Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort And that means that we’re seeing attractions, restaurants, and hotels reopening all around property! We’ve been getting EXCITED to visit Tusker House again in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but now, it seems like we’ve got lots more to look forward to. Because Disney just announced that one of our favorite restaurants is officially reopening! ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is reopening on July 9th! That’s coming up SOON. This spot will serve all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast AND dinner — although, notably, character dining will not be available. However, a strolling musician will entertain you during dinner! ‘Ohana Breakfast eats include pineapple-coconut breakfast bread, Stitch waffles, and breakfast skillets. For dinner, enjoy platters of grilled beef steak, roasted chicken, and friend rice. And OF COURSE, that heavenly ‘Ohana Bread Pudding is making its return! Safe to say, we could NOT be happier. ‘Ohana Bread Pudding Disney is currently showing a menu for ‘Ohana online — and it’s missing those famous noodles. But don’t panic — this menu IS subject to change, so we could still see this fan-favorite eat return. ©Disney Bookings for this spot are available starting June 10th. You’ll want to reserve your table ASAP — we’ve got a feeling it’ll fill up fast. You can bet we’ll bring you a full review once ‘Ohana has officially reopened, so stay tuned to DFB!

It’s almost summer, friends! Tree of Life And we’re gearing up for the warm weather with plenty of colorful treats — including a few for Pride Month! But today, we popped by a sweet shop in Disney’s Animal Kingdom for some strawberry snacks. Zuri’s Sweets Shop offers a selection of cake pops, cupcakes, marshmallow wands, and more. And we noticed a new flavor has taken over some of these classic treats: strawberry! So of course, we snagged some eats, starting with a Strawberry Mickey Cookie. Strawberry Mickey Cookie This cookie is exactly what it looks like: a large, Mickey-shaped, strawberry-flavored sugar cookie with strawberry icing on top. You could definitely taste the strawberry in here, but it was yummy! It looks like a strawberry! We also snagged the Strawberry Krispy Treat. This one’s a strawberry-flavored Rice Krispy treat dipped in strawberry icing. It’s also coated in a crumb topping! Strawberry Krispy Treat This one looks like a strawberry shortcake, but the Cast Member we spoke with confirmed it’s not. But like the Mickey Cookie, it is strong on the strawberry! If you’re a fan of that flavor, you’d probably enjoy this. If not, we’d suggest you steer clear — there’s really no way to get around the taste. Both snacks were $5.49 apiece! This one was yummy! And if you just CAN’T get enough strawberry, you’ll find a few other treats behind the glass. There are strawberry marshmallow pops and cupcakes, too! Strawberry Marshmallow Pops This kinda reminds us of when pineapple took over Disney World a few months ago. We guess strawberry’s the newest trend! If you’re in the mood for a summery snack, head on over to Zuri’s Sweets Shop. As usual, we’re impressed by their cute and creative eats! And stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

Pretty much everyone needs photos at Disney, and the Disney PhotoPass Service places photographers all over the parks to capture the best photo opportunities, as well as “Magic Shots.” Magic Shots are special and unique (and let’s be real, sometimes strange) photos that often include characters or items. We love how Magic Shots create fun photo memories and now there’s a chance to snap a new one! Pluto and a PhotoPass Photographer Disney announced today that Disney’s PhotoPass Service will be adding a NEW Tiny World Magic Shot at EPCOT! Disney’s PhotoPass Service is constantly adding new magic shots that make your park memories even more special, like these two new magic shots in celebration of Pride Month. One of our favorite magic shots are the unique Tiny World Magic Shots that let you feel like you’re the only people in Disney Parks. You can find the Tiny World Magic Shots near Star Tours in Disney’s Hollywood Studios… Tiny Magic Shot ©Disney …and near It’s Tough to Be a Bug at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. ©Disney And now you can also find them at EPCOT! The NEW Tiny World Magic Shot will be available near the main entrance of EPCOT, by the fountain, daily between noon to 6PM, weather permitting. ©Disney The new EPCOT Tiny World Magic Shot will be a great (and a bit weird) addition to the other Magic Shots available in the Disney Parks and another way to capture special Disney memories.

The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is one of our favorite times of the year. EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival Food and Wine is set to begin on July 15, 2021, and run through November 20, 2021. We already know the FULL list of food booths that will be at the festival this year and some of the featured entertainment. Now we’re getting a first look at some of the merchandise collections that will be featured at the festival this year! Disney releases a TON of event merchandise for Food and Wine each year. From apparel like a hat with a hidden bottle opener in the lid to trays that will hold your festival eats AND your wine! Usually, there are a few collections to go along with the festival, and we now know what merch collections to expect come July! ©Disney First up, we have a Festival Logo Collection that includes water bottles and stemless wine glasses from Corkcicle (the festival’s sponsor this year). The silver background definitely ties in the futuristic theming of EPCOT! ©disney And as we shared yesterday, they will also be releasing a souvenir Corkcicle at Shimmering Sips this year. ©Disney You can get all the details on this exclusive Food and Wine glass here. Say bonjour to the Belle Be Our Guest Collection! These items will feature characters like Belle, Chip, Lumiere, and Cogsworth. We should expect to see themed apparel in the collection and even measuring cups (here’s hoping one of them’s Chip!). These pieces will be the perfect addition to any Beauty and the Beast fan’s kitchen! Don’t believe us? Ask the dishes! ©Disney The next collection is the Remy Shake Things Up Collection, which will be wine color inspired. Perfect to go along with some homemade ratatouille! The collection will feature Her Universe apparel, kitchen essentials, and an ornament. ©Disney There was a Remy collection last year as well! 2020 Passholder Hoodie The Apple Orchard Collection looks as sweet as apple pie! The items will feature Mickey and Minnie perfecting their apple pie recipe on pieces including a headband, spirit jersey, and pie dish! ©Disney Annual Passholders will yet again have their own collection for the festival! The Figment Passholder Collection will show our favorite purple dragon on everything from home decor to apparel. Characters from the other collections, like Belle, Mickey, Minnie, and Chef Remy, will have their own collectible Passholder tumblers. ©Disney We loved the Figment collection last year, so we are excited to see it again this year. 2020 Festival Plate Last but not least, one of our favorite festival activities, the Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt, is back again this year and will come with new merch! Complete the scavenger hunt around the World Showcase and the Global Marketplaces by finding the ingredient depicted in each Remy statue and matching the corresponding sticker to your map.

Did you know that there are TWO entrances to EPCOT? One way in, of course, is at the main entrance by Spaceship Earth that most guests are familiar with. The other entrance is way in the back of World Showcase called International Gateway! Welcome to EPCOT! Both of these entrances are available to guests each morning, so today we thought we would start our day from the back of the park! When we arrived, we noticed that a LOT of other guests had the same idea as us. Good morning, new friends! Like…a LOT of guests. A LOT of people had the same idea to show up at rope drop today! The crowd photos may look a little shocking and intense, but keep in mind that the International Gateway entrance is where you’ll enter EPCOT from if you travel to the park via the Disney Skyliner. This back entrance is also steps away from Disney’s Beach and Yacht Club Resorts, as well as Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. So, there are a lot of resort guests that can easily access the International Gateway in the morning! Look at how long this line stretches! Despite the fact that EPCOT’s posted park hours are 11AM-10PM, we noticed the rope drop procedures around 10:30AM. We were able to head right to Soarin’ before the official park opening time and we were on the ride by 11AM. Earlier this year, Disney World announced that they would offer “Early Theme Park Entry” to their resort guests, giving them an extra thirty minutes in the park each day. But by the looks of it, any guest looking to visit EPCOT is able to start their day well before the posted opening time. EPCOT International Gateway Entrance If you have a Disney World vacation coming up and are considering entering EPCOT via International Gateway, just keep in mind that your day can start a little earlier than what’s posted on the calendar! Just be prepared for some crowding initially as you enter.

We’re gearing up for a HOT summer in Disney World! It’s gonna be a HOT summer! And if you’ll be in the parks, you’ll want to prepare for crowds and pack plenty of sunscreen. But one of our top tips for staying safe in the summer is to make sure you stay hydrated. Disney has previously offered FREE cups of water in the parks, and we’re here today with an updated guide on where to find ’em! Before we dig into where to get that free ice water, we’ve got a note on Quick Service restaurants. Before the parks reopened, you could pop into any Quick Service spot and ask for that cup of water. Now, due to capacity restrictions, Cast Members will not let most people inside indoor locations just for water. This could change sometime soon, as we have seen many changes happening around the parks. But for now, if you have a Mobile Order at that location, you WILL still be able to get that free cup — just ask for it when you pick up your food! Otherwise, the Cast Member at the door will likely direct you to the closest alternative location (which we’re listing below). Now, let’s get started! Magic Kingdom There are a few outdoor carts where you’ll be able to snag that water: at Joffrey’s kiosks as well as the popcorn carts on the Hub (the area around Cinderella Castle). Just keep in mind that other popcorn carts around the park do not have free ice water — they only sell it bottled. FREE water at the Hub! You can also ask for a cup at Main Street Bakery (that’s the Magic Kingdom Starbucks!), Sleepy Hollow Refreshments, Westward Ho Refreshments, and Sunshine Tree Terrace. Water at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments Lastly, in Fantasyland or Tomorrowland, swing by Storybook Treats, Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, Friars Nook, or The Lunching Pad! Auntie Gravity’s has water, too! And as we mentioned, remember that you can always ask for free cups of water to go with your Mobile Order. EPCOT At EPCOT, you can hydrate at any Joffrey’s location, Traveler’s Cafe (again, the park’s Starbucks), or the fruit cart by the Land Pavilion. Water in a Joffrey’s cup?! Over in the World Showcase, head to Refreshment Outpost, Yorkshire County Fish Shop, Fife and Drum Tavern, Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie, Sommerfest, Kringla Bakeri og Kafe, and La Cantina de San Angel. Free Water in EPCOT Just note that you cannot find free water at any of the Festival booths around the park — they only sell bottles of Dasani. Hollywood Studios On to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! First of all, you’ll be able to find trays at the front of 2 Quick Service restaurants: PizzeRizzo and Backlot Express. Just pop inside and grab your cup of water! We’ve also seen them out sometimes at ABC Commissary, but not consistently. Trays of Water at Backlot Express Elsewhere, you can get water at the parks’ Joffrey’s locations and The Trolley Car Cafe (the Starbucks), as well as KRNR The Rock Station, The Market, Woody’s Lunch Box, and Epic Eats. That’s a LOT of water! Recently, we also noticed that Backlot Express has started offering a self-serve water station outside the restaurant, instead of those trays inside. Self-Serve Water Stations We’ll be sure to let you know if we see these popping up anywhere else around the parks. Self-Serve Water Stations Make sure to take full advantage of these offerings and stay hydrated! Animal Kingdom Lastly, we’re stopping by Disney’s Animal Kingdom. As with all the other parks, you’ll be able to get free cups of water at all Joffrey’s kiosks and the park’s Starbucks (in this case, Creature Comforts). Creature Comforts Otherwise, you can grab a quick sip at Terra Treats, Tamu Tamu Refreshments, Mr. Kamal’s, Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe, Anandapur Ice Cream Truck, Trek Snacks, Dino-Bite Snacks, Trilo-Bites, Isle of Java, or The Feeding Ground. More free water! Notably, Pandora doesn’t offer any free cups of water except at Satu’li Canteen — but you’ll need to have placed a Mobile Order to get inside. Instead, you’ll find multiple water refill stations scattered throughout the land. Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Our top tip for getting the most out of these free cups of water is to bring your own reusable water bottle. You can empty the cups into your bottle and tote ’em around with you all day long! Then, when your bottle is empty, stop by one of these locations to refill it. These cups of ice water are often cooler and taste WAY fresher than what you’d get out of a water fountain.

1971 Opening Day Parade Performer Returns To Magic Kingdom | Walt Disney World Resort View the full article

We’ve been seeing slow changes back to “normal” in Disney World. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Lately, park capacity has been increased, social distancing has been reduced, and the outdoor mask requirement has changed. We’ve also seen smaller shifts, like the removal of hand-washing stations and the return of self-serve fountain drinks. And now, we’ve noticed another change. In case ya didn’t know, you’re able to get a free cup of water in Disney World by stopping by many outdoor locations or Quick Service restaurants! Usually, you’ll either pick up a cup of water from a tray or a Cast Member will pour one for you. Trays of Water at Backlot Express But when we stopped by Backlot Express in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, we noticed self-serve water stations! The jugs were outside of the restaurant, replacing the trays indoors. Self-Serve Water Stations Guests were able to pour their own cup of water (which, by the way, was nice and cold, even without ice). The Cast Member we spoke to explained that they were constantly bringing out more jugs so people could help themselves! Self-Serve Water Stations We saw self-serve water stations like this pre-COVID at select locations — but this is the first time one has popped up since the parks’ reopening. We stopped by a few other Quick Service spots in Hollywood Studios (like PizzeRizzo and ABC Commissary) to check out the situation, but so far, Backlot Express is the only one we’ve seen with this new system. We’ll keep an eye out, though, and keep ya posted! Check Out More Things That Are Back to Normal in Disney World! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

On Oct. 25, 1971, a 1,076-member marching band paraded down Main Street U.S.A in celebration of Walt Disney World Resort’s grand opening. With trombone in hand, Dave Phillips was among the marching musicians, stepping to the beat of “76 Trombones.” Nearly 50 years later, Dave returned to Magic Kingdom Park during the holiday season to walk down Main Street U.S.A once more, this time with his 5-year-old grandson, Gideon.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/PY3jsBMUA1k View the full article

Have you been thinking about taking a long-delayed vacation this summer? You aren’t alone. Demand for summer travel, specifically for Disney World, is on the rise as more people become fully vaccinated. Be prepared to see lots of new friends on Main Street, U.S.A. with you this summer! High demand will have an impact on both the cost of your trip and the experience you’ll have with crowds once you arrive at Disney World. Here’s how you can prepare for both of those scenarios! Prepare for higher travel costs and book ASAP! The price of airfare has steadily increased as more travelers feel comfortable getting on a plane, and that trend will likely continue into the summer. We’ve talked about the potential for airfare to increase in the coming months, so if you’re considering a summer trip to Disney World, book airfare NOW to lock in any rates that you find. Just made sure you read up on the airline’s cancelation policy! Orlando International Airport If you typically rent a car on your Disney World vacation, you’ll also need to prepare to pay more this summer. Like airfare, lock in your rental car rate ASAP. With more people looking to travel, demand for rental cars is skyrocketing. The result? Less available inventory and higher prices. Magic Kingdom entrance See where else you can save on your vacation, too! The savings certainly do not stop once you find good airfare rates. Disney always has some sort of deal going on, plus you can also consider staying at a lower level resort, take a shorter trip, don’t add on Park Hopper, etc. There are plenty of places to pinch pennies where you need to in order to splurge elsewhere (even if the “splurge” is on travel necessities like airfare!). Looking to travel to Disney World this summer? Click here to read about a new discount on your hotel reservation! Prepare for summer crowds! Once everything is booked and you’re ready to pack your bags, you’ll also need to prepare for all of the other guests traveling to Disney World this summer. We may already have a good idea of what to expect when you look back on Spring Break crowds. Keep in mind, that was before many guests had received a vaccine and possibly felt more comfortable to travel. That was also when capacity was capped at 35%. Since then, Disney has opened up capacity. Crowds! One of the most important things you can do to handle summer crowds is to book your Park Pass Reservations IMMEDIATELY. We’re talking the minute you book your vacation and you have your theme park tickets. You can always cancel or modify your reservations if your plans change, and they don’t cost a thing to book (aside from that initial massive cost of, y’know, buying the tickets!). However, they’re selling out quickly as summer approaches. We’re seeing guests wait a bit too long and end up with all 4 parks completely booked at times! Don’t get locked out of your favorite park, book NOW. Anyone else feel happy when they hear the sound from your park pass scan? Keep in mind that some of the ways we would typically deal with crowds in the past are still unavailable, including FastPass+ and Extra Magic Hours. We’re anticipating the new hotel perk, Early Theme Park Entry, this summer but we’ve basically heard NOTHING about this perk since it was initially announced. Welcome to Hollywood Studios! If you decide to purchase Park Hopper, be sure to use that to your advantage! Look at the Park Pass Reservation availability calendars on Disney World’s website (and check our weekly updates!) as an indication of how busy a particular park may be that day. Park Hopping to All Four Parks! Also, don’t let the socially distanced queues scare you! They may look SUPER long, but lines are still moving at a decent pace. In general, the parks are still much less crowded than what we were used to seeing pre-closure; however, it can sometimes LOOK crowded so be mindful of your surroundings and practice safe social distancing. Pirates of the Caribbean queue We also recommend you allow for extra travel time if you plan on using Disney’s complimentary transportation. Because of social distancing, we’re still experiencing reduced capacity (and therefore longer wait times) for the buses, the Monorail, and the Disney Skyliner. Click here for our tips on dealing with Disney World on busier days. Traveling to Disney World this summer will look very different than last summer. Last summer, of course, was right after the parks reopened (who else remembers how eerily empty it felt with five-minute waits for Flight of Passage?). This summer, expect lots of travelers to look to return to their favorite destinations that perhaps they skipped out on last year, like Disney World. That could mean higher prices for travel and higher crowd levels in the parks. If you go into your trip prepared, you won’t be caught off guard and can go with the flow more easily!

Oh boy have we got somethin’ to share with you today. Tree of Life We’re always down for a good laugh here at DFB. We’ve showed ya some of our unfortunate mishaps in Disney World, random Dole Whip sightings that amuse us, and even the comically sad tale of lost Mickey balloons. But what we’ve got in store today…well, it just may take the cake. We were minding our business on Twitter when we stumbled across a GEM. User @caseyfeigh was showing off his 3-year-old niece’s birthday cake! But this isn’t any ol’ birthday cake, mind you. This is a Lion King-themed birthday cake. And instead of depicting Simba and Pumbaa or maybe even Zazu, this kiddo chose a far more…interesting scene. Yes, friends. You saw that right. This little genius put Mufasa dying on her birthday cake, so everyone would be SAD and she would get the cake ALL to herself. Now, this seems like a pretty solid strategy to us — and we certainly encourage cake consumption here at DFB. And we, too, will use whatever means necessary to ensure we get a proper serving size of said sweet treats. Let’s zoom in on that beauty! | @caseyfeigh on Twitter A work of art, right?! It’s even got the rocks from the stampede! And little Leona sure does look pleased blowing out the candles, doesn’t she? This cake for SURE wins an award. We don’t know what kind…but it wins somethin’. @caseyfeigh on Twitter Props to you, Leona — you kinda won the Internet today. If she’s thinkin’ this strategically at 3, we can’t WAIT to see what her 4th birthday cake will look like.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Hey friends, it’s DFB here with breaking news: Florida is hot! That Florida sun can be brutal! Yeah, we know that the fact that Florida is sweltering in the summer isn’t exactly new information, but it’s something that we all need to be reminded of before those months roll around. It rains nearly every day of the summertime and, many days, the heat index soars into the triple digits, which may not be something that you’re prepared for if you’re traveling from outside the south. So how do you survive? How do you make sure you’re not miserable all day long? We’re sharing our tricks with you today! Cooling Towels If you want an easy, portable, cost-effective way to beat the heat, you’re going to want to invest in some cooling towels. These little doodads are great — you just wet them, wring them out, hang them on your neck, and voila…you’re feeling better already! Disney sells them too, but save money and buy them ahead of time! You can buy them at Disney World, but they’re going to be more expensive than you would get at home or online (no surprise there!). We found a pack of four on Amazon for $14.99 which is perfect for the whole family! These come in four different colors, have individual bags with carabiner clips for easy storage, and have nearly a 5-star rating. ©Amazon Get you a couple of these and you’ll be set — even on the hottest of days. Click Here to Shop These Cooling Towels! Handheld Fans Similar to the cooling towels, these are great for cutting the heat and helping you cool off! Handheld fans come in a variety of types, including those that clip onto strollers or have misting features. For some, they’re pretty much a necessity if you’re standing outside in a long queue! These little fans look like snacks! This fan that we found has nearly 5 stars with 14,000 ratings online. It has a handle that can fold up into a stand to sit on a desk or table, and it’s rechargeable with a USB! You can buy it now through Amazon Prime for $13.98. ©Amazon Combine this fan with the cooling towel, and you’ll feel like you’re inside in the AC in no time! Shop the Handheld Fan on Amazon Here! Water Bottles You know what’s one of the most important things to remember during the summer at Disney World? STAY HYDRATED! Dehydration is a pretty quick way to become miserable in the heat, but there’s a solution. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages into the parks, so you can stash some bottles of water in your bag if you like. We also highly recommend packing a water bottle to refill throughout the day! Why? Simple — FREE WATER. (How many things in Disney World are legit free??) Check out our DFB Purple Wall Water Bottle! There’s an insulated bottle that we found on Amazon with great ratings and three different lids so you can put it together whichever way is convenient! It comes in 6 sizes and 23 colors, so you can customize them for each person in your family. Order it now for $23.95! ©Amazon If you want something a bit more Disney, then make sure to check out our collection of Disney-themed bottles on the DFB store! See All the DFB Water Bottles Here! Hair Ties/Scrunchies For ladies or the longer-haired gents, we get it. You get ready in the morning. You lookin’ good. Then a couple hours later your hair is a sweaty mop you’re seriously contemplating shaving off while in line in Magic Kingdom. In the morning, it may feel like a good day to wear your hair down, but by the time the hot and sticky afternoon rolls around, you’ll want your hair off your neck. What’s a stylish and practical way to fix that? Disney scrunchies! ©Disney We found two sets of scrunchies on shopDisney that are perfect for your summer vacation. You can pick up the Mickey and Minnie Mouse Tropical Hair Scrunchies or the Animal Kingdom Scrunchie Set for $14.99 each. Even if they’re not in your hair, these would be really cute as an accessory on your wrist! SCRUNCHIES! And you know what else scrunchies are perfect for? Putting your hair up so that it doesn’t get ridiculously tangled while you’re enjoying the faster rides! Fighting with tangled, wind-blown hair each night? No good. Shop the Scrunchies Online Here! Hats Hats are an easy way to keep the sun both out of your eyes and off your face. And if you’re not a “Minnie ear person” then they’re a great way to rep a little extra Disney with a classic accessory! ©Disney Two of our favorite Disney hats online right now are the Walt Disney World Baseball Cap for Adults (we love the retro look!) and the Mickey Mouse Baseball Cap by Nike. Both practical, both stylish, both will match a ton of outfits! ©Disney And ya know what’s great about hats? You don’t even have to do your hair. Click Here to Get Yourself a Brand New Hat! Sunglasses And speaking of sun protection, you gotta look out for your eyes too! Did we mention how insanely bright the sun is on a summer day in Florida? ©Amazon We found two pairs of sunglasses online that we had to share! There’s this pair on Amazon with great ratings and a pretty straightforward look for $14.99. Or, you could go with this red and white polka-dotted pair for $11.99 if you like that Minnie style! ©Amazon Either way, you may not want to bring the most expensive sunglasses you own to Disney. Believe us, it’s really easy to lose things in the parks! Shop Some New Sunglasses Here! Chafing Prevention Last but not least, let’s talk about something that may be a tad uncomfortable both physically AND to speak about — chafing. When you’re hot and sweaty, it happens. BUT, it doesn’t need to make you miserable in Disney World! ©Amazon If you’re wearing a dress to the parks, a pair of slip shorts is a MUST. Check out this pair from Amazon for $13.99. And no matter what you’re wearing, we definitely recommend investing in a chafing stick. It’s basically like a stick of deodorant but instead of deodorant, it’s silky smooth chafing protection you can apply on the go. The brand of choice for our team tends to be MegaBabe — it works like a charm! ©Target Get these products and you won’t be waddling uncomfortably at the end of the day…that’ll make you miserable real fast! Order a Chafing Stick Here! That’s our list of must-haves to make sure you’re not miserable on one of those sweltering Florida days!
