Today, we stopped by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out a restaurant that recently extended its hours! Animal Kingdom Lodge The Mara was previously only open for breakfast, but now it’s back to offering dinner! We made a quick visit and grabbed some dessert along the way. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. In honor of our lovely feathered friends that reside at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, we grabbed the Flamingo Cake. Flamingos The Flamingo Cake is a plant-based chocolate spice cake with coconut ganache! It was also topped with candy bits and a chocolate swirl. Flamingo Cake! The flavors of the spice cake honestly reminded us of Christmastime. We could really taste the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, which blended really nicely with the chocolate. The coconut ganache didn’t have an especially strong flavor, and it contributed to the overall moistness of the cake. A look inside the cake The cake was really rich, in a good, filling way. It was also a really great portion for its $4.79 price tag. The candy bits on top of the cake were tart and added a fun pop of color! And the chocolate swirl was a nice, tiny nod to the flamingos nearby. There they are! We were pleasantly surprised with this treat and would definitely order it again! Animal Kingdom Lodge is definitely off the beaten path, but if you’re stopping by, it’s worth checking out! But, be warned that kids may not like the spice flavor. Luckily, there are other options on the menu (like the Nyala Brownie which we also LOVE) that are kid-friendly. Check back for more reviews from Disney World coming your way!

Animal Kingdom has been serving up so many new treats this week. Animal Kingdom…new treat hub? Some of the snacks we tried in the park were serious hits — we’re looking at you, Everest Base Camp Macaroon. Today, we headed over to Pandora — The World of Avatar to get a taste of a new, boozy drink they’re mixing up. We found the drink over at Satu’li Canteen — it’s the Kiwi Margarita! It matches the plants! This margarita was pretty straightforward. It includes Corazón Blanco Single Estate Tequila, Sweet-and-Sour, Lime Juice, and Kiwi. And, it has kiwi slices floating in the drink itself for some fun, fruity decoration. Can we get some salt on this rim? This drink was especially sweet, but the flavor didn’t really scream “kiwi” to us, even with the kiwi pieces floating in it. Mostly, it just tasted like an extra sweet version of a margarita. We definitely would’ve liked to have a traditional salted rim to help counteract some of that sweetness. It blends in perfectly with the Pandora scenery This drink didn’t wow us, but it could be a good option for someone who enjoys margaritas that aren’t super strong. That being said, if you’re looking for a strong margarita with big flavor, this is probably not the drink for you! If you want to try the Kiwi Margarita for yourself, you can check it out over at Satu’li Canteen for $12. Is Animal Kingdom THE Place for Snacks in Disney World Right Now?

Disney artists create some pretty awesome things. We’ve watched them create realistic-looking chalk art in real-time and even paint portraits of Mickey ridiculously quickly. Tree of Life Earlier this year, we saw artists turn a 40-ton pile of sand into a sculpture dedicated to Raya and the Last Dragon. And it was so incredible, we’re still wondering how they did it. Now, we’ve got another sand creation to marvel at in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We spotted artists working on ANOTHER pile of sand at the Discovery Island Stage in Animal Kingdom. And they were busy carving new shapes into it! Another beautiful sand sculpture It didn’t take us long to realize that these shapes are whales! Look at the incredible details — and the artists have just started! Whales! So, why whales? Well, it turns out that this sculpture is promoting Secrets of the Whales, a National Geographic series on Disney+ that’s produced by James Cameron and narrated by Sigourney Weaver. The series will take us deep into the ocean depths to look at life from the perspective of five different whale species. SO COOL! Secrets of the Whales premieres on April 22nd And yes, we’re totally channeling Dory right now because we speak whale, too! Don’t miss the premiere of Secrets of the Whales on Disney+ on April 22nd. We’ll be sure to share updated photos to show the progress of this WHALE of a sculpture! If You’ve Ever Wanted to Meet A Disney Artist, Here’s Your Chance!

The CDC has consistently been churning out new guidelines in response to the global health crisis. Will Disney set sail again this year? Earlier today, the CDC announced that those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can travel. However, the return of cruises is still unclear — just last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to file a lawsuit against the CDC if cruises are not permitted to return by this summer. Now an update from the CDC lays the foundation for the return of cruise ships again. The CDC has released another phase of its Framework for Conditional Sailing Order. The cruise industry has been seriously impacted by the pandemic, and now the second phase in the CDC’s order is taking steps toward the eventual return of cruises. Disney Dream The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that the health of crew, travelers, and port personnel is protected before returning to standard passenger operations. The second phase of the Conditional Sailing Order focuses on implementing safety protocols that will mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19. Disney Magic Any cases of COVID-19 must be reported daily, as opposed to weekly. Ships’ crews will also be routinely tested, and a plan for their vaccination is to be determined before passenger operations resume. The testing of the crew is determined by the ship’s “color status,” in relation to COVID-19. Beach-goers As cruises prepare for “simulated voyages,” they must coordinate with the ports they plan to operate with, creating agreements between the cruise ship operators, port authorities, and local health authorities. These agreements include multiple components — port operations (which includes vaccination plans), a medical care plan, and a housing plan. These must be in line with the CDC’s designated guidelines. Let’s Set Sail! At this time, the CDC has not mentioned any dates when passenger sailings may return.

We’ve gotten some unique soft serve and DOLE whip creations at Pineapple Lanai in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. What Will Pineapple Lanai Bring Us Today? We got a WHOLE pineapple filled with DOLE whip, we got a DOLE whip combo we never knew we needed, and one with POPPING CANDY! And now we’ve found another limited time beauty and SPOILER ALERT: it. is. fantastic. Introducing the shimmering, shiny, beautiful Easter Marshmallow Soft Serve! This treat is made with pink marshmallow soft serve ice cream, topped with Easter sprinkles, and we got ours with glitter too. Edible glitter, it’s a thing we (and Instagram) know and love. OooOooOo AaAaaAh Just what is included in those Easter sprinkles? Well, tiny little eggs, bunnies, chicks, & ducks of course!! Hello Most Adorable Sprinkles Ever Okay, okay, so it is WORTHY to go on your Instagram — we’re talking stories, a post, both, it could be ALL over. Your friends will be SO jealous. So, it’s cute — we get it. But, does it taste good?! Ummmmmm…YES! SPRINKLES! Our reporter who had this treat feared it would be sickly sweet. And considering it is made of marshmallow soft serve, we think that was a perfectly rational fear. BUT thankfully, there was nothing to be afraid of here! Our reporter said that the treat was SO GOOD! The Beauty Shot Instead of being sickly sweet, it was much more creamy. They felt like it was more cream-based, similar to like a vanilla or coconut soft serve, not a DOLE whip. The marshmallow taste was nice — kind-of like Marshmallow Fluff but in soft-serve form. It did not have that Peeps-type marshmallow taste, so no need to worry about that. Just Be Careful, It Melts FAST! Overall, our reporter said they would totally get this treat again!! If you’re NOT a marshmallow fan or you really hate pink and glitter (you could eat this with your eyes closed though, just a thought), this might not be a good choice for you. But, you could just opt for one of the other delicious options at this spot instead. If you do want to try this LIMITED TIME Easter treat though, be sure to head to Pineapple Lanai ASAP and order this beauty for $4.99.

We’re getting ready for the reopening of Disneyland Resort on April 30th! Disneyland As we get closer and closer to the opening date, we’ve been keeping an eye out for any updates related to what we can expect from the reopened parks. Now, Disney is reminding guests about the guidelines for purchasing Disneyland tickets. When Disneyland reopens, it will be operating at a limited capacity and only California residents are permitted to visit. These policies are in place in order to follow the theme park reopening guidelines created by the state of California. Now, Disneyland has sent out a reminder about following California state guidelines when purchasing park tickets, as shared by LaughingPlace.com. Lamplight Lounge! Disneyland noted the ticket purchasing guidelines as follows: “Per the state guidelines, the name and contact information of each person who purchases a ticket to the parks should be collected for contact tracing purposes. This information must be provided by the ticket purchaser, who will serve as the main contact on behalf of his/her entire party.” “In addition, at the time a guest purchases park tickets and makes a park reservation, the purchasing guest must confirm that the guest’s party size will not contain more than 3 households and that the guest, and all members of the guest’s party, are California residents, since the guidelines limit theme park attendance to in-state visitors only.” Pixar Pier!

Alright, folks, it seems like Disney’s Animal Kingdom is seriously stepping up its snack game at the moment. Expedition Everest! We recently tried some cotton candy-topped drinks in the park, along with a life-changing macaroon inspired by Expedition Everest. Then, today, we spotted another new treat that we just had to try! At the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck, you can find snacks like ice cream cones and floats. The newest concoction on the menu is the Yeti Sundae! Anandapur Ice Cream Truck The sundae includes chocolate soft-serve topped with vanilla soft-serve, blue cake crumbs, blue sugar, snowflake sprinkles, and a little chocolate yeti topper. All the blue additions really make the sundae POP! Yeti Sundae! We loved the mix of the soft-serve along with the combo of cake crumbles! The crumbles tasted just like vanilla cake (but dyed blue, of course). They were nice and fresh too. The blue is super eye-catching! Although the added decorations make this sundae look interesting, it’s a pretty basic ice cream sundae. That’s why we think anyone who loves ice cream would also love this! And, if you’re an Expedition Everest fan, that’s an added bonus. Check out that yeti! We really enjoyed this ice cream and you can try it yourself for $5.49!

If you’re a Disney fan, or you’ve ever been to a Disney park, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve walked away with a souvenir or Disney merchandise of some kind. Mouse Gear is one of the biggest culprits of our strange Disney finds One thing we try to keep our eyes peeled for when walking around Disney is new merch because you never really know what you’re going to find…or where you’ll find it. One thing we didn’t really expect was for the parks to become such a hub for kitchen and food items, but here we are! There have been several installments lately including some Mickey cookie cutters, snack keychains, cake stands, plates, and today’s find, which might be suitable for the more subtle Disney fan. Mickey, is that you?? That’s right. We found a Mickey strainer in EPCOT, which definitely seems like one of the stranger things you could buy while visiting a theme park, but we’re not judging! The main Mouse himself covers this dish The large metal strainer is covered in Mickey-shaped holes all around and includes some non-Mickey holes at the bottom. A closeup on this classy kitchen piece If you’re feeling inspired to cook up somethi The main Mouse himself covers this dish ng amazing after eating your way around the World Showcase, or you’re dreaming of a Disney kitchen, you can grab yourself a Mickey strainer at Mouse Gear for $29.99. We know Minnie ears and spirit jerseys aren’t for everyone, and this is definitely not the first time Disney has gone for the more low-key route when creating new merchandise. It’s good to know that even if you don’t want to go all out with your fandom, there might still be a piece of merch out there for you! This Disney phone case is so subtle, we almost missed it!

We’ve seen quite a few updates made recently regarding COVID-19 and reopening regulations. California Beach In California, we’ve gotten updated theme park reopening guidelines and seen how vaccination eligibility will soon be expanding. And now we’ve got a big update on gatherings with regards to California’s rules. California has been utilizing a colored tier system as part of its reopening plan. Each county in the state is placed in a different colored tier depending on various factors including infection rates. California Tiers ©COVID19.ca.gov According to KRON 4 News, California recently made some BIG updates to its tiered reopening system which will allow for indoor concerts, theater performances, and more. According to the new rules, beginning April 15th outdoor gatherings for up to 25 people will be allowed for those in counties in the Red Tier. That gathering size can then increase to 50 for those in the Orange Tier, and 100 for those in the Yellow Tier. If your county is in the Purple Tier, only outdoor gatherings are allowed and they will be limited to 3 households. A Peek at the “A Touch of Disney” Event in Disney California Adventure Park Indoor gatherings are strongly discouraged for all of the tiers, but they will be allowed (with modifications and capacity limits) in every tier except the Purple Tier under these updated rules. Separate updates will also become effective April 15th for private events and meetings (like receptions or conferences). These events will be allowed to different degrees in the various tiers with capacity limits and other modifications. California Beach In terms of indoor live events or performances, starting April 15th these activities will be allowed in the Red, Orange, and Yellow Tiers with capacity limits and other restrictions like physical distancing, attendance limited to in-state visitors, and other things. For example, for venues with a capacity of up to 1,500 people, in the Red Tier capacity will be limited to 10% or 100 people. But, capacity can increase to 25% if all guests are tested for COVID-19 or show proof of full vaccination. Disney California Adventure Park According to Dr. Mark Ghaly, the Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency, today’s update “is a result of the progress we are making both in vaccinations and in controlling the spread of COVID-19.” COVID-19 vaccination tents at the Disneyland Resort ©Jeff Gritchen, Orange County Register/SCNG At the moment, the Disneyland Resort theme parks are set to reopen on April 30th. Orange County, where Disneyland is located, has also entered the Orange Tier. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we find.

It’s a new month in Disney World! Partners Statue If you’re spending next week in Disney World, you’re probably ready to get packing! Well, knowing the weather can be a BIG help in getting those bags stocked. So, we’re here to help with a forecast update for next week in Disney World. Weather Forecast According to The Weather Channel, the weather is going to be pretty darn perfect all week. Yep, really. Last week had a good variety of temperatures, but this week, the weather is pretty stable. AND there’s no rain? Wait a minute… . Isn’t the saying “April showers!?” Maybe Disney World didn’t get the memo! April 5th Monday, April 5th will start the week with the lowest temperatures. That day is going to max out at a 78-degree high and we’ll see 56 degrees at night. ©The Weather Channel Looks like we haven’t QUITE escaped those mid-50s evenings so keep that in mind when packing your park bag for the day. Your evening self will thank you for having an extra layer ready. April 6th The next day, April 6th, brings us warmer temps hitting a comfy day at 82 degrees during the day and keeping that low down at a cool 58 degrees. ©The Weather Channel It’s another day that a light jacket or scarf could come in handy in the evening! Just make sure you have a way to tote it along when you’re wanting short sleeves mid-day. April 7th On Wednesday, April 7th, we’re going to see temps jump up a little bit more, and (Thank goodness!) that includes the low. Your low is gonna eek its way up into the low 60s for a more comfortable evening! ©The Weather Channel Now 61 degrees might sound like a nicer evening, but you still might find yourself with a chill. So don’t abandon your layers just yet. April 8th For Thursday, April 8th, we’re seeing a day with the warmest temps of the whole week in the high-80s and a comfy evening in the mid-60s. ©The Weather Channel These temperature fluctuations from day to night can definitely be surprising. Still, if you think 65 degrees sounds comfy, you might be able to skip bringing a jacket this day! April 9th The week continues with pretty similar temperatures in both the day and the nighttime on April 9th. ©The Weather Channel You might have noticed a pattern by now. There’s seriously NO rain in the forecast! Friday has the highest chance of 24% but that is LOW for what’s supposed to be a showery month. April 10th Saturday, April 10th brings us more WARM temps in the high-70s and. YEP, another dry day. ©The Weather Channel Here, we’ll see an 87-degree high and a 66-degree low. April 11th And we’ll wrap up our week on April 11th with a VERY comfortable day temperature-wise. But really, besides those cool evenings, how is that any different from the rest of the week? ©The Weather Channel It’s another warm day and comfy night, if you can believe it. Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures are projected to be pretty stable for daytimes over the week with some cooler evenings. We’re looking at a range of 70s to 80s highs and 50s to 60s lows. We can’t wait to leave those 50s in the past! Although, we can’t say we’re quite ready for 90-degree days. ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©Click Orlando …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©WESH 2 News Seriously, a Florida April with no rain? What’s going on! Still, this could change! Florida might be faking us out so check back with the forecast in the days leading up to and during your trip. You don’t want to get caught in a shower unprepared! Click here for tips to survive Disney World weather! Tips for Weathering the Weather! Now that we know the weather, we’ve got a few tips on how to pack and plan so you stay comfortable! Have a plan for those cooler nights! It can certainly be difficult to think about the cold when you’re seeing highs in the 70s and 80s, but you should! It’s hard to think of anything worse than being stuck in Disney World, chilled to the bone because you thought 58 degrees would feel a little warmer. Baby Yoda Sweatshirt Good news! This is easy to avoid! Make sure you have a layer packed like a light jacket, scarf, or hat. It’ll do wonders when those temperatures drop. If you don’t manage to get a layer packed, you can always snag something from a Disney store — but it might cost you! Need help with a Disney World packing list? Click here! Get ready for the heat! Yep, you need to prep for cold and for warm again this week! Those upper 80s temps might leave you feeling a little sweaty and sticky and they can certainly mean a lot of sun exposure. Free Water at Sunshine Tree Terrace Make sure your park bag includes sunscreen and sunglasses. You’ll also want to make sure you’re getting plenty of water! You can speak to Cast Members at most quick-service locations to make sure you’re getting your fix of hydration with a free cup of water. Click here for more tips for packing your park bag!

Hello, everyone! We’re over on the West Coast checking out everything going on at Disneyland Resort! Downtown Disney And BOY, is there a LOT going on. Not only is Disneyland reopening soon, but we just got some details about an expansion of the resort (!!!), AND then ate one of the most controversial snacks we’ve probably ever had! We also recently spent some time at Downtown Disney, checking out ALL the updates, so buckle your seatbelts, keep your arms in the vehicle at all times, and let’s get going! Downtown Disney Food Updates Wetzel’s Pretzels Did you know you could get $1 refills at Downtown Disney? All you have to do is head over to Wetzel’s Pretzels and buy a Souvenir Mug! Oh, and IT LIGHTS UP. OooOo A Souvenir Cup! But the best thing about this mug is that after you pay $14.99 for it (which includes a drink), you can bring it back to Wetzel’s with your receipt to get another FREE drink. Then, bring it on future trips to get refills for just $1! We can get behind that! Learn More About the Wetzel’s Pretzels Souvenir Mug Blue Ribbon Corn Dog So here it is — the moment we know you’ve been waiting for. Because we’ve told you ALL about the infamous Pickle Corn Dog. And let’s just say — people have some STRONG opinions about this panko-crusted corn dog inside a pickle with its peanut butter dipping sauce. We eat these things so you don’t have to. Well, we tried it! And yeah, it’s a weird combo of flavors, but if you love pickles and hot dogs, we think you’ll actually like it! And oddly enough, we thought the peanut butter added just the right hint of sweetness. Who knew?!?!?! Read our full review of the Pickle Corn Dog Here Downtown Disney Merchandise Updates World of Disney The Tweed and Pearl Minnie Ears have officially arrived at Downtown Disney! These are the ears that have the Mickey-shaped pearls on them that we saw at Disney World. And they are even MORE stylish in person! Look at that tweed bow! These pretty ears are now available for $29.99. STYLISH! We know a lot of you are Moms and would TOTES agree with this Mom is the Best Life T-Shirt. This tee is $36.99. Check out how the “i’s” are dotted with Mickey ears. Mom life IS the best life! Forget “Best Day Ever” — how about a Best Mom Ever T-Shirt? Wouldn’t these shirts make great Mother’s Day gifts for Disney-loving moms? This one is also $36.99. Happy Mom’s Day! If you’re looking to represent that charming artwork from an equally charming ride, you now get a Loungefly ID Holder with that art on it! This one comes with a lanyard and is $20. it’s a small world after all… You can also get a Loungefly ‘it’s a small world’ ID Holder with a retractable clip for $20. So Sweet! And we have to show you this ADORABLE retractable clip on this thing, too! We love this! If the Enchanted Tiki Room is more your speed, there’s also a Tiki Room Cardholder for $14.99. And now we’re singing that song, too. Btw, we’ve seen this previously at the Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World, appropriately enough! In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room… We have a favorite duck and his name is Donald and he’s TOTALLY repping Disneyland on this new t-shirt! This bright yellow tee is $24.99. YEP! Donald! Have you ever related so hard to a t-shirt? Yeah, us, too — this new Grumpy T-Shirt says it all “Nope, not today.” And it’s $24.99. Same, Grumpy, same. Our girl, Minnie is representing Disneyland on a pretty mint T-Shirt. This one just screams spring, doesn’t it? It’s also $24.99. CUTE! Disney has its share of iconic couples, but we’ll admit we love Stitch and Angel, and they’re here together on a Loungefly Mini Backpack for $75. Isn’t it precious? If you’re on the East Coast, we spotted this at Disney Springs! Awwww!!!! Okay, pin collectors, start your engines and get ready to head to Downtown Disney. Because we found the Magic in the Stars Pinocchio Pin — and it’s got Figaro on it — and we rarely see him on stuff. The pin is available now for $19.99. FIGARO IS ON THIS PIN! AND speaking of pins…the Artfully Evil collection is here, too. First, there’s the Queen of Hearts… She’s going to make us paint the roses red! … and, of course, no one makes a pin awesome like Gaston. Both of these pins are $19.99. He’s so dreamy!!! We LOVED Raya and the Last Dragon and feel like this Stronger Together Pin gets to the heart of the movie! It’s available for $15.99. We LOVE this movie! There’s also a Sisu Pin. This one is $17.99, and we previously saw both of these at Disney World. Sisu is best dragon! Don’t worry Baby Yoda fans, Disney is still making PLENTY of The Child merchandise. And we spotted a Grogu Character Clip for $11.99. Take Baby Yoda with you everywhere! Do you love Disney snacks as much as we do? Well, we found a new keychain collection with nothing but snacks! YES!!! First, there’s a Mickey Popcorn Bucket Keychain. It’s a tiny Mickey popcorn bucket The back is where you can see that this IS, in fact, a popcorn bucket — albeit a miniature one. Now we want popcorn. There’s also a Minnie one! Minnie popcorn bucket, FTW Now, the Alien Popcorn Bucket Keychain kinda’ freaked us out a bit. Because he looks — well, a little rabid. Like his eyes are really big and that doesn’t look like popcorn — it looks like he’s foaming at the mouth. What is going on here? But the Mickey Kitchen Sink Sundae Keychain is CUTE, so there’s that. Not scary at all. But they could have added another sccoop of ice cream! These keychains are $9.99 each. Anyone want ice cream? We love hearing the Monorail announcement that tells us to “stand clear of the doors,” and you guys — it’s NOW ON A MUG! And you can get it for $14.99. Please stand clear of the doors… Can you spot your favorite Disneyland Icons on this Mug? We’ve got Sleeping Beauty Castle and Mickey’s Fun Wheel… Icons! …and there’s also Carthay Circle Theatre and the Matterhorn. This awesome mug is $14.99. There’s a mug with Matterhorn on it! Of course, you can always just get a Mickey Mouse Mug for $14.99. Nothing says Disney more than Mickey, are we right? Mickey! But Minnie is just as iconic, thank you very much! And she’s on a Mug, too! This mug is also $14.99. Minnie! Did someone say ice cream? Oh, wait, that was us! Well, we’re going to need an Ice Cream Scoop and we found an AWESOME one for $14.99. It’s got little fake Mickey sprinkles in the handle! Yes, we need this ice cream scoop This Baymax Tumbler is ready to ask us if we’re satisfied with our care, WHILE keeping us hydrated! How would we rate this tumbler? This tumbler is $22.99. We would rate this an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! Here’s How Long We Had to Wait for Dole Whip at Disneyland Today The Dress Shop The Loungefly Ariel Purse is here! The little golden shells on it are such a nice touch, don’t you think? If a mermaid were a purse… This purse is $75 if you want it to be part of your world (see what we did there?).

We’ve shared how to make Mickey waffles at home, we’ve eaten plant-based Mickey waffles, and we’ve even had blueberry Mickey waffles. OOOOH YEEAAAAA But, perhaps one of the MOST adorable and fun ways to eat your Mickey waffle is by ordering a Mickey Waffle Sundae with a CHOCOLATE Mickey Waffle in a Souvenir Bowl! We grabbed this treat last year at the BoardWalk Bakery. Later, it seemingly disappeared and we weren’t able to find it for a while. BUT, NOW IT’S BAAAAACK! OH YEAH friends, it is once again time to grab yourself a yummy ice cream sundae with Mickey waffles in a souvenir bucket! We stopped by the BoardWalk bakery earlier today and found that Mickey Waffle Sundaes are once again available. You can see them listed under the Daily Specials section of the menu. We Are READY You can get the waffle sundae in a souvenir bowl for $15.99. You could also just get soft-serve ice cream in a cup for $4.49 if that’s what you’re looking for. Of course, we HAD to get the waffle sundae treat today. YUM This special creation comes with one chocolate Mickey Waffle, ice cream (we got vanilla), chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and a cherry on top. In terms of ice cream flavors, they also had chocolate ice cream, and a vanilla and chocolate twist available. Note that before this treat used to come with one vanilla and one chocolate Mickey waffle, but today it was served with just one chocolate Mickey waffle. Is This What Mickey Sundae Dreams Are Made Of? Basically, it is your standard, good, hot fudge sundae with the addition of a Mickey Waffle! We really didn’t have any complaints about the ice cream — it was your regular, sweet soft-serve type. In the past, the chocolate Mickey waffle has been wonderfully rich, and we’ve found it to have a perfect consistency. Our reporter who tried the dish today said the Mickey waffle wasn’t as sweet as they were hoping for. But, they said that it was a nice change from the regular waffle. It’s BACK! With tax, the treat came out to $17.03 which is on the pricier side for a sundae. And now you only get 1 Mickey waffle as opposed to the 2 you used to get for $15.97 (before tax). But it did seem like there was a bit more ice cream this time than there was previously. Ultimately, you’re really paying the big bucks for that souvenir bowl. If you’re looking for a sweet treat in Disney World with a really fun souvenir bowl, now you know where to stop. But, you’ll have to decide if the cost is worth it for you! We’ll keep an eye out for more food news and let you know what we find. Stay tuned for more updates. Click here to see how to UPGRADE the most popular Galaxy’s Edge snack in Disney World!

We’re back with another DFB food hack for ya! Flower and Garden You know we love finding cool and creative ways to eat in Disney World. We’ve taught you how to make waffle ice cream sandwiches, hack Disney drinks, and even access top-secret menus! And today, we’re back with a fun way to create your own Mickey-shaped snack. Okay, let’s take a trip to the France Pavilion in EPCOT. There, you’ll find L’Artisan des Glaces, which serves up ice cream and macarons in seasonal flavors. Now, ice cream and macarons sound great on their own, right? But what if we combine ’em? And if we arranged those macarons juuuust right…we’d have Mickey ice cream! Voila! Now don’t worry — we’re gonna show you exactly how to make this little guy. You’ll want to order a single scoop of your favorite ice cream flavor in a cone (you’ve got 16 to choose from!). We went with coconut white chocolate just for kicks. The ice cream looks tasty! Here comes the fun part: those Mickey ears! You may remember we told ya that you could buy macarons individually at L’Artisan des Glaces, for $1.40 each. So order 2 in your favorite flavor (we got chocolate!) and stick ’em on top of your ice cream. And there you have it… Time for the macarons! …a Mickey ice cream treat! Yum! Your single scoop of ice cream will cost you $5 — then add in your 2 macarons at $1.40 each for a grand total of $7.80. What better way to cool off on a hot day than chowing down on a Mickey-inspired snack, right? Next time you’re in EPCOT, give this little hack a try! And stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news.

When it comes to celebrities at Disney World, most guests are allll about Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse Of course, we love seeing Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and everyone else, too! But this time of year, we get excited for another star — one who only appears once a year. That’s right, we’re talking about the Easter Bunny! He’s officially made his way to Disney World to greet guests, and we spotted him at Magic Kingdom, spreading a little Easter spirit! You can find him hangin’ out right around Cinderella Castle. It’s the Easter Bunny! Of course, he’s a pretty popular fella, so he drew quite a crowd! Lots of people gathered around to watch his springtime shenanigans. Look at all his fans! So what exactly WAS the Easter Bunny up to?! Well, he was playing a game with Mrs. Easter Bunny (that’s right guys, she was out, too!). Mrs. Easter Bunny is here, too! We watched as Mr. Easter Bunny hid some eggs and Mrs. Bunny tracked ’em down. Luckily, she had a basket for all the goodies she found! They’re having a GREAT time! While they played, they made sure to wave at their fans. But if you’ll be in the parks to say hi, you’ll wanna note that they only stuck around for about 5 minutes. So act fast! We love ya, Mr. Easter Bunny! We don’t know about you, but we’re pretty happy to see Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny out and about! It really feels like spring now, doesn’t it?

As the situation with the pandemic and COVID-19 vaccine develops, we’ve seen a number of changes made. Florida Sunset Recently, we shared how more individuals in Florida will soon become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, and how vaccine passports may be required for travel and more this summer. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis previously indicated that he would ban vaccine passports in Florida, and now he has taken further action to do so. Earlier today, Governor DeSantis issued an Executive Order regarding vaccine passports. The order specifies that “No Florida government entity, or its subdivisions…shall be permitted to issue vaccine passports, vaccine passes, or other standardized documentation for the purpose of certifying an individual’s COVID-19 vaccination status to a third party.” Essentially, with this provision, the Florida Governor has banned Florida government entities from issuing any kind of vaccine passport-type documentation. Disney World’s Health and Safety Signs The Executive Order goes on to state that “Business in Florida are prohibited from requiring patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-transmission recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or serve from the business.” Essentially, the Executive Order prohibits Florida businesses from mandating that customers provide any documentation showing that they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to get service. Florida Palm Trees The Executive Order further notes that all businesses need to comply with this order “to be eligible for grants or contracts funded through state revenue.” But, the Order notes that it does not otherwise restrict business from putting other COVID-19 screening protocols in place, in accordance with state and federal law, to protect public health. Health and Safety Signs in Disney World The executive order is effective immediately. You can read the full text of the Executive Order here. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we find. Click here to see more about the CDC’s updated travel guidance for those who are fully vaccinated.

Red Crowned Crane But, those aren’t the only new things we got to try recently. We also found a BRAND NEW treat in Disney World that is a twist on a Disneyland classic.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover News Well, friends, we half expected that we’d be here again and…here we are.
