Did you know that your absolute FAVORITE Disney World resort hotel may be the one that somebody else absolutely loathes? Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa Today we’re looking at the hotels that YOU, our readers and followers, chose as your most hated Disney World hotels! For one reason or another, these eight resorts stood out amongst your fellow Disney fans as the most problematic! Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Cons The first Disney World resort hotel up at bat is Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. One of the common themes you’ll see in this rundown of most “hated” resorts is the sheer size. Disney’s Caribbean Beach is one of several Disney World resort hotels that is simply HUGE and very spread out. This is by far the most popular complaint we received across all of the resorts listed today. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is HUGE and surrounds a large lake. With a large footprint comes several bus stops, making for additional travel time in between the parks and the hotel. There’s an internal shuttle if you want to cut down on the time it takes to walk from your room to many of the hotel amenities, but that internal shuttle is a huge red flag to some guests who would rather have everything within a short walking distance. It can take a while to walk from your room to the main building! Another big drawback to Caribbean Beach is the fact that there are no elevators in any of the buildings. This makes for an added inconvenience if you have heavy suitcases or any mobility issues whatsoever. Be sure to request a room on the ground floor if you’re planning a trip to Caribbean Beach and have issues with stairs! Pros We aren’t going to fill this list up with pure negativity! For every complaint we hear about a resort, there are just as many pluses depending on what your travel party wants or needs! There are several perks to staying at Caribbean Beach, starting with the Skyliner. The Disney Skyliner gives guests staying at Caribbean Beach extremely easy access to both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney Skyliner flying high above Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort If you have little swashbucklers in your party, Caribbean Beach is a super fun choice for your resort stay. Many of the rooms come with a really neat pirates theme, and their main pool, Fuentes del Morro, is among the better pools at the Moderate Resorts. Caribbean Beach Resort Pool There aren’t a ton of dining options at this resort, but if you aren’t planning on spending a ton of time at your resort that would require dining, Caribbean Beach is a solid way to save a few bucks. Click here to learn more about Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort! Disney’s All-Star Resorts Cons Next up is a trio of Disney World Resort hotels — the All-Star Resorts! These sister hotels (All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, and All-Star Sports) belong in the Value Resort category, meaning you’re paying the lowest price among all of the Disney World hotels for fewer amenities. These aren’t going to be the most “luxurious” accommodations you’ll find in Disney World, but aside from that, there are some other key reasons why people say this is on the bottom of the list. All-Star Movies The All-Star Resorts are kind of the tale of two resorts — the smallest rooms with the biggest, larger-than-life statues. The combination of tiny living quarters and the in-your-face, sort of outdated statues can make for an experience that isn’t worth the savings financially. Mighty Ducks Pool The All-Star Resorts are also massive in their own right — combined, the All-Star Resorts have over 5,000 rooms! That’s a lot of people and can make for rather crowded buses. Bus stop at All-Star Movies Speaking of buses, they’re going to be your only Disney transportation options available to you. So if you see those long lines at the bus stations, you may have to call an Uber or Lyft if you want to get to your destination quicker. If you bring a car to Disney World, don’t forget about those overnight parking fees! The All-Star Resorts are also popular with large groups thanks to those lower room rates, so expect to see these hotels be more popular with school trips, cheerleaders, and other traveling groups that may or may not need to wake up and head out to some sort of competition at those early hours of the morning! Pros The clear benefit to staying at the All-Star Resorts is that you’ll be saving a ton of money. If staying on Disney World property is a must-do for your family, then you may really want to consider a Value Resort like the All-Stars. If you aren’t planning on spending as much time at your hotel and you really just need a place to crash at the end of the night, then these resorts may be the way to go. Standard Room at All-Star Movies Not to mention the All-Star Resorts have awesome bakery cases! These may not be stellar options from a dining perspective, but some of our favorite cupcakes and desserts are frequently found at the All-Star Resorts. Nemo Cupcake from Intermission Food Court You’ll end up saving a ton of money while still getting all of those perks that come with being an on-property guest, like complimentary transportation, early access to FastPass+ reservations (when available), the ability to charge to your room, and much more. Click here to take a look at a newly reopened All-Star Movies! Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Cons Like Caribbean Beach, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is another large, sprawling hotel with an internal shuttle loop and multiple bus stops on your way to and from the parks. Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort — another large hotel surrounding a massive lake. Pretty, but makes for long walks. It’s also pretty far from the theme parks, and since you can only get around from Coronado Springs by bus, it may take you a while to get, well, anywhere in Disney World. Coronado Springs Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is also typically more expensive than the other Moderate Resorts (we’ll explain why in just a sec), including Caribbean Beach, which has the added benefit of the Disney Skyliner. Coronado Springs Resort Another common complaint about Coronado Springs is that it doesn’t feel quite like “Disney” — essentially the polar opposite problem than the All-Star Resorts, which at times can feel TOO much like Disney! Coronado Springs’ Gran Destino Tower Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort also has the distinction of being a conference resort. With multiple ballrooms and conference centers, the hotel caters to conference guests and you’ll often see business casual-wearing adults in search of their next Happy Hour. This may not bother your family much, but it can add to that “not-so-Disney” feel. Pros Disney’s Coronado Springs may be pricey for a Moderate Resort, but it offers Disney luxury on a budget, in large part thanks to its new Gran Destino Tower addition, which opened in the summer of 2019. The resort features many more sit-down restaurants than the other moderate resorts, not to mention it comes with two on-site gyms (no other Moderate hotel offers this!) and a Business Center. Gran Destino Tower sure is pretty! The biggest and most obvious pro to staying at Coronado Springs is that for Moderate pricing you get essentially all of the benefits typically reserved for the Deluxe resorts — think Disney’s Contemporary Resort or Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. With gyms, spas, and plenty of restaurants and bars, you may be surprised at how much bang for your buck you can get at Coronado. Click here to read all about the biggest Disney World hotel FAILS! Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Cons So far, we’ve only covered Value and Moderate resorts — now let’s talk about one of the Deluxe resorts that guests can’t seem to fall in love with! Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, like many of the other hotels mentioned so far, is big, spread out, and hard to travel to and from. You have to take the bus everywhere with the exception of Disney Springs (more on that in a second). Saratoga Springs Not only does it feel large and sprawling, but it gives off a Florida apartment complex vibe more than it does a Deluxe resort hotel vibe. If you’re paying near-top-dollar to stay here, it should feel like you’re on a top-dollar vacation and NOT like home! Pros If you’re all about nightlife and want to spend as much time as possible in Disney Springs, then you cannot beat Saratoga Springs. The resort is within walking distance (we’re talking minutes, depending on where your room is located!) from Disney Springs, giving you instant access to all of its shopping and dining. Paddock Pool at Saratoga Springs Saratoga Springs is also a great choice if you want more peace and quiet when you’re at your hotel. The large, sprawling layout lends itself to a more laid-back vibe, and you’ll find that you aren’t as “on top” of other guests as you may be at other Disney resorts. Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa If you’re into golfing, Saratoga Springs is another great choice, as you’ll be close to golf courses without having to shell out Grand Floridian-level prices. Click here to read about what taking the buses has been like since Disney World reopened! Disney’s Pop Century Resort Cons We’re back to another Value resort in Disney World — this time we’re taking a look at Disney’s Pop Century Resort! As far as Value resorts go, Pop Century may suffer feel outdated and may seem to have a rather “cheap” look and theming to it. While bright and colorful, the decor themed to the decades spanning from the 1950s to 1990s can feel boring compared to some of the other, more lavishly decorated Disney World hotels. Disney’s Pop Century Resort Another big drawback and one of the reasons why Pop Century is more disliked by guests is the small rooms. If you have a bigger travel party (especially if you have more than two adults in your room), you’ll certainly feel a bit cramped. Standard room at Disney’s Pop Century Resort In fact, there’s not much to write home about when it comes to Pop Century. Other than the Disney Skyliner (a big perk we’ll talk about below), there’s really nothing that separates it from the All-Star Resorts. Pros Pop Century has a BIG plus by being situated along the Skyliner Route. This way, you feel less “trapped” and can easily travel to not only EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but the other Skyliner Resorts as well, opening up the door for way more dining options than Everything Pop. Skyliner station at Pop Century Resort Speaking of expanded dining options, Pop Century is walking distance from Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. That gives you access to their food court as well! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort — just steps away from Pop Century! The rooms Pop Century, while small, recently went through a decent renovation, so the money you’re saving by staying at this Value resort is stretched even further. Click here to explore Disney’s Pop Century Resort! Disney’s Old Key West Resort Cons The next hotel on our list is another Deluxe resort — Disney’s Old Key West Resort. This is an older property built with timeshare accommodations in mind. In fact, this is Disney’s original Vacation Club property, formerly known as the Disney Vacation Club Resort. Disney’s Old Key West Resort While Saratoga Springs may give off an apartment complex vibe, Disney’s Old Key West gives off a “retirement home” sort of vibe, with less apparent Disney theming throughout the resort. We got another large and sprawling resort on our hands here, with multiple bus stops and an internal shuttle that signals long walks to get from point A to point B. Old Key West Pool Like several of the other resorts on our list, Disney’s Old Key West lacks ample transportation options. Your main option will be the bus system, although you can hop on a boat and take a leisurely trip down the river to Disney Springs. Pros Since this was originally intended to be a timeshare resort, you’ll find that many of the rooms are larger in size for much less money. As Old Key West is an older resort, it’s not as “flashy” and you can usually find a room here at a decent price for a Deluxe resort. Olivia’s Cafe — a seriously underrated resort table service restaurant That “retirement home” vibe we were talking about before can be a major plus for many guests. It doesn’t get much more quiet and laidback than Old Key West, and you may find this resort to provide some respite from the loud, busy, and wild theme parks. Click here to read what your favorite Disney World transportation system says about you! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Cons The last two resorts on our list may surprise you and may cause some controversy in the comments! We have to include Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa because a lot of our readers mentioned it as one of the resorts that they, yes, HATE the most! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa One of the most common complaints about Disney World’s flagship resort is that it’s far too expensive for what you get. Rooms at the Grand Floridian easily cost several hundred dollars per night, and that’s for your standard size, standard view room! You can find Deluxe accommodations across Disney World for less per night with all of the same amenities. Grand Floridian Many of our readers pointed out that the Grand Floridian often comes across as too pretentious and even a bit dated, especially in the rooms themselves (seriously, who else feels those “grandma vibes” from looking at the rooms?). That pretentious feeling the resort may give off to some guests makes it a less-than-ideal choice when you’re traveling with little kids. Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Most of the rooms at the Grand Floridian are not accessible by the main building, meaning that you’ll have to go outside for basically anything you need at the resort. This is not great for such a rainy climate as Central Florida! If you’re paying literally top dollar to stay here, you shouldn’t have to worry about getting your hair wet just to grab breakfast! Pros This is, of course, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, so there has to be SOME sort of pro for staying here, right? Of course, there is! Staying here is truly at the height of Disney World luxury, and you can feel that in nearly every corner of the resort. You simply cannot beat the dining options here, from casual sit-down dining at Grand Floridian Cafe to the ultimate dining experience that is Victoria & Albert’s. White Glove Chocolate Truffle Service You also can’t get much closer to Magic Kingdom than at the Grand Floridian! If your priority is to spend as much time as possible in the Magic Kingdom and you have it within your budget to stay at one of the Monorail resorts, you should strongly consider doing so. Grand Floridian and Monorail For even more options to get around, there’s a newly completed walkway from the Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom, offering a scenic 15 to 20-minute walk in between destinations! Click here to see if you’re still WASTING your money in Disney World! Disney’s Contemporary Resort Cons Last but not least on our list of Disney World hotels people seem to hate is Disney’s Contemporary Resort! This is one of Disney World’s original hotels, opening up in 1971…and many feel that the hotel feels a bit old and dated. The lobby at Disney’s Contemporary Resort The theming and decor aren’t all that magical, and our readers commented that it gives off a rather stale feeling, almost like an airport or an office. At a high price tag, many guests can’t seem to justify spending extra to stay somewhere that totally lacks that extra magical Disney touch you may find elsewhere. Pros Like the Grand Floridian, Disney’s Contemporary Resort has the advantage of being steps away from Magic Kingdom. The Contemporary is by far the closest hotel to the Magic Kingdom’s gates, and for that reason alone many families choose to stay at this resort. Chef Mickey’s There are also excellent dining options at the Contemporary! They have something here for just about everybody, from family-friendly dining at Chef Mickey’s to the ultimate date night experience at California Grill. And if you get the right room, the views are INCREDIBLE! And the monorail goes through the resort, which may be a bit draw for kiddos. On top of this, the rooms are being rennovated. Click here to read about what YOU should eat on your next trip to Disney’s Contemporary Resort! There’s a Disney World resort hotel out there for everybody, but not everyone will agree on which resort that is! While every resort on property has its drawbacks, they each have something unique to offer that may be perfect for your family! We hope this helped shed some light on the important factors you may not be considering when deciding where to stay on your next Disney World vacation!

We’ve been getting realll excited for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride coming to EPCOT. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Concept Art ©Disney The ride was scheduled to open in time for Disney World’s 50th anniversary this October…but things took a turn and it seems like that opening may be delayed. While construction is making progress, there’s lots to be done before this exciting new attraction is ready to debut. And now, we’ve got another sign that we may have to wait a bit longer than planned. James Gunn, director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, took to Twitter to confirm that the show scenes for the attraction haven’t been filmed yet. That’s a pretty big component in this ride’s creation! He clarified that the scenes were “on the agenda” for his 2021 schedule, but it’s all a matter of when — and Gunn hasn’t announced that exact timeline. Obviously, filming these scenes in a necessary step before the ride can open. The fact that it may not happen until later this year could seal the ride’s fate as delayed. Whichever way ya slice it, it’s starting to look extra unlikely that Guardians of the Galaxy will open before October 1st. Guardians of the Galaxy Concept Art ©Disney In the meantime, we’ve been keeping a super close eye on the construction over at EPCOT and bringing you ALL the latest info! Recently, we spotted blue wrapping covering the newly installed wooden paneling on the outside of the building…and we even found a construction permit that could mean an exciting “Show Element” is coming to the attraction. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction We’ll continue to keep you posted as we learn more about Guardians of the Galaxy. We’ve got our fingers crossed we’ll be hopping aboard with Star-Lord, Rocket, and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy soon! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

Ever sit back and dream about what it would be like to live in an apartment right next to Disney World?! Welcome to Disney World! Well, there are several spots close to Disney World where you could live and quite a bit of changes going on in the area, but now a new luxury project is set to be built VERY close to the Most Magical Place on Earth! According to the Orlando Business Journal, Unicorp National Developments Inc., which is one of Orlando’s most active apartment developers, is under contract to buy just over 16 acres of land near Disney World. Unicorp is aiming to buy the land by October of this year and ultimately break ground on the project in January of 2022. Back in March, Unicorp shared that it was looking to buy about 20 acres near Disney’s Flamingo Crossings Town Center, and now it looks like that deal is going through. Below is a photo of the map which appears to show the location of the land being purchased, according to the Orlando Business Journal. ©Orlando Business Journal For reference, here’s a look at the same site shown by the Orlando Business Journal from a slightly different angle — showing just how close the spot is to Magic Kingdom Park and more of Disney World. Disney World’s Flamingo Crossings Town Center is just a bit south of this proposed development. ©GoogleMaps Unicorp is set to build a high-end apartment complex in this land, which is expected to feature more than 200 units. Chuck Whittall, president of Unicorp, told the Orlando Business Journal that the project may cost more than $100 million to build. While much still needs to be determined, the apartment complex may open by mid-2023. In other words, don’t start packing up your stuff just yet! You Could Live Close to Here! The land is currently owned by another business and is said to have a market value of around $1.1 million according to Orange County Records. The location is hugely attractive because of its proximity to Disney World as well as other businesses. So, there’s no need to pack your bags just yet, but if you think you’ll be looking for a luxury apartment near Disney World in 2023 (or around then) then you might want to keep an eye out for more progress on this development!

When the Disney World parks reopened, we saw a LOT of changes and updates, and we expect the same thing for Disneyland Resort’s reopening. We can’t wait to be back! There will be new health and safety measures, capacity limits, a new reservation system, and several rides, attractions, and restaurants that won’t be reopening yet. Things are certainly going to be different, but that’s not always a bad thing. In fact, we’re pretty excited about one new feature that’s coming to the parks in particular! When Disney World reopened last year, the parks and resorts introduced the Mobile Walk-Up Waitlist feature. It’s a great way to score a meal at a table service restaurant if you didn’t get to make dining reservations! And now, Walk-Up Waitlist is going to be available at select Disneyland Resort restaurants as well. Carthay Circle — Alfresco Dining will have the new feature! With the new feature, you’ll be able to check dining availability right in the Disneyland app, or by walking up to the restaurant of your choice and scanning the QR code located near the entrance — no need to visit the host stand. If there’s walk-up availability at that time, you’ll be able to select your party and provide any dietary restrictions. Then, you just wait to be called back! Look for this Walk-Up Waitlist sign! According to Disneyland Resort’s website, this new feature is available at Carthay Circle Lounge — Alfresco Dining and Lamplight Lounge in Disney California Adventure. We’ll make sure to keep you updated if it comes to any other restaurants, including those in the resorts or at Disneyland Park. You might be able to score a last-minute spot at Lamplight Lounge! It’s important to note that walk-up availability changes throughout the day, so keep checking back if you can’t find anything at first. If you don’t have any luck throughout the day, there are several quick service options available around the resort, or you may be able to make a last-minute reservation at another table service spot! If you can’t get a reservation, check out some of the other locations around.

When you’re on your Disney World vacation, which you may have been planning for months, if not years, the last thing you want is for anything to get in the way of you having your perfect trip. Hi There, Disney World We’re constantly working our hardest to get you the very best tips and information to help you plan to have the best trip possible. BUT, there is one thing that happens at Disney that can RUIN your trip, and you definitely don’t want it to take you by surprise. No, we’re not talking about spilling your popcorn all over the floor (although that would be quite sad), or the fact that your kiddo might have an absolute MELTDOWN when a torrential downpour comes and tons of rides shut down (although that too would not be ideal). What we’re talking about are…those dreaded lines. If you’re planning a visit to Disney, especially during a popular time like holidays or school breaks, you’re probably going to be faced with more than a few lines to get to something. You might find yourself in some LOOONG lines just to get inside of a pavilion in EPCOT, when getting on a ride, to get into your resort pool(?!), to visit a new store, or to get on the Skyliner or other Disney World transportation. We’re Not Kidding Y’All, Some of These Lines Are LONG If you go into Disney World and aren’t expecting those long lines and long waits, they can TOTALLY put a damper on your vacation. Now, sometimes we have encountered very low crowd levels in the parks and thus very short lines. But, recently, Park Passes for various parks have been selling out on various days, and we have seen some fairly big crowds. We expect the crowd levels will likely continue to be high as we enter the summer season when many kids are off from school and families take advantage of that time to visit the parks. So, if you’re planning a trip to Disney World in the near future, particularly during a time that is expected to be busy, what can you do about those LOOONG lines? Here are our tips. The Rides If you have a must-do ride, you may want to try to get into the park and in line as EARLY as possible (you may even be able to rope drop now and get into the park before it officially opens for the day). Another thing you may want to do is keep an eye on that wait time in the My Disney Experience app throughout the day to see if wait times drop (especially after 2PM once people have started Park Hopping). This Jungle Cruise Wait is No Joke! Especially if you’re heading to Disney World in the near future while social distancing is still in effect, the lines may seem even crazier than they really are in terms of actual wait time, since guests must be distanced so the lines will stretch out really far. You might find yourself waiting somewhere super random, like say, standing in line in the China pavilion for a ride that’s in the Norway pavilion. WYA Elsa?? Frozen Ever After isn’t the only thing in EPCOT we’ve seen crazy lines for though. We’ve seen the wait time get up to 2.5 hours just to get into the pyramid in Mexico! Would YOU wait 2.5 hours for a Marg? If you had no idea to expect this type of queue it could totally mess up with your perfect EPCOT day, but here’s our best advice: know that lines can get crazy, prioritize your top choices, and make sure you knock those out as soon as you can before crowds get too crazy or keep an eye out for drops in wait times. If you’re totally over Disney lines, you might be able to skip them! Click here to see how! Navigating the Lines Navigating the parks with these long lines can be difficult right now. What is this line for? What are people waiting over here for? Where should I be looking for the end of the line for this ride? That’s why we’ve developed a series of maps to help you! Norway and China Pavilions These maps show you the general entrances and exits to various stores and more around Disney (as some of these have changed due to social distancing) and the typical spots where you’ll find those extended ride queues. Click here to see our EPCOT map Click here to see our Magic Kingdom map Click here to see our Disney’s Animal Kingdom map Click here to see our Disney’s Hollywood Studios map Mobile Order Lines to pick up Mobile Orders can also be quite long, and sometimes if you wait until peak eating times, you’ll have to wait quite a while to pick up that order. To avoid some of the lines and waiting, try to place your Mobile Order way in advance. You can place a Mobile Order early and schedule it for a later pick-up time. Placing the order early should give you a wide choice of pick-up times to choose from, so later on you won’t have to worry about ordering your food at 12:00PM (when your stomach is already grumbling) and realizing you won’t be able to pick it up until 1:30PM. Mobile Order Pick Up You may also want to consider eating at “off times” when things aren’t as busy — in other words, not right at 12:00PM. Having a late breakfast and then a late lunch, or something like that, might help you get a shorter Mobile Order line and avoid some crowds. Click here to see the mobile order mistake you do NOT want to make. C is for Cookie…L is for Literally the Longest Line Besides getting into your favorite rides or restaurants, you may encounter some other more unexpected queues, like a LONG queue for the newest cookies in Disney Springs. Gideon’s Bakehouse The Gideon’s Bakehouse line is notoriously long, and while they do have a virtual queue, it could still be hours before you get called to return to the store. So, we wouldn’t necessarily suggest trying to stop by Gideon’s if you’re on a time crunch. It’s Finally Cookie Time If Gideon’s is a must-do for you, be prepared to do some other things around Disney Springs while you wait! This way you won’t be disappointed by a potentially long wait, or have to skip out on those delicious creations. Click here to see a step-by-step guide to getting Gideon’s Cookies in Disney Springs! We Found a Line WHERE? Lately, it’s become pretty normal to see lines in strange places around Disney World, but recently we found one that was VERY unexpected. If you’re hoping to take a dip in your resort pool on your next Disney Vacation, brace yourself!! Look at that LINE! At some hotels, resort guests sometimes have to wait in HUGE lines just to get into the pools! Though pools across property are open for guests, there are still capacity limits like many other features at Disney World. Some dedicated pool fans! We’ve also seen some pools utilizing virtual waitlists, like what we’ve seen at some stores around Disney World. If your pool has a virtual line, the Cast Members will let you know how to get added, and you’ll generally receive a text when it’s time to return. POOL TIME!! If you have a full resort day planned with other activities in mind while you wait for your turn at the pool, this might not be such a big deal. However, if your family is used to coming back to the resort to hand out for a few hours and take a swim before heading back to the parks, long pool lines could put a wrench in your plans. Bottom line: like with a lot of lines in Disney, if you want to beat ’em, you may want to join ’em early. Click here to see more details about a HUGE pool line we found at Disney World! Morning Traffic And of course, we couldn’t talk about lines without touching on what might be the most annoying kind of line: lines for transportation. So many people spend a lot of time and energy planning their perfect day in each Disney park, maybe even down to the minute. But it can be VERY frustrating if that schedule is set off by a long wait for transportation to get to the parks. The Skyliner Due to limited capacity and social distancing requirements on the different forms of Disney transportation, the lines to get on these forms of transportation can back up quite a bit. That’s particularly true for Disney World’s newest form of transportation — the Skyliner. LONG lines! Lately, the Skyliner lines have been VERY long at times. Sure, the ride itself only lasts a few minutes, but it could take you quite a while to even get on in the first place! Everyone Wants to Ride the Skyliner Today! One of the best tips for avoiding Skyliner traffic (or really, any crowds on Disney transportation) is to get there early — are you noticing a theme here? Hello, France! The Skyliner generally starts running about one hour prior to the earliest park opening. So if Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the earliest park opening and is opening that day at 9AM, you probably won’t want to show up to the Skyliner line by 8:30AM because the line could already be bogged down. Time for a Quick Trip in the Sky In reality, this is not new. Disney transportation can get crowded right around park opening and at park close since that’s when the most people are using it. If that’s not your jam, you can always arrange for other options, like walking if you’re close enough, looking at ride-share, or seeing what other options are available. Click here to see more of our advice about dealing with those Skyliner lines! So, the main takeaway here is that the possibility of hitting some long lines in Disney World is an important thing to keep in mind as you plan your trip. Don’t let these long lines take you by surprise and ruin something you and your family have been really looking forward to! It’s ~Golden Hour~ Try to get to the parks early if you can, try to get to those Skyliner lines early too, keep an eye on those wait times, and check out all of our tips for avoiding those lines. And, try to come prepared for those long lines — download some games, maybe even the Play Disney Parks app, or think of other games to keep the family entertained. While it’s highly likely you’ll have to wait in lines for some things in Disney World, with a few tips and tricks you can hopefully avoid some of them or at least be better prepared!

There’s no denying that a Disney World vacation can be an expensive one! Expensive, But Beautiful That’s why we’re always looking for ways to help YOU make the most of your money during your vacations! It’s important to know what the best values are, and just what your money can get you. So, today we’re sharing the best ways to spend $20 in each Disney World park! What are we spending our money on? Well, FOOD of course!! You’ll find some really great snacks throughout Disney World, but some of them can be pretty pricey! When it comes to food, here are some of the BEST ways to spend $20! Magic Kingdom Gaston’s Tavern Over in Fantasyland, you’ll find Gaston’s Tavern! Now, we’re sure Gaston would boast this is one of the best places to eat in all of Magic Kingdom, nay, Disney World . And, we wouldn’t totally disagree with him! There are some really awesome options on the menu that we’ve been recommending for years. $20 can get you a whole bunch of them! No One Runs a Tavern Like Gaston! Two of the staples from Gaston’s Tavern are the GIANT Cinnamon Roll ($5.99) and the yummy LeFou’s Brew ($5.79). The Cinnamon Roll is filled with sugary, cinnamon-y (that’s a word, right?) deliciousness. And don’t forget to ask for an extra cup of icing! Just Look at That Icing!! LeFou’s Brew is a frozen drink that incorporates the flavors of apple, marshmallow, and passion fruit/mango. Some people love this drink, others hate it, and some are just neutral. It’s basically a frozen apple juice slushy. We think it’s pretty tasty! But, it is the “signature” drink at this spot and is a fun addition to Fantasyland. If you’ve never tried it, you might want to give it a shot! Drink Up! Last fall, Gaston’s introduced another exciting treat — the Grey Stuff Cupcake (aka The Master’s Cupcake) ($5.49). This cupcake is JUST like the one previously served at Be Our Guest Restaurant. It’s got “The Grey Stuff” which is a cookies-and-cream mousse, on top of a chocolate cake base. The Grey Stuff is light and creamy, the chocolate sponge is rich and moist — it’s absolutely DELICIOUS (although a bit small). Try the Grey Stuff, It’s Delicious! Want to try them all? You could snag all 3 of these great items from Gaston’s Tavern all for just under $20! Money well spent! Sleepy Hollow Sleepy Hollow is a SOLID pick for some tasty park snacks. But it’s perhaps best known in recent years for its awesome waffle sandwiches! You can find both sweet and savory options here, including the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich ($10.49) and the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich ($8.29). The Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich is a fan-favorite and it’s a BIG portion. A yummy fresh-made waffle, a WHOLE LOT of Nutella, and fresh fruits — what’s not to love?! Just Look At All of that Goodness If you’re looking for something extra sweet, you can grab a scoop of ice cream from Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland, combine it with the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich, and make the ULTIMATE waffle ice cream sandwich. This is a DFB hack that makes us especially proud!! OHHHH YESSS!!!! On its own, the waffle sandwich will set you back $8.29. The addition of ice cream costs $5.49. So, for well under $20 you could have a ridiculously delicious sweet treat! Click here to read more about this hack! Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe Looking for more savory options with pretty good portion sizes? Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe has quite a few options. Some of the best values on the menu are the Fajita Platter and Rice Bowls, which you can get for less than $15 each. Veggie Bowl This is a solid quick-service spot that won’t make you feel like you’re shelling out a whole bunch of money for a tiny meal. While the fantastic toppings bar is gone at the moment, be sure to customize your order and ask for the toppings you’d like! Friar’s Nook Friar’s Nook is known for its tater tot creations! They’re very hearty and filling, making them a pretty good value for what they cost. You can get the Creamy Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Tots for $10.99. It’s a gooey, cheesy, carb-filled delight. Have You Ever Tried These? And, we’ve got another good money-saving tip for Friar’s Nook. You can order a side of tots, along with a side of cheese sauce (or plastic cheese, as we like to call it), for $5.29, which is cheaper than the option on the kids’ menu that essentially gives you the exact same snack. Read more about our money-saving cheese tip here! The Plaza Restaurant The Plaza is a table-service restaurant you’ll find at the end of Main Street, U.S.A. The Plaza Loaded Fries from here are *spectacular* and they give you a pretty decent portion too. This dish consists of french fries topped with melted cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato. (Be sure to ask for a side of ranch dressing!) YYYYUUUUUUUMMMM. They’ll cost ya $9. Time to Dig In! And if there’s room for dessert (you’ve GOT to leave room for dessert!!), you can also add on an Original Banana Split for $10. That gives you a savory snack and a dessert for just around $20! Main Street Confectionery The Main Street Confectionery is one of the first things you encounter as you make your way down Main Street, U.S.A. The sweet smells waft onto Main Street (in ways you don’t even realize!!), drawing you in to check out what sugary offerings they’re baking up that day. What Would You Pick? For $20, you can try a whole selection of iconic Disney treats, like surprising new cupcake flavors, Mickey-shaped marshmallow wands, themed cupcakes, and more. Some of the items there can be a bit too sweet (in our opinion) or pretty basic (but cute for Instagram). Overall, the best tip we can give you is just to know yourself, the flavors you’re looking for, and choose wisely to make sure you’re spending that $20 on treats you’ll really enjoy! The Confectionery is currently closed for refurbishment — click here to check out more details! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Creature Comforts Move over Gaston, another massive cinnamon roll is making it onto this list! At Creature Comforts, you can find the Colossal Mickey Cinnamon Roll. And believe us when we say it’s called “colossal” for a reason! This treat is totally sharable, which makes it a good value. Plus, it has MICKEY EARS, so duh — it’s awesome. You Should Totally Share It Or Try to Devour It On Your Own! For $7.49, you’ve got breakfast or a midday snack for two! Not to mention, it’s super delicious with all that soft and buttery goodness. You can also find it at Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery when that spot is open. Pongu Pongu Located in Pandora — The World of Avatar, Pongu Pongu serves up some of Animal Kingdom’s most noteworthy snacks. You can order the Colossal Pretzel, which similar to the aforementioned Colossal Cinnamon Roll, is very shareable. It’s soft, chewy, perfectly salted, and — the best part — it comes with a BEER CHEESE SAUCE!!! You can snag this treat for $10.49. OoooOoo Look at the Salt and the Beer Cheese Sauce!! You’ll also find the Pongu Lumpia at this spot, which is basically a spring roll filled with pineapple and cream cheese! This tends to be a love-it-or-leave-it type of dessert, but if you love pineapple and cream cheese it might be something you’ll really enjoy. This treat costs just $3.29! What Do You Think of This Treat? If you’re looking for a drink that’s beautiful and delicious, then there’s one other thing at Pongu Pongu that you’ve gotta try. The Night Blossom is a frozen drink that is just as tasty as it is pretty! The drink is made of a mix of Limeade with apple and desert pear flavors, all topped off with passion fruit popping boba balls. This, in many ways, is the signature drink of Pandora. It’s priced at $5.99. So Pretty! You can get all three of these snacks for JUST under $20! They’re a great option if you aren’t hungry enough for a full meal and are just looking to share some yummy snacks with friends. Eight Spoon Cafe Eight Spoon Cafe has a whole selection of Baked Macaroni & Cheese creations, but the one we really want to highlight here is the Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese! This dish is cheesy, carb-y, comfort food that is pretty filling. Rich meaty baked pasta may not be your best option during an especially hot day in Animal Kingdom though, so just keep that in mind! Cheesy Goodness You can grab this for $6.79. While Eight Spoon Cafe remains temporarily closed, you can find a similar (albeit larger and slightly more expensive) option at Flame Tree Barbecue. Their version of the Baked Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork is priced at $11.99 and is topped with an onion ring and coleslaw!! Dino-Bite Snacks When you’re looking for something sweet, it can be hard to convince yourself that $6 is worth it for something like a basic cupcake. No need to worry — over at Dino-Bite Snacks, you’ll find a unique dessert that’s just under $7, delicious, and pretty large! We’re talking Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Sandwiches, my friends. The really fun part here though is they tend to have a specialty flavor! Our favorite is the Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwich! Yes, we know it looks like it’s covered in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, but we promise it’s not. Would You Try the Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwich? This was available around Valentine’s Day. We’ve also had mint chocolate chip sammies and more. The classic flavor though, if a fun option isn’t going on, is chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream. Truly, we give this ice cream sandwich a 10/10 — it’s one of our favorite Disney World treats! $6.99 might seem like a lot for an ice cream sandwich, but this one’s very tasty and big enough to share (we’ve shared it with 3 adults that just wanted a small snack and still been plenty satisfied!). Mr. Kamal’s Over in Asia, Mr. Kamal’s serves up small bites like Hummus with Pita and Chicken Dumplings. But, on the menu, you’ll also find Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries. We LOVE these fries! What makes them especially unique is all the different dipping sauces you can try with them! Ready to Dig In?! The last time we visited, however, the fries were only being served with Curried Honey Mustard and Korean Chili Ketchup. So, your options have gotten a little bit more limited here, but still miles above standard ketchup. While we missed the variety of sauce options we were used to, these were still delicious as always! You can snag these for $5.99. Satu’li Canteen And finally, we end our snack tour in Animal Kingdom back in Pandora for another menu item that’s worth your $$$! The Cheeseburger Steamed Pods from Satu’li Canteen are a big favorite of ours (and many other people). And yes, they include all the flavors you’d typically find in a cheeseburger, right down to the pickles. YUMMY Cheeseburger Pods The pods themselves are pretty filling. Plus, they come with vegetable slaw and vegetable chips for the adults; and chips, an orange, and a drink for kids. This is a huge “YESSSS” in our books!! You can get 2 pods on the regular menu for $11.49, or one pod on the kids’ menu for $7.99. Wanna make em at home? We got a recipe for that too! How to Celebrate Earth Day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box has a LOT of memorable items on the menu. But, one thing it’s especially known for is its Totchos — AKA tater tot nachos. And YES, there are as legit as they sound! These tater tots are covered in beef and bean chili, shredded cheese, signature Queso, corn chips, and sour cream. And, there’s even a plant-based option! Just Look at Those Totchos! These are a deliciously large portion, the tots and chips have a great crunch, and the mix of flavors with all of the toppings and ingredients is phenomenal! Click here to see how to make totchos at home! Another menu staple at Woody’s Lunch Box are those Lunch Box Tarts! These are basically glorified Pop-Tarts, but in the best way possible. Right now, some of the flavor options available include Chocolate-Hazelnut, Lemon-Blueberry, and Raspberry! It’s a Lemon Blueberry Tart! These treats are adorable, a great size, and they have a nice balance of sweet and tart! The Totchos will set you back $8.99, and each Lunch Box Tart costs $4.29. So, for under $20 you could get both of these treats and maybe even sneak in an extra Box Tart so you can try more flavors! The Hollywood Brown Derby Right now, the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is only serving up cocktails and other drinks. But normally, you’d also be able to find small plates on the menu. In the past, one of those small plates was in fact a petit version of the famous Hollywood Brown Derby Cobb Salad. Believe Us When We Say It is SOOOO Good We’ve talked about this salad countless times and it really is that good. With classic ingredients like Spit-Roasted Turkey, Finely Chopped Greens, Bacon, Egg, Tomatoes, Avocado, Chives, Crumbled Blue Cheese, and Cobb Dressing, this salad is a home-run. It’s fresh, delicious, and full of a variety of flavors. Right now, you can’t get the petit version at Brown Derby Lounge, but you can get a full-sized portion over at The Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant for $18. And it is WELL worth the cash. Oga’s Cantina Oga’s Cantina is one of the spots in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge that many consider to be an essential pitstop. This bar is incredibly immersive and churns out unique drinks inspired by the films. Now, like most Disney World cocktails, these drinks aren’t necessarily cheap. But, we do think visiting this spot at least once is a must-do, especially for major Star Wars fans. Which Drink Would You Pick? Where else can you find a drink that makes your mouth numb (SERIOUSLY, IT DOES!), or a tiki glass in the shape of a Porg? Most of these drinks will cost you somewhere between $15-$20, but you’re also getting a really unique experience as well. Click here to see our full review of Oga’s Cantina in Disneyland (You’ll find this spot in both Disneyland and Disney World). Ronto Roasters Also in Galaxy’s Edge is Ronto Roasters, which serves up a few items including the iconic Ronto Wrap! What is a Ronto Wrap you ask? Well, it’s a pita wrap filled with roasted pork, grilled pork sausage, peppercorn sauce, and a tangy slaw. The sausage here is SUPER flavorful and delicious, and the coleslaw and peppercorn sauce compliment the wrap really well. These wraps are filling, yummy, and truly one of the signature snacks in this land. They are SO SO good. And, they just added some new vegetarian options to the menu too! This Wrap Might Change Your Life, No Joke!! If you haven’t tried this wrap already, you should consider making a pitstop here during your next trip! One wrap will cost you about $13. BaseLine Tap House BaseLine Tap House has a great, relaxed feel among the hustle and bustle of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you’re looking for some delicious snacking, the California Cheese and Charcuterie Plate here is a FANTASTIC choice. For $10, you get a selection of cheese, meat, bread, and extras like pickles, mustard, and grapes. Right now, the menu online describes it as including Toma Farmstead Cheese, Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese, Laura Chenel’s Sonoma Goat Cheese, Chorizo and Calabrese Salami, Cornichons, Grapes and Toasted Baguettes. YUM. Time to Eat! For us, it’s those cheeses that really MAKE this plate. From bold and potent, to more creamy and salty, there are some fantastic cheesy options here. Pair it with one of their many beers on tap and you’ve got yourself a satisfying (and filling) way to spend $20! ABC Commissary Last year, ABC Commissary got a BIG menu revamp and had a MAJOR comeback. We were so pleasantly surprised to find quite a few unique and delicious options there. One of the best things you can find on the menu at ABC Commissary right now is the Shrimp Tacos. These tacos come topped with cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo, and mango salsa, and are served with Mexican Rice and black beans. Look at Those Shrimp Tacos! The tacos are full of big, juicy shrimp and there’s an extra kick from the chipotle mayo (pro tip: order an extra cup of the spicy mayo, you can thank us later). This dish tasted great and filled us right up! You can grab it for $12.99. Trolley Car Cafe At Trolley Car Cafe, the Starbucks location in Hollywood Studios, you can find a DFB favorite — the beloved Carrot Cake Cookie. This iconic treat features two carrot cake “cookies” sandwiched together with a layer of cream cheese frosting in between. For $3.99, this is a treat you CAN’T miss. This is a cream cheese frosting lover’s DREAM. We’ll Take 12 Please And that’s not the only iconic treat you can find at Trolley Car Cafe. There’s also the Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake, which is pretty much the same as one of our all-time favorites — the Butterfinger Cupcake. This treat is made of a Chocolate Cupcake topped with Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting, covered with a Peanut Butter Candy Shell. Cute and Delicious: We Love It! And in true Disney fashion, it’s topped with two chocolate Mickey ears. We previously spotted it at Rosie’s All-American Cafe, but it’s a resident of Trolley Car Cafe for now. If you love peanut butter, get this NOW! You can grab it for $4.99. So, altogether, you’ll pay just under $10 for both of these delicious treats and get the ultimate sugar rush (but it’ll be totally worth it)! Backlot Express Another DFB favorite is the Wookiee Cookie! Similar to the Carrot Cake Cookie, this is another cookie sandwich. It’s got two Oatmeal Cookies filled with Vanilla Cream Filling in between, and a Milk Chocolate bandolier on top in true Chewbacca fashion! Wookie Cookie at Hollywood Studios The filling is similar to a whoopie pie center (but airier) and it pairs PERFECTLY with the oatmeal cookies, which are nice and chewy. This is another one that you should definitely add to your Disney snack bucket list! It costs $5.99. Tune-In Lounge Although Tune-In Lounge is still temporarily closed, one of our favorites on the 50’s Prime Time menu that you could also get at the lounge in the past was the rich and flavorful Fried Herb and Garlic Cheese. It’s served alongside toasted bread, fruit, and raspberry sauce, and it is SO delicious. Fried cheese? Yeah, count us in! Sensing a Cheesy Trend? Then, naturally, you’ve gotta balance something savory with something sweet. That’s where the Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake comes into play. Besides the witty Cast Member banter, this milkshake is one of the most talked-about things from 50’s Prime Time and its lounge. Oooh Yeah! It’s the Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake Right now, you can still find this iconic shake on the menu at 50’s Prime Time Cafe. The fried cheese is off the menu for now, but we’re fingers crossed it makes a reappearance soon! Don’t miss your chance to give these a try! Or, you can try to make the PB&J shake at home! Click here to see how! Hollywood Scoops Now, this last one in Hollywood Studios is more of an honorable mention because we don’t know how long it will be around. Recently, we encountered a Mickey Waffle Platter from Hollywood Scoops! You might be thinking, “what makes these Mickey waffles so special?” WELL, these are no ordinary Mickey waffles. NO, these are BLUEBERRY Mickey Waffles!!! And these delicious treats are served with Whipped Cream, Syrup, and Strawberry Compote. We seriously loved the addition of the blueberries to this classic Disney snack. Blueberry Waffles! As it stands, these waffles aren’t available every day though. Hollywood Scoops serves breakfast until 11 AM, and the waffles will only be available on particularly busy days. So, keep an eye out for ’em during your next trip to Hollywood Studios! The platter costs $9.50 and comes with three waffles. Read our review of the new waffles here! EPCOT Karamell-Küche Ever found yourself walking past the Germany Pavilion in EPCOT and smell the sweet and enticing scent of caramel that somehow makes you feel hungry even if you literally just finished eating a giant meal? You have Karamell-Küche to thank for that! This shop specializes in caramel treats of all kinds. If it is delicious and can be dipped in caramel, you might just find it here! So Many Choices! Here, $20 can get you a nice assortment of treats! And that’s probably pretty helpful because you’re likely going to have trouble deciding what to choose. Some of our favorite items that have been available in the past include caramel cupcakes, caramel cookies, and (of course) the caramel corn they’re so famous for! The treats can sometimes change though, so just be sure to see what’s available when you visit. Sommerfest Sommerfest reopened soon after the parks did last summer, but it has a much more limited menu. Right now, the beloved Nudel Gratin is not currently on the menu. But if/when it returns, savory snackers will definitely want to give it a try! Oooooooo The Cheeeeeeeese! It may sound like a simple treat, as it is essentially an ultra-cheesy baked slab of macaroni and cheese. BUT, we think it’s truly a thing of beauty. We’re talking a serious contender for the BEST mac & cheese in all of Disney World here. It used to be priced at $3.49, and we seriously hope it will make a reappearance VERY soon! La Cava del Tequila La Cava del Tequila is one of our favorite hidden gems in all of Disney World. Tucked inside of the Mexico Pavilion, this spot serves up some seriously yummy margaritas. But, you can also typically get light snacks here like chips and guacamole, or chips and Queso (though the queso is currently unavailable!). You can even get margaritas with some truly unique flavors here, like avocado! This Isn’t Your Average Margarita Just be sure to see what light snacks and margaritas are available when you visit, as the availability of specific items are subject to change. But, if you’re looking for a delicious way to spend $20, grab some chips and queso from here (if available) and a unique margarita of your choice. DELISH! L’Artisan des Glaces Over in the France Pavilion, you can indulge in two fabulous desserts for just under $20! First, you can grab the Ice Cream Martini, which comes with 2 scoops of ice cream or sorbet in a martini glass, along with a shot of Grand Marnier, Whipped Cream Vodka, or Rum. It’s sweet, boozy, totally Instagrammable, customizable (which is fun), and overall a total delight! You could seriously create some unique and SUUUPER tasty creations with this treat. These are generally priced around $11.97. It’s a Pina Colada Ice Cream Martini!! And, you won’t want to miss out on the Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich, which is also available at this spot. The treat is made with a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two macarons for $4.69! These flavors can change seasonally so be sure to check on what’s available when you visit. Raspberry Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich In the past, we’ve seen Raspberry Macaron Ice Cream Sandwiches, a Christmas Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich, and more offered here! After all those sweet snacks, you might need to move on to something more savory, and our next item might be JUST the thing! Les Halles Boulangerie and Patisserie Our quest for something savory brings us to Les Halles, also in the France Pavilion! It is not on the menu at the moment, but the Creme de Brie is worth ALL. THE. DOLLARS. This dish is made of a bread bowl filled with warm and creamy brie cheese! Life-changing. Iconic. Incredible. Seriously, this might be one of the most delicious snacks you’ve ever seen. Come Back To Us Creme de Brie!! All of your cheese and carb dreams will come true with this special treat. It previously cost $6.75, which is a pretty good price for a BOWL of cheese (and that “bowl?” Fresh baked bread!). We seriously hope this makes a comeback, and SOON! Refreshment Port Another cheesy delight in EPCOT is Poutine from Refreshment Port! You can find Traditional Poutine at this spot, which includes beef gravy and cheese curds atop a bed of french fries. But, you’ll also want to keep an eye out for more limited offerings that tend to pop up during some EPCOT festivals. Right now for the Flower and Garden Festival, they’re serving up a plant-based Italian Sausage and Peppers Poutine. (Spoiler alert: we were actually surprised at how much we liked that one!) Traditional or Unique Poutine? Whichever option you go for, you’ll get a heaping serving of fries and toppings generally for less than $10! Le Cellier Steakhouse Now, this is certainly not the first time we’ve told you to go to Le Cellier in the Canada Pavilion. And it also isn’t the first time we’ve told you to try the Cheddar Cheese Soup. Sorry to sound like a broken record, but if you’re looking for some of the best ways to spend $20 in EPCOT — the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup should be on your list!! It’s rich and cheesy, with a faint smokey bacon taste. It’s an item we HIGHLY recommend you grab whenever you can! The soup is priced at $13. So Much Deliciousness You’re served three kinds of fresh bread here too (including pretzel rolls!) perfect for dunking up all that creamy soup. Pair it with a glass of La Fin du Monde or white wine, and you’ve just made an excellent pairing for just over $20. Want to make the soup at home? Click here to see a recipe! Yorkshire County Fish Shop In the U.K. Pavilion, Yorkshire County Fish Shop is the home of some seriously delicious Fish & Chips. You can get a big serving of the classic British dish for $11.49! The batter on the fish is nice and crunchy, the fish is deliciously light, mild, and flaky, and those thick-cut fries bring that salty, crunchy but also fluffy goodness. Basically, it’s FANTASTIC! Fish and Chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop Grab a pint to wash it all down, and you’ve got yourself a staple British combo for just under $20! EPCOT Festivals And finally, we couldn’t make this list without mentioning the EPCOT Festivals! If you happen to be visiting EPCOT during a festival (which is VERY likely now considering how long the festivals are running!!), grabbing a combination of any of our Best of the Fest items from any of the festivals is a GREAT way to spend $20! 2021 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival Here are some links to our most recent Best of the Fest lists: Best of the Fest for the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Best of the Fest for the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival Best of the Fest for the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Best of the Fest for the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays We’ll highlight a few items for you here though (as if you weren’t already drooling enough)!! Sunshine Griddle at the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival had some of our favorite eats from the whole festival! It’s basically a BRUNCH BOOTH! The Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites with CANDIED BACON were swoon-worthy (and only $4.29). And the Shrimp and Grits ($7.25) were some of the best we’ve ever had! For less than $15, you can get both of these dishes! Shrimp and Grits At the 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, Pop Eats served up an awesome Tomato Soup with a French Onions and Bacon Grilled Cheese. For $5.25, you got a little can of soup and half a grilled cheese sandwich! The soup had a wonderful kick of flavor, the sandwich was an elevated grilled cheese, and the combo was PERFECT for dipping. Soup and grilled cheese! Another winner from Festival of the Arts was the Mediterranean Flatbread from Mosaic Canteen. Topped with Za’atar Pesto, artichokes, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and fennel cream, this was a big portion for just $5.75 and was JAM-PACKED with flavor! Mediterranean Flatbread And from the 2020 Festival of the Holidays (and years before), we loved the Cheese Fondue in a Bread Bowl from Bavaria Holiday Kitchen. Yes, we know, another bread bowl of cheese. SHOCKER. For $8.25, you can get a whole bread bowl of melted cheese along with steamed vegetables and potatoes. YUM! Cheese Fondue Hopefully, these items make their way back to future EPCOT festivals! Click here to check out our Best of the Fest list from the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!

Disneyland has plenty of great eats across its restaurants and snack stands. Welcome back to Disneyland! Prior to the parks’ reopening, Disney shared a full list of restaurants that would be returning. Among those restaurants was Plaza Inn! But, it seems that its menu has had some serious losses. Yes, Plaza Inn might be known for its fried chicken, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t other tasty meals on the menu! This Main Street, U.S.A. spot has previously offered lots of food, like pot roast, pasta, and an all-you-can-eat breakfast. Now, the restaurant will only be open to guests for lunch and dinner. And if you plan on dining there, well, we hope you like chicken… Plaza Inn Chicken: Just Gaze Lovingly for a Moment Currently, there’s only ONE thing on the entree menu — chicken. You’ll get three pieces of the Plaza Inn’s famous fried chicken with mashed potatoes, a buttermilk biscuit, and vegetables. Talk about a limited offering! ©Disney On the kids’ menu, options are scarce as well. You can either order Penne Pasta (which qualifies as a Check Meal), or the Kids’ Chicken. ©Disney But you DO have a dessert option in the form of Fresh Strawberry Cake! ©Disney Either way, you’d better not dine here without an absolute hankering for chicken.

Even as COVID-19 vaccination ramps up across the United States, the world is seeing a global spike in cases. COVID-19 vaccination tents at the Disneyland Resort ©Jeff Gritchen, Orange County Register/SCNG The CDC recently declared it safe for fully vaccinated Americans to travel, and the French President expressed hope that Americans would be able to visit France again this summer. However, even as the United States begins to loosen restrictions, other countries remain in lockdown. And just yesterday, the CDC updated its travel notice for the Bahamas from a Level 3 to a Level 4 risk, citing the spread of COVID-19 variants. Now, the Department of State is warning Americans not to travel internationally, as “the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose unprecedented risks to travelers.” According to Axios, it plans to issue “do not travel” guidelines for 80% of countries around the world. Flying to Orlando The Department of State always has a travel advisory issued for each country, varying from Level 1 (“Exercise normal precautions”) to Level 4 (“Do not travel”). Now, in an effort to “urge U.S. citizens to reconsider travel abroad,” the department plans to upgrade about 80% of countries to that Level 4 warning. ©Department of State According to the Department of State, countries with a Level 4 advisory have “greater likelihood of life-threatening risk.” Even fully vaccinated adults are encouraged “not to travel to the country or to leave as soon as it is safe to do so.” The current advisory map ©Department of State The Department of State does specify that conditions “could change at any time,” so we’ll keep a close eye out for any updates.

Disneyland’s theme parks are officially set to reopen on April 30th, and we can’t wait! New Orleans Square at Disneyland 2020 While we have been enjoying the popular eats in Walt Disney World, we truly can’t explain our excitement to eat some iconic Disneyland food again! We got a little taste of Disneyland eats at some of the food booths at A Touch of Disney, like churros and Dole Whip, but we’ve noticed a HUGE menu change at a classic Disneyland restaurant! The Disneyland restaurant we are talking about is Cafe Orleans, located in New Orleans Square. This place is KNOWN for their delicious Beignets and Monte Cristo sandwich, but both of these dishes have been affected by the latest menu change! Cafe Orleans 2019 Beignet-lovers, prepare yourself. The iconic beignets from Cafe Orleans are MISSING. Unfortunately, you heard us right. These babies are nowhere to be found on the current menu. Luckily, there is another place to grab some beignets — the Mint Julep Bar still has Mickey beignets on the menu! Cafe Orleans Mickey Beignets On a more positive note, the Monte Cristo on the menu is changing for the better! This meal now comes WITH pommes frites (also known as French fries). Classic Monte Cristo….yum. The sandwich remains the same, made with Sliced Turkey, Ham, and Swiss fried in a light batter and dusted with Powdered Sugar. It has also been served with a Berry Purée, but the Parmesan-Garlic Pommes Frites no longer need to be ordered separately!

Disney World mask policies are constantly changing, and recently the rule about face masks during outdoor pictures has eased up a bit. Tigger Recently, Mayor Demings commented on when the mask mandate could end in the state, and we recently got more information on when mask and social distancing rules may change in Florida. Today during a press conference with Mayor Demings, the Mayor of Orange County, he explained that they “are continuing to evaluate data and develop our plan” regarding the removal of face mask and social distancing policies. Mask Sign Although we recently learned that health and safety guidelines were expected to change soon, Mayor Demings now says “even with phasing, it’s going to likely be several months before you can see significant reduction in wearing facial coverings.” Orange Bird Mask! While mask mandates might not look different for a few months, he continued to say that “what you may see sooner than later perhaps is the reduction of the social distancing requirements.” He stated several times that these decisions would be based on data and science. Social Distancing Markers As for a timeline on a change in mandates, Mayor Demings said “sometime probably summertime, mid-to-late summer, we should see where we’re able to really relax the facial coverings.” There are three things that Mayor Demings mentioned that they are taking into consideration when deciding on the mandates: the recent increase in positive COVID-19 cases over the past 2 months, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine being paused, and the slight increase in hospitalizations. Distancing Markers to Queue Up for Slinky Dog Dash in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Currently 30% of the population is vaccinated, however the Mayor stresses the need for everyone to do their part when it comes to the vaccine. He mentioned that 50% of the population should be vaccinated before they can significantly relax the mask mandate. Mayor Demings stated that he will be meeting with medical professionals this week to discuss the mask mandate and what phasing should look like given the current circumstances. Minnie Mouse knows the importance of a comfortable face covering! As of right now, we have a loose timeline of when we could see mask and distancing mandates change in Florida. When more specific information rolls out and as Mayor Demings makes more statements, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Looking to try something new on your next Disney World vacation? Skip a meal at the parks and dine at one of the resort hotels — you’ll never know what may surprise you! Coronado Springs Resort Case in point: we stopped by Rix Sports Bar & Grill at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort today to try a fun dessert off of the kids menu! If you have any cotton candy fans in your household, you may want to call them over to have a look at this Cotton Candy Cheesecake! Cotton Candy Cheesecake This dessert is Cotton Candy-flavored Blue and Pink Swirled Cheesecake with a Graham Cracker Crust. It comes topped with thick Whipped Cream Cheese, Strawberry Syrup, Berries (including a Strawberry and Blueberry) and garnished with a piece of Fluffy Cotton Candy! It looks so whimsical! There was absolutely NO mistaking that this was indeed a Cotton Candy dessert. You would know the deal even if you were blindfolded — but don’t let that scare you away! It’s actually quite good! We were caught a bit off-guard with the first bite (like, WOW this is 10,000% Cotton Candy), but the more we dug in, the more we found ourselves truly enjoying this dish! While the flavor is distinctly cotton candy, we didn’t find this to be overpowering. Make it pink! Make it blue! The toppings really add a little something extra and they all taste so well together! We found the portion size to actually be pretty good for a kids dessert! It’s basically a regular cheesecake slice you’d get on any menu (minus Cheesecake Factory, of course!) and for just $5, we would say that this is a solid value. Not only would we order this dessert again, but we would eat it all by ourselves again (sorry, we’re not the best at sharing when we really like a dessert!). It’s so colorful and fun! We think kids AND adults would enjoy this dessert, so finish your next meal at Rix Sports Bar & Grill with a tasty, colorful slice of their Cotton Candy Cheesecake.

Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are set to reopen on April 30th, but when they reopen not all rides and restaurants will be available. We Can’t Wait to See This Castle Again! We’ve shared a look at the restaurants and rides that are confirmed to reopen, but missing from that list are some pretty popular rides including Disneyland’s Matterhorn Bobsleds. So, what’s going on with these rides and when might they reopen? We got a bit of an idea today. Earlier today, we shared how Grizzly River Run is not set to reopen with California Adventure Park on April 30th, and instead is listed on the Disneyland refurbishment calendar for a little while. Well, now we’ve got a better idea about what’s going on with some of the rides that aren’t set to reopen at Disneyland Park. Starting on April 30th, the Disneyland refurbishment calendar shows that Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Jungle Cruise, and Matterhorn Bobsleds will all be closed for refurbishment. Here’s What Things Look Like on April 30th ©Disneyland On June 26th, however, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters no longer appears on the closed list. So, we expect that the ride may be able to reopen on that date. Buzz is Gone! ©Disneyland The Jungle Cruise and the Matterhorn, however, continue to be listed as “Closed for Refurbishment” as far as the calendar will let us look — which is through June 28th at the moment. Still No Matterhorn or Jungle Cruise ©Disneyland So, it appears those two rides will be closed for a fairly long time. The closure of the Jungle Cruise makes sense as the Disneyland version of the ride will be getting some re-theming, just like the ride out in Disney World. Time to Go on an Adventure! ©Disneyland The re-theming includes the addition of a cohesive storyline, new characters, changes to some existing scenes, and an added depth to the ride’s backstory. Concept Art ©Disney At Disney World, the ride is being kept open as the changes are being made. In fact, we’ve already seen some things changed in the queue, Trader Sam removed from the ride, and some BIG pieces taken out of one scene! But, it appears the ride will remain closed for some time over at Disneyland. Click here to see everything we know about the changes coming to the Jungle Cruise! We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more details about these ride refurbishments and let you know what we find.
