We’re back at Alfresco Tasting Terrace in Disney California Adventure Park for the first time in…well, we don’t mean to quote Anna, but “for the first time in forever!” Alfreso Tasting Terrace Is Open! This Legacy Passholder-exclusive lounge reopened today for the first time in months, and we couldn’t wait to check out the latest eats and drinks available! Amongst all of the food and beverages items to choose from, our curiosity truly piqued when we noticed the Pizza Oom Mow Wow! This concoction is a Pizza-inspired Bloody Mary with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and flavors of Pineapple, Pepperoncini, and Mushroom. It’s a Pizza Bloody Mary!! Okay, for starters, let’s just talk about the little SLICE OF PIZZA on the side of this drink!! We would like to formally request that all drinks now come with a mini slice of pizza please and thank you. A Tiny Pizza!! For those who have been fans of Disney California Adventure for a LONG time the name of this drink will actually sound a bit familiar. Pizza Oom Mow Mow was a counter-service pizza restaurant located in Disney California Adventure on Paradise Pier. It closed back in 2010 and transformed into BoardWalk Pizza & Pasta. Another Look at What Comes With This Drink Okay, so the tiny pizza is adorable, but how does the drink taste? Well, in our opinion, Bloody Marys are one of those “ya love it or ya hate it” drinks, so we do feel like we have to make a full disclosure here. Our reporter who tried this drink does NOT like Bloody’s Marys, like…at all. Because they’re not a fan of Bloody Marys, they said they had a REALLY hard time enjoying this drink. What Do You Think? That said, they did think that the drink really tasted like pizza, which is fun. Overall, they said that Bloody Mary fans will probably really enjoy this, especially if they’re looking for something with a playful twist. If you aren’t a fan of Bloody Marys though, you will want to skip this drink! You Gotta Love Bloody Marys! At $17, it’s pretty pricey and will actually run you a dollar or two more than most of the cocktails on the menu. But, if you love Bloody Marys and pizza, maybe this will be the drink of your dreams! If you’re curious to try this drink for yourself, make sure you have your Legacy Passholder information handy and book yourself a reservation at Alfresco Tasting Terrace!

The theme parks at Disneyland Resort have reopened, along with the Downtown Disney District and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel. Disneyland Hotel Soon, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will be reopening, and earlier today Disney announced that the Disneyland Hotel will soon welcome guests again. But, the Disneyland Hotel will look a little different than how we left it! Today, Disney shared that the Disneyland Hotel will be reopening in early July. But, things in the hotel will look a little different! Disney has shared that during the park and hotel closures, a number of changes have been made to the guest rooms and other areas of the Disneyland Hotel. That’s the Disneyland Hotel! Specifically, in the guest rooms, lobbies, and meeting rooms, the upholstery and fabrics have been refreshed and updated. The guest rooms now have a new fireworks-inspired design in the carpet. There will also be upgraded platform beds in the rooms to help guests maximize storage. Here’s A Look at an Old Disneyland Hotel Room for Reference The corridor flooring has also been updated to feature new patterns inspired by the art of Mary Blair.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is one of the newest rides in Disney World, but it can also be one of the toughest to get on. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance To get on Rise of the Resistance, you’ll need to join a boarding group which can be difficult enough on its own. But, aside from getting a Boarding Group, technical issues and other problems can arise (just as they do with any other Disney ride) that cause Rise of the Resistance to close temporarily. And it looks like today is one of those days, as Rise of the Resistance is temporarily closed in Disney World. A big thanks to our reader Joe (@schreiberjoe on Instagram) for alerting us to this. When we checked the “Join Boarding Group” section of our My Disney Experience app today around 1:10PM ET, we got a message from Disney. The message indicates that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is unavailable today and that the ride will not be able to board any recruits. ©Disney The ride also appears as “temporarily unavailable” in the My Disney Experience app. ©Disney So, it seems Rise of the Resistance will be unavailable today in Disney World. Of course, that is subject to change, so we’ll look for any updates. Disney has not shared what caused them to close the ride today, but we’ll keep an eye out for more information and let you know what we find. Click here to see a recent change that was made that could make getting a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group way easier! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Earlier today, we told you about a brand-new ice cream spot coming to Disney’s BoardWalk! BoardWalk Ice Cream BoardWalk Ice Cream is replacing Ample Hills Creamery, after that company closed its BoardWalk location and filed for bankruptcy. We’ve been following the construction on the empty space for quite some time, and now, we know exactly what’s goin’ on! And if you’re itching to try the new eats here, we ALSO know what’ll be up for grabs. First of all, BoardWalk Ice Cream is showing hours starting TODAY, May 20th, from 3PM-10PM!

Theme parks have made some BIG changes recently when it comes to altered health and safety regulations. And, if you’re left with questions, you aren’t alone! Disney World Face Mask Since the end of April, Americans over the age of 16 have had access to the COVID-19 vaccine. And, now this accessibility is being extended to individuals ages 12 to 15 years old. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that those who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks indoors or outdoors, except in certain situations. After that updated guidance from the CDC was issued, theme parks made numerous changes to their own policies. Today, we’re giving you all the details of what you need to know about how the face mask rules have changed in Disney World, Universal Orlando, and beyond! CDC Guidelines Recently, based on updated research the CDC made a big update to its mask guidance. CDC officials announced that individuals who have been fully vaccinated can resume activities without wearing a mask or physical distancing from others, with a few exceptions. ©CDC It’s important to note that the CDC identifies people to be “fully vaccinated” 2 weeks after they received their final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC still maintains that people who are not fully vaccinated should continue to wear face masks and maintain an appropriate physical distance from others in many settings, including when attending a crowded, outdoor event like a live performance or parade. ©CDC After health officials set these updated protocols in place, theme parks promptly made modifications to their face covering protocols. Learn more about the CDC’s mask changes for fully vaccinated people. Theme Park Updates Dollywood and Hershey Park Even before the CDC’s updated announcement, we saw theme parks like Dolly Parton’s Dollywood in Tennessee begin relaxing face mask policies and getting rid of mandatory temperature checks. ©Dollywood After the CDC released their updated mask policies, Hershey Park in Pennsylvania quickly announced changes to their policies. In Hershey Park, guests who are fully vaccinated do not have to wear face coverings or social distance. ©Hershey Park Hershey Park has also stated that it will not require proof of guests’ vaccination status. Instead, the park notes that it will rely on its visitors to accurately follow the guidelines based on their own vaccination status. Similar to the CDC’s recommendations, guests who haven’t been fully vaccinated are expected to continue wearing masks and distancing. Click here to see more about the rules at Hershey Park. Universal Orlando Soon afterward, other major theme parks began to make similar changes. Universal Orlando had already removed temperature checks and distancing guidelines previously. Then, on May 14th, Universal Orlando made the announcement that ALL guests would no longer be required to wear face masks outdoors (except in certain situations), regardless of what their vaccination status may be. ©Universal Face masks are still be required, however, in both indoor and outdoor queues, in all attractions, in indoor areas (like shops), in restaurants until you’re seated at your table, and in indoor hotel public areas. Click here to see more about the updated rules at Universal Orlando. Disney World Bob Chapek, the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, had previously indicated that Disney World was increasing its park capacity “given the guidance that just came today, from the CDC, and earlier guidance that [they] got from the governor of Florida.” In turn, Park Pass availability also increased. Main Street Chapek also stated that the CDC’s modified requirements could “make for an even more pleasant experience” for the guests and Cast Members in the parks, “particularly if anybody’s been in Florida in the middle of the summer with a mask on.” Disney also released an official statement that “Today’s guidance from the CDC allowing fully vaccinated individuals to remove masks and the removal of physical distancing requirements is extremely positive news and as soon as is practical we will implement updated guidelines across our businesses.” Hollywood Studios Disney World had already been making modifications in the parks regarding its health and safety policies. Disney had already announced that it would be phasing out temperature checks and gradually reducing physical distancing measures. Disney also recently started allowing guests to take off their masks for outdoor photos briefly. But the big change came late in the evening on May 14th. That’s when Disney World announced that guests, regardless of their vaccination status, will no longer be required to wear masks outdoors, except in certain situations. ©Disney Face coverings are now optional in outdoor common areas and pool decks. But, they are still required upon entering and during all attractions, in all theaters (and their entrances) in all transportation (and their entrances), in restaurants (unless actively eating or drinking while stationary), and in all indoor locations. ©Disney As these policies have already gone into effect. We have also seen that temperature checks have ended a bit earlier than originally anticipated and distancing signs have started to be updated across the parks and resorts to show Disney’s changes. We’ve also seen distancing measures reduced at The Festival of the Lion King and another show in Disney World. Keep in mind that while distancing measures are being reduced in Disney World, some physical distancing is still being enforced. ©Disney Disney notes that physical distancing is gradually being reduced but 6-feet distancing measures continue in dining locations, stores, and select other places. Click here to get a FIRST LOOK at masks no longer being required outdoors in Disney World. MORE Changes That May Be Coming to Theme Parks in the Future At this time, Disney World, Universal Orlando, and many other businesses that have changed their mask policies aren’t asking visitors for proof of their vaccination status. Some places, however, have been looking into the use of vaccine passports, which would allow customers to show their vaccination status or potentially recent COVID-19 test results. Health and government officials have talked about possible platforms that may enable the use of vaccine passports. But, Florida has banned the use of vaccine passports in the state. Disney Mask and Essentials Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already signed an Executive Order banning the issuance and use of vaccine passports in the state. The Florida legislature has also passed a bill, which was signed into law by the Florida Governor and will become effective soon, that prohibits Florida businesses and government agencies from requiring vaccine passports. Cast Member Alerting Policy Change While Disney and Universal Orlando are not currently requiring any proof of vaccination, this law would prevent them from doing so in the future. As the situation with COVID-19 changes, we may continue to see more changes made in the theme parks such as further reductions in social distancing, greater relaxation of mask rules, the reopening of experiences that are still closed, and more. We’ve already seen several things returning to “normal” in Disney World, and more changes are likely on the way. But, that will likely all depend on the situation with the pandemic, case numbers, vaccination rates, and when/how the theme parks decide it is the right time to make more changes.

You scream, I scream, we all scream for…ICE CREAM! There are quite a few places in Disney World where you can get some delicious, cold, and refreshing treats including Beaches & Cream Soda Shop and L’Artisan des Glaces. Time for a Little Trip to Disney’s BoardWalk! Previously, ice cream fans could also head to Ample Hills Creamery at Disney’s BoardWalk. Ample Hills Creamery closed that location in 2020 after the company filed for bankruptcy. That space at the BoardWalk has since sat closed for quite some time. But now something NEW is coming!! Earlier this year, we noticed some activity going on in the space that used to be home to Ample Hills Creamery on Disney’s BoardWalk. Back in March, there was a boom lift in front of the store and some people were working on the main signage area. Ample Hills Construction At the time, we didn’t have any information to indicate whether this was simply part of the process of removing Ample Hills signage from the store or if it was a sign that Disney was making space for something new. But now we’ve got a BIG UPDATE! Ample Hills Construction A BRAND NEW ice cream store will soon be taking over Ample Hills’ former space! A New Ice Cream Spot! The new shop will be called Boardwalk Ice Cream. BoardWalk Ice Cream Official menu information and an opening date have not yet been shared. But, we’ll keep an eye out for more updates!

The Disney Dining Plan has remained suspended since the parks reopened last summer. The Crystal Palace While Disney has not indicated when it could return, we have seen that it is not available (for now, at least) to add to vacation packages in 2021 and 2022. However, today Disney announced a 2022 50th anniversary vacation package for U.K. residents — which includes a “Disney Dining Credit.” So…what does this mean for the Disney Dining Plan? Well, here’s what we know. Historically, the Disney Dining Plan has allowed guests to pre-pay for a select number of meals and snacks for their vacation. Depending on which Dining Plan you used, you would be given be given a specified number of snack credits and fast food and/or sit-down meal credits per day, along with a refillable mug for each guest. Essentially, this means Dining Plan guests could pre-pay for most of their food (excluding gratuity at Table Service restaurants) before their trip even began. Mickey and Pluto at Garden Grill! Now, the new U.K. 50th anniversary package includes up to a $950 Disney Dining Credit per room (your credit level scales depending on what level of resort you’re staying at), so long as that room is booked for a minimum of 2 weeks. It’s basically a gift card for food! The Dining Promo Card can be used at “select participating food and beverage locations within the Walt Disney World Resort” — and cannot be used to purchase merch or anything else in the parks. Not a Bad View! Although the Disney Dining Credit is by no means identical to the Disney Dining Plan (for starters, we’re looking at a set amount of “cash” instead of credits), you could argue that this means the Disney Dining Plan is returning in some capacity in 2022. But how do these 2 offers compare? Well, for starters, the U.K. Disney Dining Credit offers significantly less bang for your buck. Housemade Spring Rolls in Adventureland Even that max $950 credit, when divided up over 2 weeks, adds up to roughly $68 per day. That doesn’t really come close to covering your family’s food in the parks — but the Disney Dining Plan did (for the most part). So yes, the Disney Dining Credit will help towards food costs — and it’s definitely a nice perk to the package! — but it won’t cover all of your expenses. In this way, we can’t really equate it to the Disney Dining Plan. The Plaza Restaurant Still, the idea of prepaid meals (even in gift card form) does sound kinda like a modified version of the Dining Plan — at least until its return. You could argue that it’s an answer to the Dining Plan while it’s on pause! And with the DDP currently unavailable through 2022 (although that is subject to change), this seems like the closest we’re going to get at the moment. You can check out the full package here! Like we mentioned, Disney hasn’t indicated when the Disney Dining Plan as we know it will return — so U.K. residents, enjoy this version for now. And stay tuned to DFB — we’ll keep ya posted with the latest updates. Read More About This New Vacation Package! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been seeing the return of the Disney College Program! Cinderella Castle The Disney College Program in Disney World and Disneyland was suspended when the parks closed in March 2020 — but a few weeks ago, Disney announced that it was inviting back Spring 2020 participants who had been sent home. And now, the program has exciting news for other students! Applications have opened to everyone! Previously, only participants who had been sent home last year could reapply for this “new” version of the program. But now everyone, so long as they meet the program’s qualifications, can fill out an application. Disney shared on Instagram that applications would only be open for a “limited” time, for program arrival dates between June and July 2021. Those hoping to start in August or September 2021 can apply, but their acceptance will be based on business need. ©Disney Disney has continued to stress that for now, only the Disney College Program in Disney World has returned. International Programs, the Disney Culinary Program, and the Disney College Program in Disneyland remain suspended. We’ll be sure to keep you posted with more news and updates, so stay tuned to DFB!
