taste of the watermelon slush, but the boba can be a choking hazard if not chewed properly! Yum! If you’re looking to try this new drink, act quick! This drink is seasonal and will likely only be around for the summertime! If you miss it, there are still plenty of great drinks like the Popping Strawberry-Banana Slushie and the Popping Yuzu Lemonade! You can grab it now for $8. Seasonal Menu at YeSake YeSake is a great kiosk if you’re looking for great flavors and quick bites! Its convenient location in Disney Springs makes it a good place to grab a snack in a pinch. Plus, the drinks are an excellent way to cool down and enjoy something new! We’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney treats, so stay tuned for more Disney news!

The 4th of July is almost here, folks! So, it’s time to get ahold of everything red, white, and blue that you can! If America were snacks! We’ve seen a lot of delicious treats for the 4th already around the Disney Parks, like an amazinggg Star-Spangled Sundae and some classic treats that got a patriotic makeover! Over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we stumbled upon a NEW Independence Day treat and you have to see how fun it is! This is the 4th of July Cupcake from Capt. Cook’s! We’ll take 1…or 5! It’s a Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Mousse & Cocoa Nib Filling, Buttercream, and a Cake Pop Truffle! Just LOOK at those bright colors! Isn’t it exciting?! The chocolate swoosh on top was super cool, it kind of reminded us of a surf board, which is perfect for the Poly! Surfboard or chocolate? And that chocolate Mickey covered in glitter? Come on — does it get more patriotic than that?! Just gorg There’s definitely a lot going on, but we think it all works well! The chocolate cupcake and mousse filling was moist and rich and there were little chocolate crispy peals inside to add some crunch! So much filling! The vanilla buttercream on top was delicious and it was decorated with POP ROCKS! So be on the lookout for that if you’re biting into this guy! Watch out for those pop rocks! Then, the most exciting part, the truffle cake pop! It looked SO COOL inside! The cake was strawberry and blueberry flavored, but we definitely tasted the strawberry more! The outside was then covered in white chocolate. How patriotic! We would 100% order this cupcake again — it was so yummy and it’s a great treat to celebrate 4th of July! You can get it at Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for $5.99. We’ll be on the lookout for more patriotic treats around Disney, so stay tuned to DFB for all the updates!

Welcome back to EPCOT! Let’s Go to EPCOT! We’re constantly visiting EPCOT to get all the updates in food, construction, merchandise, and more! EPCOT Food Update House of Good Fortune, China Pavilion We found a new chip flavor in the China Pavilion — Lay’s Wasabi Chips at the House of Good Fortune. We’ve been seeing lots of unique chip flavors, and wasabi is the new flavor you can try for $5.50. Wasabi chips! EPCOT Construction Updates EPCOT Entrance When we entered EPCOT, we noticed something missing near the entrance. Where did it go? One of the flags appeared to be missing. When it’s back, we’ll be sure to let you know! Italy Pavilion Over in Italy, we noticed Neptune’s fountain was drained and off. Where’s the water? Poor Neptune and his fish are out of water! We will let you know when the water returns! Morocco Pavilion In Morocco, the refurbished bathrooms are now open! Refurbished bathrooms! Could these bathrooms make the list of best bathrooms in Disney World? The new bathroom doors fit in with the Moroccan decor… New door details …and the flowery tile details above the sinks gives you something pretty to look at while washing your hands! Tiling above the sinks These newly refurbished and reopened bathrooms are located right next to the Morocco Pavilion. Canada Pavilion In Canada, we noticed Canada Far and Wide signs missing and covered up. Where’s the sign? Canada Far and Wide is currently closed, with no show times listed between June 27th to August 3rd. Covered up sign We do not yet know for sure why Canada Far & Wide is closed and what Disney World’s plans are for the show, but we will update you as soon as we know more! It might be used as a Food and Wine location again. EPCOT Merchandise Update Pin Traders At Pin Traders, we found a new phone case compatible with iPhone XS Max and 11 Pro Max. Mickey Phone Case This Sorcerer Mickey iPhone case was $29.99. And that’s all our EPCOT updates for today. If you have any questions about changes at EPCOT, let us know!

Disney World is gearing up for its big 50th anniversary celebrations and there are a TON of new things to look forward to! ©Disney There is a new fireworks show and projections coming to Magic Kingdom, a new daytime show coming to Animal Kingdom, the debut of Harmonious in EPCOT, golden character statues will be going up around the parks, and we’re FINALLY getting the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! Disney recently announced that they will be offering extended evening theme park hours for select guests for the big anniversary, and we’re here to tell you which guests will get the new perk! Before we begin, we want to those that this extended evening perk is different than Early Theme Park Entry. Early Theme Park Entry is a separate benefit for hotel guests. You can read more about Early Entry here! In terms of the extended evening hours perk, Disney has said that select guests will be able to enjoy extended evening hours on select nights in select theme parks (that’s a lot of selectively!). This will start in early October, but we do not have an official start date yet. The Lobby at Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village Here is the official language from Disney, “guests staying at one of our Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort hotels will also be able to enjoy extended evening hours on select nights in select theme parks.” So, what we DO know is that the extended evening hours will be available to guests staying at a Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resort hotel. These include: Disney’s Contemporary Resort Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Copper Creek Villas & Cabins Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Beach Club Resort Disney’s Beach Club Villas Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Disney’s BoardWalk Villas Disney’s Old Key West Resort Disney’s Riviera Resort Guests need a valid ticket or pass and a theme park reservation for the park that has the extended evening hours that day. You can also park hop to the park with the extended hours, as long as you have a ticket with park hopping abilities and you first enter into the park you made a reservation for that day (just like with regular park hopping right now). Disney’s Riviera Resort Select attractions, merchandise, and food and beverage locations will be available during these extra hours, so you probably won’t get the full experience of the park as if it were open during regular hours. That’s just something to keep in mind. You also need to have some form of identification that’s linked to your stay so Disney can make sure you are staying at one of the qualifying resorts (like your MagicBand, Disney MagicMobile pass, or Key to the World card). Grand Floridian Disney has not yet announced specific dates or times for these extended evening hours or what exactly will be open. We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as Disney releases this info, so stay tuned to DFB for more! Click here to read more about the extended evening hours perk!

If you’re on the lookout for some lesser-known places to enjoy a refreshing snack in Disney World, we’d recommend the Coca-Cola store in Disney Springs! Coca Cola Rooftop Bar We’re heading up to the Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar today in Disney Springs to try their newest Drink of the Month! In the past, we’ve tried other Drinks of the Month, like the super Instagramable Winter Flurry Punch, the subtle-yet-delicious Simply Refresher, and the king of all summer drinks, the Summer Strawberry Lemonade! We went back today when we heard there’s a new flavor out, and we can’t wait to show you! Another Insta-worthy drink This month — right in time for the Fourth of July — features the Simply Razzle Dazzle! This is a returning drink that has been given a bit of a 4th of July twist. Here’s what it looked like last time we tried it. Razzle Dazzle And here’s what it looks like now! Simply Razzle Dazzle! This SUPER SWEET drink is made with Simply Lemonade, a Blue Raspberry Icee, Peach Whiskey, Cherry Whiskey, and Grenadine! Decoration on Simply Razzle Dazzle It’s served with a cherry and a red-white-and-blue streamer on top! We thought this drink was REALLY sweet. The grenadine at the bottom was sickly sweet (almost medicinal even), so it wasn’t our favorite. Once you mix it all together, though, the lemonade calmed down the sweetness a little with a tart flavor and we think made it a lot better! Razzle Dazzle There’s still a lot of sweetness going on here, though, between the cherry and peach flavors, the grenadine, and the blue raspberry, so that poor lemonade has to fight hard to cut through it all! If you’re not into artificially sweet flavors, this probably isn’t the right drink for you. The alcohol flavor wasn’t very strong in this drink, but it was still stronger than we expected! That’s been true for most of the drinks we’ve had at the Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar. And an added bonus: you get to keep the cup it’s served in! They even gave us a plastic Coca-Cola bag to put it in, which we greatly appreciated. Cute little Coke bag! In general, we thought the flavors were fun, and it’s a super cute drink for the Fourth of July, but it was a little too sweet for our taste! If you love a lot of sweetness or cherry flavor in your drinks though, you should give it a try! It’s $15 at the Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar in Disney Springs!

Who doesn’t love making a visit to Magic Kingdom? Magic Kingdom We’ve dropped by a few times over the last few days to dream about the new scene coming to Mickey’s PhilharMagic, plot our game plan for the soon-to-come extended theme park hours, and stare longingly at the almost-reopened Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. But we also checked in on the latest news! Here’s everything NEW in food, construction, and merchandise in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Casey’s Corner AT LONG LAST. Casey’s Corner has reopened in Magic Kingdom and we are FINALLY reunited with the Casey’s Corn Dog Nuggets, Hot Dogs, and PLASTIC CHEESE. After an adorable first pitch courtesy of the Cast Members at this spot, guests were welcomed in once again. Who’s hungry? We are SO excited that this fan-favorite option has reopened. Click here to read our Casey’s Corner reopening review! Magic Kingdom Construction Updates Main Street, U.S.A. Moving on to construction, there were some barricades up outside the entrance to Magic Kingdom. They were not in use during our visit. Barricades We noticed that the train station scrim had some patriotic bunting added as you enter Main Street, U.S.A. but it did not extend farther into the park. This is probably the first sign of the 4th of July decorations! Bunting Frontierland The bridge in front of Splash Mountain had a surprisingly large barricade sitting on it. Hmm…we wonder what the deal is there! Splash Mountain Fantasyland We noticed some repainting going on at Beast’s Castle above Be Our Guest Restaurant… Repainting …and there were some new Little Mermaid wooden benches outside of Ariel’s Grotto. New Bench Tomorrowland In Tomorrowland, we spotted some repaving in some of the main pathways. Repaving Over at TRON Lightcycle Run, the HUGE crane that has been here for a while is coming down! TRON Construction Transportation and Ticket Center Finally, we spotted that repainting is ongoing still at the Transportation and Ticket Center. As of our last visit, the Express Monorail had been painted and the Resorts Monorail was in the process of being painted. TTC Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Frontier Trading Post Annnnd let’s check in on merchandise! There were some new Make Mine Music Pins over at Frontier Trading Post for $19.99 each. Make Mine Music Pins Memento Mori The Leota Medallion has been restocked over at Memento Mori! Leota Medallion Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. Stopping into Tomorrowland Light & Power Co., we came across a new-to-us, super cute Grogu Magnet for $14.99. Grogu Magnet And there you have it!

Can you believe that we’re almost halfway through 2021?! What a beaut! July is coming up and if you’re planning on being in Disney World, you’re in for an AWESOME time! While it may be one of the hottest months to be in the parks, there are some SUPER exciting things happening that will make the heat worth it. These are the 5 BEST things to do in Disney World in July! 1. Watch the Returning Fireworks Shows That’s right folks, the fireworks are BACK in Disney World! Shows will be returning on July 1st, which means you get the entire month to watch them! Happily Ever After will take place in Magic Kingdom every night, and EPCOT Forever will be seen in EPCOT (obviously). ©Disney Happily Ever After This is a big deal for Disney! We haven’t seen a fireworks show since March of 2020, as the shows did not return when the parks reopened. Now you can stand with your friends and family in front of Cinderella Castle and cry happy tears while watching the Tangled lanterns float up during Happily Ever After (not speaking from experience, or anything…). ©Disney Happily Ever After EPCOT Forever was only around for less than 6 months before the closures, so if you didn’t get a chance to catch the show, now is your time! Epcot Forever The fireworks are the temporary nighttime show in the park until its new show, Harmonious, debuts on October 1st. Click here to read more about fireworks returning to Disney World! 2. Visit EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival Food and Wine is here!! The festival kicks off on July 15th and will run through November 20th, 2021. Visit returning booths like Brazil (that cheese bread though) and Hawai’i. And also some NEW booths like The Noodle Exchange! 2020 Brazil Booth Now, not ALL of the booths will be open in July. 9 of them will be opening on October 1st for the 50th anniversary. So just make sure you know which booths will be available while you’re in EPCOT! The Spain booth won’t be open until October 1st July is a great time to be at EPCOT because you’ll be some of the first people to experience Food and Wine this year! We’re still waiting to see all of the official menus for the festival, but when we do, we’ll make sure to tell you right away! Click here to pre-order our Food and Wine guide! 3. Celebrate 4th of July Independence Day is almost here, and what better way to spend it than in Disney World?! It’s sure to be a busy day at the parks. In fact, Animal Kingdom is currently the only park that still has reservations available! The American Adventure The 4th is usually a super crowded day in Disney, with capacity often being reached early in the day. This year is a bit less stressful because if you have a park reservation, you know you can get into at least one park for the holiday. Remember, you CAN park hop after 2PM, but only if the park you’re hopping to isn’t at capacity! These would be PERFECT for the 4th! We would suggest trying to hop over to Magic Kingdom or EPCOT to catch one of the fireworks shows if you can! And definitely secure your viewing spot early in the evening as almost everyone will most likely be trying to watch the shows. As of right now, Disney World is not showing a special fireworks show on the 4th of July. Voices of Liberty at EPCOT Besides fireworks, Disney World has a ton of patriotic activities to celebrate for the holiday. You can watch the Voices of Liberty or snack on some great barbecue in EPCOT, wear festive red, white, and blue merch, or even enjoy the flag ceremony in the morning at Magic Kingdom!

Enjoy a Meal at ‘Ohana Again Fan-favorite restaurant ‘Ohana is reopening on July 9th at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

Characters dining is not returning, but there will be strolling music at dinner. You can finally chow down on those amazing ‘Ohana noodles or the famous bread pudding once again.

We LOVE finding Disney Princess themed treats around the parks! Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Cake We still dream about the Rapunzel-inspired Lost Princess Cone, the Cinderella’s Carriage cake was super unique, and the iconic grey stuff made all of our Beauty and the Beast dreams come true! And we recently found a NEW princess treat in Disneyland that we need to tell you about because it’s SO FUN. We stopped by Maurice’s Treats which recently reopened in Fantasyland and discovered a new menu item! This is the Madeline Trio-themed after 3 iconic Disney Princesses. Can you guess which leading women they represent? Which princesses do we have here? The three treats are designed after Snow White, Belle, and Aurora! Did you guess right? So pretty! We tried the Snow White Madeline first, which is a delicious chocolate chip flavor. Just like Snow’s dress! Then, we had the Belle Madeline, which has a citrus flavor — very fitting for the yellow hue of the cookie! An enchanted rose Last, we tried the Aurora Madeline and we were a little sad to bite into this one because it’s SO pretty on the outside! But once we did, we found a wonderful raspberry flavor. Look at those fun sprinkles! All three were very light in flavor, in a good way! They were all super yummy, but our favorite was the Snow White Madeline! Take a bite! If you’re looking for a treat that’s not overwhelmingly sweet, you should try these out! And they’re so photogenic, so they’ll definitely make for a pretty picture! The princesses can share Aurora’s castle, right? The trio is $6.49, which we think is pretty decent since this is an easily shareable snack. And you may have to ASK for these treats, as they weren’t advertised anywhere when we visited! When we picked them up, the Cast Members hadn’t even tried them yet! Madeline Princess Trio These cookies were delightful and really cute, we hope you get to try them out! We’re always on the lookout for other secret menu items and new treats, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news and updates!

You’ve heard of Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, right? Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie The little bakery serves up GIANT cookies (seriously — they’re HALF-POUND COOKIES) with really delicious flavors! They have limited-edition flavors throughout the year, and we just tried the NEW flavors they’ve got for July! This summer, Gideon’s is bringing in fruity summer flavors with a key lime theme! Gideon’s July Flavors Along with their usual flavors of Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Crunch, Pistachio Toffee, Cookies and Cream, and Triple Chocolate, you can get a Chocolate Chip Key Lime Pie Cookie and a Key Lime Pie Cake! Hurry down to the Springs soon, though, because these flavors will only be there until August 12th! These were made specifically for the Flavors of Florida event coming to Disney Springs. Gideon’s July Flavor Menu You can bet we ran in and tried those flavors ASAP! When it comes to desserts, we do not mess around, so we grabbed the cake AND the cookie! The cookie costs $6, and the slice of cake was $10 — not bad prices for such huge portions! The NEW Key Lime Pie Treats at Gideon’s Bakehouse! First, we tried the Chocolate Chip Key Lime Pie Cookie! The cookie is made with Gideon’s vanilla cookie dough that’s been infused with key lime juice! It has TONS of chocolate chops on top and some key lime pie crumbs that tasted to us like graham cracker crumble! Like a lot of Gideon’s cookies, there’s flaky salt on top that we think really brings out the flavors and balances the sweetness of the chocolate! Gideon’s Limited-Edition Chocolate Chip Key Lime Pie Cookie! Even though we could taste the lime in the cookie, we thought it was still super chocolatey — how could it not be when it’s smothered in chocolate chips?? Chocolate is the dominant flavor, but we did get a really crisp and refreshing burst of lime in the dough! The sharp lime flavor worked well against the really sweet chocolate, and we enjoyed that balance. The little graham cracker crumbles added a great crunch to the cookie and added to the key lime pie flavor! We probably could’ve done with a little less chocolate to let the key lime flavor really shine, but the cookie was still really delicious. We thought both the cake and cookie were delicious, but the key lime flavor was strong (especially in the cake!), so if you’re not a key lime fan, this might not be the best treat for you! Gideon’s theming is so unique and fun!! You can try the Chocolate Chip Key Lime Pie Cookie and Key Lime Pie Cake at Gideon’s Bakehouse now in Disney Springs! Head on down and tell us if you liked it as much as we did! We’ll do our best to let you know about all the new treats in Disney, so keep following DFB!
