Another month has come and gone, which means it’s time to wrap up our monthly picks for the best and worst things we tried in Disney World in May! EPCOT This month includes seasonal items as well as items you can still find in the parks and resorts — let’s drive right in and see what made it to the top (and bottom) of our list! The Best: Nutella Boston Cream Donut — Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew Once again, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew tops our monthly list of favorite food items we ate. We actually tried a trio of new donuts in the month of May, each one of them tasty and sweet, but it was the Nutella Boston Cream Donut that truly stole our hearts. We really didn’t need any convincing to buy this one. This dessert is a glazed donut filled with vanilla custard and topped with Nutella icing — you don’t even need to ask us twice to try it! This donut was the perfect marriage of chocolate and vanilla, and we’re crossing all of our fingers and toes that this donut sticks around! Check it out next time you visit Everglazed for $5.50. Click here to read our full review of the Nutella Boston Cream Donut! Disney Cruise Line Treats — The Market at Ale & Compass While we still wait for Disney Cruise Line to return to normal operations, we were in for a treat this month at The Market at Ale & Compass! Their Lemon Raspberry Tart and Blueberry Cream Cheese Trifle are themed to make you feel like you’re aboard one of the cruise ships! Lemon Raspberry Tart While we wish Disney could have used this opportunity to come up with more clever names, these landlocked oceanic desserts were both memorable in the best way possible! The Trifle gave us major Blueberry Cobbler vibes while the Tart struck a great pairing with the tanginess of the lemon and the sweetness of the raspberry. Disney Cruise Line Blueberry Cream Cheese Trifle The Trifle was $4.99 and the Tart was $5.49! Click here to read our review of the Disney Cruise Line treats! Korean BBQ Fries — The Daily Poutine Poutine is a pretty big deal for us at Disney World. When a new poutine flavor is introduced, we make sure to check it out — and we’re sure glad we came across the Korean BBQ Fries at The Daily Poutine in Disney Springs. The Daily Poutine These fries, topped with Korean-Spiced Pulled BBQ and Kimchi, drizzled with Sriracha Mayo, and then garnished with Spring Onion, were a stellar menu addition for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. We wish this could be a regular menu item! Click here to read our review of the Korean BBQ Fries from The Daily Poutine Saimin Ramen & Buffalo Chicken Egg Roll — Morimoto Street Food Our final entries on the “best” list for the month of May is a doubleheader, courtesy of Morimoto Street Food in Disney Springs! Ramen fans will want to make a trip here ASAP to grab their new Saimin Ramen dish — loaded with flavor, this filling dish is a great option to share with a friend (or keep all to yourself…we won’t judge). Saimin Ramen You can find this tasty ramen dish at Morimoto Street Food for $16. Not to be outdone, however, are their Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! Both creamy and crispy, these egg rolls were also packed with a ton of flavor and didn’t skimp out on the chicken. You’ve gotta try this! The best part? They were only $4 a piece! It’s not every day you come across a stellar, flavorful Disney World snack at under $5, and we hope to see even more varieties in the future! Click here to read our review of the Saimin Ramen! The Worst: White Cheddar Mac and Cheese — Nomad Lounge We take Macaroni and Cheese VERY seriously here at DFB. So when we feel totally wronged by a Mac & Cheese dish, we’re going to let you know! Unfortunately, the White Cheddar Mac and Cheese totally missed the mark this month at Nomad Lounge. WHERE is the cheese?! Ultimately we were really missing that ooey-gooey texture and flavor that we come to expect with Mac & Cheese dishes, especially from a dining location like Nomad Lounge. We want our CHEESE fix, ya know?! We tried a number of food items on this particular trip to Nomad Lounge, but the White Cheddar Mac & Cheese for $5 was a big letdown. Click here to read about our recent trip to Nomad Lounge! Lemon Pound Cake and Croissant Doughnut — Contemporary Grounds If you’re looking for a quick bite to eat or a cup of coffee before heading out to the parks at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Contemporary Grounds is a convenient counter location for breakfast pastries and drinks on-the-go. If you have time to spare, however, we would recommend you seek out your breakfast elsewhere. Flaky, but pretty dry nonetheless. While their coffee can be a solid option for you in the morning, their new Lemon Pound Cake and Croissant Doughnut left much to be desired. In our opinion, you’re better off stopping by Contempo Cafe, or hold out until you reach the park for a breakfast pastry. That’s some THICC cake. If you’re at the Contemporary and looking for a quick breakfast, you can find their Lemon Pound Cake and Croissant Doughnut for $4.99 each. But if you ask us, if you’re going to Magic Kingdom in the morning, head straight to Gaston’s Tavern for one of their Warm Cinnamon Rolls instead! Click here to read our review of the pastries at Contemporary Grounds. Mother’s Day Red Velvet Cupcake — Contempo Cafe The month of May brought us TONS of Mother’s Day-themed treats across the parks and resorts. While many of them were hits (like the Mother’s Day Mimosa Miniature Gâteau), a few were also total misses, like the Mother’s Day Red Velvet Cupcake from Contempo Cafe. Mother’s Day Cupcake While this cupcake was certainly Instagram-worthy, we found our cupcake to be particularly dry with a near-solid cream cheese filling from being chilled. The textures alone left us disappointed, but there were plenty of other Mother’s Day treats to write home to Mom about last month! The cupcake was available for $5.99. Click here to read our review of the Mother’s Day Red Velvet Cupcake! Sweeter Than Roses — The Market at Ale & Compass Last and we guess…least…was Sweeter Than Roses at The Market at Ale & Compass. This year’s Mother’s Day desserts were all 10/10 when it came to appearance — just look at this beautiful treat! Not our favorite! Ultimately, however, this raspberry mousse atop a chocolate hazelnut cake with a ruby red raspberry center and chocolate fondant decorations was a bit TOO messy for us to really enjoy, and the texture of the mousse threw us off. It was available as a Mother’s Day treats for $5.79. Click here to read our review of the “Sweeter Than Roses” dessert. We’re looking forward to trying even MORE of the latest and greatest treats around Disney World for the month of June! Be sure to stay tuned as we review each and every new food item that comes our way, and be on the lookout for more monthly wrap-ups of our most (and least) favorite treats!

As Disney World continues with its phased reopening, certain elements or experiences remain unavailable. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa However, while certain hotels, restaurants, and attractions are still closed, we’re slowly seeing others reopen. A few days ago, Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopened in full, and we’re looking forward to Tusker House welcoming guests again later this month! But if you’re planning a stay at a Disney hotel, you’ll want to know about another returning option. Disney’s Club Level lounges have remained closed since the parks reopened last summer, and “Club Level” rooms and suites have not had Club Level service. However, starting in mid-September, they will follow a phased opening plan. Disney’s Beach Club Resort We’ll see Club Level rooms, suites, and lounges reopen at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Disney has NOT yet announced a timeline for the lounges at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, or Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort. Disney has shared the current reopening schedule with travel agents — you can see it below: ©Disney According to Disney, the lounges will all follow social distancing guidelines and require face masks indoors, in accordance to current safety policies. As for those Club Level rooms and suites? You can book ’em starting tomorrow, June 4th! Royal Palm Club at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about how these Club Level amenities will return to the Disney hotels. Stay tuned to DFB for more news!

Avengers Campus is opening at Disney California Adventure THIS Friday! Avengers Campus And we don’t even need to tell ya how excited we are, because we’re sure you are, too! We’ve spent the last few months telling you just about everything you need to know about this new Marvel-inspired land, from the wacky food offerings to an all-new attraction experience. And today, we’re watching the grand opening LIVE! Tonight, Disney is streaming the Avengers Campus opening ceremony for us all to enjoy — and we’re even going to get a peek inside the land! Needless to say, we’re pumped for this BIG step forward. So of course, we tuned in! ©Disney Avengers Campus The event began with a virtual tour guided by the voice of Friday, one of Tony Stark’s latest creations! At first glance, Avengers Campus looks like it will be a super interactive area where the heroes we know from the comics and films teach us how to become the next set of Avengers! ©Disney The characters will be a major part of this new land and will have many opportunities to interact with guests. ©Disney We got to see even more of WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, where we get to help Spider-Man fight off the Spider Bots he created! ©Disney You’ll grab your WEB Vision glasses and shoot webs at the bots. ©Disney Zoe Saldana, known for playing Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy, took the new attraction for a spin! ©Disney Although we’ve seen most of the food from Avengers Campus, Disneyland Culinary Director John State took us though the eats at the Pym Test Kitchen and talked about the other restaurants in the new land! ©Disney Dr. Strange fans, get excited! You will be able to step into the Ancient Sanctum where Dr. Stephen Strange will help bring out your inner sorcerer. ©Disney Another interactive character experience will be with Okoye from Black Panther! ©Disney She and the rest of the Dora Milaje will help you become a warrior. ©Disney When you visit Avengers Campus you’ll want to look up! Spider-Man will be soaring through the sky, and it’s quite the sight to see! We’ve gone into detail on how Disney makes Robo-Spider-Man fly, but it’s pretty incredible to watch it happen! ©Disney After the virtual tour, it was time for the live opening ceremony! We heard from leaders at Disney including Josh D’Amaro… ©Disney …CEO Bob Chapek… ©Disney …and Kevin Feige from Marvel! ©Disney Disney had hinted at some special guests, and Paul Rudd was the first big guest to join us! ©Disney Jon Favreau also made a guest appearance right below the Quinjet! ©Disney While some of our favorite Marvel actors were able to be a part of the live ceremony, others sent in videos for the special event including Scarlet Johansson, Paul Bettany, Brie Larson, Mark Ruffalo, and MORE! ©Disney The incredible flying Spider-Man animatronic then took flight live! We can’t get over the fact that this is an animatronic! ©Disney Then, Anthony Mackie, (known for playing the Falcon and the new Captain America) came out with the iconic shield and passed it on to the new Captain America of Avengers Campus. He gave a heartfelt speech about what the new Captain America meant to him and to everyone who is watching before the passing of the shield. ©Disney To finish it all off, Disney officially opened Avengers Campus with a BANG. Literally! Fireworks went off right behind the Quinjet with a ton of Marvel characters for a truly spectacular finale! ©Disney To see all of this in action, you can watch a replay of the entire livestream below! The official opening of Avengers Campus is on June 4th — and that’s coming up REALLY soon, friends! We’ll continue to bring you all the latest as Avengers Campus makes its big debut.

Avengers Campus is opening THIS Friday in Disney California Adventure, and we stopped by recently for a preview! Avengers Campus We’ve had some tasty bites from all the new dining spots, checked out the new merchandise, and now it’s finally time to try our hand at slinging some webs with Spider-Man on WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. And, let us tell ya, if you’ve ever wanted to swing from buildings with Tom Holland, this ride will be your jam! Let’s check it out! First, we have to talk about HOW you can ride this new attraction. Similar to Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure has a virtual queue. And, the only way to ride it is to secure yourself a boarding group — there is not a standby line. ©Disney Those who have a park pass reservation for Disney California Adventure can join at 7AM and 12PM daily through the Disneyland app, and those who have a park hopper ticket can join the virtual queue at 12PM — just be sure you’ve already entered Disneyland Park for the day. But, there is one BIG caveat to keep in mind — you CAN’T have a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance and WEB SLINGERS at the same time. WEB SLINGERS Okay, now that all the details are out of the way, let’s get to the ride, shall we? The Queue You’ll hop into the queue outdoors, after you choose whether you’re getting in the single rider or standby entrance (important: the single rider lines are NOT currently running!). After your boarding group is called, you’ll get into that standby line. WEB SLINGERS To the side, you’ll also see a FastPass entrance. Again, FastPass will NOT be an option when WEB SLINGERS initally opens. FastPass Entrance You’ll weave through that outdoor line… Outdoor Queue …and catch a glimpse at some webs. Outdoor Queue After a few more turns… Outdoor Line …you’ll head inside! Let’s head inside! Now, this is Disney we’re talking about. That means there are going to be some pretty cool Easter eggs! In the first “waiting room” inside, you’ll see a sign with 5 characters on it. Those are Peter Parker, Onome, Harley Keener, Doreen Green, and Lunella Lafayette, and they’re the engineering team for the Web Slingers! Check out that cool board! Each person’s board highlights the contribution they made to the tech. Here’s a closer look! Of course, Peter Parker’s the one responsible for those Web-Shooters. It’s Peter Parker! You’ll also see lockers featuring TONS of Marvel characters, like Harley Keener. Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane Watson even get a nod! Pretty nifty! And a glass-enclosed billboard features a teeny Wall-E keychain: a tribute to Imagineer Grisol Ramirez. It’s Wall-E! You’ll also get a peek at some cool (and kinda wacky) tech! We can’t even begin to understand what’s going on here. The queue is SUPER immersive, and there sure is lots to look at. The Pre-Show To give you some backstory to what you’re gettin’ yourself into, WEB SLINGERS features a pre-show. Let’s head into the pre-show! The plot? You’re visiting one of WEB’s labs for an Open House, where they’re showing off their Web Slinger vehicle. Pre-Show Room You’ll watch the Open House on a screen. It’s Open House time! But of course, something’s gotta go wrong! And in this case, the Spider-Bots have escaped and it’s up to YOU to sling webs to catch them all for Peter Parker. Pre-Show On the whiteboards in this room, you’ll spot real science equations that calculate what it actually takes to make and sling webs. Pretty cool, right?! Whiteboard Elsewhere in the room, you’ll see evidence of science in action. (And hey — can ya spot that Luxo Lamp?). It’s like a look in their brains! Of course, there’s also a nod to Disney Imagineering! The WD-40 on the table is actually labeled WDI-1401. See it?! Meanwhile, dial the Lucky Dog’s Pizza phone number and you’ll get a pre-recorded “This number has been disconnected.” Go on — give it a try! See it?! Now, that we’ve taken it allll in, it’s time to head out of the room… Time to ride! …pick up those 3D glasses… Let’s grab our glasses! …and get on the ride! The Ride Now we’re off to the city to help Spider-Man! Before you hop on board, a handy sign will give you ALL the steps you need to sling. Here’s a how-to! You’ll walk through a small queue to board… More queue! …with MORE fun and science-y details! More details! Then, you’ll hop aboard your Web Slinger vehicle. The side doors slide open so you can sit down, but once on board, your only opening will be in the front. Restraint-wise, you’ll get a lap bar! Time to load in! Here’s another look at those ride vehicles (ahem: Web Slinger vehicles). Here’s another look! The ride uses gesture recognition technology, so all you and your Avengers Team (aka your friends and family) will do is wave your hands and work together to rack up your group score throughout the ride. ©Disney Each Spider-Bot is worth a different point value, with gold being the highest, then green, blue, and red bots being the lowest. ©Disney As we’ve told ya before, you’re able to purchase customizable WEB Tech accessories to personalize your ride experience! You can read more about those here. Basically, they’ll give you NEW powers (think taser webs and web cannons) to help ya sweep up those Spider-Bots. ©Disney After you’ve saved the campus, you’ll get a congrats from Spider-Man — and now you’re a superhero, too! ©Disney After the ride, you’ll get to see some of the top scores from the day and see how YOU measure up. Who won?! There are a lot of hidden easter eggs and details in the game, so we’ll definitely be back to refine our web-slinging skills to unlock them all!

Can you believe it? It’s almost time for the grand opening of Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus! Look at all those drinks! And as huge Marvel nerds, we are GEEKING OUT. There’s so much new stuff to look forward to — new food, new merchandise, new attractions, and more. But there are also some brand new DRINKS, and you know we’re all about that. Ahead of the grand opening of Avengers Campus, we were invited to a preview to check out everything, including the Pym Tasting Lab, where Pym Laboratories has done some scientific experiments to create new beers and cocktails. For example, you can even get a Pint-sized Pints Mini Beer Flight. And they come in mini beer steins on an oversized ruler flight board. The flight is $35. Pint-sized pints mini beer flight Or maybe you crave something a little sweet. The Honey Buzz is made with Plymouth Gin, Lemon Juice, and Honey Syrup and comes with a Honey Straw. This drink is $17. Honey Buzz Pym banged some particles together to get the Particle Fizz, which is Endless Summer Hard Seltzer – POG (Passion Fruit, Orange, Guava) with Cherry Flavor-filled Boba for $15. It has POG juice in it!!! Particle Fizz What happens when molecules melt down? Well, there’s a drink called the Molecular Meltdown, so we guess the result is a Beer Cocktail with Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Miniature Marshmallows. It sounds like a beer float, and we are HERE FOR IT. It’s $17. Molecular Meltdown The Pym lab techs love honey and we’ve got another honey drink called the Honey Fusion. It’s a beer cocktail with Plymouth Gin and a Honey Straw. You can try it for $15. Honey Fusion The menu also includes a variety of beers and wines. You can also purchase a glowing particle disc or capsule to add a little extra radioactive glow to your experimental beverage! We can’t wait to give all of these a try on Friday!

Attention Marvel fans! The grand opening of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure is almost here! WEB Suppliers Ahead of the grand opening, though, we were invited to a preview to check out everything — the food, the attractions, and more! But right now, let’s look at some of the cool new merchandise available at Avengers Campus. We found some super cool gadgets, gear, clothing, and collectibles at WEB Supplies. And there is just SO much stuff. SO much stuff! And yes, the first thing we looked at was that AMAZING Spider-Bot we’ve already seen. This thing is SO COOL, y’all. It’s a fully remote-controlled battle bot (yes, it can battle other spider-bots). Spider-bot! And you can even customize it with tactical upgrades with themes from other Avengers, like Black Widow… ©Disney …Black Panther… ©Disney …Wasp… ©Disney …and Iron Man! ©Disney But wait — how are you supposed to carry around your Spider-Bot? Well, Disney actually thought of that and there’s a Spider-Bot Backpack. This backpack has a place to store all your stuff, but it has an extra webbed (literally) pocket just for your Spider-Bot. Because you gotta’ carry your Spider-bot around somehow, right? Oh, did we mention there’s also a full Spider-Man Costume? Like you can dress up like Spider-Man FOR REAL now. ©Disney Perhaps the most interesting piece of merchandise (and yes, maybe even cooler than the Spider-Bot) is the WEB Tech. These are interactive wearable bands that you can wear on the Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure attraction to plus up your ride experience! We’re interested to see how wearing this on the ride changes the experience. Upgrade your Web Slingers experience The base WEB Power Band is $34.99. But you can also get add-ons with powers inspired by Spider-Man, Ghost Spider, Iron Man, or Rescue for $29.99 each. Iron-Man powers? Yes, please!

If you want to run around your house with Spider-Man Web Shooters, you’re in luck because you can find those here. These have lights, sounds, and a display stand! You can now BE Spider-Man Looking for some cool clothing? We’re digging this Kids White Web Slingers Hooded Sweatshirt. Web Slingers Sweatshirt You can also commemorate your visit to Avengers Campus with a Spider-Man Picture Frame. Picture frames You can get Patches. And for you Pin Collectors, you can get a Lanyard and 4-Pin Set. Pins and patches There are loads of other Pins to choose from, too! SO many pins!

It’s almost here — the official grand opening of Avengers Campus! Avengers Campus Ahead of the grand opening, we were invited to a preview to check out all the new things coming to this land in Disney California Adventure, and we couldn’t be more excited to share all of our photos and thoughts with you. And here at DFB, we’re definitely ready to talk about the FOOD! One of the new dining spots in Avengers Campus is Terran Treats, and it’s home to some really unusual snacks! Terran Treats If you’re looking for Terran Treats, you’ll find it over by Guardians of the Galaxy Mission: BREAKOUT! There are a few different items on the menu, including two new sweet treats, the Sweet Spiral Ration and the Cosmic Cream Orb. ©Disney We got to try out the Cosmic Cream Orb, which is listed on the menu for $6.25. It’s described as a crisp Terran Cream Puff filled with whipped raspberry cheesecake. The outside of the pastry reminds us of moon rocks or cooled lava! Cosmic Cream Orb When you cut it open, that raspberry filling is a very bold purple color. We really enjoyed this one — it was all the flavors we expected it to be, but it’s definitely big enough to be shared between two people. Cosmic Cream Orb We look forward to trying out the Sweet Spiral Ration for $5.75 when the land opens. You’ll also be able to find bottled Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, and SmartWater here.

Hello from Avengers Campus! Avengers Campus We’ve been exploring the land just a few days before it officially opens, and we’ve got LOTS to show ya! We’ve already checked out the eats at Pym Test Kitchen and the experience onboard WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. But if you’re a TRUE Marvel fan (or you just appreciate some good ol’ theme park secrets), you’ll want to know that there are plenty of Easter eggs for you to spot around Avengers Campus! You may know that Disney loves hiding hidden tributes to movies, characters, Imagineers, and more around their theme parks. And we’ve already found quite a few that we want to show ya! Let’s dig in. Pym Test Kitchen Pym Test Kitchen features some seriously wacky eats — we’re talkin’ a HUGE $100 Pym-ini and a Not so Little Chicken Sandwich! But the fun doesn’t end there, because there’s an Easter egg in here, too! Pym Test Kitchen See those massive ketchup and mustard bottles?! There’s a set on either side of the restaurant, and they’re a nod to Disney California Adventure’s old Bountiful Valley Farm Area! And the date on ’em is 2001, aka the year Disney California Adventure opened. That’s a Lot of Ketchup! On either side of the restaurant, you’ll also see a 6-pack of soda on the ceiling. The hoses wind alllll the way down to the Coke Freestyle Machines, and are held together with a bread twist tie. Wow! On the right side of the restaurant, that tie is labeled 06APR, which is Paul Rudd’s (Ant-Man!) birthday. See That Date? And on the left, side, it’s labeled 03AUG. That’s Evangeline Lilly’s (Hope Pym!) birthday. Soda Set-Up Pretty neat, right?! WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure We’ve got LOTS to break down in WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, friends. This ride is chock-full of hidden messages and cool details! In the indoor queue, you’ll spot a waiting room with a big sign. It features 5 characters — Peter Parker, Onome, Harley Keener, Doreen Green, and Lunella Lafayette — who were the engineers behind the Web Slinger vehicles! There it is! Each person’s board highlights their specific contribution to the project. Thanks, Lunella! You’ll also want to keep an eye out for a wall of lockers that nods to Harley Keener, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane Watson! Pretty nifty! And a glass bulletin board with a little Wall-E keychain pays tribute Imagineer Grisol Ramirez, who passed in a tragic car accident. Hi, Wall-E! All right, friends. We’re movin’ into the pre-show room. There are whiteboards in here that have REAL science equations on ’em (and that math actually checks out to how webs would be built and how you could sling them around). Whiteboard There’s also a nifty little desk set-up, which is bursting with Easter egg eye candy. There’s a Luxo Lamp… Are we getting our mission?! …and a nod to Disney Imagineering! The WD-40 on the table has been labeled WDI-1401. See it?! Lastly, dial the Lucky Dog’s Pizza’s number and you’ll get a message telling you the line has been disconnected! Give it a try! Throughout the ride as a whole, you’ll spot plenty of other inside jokes and Marvel references. So keep an eye out! WEB Suppliers Now it’s off to WEB Suppliers, which sells WEB Tech, Spider-Bots, and SO much more. We’ve got 2 Easter Eggs to point out here! WEB Suppliers First up, you’ll spot a potato gun wayyy at the top of the shelves. That was invented by a brilliant WEB Tech engineer — and it’s gone missing from the labs! Seems like we managed to track it down. We found the potato gun! On the other side of the shelving unit, there’s a jar of acorns. Another engineer keeps pet squirrels, and this jar was her contribution to the store! See the red jar? Hey, it’s an interesting choice for interior design — but it’s a fun touch! Outside There are a few MORE details that you can spot while out and about, just roamin’ around the land. You’ll find parking signs sprinkled around campus for different people like Peggy Carter… Peggy Carter …Edwin Jarvis… Edwin Jarvis …and Howard Stark! Howard Stark And check out ANOTHER nod to Lucky Dog’s Pizza! Lucky Dog’s Pizza Is Back! Looks like it’s pizza parking only here. Sorry, folks. Pizza Parking Only — Sorry! And one of our favorite Easter eggs are the 3 trees on one side of WEB Slingers. There’s a HUGE middle tree with an average ol’ tree on either side. That’s a BIG tree! On either side of the tree, there’s a pipe with green goo coming out of it. Interesting… That makes this a Hulk tree! That, right there, is a Disney detail at its finest. It’s a Hulk tree! If you find yourself at Avengers Campus soon, keep an eye out for these Easter eggs! It sure is fun wandering around the land while you try to spot them all. Let us know how many YOU can find, and stay tuned to DFB for plenty more Avengers Campus news! Learn More About WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure!

Avengers…ASSEMBLE!! Avengers Campus Avengers Campus will officially open in just a few days with new food, merchandise, and more for guests to enjoy! We were able to get a sneak peek of the land recently and now we’re sharing ALL the details with you. Do you love Marvel 3,000? Are you feeling worthy to wield Mjölnir and save the world? Then what are you waiting for?! Let’s head into Avengers Campus!! The Story First, let’s start with a bit of the backstory. How come ordinary guests like you and me suddenly get to enter these top-secret facilities from the Avengers? Well, Tony Stark, the Avengers, and their allies have realized that the world needs more heroes! So, they’re inviting us in…not as guests! Instead, we’re here to be recruits and train to help save the world! ©Disney Alright, so what does this land look like, and what’s there to do? Here’s a look! Atmosphere and Details First, we’ll do a general look at the atmosphere and details. First, you’ve got the Quinjet. We actually got a little peek at this some time ago, but now you can take a look at the Quinjet in all its glory! Avengers Campus The Quinjet is parked on top of/right near Avengers Headquarters. More on that in a second! Keep in mind that Avengers Campus now includes Guardians of the Galaxy MISSION: BREAKOUT! Let’s Visit Avengers Campus All around Avengers Campus you’ll find unique details and hidden easter eggs. These are things you’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for throughout your time here. Look for Details! Check out this Stark Industries panel on one of the walls with the “Avengers Personnel Only” markings on the bottom. Pretty neat! Be Sure to Look Around Everywhere! And this sign showing that the parking is reserved for P. Carter. Now, why does that name sound familiar… . Anyone Know a P. Carter?! There are even hidden Mickeys! Do You See It? We’ll be doing an entire post full of details about tons of easter eggs and hidden details you can find in the land, so be sure to keep an eye out for that! Now, let’s get into some of the practical things. Looking for stroller parking? Here’s the spot you’ll be looking for — you can see the stroller parking sign to the right. Stroller Parking And, of course, no Disney land would be complete without its own set of themed trash cans, and Avengers Campus is no exception!! Trash Cans!! But there’s not just one unique trash can design…there are multiple! Here are the themed trash cans you’ll find near Pym Test Kitchen. More Trash Cans! And, of course, it wouldn’t be Disney World without a trip to the restroom! You’ll find a set of restrooms right inside of Avengers Campus. Restrooms There are all kinds of hidden details near the restrooms too, so don’t miss out on those. Anyone spot a Spider-Bot nearby? Another Look at the Restrooms There it is! Hello Little Spider-Bot! Gotta watch out for those little creatures…seems like they’re everywhere! Attractions Alright, next let’s tackle the attractions. The main attraction that is opening initially with this land is WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. WEB SLINGERS Ready to head inside? Let’s head inside! During this attraction, you’ll go through a pre-show area featuring the one and only Tom Holland (well, a video of him anyway)!! Are we getting our mission?! It seems Peter Parker and his team have been working on some new technology including the Spider-Bots! But, something goes wrong and his creations get stuck in replication mode and escape from a WEB Workshop. It’s up to you to help Spider-Man to stop these Spider-Bots before they wreak havoc all over Avengers Campus! You’ll grab your 3D glasses, or WEB Vision glasses we should say. Let’s grab our glasses! And then it’s time to take a seat in the ride vehicle! Time to load in! During the ride, you’ll actually use your arms to sling webs at the Spider-Bots and help Spider-Man save the day! ©Disney We’ll be sharing a FULL post about this attraction, so be on the lookout for that!

Note that some of these may be modified due to COVID-19. At or around Avengers Headquarters, you may see a number of superheroes ready to defend their Headquarters (and the world, of course). You’ll also see them throughout the land. You’ll want to keep your eyes open at all times — you never know what heroes (or villains) you might see. Avengers Campus We were told that some characters that may appear during your trip to the land include Ant Man and the Wasp, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, Thor, Black Widow, Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Panther, Gamora, Groot, and Star Lord. During our sneak peek, the characters weren’t out and about, but we’ll be watching for them in the upcoming days once the land officially opens. That’s One Cool Car! If you’re looking for a unique spot where you’ll be able to learn the secrets of the mystic arts from Doctor Strange, then you’ll eventually be able to head to the Ancient Sanctum. Ancient Sanctum When we were there for a peek at the land, we were able to walk around some of the space near the Ancient Sanctum. Ancient Sanctum Here’s a look at some of the unique rock work in the area. Ancient Sanctum We’ll definitely be interested to see this location in action once it’s fully available for guests to enjoy. Ancient Sanctum Be sure to keep an eye out for more details on that. Eats Pym Test Kitchen In terms of food, there are a few options inside of Avengers Campus. First up, we’ve got Pym Test Kitchen!

Avengers Campus officially opens on June 4th at Disney California Adventure Park! Pym Test Kitchen We were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at this new land recently and now we’re sharing a look at all it has to offer with you!! While there is a new attraction to talk about, as well as merchandise, and more, we’re focusing this post on one of the most important aspects of any Disney World theme park land…the FOOD! Specifically, we’re sharing a first look at one of the new restaurants in Avengers Campus, Pym Test Kitchen. You know, the one with the $100 sandwich?! Entrance Area and Atmosphere We start our mini tour of Pym Test Kitchen from the outside. Here’s a look at the Pym Test Kitchen and the area surrounding it. Pym Test Kitchen If you’re wondering where this is in the land overall, you’ll find it on the part of the land that is closer to Guardians of the Galaxy MISSION: BREAKOUT! ©Disney Inside the restaurant, you’ll find a number of screens displaying the food items available. There are specific numbers on the floor and up above to indicate where guests should go to pick up their food. Pym Test Kitchen You’ll also find a variety of pretzels floating around, some of which are VERY small (peep the one to the right in the photo above) and others which are quite large! Looks like they’ve really been doing a lot of experimenting here! Pretzels! There are stations where guests will place their order with a Cast Member. Note the plexiglass surrounding the ordering station. Pym Test Kitchen Marvel fans will be thrilled to find easter eggs and more details throughout this entire space. All Kinds of Details! There are all kinds of images and displays on the walls discussing Pym particles and more! So Much to Look At! You’ll want to stop and take a look at these during your visit! Drink Stations and More Need to grab a drink? Find your way over to the GIANT soda cans in the ceiling… Wow! …which appear to be “hooked up” to the actual soda dispensers. Notice that little bread tag with a date on it by the sodas? It’s got 03 Aug on it, which actually represents the birthday of Evangeline Lilly, the actress that plays Hope van Dyne in Ant Man. Soda Set-Up With More Details Everywhere Elsewhere, you’ll find another bread tag with the date 06 Apr, which represents the birthday of Paul Rudd, the actor who plays Ant Man! See That Date? The soda machines available are actually Coca-Cola Freestyle machines, which had a very special offering…do you spot it? What Would You Like? It’s Pingo Doce!! Marvel fans will recognize this drink’s special connection with Bruce Banner, who worked on a Pino Doce Bottling Plant during The Incredible Hulk. Will this drink have some of the Hulk’s gamma-infused blood? Seems unlikely, but you can try it for yourself when you visit Avengers Campus! Pick Your Drink! Need some coffee or hot chocolate to fuel your day? That’s available here too! Coffee and More How about some ketchup or mustard? Looks like you’ll have some GIANT options available for that too! That’s a Lot of Ketchup! Seems there is quite a lot of experimentation going on here with those Pym particles! These are a nod to DCA’s old Bountiful Valley Farm area. And spot the 2001 date on the bottles? That’s the year that Disney California Adventure opened. Food But enough already about the atmosphere, let’s get into the food!! During our trip, we got quite a few items. We’ll be sharing more details about the food later, but here’s a sneak peek!! First up, here’s the Not so Little Chicken Sandwich! This sandwich is made with a fried chicken breast, teriyaki and red chili sauces, and pickled cabbage slaw, which is all then served on brioche. It also comes with a site of crispy potato bits. Not so Little Chicken Sandwich That’s one big piece of chicken compared to the bun!! You can grab this sandwich for $15.49. Let’s Dig In!!! Next up, there’s the Atomic Fusion Pretzel which definitely has some bright colors going on! The pretzel is made buffalo-style, loaded with chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery and dill-pickled carrots! You can grab this for $10.49. Atomic Fusion Pretzel Looking for something plant-based? Pym Test Kitchen has you covered with the Impossible Spoonful. This dish is made with rigatoni and ditalini pastas, plant-based meat-balls, tomato sauce, dairy-free parmesan and micro basil. Looks like some of those meatballs were hit with the particles that make them grow very large while others have been shrunken down a bit! You can get this dish for $13.99. Time to Eat!! And that’s a first look at Pym Test Kitchen! We’ll be sharing a FULL look at the food, and later a full review as well, so be sure to look out for that!

Avengers Campus is opening SOON and we have a FIRST LOOK at a lot of the food! Schawarma Palace Avengers Campus is the newest land in Disney California Adventure where YOU become a recruit to the Avengers! There’s a LOT of new theming, a new ride, and (of course) NEW FOOD! The main restaurant is Pym Test Kitchen, but equally exciting is the Shawarma Palace cart and now we have a FIRST LOOK at not only the cart but the food as well. Shawarma Palace is a cart based on the Shawarma joint that the Avengers visit at the end of the first Avengers film. It’s supposed to have “New York’s Tastiest” shawarma-inspired snacks and we got to give them a first taste! Shawarma Palace The cart itself looks just like the kind of shawarma cart that you see in New York City, plus some Avengers memorabilia. As for the eats, they’re all displayed in the window of the cart! Shawarma Palace The menu is fairly limited with just two snack options — the New York’s Tastiest (Chicken Shawarma Wrap, Garlic Spread and Coconut Yogurt-Tahini Sauce with Pickled Vegetables) and the Impossible Victory Falafel (Plant-based Falafel and Cauliflower Wrap, Garlic Spread, Hummus and Coconut Yogurt-Tahini Sauce with Pickled Vegetables). Shawarma Palace We got the chance to try both wraps! Even though our reporter is a meat-eater, they liked the Impossible Victory Falafel over the New York’s Tastiest but both were GREAT! The coconut yogurt-tahini sauce came with both and was a good tzatziki-style addition. Shawarma Palace We’ll be bringing you a LOT more coverage from Avengers Campus in the coming days (including reviews of ALL the food), so stay tuned to DFB.

Avengers Campus opens THIS WEEK!!! Pym Test Kitchen We’ve already gotten a look at some Avengers Campus merchandise, checked out the rules for what happens if Avengers Campus reaches capacity, and shared all of the details on the menus for the restaurants and kiosks opening with the land. But, recently we also got a peek at the land in person! So today we’re bringing you a first look at some of the unique food items you’ll be able to get in one of the land’s new spots — Pym Test Kitchen!! Pym Test Kitchen will be serving up some tasty treats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can click here to get a look at their breakfast menu and here to see what they’ll be serving up for lunch and dinner. Pym Test Kitchen The restaurant itself is full of cool references to some of your favorite Marvel characters and more. But, in this post, we’ll be focusing on the FOOD!! During our sneak peek at the land, we got to check out a whole bunch of the items that will be available for lunch and dinner here. Let’s dive into them now! First up, here’s the Not so Little Chicken Sandwich! This sandwich is made with a fried chicken breast, teriyaki and red chili sauces, and pickled cabbage slaw, which is all then served on brioche. It also comes with a side of crispy potato bites. Not so Little Chicken Sandwich That’s one big piece of chicken compared to the bun!! You can grab this sandwich for $15.49. This sandwich was very tasty and did have some kick to it, which was really good! Let’s Dig In!!! Next up, there’s the Atomic Fusion Pretzel which definitely has some bright colors going on! The pretzel is made buffalo-style, loaded with chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, celery and dill-pickled carrots! You can grab this for $10.49. This pretzel also had some kick to it with that hot sauce, which was really nice. If you just want the pretzel without all of the toppings, though, you can get it plain but it’ll be the same cost. Atomic Fusion Pretzel Looking for something plant-based? Pym Test Kitchen has you covered with the Impossible Spoonful. This dish is made with rigatoni and ditalini pastas, plant-based meatballs, tomato sauce, dairy-free parmesan and micro basil. Looks like some of those meatballs were hit with the particles that make them grow very large while others have been shrunken down a bit! You can get this dish for $13.99. Overall, this pasta was great! Very yummy and we couldn’t even really tell that it was plant-based and didn’t have “real” cheese and meat. Time to Eat!! Next up, here’s a look at the Pym-ini Sandwich! This dish is made with Salami, Rosemary Ham, Provolone and Sun-dried Tomato Spread on Toasted Focaccia served with Marinara Dipping Sauce and Arugula Salad. You can grab it for $14.49. Essentially this little beauty tasted like a pizza sandwich (which, if you’ve never made one at home, come back to us when you have cause it’s a delicious snack you’ll LOVE to make time and time again). Pym-ini Sandwich And don’t forget to look everywhere (including right near your food) for more hidden details! So Many Fun Details! If you’re planning on sharing the meal with some hungry friends, then you might want to grab the Family-sized Pym-ini which is essentially the same sandwich as the Pym-ini above but it’s served with potato bites and is big enough to serve a total of 6-8 guests. This Family-sized creation will cost you $99.99 though!!! And we couldn’t make a stop here without grabbing some Pingo Doce! Fans will recognize this drink from The Incredible Hulk! You can get this in a regular-sized option, but if you’re feeling very thirsty, you can get it (or any Coca-Cola beverage) in an oversized Pingo Doce soda can for $22.99. Pick Your Drink! Overall, the drink itself was very sweet! If you like that type of thing, then it might be perfect for you.

There’s nothing like buying a Mickey Balloon that lets you know that you are DEFINITELY in Disney World. Whether you buy one on every trip or you just enjoy watching them float along Main Street, U.S.A., the balloons are a special Disney World souvenir that brings a whole bunch of smiles to a whole bunch of people! We sure love Mickey Balloons, even if they are a tad overpriced! That’s why we get REALLY excited when we spot new balloons around the resort, and this latest design available in Disney Springs is perfect if you’re a fan of the new “Kingdom of Cute” collection! We’ve spotted other Kingdom of Cute merchandise designed by Jerrod Maruyama in Disney Springs this year already, and now the collection includes its very own Mickey Balloon! Kingdom of Cute balloons sure are…cute! The balloons include a TON of our favorite Disney characters, including Alice, Tinker Bell, Mulan, and Peter Pan! How many characters can you spot? We’ll admit that dropping double digits on a balloon is a bit of a splurge (that’s putting it mildly), but come on…look at how stinkin’ cute these are! Seriously, look at Minnie in her little princess outfit! Okay, we’re convinced. We’ll buy a balloon. If you want to grab one on your next Disney World vacation, you can find them in Disney Springs for $14!

Disney can be on top of the merchandise trends, and sometimes they even make some of their own. ©Stitch Crashes Disney This year, we’ve been following along with the Stitch Crashes Disney monthly merchandise series in which our favorite blue abomination crashes our favorite Disney movies. This has resulted in a spaghetti-covered Stitch, a wooden Stitch, and even a creepy bug-covered Stitch. Now, we’re looking ahead to what’s to come for this series! When the collection was first announced, it came with a teaser for the first six installations of the collection. Stitch would be crashing Beauty and the Beast, Lady and the Tramp, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, and Aladdin. But we DIDN’T know what other six movies would inspire a collection of merchandise! ©Stitch Crashes Disney Now, Disney has announced the latter six movies to be represented in the Stitch Crashes Disney collection! We can look forward to Stitch Crashes Sleeping Beauty, Stitch Crashes Snow White, Stitch Crashes The Jungle Book, Stitch Crashes Pocahontas, Stitch Crashes Peter Pan, and Stitch Crashes Mulan! ©Stitch Crashes Disney And yep, they’ll be releasing in that order!

Magic Kingdom has a LOT of iconic rides. PeopleMover One of which is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. We’re still relishing the fact that we can ride the PeopleMover again after over a year of closure, but everything hasn’t gone off without a hitch. Just yesterday, the ride had to be evacuated, and (spoiler alert), today was no different. We were cruising along the PeopleMover in Tomorrowland when it came to a stop in the middle of the ride. For a while, it eeked forward every few minutes only to stop after a few seconds. PeopleMover We spotted that Cast Members had stopped loading guests onto the ride at the platform. PeopleMover And, sure enough, after a while of being stuck on the ride, we noticed that guests were being evacuated! Just like yesterday, Cast Members came to take guests from the stopped ride vehicles and walk them along the narrow side paths of the ride to an exit. PeopleMover After exiting, evacuated guests received a Fastpass in the My Disney Experience app that works for any attraction in the park beside Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or Peter Pan’s Flight. PeopleMover We will keep you posted on the ride in the coming days. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates from Disney World! Click here to see yesterday’s evacuation!

It’s warmin’ up in Florida, and we’re craving something SWEET! Good’s Food To Go Now, we’ve tried lots of treats lately, from donuts to cake to refreshing sips. But on a recent trip to Disney’s Old Key West Resort, we noticed something new up for grabs! Good’s Food To Go is now offering soft-serve ice cream! And they’re JUST in time for summer. Now, we’ve seen several hotels servin’ up ice cream, and it seems like Old Key West has taken some notes and done the same. Soft-Serve Ice Cream Is Officially Here! You can choose between chocolate, vanilla, or chocolate-vanilla swirl. And if you don’t want to commit to buying a big ol’ cup, you can snag a sample instead! It makes for the perfect quick bite. Samples? Yes, please! Of course, we’re ALL for a nice ‘n’ cold dessert. So we opted for the full-sized chocolate-vanilla swirl soft-serve! You’ll also get an option to add Mickey-shaped sprinkles on top (spoiler: we said YES.). We ordered the chocolate-vanilla swirl! This is your everyday soft-serve ice cream, but it’s a great summer snack! We’re happy to see it added to the menu. But heads up: it does melt FAST! So enjoy it while you can. It’s melting!! We would love to eventually see more flavors offered here, but since they JUST added soft-serve to the menu, we think 3 options is pretty great! Plus, those Mickey sprinkles add an adorable touch. Mickey sprinkles for the win! If you’re in the mood for a good ol’ cup of ice cream, be sure to stop by Good’s Food To Go. Your cup of soft-serve will cost ya $4.49! And if you’re elsewhere on property, pop by BoardWalk Bakery for some MORE soft-serve, or Pineapple Lanai at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for some soft-serve Dole Whip!
