Ever since Disney World reopened last summer, Mobile Ordering at restaurants and bars has become a HUGE focus in the parks and at the resorts. It’s basically most guests’ only option to order fast food at most locations! But let’s just say the process hasn’t always been the smoothest… . Mobile Order Pick Up In exciting Mobile Order news, though, we discovered that a Disney World area resort is TOTALLY raising the bar on the process, and we’re crossing our fingers that other Disney restaurants take note! With the MASSIVE shift towards Mobile Ordering at quick-service restaurants, cafes, and bars throughout Disney World, there have been some kinks to work through. Backlot Express Mobile Order Stations For instance, we’ve bet met with our fair share of unexpected lines, or the service has gone down altogether at random times! Mobile Order Line at Animal Kingdom So it’s GREAT to see that one spot has figured this whole Mobile Order thing out, and the location may surprise you! Mobile Order at Cabana Bar and Beach Club The Cabana Bar and Beach Club at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin is offering Mobile Order for bar service via QR codes right from your pool chair! Genius! Mobile Order from your pool chair! Every single chair by the pool comes equipped with its own tag, so all you need to do is scan the code on your phone, bring up the menu, and place an order from the comfort of your sunny seat! Mobile Order that COMES TO YOU! Yesssss. Mobile Order made easy Naturally, being at the Swan & Dolphin, you pretty much HAVE to order the beer with the dolphin on it, right? OK, maybe only we thought so. Mobile Order success All in all, the process was super fast and simple. Biggest points for not having to even stand up to get our order! Of course, this isn’t necessarily the most feasible in the parks. If guests are just waiting around at tables after ordering food, that means other guests can’t be eating at those tables. BUT, for a pool bar situation, this was pretty great. Cheers to Cabana Bar and Beach Club for mastering the art of Mobile Order!

We’ve been keeping up with the 50th anniversary makeover that Cinderella Castle has been getting. It is LOOKING AMAZING! LOOK at these gorgeous details! It all started with a new paint job, but then we watched as beautiful drapes were added to the towers and pretty gold ribbons were added to the spires. This ain’t the Pepto-pink castle from 25 years ago! But if you’re like us, and want to know how they did that, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley just recently shared a timelapse video of how the ribbons are being installed on the spires. And they did it by digitally modeling each turret on the castle so the ribbons would be a perfect fit. Just wow! We’re not gonna lie…it totes looks like they’re putting a really big hat on the spire. They do this overnight so that people like us notice new details on the castle EVERY DAY! Pretty amazing, right? And we’ll continue to follow the progress of the Cinderella Castle makeover — along with all the other big makeovers happening around Disney World before the 50th kicks off.

Whether you’re a first-timer at EPCOT or you’ve been dozens of times, there are still some things there that a lot of people seem to miss out on! What a Beautiful View! Sure, you’ll want to ride Frozen Ever After and Soarin’ and see all the World Showcase pavilions! But there’s SO MUCH MORE to do at EPCOT, including a lot of unique and fun things you might not even know about. Are you sleeping on some of the best gems in EPCOT?! Did you know you can ride an attraction that lets you see your food before you eat it? Or that you can pick up FREE collectible cards all around World Showcase? Well, we’re here to tell you about all these new and DIFFERENT things you’ll want to do before you leave EPCOT so you don’t miss out! Living With The Land Hi. We’re DFB and we love Living With The Land. Sorry, not sorry. This opening day attraction is one of the most underrated rides at EPCOT. It’s a relaxing boat ride (that is also an educational experience) that takes you through some of Disney World’s real, working greenhouses, where you can learn about new technology and techniques that can make agriculture more efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable. Living With The Land They showcase unique growing techniques that have produced Guinness Record yielding plants, a variety of Mickey-shaped plants (including cool molds to grow Mickey pumpkins!), and more. The bonus, though? Much of the produce grown in the greenhouses here is actually used by Disney World restaurants. So you have a chance to see exactly where your food comes from! The catchy “Listen to the Land” theme song may have left years ago, but this is still a surprisingly fun ride with (bonus!) rarely much of a wait (if any!). Here’s What Living With The Land Looks Like During The Holidays The Seas with Nemo and Friends Did you know that EPCOT is home to the second-largest aquarium in the United States? For a long time it was the largest in the WORLD. At The Seas with Nemo and Friends pavilion, you can see ALL manner of sea life, including manatees, dolphins, sharks, and more! The Sea Base includes a 5.7 million gallon Caribbean Coral Reef aquarium. That’s SO BIG you could easily fit Spaceship Earth’s big sphere in there! That’s massive! Manatees! The pavilion also features a relaxing family-friendly ride based on Finding Nemo, as well as an interactive attraction called Turtle Talk with Crush (which is currently still closed). And if you want to dine on seafood while watching the aquarium’s 6,000+ inhabitants, you might want to check out Coral Reef Restaurant, which offers a view of this impressive aquarium while you eat. Read Our Most Recent Review of Coral Reef Restaurant Kidcot Did you know you can get FREE collectible cards ALL over World Showcase? If you’ll look at your EPCOT map (either the one you pick up there or on the My Disney Experience app), you’ll see a Kidcot Fun Stop at each pavilion. There, you can pick up a collectible card — FOR FREE — with facts about the cultures and traditions of each country. Kidcot Fun Stop in Morocco Collect them all, and you can get a free little plastic bag to keep your cards in so you don’t lose them! This is a great activity for kids, although adults might want to “collect them all,” too! Click Here for the Ultimate 2021 Guide to EPCOT Mitsukoshi Department Store The Japan Pavilion is home to one of the largest stores at EPCOT, and it’s full of fun Japanese merchandise! This is Mitsukoshi Department Store, and the Disney World location is just one of several Mitsukoshi department stores that exist all over the world — but it’s also the only one in North America! We could wander around in here for DAYS. If you’re looking for unique merchandise, like unicorn mermaids, Animal Crossing gear, Hello Kitty merchandise, incense, tea sets, Japanese candy and snacks, and more — you’ll want to make a stop here! It’s also a great place to shop for unique Japanese souvenirs, and anime fans — don’t miss out on all the great anime-inspired merchandise! Seriously, this place is massive has some real gems hiding inside. Learn More About The History of Mitsukoshi Folk Art Gallery at Mexico Did you know there’s an entire Mexican folk art gallery at the Mexico Pavilion? And right now, it’s dedicated exclusively to Dia De Los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday. The gallery includes intricately carved “papel picado” (paper art), as well as calaveras, aka sugar skulls. Dia de Los Muertos exhibit The highlight of the current exhibit is the Bridal Couple, united in life, as well as in death. You’ll find this small gallery located right as you enter the pyramid. Check out the Mexico Minnie Ears We Uncovered at EPCOT Stave Church Gallery If Norse mythology and Viking history are your things, you should probably check out the Stave Church Gallery at the Norway Pavilion. The Stave Church is the big building at the front of the pavilion and is based on a real location in Norway. The exhibit there not only explains the Norse creation myth but also looks at the various deities the Norse worshipped. Gods and Vikings! This is especially appealing for Marvel fans — the Stave Church Gallery lets you get to know the non-Marvel, mythological versions of Odin, Thor, and Loki and learn something new at the same time! (Sorry guys, Chris Hemsworth isn’t hiding in there. But you can still learn about Thorsday!) Check Out The NEW Merchandise We Found In Norway That Lets You Embrace Your Inner Viking American Heritage Gallery The American Heritage Gallery at the American Adventure Pavilion is all about exploring Native American culture and history. The current exhibit is called “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art” and showcases authentic Native artifacts, as well as more contemporary Native American pieces of art. American Heritage Gallery There are interactive displays that cover native communities from seven geographic regions across the United States. This exhibit will allow you to learn about Native American art in a way you probably haven’t experienced before. See Photos Of The Opening of the Soul Exhibit at American Adventure Bijutsu-Kan Gallery Take a deep dive into Japanese art at the Japan Pavilion in the Bijutsu-Kan Gallery. The current exhibit covers Japan’s “cute” (or kawaii, in Japanese) culture, and focuses on everything adorable, like Hello Kitty (and yes, you will see Hello Kitty in the exhibit)! Bijutsu-Kan Gallery The gallery even has a mock Tokyo apartment of a kawaii superfan with all things cute that your heart might just want to explode out of your chest. Because CUTE. Check Out This Disney-Themed Plane From Japan! Race Against The Sun Over in Morocco, you can get a unique opportunity to learn more about two modern-day Sahara Desert competitions in Race Against The Sun: the Marathon des Sables and Rallye Aicha des Gazelles du Maroc. But you’ll also learn a lot about an ancient race of people from the Sahara Desert known as the Berbers. Race Against the Sun The exhibit features interactive experiences, as well as a lot of information about how the people of the Sahara survive — and succeed – in such a harsh environment. Here’s A Closer Look At Race Against The Sun Festivals!! No matter what time of year you go to EPCOT, it’s likely there’s a festival going on, and festivals are a great chance to eat around the world in an entirely new way. Each festival has its own theme: The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is ALL about food and wine and typically takes place mid-summer through fall, the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays celebrates the holiday season in the winter, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts celebrates all the arts in winter to early spring, and the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival celebrates plant life in all its forms from spring til summer! Festival of the Arts Each festival has specific entertainment and activities, too — not only can you eat a variety of themed foods at various internationally-inspired food booths around EPCOT, but you can also participate in fun activities like scavenger hunts and more. So once you know which festival you’re attending, be sure to check back here, because we’ll have a guide ready to help you find the best food, entertainment, activities, and more! Here’s What You Need To Know About the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! Scavenger Hunts Scavenger hunts are fun for the whole family, and there is often a scavenger hunt of some sort to be found at EPCOT throughout the year. Not only does each festival have its own specially-themed scavenger hunt, but you can also participate in other scavenger hunts around EPCOT at other times. For example, every spring, EPCOT hosts an Easter-themed hunt where you have to find Easter Eggs hidden throughout EPCOT with characters on them. We found one! The scavenger hunts usually cost under $10 for a map and stickers, and when you complete the hunt, you get a nice prize (making them totally worth it). In recent years, we’ve seen some fun prizes like plate sets, tumblers, and more! It’s fun — AND there’s a prize! What’s not to love? Here’s More About EPCOT’s Easter Egg Hunt Eat Unique Snacks From Around The World So here’s our absolute favorite thing that (in our humble opinion) EVERYONE must do at EPCOT — eat around the world! But don’t just eat the usual fare — there are some super unique snacks that you can only get at EPCOT unless you travel to the REAL countries to get them! For example, don’t miss out on the maple popcorn in Canada or the red bean and ginger ice creams at Lotus Blossom Cafe in China. Kaki Gori in Japan There’s also Kaki-Gori, which is like a creamy shaved ice — you can find that in Japan. Or treat yo’self to an ice cream martini from L’Artisan des Glaces in France. Want to try some unique potato chip flavors? Pop on over to House of Good Fortune in China and try out a variety of chip flavors, including Honey Butter, Salted Yolk Rice Dumplings, Fried Crab, and more! Read Our Review of the Fried Crab Chips So if you have a day (or two, or three, or more) to spend in EPCOT, you now have a NEW list of unique things you need to do before you leave! Have fun!!!

Celebrities, they’re just like us! And that means, lots of them are also huge Disney fans! Harry Styles ©Newsweek Well, it looks like Harry Styles falls into that category. He’s broken the internet after a photo shoot where he dressed as an iconic Disney character! These photos have been around for a while, but the internet is always surprising us by digging up great moments from the past! According to Newsweek, Harry Styles has broken the internet after photos of him dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid reemerged. These photos were taken back in 2019 during a promotional photoshoot for Saturday Night Live! Wow, it’s like we’re watching the movie live before our eyes — he and Ariel must be twins! Iconic ©Saturday Night Live In the photos, Styles is dressed in Ariel’s iconic red wig and green mermaid tail complete with a seashell top. He’s also holding a glass of champagne — life IS the bubbles under the sea! Red really is his color! ©Saturday Night Live Naturally, the internet had a field day with these pictures! There are memes galore about this new look. Even though the look-alike is uncanny, we have to say, we don’t remember THIS scene from the movie… Ariel? More like HARRY-iel! ©Saturday Night Live The singer was offered the role of Prince Eric in the live-action remake of the animated classic, however, the role eventually went to Jonah Hauer-King. According to these pictures, it looks like Styles turned down the role so he could play Ariel instead! Check back with us for more fun Disney updates.

So it’s no secret that we LOOOOOVVVEEE Bread Pudding. We’re just going to blame ‘Ohana for turning us on to bread pudding in the first place. Doesn’t this look yummy? But we’ve loved other bread puddings we’ve tried, too, including the Pineapple Bread Pudding at Kona Cafe, the Toffee Bread Pudding at House of Blues, and the seasonal Hot Cocoa Sea Salt Caramel Bread Pudding at Hollywood Scoops. And we got to try a brand new TROPICAL version of this yummy dessert TODAY! So let us introduce the Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding at Banana Cabana at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. So yeah, we HAD to dig into that! This wonderful dessert is Pineapple Coconut Bread Pudding with a Caramel Sauce — AND it comes with a side of vanilla ice cream. We’re in! The caramel sauce is not the gooey kind that drips all over — in this case, it sort of just soaks into the bread pudding and infuses its flavor with the rest of the dessert. There is also a TON of pineapple on top, with pieces of pineapple and coconut baked into the bread pudding. The flavor of this baby is !!! So yummy! Ooey and gooey and oh, so good. What’s really cool about this bread pudding, though, is that it’s served with a side of Vanilla Ice Cream. Yummy melty ice cream We dolloped that ice cream on top of the bread pudding because that’s what it’s there for!!! A la mode is where it’s at! A la mode… All in all, this is a wonderful tropical-inspired dessert. ‘Ohana’s bread pudding with the drippy caramel sauce is a CLASSIC that we adore, but we like that Disney decided to do something unique with this one. And it worked! You can’t eat just one bite… So what else makes this bread pudding so amazing? Well, a former chef from ‘Ohana (you know, the place with the bread pudding we all obsess about) created this recipe!!! So no wonder we loved it! If you love tropical flavors, you need to run over to Caribbean Beach now and grab this snack for $10. And we’ll let you know if we find any other great snacks at Disney World!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new look inspired by Moana! New Moana themed rooms at the Polynesian ©Disney The resort has been undergoing some lengthy refurbishments to incorporate the new theme and is expected to reopen later this summer! We’ve already gotten a first look at the Moana-inspired guest rooms, and now we’re seeing a little more from the resort’s Cast Member preview! Cast Members were invited to check out the new guest rooms at the Polynesian Village Resort, as shared on the Walt Disney World Cast and Community Facebook page! Behind these lifeguards, you can see Moana-themed art and bright pops of color in the room, like we saw in the original sneak peek of the rooms. Plus, the bed’s headboard is filled with intricate designs and details. ©Walt Disney World Cast and Community The walls are now covered with massive designs depicting Maui and Moana along with huge flowers and patterns. The rooms are inspired by the Pacific Ocean. You can see all different shades of blues in the curtains and couch behind the Cast Member here. ©Walt Disney World Cast and Community Along with their sneak peek, they also were visited by some special guests. Goofy stopped by to say hello! Plus, you can see the Cast Member here rocking some nail polish under the new, gender-inclusive “Disney look” guidelines. ©Walt Disney World Cast and Community As we get more details about this project at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we’ll be sure to share updates!

The Disney parks are a place of constant change! Things change frequently in the Disney parks! Things are consistently evolving and updating to keep up with the times, whether it’s the technology used or the rules in place. This week, policies were changed for Cast Members regarding the Disney dress code, and today we spotted those changes in effect in the parks! While we were getting on the Skyliner in Disney World today, we were assisted by Camilo from Puerto Rico. And while we were speaking to Camilo, we noticed something… Say hey to Camilo! …Camilo is sporting visible tattoos! Previously, Cast Members were not allowed to have their tattoos showing, and were required to cover them up while at work. With the changes to the dress code, they’re now free to show tattoos that are deemed “appropriate.” Camilo doesn’t have to cover up the ink anymore! In addition to allowing tattoos, the new rules state that Cast Members have “greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices.” We’ll be looking out for other CMs following these new rules! We’ll be looking out for Cast Members sporting these changes in the parks, and we’ll make sure to keep you updated with any more details! Stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!

If you’ve ever been to The Edison in Disney Springs, you know that it’s definitely one of the more unique restaurants at Disney World. The Edison The Edison is known for its nightlife and entertainment. If steampunk vibes, good eats, and unique drinks are up your alley, it might be a good pick for you! Now, the restaurant is introducing a new, spicy (?!) drink! Over the last couple of months, we’ve noticed The Edison has been adding some new items to its menu! Disney Springs Most of these new items have come in the form of food, but today, The Edison shared that they’ll be introducing a brand new cocktail with some pretty big flavors. The Gilgamesh will be a tequila-based drink that will feature orange and chocolate flavors — as well as some spice! If you’re an adventurous drinker, or like a cocktail with a kick, this might be a fun one to try. © The Edison We’ve had our share of spicy cocktails in the past, but with ancho and habanero in the mix, we’re hoping we won’t actually have to conjure superhuman strength in order to drink this one.

Another week has gone by and we’ve gotten some MASSIVE updates that could impact your next Disney trip. SO. BEAUTIFUL. Have you been wondering when/if Club Cool would be coming back to EPCOT? Curious when face mask rules in Central Florida might change? Heard about the BIG Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group update yet? We’ve got ALL the Disney news you need to know right here! 1. The NEW Mouse Gear + Club Cool is Coming BACK! We start our tour of Disney news with some epic EPCOT announcements. A while ago, the old Mouse Gear store in EPCOT closed and we got a new, temporary Mouse Gear location for all of our shopping needs. But soon things will be changing. Late last week, Disney announced that a NEW store will be replacing Mouse Gear! The store is called the “Creations Shop” and it is set to be the park’s flagship merchandise spot. Creations Shop concept art ©Disney Its design is inspired by Mickey Mouse and it’ll have all kinds of cool details honoring the Mouse that started it all. Creations Shop is set to open THIS SUMMER, so soon we’ll all get to see it in person and we cannot wait! Click here to see more about the Creations Shop! Next to the Creations Shop, a fan-favorite EPCOT spot will be returning in an all new way. That’s right folks, CLUB COOL IS COMING BACK! Club Cool The “revitalized” Club Cool will reopen this summer and is set to “celebrate Coca-Cola in a fresh, new way” while still keeping our favorite part of the experience — the ability to explore Coca-Cola products from around the world. Will Beverly be back?!?! We’ll just have to wait and see! Click here to learn more about the return of Club Cool! 2. Cast Members May Look Different the Next Time You Visit This week, Disney also shared that they have made some BIG changes when it comes to a part of their company culture and the “Disney look.” First, as part of these changes and because of their focus on creating a place where everyone is welcome, Disney has officially unveiled another “key” or guiding principle for the work it does — the key of Inclusion. The Key of Inclusion in the Center With the Heart ©Disney Disney has also updated its policies about the “Disney Look” — basically the way Cast Members show up and must look during work. Disney’s policies will now allow for greater flexibility in terms of expression including gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, and costume choices. Cast Members will also be allowed to have “appropriate” visible tattoos. Updated “Disney Look” ©Disney According to the Chairman of the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products division, Josh D’Amaro, these changes are meant to enable the Cast Members to “better express their cultures and individuality at work.” Click here to see more about these big changes! 3. Mask and Distancing Rules in Central Florida May Be Changing This week we also got some important updates about the future of mask and distancing requirements in Central Florida. Right now, Orange County, Florida, where part of Disney World is located, has a mask mandate in place. However, the Orange County Mayor, Mayor Jerry Demings, has recently commented on how this mandate could be changing. Masks Are Still Required in Disney World Earlier this week, Mayor Demings said that they are “working with the Department of Health on a plan to phase reducing requirements of wearing facial coverings and social distancing.” Mayor Demings has noted that he still thinks we are a few months away from a time where masks may not be required or requested at all. But, he said there is expected to be a phased approach toward reducing some requirements as we move toward the summer. Keep in mind that masks continue to be required in Orange County, Florida and they are still required in Disney World. Click here to see more about what Mayor Demings had to say. 4. Getting a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance Just Got WAY Easier! Hoping to ride one of Disney World’s most popular rides — Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance? Well, you’re going to need to sign up for a Boarding Group for that! Boarding Groups are distributed every day at 7AM (from outside the park) and again at 1PM for those who couldn’t get a group in the morning. Have You Been Able to Score a Boarding Group? Previously, to get a boarding group at 1PM, you had to PHYSICALLY be inside of Disney’s Hollywood Studios at 1PM, when the groups were released. BUT, that has now changed!! Now, guests are able to join that 1PM group from anywhere on Disney property, as long as they tapped into Hollywood Studios earlier that day. Hopefully, This Will Make it Easier to Get a Boarding Group! So, you can tap into Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the morning, ride a few rides, and then decide to go back to your Disney hotel room to rest. Then, when 1PM hits, you can try to grab a Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance boarding group from the comfort of your Disney hotel room since you had already tapped into the park earlier! This is a BIG change that’ll hopefully make your next trip just a tiny bit easier when it comes to Boarding Groups! Just remember that to get a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance, you do need a Park Pass for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Click here to see more about this Boarding Group change! 5.

EPCOT is getting a MAJOR transformation, and so much of the park is or has been under construction over the past year or so. This pavilion is so underrated! Even World Showcase has seen some construction — most notably in France with the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction being built. But Morocco has been seeing some work getting done, too, especially now that Disney has taken over ownership of the pavilion. Recently, we noticed construction walls up in Morocco… . And no, we don’t think the camel knew what was going on back there any more than we did! What’s Going on Back There? As a reminder, here’s what the area behind there looked like before the walls went up. This used to be a popular photo spot for guests. But typically more inappropriate photos were taken here. Before Well, the walls have come down and the mystery has officially been solved, and…drumroll, please… . Ooh, what cool thing did Disney add? The all-important construction work back there was all for a…door. A DOOR. They put in a door! It is a PRETTY door, at least. It’s a door! All kidding aside, the door gives this area even more character. It also looks legit — we wonder if it’s just for looks or if it actually goes anywhere? Maybe it’s the entrance to the Cave of Wonders?! If we spot any other construction walls coming down at EPCOT, we’ll let you know!

It’s springtime in Disney World! EPCOT If you’re making the trek to The Most Magical Place on Earth next week, you should probably get packing soon! Before you do though, it’s a good idea to check in on that Disney World weather. Well, we’re here to help. Here’s an update on the full forecast for next week in Disney World! Weather Forecast According to The Weather Channel, we’ve got another rainy week coming in Disney World! Last week we said goodbye to cooler temperatures and hello to wet days. Will this week be more of the same? Or will it be even rainier?! Let’s find out! April 19th Monday, April 19th will start the week with pretty toasty daytime temps and a comfy night. That day is going to max out at an 84-degree high and we’ll see 63 degrees at night. ©The Weather Channel YES! This week we’ve FINALLY made it out of the 50s. 63 degrees might still feel a little chilly but if you’re used to mild temps, you can probably skip packing the layers. Just don’t skip that rain layer! April 20th The next day, April 20th brings us the coolest temperatures of the whole week when it comes to the high at 74 degrees during the day, and keeping that low down at a cool but still comfy 67 degrees. ©The Weather Channel Get ready for scattered showers and thunderstorms with the (oh no) potential for heavy rainfall. Get that poncho packed in your park bag or you could end up DRENCHED. April 21st On Wednesday, April 21st, we’re going to see temps that are pretty similar to the day before. Your low is gonna slide down into the very low 60s for a relatively cool (but dry!) evening. ©The Weather Channel We’ll likely see a rainy morning on Tuesday but we can expect some sun in the afternoon. April 22nd For Thursday, April 22nd, we’re seeing a day with continued warm (but not too warm!) temps in the high-80s and a cooler evening in the low 60s again. ©The Weather Channel Keep in mind this is still a 20-degree change in temperature from the high to the low. 61 degrees is only BARELY out of the 50s, so you might need an extra layer for your nights in the parks or Disney Springs. April 23rd The week continues with slightly higher temperatures in both the day and the nighttime on April 23rd. ©The Weather Channel And that chance of rain is sticking around with the potential for a few showers in the afternoon. April 24th Saturday, April 24th brings us even warmer temps up in the mid-80s and. YEP, we’ve got some rain. Get ready for some thunderstorm potential. Remember, lighting and heavy rides can close some outdoor attractions so you might want to make them a priority early. ©The Weather Channel Here, we’ll see an 85-degree high and a 69-degree low. April 18th And we’ll wrap up our week on April 18th with still-warm temperatures and the continued chance of thunderstorms. It’s pretty important to stay dry! ©The Weather Channel And remember, a rainy 66 degrees might feel a LOT cooler than you’re expecting. We recommend an extra warmth layer or using an insulated rain layer for your evening. Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures are projected to start on the more mild side and rise over the week. We’re looking at a range of 70s to 80s highs and 60s lows. ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©Click Orlando News 6 …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©WESH 2 News There’s even MORE rain than last week in the forecast so Florida spring is DEFINITELY here. We reported from a SUPER wet Disney World during a “Severe Weather Warning,” so you can get a glimpse at what a crazy stormy day might look like. Want to see Disney World during a “Severe Weather Warning?” Click here! Tips for Weathering the Weather! So, what are our best tips for packing? Get ready for those April showers! Florida’s springtime showers are NO JOKE and you might be surprised at how hard it can be to find cover in Disney World during a sudden downpour. And you can expect a LOT of sudden downpours. But, we want you to be prepared! Tomorrowland on a “Severe Weather Warning” day Keep an eye on that radar, even when it’s sunny. If you see that there’s a big block of rain coming, head for a merchandise shop or indoor queue BEFORE the sky starts to look angry. As soon as those skies open up, folks will be clamoring for a roof. Plus, make sure you’ve got a rain layer handy. Want some tips for handling severe weather? Click here! Get ready for the heat AND chill! This week is bringing us hotter temperatures AND cooler temperatures. True, we’re not dealing with any extremes, but it can tricky to prep for BOTH warm days and cold nights with just one park bag or outfit. Jackets! The secret? LAYERING. Snag a warmth layer or a rain layer that has some insulation and tie it around your waist or keep it in your bag for when those temperatures drop. At the same time, make sure you’re lightening up those layers in the heat and wear that sunscreen! And do not forget that Pancho, rain jacket, and umbrella! You may also want to pack an extra pair of shoes and socks, just in case they get wet. Click here for more tips for packing your park bag!

Guys. We HAVE to talk about the Everest Base Camp Macaroon. That’s an Insta-worthy treat! It popped up at Thirsty River Bar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom earlier this month, and we were OBSESSED. This spin on Disneyland’s iconic Matterhorn Macaroon tasted SO GOOD. It was coconut, chocolate, and green tea paradise, and we just couldn’t get enough. If that isn’t convincing enough, here’s a quick run-down of this snack: THREE mountain tops made of chocolate and coconut macaroons. There’s also a “snowcap” of white chocolate and a flurry of snowflake sprinkles on a base of green tea chocolate crumbs. It’s $5.99 and super shareable! YUM! Or…guess we should say it WAS $5.99 and super shareable. Because sadly, the Everest Base Camp Macaroon is now gone. That’s right, friends: if you didn’t get the chance to try what was easily one of our favorite snacks of 2021, it’s now too late. Farewell, Everest Base Camp Macaroon WHY is this beloved macaroon gone so soon?! There’s no telling, really. Many of Disney’s treats do seem to be seasonal or limited, and unfortunately, this was one of those cases. But boy did we all love it when it was here. Everest Base Camp Macaroon Our readers on Instagram called it “phenomenal” and a “need” (and we totally agreed). Many of you were so happy to see a version of Disneyland’s Matterhorn Macaroon on the east coast! But sadly, we’ve gotta let you know that the Everest Base Camp Macaroon is no longer. And Disney, we’re sorry to say we think that was a mistake. There were even green tea crumbles! Why? Well, so few people got to try it! We had so many readers tell us how excited they were to sample this new treat. One reader said, “Hoping to visit in November, I’ll be getting those for sure,” while another mentioned that she was “adding this to our list!” Except neither of them will get to try it, because it’s gone. We MISS you! Now, as one reader pointed out, Animal Kingdom has been killin’ it with their snack game lately. There are even some special treats available for Earth Month right now! So yes, you do still have plenty of options for tasty eats in the park. But nothing will quite match the Everest Base Camp Macaroon. PLEASE bring it back, Disney!!

We’re LIVE from Universal Studios Hollywood today for the grand reopening of the park! Disneyland opens in just a few weeks, but this is our first step inside a major reopened California theme park. Let’s Go to Universal Studios Hollywood! Today, we’re going to take a look at new procedures, crowds, and more! We will be updating this post throughout the day, so be sure to check back. Arriving at Universal Studios Hollywood We made our way over to Universal Studios today, parked, went through the security and bag check… We’re Almost There! …and made our way into the park! Ready to Go Inside?! Inside the Park: Social Distancing Markers, Crowds, and More Want to do some shopping? The Universal Studio Store was open for all your souvenir needs. Shop ‘Til You Drop! In one area leading to the store, we found an entrance only sign. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to control the flow of traffic to maintain appropriate distancing, some areas have been marked as entrances only, while others are exits. This is much like what has been done over at Disney World, although we did notice some changes at select stores for a period of time. Pay Attention to the Signs! So, just be sure to look for those signs at stores, restaurants, and other locations throughout the park. Another Entrance Only Sign — Got To Look For Them! We also spotted a sign in the park with some specific dining rules. Eating and drinking are only allowed in designated dining areas at Universal Studios Hollywood. Everyone must wear their face coverings unless they are actively eating or drinking. If you’re dining indoors, then you may only be seated with your same household in a single table. If you’re dining outdoors, up to 3 households may sit together per table. Important Dining Rules Keep in mind that California has specific rules when it comes to theme park reopening guidelines as they apply to various things including queues, who may enter the theme parks, etc. Click here to read about California’s updated theme park reopening guidelines. In terms of the crowds, we certainly found areas in the parks where there was plenty of space… Lots of Space …and pretty low crowds. Lower Crowds in This Area In certain areas, Universal Studios had placed barricades and signs directing guests to keep to a specific side of the walkway. This can help the flow of traffic and prevent guests from potentially crossing closely to one another. Keep to One Side! Over at The Secret Life of Pets Off the Leash attraction, there was a sign directing guests to join the virtual line. This is another big thing you’ll want to look for throughout Universal Studios to make sure you’ve signed up for any virtual lines appropriately so you can hop on those attractions. Time to Join the Virtual Line After passing by The Secret Life of Pets attraction, we roamed past some other spots in the park including the area near The Simpsons Ride… The Simpsons …and Hogsmeade. You’re a Wizard! Then, we made our way to our first official ride of the day — the Studio Tour. There were a number of signs in front of the attraction regarding some health and safety measures and other requirements. Time for a Studio Tour While in the queue, we spotted various social distancing markers… We’ve Seen These Before! …and various signs on the floor, showing guests where they should stand and reminding them to keep an appropriate distance from others. This is similar to what we’ve seen in Disney World and elsewhere. Be Sure to Watch for These From what we could see, it looked like guests were being loaded in every other row on the vehicles for the Studio Tour (just like what’s being done over at Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney World now). Loading Procedures And that’s a peek at what things look like at Universal Studios Hollywood on their reopening day. But, the day has only just begun!
