A lot has been on pause in Disney World over the past year. Cinderella Castle It’s been a while since we’ve seen fireworks, used a FastPass, or hugged a character; but those aren’t the only offerings we’re missing. It’s been a year since Annual Passes for Disney World were on sale. So, what’s the deal? The Current Situation Let’s rewind and talk about the current situation. With the 2020 park closures due to the global health crisis, Disney had to make a number of changes to the way the business was running. One of those changes meant that Disney World paused the sale of Annual Passes when the parks reopened in July of 2020. Spaceship Earth Since then, there have been severe limits as to who can purchase a new Annual Pass. At this time, existing Passholders have been able to renew their Annual Passes and those who canceled during the 2020 closure have been able to buy new Passes if they reach out to Disney directly. The only other group that is able to buy Annual Passes at this time is children who recently turned three that have a parent who currently has an Annual P. Toy Story Land For everyone else, Annual Passes have been completely unavailable at this time. So what is Disney waiting for? And why aren’t Annual Passes on sale in the first place? Click here to learn more about who can buy an Annual Pass! Why Annual Passes Aren’t on Sale Annual Passes may not be on sale for a number of reasons. One could be because they want to manage the number of Passholders who are visiting the park. In an earnings call last August, Disney executives noted that locals (who are often Passholders) were accounting for 50% of park attendance. Imagine what the percentages could potentially be if they started selling more Passes; the balance could significantly skew. We LOVE this big ball! It’s true that in the time since last August, more non-local visitors have likely started to go to Disney World once more. However, Annual Passholders are still not the more profitable guests. While Passholders are among Disney’s most loyal customers and they DO shell out a LOT of dough to buy that pass initially, they do not necessarily spend the most money while there. Annual Passholders can save at select restaurants! For one, many Annual Passholders are Florida Residents and may not need to book a night in a Disney hotel, opting instead to drive and stay at home. Passholders also have a tendency to spend less on food and souvenirs when in the parks because they are there more often. The profitability of non-Passholders might be a big reason that Disney is not encouraging new Passholders at this time. Magic Kingdom Plus, it’s very possible that Disney hasn’t figured everything out yet when it comes to park modifications and the Annual Pass program. Until they do, sales may remain paused. Remember, there have been a lot of question marks for Disney over the past year and the company may be waiting for more long-term certainty. Want to learn more about the Passholder mix in Disney World? Click here! What’s the Future of Annual Passes? So, what’s the future of Disney World Annual Passes? Well, we can look to Disneyland which got rid of its Annual Passholder program completely during its closure. Disneyland is in the process of developing an entirely new program but they used the closures as an opportunity to revamp from scratch. Galaxy’s Edge Disney World could potentially follow the same path, but it’s also possible that Disney was already looking to rework the Disneyland Passholder program and seized the opportunity that the closures provided. With Disney World having been reopened for so long and no news of Annual Pass program cancellations, the program may return to what it was before the closures. EPCOT Keep in mind though, Passholders are some of Disney World’s most devoted guests. Take away their ability to have an Annual Pass and many would likely still be willing to shell out big bucks for a ticket (similar to what’s going on right now if former Disneyland Passholders want to visit reopened Disneyland). So Disney eliminating the current program doesn’t seem completely far-fetched. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway As for the current statement from Disney, it remains unchanged. Cast members are still saying to keep an eye on the Walt Disney World website for any updates about the return Annual Pass sales. At the time of writing, if you do go to the Annual Pass page on the website, it redirects you to the Experience Updates page that speaks to all of the different experience changes as a result of the global health crisis. ©Disney Overall, it’s entirely possible that Annual Passes will return as the capacity and demand levels return to normal in Disney World. With the recent health updates, such as masks no longer being required in outdoor spaces and fewer limitations when it comes to social distancing, we may be getting closer to that point. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Of course, we’ll keep you updated with all of the Disney World Annual Pass updates right here on DFB, so stay tuned.

There are over a dozen hotels on Disney World property. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge That means you can probably find somethin’ for everyone, whether you’re looking for a well-themed resort, an epic pool, or ALL the luxury. And sure, the hotels themselves are prettyyy magical (sometimes, the characters even make an appearance!). But it’s not all pixie dust, all the time. Let’s be real: sometimes, you’ll emerge from your hotel stay a little disappointed. After all, there are bound to be a few bumps in the road on your vacation! And when we asked our readers what their BIGGEST Disney hotel letdowns were, here’s what they had to say. No More Magical Express First up, a reader explained that they’re upset with the discontinuation of Disney’s Magical Express — especially when combined with the overnight parking fee at Disney hotels. After this complimentary shuttle goes away in January 2022, guests will have to rent a car, order a taxi, or use Mears’ new (paid) service. Disney’s Magical Express And if you do choose to rent a car (which can be expensive, especially now!) or drive as your Magical Express replacement, you’ll have to pay EXTRA for that overnight parking. It can vary from $15-$25 per night, depending on where you’re staying. That can really add up! Our reader explained that the Magical Express was “the last perk I could use to sell families on the magic of staying on property.” And they’re not alone — a LOT of people are disappointed. Learn More About the Magical Express Being Discontinued! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort While Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is one of the most iconic hotels on property, one of our readers was a little disappointed in their stay there. They explained that they had high hopes, but it “needs a refresh.” Others have brought up this issue, too — while the Grand Floridian is stunning, it may need a little TLC. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Disney did recently announce that 200 rooms at the Grand Floridian will be reimagined into Disney Vacation Club villas, so these new rooms will likely be nice and spiffy. Those will debut in summer 2022! Read More About the Changes Coming to the Grand Floridian! No Extra Magic Hours When the parks reopened last summer, Extra Magic Hours were temporarily suspended. This perk previously let Disney resort guests into the parks before (or after!) the general public, and it was considered a huge benefit to staying on property. One reader told us that this was, in their opinion, the best hotel perk: they could “ride the major attractions with no waiting and the park virtually empty.” Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Now, Disney has announced an Extra Magic Hours “replacement” for Disney World’s 50th anniversary: Early Theme Park Entry. This perk lets hotel guests into the parks half an hour early, every day. We haven’t seen it in practice yet (right now, just about anyone can get in the parks a little early), but it may kick off later this year, as the big 5-0 gets closer. Check Out Some Tips for Early Theme Park Entry! Disney’s Port Orleans Resort Isn’t Open While most Disney World hotels have reopened — at least in some capacity — a few remain shuttered. That includes Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts — both Riverside and French Quarter. A LOT of people really enjoy these hotels (especially because you can snag Mickey beignets there!) and are disappointed that they remain closed. Port Orleans Riverside While we have reopening dates for some hotels (like Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!), Disney hasn’t announced a timeline for Port Orleans. So we’ll just have to hang tight and see what happens! And of course, we’ll keep you posted with any news. Here’s a List of Other Closures on Property! No Animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge One of the most unique features of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is, well, the animals. The hotel overlooks a savanna, and guests may even be able to spot the wildlife from select rooms! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge One of our readers was a bit upset that they didn’t see “any animals for our entire stay from our room.” If you’re planning a trip to Animal Kingdom Lodge, you’ll want to keep 2 things in mind. First of all: unfortunately, as our reader experienced, there’s no guarantee the animals will be out and about while you’re in your room. You may be disappointed! And secondly, some rooms simply don’t offer that savanna view. So book wisely! We’re Breaking Down if Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Is Worth it! Like we told ya: sure, the Disney hotels are GREAT. But chances are, there are going to be a few hiccups on your vacation, and chances are some of ’em have to do with where you’re staying. Hopefully our readers’ experiences give you a better idea of what could happen on your trip. Stay tuned to DFB — we’ll keep bringing you the latest Disney news! Here Are the BEST Disney World Hotels!

We eat and drink a LOT of stuff at Disney World, and a lot of our treats have been pretty unique. Another Insta-worthy drink From interesting potato chip flavors to donuts with Peeps on them to rainbow cupcakes, we’re always looking for the most uncommon snacks and beverages. So color us intrigued when we popped over to Disney Springs and saw a sign for an Orange Cream Float at the Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Beverage Bar. Now we’ve had our share of Creamsicle-like treats recently, but this one is a little different. It’s made with Coca-Cola, Vanilla Ice Cream, and a whole Orange Cream Bar. Yes, you read that right — there’s a whole Creamsicle actually in it! Not your typical Creamsicle float So here’s the deal — the orange and Coke flavors are both strong and they tend to fight against each other with each sip. The vanilla ice cream adds a nice balance as the “cream” part of the drink, but this is going to be one of those drinks that only fans of strong and tangy flavors are going to enjoy. A whole Creamsicle just stuffed in there Things got messy when we tried to pull the Creamsicle out by its stick. The orange cream bar just kinda’ melts right into the drink (it’s summer in Florida — these things happen). Messy and melty We found out quickly that you just can’t pull the Creamsicle out to enjoy it on its own. Instead, it chose to become one with the rest of the drink. But maybe that’s the point. One thing we also noticed is that the orange flavor doesn’t meld with the drink until you scrape it off the Creamsicle and mix it up in there. So if you don’t want so much of the orange flavor, don’t do that. Welp It also comes with a Souvenir Glass, as well as a Souvenir bag, so for $12, it’s a pretty good deal. Souvenir Bag This drink is big enough to share, so if you’ve got someone with you who loves ice cream (or kids), you might want to let them have a taste or two. We’ll keep trying out all the summer snacks and drinks at Disney World, so stay tuned for more reviews. We Tried Out THREE New Drinks at La Cava del Tequila!

It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since Disney World reopened after closing due to the global pandemic. Arcades have reopened! And although some places are still closed to guests, we’re beginning to see more things reopen, including water parks and restaurants. And now something else at Disney World has reopened. We’re talking about the arcades at Disney World hotels. We were at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort today and walked by the Iguana Arcade. And for the first time since the hotel’s reopening, the arcade was OPEN. So we walked in and looked around. Time to get our game on! There’s a sign in the front of the arcade informing guests that they must wear masks when inside and must maintain a physical distancing of six feet from other guests. Do note that mask requirements are changing June 15th. Signage Guests can also help themselves to free disinfecting wipes to wipe down surfaces on games. Disinfecting wipes are available. A hand sanitizer station is also readily available. Hand sanitizer The games are still pretty much organized like they were pre-closure. Machines aren’t distanced apart. Games Forget the quarters, though — arcade cards are required to play these games. There’s a card station that allows guests to get cards and put play points on those cards for certain amounts. They can recharge cards here with more play points, too. Arcade Card Machine This particular arcade is open from 8AM to 10PM. Operating hours We’ll be checking at other hotels, too, to see if arcades are open there, so if they are, we’ll let you know. Check Out Disney’s New Marvel Villains Board Game!

These sound very similar to the ones that have been available throughout Flower & Garden. Click here to read more about these live concerts. 2. BOO Bash Tickets Are Now Available for Select Guests This week, tickets for Disney’s NEW After Hours BOO BASH Halloween event became available for Disney World hotel guests with stays booked for the days they want BOO BASH tickets for. And while 74% of our readers feeling like BOO BASH tickets are not worth the price, it seems QUITE a few people were very much ready to buy their tickets! Boo Bash ©Disney Right now, reservations can only be made through the phone. When we first called, we kept getting an error message that the call couldn’t be completed. Eventually, we got through and given an estimated hold time of 167 minutes!! Click here to read more about our initial experience. We waited for a WHILE (12 hours) and then got through to a Cast Member. But, the Cast Member shared that they were unable to sell tickets because the large influx of calls took down the Ticketing line! The ticketing line was expected, however, to be back up soon. If you’re calling to book your BOO BASH tickets within the next few days, just be prepared to wait a while and potentially be faced with some complications due to the influx of calls. Click here to read more about the BOO BASH ticketing line complications. 3.

Disney Has Made Some BIG Mask and Social Distancing Changes Things regarding masks and distancing have been changing quite a bit in Disney World, and over the past week or so we’ve seen MORE changes made. Disney recently changed their mask policy to note that masks are only required in INDOOR theaters (as opposed to all theaters). We got a look at this updated policy regarding outdoor theaters in action in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Masks No Longer Required in Outdoor Theaters But soon, that mask policy will be changing again. Starting June 15th, masks will be optional for fully vaccinated guests in most areas throughout Disney World. Face Mask Masks will continue to be required, however, on Disney transportation for all guests. Click here to read about this big change! We’ve also seen some changes when it comes to distancing policies in the resort pools in Disney World. Disney also recently updated their physical distancing guidelines when it comes to restaurants and shops, and more changes are set to take place starting June 15th. Distancing Changes Are Happening Throughout the Parks We’re noticing quite a few changes being made in Disney World, so be sure to keep an eye out for updated signs throughout your trip to make sure you’re following all of the most current procedures. 5. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Has Reopened This past week, another Disney World hotel fully reopened — Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! Lobby While the hotel’s Disney Vacation Club Villas had been open for quite some time, the resort’s standard rooms had not been available. Now, the resort has fully reopened. Click here to see more about the reopening of Wilderness Lodge! Not only has Wilderness Lodge reopened, but some of its rooms have also been renovated! Wilderness Lodge Renovated Rooms The rooms now feature all kinds of unique details and some Disney characters hidden throughout. Click here for a full tour of a renovated room at Wilderness Lodge! 6. The Disney Skyliner Crashed And finally, in terms of big news, earlier this week some gondolas on the Disney Skyliner crashed again. Photo From @camerondudeck on Twitter The situation, however, appears to have been resolved as we were able to hop aboard the Skyliner later this week. Click here to learn more about the Skyliner crash. And that’s our wrap up of the big news this week. But, of course, there’s much more news where that came from. Here’s a peek at some of the other stories we shared this week: New animatronic characters have appeared in Disney World’s Jungle Cruise ride as well as a new building In case you missed it, Avengers Campus officially opened in Disneyland last week and we’ve shared SO much information from the land including a review of Pym Tasting Lab, a look at all of the merchandise, and a review of Terran Treats.

Another day, another cupcake! Disney has been coming out with flavor after flavor of these handheld treats! Whether it’s Black Forest or Carrot Cake, Disney has a TON of options when it comes to cupcakes! Black Forest Cupcake Recently, we spotted two new cupcake flavors at Candy Cauldron and Goofy’s Candy Company in Disney Springs! In the case at both Candy Cauldron and Goofy’s Candy Company, you can spot a new Key Lime Cupcake and Strawberry Cupcake, both for $5.19! The case at Candy Cauldron The first one we tried was the Key Lime Cupcake with key lime cake and vanilla icing! This one was SUPER SWEET, we had a hard time finishing it because it was too sweet! On top of that, the lime in the cupcake was very subtle, it was hardly there. Key Lime Cupcake The frosting was basic vanilla frosting but it was just pure sugar flavor. The “ears” on this cupcake were lime candy melts, but they didn’t really taste like anything! Overall, this cupcake was really really sweet and didn’t have a lot of lime flavor. We were also told that it would have a filling, but when we cut into the cupcake we found disappointment. No filling at all. Inside the Key Lime Cupcake! The Strawberry Cupcake with strawberry cake, vanilla frosting, and strawberry jelly with chocolate “ears.” And we felt like this one was much better! The Strawberry Cupcake The strawberry flavor was present but not overpowering! There was still a bit of a sweetness problem, both of these cupcakes were super sweet and hard to finish! Inside the Strawberry Cupcake The cake was dry in both cupcakes and the frosting wasn’t anything particularly delicious. There are much much better cupcakes at Disney World, so maybe steer clear of these unlike you really love sweetness! We’re always on the lookout for the latest treats all over the Disney parks!

We’ve seen a number of changes made in Disney World recently when it comes to face mask policies, social distancing policies, and more. Flower and Garden Mask Now, Disney has made another BIG change when it comes to masks in the parks. According a recent update on the Walt Disney World website, changes will be made to certain mask policies and distancing procedures soon. Note that all of these changes are set to take place starting June 15th. Masks When it comes to masks, beginning on June 15th, masks will become optional for fully vaccinated guests in most areas in Disney World. Disney face mask Face masks will, however, continue to be required for all guests (including vaccinated guests) on Disney transportation, including Disney buses, monorails, and the Disney Skyliner. Disney will not be requiring proof of vaccination. But, Disney does note that they expect guests who are not fully vaccinated to continue wearing face masks in all indoor locations, and upon entering and throughout all attractions and transportation. Festival of the Arts Mask Keep in mind that these changes will NOT take place until June 15. Guests must continue to comply with Disney’s existing face mask policy until then. Social Distancing In terms of social distancing, Disney notes that they will be relaxing distancing guidelines. They note that this will be visible in places like queues, shops, restaurants, attraction boarding, transportation and our theaters. Some experiences and entertainment may, however, continue to operate with limited capacity or be temporarily unavailable. Loading Platform, Distancing Markers And Disney notes that while they’re not quite ready to bring everything back yet, they “look forward to the day when Disney pals and princesses are able to hug once again.” Check out more about this changes below. Screenshot from the Disney World Website ©Disney This is what is currently posted on Disney World’s website. But, of course, rules are always subject to change in the future. Cleaning In terms of cleaning, Disney notes that they “will continue the high standards for cleanliness and sanitation” they’ve set for themselves. Cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer stations will continue to be available. ©Disney We’ll keep an eye out for any more changes and let you know what we find.

We hope you have your sweet tooth ready! Vivoli il Gelato We’re exploring Disney Springs today to check out all the latest and greatest news and we found some new treats that look, well, pretty great. Scoot on over to Vivoli il Gelato with us to try not one, not two, but THREE new gelato-y delights! When we strolled into Vivoli il Gelato today we spotted two new bombolatos on the menu… Menu …and a new waffle sundae! Waffles Let’s start with that waffle because who DOESN’T love a golden, delicious waffle covered in creamy gelato? The new item here is the Cookies and Cream Waffle for $12. This is a full waffle topped with crushed Oreos, cookies and cream gelato, and whipped cream. Cookies and Cream Waffle OMG. This treat was SHOCKINGLY amazing. Our reporter called it one of the best she’d ever eaten. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Plus, the flavors weren’t super overwhelming with the cookies and cream. The crushed Oreos fell into the waffle’s ridges and the gelato was light and delicious. It also comes with syrup that, when added on top, made for a delightful combo. Cookies and Cream Waffle Overall, this treat was excellent and HUGE. Two or three people could easily share it, so even at $12, we’d say it’s a good deal. You could even eat it as a sweet breakfast! Cookies and Cream Waffle Now, on to the bomoblatos. First up, let’s try out the Mocha Caramel Bomobolato for $9.75. Mocha Caramel Bomobolato For the uninitiated, a bomobolato is an Italian doughnut and at Vivoli, they stuff ’em with gelato. This new flavor was coffee gelato, caramel sauce, and chocolate shavings in a warm Italian doughnut. Mocha Caramel Bomobolato The doughnut was a little bit dry and cooled down pretty quick, but the flavor was still very good. It was sweet but nowhere near sickly. We noticed that the coffee flavor wasn’t too strong and didn’t leave an aftertaste and the caramel was very sticky. Mocha Caramel Bomobolato Get ready for a messy treat, but if those flavors appeal to you, this could be a winner! Mocha Caramel Bomobolato The other new bombolato was the Banana Cream Pie Bombolato for $9.75. Banana Cream Pie Bombolato This treat is banana gelato, whipped cream, crushed Oreos, and chocolate sauce in an Italian doughnut. Banana Cream Pie Bombolato This one had a solid serving of gelato which made it VERY drippy and messy. The banana flavor was light but we really liked how it meshed with the other flavors. Banana Cream Pie Bombolato We were a bit surprised by the choice to include Oreos, but they worked with the banana and added an important textural component. We weren’t so into the whipped cream since it didn’t add too much and melted fairly quickly. Banana Cream Pie Bombolato And those are the new treats at Vivoli il Gelato!

Planning a night at Disney Springs with some friends or family? The Edison Well, if you’ve been looking for a place where you can sit down and maybe get some things to share, we may have found the perfect spot for you, particularly if you’ve been looking to share one GIANT drink! The Edison in Disney Springs previously served up a drink option known as “Punch bowls.” We actually tried this drink option back in early 2020. Basically, The Edison can transform some of their select cocktails into a GIANT punch bowl version for $100. You can then share this giant creation with a whole bunch of friends and family. Samantha Sterling Punch Bowl Earlier today, The Edison shared via Twitter that punch bowls are back!!! Now, as we mentioned, these punch bowls are LARGE! They even come complete with a ladle for serving… Every Disney Drink Needs a Ladle! …and glasses for everyone at the table! Pretty in Pink!! Right now, the Green Electron, Samantha Sterling, and Time Turner signature cocktails can be ordered in punch bowl form for groups of 4 or more (note: you must be 21+ to order and enjoy these drinks). ©The Edison $100 might sound pretty pricey for drinks. But, drinks in Disney World will typically set you back about $12-18 per person, so this could be a fairly good buy depending on how many people you bring with you. It may end up being similar to what you would have spent on a round of drinks anyway (plus you get that unique punch bowl factor)! Click here to see our FULL review of the punch bowl we got back in 2020! So, if you’ve been looking for a giant drink to share or you just love those punch bowls, now you can stop by The Edison to grab one! We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney food news and let you know what we find. Stay tuned for more updates.

We’re BACK at Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure (we just couldn’t stay away from that Choco-Smash CANDY Bar)! Avengers Campus We’ve been hangin’ out here trying all the eats, checking out the merch, and more. And now, it’s finally time to ride this land’s brand-new attraction: WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure! Now before we dive in, we’ve gotta break down exactly what this ride is. Everyone onboard will be able to sling webs in a 3D experience, but you’re ALSO able to purchase accessories to personalize your ride experience. These are called WEB Power Bands, and they’re $34.99 apiece. They give you access to “multi-fire” mode on the ride (you CAN use just the Power Band on its own on the ride without the additional attachment!). ©Disney But we’re not done just yet. You can also buy WEB Power Band add-ons inspired by Spider-Man, Iron Man, Ghost Spider, or Rescue. These add-ons cost $29.99 each! With the Spider-Man and Ghost Spider WEB Shooter, you’ll get electro-dynamic webs on the ride. Meanwhile, the Iron Man and Rescue Repulsor Cannons give you repulsor blasts! ©Disney So you can drop $35 for just the Power Band and have special powers on the ride, but altogether, if you want to fully personalize your ride experience, you’ll have to spend $60. You can buy all of these accessories at WEB Suppliers, Backlot Premier Shop in Hollywood Land, and at outdoor kiosks in and around Avengers Campus. What is the Ride Like With the Add-Ons? Now it’s time to get on the ride equipped with those add-ons! We bought the WEB Power Band as well as the Spider-Man add-on. First, let’s read up on how to actually shoot and score points on the ride (instructions are located in the queue after you exit the pre-show!). Instructions on how to aim and shoot on WEB Slingers The ride vehicles are pods with an open front “window” where you can sling webs. The side will open up for you to get seated, and there’s room for four guests to be seated. Each guest will be assigned a color to keep track of their score throughout the ride. WEB Slingers Ride Vehicle If you go on WEB Slingers without the Power Band or the add-ons, you’ll still be able to shoot webs and score points. The ride has a series of “scenes” with increasing difficulty as the Spider-Bots multiply. It’s definitely a team effort, so the more friends you can have in your row with you, the better! WEB SLINGERS vehicle Now, each WEB Power Band comes with a few different “modes,” one of which is Attraction Mode. When switched to the proper setting, the ride vehicle will automatically recognize that you’re wearing a Power Band and will give both of your arms the capability of shooting webs or repulor blasts, depending on which attachment you have. WEB Slinger Power Band with WEB Shooter Add-On Once the ride begins and you’re saving Avengers Campus from the Spider-Bots, your arms move FAST. Think about Toy Story Midway Mania, only more intense! Your arms will definitely feel a little tired by the end of the ride, and the presence of the Power Band might actually bother some guests. Your arms are flying back and forth, so a big contraption strapped onto your arm can feel a little cumbersome. You can adjust the tightness of the Power Band As far as the ride interface itself, we’re going to be totally honest here…we didn’t notice a huge difference in our experience using the add-ons when we rode. Don’t get us wrong, wearing them definitely feels cool, like you’re “fully equipped” to properly assist Spider-Man in battling all of those Spider-Bots. But at the end of the day, it’s just as fun of a ride whether or not you’re wearing any accessories. The ride goes by quickly and there’s a lot to take in, so you might not even notice that your Power Band is giving you any sort of “special powers.” Yeah, you feel pretty cool wearing one of these. If you’re ultimate goal is to get the highest score possible, however, then the WEB Power Band and the add-ons are necessities. The ride seems to be built in a way where it’s very hard to get as high of a score if you DON’T wear a Power Band. Plus, it’s nice that the Power Bands can be used outside of the ride too as fun toys (the WEB Shooter actually shoots out a “web” in Play Mode, the Power Band has fun projections, and the Iron Man Cannons come with foam balls to balance). Power Band by itself Ultimately, the add-ons are not necessary whatsoever to get a cool ride experience. You’ll be able to score points and sling webs even without ’em! Plus, there are some advanced web shooting techniques you can practice on the ride that can potentially get your score higher a bit without needing a Power Band. But if you’re looking for a way to become even more immersed, they way be worth the extra bucks. Click here for more photos from inside WEB Slingers!

White Castle recently opened its largest restaurant in the WORLD near Disney World! White Castle Before opening though, the company set up a ghost kitchen back in February near Downtown Orlando to give people a taste of their famous sliders. Unfortunately, the ghost kitchen had shut down just days after opening because they were completely overwhelmed with orders. But now, we have good news for you about this virtual location! The White Castle ghost kitchen has reopened! Who’s ready for sliders? According to Fox 35, customers can place an order through the White Castle app or website and then pick up their food at the virtual kitchen from 10AM to 10PM every day! You can get all different kinds of sliders, mozzarella sticks, and even fudge-dipped cheesecake! um, yes, please! But hopefully, you’re not TOO hungry, because the store is currently limiting orders to 60 sliders (we think that might be enough, though)!

It is officially the rainy season in Florida! A rainy day in Animal Kingdom The start of June means that it’s also the start of hurricane season so rain will likely be a regular occurrence at Disney World for the coming months. If you’re headed to the Most Magical Place on Earth, you probably want to know how prepared you need to be for the precipitation. So, we’re bringing you a weather update for next week in Disney World! Weather Forecast According to The Weather Channel, the week is going to be pretty warm and the weather should be relatively consistent. Just watch out for those surprise storms! Cinderella Castle The potential for storms is present every day this week — that’s even more rain than was predicted last week! Still, there’s a good amount of sun, too. Let’s check the exact predictions so that you can be prepared. June 14th Monday, June 14th will start the week with pretty similar temperatures to what we’ve been seeing. This week will primarily hang out in the high 80s and low 90s so it will be toasty. Monday is going to max out at an 88-degree high and we’ll see 75 degrees at night. ©The Weather Channel Next week is characterized by a moderate chance of rain pretty much every day. Still, the days are expected to have a mix of rain and sun so you likely won’t be stuck in storms the whole time. June 15th The next day, June 15th brings us a very similar forecast to the day before with a high of 88 degrees during the day and keeping that low down at a comfy 76 degrees. ©The Weather Channel Humidity is fairly high for most of next week (It is Florida, after all!), but Tuesday is the most humid. June 16th On Wednesday, June 16th, we’re going to see temps edge down just a little bit to 87 degrees during the day. Your low is going to edge down just a tad too. ©The Weather Channel The benefit of the rain next week is that it looks like we’ll be dealing with a lower UV Index than we’ve seen in many weeks. You’ll still need to wear that sunscreen, but the levels typically stay away from the maximum reading. June 17th For Thursday, June 17th, we’re seeing a day with the LOWEST temps of the whole week in the mid-80s and a beautiful evening at 74 degrees. ©The Weather Channel This forecast certainly looks like the most comfortable of the whole week! You might see storms, but the chance is on the low side so Thursday just might mean the perfect Disney day. June 18th The week continues with a jump UP in temperatures in the day and a mid 70s night on June 18th. ©The Weather Channel Back up into the 90-degree temperatures, it is! If you’re not used to heat, make sure you’re taking care of yourself and listening to your body on what can be surprisingly strenuous days in the theme parks. June 19th Saturday, June 19th brings us similar temps with a high in the low-90s. You could see some rain on Saturday too! ©The Weather Channel Here, we’ll see a 91-degree high and a 76-degree low. June 20th And we’ll wrap up our week on June 20th with still toasty temperatures and yet another day where you could see some rain. ©The Weather Channel Sunday has one of the higher rain chances of the week AND a higher UV Index, so have a plan if it starts to get too wet OR too hot outside. Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures are projected to hang out in about the same place for the whole week. We’re looking at a range of 80s to 90s highs and 70s lows. ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©Click Orlando News 6 …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©WESH 2 News Remember to always check in on the weather before you head out every morning. Florida weather is DEFINITELY subject to change! Click here to see the essentials you need for your park bag! Tips for Weathering the Weather! We’ve got you covered with some tips to help you out with next week’s weather! Stay comfy and safe in the sun! Even if this week has lower UV levels than weeks past, you still might be in the sun a LOT more than you usually are. You’ll need to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and sunglasses, and take a break when you’re feeling too hot. FREE water at the Hub! You might be surprised how easy it is to get dehydrated or deal with heat sickness when you’re walking MILES around a theme park in the hot sun — even with a brief reprieve of rain! Everywhere to get FREE water in Disney World now Get ready for rain! Speaking of rain, you need to be prepared for a sudden shower!

Many Disney movie releases have been pushed waaay back due to the pandemic. Mulan Preview The premiere of Mulan was delayed, which caused a ton of other movies on Disney’s release schedule to shift, like the upcoming Jungle Cruise film.
