Slowly but surely, as Disney World tiptoes back to normalcy, mandates are being tweaked and removed throughout the resorts and the parks. New Face Mask Policy Things are also happening at Disney pools! We just noticed a BIG change that will make your next swim feel pretty different! As Disney World’s resort pools reopened, the biggest change was with pool chairs…or lack thereof. Fantasia Pool What minimal chairs Disney put out were spaced far apart to enable social distancing, but just this weekend we noticed that pool chairs are looking a lot more like pre-pandemic times! Lots more chairs! At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, it was abundantly clear: pool chairs are back in FULL EFFECT! Pool chairs are back We haven’t seen this many chairs since the before times! Plenty of options Small groups of chairs are now spaced MUCH closer together, with larger gaps here and there for separate families. Slight gaps We saw the same thing at recently reopened All Star Movies Resort, with lots more chairs spaced closer together! Pool chairs at All Star Movies Disney still has signs up reminding guests not to move the chairs. Pool chairs aplenty However, apparently not ALL Disney pools are like this nowadays. When we stopped by the Polynesian, we saw that the minimal pool chair situation was still in place. No big changes at the Polynesian yet And signs are still prominently displayed, enforcing social distancing. Still social distancing Seeing this sea of pool chairs is yet another reminder that things are returning to the way things were, and we’ll continue to update you on the latest Disney World policies. If you need us, we’ll be chilling by the pool! A Fan-Favorite Pool Reopens in Disney World Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

Wow! WHAT. A. MONTH. Magic Kingdom It seems that every month that passes has more and more BIG news. In this month alone, we saw major health and safety measures phase-out, a fan-favorite show came back, and we got information on what Halloween will look like at Disney World this year! So let’s dive into the BIGGEST updates from May in Disney World! Masks Are Optional Outdoors Face mask policies have been slightly changing in Disney World since it reopened in July of 2020, but this month there was a HUGE change! Following the change that guests could take off their face masks for outdoor photos, Disney World now allows guests to be maskless in outdoor areas (with a few exceptions). New Signs in Disney World from May 2021 The rule change happened VERY quickly, so we’ve been showing you what we’ve experienced in the park. Guests must put their face mask back on when entering shops or restaurants, and keep them on while indoors. In the extended queues for attractions, we’ve seen guests with masks off, but as soon as they enter the “real” line under the entrance sign, masks must go back on. Main Street, U.S.A. This new policy means that you no longer have to be stationary to eat and drink around the parks. Universal Orlando has also removed its mask policy for fully vaccinated people allowing them to be maskless throughout the parks, both indoors and outdoors. Disney World has not yet made this announcement, but it could be coming in the near future. See the new mask policy in action at Disney World Boo Bash Is Replacing Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party In the beginning of the month we celebrated Halfway to Halloween with some new Gideon’s treats and spooky chocolate snacks, but we also got a MAJOR update on what Halloween will look like in Disney World this year! Who’s ready for Halloween? Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will NOT be returning in 2021. Before you get too upset, the fan-favorite event will be replaced with a new after hours event called Disney’s After Hours Boo Bash! Boo Bash ©Disney Just like the previous Halloween party, this will require a separate ticket for entry into Magic Kingdom. It will run select nights starting on August 10th, 2021 through October 31st, 2021. Tigger Wearing a Costume, Too! The event will feature character interactions throughout the park, Halloween-themed character cavalcades, performances from the Cadaver Dans, and special treat stations. Plus, ALL guests can wear their Halloween costumes! Tickets are pricey and will go on sale in June. You can read more about Boo Bash ticket pricing here. Here’s the Difference Between the Two Halloween Events in Disney World! Physical Distancing Is Starting to Disappear Along with mask policies, physical distancing has also changed in Disney World. We’ve seen physical distancing markers being removed all over property, and Disney announced that they were reducing distancing measures. Social Distancing Sign This comes after a study that suggested theme parks could reduce social distancing guidelines. Previously, Disney World’s website contained an image regarding physical distancing with two individuals and the words “6ft 2m” between them… ©Disney …but now the area between them is blank. We’ve seen that same part covered on signs in the parks. The language on the website also changed to say Disney “will reduce physical distancing measures for Guests across many areas with a gradual, phased approach.” ©Disney We’ve also seen distancing markers removed from the Transportation and Ticket Center… Distancing Markers Are Being Removed from Select Locations …park entrances… Markers removed from entrance …and attractions. Pre-Show Room of Rise of the Resistance Several shows have also changed their seating to allow more guests into the theater. Most shows are no longer skipping rows and are telling guests to leave one seat between them and other parties. Festival of the Lion King We’re in the Disney World theme parks every day, and it seems that each day, there are fewer and fewer markers. We’ve even seen them removed from some tables in outdoor eating areas. Disney still encourages guests to distance from one another, but the 6 feet of distancing seems to be in the past in Disney World. Check Out More Photos Of the Distancing Measures in Disney World Right Now Festival of the Lion King is BACK Live entertainment has been scarce since Disney World reopened, but we have seen the return of shows like A Frozen Singalong Celebration. In January we learned that a show would be returning in the summer, and then learned it would reopen in mid-May. Now, the Festival of the Lion King is BACK at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and we couldn’t be more excited! Celebration of The Festival of The Lion King Festival of the Lion King had a soft reopening before its official reopening on May 15th, and is now back under the name A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King! Dancing birds! There are a few differences in the show compared to the pre-closure version, but the heart is still the same and all of your favorite The Lion King songs are in there. On your next visit to Animal Kingdom, be sure to check the show times and line-up early to guarantee yourself a seat! Festival of the Lion King Has Returned in Disney World — Here’s How It Changed Temperature Checks Are Gone One of the first health and safety measures to disappear this month was temperature checks. Ever since Disney World reopened last year, guests have had to go through a temperature check to enter the parks, Disney Springs, restaurants, and more. Now, temperature checks have been phased out completely. Transportation and Ticket Center Temp Check We’ve seen the tents still up in front of the parks, but guests no longer have to stop. Before this change Dr. Pino, the Director of the Florida Department of Health in Orange County, stated that the use of temperature checks is not recommended right now. Empty! The CDC also conducted a report that showed temperature checks may be ineffective at identifying COVID-19 cases. When you visit Disney World next, this is one thing you will no longer have to do. Learn more about temperature checks phasing out in Disney World Update With Transportation Replacing Disney’s Magical Express In case you missed it, Disney’s Magical Express that takes Disney World Resort guests to and from Orlando International Airport is being discontinued as of January 1st, 2022. BUT, there is a NEW transportation option that will essentially offer the same service to guests! Disney’s Magical Express Mears Connect is set to debut in January of 2022 and reservations were set to open in May of 2021. Now, Mears updated their website to say that reservations were coming in “summer 2021” and that it will be “accepting reservations soon.” ©Mears We’ll be on the lookout for an exact date that you can make reservations so that those of you traveling to Disney World in 2022 can schedule your airport transportation! New Transportation Will Replace Disney’s Magical Express The Disney College Program is Returning With the park closures, the Disney College Program was temporarily suspended. Then the program was canceled through the fall of 2021. But now, Disney has announced that the Disney College Program is returning! ©Disney In March, Disney indicated that they wanted to bring back the program in 2021, and now applications are open! With resuming the program comes some changes as well. Disney announced that there will be gender-neutral housing option! College Program Pins The Disney College Program is officially welcoming back people starting in June. Apply now if you’ve wanted to be a part of this program! Here’s more information on applications for the Disney College Program NEW Star Wars Hotel Opening Timeline (Plus Sneak Peeks of a REAL Lightsaber!) The pandemic caused a LOT of Disney projects to be pushed off. One of these projects is the new Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser which is an immersive Star Wars hotel! This month, thanks to May the Fourth, we got some amazing news about the new experience coming to Disney World! Crown of Corellia Dining Room Concept Art ©Disney First of all, we got a new opening timeline for the Star Wars Hotel! It was previously set to open sometime in 2021, but now the website says that it will open in 2022. We’ve been watching the progress from the outside, but we don’t know how far along it has come on the inside yet! ©Bioreconstruct via Twitter (@bioreconstruct) We also got a closer look at the REAL lightsaber coming to the Star Wars Hotel! We first saw the saber in April, but Disney announced that it would specifically be coming to the Galactic Starcruiser. ©Disney We even found some permits and broke down HOW Disney did it! Let’s just say, we can’t wait for this hotel to open! Wanna Know How Disney’s REAL Lightsaber Works? A New Gelato Stand Opened in EPCOT In the past year, we’ve seen plenty of Disney World restaurants reopen, but there are not many NEW restaurants opening! We know that La Creperie de Paris in EPCOT’s France pavilion will open on October 1st, but World Showcase got a new snack spot this month! Gelateria Toscana We’ve been watching the progress on the gelato stand in the Italy pavilion for a while, but it officially opened as Gelateria Toscana! The Spread! The new restaurant serves up sweet treats like gelato, smoothies, cannolis, and more! It’s an adorable little stand, and now gives you another place to stop when you eat around the world. Check Out Our FULL Review of Gelateria Toscana Here! A DFB Cocktail Made It Onto a Disney World Menu Here at DFB, we love secret menu items and unique eats, but we also love to create our own snack hacks! And one of our DFB Dole Whip hacks officially made the menu in Disney World! The Original Spiked Kakamora! We LOVE the Kakamora Float over at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom, and in February we made our own spiked version of the float thanks to the incredible bartenders at the Barefoot Pool Bar in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We landed with a Parrot Bay coconut rum, pineapple juice, piña colada mix, and blue curaçao creation. The only thing that was missing was real Dole Whip! Wow, she’s a beaut. When we visited this month, we found The Voyager on the menu — also known as the Spiked Kakamora Float! The new drink was made with Parrot Bay coconut rum blended with cream of coconut and pineapple juice, layered with pineapple Dole Whip and blue curaçao. Yep, this one had classic pineapple Dole Whip! And now we’re officially on island time! It tasted like a tropical dream, and we were so excited to see one of our creations join the menu (with the help of some awesome Cast Members). Be sure to check it out if you visit Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! Read our full review of the Spiked Kakamora Float! 3 Restaurants Reopen/Get Reopening Dates And last but not least, 2 restaurants reopened this month and 1 got a reopening timeline! Chef Mickey’s has been open for breakfast with characters, but as of May 16th, the popular restaurant offers dinner with Mickey and friends! MICKEY! Disney’s Beach Club Resort has been partially open for a while now, but it fully reopened to all guests on May 30th! But just before that, Cape May Cafe reopened! We showed you a first look at the restaurant after its very long closure, and we had both breakfast AND dinner there. Cape May Cafe has reopened! Tusker House Restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has also been closed for a very long time, but we now have a reopening timeline! Disney announced that character dining will return to Tusker House sometime this summer. Tusker House We don’t have an exact date yet, but we’ll let you know when it is announced! REVIEW: We Ate TWO Meals in One Day At Cape May Cafe in Disney World and We’re Not Mad About It And that’s a wrap on the month of May!

We love an over-the-top pair of Minnie Ears in Disney World! There’s just something that feels so *right* about wearing pizza as an accessory, ya know? But sometimes, simplicity wins the day. Pizza Ears! As with the newest pair of Minnie Ears we spotted at Animal Kingdom Lodge today, which stole our hearts without many bells or whistles! We’ve seen lots of EXTRA Minnie Ears in Disney World lately, including tropical ears, bejeweled ears, and ears that make us crave donuts! Don’t these look delicious?! But this newest pair might be one of our recent favorites! And there aren’t even any donut sprinkles on it! They’re MINT ears, and we spotted them at Johari Treasures in Animal Kingdom Lodge! And what a TREASURE they are! Mint Minnie Ears! Simple and pretty, they’re covered in the soft pastel-like green pattern. Mint Ears The ears sparkle with minty sequins! Shimmering! And that satin-like bow is a real show-stopper! Fluffy and fresh! Peep that bow! It just goes to show that sometimes a good color scheme (and a huge bow) is all you really need! You can snag a pair of minty Minnie Ears from Johari Treasures today for $29.99! PHOTOS: Disney World’s New Pink Minnie Ears Are ICONIC!

Calling all breakfast fans, we have some great news! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge While the Disney World parks have been reopened for almost a year, some restaurants around the Resort are still temporarily closed. One restaurant that still has yet to reopen is Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Prior to the closure, Boma offered buffet-style dining for guests at both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast buffet was home to a number of popular items, including the French Toast Bread Pudding. If you’re missing the French Toast Bread Pudding as much as we were, we have good news — it’s now BACK at a different Animal Kingdom Lodge restaurant! French Toast Bread Pudding at Boma That’s right, we spotted the French Toast Bread Pudding available on Mobile Order at The Mara, a quick service restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge! French Toast Bread Pudding on Mobile Order Even though we were able to Mobile Order it for breakfast this morning, it wasn’t listed on the menu at the restaurant. Menu at The Mara Of course, we had to try the French Toast Bread Pudding at The Mara to see how it compares to the one served at Boma. And we’re happy to report that it tasted like the original we remember from Boma! French Toast Bread Pudding at The Mara Since it was only available on Mobile Order, it was served in a to-go box with the vanilla bean sauce on the side, but a Cast Member also provided us with a plate when we asked. French Toast Bread Pudding The bread pudding is stuffed with both regular and golden raisins and it was topped with crispy cinnamon sugar pieces. A Sweet Breakfast Treat! The side of vanilla bean sauce was the perfect amount to evenly cover the bread pudding. French Toast Bread Pudding Since the French Toast Bread Pudding wasn’t listed on the regular menu, guests walking by the restaurant might not even notice it’s there. But guests using Mobile Order can find it on the menu for $7.49. We’ll continue to be on the lookout for other menu changes around Disney World, so stay tuned for all the latest updates!

In recent years, especially since the parks reopened in the summer of 2020, technology has become a crucial part of the Disney World experience. From planning your vacation to checking into your hotel room to ordering food and beyond, there’s a variety of times where you’ll be relying on technology to make sure your trip is a success. Magic Kingdom While some of us are more tech-savvy than others, there are a few specific examples of times when technology can get the best of all of us! Luckily, most of these incidents just require a little bit of planning before your vacation so you can be prepared! Rise of the Resistance Boarding Groups This one is frustrating even for the most technologically advanced guests!! Since it first opened at Disney World in 2019, Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has used a virtual queue system for guests looking to experience the attraction. That means that you are required to obtain a Boarding Group if you want to ride — there is no standby line available. So, it’s really important that you know the ins and outs of getting a Boarding Group if you want any shot at experiencing this very cool ride! Rise of the Resistance The basic fundamentals in acquiring a Boarding Group involve having My Disney Experience downloaded and ready to go when the Groups are distributed, which as of this writing happens at 7AM and 2PM each day. You’ll want to make sure everyone in your party has their tickets linked to one another, and make sure your phone is running properly (restart your phone right before the Groups drop, close out of every other app, and turn off Disney’s notoriously horrible wi-fi). Get your finger ready to do some fast clicking as soon as the clock strikes! Hollywood Studios Unfortunately, getting a Boarding Group often comes down to luck and timing. We’ve tried seemingly a zillion times at this point and, while we do often secure a group, we still don’t always come out on top. The groups vanish in seconds and those precious milliseconds you’re clicking through the screens could mean the difference between getting to ride or not. Disney has made it more convenient over the past several months by allowing guests to be located inside or outside of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but nothing they have added necessarily improves your odds. Be ready right as the groups open up and hope for the best! Click here for our top tips to securing a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance Mobile Order Mobile Order was once a super convenient and lesser known method of “skipping the line” to get your food at counter service locations around Disney World. It was one of our favorite tips to share! Instead of waiting in loooong lines to order food, order, customize, and pay for your order from the comfort of your phone then stroll up and pick up your order. Easy peasy! Since the parks reopened, however, it has become the primary method of ordering and picking up your food — so a LOT of guests know about Mobile Order these days! Don’t know how to pull up Mobile Order? Check this sign out! Even if you’re a Mobile Order expert from before the closures, your challenge now may come down to simply finding a return window so you can pick up your food and eat! Those return windows fill up FAST now that so many people use Mobile Order. If you wait until noon to order lunch, you may not have available return windows until 2PM or later! There are usually multiple arrival windows to choose from! In order to avoid any difficulties with Mobile Order, know where you want to eat well ahead of time and place those orders early! We’re talking ordering lunch as you eat your breakfast in the park. Remember that you can select any open return window, so you can totally order your lunch and pick a 12:30PM return window early that morning. Click here for tips on how to get the MOST out of Mobile Order. My Disney Experience in General Disney World’s mobile app, My Disney Experience, can experience technical glitches from time to time, whether you’re trying to use Mobile Order or simply access a park map. Like any other app, it can crash, freeze, or be prone to the occasional bug. Disney World’s NEW MagicMobile app makes your phone a MagicBand! ©Disney The difference here, however, is that this isn’t like any other app — when you’re in Disney World, it’s kinda important that My Disney Experience works smoothly so you can access your reservations, secure Boarding Groups for Rise of the Resistance, and much more! Keep your eye on the app! ©Disney To avoid any potential issues, make sure the app is updated and you restart your phone if you experience any difficulties. Also make sure you’re running as few apps as possible in the background when you try to use My Disney Experience. If the app continues to act up, make sure that everyone in your party has access to the app and all of your reservations. That way, someone else can manage the app if it’s working on their phone. We’re big fans of screenshotting important info — dining reservations, boarding group info, and more. If something acts up in the app, you’ll have all this info handy. Screenshotting also helps when the app goofs up and could potentially ruin your plans! We’ve secured Rise of the Resistance boarding groups only to have them disappear in the app, dining reservations that we confirmed but are nowhere to be seen, and more. Showing a Cast Member screenshots can help them locate on their end your reservations or what happened. Click here to read about one of the newest functions to come to My Disney Experience – MagicMobile! The Virtual Waitlist for Gideon’s Bakehouse When it comes to must-have Disney World snacks, one of the newest arrivals on that list are the delicious cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse. These tasty treats have been immensely popular since this location opened at Disney Springs in late 2019. They’re so popular, in fact, that Gideon’s often has to use a virtual waitlist to manage the crowds! PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie The good news is that this is not a difficult waitlist to join, but you have to make sure you join if you want the goodies! Many guests think they can just stroll into Gideon’s and grab some cookies, but many days, they’ll be met with a crazy long, multi-hour wait in the virtual queue. The line tends to fill up by 7PM each day, so if you want those cookies, make sure you know how to join the queue. The line to enter Gideon’s can get pretty long! We recommend arriving to Disney Springs earlier in the day if you want to minimize the amount of time you’ll be waiting for Gideon’s. You’ll want to scope out a Gideon’s employee, who is typically stationed with a tablet right outside the entrance. Simply sign up with them, and you’ll receive a text when it’s your turn to come back and order! Note you can’t just get in the virtual queue and head to the parks or elsewhere though — once your spot in the queue is called you’ll need to head back in a reasonable amount of time to get in the line to get in (yep, you wait in a shorter real line after you wait in the VERY long virtual line!). Click here to read our full guide to the virtual waitlist at Gideon’s Bakehouse! Disney World’s Notorious Wi-fi One of the great perks to being on Disney World property is that they offer free wi-fi throughout the parks and resorts to ALL guests. However, while this is a nice free perk, it’s not the most reliable. Granted, it’s 2021 and pretty much every place you’d ever go seems to offer free wi-fi nowadays — and the wi-fi at your local grocery store or dentist probably works better than Disney’s! We actually recommend you NOT be on their wi-fi when trying to get a Boarding Group to Rise of the Resistance — your standard cell service will be more reliable! Don’t rely on the WiFi when you’re trying to get a Boarding Group! If you’re on a limited data plan, you may find it to be a bit challenging when working with Disney World’s wi-fi without having to rely on cell service. Just know ahead of time that you’re bound to run into a few hiccups along the way, or turn your wi-fi off briefly in those crucial moments, like getting a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group. You can also consider setting up a personal hotspot if you prefer! You Can Use Your Phone’s Camera to Scan the Code These days, it’s super important to know how Disney World’s technology works so you can have a smooth, effortless vacation. Tech glitches can make or break your day in the parks, and unfortunately they can happen from time to time! Be sure to read up on all of the features on My Disney Experience so you can navigate the app like a pro, and definitely remember to pack those portable phone chargers! Since you’ll likely be glued to your phone in the parks, you’ll want to keep that battery life up! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

On June 4th, we took you through the grand opening of Avengers Campus! It’s a good day! And boy it was a BUSY day. We’ve been chowing down on new eats, hopping aboard WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, and even checking out the brand-new merch! But now, we’ve got somethin’ pretty cool to show you over at Pym Test Kitchen. Pym Test Kitchen serves up wacky-sized eats and sips — including a MASSIVE $100 sandwich — and the menu looks super creative. One of the drinks up for grabs? An Enlarged Pingo Doce Soda Can! Now, if you’re wondering why a can of soda would cost ya $22.99…well, this thing is HUGE. GOOD GRIEF that thing is big! Inside, you can get Pingo Doce — ya know, the Marvel energy drink — or a soda of your choice. Of course, we had to try out the Pingo Doce! It wasn’t overly sweet, and overall we enjoyed it. If you ever visited Club Cool in EPCOT, it kinda reminded us of the Guarana Kuat drink that used to be there! Pingo Doce If you want to see our full review of PYM Test Kitchen, make sure to check that out below. And keep following along with DFB for all things Avengers Campus!

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, we’re sure you’ve heard LOTS of advice. Magic Kingdom It’s all well-meaning — and most of it is solid, too! But here at DFB, we’re constantly bringing you the latest Disney World tips. It’s what we do! That means we’ve heard the good and the bad and everything in between!. If you hear any of these 6 tips while you’re planning your vacation, do us a favor and don’t listen. We’ve got some better advice for you to follow instead! Then, you’ll be well on your way to crushing Disney like a pro. Try to Do It ALL in One Day When we say people try to do it all day, we really mean they try to do it ALL. People may advise you to spend a few hours at each park and try to get all 4 done in one day. Ever heard of the 4 parks, 1 day challenge? While you can technically visit all 4 parks in 1 day (and we’ve done it!), we definitely wouldn’t recommend it. Between travel and going through the security/turnstiles at each park, you’ve wasted a lot of valuable time. Not to mention, it’s much trickier to visit more than 2 parks now that you can’t Park Hop until after 2PM! Adventureland Here’s what we’d suggest instead: stick to 1 or 2 parks each day. If you only have 1 day in Disney World, really sit down and figure out which parks you can’t miss. You’ll have more time to explore what each park has to offer instead of rushing around trying to get to your next destination. Spaceship Earth Of course, if you’re up for the challenge, you can attempt to check out all 4 parks in 1 day! But it’s tiring, and you won’t be able to ride or do much. We wouldn’t recommend it for your average Disney visitor (or even for a seasoned pro unless you want to check that off your “Disney World Bucket List!”). Check Out How We Visited 4 Parks in 1 Day! Knock Out as Many Rides as Possible This well-intended tip is pretty similar: have you ever had someone lay out a full-blown strategy for you to maximize how many rides you can get on in a day? We have! And not only does it give us a headache — it’s STRESSFUL. Of course, people go to Disney for different reasons. If you’re there to experience the rides and the rides only, go for it! But we wanna give you a friendly tip that Disney has SO much more to offer. Yum! If you spend your whole vacation waiting in lines and riding things, you’ll miss out on some really cool experiences. Save time on your trip to watch the character cavalcades, visit the well-themed shops, explore walkthrough attractions, and even search for Hidden Mickeys! And of course, be sure to sample some food. You KNOW we’re all about that. Chip ‘n’ Dale! Now, it does help to have a ride strategy, especially with FastPass+ unavailable right now. We’ve laid out some advice on that for you here! With these handy tips, you’ll be well on your way to striking a good balance between rides and, ya know, everything else. Check Out Our Best Ride Strategy Without FastPass! Plan a Full Schedule of Table Service Reservations This one HURTS us, people. Sure, Disney World has some fantastic Table Service restaurants. But it’s overkill if you make a Table Service reservation for every meal of the day. First of all, Table Service meals take time! And if you’ve got 3 a day or even 2 a day, that starts to encroach on time you could be doing literally anything else. The Crystal Palace Secondly, when you’ve got too many of ‘em, these pricey meals are an easy way to break the bank. Table Service meals really add up, guys! A Hollywood & Vine breakfast, Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater lunch, and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano dinner averages to about $100 per adult — and that’s on the VERY conservative side! That’s almost the price of a 1-day ticket to the parks, which would cost ya $109! Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Plus, the LAST thing you want to be doing is walking around in the Florida heat, stuffed with food and dreading your next sit down meal just hours later, when you’ve gotta sit down and do it all over again. We’ll save you that suffering. Make 1 Table Service reservation per day, if that. You’ll thank us later. Jungle Skipper Canteen Sign And hey! With all that time (and space in your tummy) that you’re NOT at a sit-down meal, you’ll be able to try some of the other great food around Disney World! There are plenty of tasty snacks up for grabs, and they come and go so you always have new options. And of course, Quick Service meals are not to be underestimated. They’re fast, easy, and yummy! Check Out the Best Value Quick Service Restaurants of 2021! Arrive at Park Opening If You Want to Rope Drop Heard of rope dropping? This nifty little trick involves getting to the parks early (before scheduled opening) so you’ll have shorter lines early in the day. Get to the parks in the mornings for lower crowds! Unfortunately, even with the best of intentions, people tend to get rope drop wrong. They’ll arrive at 9AM for a 9AM park opening and be surprised when the lines are long to park…then getting in…then RIDE lines are already long too! But don’t worry. We’re gonna clue you in. If you’re planning on TRULY rope dropping, you’ll want to get to the parks WELL before they open. Rise and Shine, Tomorrowland! If you’re staying at a Disney hotel, hop aboard that transportation right when it starts running. That’s 45 minutes to 1 hour before opening. And if you’re driving, be AT the parking booth an hour before opening. They’ll typically let cars filter in about 45 minutes prior! You’ll be able to get into the parks well before the official opening time, which gives you plenty of time to get in line for rides (and even knock out a few!). You can also enjoy the quieter crowds early in the day. A Quiet Cinderella Castle So yes: rope dropping is a great Disney tip! You’ll just need to know how to do it right. Here’s What’s Going on with Rope Dropping in Disney World! Skip EPCOT If You Have Kids Ah, this age-old tip has led so many astray. Whether it’s because of the whole drinking around the world thing or because it’s not quite as “magical” as Magic Kingdom, people tend to consider EPCOT an “adult” park. But if you and your kiddos skip it, you’re missing out! China Pavilion There are quite a few experiences geared solely towards kids here, like the Kidcot Fun Stops around the World Showcase. That’s an educational, interactive activity that allows little ones to collect “postcards” from each World Showcase country! Kidcot Fun Stop The Seas area is also incredibly kid-friendly. The Seas with Nemo and Friends is a slow, dark ride filled with fun from Finding Nemo. Then, families can head over to the aquarium to see fish up close. There’s even a scavenger hunt to complete there! It’s the second-largest aquarium in the United States, which means there’s plenty of space for energetic little ones to run around and explore. There aren’t many places like that in Disney World, so you’ll wanna take advantage of it! Fish really are great friends! There are fewer rides overall in this park, but the ones here are pretty great. Zipping around Test Track? Soaring high up on Soarin’ Around the World? Seeing Anna and Elsa on Frozen Ever After? All MEGA fun for kids and adults alike! Not to mention pretty soon we’ll have Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure AND the crazy fun for (bigger) kids Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Coming SOON! Lastly, the EPCOT festivals can have some great eats for kids. At the Flower and Garden Festival this year, there’s a Froot Loops Shake (yum, right?!) and Frushi! The Festival passport even has kid-friendly items marked to make it easy on ya. Don’t discredit this park just because you have little ones. There are activities here for ALL ages. Check Out Another Kid-Friendly EPCOT Activity! Follow a Strict Itinerary You may be told you have to arrive at Disney World with a jam-packed itinerary. We’ve seen friends with 3 ring binders cram-packed with minute-by-minute activities!! Trust us, we’ve seen this in action — and we’ve even DONE it. Toting an actual BINDER around the parks doesn’t exactly seem like bucket loads of fun, does it? But if you’ve been planning your Disney World trip for months, you may feel like this is the only way to guarantee you’ll get your time (and money!) worth. Tree of Life Luckily, that’s not the case! You just need to know what to plan. You’ll want to lay out what days you’re visiting which parks, any Table Service reservations you want to make, and of course your hotel details far in advance. As you get closer to your trip, you’ll want to pull together an overview of what you want to get done each day. It’s not anything super detailed! List out your must-dos (whether that be rides, characters, or snacks) for EACH person in your group so you know what to prioritize. Splash Mountain Then, when it’s your park day, ENJOY it. Make a conscious effort to get those must-dos done, but don’t stress about the little stuff! There’s no need to plan your trip down to the minute. It’ll just lead to chaos when things get thrown off track — and they undoubtedly will, somehow. It could be a rainy day, someone in your travel party could get sick, you could oversleep for your breakfast reservation…the list goes on. Stay flexible so you can brush it off!

Ah, Disney World Park Passes. Hollywood Studios When the parks reopened last summer, Disney implemented the Park Pass reservation system, which controls capacity by requiring guests to make a reservation for the park they want to visit each day. Naturally, this took some getting used to! After all, it was an added step: guests had to go into the system to reserve their spot even after purchasing a valid ticket. The Park Pass system has been around for almost a year now, and after visiting Disney World every day, we’ve kinda become pros at it. But there are a few hiccups you may encounter while making your reservations! And of course, we’re here to help ya out with some handy solutions. The Park You Want to Visit Is Full Even though Disney World is slowly increasing capacity, the parks DO tend to book up — especially as the busy summer months are approaching. That means you’ll want to make your Park Pass reservations as SOON as your plans are in place, before the parks are full! Summer crowds are arriving! Of course, you may still find yourself in a sticky situation. On particularly busy days (or ya know, Disney’s Hollywood Studios on a weekend), Park Passes may disappear just like that. So what can you do?! Park Pass Availability Calendar ©Disney Your best strategy is to keep checking the Park Pass Availability Calendar for openings! You’ll be able to check for spots based on if you’re a Resort Guest, Theme Park Ticket Holder, or Annual Passholder. Disney does tend to open up more availability as dates get closer, so you’ve got a pretty solid shot as long as you stay up-to-date with that calendar. We’ll also let you know every time reservations are refilled! And remember, park hopping is available starting at 2PM. So even if you can’t get your first park of choice, you can hop to that park at 2PM (if it hasn’t hit capacity). Check Out What Dates You’ll Want to Reserve ASAP! The Website Won’t Let You Book Park Passes We’ve recently noticed a glitch on the website that produces an error screen when we try to make our Park Pass reservations. It doesn’t happen every time — or to everyone — but it could be concern for you! Even if you have a valid theme park ticket and the park is available for the day you want to book, that dreaded headless Olaf screen could still appear. ©Disney The solution? You’ll want to call Disney at (407) 939-5277. They’ll make your theme park reservations for you! Just make sure you provide the dates and parks you want to make reservations for. Also keep in mind that you could experience long wait times in order to get a Cast Member on the phone. Here’s hopin’ this glitch gets fixed soon! You can also reach out to a CM through the chat feature on the Disney World app. It’s not guaranteed that the CM will be able to help you, but it might be worth a try. Learn More About This Weird Issue! You’re Being Told You Don’t Have an Eligible Ticket If you’re trying to book Park Passes online, you may receive a screen telling you that you can’t reserve your spot because you don’t have a valid ticket. Keep in mind, you DO need a theme park ticket for the day you’re planning to visit in order to successfully make a Park Pass reservation — but sometimes, you do and that screen still pops up. EPCOT This is likely an issue with your ticket priorities. It’s a bit complicated, but if you have multiple tickets or passes registered under your name, the system could be automatically referring to an expired or blocked-out ticket. That would result in it thinking that you’re not eligible to visit! Like before, you’ll need to speak with a Cast Member directly to get this all sorted out. They should be able to “re-stack” your tickets so that you don’t have this issue again. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Again, you can reach Disney at (407) 939-5277. Check Out Our Park Pass FAQs! You Need to Change the Dates of Your Reservations If your plans change, you may need to reschedule your Park Passes! Maybe you want to switch around which days you visit which parks, or maybe you’re changing the dates of your vacation. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to go into the system and change your Park Pass reservation days. You’ll need to cancel your current Park Passes and start over. This means you’ll want to make absolutely certain that the days you’re trying to switch to have availability BEFORE you cancel your current passes. Again, you can do that by visiting the Park Pass Availability Calendar. Learn More About Park Passes in Disney World! We hope these tips helped ya out if you’re in the process of making those reservations. Let us know if you have any other questions, and we’ll be happy to answer ’em!

These reservations have been going pretty fast throughout the summer, but we have seen Park Passes added after being booked as well. Now, we’ve seen some availability open up in June and July! Before today, you would have tough luck finding Park Passes for the next two months as most dates were yellow and some were even completely greyed out. Now, that’s changed as Park Passes were added to both months. June Park Passes For June, those with Theme Park Tickets or Resort Hotel Guests will spot full availability for most days after June 8th with a few spots of yellow. The parks that are full vary in June between Disney’s Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Passholders have a similar availability with a few more options prior to June 9th. Disney Park Passes For theme park ticket holders, Resort Hotel guests, and Annual Passholders, the ENTIRE month of July is now available for ALL FOUR PARKS — yep, even Disney’s Hollywood Studios and even the 4th of July! Disney Park Passes The availability calendar is constantly shifting, so we’ll keep a close eye on it for ya! If you are hoping for a Park Pass for one of those dates, go ahead and book!

Avengers Campus is FINALLY open in Disney California Adventure Park and there’s so much to explore!! There’s so much to see in this new land! You can take a ride on WEB Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure, check out all of the Avengers-themed merchandise, and you might even see a familiar face or two. But, right now we’re focused on…the FOOD!! If you’re looking for a sweet snack in Avengers Campus, one of the out-of-this-world places you can stop at is Terran Treats. This spot is serving up some uniquely flavored/shaped churros and more! Is it something you should check out? We’re bringing you our full review right here. Backstory This little spot may just seem like another snack location, but like everything at the Disney parks, it has a unique backstory of its own. If you’re looking for Terran Treats you’ll find it right near Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT! ©Disney According to Disney, Taneleer Tivan, who you may know as The Collector, “has curated a weird and wonderful menu of sweet intergalactic eats—perhaps conceived to lure unwitting Terrans inside his towering nearby fortress.” The Collector May Be Trying to Draw You In! Earth dwellers, like us, are invited to try his unique treats at Terran Treats. Just be on the lookout for any tricks he may have up his sleeves! Menu At this spot, you’ll find 2 main menu items as well as some bottled beverages. Terran Treats menu Of course, we HAD to buy the 2 new treats today. We love snacks, and we are READY for this. The first snack is the Sweet Spiral Ration which is described as being “like a Terran Pineapple Churro.” What makes this churro particularly unique is its shape. Instead of being in the shape of a traditional stick or even small churro bites, this churro has been spiraled! (Also, it’s super-duper GREEN!) Sweet Spiral Ration It was warm and soft, just like we want our churros to be, but it also surprised us with just a bit of pineapple flavor. But it wasn’t overpowering. One of our reporters said it tasted like a blend of Dole Whip and a Churro. YES, please!! We found the inside the be rather dough-y. Sweet Spiral Ration You can grab this treat in Avengers Campus and try it yourself for $5.75. Next, we’ve got the Cosmic Cream Orb which is described as being “Like a crisp Terran Cream Puff filled with Whipped Raspberry Cheesecake.” Cosmic Cream Orb On the outside, this treat looks like it could be some kind of cool space rock. While that’s fun enough on its own, the inside is what makes this snack stand out. Just LOOK at that bright purple cream!! Cosmic Cream Orb In terms of its taste, it’s very cheesecake-forward, so you’ll love it if that’s your thing. You also get that hint of raspberry in the cream, making it refreshingly fruity as well. This is so nice and light! They really love the food dye here! Want to grab a Cosmic Cream Orb? You can get one right now for $6.25. Overall, the menu at Terran Treats isn’t very large, but the two items it is serving up are very fun in terms of their looks! They really love the food dye and the fruity flavors here, so if you’re looking for a pastry with a touch of tropical, check this place out. When Disney initially announced this spot, they shared a photo with lots more colorful treats! So we are keeping our eyes peeled for more menu additions. ©Disney spiral ration churros We’re checking out everything all around Avengers Campus today and bringing you our thoughts so be sure to stay tuned for more!

It’s the opening day of Avengers Campus! Pym Test Kitchen We’ve been live from this brand-new land ALL day long, giving you an up-close look at food, characters, and more. And now, we’re stopping for a bite to eat at Pym Test Kitchen, the new Quick Service spot! We were here this morning for breakfast, but we’re back for lunch!! Atmosphere At Pym Test Kitchen, everything’s a wacky size — and that includes the space where you’ll dine! This restaurant is inspired by Ant-Man and The Wasp’s ‘Pym Particles,’ which means everything around you will be shrunken or grown. Check out those GIANT soda cans! We already gave you a FULL tour of the restaurant, so we’re going to head straight up to the counter to grab all of our goodies. Pym Test Kitchen And now, friends, it’s time to EAT! Get a Closer Look Inside Pym Test Kitchen! Menu On the menu, you’ll see some entrees (aka Blue Particle Specials), like that $100 Family-sized Pym-ini Sandwich… Menu …shareables and Red Particle Mini-Meals… Menu …and specialty sips! You’ll want to head over to Pym Tasting Lab for cocktails. Menu This is a Mobile Order location, so we placed our order using the Disneyland app and then headed to the designated pick-up spot. Time to pick up our eats! Then it was time to get tasting! Drink We got the Pingo Doce, which is a reference to Bruce Banner’s time in Rio de Janeiro! You can get this drink from the Coke Machines! Pick Your Drink! The drink was not overly sweet and kind of reminded us of the Guarana Kuat drink that used to be at Club Cool in EPCOT. Eats You better believe we ordered LOTS to try. We started off with the Atomic Fusion Pretzel for $10.49. It’s served buffalo-style and LOADED with chicken. It also comes with hot sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery, and dill-pickled carrots! Atomic Fusion Pretzel The hot sauce added a great kick to this eat. Not that adventurous? Try the Quantum Pretzel instead! It’s a Bavarian-style pretzel with a sharp cheddar cheese-beer sauce, and it’s $12.99. Quantum Pretzel! And trust us. That cheese-beer sauce is goooood. You can purchase this as a side for only $0.89 more. And it’s totally worth every cent! Cheese-Beer Sauce Onto the entrees! Of course, you KNOW we had to try that $100 Family-sized Pym-ini. It comes with salami, rosemary ham, provolone, and sun-dried tomato spread on toasted focaccia bread. You’ll also get marinara dipping sauce, potato bites, and an arugula salad! It’s the $100 Sandwich!!! This tasted JUST like a meat-lovers pizza in sandwich form — kinda like an Italian sub but in panini form! It’s also huge — the menu isn’t lying when it says it can fill up 6-8 people, easy. Would You Order This? If you’re not in a big group (or you want a sandwich ALL to yourself), you can also opt for the regularly-sized Pym-ini. It has all the same toppings and costs $14.49. Pym-ini Sandwich The Not so Little Chicken Sandwich is kinda comical: it’s a MASSIVE piece of chicken on a teeny-tiny bun and is served with potato bites. The sandwich itself has a fried chicken breast, teriyaki and red chili sauces, and pickled cabbage slaw, all served on brioche! It’s $15.49. Not So Little Chicken Sandwich Again, this had a little zest to it! We really enjoyed it. And how can you NOT take a picture of its wacky proportions?! Our biggest critique is that bun. We love ourselves some bread…and there simply isn’t enough bun for ALLLLL that chicken. We know it’s to keep with the theme of the restaurant, but we need more bread. Let’s Dig In!!! Next up, we tried the Caesar Salad and Colossal Crouton, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like! It wasn’t our favorite — it was really just a big slice of romaine with a sparse amount of dressing — but the best part by far was that garlic crouton. It was seasoned really well! You can grab it for $12.49. Caesar Salad and Colossal Crouton The PB3 Superb Sandwich, at $12.99, was a standout eat for us. It’s got peanut butter, candied bacon, and banana and is paired with a Micro Banana Smoothie and Crispy Potato Bites. PB3 Superb Sandwich This was GOOD, but you’ve got to be into all those flavors meshing together! It totally tasted like a late-night snack. A bit of sweet. A bit of savory. What more could ya want?! And I mean it’s covered in Bacon!! Kiddos will love this eat, too! And the blue is one of those Pym Particles. We know the blue is a bit offputting. This was tasty! The tots are kinda lame. Just some standard tots and nothing to write home about. The Micro-Banana Smoothie was the best part of the dish, and we would absolutely snag it in its regular size. Micro Banana Smoothie For our last entree, we tried the Impossible Spoonful. That’s rigatoni and ditalini pastas with plant-based meatballs, tomato sauce, and dairy-free parmesan! It’s $8.99 and comes with a mandarin, coconut milk yogurt, and a choice of low-fat milk or water. At first bite and glance, we weren’t able to tell that this is plant-based. The cheese and even the meatball were flavorful. Time to Eat!! You will notice a difference in texture when it comes to the meatball, but if textures don’t bother you, this is a solid plant-based option. There are a few kids’ meals up for grabs, too. The PB&J Flavor Lab lets kids build their OWN sandwiches! They’ll get smooth peanut butter, strawberry jelly, and Pym particle bread…and they’ll assemble (get it?) their masterpiece themselves. It comes with a mandarin, yogurt, and either low-fat milk or water on the side! The whole thing costs $7.99. PB&J Flavor Lab There’s also a kids’ version of the Impossible Spoonful, for $8.99. Mini Pasta and Impossible Meat-balls And the last eat on the kids’ menu is the Subatomic Chicken Sandwich, at $9.99! It’s just crispy breaded chicken on a soft roll, and we found it to be very dry. We ended up dipping ours in that delicious beer cheese sauce, which helped out a lot! Subatomic Chicken Sandwich Here you can also get a side of Arugula Salad, Slaw, or load up on more of those tasty sauces (because who DOESN’T need more beer cheese when it’s THAT good!?). But, we bypassed those items since they were already served on the side with a few of the dishes we tried and opted for the Candied Bacon instead for $3.79. And, let us tell ya, this lil slab of bacon is super candied. It was sugary and gooey and not too heavy on the bacon — just something to keep in mind if you’re not a fan of overly sweet eats! Candied Bacon For dessert, we grabbed the Celestial-sized Candy Bar: Choco-Smash CANDY Bar, which is just as big as it sounds. It’s made with dark chocolate, peanuts, caramel, nougat, and chocolate brownie! Look at how HUGE it is! All those ingredients mix together to make a candy bar that is a Snickers, Three Musketeers, and a Reese’s all smushed together in one. And, the mere size of it makes it a great value for a Disney dessert coming in at $7.99 for this shareable eat (though this is SO good, we kinda don’t want to share)! YUM. You can also snag the Glowing Pym Particle Disc which can be used as light a light-up coaster. Glowing Pym Particle Disc And you can get the Glowing Pym Particle Capsule. Both of these are $5.49. Honestly, we thought these were made a little cheap and weren’t worth the price. Pym Particle Capsule And don’t forget that you can also find the Pingo Doce Sippper here for $22.99. This can be filled with Pingo Doce or the drink of your choice. Pingo Doce Sipper So, now that we’ve got all that rolling around in our stomachs, is Pym Test Kitchen worth all the hype? Nosh or Not Stop by and try these creative eats if: You’ve got a lot of people to feed in your party. The menu features a wide variety of options, plus there’s that giant sandwich to share! You’re a big Marvel fan! There’s no doubt that these eats are highly themed and great for those who know all about the Pym Particles. You want to try foods that you won’t find anywhere else in Disneyland. Check out some other superhero spots if: You don’t want the stress of having to order hours in advance and make it into Avengers Campus in time for your pick-up window. You’re looking for more plant-based options. There’s only one here and it’s really just your basic spaghetti and meatballs. You like to have dessert with your meal. That giant candy bar is good and all, but it’s your only option. You are looking to branch out. These eats are pretty basic and bland in most cases. There is better food at Disneyland Resort. But it’s always fun trying something new. Overall All in all, if you’re looking for the full superhero experience at Avengers Campus, then this is a place that you definitely don’t want to miss. The atmosphere screams Marvel and Disney found a way to put a unique spin on classic dishes that most park-goers will enjoy. We thought that the peanut butter sandwich was the real standout here, but we weren’t turning our nose up at anything on the menu — it was all tasty! We will certainly be back for more in the future and we’re excited to see what the “experiments” they come up with! And, don’t forget that we also gave breakfast a try here, so you can check out how the meals compare in our review here! We’re LIVE from the Opening of Avengers Campus!

Have you ever finished watching a Marvel movie and thought, “Hey, I want to meet Spider-Man!”? Well, now you can! Captain America Avengers Campus has officially opened to guests in Disney California Adventure and we’re spending our day taking in all that the new land has to offer. We’ve tried some of the new eats and drinks, explored the land, and now we have a peek at all the new superheroes you can meet IRL! We’re kicking things off as we catch Spider-Man swinging between the buildings throughout the day. And, no, that’s not a stunt person with a massive amount of endurance — it’s an animatronic! OKAY, Disney! Of course, where you spot the Dora Milaje, you might also spot Black Panther and he’s posing for photos nearby. Black Panther If you’re more inclined to the morally ambiguous characters, you’ll probably be pretty excited to see Loki talking to guests! Loki During the Ancient Sanctum show, we were graced with the presence of both Loki and Thor. Thor and Loki Speaking of the Ancient Sanctum, here’s a look at Doctor Strange himself inside his show! Doctor Strange One superhero that was missing from the party today was Baby Groot, but we hope to see the little guy making his way around Avengers Campus soon! And, if you haven’t seen this walking, waving, and dancing animatronic that Disney has been working on…well, you NEED to! ©Walt Disney Imagineering R&D Inc. So, there are MANY more superheroes walking around Disneyland now! We will continue to update this post as we spot even more characters around the campus. We’ll keep you posted with all the updates from the new Avengers Campus, so stay tuned to DFB for more. Check Out MORE About Disney’s NEW Avengers Campus HERE!

Now Open! First Recruits Assemble At Avengers Campus | Disney California Adventure Park View the full article

Avengers Campus is officially OPEN in Disney California Adventure Park! Pym Test Kitchen We’ve been making our way around the area, looking at all of the amazing details, checking out the cool merchandise, and more. But now it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for…it’s time to EAT! While we’ve been having a whole slew of different snacks and items from Avengers Campus, right now we’re focusing on one veryyyyy special dish — the $100(!!!!!) sandwich from PYM Test Kitchen. Yes, you read that correctly — there is a $100 sandwich at the new Pym Test Kitchen. Well, it’s $99.99 to be exact. The sandwich, which was previously called the Quantum-sized Pym-ini, but is now known as the Family-sized Pym-ini, isn’t meant to be eaten by just one person though. Oh no no, this sandwich is actually meant to serve 6-8 guests! That works out to be about $17 to $12 per person if you do share it, so all in all that’s not a terrible price when compared to some of the other options on the menu. ©Disney What’s this sandwich made of? Well, it features Salami, Rosemary Ham, Provolone, and Sun-dried Tomato Spread on Toasted Focaccia with Marinara dipping Sauce. It’s served with a whole bowl of Potato Bites and some Arugula Salad as well. We’ll start by saying the fact that the sandwich has the Pym Test Kitchen logo toasted into it is a fun detail! It’s the $100 Sandwich!!! To be honest, for $100 we were hoping for something more flashy or exciting in terms of looks. Instead, it’s basically just one large sandwich that’s been cut into 8 regular pieces that are just put together like a puzzle. You can get the regular sized Pym-ini sandwich for $14.49, which comes with the marinara dipping sauce and arugula salad (but no potato bites). Would You Order This? If you do want to share the sandwich with 7 of your closest friends or family members, you would save about $15 plus the cost of side(s) of potato bites by ordering the $100 version. So that’s something to keep in mind! Those are our thoughts in terms of looks and general cost. But, what is this sandwich like in terms of taste? Well, the sandwich itself is pretty great!! It’s honestly like a meat-lovers pizza sandwich. It reminded us of an Italian sub but in panini form. YUM And the entire plate actually fed our DFB reporter and 8 others, so it truly is very, very, VERY shareable. We think that a group of 6-8 could totally share this and feel full. So, if you’re looking to grab something to eat in Avengers Campus to share with friends, and you’ve made the calculations to determine that it’s actually worth it for you to get this large version, you can now stop by PYM Test Kitchen to try this out. We’ll continue to bring you updates from our day in Avengers Campus so be on the lookout for that and stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!

Today is the grand opening of Avengers Campus, and it’s been one BUSY day in Disney California Adventure Park! Avengers…assemble!! So far, we’ve shared a full review of Shawarma Palace, a review of breakfast from Pym Test Kitchen, a look at the crowds in the land, and much more. But now it’s time to take a look at one merchandise item that might just be your MUST-BUY from Avengers Campus! You might recall that the Avengers took a visit to Shawarma Palace at the end of the first film in the series. And now you can try their favorite food over at a quick-service stand in Avengers Campus too! The menu might be on the shorter side with items like New York’s Tastiest Wrap and Impossible Victory Falafel. But, one special item here will let you channel the power of all the Infinity Stones! Shawarma Palace We’d argue that one of the most incredible moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was when Tony Stark put on the Infinity Gauntlet, said “I am Iron Man,” and made his monumental snap. And, you can channel the energy from Iron Man’s Infinity Gauntlet by buying this special novelty item! Iron Man Infinity Gauntlet! You can purchase the Iron Man Infinity Gauntlet for $22.79 from Shawarma Palace in Avengers Campus. It comes with your choice of a Coca-Cola Bottled Beverage, which can then be held in the glove. The stones on this gauntlet even light up!! Previously, a somewhat similar souvenir gauntlet was released in Disney California Adventure. However, the older version resembled Thanos’ version of the gauntlet, while the updated one looks like Iron Man’s. And this updated one holds a bottle rather than being filled with a beverage in the gauntlet itself. Avengers Campus Just keep in mind that there is a limit of 2 of these per transaction. The bottle may stop you from snapping, but you’ll probably still feel pretty powerful! We have a feeling this is the type of souvenir a bunch of Marvel fans may want to bring home or just buy to get a photo with in the land. So if you want to snatch one up, be sure to do so when you visit! Avengers Campus As we continue to make our way around Avengers Campus today, you can take a look at all our adventures along the way!

We are having an AMAZING time exploring Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure! Avengers Campus Yep, the newest land to join the Disney parks is pretty cool. We’ve already seen Avengers in action, tried some super small eats, and learned to sling webs alongside Spider-Man. Now, we’re headed to a pretty iconic spot from the first Avengers movie — Shawarma Palace! Shawarma Palace is a food cart that acts as the second location to the Avengers’ favorite shawarma joint in New York City. As the story goes, the heroes asked if the owners would set up shop in Avengers Campus! We already took a first look at this spot earlier in the week, but now it’s time to EAT! Atmosphere The theming makes the cart look like a plain ol’ NYC-style shawarma cart. If you’ve been to the Big Apple, you’ve probably seen something similar! Shawarma Palace The big difference is that this cart is covered in Avengers paraphernalia. Why? Well, it turns out the Shawarma Palace owners are BIG fans of the Avengers. You can even spot a recreation of Captain America’s shield! Huh, we guess the feeling is mutual. See the shield?! But enough about the cart itself, let’s eat! Eats We’re looking at a small menu of shawarma-inspired eats here. Get ready to option between New York’s Tastiest and the Impossible Victory Falafel! Shawarma Palace Menu There IS also a breakfast menu, featuring an Impossible Breakfast Sha-warm-up, but we’re ALL about the snacks today. We’ll be back later with a review of that breakfast! ©Disney Since this IS our first visit, we thought we’d go BIG. That’s why we’re trying BOTH options on the snack menu! And we’re kicking things off with New York’s Tastiest for $12.99. New York’s Tastiest This is a Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Garlic Spread, and Coconut Yogurt-Tahini Sauce with Pickled Vegetables. And we really enjoyed it! The wrap had a great kick to it and was super flavorful. New York’s Tastiest sure is tasty! The coconut-yogurt tahini sauce it comes with complements the wrap really well — and it tastes just like tzatziki! If you want even more of it, you can grab an extra side for $0.89. Coconut-Yogurt Tahini Sauce We also got the plant-based snack option: the Impossible Victory Falafel for $12.99. Expect to taste a Plant-based Falafel and Cauliflower Wrap, Garlic Spread, Hummus, and Coconut Yogurt-Tahini Sauce with Pickled Vegetables. Impossible Victory Falafel We definitely preferred the Chicken Shawarma Wrap to this one. The falafel wrap was a little bland, but not too bad! We’re glad to see that there’s a plant-based option on the menu. Not our favorite! This menu may be small, but it’s mighty! So, should you pay a visit to Shawarma Palace? Nosh or Not You SHOULD eat at Shawarma Palace if… You couldn’t get into Pym Test Kitchen. Mobile Order windows are going FAST for Pym Test Kitchen, but if you still want to eat in Avengers Campus, this is a good option. You’re looking for a grab-and-go meal. You want a plant-based option. You should SKIP Shawarma Palace if… You want a lot of options. You’ll only find 2 things on the snack menu here! You want a sit-down meal. Shawarma Palace is meant to be quick ‘n’ convenient! You’re a picky eater. Again, with only 2 things on the menu, you may not find something you like. Overall Like we mentioned, Shawarma Palace is a great pit-stop while you’re running around the campus. You don’t have too many options menu-wise — and among the 2, we’d recommend siding with that chicken shawarma unless you need a plant-based meal. If you’re looking for more eats, head on over to Pym Test Kitchen in the land. They’ve got a MUCH bigger menu with some pretty creative dishes!

It’s finally here…Avengers Campus has officially opened to the public!! Avengers Campus is OPEN! We’ve already shared a full review of some of the food you can grab for breakfast there, a sneak peek at the merchandise, and more. Now we’re sharing all the updates with you about something else — the CROWDS! Yeah, as you might have guessed, we weren’t exactly the only ones who wanted to say hello to Captain America and Spider-Man today. But, just how crowded is Avengers Campus on its opening day? Let’s take a look! Arrival We’ll start with a peek at the crowds when we first arrived to the Disneyland Resort this morning. Crowds were pretty big already around 7AM! Avengers Campus Crowds Even though Disney California Adventure Park was not set to open until 9AM, fans arrived VERY early to make sure they could train with their favorite superheroes. HELLO Crowds Keep in mind that the capacity of Avengers Campus itself (as a land) is limited. There is a system in place if capacity is reached. Once the land reaches capacity, guests can enter a standby queue to get in. Or, if you’re able to get a spot in the Virtual Queue for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, you’ll be able to enter the land once your spot in the virtual queue is called. Just Us and a Ton of Marvel Friends Here’s another peek at the crowds. One of our reporters waited for several hours before being able to even step in the land. Waiting!! Now, big crowds are (of course) to be expected today as it is the land’s opening day. But, we would caution you to be prepared to encounter larger crowds for a while as the newness of this land continues to attract more guests. Inside the Land But, FINALLY we got the chance to step inside Avengers Campus!! Inside of the land, there were a lot of people walking all around. Avengers Campus Crowds There were some spots that weren’t quite as crowded… Quieter over Here …but other spots were rather packed! Crowds! There’s quite a lot to see here and quite a lot of people who wanted to see it! There’s so much to see in this new land! There were so many people in this land at one point during our visit that we had trouble even finding a seat where we could eat our food. You Might Not Find a Seat! And we weren’t the only ones. We spotted several guests who were sitting on the floor to eat and rest. The Ground Works! We eventually found a seat, but just keep this in mind if you’re planning to visit the land. You may need to spend a little extra time looking for a table or even just a bench. A Look at the Crowds And that’s a look at the opening day crowds for Avengers Campus! Looks like there are a lot of superheroes out there who wanted to get in that training today. Captain America! We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more updates about Avengers Campus and share those all with you! Click here to see more from our day in Avengers Campus!

What would you say if we told you there were not one, not two, but THREE Captain Americas in Disney California Adventure today? Captain America We’ve, of course, spotted the OG Captain America himself and the NEW Captain America (Sam Wilson) in Avengers Campus. But we spotted another Captain America just outside of Avengers Campus, and he looks a little bit like another familiar friend… . Just outside of Avengers Campus, Mickey Mouse was up on stage to say hi to guests. And get this, he was dressed in his FINEST Captain America merchandise! Mickey Mouse Mickey seems to be celebrating the opening of Avengers Campus today by donning a Captain America hat and a red Captain America sweatshirt — with matching sneaks no less! Mickey Mouse We didn’t know Mickey was such a big Captain America fan! Mickey Mouse This sighting certainly put a smile on our faces and lots of guests were getting cute photos with him.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. If you’ve ever been to a Disney park, then you know that there’s a whole magical wardrobe that you can get away with while you’re in the “Disney bubble.” You can wear whatever you want in Disney World! Whether that’s a punny tee referencing a Disney movie or a posh dress-and-bag combo designed to match your favorite character, there are so many options for things to wear to the parks. And today, we spotted a new item in Magic Kingdom that you’re probably going to want to add to your closet! The brand-new Tomorrowland Dress has arrived in Magic Kingdom, but oddly not in Tomorrowland! We spotted it on Main Street, U.S.A. inside Uptown Jewelers. How cute is this?! It’s a blue and purple print that reminds us of a galaxy, and little white dotted stars are spread throughout. We love this color scheme! The front features a very futuristic-looking ‘T’ design, making us feel a bit like we’re wearing a jumpsuit from a sci-fi movie. That’s definitely a Tomorrowland vibe! Cool details on this! There’s also a Tomorrowland logo on the skirt. We spot all of our favorites — Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Speedway, Astro Orbiter, and even the new TRON coaster ride vehicle! Tomorrowland! If you want this dress for yourself, then you can pick one up for $128. It’s also available already online, so make sure to order one if you can’t get to the park.
