While some safety measures are changing back to the way they used to be, new health reminders are going up at Disney World. Minnie Mouse Even though rides are loading more guests, and hotels are reopening, we spotted two new health and safety screens in Animal Kingdom today, which serve as a reminder to visitors about the health and safety rules in Disney World. As Disney World slowly continues to inch back towards normalcy, we’ve been seeing lots of changes in safety measures lately, including tweaks to face mask policies and the addition of more riders on attractions. Riding Barnstormer Now, there’s been an addition of TWO more digital health and safety screens in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! New health and safety screen in Animal Kingdom Spread throughout the park, with one in Asia and another in front of Pizzafari, the screens are designed to blend into their respective environments… Screen in Asia Both screens sport the same two messages, which rotate. Screen by Pizzafari One is a list of health and safety reminders in the parks, including wearing a face covering, maintaining physical distancing, washing hands often, covering mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. New health and safety screen There’s also a QR code you can scan with your phone for more info. You can scan the code for more info The other half of the message goes into more detail on face covering requirements, and how you should be wearing it. Remember to wear face masks properly! We’ve seen lots of signage regarding health and safety measures all over Disney World, but these two signs are new to us. It contains most of the same information we’ve seen, and we’ll let you know if we spot any other new signage!

This summer, Disney Cruise Line is set to resume sailing with new Disney Magic at Sea staycation cruises, available exclusively for UK residents. Disney Cruise Line With these new staycation offerings guests from the UK can set sail for 2, 3, or 4-night adventures. And, as the name “staycation” suggests, guests will stay onboard the Disney Magic throughout the cruise, rather than stopping at ports of call. Booking for these staycations is set to open April 28th for Golden Oak Club Members, April 29th for Disney Vacation Club Members and Adventures by Disney Insiders, and April 30th for the general public. Early Booking Dates ©Disney Ahead of these booking dates, Disney has released futher information about the health and safety measures that will be in place aboard the ship, as well as guest requirements. Changes onboard the ship will include enhanced cleaning procedures, modified housekeeping, and new air purification systems. Disney Cruise Line Health and Safety Measures There are also several important updates for guests, including the requirement that all guests 18 and older must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, as defined by the National Health Service (NHS). Disney Cruise Line will contact guests prior to sailing with instructions on how to show proof of their vaccination status. Disney Dream Guests under 18 are not required to be vaccinated, but must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test result taken between 5 days and 24 hours prior to the sail date. In addition, all guests, including those who have been vaccinated, are required to undergo an antigen COVID-19 rapid test in the terminal prior to boarding. Anyone testing positive will undergo a second test to verify the results, and those with positive test results, as well as everyone in their travel party, will be denied boarding. Health Information for Disney Cruise Line UK Staycation Sailings In addition, a number of other health and safety measures will be implemented onboard, including required face coverings for all Crew Members and guests age 11 and up, reduced capacity, and physical distancing requirements. We’ll be on the lookout for any additional information about the upcoming UK staycation sailings, so stay tuned for all of the latest updates.

Oh, PeopleMover…how we’ve missed you. Soon! The PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom has been closed for over a year now, and we’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for one of our favorite rides at Disney World to reopen. And the reopening has been delayed over…and over…and over again. We were starting to think the PeopleMover was DOOMED. But we got word earlier this week that it would FINALLY reopen “later this weekend.” Well, here we are in the weekend, and we hardly want to get our hopes up, but then we looked on the Disney World website — and y’all — the PeopleMover officially has hours listed for Monday! ©Disney We’ve recently seen a lot of testing of the PeopleMover recently, AND Stitch even got to take a test ride on it this morning! This tweet mentions that the ride will open this weekend, so it’s likely it could start allowing guests back on before Monday, when it shows official hours. Whatever the case, we’ll let you know when it has reopened! Disney World Is Making Changes to Rides, Hotels, and More — Get All the Details Here!

When it comes to Disney World resorts, there are plenty of options for different styles and budgets! Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort has been at Disney World for a while now, but have you ever stayed here? Not only is it home to the Disney Skyliner hub, but it has a relaxing and beach-y feel throughout. Today, we’re taking you on a room tour of a Pirates Room at Caribbean Beach Resort! We recently did room tours of two value resorts — Disney’s Pop Century Resort and Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. At Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, we stayed in a Pirates Room with a standard view. As far as pricing goes, the Pirate Rooms are slightly more expensive than the standard rooms and are around $332 a night currently. For a small price, you can upgrade from a standard view to a water view. The water view is about $338 a night. So let’s check out the Pirates Room! Pirates Room at Caribbean Beach Resort The Pirates Room at Caribbean Beach Resort comes with two double beds and sleeps up to 4 adults. Pirates Beds The coolest part about the Pirates Room versus the regular-themed room? The pirate ship beds! This is one of the most unique beds in all of Disney World for sure, and it is incredibly detailed. Pirate Ship Bed Not only is there a wheel and mast at the top of the bed, but the bottom really looks like a boat! There are even places for the canons like on the ships in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Pirate Ship Bed In between the two double beds, there is a nightstand in the shape of a barrel. There is room in the bottom half to store any of your belongings with a phone on top. Nightstand The best part of the nightstand is the number of places to plug in your devices! Some hotels lack in outlets, but there are 4 regular outlets and 2 USB outlets on this one nightstand alone. Outlets Along the other wall, there is a little sitting area with a small table and two chairs. Sitting Area Some guests may not realize what the table is, but big fans of Pirates of the Caribbean will recognize that the table is inspired by Jack Sparrow’s iconic compass! This is a great area to eat if you end up having a meal or snack in your room. Table By the door, you’ll find a window with dark curtains to keep out the light while you are sleeping. Window Out of the window, you’ll see the pathway leading up to other rooms and the rest of the resort. The view varies depending on which room you get, but this is the type of view you can expect with a standard view room. A lovely view! Right across from the beds, you’ll see a flat-screen television and a dresser that looks like several crates stacked on top of each other. Dresser and Television The crate doors open to reveal some pretty deep drawers to store your clothes or goodies from the parks! Dresser On top of the dresser, we found the cleaned remote wrapped in a plastic bag. Since Disney World resorts reopened, there have been many enhanced cleaning procedures. Clean Remote Cast Members focus on specific areas including door handles, light switches, electronic devices, bathroom amenities, and other spots that are frequently touched. Enhanced Cleaning Sign To the left of the dresser is a barrel, but when you open it up, you’ll find a mini-fridge! There are three shelves to sit your food and/or drinks on in this mini-fridge. Mini Fridge On top of the same barrel, there is a coffee maker for those early morning park days and an ice bucket. Coffee! Next to the mini-fridge and coffee, there is a large chest that offers more storage! There is also plenty of room on top to store your suitcases or souvenirs. Chest On the wall, you’ll find a framed piece of artwork featuring none other than Jack Sparrow! The art is based on the final scene of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Jack Sparrow Art Separating the bathroom area from the bedroom is a Pirates of the Caribbean curtain! Pirates of the Caribbean Curtain The details in this room seem to never end because even the curtain rods are themed! The ends of the curtain rod are in the shape of a pirate sword! How cool is that?! Sword Detail! Behind the curtain is a vanity with two sinks. If you look closely, you can see the Pieces of Eight from the movies on the edge of the mirror! Bathroom Vanity To the right, you’ll see some extras like hangers, an ironing board and iron, and extra pillows and blankets. Extra Amenities There is also a safe on the wall to keep your most important possessions safe while you are out having fun. Safe At the vanity, there is magnifying mirror to help you get ready in the mornings. Magnifying Mirror To the left, you’ll find the rest of the bathroom separated by a door with a full-length mirror. Bathroom The floor throughout the room looks like wooden planks on a pirate ship. Behind the door, you’ll find a toilet and shower. Bathroom The shower has a small ledge near the back and has the reusable shampoo, conditioner, and soap attached to the wall. Shower And that’s a wrap on the Pirates Room at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! While there are many themed rooms on Disney World property, this is a MUST do for diehard Pirates of the Caribbean fans. Wondering what people think about this resort?

When you visit Disney World, you may hear a LOT of phrases that you don’t understand! What is a refurbishment? You’re about to find out! Disney fans use jargon that is completely unique to the parks, filled with acronyms and fancy words that don’t mean anything to the outsider or the first-time guest. As you become more acquainted with the parks, you’ll start to learn more about “Disney speak,” but today we’re giving you a crash course! E-Ticket is a term that dates back to the opening of Disneyland Park. E-ticket rides and attractions were the ones that were most popular and cost more to experience. Imagineer is the name used for Disney’s engineers and creatives that make the parks come to life. The Walt Disney Imagineering department designs the parks and experiences around the world from the ground up. Rope Drop means arriving at a Disney park before it opens, usually in order to jump on the rides before the crowds arrive and the wait times increase. If you hit the parks for rope drop, you may get to see the sunrise! Cast Members are Disney employees. The Disney parks are supposed to be like a “show,” so it’s only fitting that the employees are given a title to match. Sippers are special souvenir cups that are made to look like Disney characters or other Disney icons. They’re usually sold along with a beverage and new designs often come out for special occasions or holidays. Warning, they’re incredibly difficult to clean! Park Icons are the giant focal points of each Disney park that are often used to identify the park. At Disney World, they are Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, Tower of Terror, and the Tree of Life. Fun fact, Walt Disney used to refer to the park icons as “weenies.” Disney’s Hollywood Studios FastPass is Disney World’s free skip-the-line system. When available, guests can book FastPasses in advance, then return to their selected attractions during the specified time window. You’ll be required to scan your ticket at the entrance, then you’ll be directed through the FastPass line, which usually has a much shorter wait than the standby line. Kiss Goodnight is the name for a short “show” on Cinderella Castle that happens after the park closes. The lighting on the castle changes and guests are thanked for visiting Magic Kingdom. This is unadvertised when it happens and a special treat for lingering guests. Attractions are the shows, rides, and activities in Disney World. It’s a term that Disney can use to encompass nearly everything! Peter Pan’s Flight is an example of an attraction. Refillable Mugs can be purchased at Disney World Resort hotels. These cups can be used at your resort’s soda fountains and refilled throughout your trip. Quick Service restaurants are the places where you can get “fast food.” At these places, you’ll typically order at a kiosk (or through Mobile Order) then pick your food up at a window and seat yourself at a table. This is sometimes interchangeably referred to as Counter Service. Table Service is the word used for Disney’s “sit-down” restaurants. We typically recommend getting reservations for these places, although they sometimes have walk-up availability. You can have a table with a view at California Grill. Dining Plans are a way to prepay for your food at Disney World. You purchase your chosen dining plan category ahead of your trip, and then you’re given “credits” to spend on food during your vacation. Prior to the closures, Disney World typically offered a Free Dining Plan Offer as a booking incentive at least once a year. Snack Credits come with the Disney Dining Plan and are what you use to buy snacks around the parks and resorts. Depending on the price, some items are more worth using your snack credits than others. You can spot the snack credit logo (a little purple and white box) on many menus. Tables in Wonderland is a discount dining program available to Florida Residents, Annual Passholders, and DVC Members. It provides a 20% discount on food and beverages at more than 100 restaurants around Disney World. A truly classic way to spend your snack credit! Mobile Order is how you can pre-order your quick service meals before you head to the restaurant. The whole process is available through the My Disney Experience app. Animatronic is the term used to describe the lifelike robots used in rides, shows, and other attractions. They’re often made to look like specific characters, animals, or people. This term audio-animatronics was coined by Disney back in the 1960s, and it’s one that you’ll hear a lot in the theme park community. Dark Rides are, as the name implies, in the dark. Many use blacklight technology to highlight specific elements of the ride, while hiding others from guests’ view. These rides propel guests through a storyline during the ride experience and don’t have to be entirely in the dark. Expedition Everest is technically a dark ride! Backstage/On-Stage are the terms that Cast Members use to describe specific areas of the parks. “Backstage” is the areas of the parks that guests can’t see or typically visit, while “on-stage” is the section of the park that they do. Costumes are what Disney calls any uniform that a Cast Member wears, not just the outfits worn by Disney characters. Enhancements is the term that Disney uses to describe the extras and add-ons for Walt Disney World packages and tickets. A Cast Member modeling new costumes at Wilderness Lodge — what a look! Resort Hopping is what it’s called when guests visit multiple Disney Resort hotels to check out the shopping, dining, and scenery. Nighttime Spectacular is what Disney calls their evening fireworks shows. Cavalcades are the short mini-parades with Disney characters that have been showing periodically in the parks since reopening. Refurbishment means that a ride, attraction, or experience is closed for a short amount of time for maintenance and touch-ups. Refurbishments occasionally bring big changes to the rides, but most of the time they’re just sorting out minor technical issues or getting a refresh. The Mickey and Friends cavalcade can be found in Magic Kingdom! Those are some of the basic terms that will be helpful to know for your Walt Disney World vacation! You’re basically a total pro now, right??

So sit back, relax, and join us for a virtual trip all around this Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow! EPCOT Construction Updates Pin Traders In terms of construction updates, there are quite a few things going on in EPCOT as part of that park’s MASSIVE transformation. A few weeks ago, we shared that a major store in EPCOT — Pin Traders — would be closing for 3 WEEKS! The store was originally set to close on April 19th, but it was actually open that day! When we returned on April 20th, however, the store was officially closed and construction walls were up. Construction walls are up! We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more details on this store closure and construction, and keep you updated! Click here to see more about Pin Traders closing! EPCOT Merchandise Updates Dapper Day Essentials If you’re searching for the perfect look to use for Dapper Day, EPCOT is the place to go! While you may be familiar with the Dapper Day organization for the events they host in the parks, where guests dress up in some fantastic outfits, they also have their own line of clothing and other items. Right now, through April 26th, you can find their Dapper Day pop-up shop in EPCOT near the Germany pavilion. Ready to Look Dapper? During one of our most recent visits, we saw that more merchandise had arrived at the pop-up shop. According to the Cast Member there, this pin… Dapper Day Pin …keychain… Cute Keychain …and Bird Dress are new! Looking for a New Dress? The dress has some especially fantastic details! Beautiful Pattern So, if you’re looking to grab those or other items — you can visit the shop while it’s available in the park… Lots to Pick From …or you can look at what merchandise items they have available online on their website.

We’re not sure how long it has been available, but the bag was new-to-us. Check Out This Bag You can grab this bag for $30. House of Good Fortune In the China pavilion, we stopped by the House of Good Fortune shop and spotted some very unique items for sale. In Disney World, you expect to buy Minnie ears, shoes, spirit jerseys, and those typical items. But, did you know you might also be able to go furniture shopping?! While we were at the House of Good Fortune, we noticed that some of the furniture in the new Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month display are actually for sale! You can literally buy the desk Want to bring home a new desk? How about a Duan Ink Slab? You can do that! But it’ll cost you!! One of the items — a chair with marble details — was actually priced at $1,800!!!! Anyone Want a New Chair? And there was another item that was even PRICIER! But hey, if you’re looking for something unique to bring to your home or apartment, you can get in that furniture shopping during your next trip to EPCOT. Click here to see some of the items that are for sale from the display (and how much they cost)! Also at the House of Good Fortune, we found a very useful souvenir that you might actually be really thankful for during your Disney World trip or even at home. We’re talking about mask chains! The mannequin has a mask chain! Mask chains can be a great way to hold onto your mask when you take it off — that way you don’t place it down on a dirty surface. So, if you’re looking for one in Disney World, you can head to the House of Good Fortune to grab one. Click here to see the different colors these mask chains come in and how much they cost! Other EPCOT Updates If you’re looking for a unique Magic Shot in Disney World, you can stop by the Italy pavilion to grab one there in front of the flowers! Time for a Magic Shot! We just wanted to point it out to you in case you hadn’t noticed it before! Smile Next to the Flowers We also happened to be in EPCOT during Earth Day, and they were celebrating in special ways by handing out cute bee headbands… It’s Bee-utiful! …and seeds! Let’s Get Planting! Gotta love a good freebie in Disney World, especially one that can help you celebrate the Earth! So Great! And that’s all for us from EPCOT for now!

Another week has gone by for Disney parks around the world and we’ve got LOTS of updates! When Was the Last Time You Visited Magic Kingdom? Disney has updated its rules about what could get a guest kicked OUT of some of its parks. We’ve got an update on when a VERY popular Disney World show will be returning. There have been some changes when it comes to refillable drink stations and much more! So join us now to see the 7 Disney news stories from this week that you NEED to know about! 1. Here’s One Thing That’ll Get You Kicked Out of a Disney Park Earlier this week, Disneyland Resort updated some of its policies as it prepares for the historic reopening of its theme parks. Specifically, Disneyland’s website now notes that Disney reserves the right to require a guest to leave if they’re not properly wearing an approved face mask (a rule we’ve also seen at Disney World). But, the biggest thing we noticed is that Disneyland’s rules also state that they reserve the right to require a guest to leave if they’re using profanity or offensive language towards Disneyland Cast Members or other guests. Always Important to Read the Latest Rules At the moment, Disney World’s policies don’t appear to contain this exact language but they do ask guests to show common courtesy to Cast Members and other guests by not using profanity. Could Disney World update its rules to be more like this Disneyland one? It’s certainly possible. Click here to read more about the profanity policy in Disneyland. 2. Festival of the Lion King Is Coming Back Soon! Earlier this year, we heard that the Festival of the Lion King show would be returning this summer to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But, recently we got a big update! While we still don’t have an exact date, Disney has now shared that the show will be returning in mid-May. Festival of the Lion King Disney has also said that the show will be returning in a modified format and with a new name. Click here to learn more about the return of the Festival of the Lion King! 3. Some Self-Serve Drink Stations Have Changed This week we also got a pretty big update when it comes to self-serve drink stations. When the Disney hotels and parks reopened after the closures in 2020, self-serve drink stations were generally modified so that guests would not be serving themselves. Instead, a Cast Member would typically be standing behind a roped-off area, serving guests their drinks. Centertown Market Drinks Station But, this week things seem to have changed at some spots! Over at a Disney World hotel and some restaurants in the parks, we noticed that the drink stations were back to normal! Cast Members were no longer stationed there, and instead, guests were allowed to fill their own drinks. There were some directional arrows, social distancing markers, and other things in place to help guide guests through the area. No Cast Member here! We saw this over at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park as well when it reopened, but it was interesting to see it transitioning over to the parks and resorts as well. Click here to read more about where we found the refillable drink stations were back to “normal”! 4. Florida Could Look Different By the End of the Summer, But Travel Advisories Have Been Updated for Other Countries This week we got some more updates when it comes to masks and social distancing in Central Florida and when things might look different. Right now, Orange County, Florida (where some of Disney World is located) has a mask mandate in place. Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has said that it will likely be several months before we’ll see a significant reduction in the requirement to wear facial coverings. But, he said he expects sometime in mid-to-late summer, we could see a situation where Orange County is able to really relax the rules regarding facial coverings. Face Mask He has also said that some rules regarding things like social distancing could be reduced sooner. Click here for all the details on what the Mayor has said! But what if you’re in the United States and thinking of traveling somewhere other than Florida — like to another country? Well, earlier this week we shared how the Department of State was planning to issue “do not travel” guidelines for 80% of countries around the world. It appears the Department of State has already made those changes and updated a lot of the travel advisories for many countries. Flying to Orlando Countries that fall under this Level 4 “do not travel” advisory have a “greater likelihood of life-threatening risks.” You can check out the fully updated list of countries and their respective travel advisory levels on the Department of State website. Click here to see more about these travel advisory updates. 5. Can Out-of-State Guests Visit Disneyland? Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are set to reopen in just a few days!! But, when they reopen things will be a bit different. One of the biggest changes is that Disney has previously indicated that ONLY California residents will be able to visit Disneyland when it first reopens (due to the state’s guidelines). Soon, Guests Will Get to Visit Disneyland Park! But, this week, we got some news about an addendum to the California guidelines that could change things. California’s own Department of Public Health has indicated that the addendum to the guidelines DOES specifically allow fully vaccinated out-of-state guests to visit California’s theme parks. Carthay Circle So, does that mean that out-of-state visitors will be able to go to Disneyland when it reopens? Not yet. For the time being, Disneyland is sticking to its existing rules and ONLY California residents will be able to visit during the reopening. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for any updates as to when that may change. Rise of the Resistance boarding group distribution times have also been released for Disneyland and you can see more about that here! Click here to see more about Disneyland confirming that it will not allow out-of-state guests! 6. Disney’s New Tattoo and Dress Code is in Effect Not too long ago, Disney shared that they would be updating their “Disney Look” dress code to allow for appropriate tattoos, non-inclusive hairstyles, and more. Over the past several days, we’ve seen that this new tattoo and hairstyle dress code is now in effect, and we’ve spotted Cast Members displaying their tattoos. Camilo doesn’t have to cover up the ink anymore! We even spotted one Cast Member who may have totally just won the tattoo game with her Tower of Terror-inspired tattoo. Tower of Terror tattoo So, when you’re in the parks next time, you may see Cast Members displaying their tattoos or otherwise falling under Disney’s updated guidelines. Click here to learn more about the updates that have been made to the Disney employee dress code! 7. THE PEOPLEMOVER LIVES AGAIN And for our 7th piece of news from this week, we must share with you the INCREDIBLY exciting news that the much-beloved Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover will be opening later THIS WEEKEND! That’s right everyone, the PeopleMover curse has finally been lifted!!! We Can’t Wait to Ride the PeopleMover! Most recently, the ride was scheduled to reopen on May 1st — so it looks like its return to operations will come a little bit early. We’ll keep an eye out for more details, but suffice it to say we cannot WAIT to see this ride fully operational soon! Click here to learn more about the PeopleMover’s reopening! And that’s our list of the 7 big Disney news stories that were shared this week! Wondering what other news was released this week? Here’s a quick breakdown! A Skyliner crash occurred in Disney World Disney World’s NEW Cirque du Soleil Show could reopen this fall We got some BIG news about a Sony deal that could impact how you view the Spider-Man movies!

Hello from a VERY sunny day in Walt Disney World! Just another beautiful day at Disney! We’re strollin’ around the world today and stopped for a snack, as we do, this time popping over to the Mexico Pavilion. We heard there was a new snack in town, so we had to check it out. Since the sun is out in force, it’s getting a little toasty. And nothing says, “refreshing snack on a hot day,” quite like…corn? Maybe not the snack you expected, but it’s the snack you needed Ok, so maybe this isn’t your first thought for a refreshing snack, but it’s new at Choza de Margarita and we had to try it! The Elote is an ear of sweet corn covered in chipotle aioli, queso cotija, and Tajin chile-lime powder. Zooming in on that flavor! While this totally could’ve been spicier for our taste, this corn was really tasty. The flavors of the toppings combine really well to give a balance of sweet, spicy, and creamy and overall make this a way more filling snack than we expected! It’s also great to grab and take as you continue to make your way around the world — just remember, you have to be stationary and distanced from guests to eat right now in Disney World! Fair warning, this is a heavy snack! This is definitely a pricier snack option, ringing in at $7, but it is very filling for what you get. If you’re after something with a little more kick to it, this might not be your best choice, but it certainly is flavorful. If you want to give the Elote a try yourself, you can grab it at Choza de Margarita in the Mexico Pavillion! Also, warning: it’s heavier than it looks.

We love finding new things in Disney World, especially if it’s something that might complement our outfit! Disney has been churning out some great MagicBands designs lately, which is exciting even though they seem to be moving away from the need for MagicBands with the introduction of MagicMobile. Time to shop! If you prefer to keep your MagicBand features on your wrist instead of your phone, there’s no shortage of cute designs to grab in order to make your way around the parks and resorts. Just keep in mind, MagicBands are no longer complimentary for resort guests, so you’ll need to reuse one, or grab a new one! At Hollywood Studios today, we spotted another new color. While this MagicBand is joining the solid color family and is, therefore, a more simple style, it definitely still stood out when we came across it at The Dark Room. The new one is hanging out in the middle! We had previously seen the lighter pink and darker purple, but the new medium shade of pink is the Raspberry MagicBand! Taking a closer look! While the color looks a little different depending on the lighting, this MagicBand is a bright shade of pink, along the lines of a magenta. We’re loving how vibrant it is! Two of a kind This was the first place we spotted the new color, but we’ll keep looking to see if it pops up anywhere else on property. We found this one in The Dark Room shop at Hollywood Studios! If you’d like to add the Raspberry MagicBand to your collection, you can snag it for $14.99. Check out what else we’ve found this week in Hollywood Studios!
