Disney LOVES a theme as the seasons and holidays roll around. Watermelon Dole Whip Slice Just about everyyything is pumpkin in the Fall and we can’t get enough of trying out new Dole Whip creations. Sometimes the themed treats are amazing, while other times they miss the mark. Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of desserts giving us summertime vibes, like the Trilo-Bites Twist in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and now, there’s another treat over at Disneyland for the season! Introducing the Watermelon Seasonal Apple in Disneyland! Looks just like a watermelon! You can get it for $11.99 over at Trolley Treats in Disney’s California Adventure. The detailing ex*seeds* our expectations It’s a Granny Smith apple with caramel, white chocolate and watermelon flavored coating, and marshmallow ears. And you can most definitely taste the watermelon! Take a bite! The summer fruit adds a different flavor than your usual caramel apple combo, and it’s nice! But if you don’t like watermelon, this is not for you! We first spotted this treat back in 2019, but this is our first time trying it. Do you think this apple is Evil Queen approved? The drawback with the apple, like almost all Disney caramel apples, is that it’s really hard to eat. It’s sticky, messy, and not a very convenient snack to dig into while you walk around the parks! We also think they’re overpriced for what you get. Interesting cross section However, the treat is pretty and festive for the summer! If you want to try an unusual flavor combination and love caramel apples, go ahead and grab it! We’ll keep you updated if we see any other watermelon treats around the parks, so stay tuned to DFB!

We’ve been sipping our way around Walt Disney World today (well, this week really)! La Cava del Tequila We tried a new secret menu item over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort yesterday, and today we got adventurous and went for something a bit spicier at Disney’s Riviera Resort. And, of course, we also had to return to one of our favorite spots to grab a sip when visiting EPCOT — La Cava del Tequila. And, let us tell ya, their drinks don’t disappoint! On our visit today, we found not one, not two, but THREE new drinks! So, being the sensible Disney drink tasters that we are…we got them all. First up was a new drink that made its way onto the menu this past month — the Spicy Mentirosa. This is a non-alcoholic option that is made with Lyre’s Italian Orange, Non-alcoholic Lyre’s Dry London, lime juice, cucumber and jalapeno juice, agave nectar, and a hibiscus salt rim for $13. And, it sure does have a kick! We found it to be spicier than the El Diablo with a light citrus taste, making it a great pick for all-you spicy drink fans (like us!). The only thing we might change in the future is ordering a Mezcal shot to pour on top! Spicy Mentirosa When we were ordering our drink, the Cast Member also told us about a newer secret menu item that has arrived just in time for the summer called the Virgin Colada. This non-alcohol drink is an island oasis mix blended with ice and costs $10.64. If you’re looking for a sweet refreshing drink, then this is it! We tasted a lot more pineapple than we did coconut from the mixture but we think this could still be a great option for kids or those who don’t drink alcohol and want a fun cocktail to help cool off on a warm summer day. Virgin Colada And, just when we thought “hmm…this Virgin Colada could really use a shot of liquor,” we found out that there is an alcoholic version of the Pina Colada on the secret menu! It is made with the same island oasis mix but is blended with a mixture of rum and pox (which is a Mexican liquor). Of course, the booze bumps the price of the drink up a little to $15.45. We picked up the same pineapple notes from the mixture, but the alcohol really cut through the sweetness of the drink. And, though we did enjoy this drink, we probably would opt for a signature margarita from La Cava del Tequila over the Pina Colada on any other day. Pina Colada All in all, it was nice to find some new non-alcoholic drink options at this spot, and who doesn’t love a secret menu item, right? While kiddos probably won’t enjoy the Spicy Mentirosa, the Virgin Colada offers a fun alternative to the traditional drinks you can find at the restaurant. Plus, both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic options are delicious. Of course, we’ll continue to keep an eye out for new eats and drinks around Disney World, so stay tuned for more!

Things are constantly changing at Disney World. Sometimes those changes are big — like a change in mask policy. Anyone Up for a Ride? Other times, those changes are very small, but they could point to something bigger coming in the future. Today, we noticed a change that was made in the My Disney Experience app when it comes to wait times. The screenshot below from My Disney Experience is from just a few weeks ago — around the end of April. In it, you can see the wait times listed for various rides in Magic Kingdom. Notice how the listing for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, for example, says “40 Minute Wait.” The others follow a similar format, the number and then the words “minute wait.” But now, something has changed. ©Disney Below is a screenshot we took just a few moments ago on the My Disney Experience app. Note how now the wait times for the Tomorrowland Speedway, for example, now shows as “5 Minute Standby Wait.” The other attractions follow this same formatting, showing the number and then the words “Minute Standby Wait.” ©Disney For now, all we’re seeing is this small change — the addition of the word “standby” to the wait times descriptions on the app. But, could this tiny adjustment be pointing to bigger changes coming down the line? Perhaps the reintroduction of FastPass+ or something else that would introduce wait times for queues other than standby lines? ©Disney At this point, Disney hasn’t made any statement to that effect, but we’re on the lookout for more details. Jungle Cruise FastPass Entrance FastPass+ remains suspended at this time and Disney hasn’t made any statements yet about the reintroduction of FastPass+. We’ve also seen a number of FastPass+ signs covered up in Disney World. We’re definitely on the lookout for any updates on this situation and we’ll let you know what we find. Click here to see why FastPass+ might not come back to Disney World as soon you think. Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

Listen, here at DFB, we feel like we’ve seen it all. We’ve seen our fair share of ride evacuations! Animatronics losing body parts in the middle of their shows? Seen it! Countless ride evacuations? Seen it! Parts of rides getting “inconspicuously” replaced with houseplants? Believe it or not, we’ve seen it. So today was just another routine day when we got stuck on a Disney World ride. However, this particular malfunction isn’t one we’ve come across before! We were in the middle of our “Power Test” on Test Track when our vehicle ran into a bit of a problem. We know what the speedometer sign says Disney, but this sure doesn’t feel like we’re going 60 miles per hour. We literally were stopped on the Test Track curve. We’re kinda glad that the whole design-your-own-car thing is still unavailable because if it were, our results would be: Capability — good, Efficiency — good, Responsiveness — good, Power — downright abysmal. Not the best score we’ve ever received. Doesn’t look like we’re going to score very well. But, on the bright side, we can enjoy the lovely view while we’re hanging out up here…isn’t that parking lot just magnificent?! Wow! So Beautiful! And even though the ride has stopped, we can still imagine that we’re moving considering the fact that we’re all leaning very hard to the left. Who needs ab day at the gym when gravity and Test Track can do the work for you? Feel the burn from trying to sit up straight! Usually, we have to lay out by the pool during our trip to get that post-vacation glow, but we think we’ll be nice and tan by the time that we’re done here. Even that Florida sun is pitching in and helping out! We’re gonna be nice and tan once this is over. But in all seriousness, getting stuck on a Disney World ride can be really fun, as long as you keep a positive attitude. It’s definitely an experience we won’t forget! A few minutes after the stop, we slowly resumed and finished the rie. It’s definitely a unique experience! Stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates from the Disney World parks.

Laniwai, A Disney Spa, sounds like a dream with a gorgeous menu of massages and facials and a large hydrotherapy garden! A heated stone massage followed by a pedicure and some time in the soaking pool?

But soon we can enjoy all the spa has to offer — and some new spa options as well! The official opening day is June 15! Guests will need a reservation, and those also open June 15th. You can make reservations at DisneyAulani.com! ©Disney Like most re-opening services, Laniwai will have health and safety measures to keep guests safe, such as physical distancing and extra cleaning procedures. You will need to wear a face covering at the spa. ©Disney Some of the spa treatments you can find at Laniwai include various massage therapies (like a traditional Hawaiian massage), herbal body remedies, facials, mani/pedis, and family treatments. You can even be wrapped in avocado for a “soothing and healing” skin treatment! We’re not 100% sure we want to be soaked in avocado…but a mani/pedi sounds great. ©Disney In addition to the already-luxurious menu of spa treatments, Laniwai added a few new options, including an anti-aging LED mask and a foot massage!

Sometimes there are moments in Disney we just can’t help but laugh at, especially when they involve some of our favorite characters! Donald is a… plant? Who can forget the time Anna’s ENTIRE face was missing on Frozen Ever After, or when John lost his hand on Carousel of Progress to the terror of everyone? These moments just remind us that not even Disney is perfect! We recently saw another funny sight involving a Disney character that made us crack up. You HAVE to see what we found in EPCOT recently! Snow White‘s topiary in the Germany pavilion had a little visitor! The first Disney princess looks very unconcerned, but she’s totally having a Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap moment! It makes sense a lizard would hang out on Snow’s face since she is part plant here and has a thing for animals. But that music along with the zoom in is just too much to handle! You definitely have our attention, tiny lizard! We’re always on the lookout for other funny things in the parks, so stay tuned to DFB to stay updated on all the hilarious Disney moments!

We’re in the mood for somethin’ to drink! Disney’s Riviera Resort We’ve been trying lots of boozy sips around Disney World lately, from Dole Whip flights to questionable peach margaritas. But today, we’re heading over to one of our favorite spots on property, Bar Riva at Disney’s Riviera Resort, for a cocktail. Here, you’ll find the Speziato Riva! It’s $16 and is made with Patron Silver, Ancho Reyes Poblano, agave, lime, and gingerbeer. You’ll also get a tiny bit of muddled strawberry and half a slice of one on top! Speziato Riva First of all, you need to know that this drink is SUPER spicy. It’s SO spicy that the bartender made sure we were okay with that when we placed our order! If you don’t have a high tolerance for that heat, you probably won’t even want to try this. Speziato Riva The strongest taste was the poblano pepper from that Ancho Reyes Poblano. It’s probably the only flavor you’ll really notice! We did get muted notes of the spice from the gingerbeer, as well as a tinyyy bit of tequila as an aftertaste. Meanwhile, the strawberry was almost undetectable, and the lime and agave only contributed a VERY slight sweetness. This one has MAJOR spice! As you can imagine from all that, there’s a LOT going on in this drink. But it’s fun if you enjoy tequila and SPICE! Sure, the $16 price tag is a bit high — but it’s made with quality liquors, so we’d say it’s fair. Try this…if you dare! As a last note, we want to add that our drink was pink…even though the picture is yellow? We’re not entirely sure what caused that, but hey! Don’t be surprised if your sip is pink, too. If you think you’re brave enough to give this drink a try, head on over to Bar Riva! And stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news and reviews. Check Out Another Summery Sip in Disney World!

Hello from EPCOT, DFB friends! EPCOT We’re taking you with us as we visit the park for the latest in construction, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started! EPCOT Construction Updates We’ve been closely following the progress on EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious. And recently, we spotted a light being installed on one of the barges! More Harmonious construction! Disney hasn’t announced when this show will debut, but we’re keeping an eye out for any updates. Check Out the Latest Harmonious Construction! EPCOT Merchandise Updates We also noticed that the new “Arivederci Minnie Mouse” MagicBands have been restocked in the Italy Pavilion! It’s BACK! They cost $39.99 each, and there are only 500 of ’em. If you’ve got your eye on one, you’ll want to grab it soon! Take a Closer Look at These MagicBands! EPCOT Additional Updates It seems like rope drop has returned to normal in EPCOT. On our last few visits, guests were being held at the entrance of the park instead of trickling in a little bit at a time, as they’d been doing the last few months. That’s a LOT of people! This is more along the lines of what rope drop looked like pre-COVID. Still, we were let inside the park about half an hour before the official opening time. Check Out Photos and Videos from Our Experience Rope Dropping! We also spotted the newest PhotoPass spot in the park. Check out that Tiny World camera! It’s the new Magic Shot! Here’s what the Magic Shot looks like. ©Disney Pretty neat, right? Read More About the New Tiny World Magic Shot! And of course, what’s a trip to Disney World without running into some characters?! We saw Mary Poppins in the United Kingdom Pavilion… Hi, Mary Poppins! …and Scuba Mickey in the Seas Pavilion! It’s SCUBA MICKEY! He was greeting guests in full scuba gear to celebrate World Ocean Day. Check Out Our Encounter with Scuba Mickey! Social Distancing We spotted several social distancing changes throughout the park. At Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the American Adventure Pavilion, tables no longer have social distancing stickers — guests can sit at any of them. Regal Eagle And next door, rows are no longer blocked off at the American Adventure Show. All rows are open! The same is the case for the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along in the France Pavilion… Same here… …as well as Canada Far and Wide in (ya guessed it) the Canada Pavilion. We’ll keep an eye out for more changes like this in EPCOT and the other parks! …and here! And that wraps up our quick trip to EPCOT!

Read More About Big Thunder Mountain Railroad’s Closure! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Popcorn Carts The popcorn carts around the park are now advertising the Dumbo Refillable Popcorn Bucket! Dumbo Popcorn Bucket The bucket will cost ya $17, and any refills after are $2 each. Emporium It’s a good day to be a Stitch fan! In the Emporium, we spotted a Stitch journal for $19.99… Stitch Journal …and a Stitch MagicKeeper! Stitch MagicKeeper These little guys have the same technology as your MagicBand, but you can attach them to your bag and pull at ’em using a retractable string. They’re $29.99.

Guests can head on in to play before riding. If the line is long, they’ll be given a pager that will indicate when it’s their turn to hop aboard. You can also go inside to play and then leave without riding! Let chaos ensue! This is the first play area to reopen in Disney World — we’ll keep an eye out for any more. Learn More About This Play Area’s Reopening! Meanwhile, in Adventureland, the Bazaar was open to guests… The Bazaar Is Open Again! …and towards the front of the park, tables were set up INSIDE Casey’s Corner! This spot has remained closed since the park’s reopening, and we’re itching for it to welcome guests again. We see TABLES! We saw social distancing being further reduced in several areas around the park. At Galactic Gateway in Tomorrowland, there were no longer dots for families to stand on while they greeted Stitch or Buzz Lightyear. No more markers here… And nearby, social distancing dots were gone from the entrance to the Carousel of Progress. …or here! If you’re stepping in for a show, you’ll also want to note that rows are no longer blocked off inside the theater. Guests can sit in any row now. In Liberty Square, social distancing markers for guests boarding the Liberty Belle Riverboat had been reduced to 3 feet. Liberty Belle Riverboat Markers And lastly, the entrance and exit to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe have returned to normal.

Occasionally, something will go wrong in Disney World. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge There could be bad weather, a broken animatronic, or even a massive power outage that shuts down entire portions of a park! And over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was havin’ it rough this morning. Now, it’s not uncommon for Rise of the Resistance to temporarily close. And when it does, guests who are currently on or in line for the ride will be evacuated out. So what happens if you’re one of those people? Well today, we found out. Rise of the Resistance We were just about to board the Intersystem Transport Ship this morning when the ride closed and we were evacuated. Rise of the Resistance Evacuation A Cast Member escorted us back out into Galaxy’s Edge. Depending on where you are on the ride when you get evacuated, you may be directed backstage to exit. Time to head back to Galaxy’s Edge! While no reopening timeline was given for the attraction, we were given a FastPass to use on Rise of the Resistance at any time until 8PM tonight, when the park closes. We were given a FastPass to ride at any time later today. And as expected, Rise of the Resistance is currently showing that it is temporarily closed on the My Disney Experience app. ©Disney The evacuation process was smooth, and we did appreciate that FastPass that we can use on the ride upon reopening. (Do note, though, that FastPasses are not typically used on Rise of the Resistance — they’re only employed for rare circumstances like this one.). If you ever encounter a situation like this while preparing for your battle against the First Order, you can expect something pretty similar. However, we cannot guarantee that you’ll be given that FastPass. We’ll be back soon! We’ll continue to keep you posted with the latest Disney news. Stay tuned to DFB!

There are so many ongoing projects at Disney World right now that it’s hard to keep track of them all! There are a lot of construction walls at EPCOT right now! From hotels (like Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser) to restaurants (like Roundup Rodeo BBQ) to new rides (like the TRON Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), there’s going to be so much to check out in the future! And if you’re a big Moana fan, then you’ll definitely be anticipating the new attraction coming to EPCOT…BUT there’s something you need to know about it first. What Is Journey Of Water — Inspired By Moana? Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is a brand-new attraction coming to EPCOT! It was announced at the D23 convention in 2019. It’s part of the massive transformation of EPCOT, bringing new offerings to the Future World section of the park that was a bit outdated before it was demolished last year. Journey of Water Concept Art ©Disney Disney hasn’t shared very much additional information on the attraction, but we’ve been slowly gathering some details over the last two years. And if you think “attraction” means that we’ll be getting a Moana ride, well, we may have to disappoint you. So Is It A Ride? No, Journey of Water will not be a ride. According to Disney, it’s actually a “lush exploration trail” that allows explorers to “play with magical, living water.” We don’t know about you, but that sounds really fun! Journey of Water Concept Art as seen in The EPCOT Experience It’ll be a walk-through experience where guests will be able to interact with the water elements around them. You can currently see the concept art in action at the EPCOT Experience, where the attraction is described as a place where “water is alive and waiting to play.” When Will It Open? Last year when the Journey of Water poster was dropped on shopDisney, the description for the product included a grand opening date of 2021. This was the first we’d heard of an opening timeline, but the information was quickly pulled from the website. ©Disney Since then, Disney hasn’t shared anything else about when this might open. Many projects were delayed due to the pandemic, but we’ll be keeping an eye on construction progress in the park. At this time, a large portion of Future World has been demolished where the attraction is said to be located, but the construction is all happening behind walls. The buildings have been demolished in this area! However, the space left for the attraction isn’t incredibly big, so it looks like Disney may be required to do some creative design work to fit it in this area. Hopefully, the construction progress will soon go vertical and we’ll be able to see what’s going on! We can’t wait to experience this new attraction ourselves — it seems to be unlike anything Disney has done before!
