There are a lot of snacks we love in Walt Disney World. (When we say “a lot,” we mean a LOT.) Delicious fried goodness, if you ask us. We’re fans of the sweet, the salty, the savory, and especially…the cheesy! And if you’ve been reading our site for a while, then you’ll also know that we’re bread lovers. (Bring on the CARBS!) And in honor of our love of bread, today we’re talking about a very special kind — pretzels. Where can you find the best ones in Disney World? You’re about to find out! Today we’re taking you on a pretzel tour around The World (Disney World, that is.) to show you some of our favorites that you need to try. Each pretzel is unique and beautiful in its own way, and that’s why we’re awarding them superlatives today — so you know which kind to get for every occasion. Most Likely to Leave You Stuffed — Air Pirate’s Cargo Loaded Pretzel Want a pretzel piled high with a full meal? You need to stop by Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar in Disney Springs to try out this gargantuan appetizer! It’s basically a gigantic soft pretzel stuffed with the components of a charcuterie board and it is glorious. Air Pirate’s Cargo Loaded Pretzel Along with the pretzel, you’ll find prosciutto, sliced brats, artisan pepperoni, smoked cheddar, black diamond cheddar, caraway pickles, spicy mustard, and beer cheese fondue. But be warned, it isn’t cheap! You may want to eat this as your meal or split it with a friend because it’s $22. We honestly don’t mind paying the price though, it’s just THAT good. Click Here to See Our Review of Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar! Best On-the-Go — Colossal Pretzel When they say “colossal,” they aren’t kidding. If you stop by Pongu Pongu in Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can find this beast of a snack, served with a side of beer cheese sauce. That’s one BIG pretzel. Salty, chewy, dipped in cheese…what more could we ask for? If you’re in the mood for a pretzel and you want it FAST, then all you’ll have to do is stop by this small snack stand, shell out $10.49, and boom, the pretzel is all yours. What a dream come true. Want to Know About the Best Snacks in Pandora? Click Here. Served with the Best Side — Bavarian Pretzel You know what the BEST accompaniment to your pretzel is (in our humble opinion)? CHEESE. You know where you can find the best cheese to go with your pretzel in Disney World? BaseLine Tap House. Okay, now say it with us…YUM. This spot is a DFB favorite for when you want a drink, a snack, and a laid-back place to chill in Hollywood Studios. And their $9 Bavarian Pretzel has definitely earned its way onto this list with its delicious beer-cheese fondue (and spicy mustard, but we really just want to talk about the cheese). It’s the right flavor, the right texture, and it makes us want to go back again and again to order this Bavarian Pretzel! Click Here for a Review of BaseLine Tap House! Best Surprise Inside — Warm Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Pretzels are great and all, but we really think they’re best when they come alongside something special. Usually that “something special” is mustard or cheese (and we certainly don’t complain about that) but for some pretzels at Disney World, that seems too ordinary. Say hello to the Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel — the king of the stuffed pretzel game! Oh yeah…we want these all the time. This soft, warm pretzel is covered in breadcrumbs and filled inside with cream cheese frosting. Could we BE more in love? You won’t find this bad boy everywhere in Disney World though, we’ve only spotted it in a few places and it tends to disappear and reapppear, namely at the cart next to Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Hollywood Studios and at Lunching Pad in Magic Kingdom. When you do find it, it’s up to you to determine if the $6.79 is worth it. (Spoiler, we think it is.) Click Here to See Where to Find This Pretzel! Most Elusive — Pepper Jack Stuffed Pretzel This next pretzel is hard to find, and as of right now, we’ve only seen it in one place in Disney World…under a different name than we’re used to. (Is it trying to hide from us?) But sneaking around aside, we really love the Pepper Jack Stuffed Pretzel! Cheese, give us all the CHEESE. The Pepper Jack Stuffed Pretzel is stuffed with, you guessed it, pepper jack cheese. Why have your pretzel dipped in cheese when you can have it FILLED with cheese?! Right now, the only place we’ve seen it on the menu is at BoardWalk Joe’s Marvelous Margaritas, and here it’s known as the Jalapeño-Stuffed Pretzel. We’ll continue to look out for this snack in the parks, but it seems like the pretzel is gone on a long vacation! Click Here to Learn About Our Favorite Disney World Snacks! Most Photogenic — Mickey Pretzel and Simba Pretzel For our last category, we’ve awarded the Mickey Pretzel and the Simba Pretzel the honor of being “most photogenic.” They may not be the best-tasting or the most unique of the bunch, but we’ll be darned if they don’t look good on your Instagram feed! Come on, who wouldn’t like that picture?! There’s just something so magical about a snack shaped like your favorite Disney character, and what’s a trip to Disney World without a Mickey-shaped treat? Even though they aren’t our absolute favorites, we can’t deny these classics a spot on our list! Click Here to Check Out Our Mickey-Shaped Snack Crawl!

As the Biden Administration preparing to share updated CDC policies regarding outdoor face mask wearing for individuals who are fully vaccinated, more discussions are taking place when it comes to the continued effectiveness of face mask wearing in combination with physical distancing. Minnie Mouse knows the importance of a comfortable face covering! In an effort to provide more information on the subject, University of Central Florida teamed up with The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) to conduct a study that examined speech and cough events and how far away from the individual droplets and aerosols traveled from those coughs or speaking. The study, which was published by IAAPA, looked at both speech and cough “events” with individuals wearing no face covering, individuals wearing a cloth face covering, individuals wearing a three-layer face covering, and individuals wearing an N95 face covering. Face Masks The study “indicates that 3ft(0.914) physical distancing with face coverings is more effective at reducing aerosol/droplet exposure than 6ft(1.829m) without covering.” So, essentially the study from IAAPA seems to indicate that “three feet of physical distancing with face coverings provides less risk than six feet of physical distancing without masks.” Physical distancing signage What does this mean for theme parks like Disney World? Currently, the park’s policies on physical distancing seem to be in-step with CDC guidelines. From what we’ve seen in the parks, distancing between parties continues to be six feet in combination with face mask wearing, in accordance with CDC recommendations. If these findings result in a modification or update from the CDC, it’s possible that we could see a reduction in physical distancing in the parks. However, as of this writing, safe physical distancing is still six feet, and face masks are still required to be worn in the parks. Distancing Markers Back in March, discussions began regarding the possibility of lowering physical distancing guidelines from six feet to three feet, specifically in K-12 schools. With more eligible adults receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, it’s possible that transmission rates could decline, not only from non-pharmaceutical measures like face masks and physical distancing, but from a rise in immunity amongst adults. Remember to continue to wear face masks properly! Remember that this is one study’s conclusions, and the CDC’s current guidelines still say to “stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from other people who are not from your household in both indoor and outdoor spaces.” Socially Distanced Queue With updated CDC guidance on outdoor face mask wearing on the horizon, we’ll keep an eye out for the latest policy changes at the national and local level, in addition to the latest health and safety guidelines from Disney!

We love spending a day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’re at Animal Kingdom again! You know we’ve made a few visits to Disney World’s wildest park over the past few days and that means we’ve noticed some CHANGES! So, we’re checking in with an update on everything new in food, construction, and merchandise. Animal Kingdom Food Updates Flame Tree Barbecue We noticed that Flame Tree Barbecue had its opening time listed a little bit earlier than usual on the My Disney Experience app. It was listed as opening at 10:15AM. Flame Tree Barbecue Joffrey’s Cart The Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Cart right near the entrance of Animal Kingdom had a Spinach and Cheese Croissant available. This pastry isn’t new to Joffrey’s but we wanted to give it an updated try. Think the Florida Sun Will Toast It Up? This was a pretty good pastry and a GREAT option if you’re looking for a savory, grab-and-go option in the morning. Click here for our FULL REVIEW of this Joffrey’s option! Restaurantosaurus Restaurantosaurus had a surprising and hard-to-spot change when we visited. Notice anything different about the sign above the restaurant? Do you like the new addition? Yep, that Impossible burger sign is new! Want to see more of this change? Click here! Animal Kingdom Construction Updates Various Locations Two new digital screens have been added to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, one by the bridge between Asia and Dinoland and another near Pizzafari headed towards Pandora. Screen in Asia Right now, the screens show health and safety messaging but they may have wait times in the future. To see more of these additions, click here! Oasis The bridge in Oasis near the waterfall has reopened from a brief closure! Oasis Asia If you’ve been to Animal Kingdom, you’ve probably stood and watched the gibbons hang out or play around in Asia. Gibbons! Well during one of our visits, the Gibbons were being QUITE noisy. There must have been some serious monkey business to talk about — or should we say ape business since Gibbons are actually apes? Click here to see more of these noisy pals! Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Discovery Trading Co. Now, on to the merchandise updates! We spotted a Cast Member removing the paper from inside the Native shoes. We’re not sure why! Native shoes Riverside Depot Over at Riverside Depot, there were new Loungefly Card ID Holders for $20 each. There’s one with Mickey’s face… Loungefly Card ID Holder …and one that’s more ear-centric. Loungefly Card ID Holder African Carving Kiosk And the African Carving Kiosk got our attention too. These souvenirs aren’t new but we got stuck wondering if they’re the coolest or the CREEPIEST souvenirs in Disney World! African Carved Walking Stick What do you think of the Carved African Walking Sticks? Want to see more pics of these walking sticks? Click here! And that’s all from Disney’s Animal Kingdom this time!

We are in the final countdown until the reopening of Disneyland Resort and we’re just a little (okay, very) excited! You’ll be here SOON! With all the updates on what restaurants and rides will reopen with the parks, when you’ll be able to secure a boarding group for Star Wars Rise of the Resistance, and everything else Disneyland has announced, it can be easy to forget the simpler things. But there’s one thing that could bring your Disneyland plans to a halt if you forget… …and that’s proof of California residency. Disneyland Resort is only opening for California residents as of right now, so those who have secured both a valid theme park ticket and a park pass reservation, also need to remember to bring proof of California residency. Today Disney shared, “Also, be sure you have proof of California residency with you as only California residents may visit the parks at this time. You may be asked to show such proof of residency, as necessary.” So be sure you’ve got it! Love these views Other things to do before you head out to your first day back in Disneyland is to download the Disneyland app, check in to your room if you’re staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and be prepared to secure your boarding group for Rise of the Resistance at 7AM if you have a park pass for Disneyland park. Get ready to snag your boarding group BEFORE you leave for the park! So, pack your bags and be sure you have proof of California residency with you so that you don’t get stuck at the gate because there are lots of rides, restaurants, and characters awaiting your return! We’ll continue to bring you the latest Disneyland news and updates that you need and, of course, check back with us Friday and follow along during the grand reopening day!

After being closed for over a year, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover FINALLY reopened yesterday! Which part of the ride is YOUR favorite? We had to wait quite a while for this fan-favorite ride to reopen, and while we were waiting, Cast Members had to be evacuated off of the ride when it was being tested. Later in the day, we were finally able to sit in those blue vehicles and take a relaxing ride all around Tomorrowland once more. But, now some the PeopleMover drama has continued. A HUGE thank you to our reader @smcgilloway0301 on Instagram for reaching out to us about this. Today, @smcgilloway0301 shared a photo with us of the PeopleMover…being evacuated!! This appears to have taken place at around 12:40PM today. Poor PeopleMover, it just can’t catch a break! Oh No! As of 2:49PM, however, the ride is not showing that it is temporarily unavailable on My Disney Experience. Instead, it is showing a 40 minute wait on the app, so it appears the problem was short-lived (thankfully)! Time for a Quick Ride? Earlier today, we did see that the wait for the PeopleMover was listed as quite long, although we estimated that its actual wait time wouldn’t be as bad. So just keep that in mind for future park visits. Wondering how to handle an evacuation or emergency like this one in Disney World? Check out our video below! We’ll continue to keep a close eye on the PeopleMover and let you know if we spot any updates. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!

Disneyland theme parks reopen THIS WEEK. Disneyland It certainly has been a LONG time since we’ve stepped foot in Disneyland Park and despite getting to visit during A Touch of Disney, we miss a fully open Disney California Adventure too. Now, as we prep to return on Friday, we’ve got some new details when it comes to parking! Disney just released details for how parking will work at a reopened Disneyland Resort. Guest parking for the parks will be available at both the Mickey & Friends parking structure and the Pixar Pals parking structure. Pixar Pals Parking Garage When you arrive at the toll booths for either structure, you will be asked if you have tickets and a theme park reservation. This has been the case in Disney World since reopening too. Magic Way Pedestrian Bridge Keep in mind that with a theme park reservation, you do not need to rush or arrive early. You will be able to enter the theme park with valid admission and a theme park reservation. Disney recommends that guests do not arrive early and line-ups will not be allowed prior to 6AM on opening weekend — the time that the parking structures and security screenings open. Pixar Pals Parking You should allow some extra time upon arrival for the walk along the pedestrian bridge from the parking structures. Like Disney World, the parking tram will NOT be operating. For those with mobility needs, stroller, wheelchair, and ECV rentals will be available at the parking structures. Magic Way Pedestrian Bridge Also, note that eating or drinking while waiting in line is prohibited by state guidelines, so wrap up any breakfast or coffee in the car before heading for the theme park. As a reminder, visitors to Downtown Disney District will park in the Simba Lot which will change to payment upon exit beginning April 30th. Parking Self Pay station has arrived in Downtown Disney We’ll be reporting LIVE from the reopening of Disneyland later this week so stay tuned to DFB for all the updates.

Disney World has some very cool restaurants, and some of them are difficult to get into. Jedi Mind Trick It can be a challenge to grab a dining reservation for spots like Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom and California Grill in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. One of the HARDEST to get spots is Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, but could that be changing? Let’s see… . Oga’s Cantina is well-known as a VERY difficult-to-book spot due to its popularity and to the fact that it is SMALL. There are not a lot of tables in this small cantina space. You’ll spot some booths, a few standing tables, and bar space; but there isn’t a ton of room for guests — especially with physical distancing. Oga’s Cantina Could Disney do something about this? Maybe. It would be pretty cool for more guests to be seated at Oga’s Cantina at any given time. Well, today, we spotted a permit filed by Disney Imagineering for Oga’s Cantina calling for work to “fabricate and install tables.” ©Disney Ok, hold up. Could Disney be adding more seats to Oga’s Cantina? It’s possible! The fact that the permit says “fabricate” means that the spot may be getting entirely new tables. That could mean that the seating arrangements in the tiny cantina could change. Oga’s Cantina Another possibility is that Disney is replacing tables that already exist. In this instance, we could see refreshments to the booths and standing tables, but it wouldn’t necessarily mean more seating or even that many changes to the way the spot looks. Oga’s Cantina Still, the restaurant has only been open for a few years, so it seems a little early to need to replace the tables. Perhaps Oga’s Cantina IS getting some updates when it comes to seating! Oga’s Cantina Whatever the case, we’ll be keeping a close eye on Oga’s Cantina in the coming weeks to see if we can spot the changes in action. Stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates!

Thinking of traveling this summer? Maybe even flying to Europe? Planning to Fly Soon? About a week ago, we took a look at when Americans might be able to travel to France. And now we’ve got an update when it comes to travel to the European Union as a whole. According to Fox 35 Orlando, the European Union is “finalizing plans to allow tourists from the United States” to travel to the EU this summer. The European Commission has said it would make a recommendation to its member states to allow American travelers back. When exactly will tourists be allowed back? The Commission hasn’t provided an exact date yet. But, one European Commission spokesperson has said that the EU’s executive body is “hoping to restore nonessential ‘trans-Atlantic travel as soon as it is safe to do so.'” Things Could Be Changing Soon What will be needed to enter the EU — full vaccination or potentially just a negative COVID-19 test or proof of recent recovery from COVID-19? It’s not clear yet. One European Commission spokesperson said that is among the questions they’re still working to figure out. Fox 35 News reports that the New York Times recently published an interview with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, reporting that “fully vaccinated Americans would be able to visit EU countries this summer.” But, more details on exactly what rules will need to be followed to allow for this travel have not yet been shared. The Situation Surrounding Travel is Still Developing Additionally, a European Commission spokesperson has said that the return of American tourists to the EU nations will be conditioned on the situation with COVID-19 in the U.S. and EU. At the moment, Fox 35 Orlando reports that the EU is putting the “finishing touches” on a system that would allow EU residents to travel freely across the region this summer, but they’ll need to show proof of vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test, or recovery from COVID-19. American tourists may be included in this program. We’ll Have to Wait for More Information on the Future of Travel this Summer Right now, travel to the EU is extremely limited. Greece, however, has already lifted quarantine restrictions for US travelers and some others, provided those tourists can show a vaccination certificate or negative COVID-19 test. Keep in mind that Disneyland Paris is still closed at the moment. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates on this situation and let you know what we find.

Disneyland may be reopening this week, but other exciting things are on the way, too! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Disneyland Although Disneyland canceled its Annual Passholder program, Legacy Passholders still get access to special events and discounts. A few days ago, we told you all about an exciting Legacy Passholder-only shopping opportunity. And today, those reservations opened!

That’s a BIG deal for Star Wars fans! Products will include an all-new legacy hilt and products from Star Wars: Bad Batch. ©Disney However, while reservations opened today, they sold out FAST.

We’ve been closely following policy changes as COVID-19 vaccines continue to be distributed. COVID-19 vaccination tents at the Disneyland Resort ©Jeff Gritchen, Orange County Register/SCNG Recently, the CDC has stated that fully vaccinated individuals can gather indoors, and states such as Florida and California have begun to look at relaxing restrictions. And now, another announcement is on the way. According to CNN, President Joe Biden is expected to announce new requirements tomorrow for wearing masks outdoors. Dr. Anthony Fauci has stated that the CDC will be “updating their guidelines of what people who are vaccinated can do and even some who are not vaccinated,” which is believed to have influenced President Biden’s potential shift in policy. Health and Safety Signs in Disney World It is not yet known what the new requirements will be, and if they could affect both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. According to CNBC, separate recommendations could be given to those who are fully vaccinated. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as we learn more. Disney face mask If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you are still required to wear a face covering at all times, regardless of whether you’re vaccinated, both indoors and outdoors. The only exception is if you are taking an outdoor photo while stationary and socially distanced. Of course, we’ll continue to provide you with updates if this changes, too.

Disney has got a lot of in-progress projects, some of which were delayed due to the global health crisis. ©Disney We’re looking forward to visiting TONS of new restaurants like Space 220, La Creperie de Paris, and Roundup Rodeo BBQ. Well, one upcoming Disney Springs restaurant has been on pause for some time — but work may be resuming. Beatrix is a coffeehouse and healthy eating restaurant combo that was announced back in 2019. Construction has been paused since July 2020 and earlier this month, a spokesperson confirmed that the restaurant has been delayed (but not canceled!). Beatrix Construction Now, it seems the gears might be turning to get Beatrix open once more. A few days ago, Disney filed a building permit with Beatrix Orlando for the construction of a “full service restaurant consisting of approx. 18,500 [square feet] indoor and outdoor seating.” ©Disney Wow! That certainly sounds like work could start soon on the whole restaurant facility! The permit was filed with Hoar Construction, a contractor that typically does larger projects in Disney World (They worked on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!). Beatrix Construction A SUPER interesting piece of info is that the permit has an expiration date (the day the work is expected to be complete) of April 15th, 2023. Wow! That’s a long time from now! Could it really be two years until we get to give Beatrix a try? Maybe! Beatrix Whatever the case, we’ll be keeping a close eye out for any official news from Disney and Beatrix.

Tune in for a special moment tonight as the Disneyland Resort prepares for a historic week welcoming back theme park guests after our long closure.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/6nfqk8chqKc View the full article

After over a year of being closed, the PeopleMover FINALLY reopened yesterday. It feels good to be back! Of course, we were in Magic Kingdom keeping an eye on the situation and hopping aboard for our own grand tour of Tomorrowland. And if you’re hoping to go for a ride, there’s a handy little tip you’ll want to keep in mind! Our beloved PeopleMover is officially back on the My Disney Experience app’s wait times list! And that wait is lookin’ pretty hefty at 40 minutes. But all is NOT as it appears… ©Disney A PeopleMover Cast Member informed us that the line was probably 30-40 minutes long. But guys…we’ve ridden this a LOT since it’s reopened. And the wait time is simply not as long as it’s being quoted! For example, we’d estimate that 30-40 minute wait is more like 15-20 minutes. There’s a line! On opening day, our “35 minute” wait was actually just 15. Keep in mind that this is a constantly moving ride (ya know, except when it stops…and it often does), so that line should inch forward consistently. Even with social distancing, you’ll find yourself scooting to the front pretty quickly! So while people seem SUPER excited to ride the PeopleMover again, and there are definitely crowds, you shouldn’t be waiting too long. It has been WAY too long! While we can’t guarantee that the line is shorter than listed, we’re gonna say it’s a pretty safe bet. So you should be on and off the ride pretty quickly! Here’s hoping you’ll be able to feel the breeze and hear that iconic soundtrack again soon. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news! Check Out the PeopleMover’s BIG Reopening!

It’s been a busy year at Disney World! Sadly, Disney won’t let us live here As the parks continue with their phased reopening, preparations have been taking place for the big 50th anniversary celebration! But among all the construction and excitement, we’ve seen some changes to everyday operations. And nope, we’re not just talking about safety procedures or price changes — there have been also some major technological advances. If you’re visiting the parks in the next few months, these tech-y changes could catch you off guard! So we’re here to break ’em all down for ya. MagicMobile Service Disney announced its new MagicMobile service in March, and it began to roll out onto Apple devices just a few weeks later (Android users, don’t worry! Your time is coming.). Essentially, MagicMobile lets your phone become your MagicBand — that is, you can access of all your MagicBand’s features from your smart device. ©Disney So what does this all MEAN?! Well, once you set up a MagicMobile pass on your smart device, you’ll be able to use your phone to tap into the parks, link your PhotoPass photos, and access the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance virtual queue. And later this year, you’ll also be able to use MagicMobile to charge to your Disney hotel, just like you would with a MagicBand! Pretty cool, right? Our Apple Wallet screenshot when our MagicMobile pass was scanned. Voila! What if you don’t want to use the MagicMobile service? Well, you’re not alone! 88% of our readers told us they’d prefer to stick to the good ol’ MagicBand. Luckily, MagicBands aren’t going anywhere. You’ll be able to use them interchangeably with your MagicMobile pass. And if you want to go entirely tech-free, you can opt to use a Key to the World card instead! Don’t worry! These little guys are sticking around. If you DO want to use MagicMobile, we’ve got a complete guide to setting it up, as well as a guide to setting your primary ticket to be your Express Pass. It’s pretty simple, and once you’ve got it ready to go, your entire Disney experience is right at your fingertips! Check Out Our Step-by-Step Guide to MagicMobile! Facial Recognition March was a big month for technology! Disney also announced that it would start testing facial recognition for theme park entry. These tests are taking place in Magic Kingdom and guest participation is entirely optional! Facial Recognition So how does it work? Basically, Disney captures an image of your face, converts it into your own personal number, and associates that number with your park admission. And voila — you’re in! It’s obviously a lot more complicated (in terms of how it works) than that, but we’ve broken all that down for you here. Facial Recognition Test Sign We visited Magic Kingdom on the first day of testing to see exactly what the process is like! You’ll stand on the designated marker, scan your MagicBand/ticket on the tapstile, and then get your face scanned. Then you’re all done! Again, participation is completely optional. Guests who don’t want to go through this process can enter the park like normal through a different turnstile! You’ll have to tap your ticket as part of the testing! Right now, Disney is just collecting data. The testing is set to end on April 23rd, but it could be extended.
