The only thing better than a big, hot cup of coffee in the morning is a big hot cup of coffee in a Disney mug! Disney mugs We have seen some EXTREMELY cute Disney mugs recently, from this adorable Thunderbolt 101 Dalmations mug to some sweet retro pastel Disney World mugs, but a few new mugs we spotted at Disneyland’s Downtown Disney shopping district may be our favorite new mugs of the year! If you’ve ever ridden the Monorail at Walt Disney World or Disneyland, then you know that the phrase “Please stand clear of the doors” is kind of famous, but the phrase in Spanish, “Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas” is TRULY a FAN FAVORITE moment! Now, you an start your day a bilingual way with this super fun and colorful Monorail mug! MONORAIL! This cult classic phrase is printed on this $14.99 mug, which is super cool, but our favorite part might be all of the Monorail trains in all the colors of the rainbow! We’ll take dos, por favor! “Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas” If the Monorail isn’t the Disneyland icon for you, you may enjoy this new mug that has four — yes FOUR — landmarks from the West Coast theme parks. The Disney World icons get a lot of love, so we’re THRILLED to see the Disneyland icons get the same treatment. And, yes, we said FOUR landmarks! Of course, this mug features depictions of Sleeping Beauty Castle and Pixar Pal-A-Round… Icons! …But it also features Carthay Circle and The Matterhorn! Disneyland and Disney California Adventure would NOT be the same without those spots, so it’s great to see them get their due! This mug is also $14.99. Carthay Circle!! If you want a truly classic icon, then you can keep it simple with this black and white Mickey Mouse mug, which features the OG Disney cartoon etched in white! Such a classy mug! And on the back is his signature! He signed the mug! And what would a Mickey mug be without his Minnie?! She appears on a complementary red Minnie Mouse mug, etched in white as well! Minnie mug! And she signed this mug, too! Both the Mickey and Minnie mugs are $14.99! Celebrity signature! All of these Disneyland mugs are fine and good, but if you prefer your coffee (or other drinks) iced, we spotted maybe the most ADORABLE cup! It’s BAYMAX! ba-la-la-la! This Big Hero 6 looks like a little ice cream scoop and has us satisfied with our care! This cutie is $22.99! Such a cutie! We found all of this drinkware at World of Disney at Downtown Disney, and we’re kind of obsessed with them all! When we see more Disney mugs (or when these awesome items are available online!), we’ll be sure to let you know where to find them! Over 3,000 People Wanted This Random Piece of Disney Merch.

Lots of changes have been made or are coming to spots all over EPCOT. Ah, The Morocco Pavilion! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris are set to open this year, construction has continued at the Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster, and more is happening with the EPCOT Transformation. Big changes have also come to the Morocco Pavilion, which has been taken over by Disney. And today we spotted something VERY different there. At the end of last year, we gave you a snapshot of what places in the Morocco pavilion were open and which were closed. While many stores and restaurants were closed then, and remain closed now, guests were previously able to walk around the back area of the pavilion. But, today things were looking VERY different. The Morocco Pavilion! Today, we found construction-type walls blocking our entry to some of the back areas in the pavilion. Construction Walls Blocked Our Path! Thankfully, we could still say hello to our camel friend, but the areas behind that were out of our reach. What’s Going on Back There? There were walls wrapping around the side areas… More Walls …and through parts of the back. All Blocked! So, while some of the walking areas in the pavilion were open, it seems the very back has been blocked off at the moment. Hmmmm So, what’s going on here, Disney? We’re not sure why these walls have been put up, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!

Ever wanted to take a train from Orlando International Airport directly to Disney World? Well, eventually you might be able to! Brightline is currently working on plans for a train that is set to connect the airport and Disney Springs. Ready to Hop Aboard the Brightline Train? ©Brightline This train was originally targeting a 2023 opening date, but that has now potentially been pushed back all the way to 2026. We’ve looked at how much the train might cost, how Disney might get you and your luggage from the train station to your Disney hotel, and other things. But, now we’ve got another update in terms of WHERE the train station at Disney Springs might be! According to the Orlando Business Journal (OBJ), Brightline is working on where the Disney Springs station might be and how it would enter and exit that station. During a presentation made earlier in March, Brightline presented the map below. According to OBJ, the Brightline representative indicated that the orange areas represent “areas of ongoing study” as Brightline continues to look for the best routes into the proposed Disney station. Map Detail ©Brightline The exact location of the Disney station hasn’t been revealed yet, but the map might give us some clues. The Orlando Business Journal overlaid the map onto a geographical map of the Disney area. When they did that, it made it look as though the station could be placed near the southern end of Disney Springs. You can see the Disney Springs area in that left corner near the red marker. Map Overlaid ©Brightline| Orlando Business Journal | Map4News Brightline notes, however, that if the track veers a bit to the north (as it could based on the orange outline) then the station might be placed in a part of undeveloped land between Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and some Disney staff offices. A newer OBJ article notes that they have learned one possible stop for the train might be incorporated into the Orange Parking Garage in Disney Springs, according to sources with knowledge of the plans. Disney Springs Orange Garage But, as OBJ notes, these are all just potential, early plans. These plans may be changed significantly or even scrapped as the development and planning process moves along. Potential Routes ©Brightline | Obtained via the Orlando Sentinel Additionally, they note that a deal isn’t finalized yet for building the rail line into and out of Disney World. Disney and Brightline previously did reach a deal for building the train station at Disney Springs, but that is conditioned on Brightline’s satisfaction of certain obligations. As we shared previously, Brightline was recently given a deadline to meet with regards to reaching various agreements to build its extension from the airport to the Disney station and onto Tampa. Would You Take a Train to Disney World? ©Brightline Reportedly, Disney told OBJ it had “nothing more to share” at this time. So, many details have yet to be revealed, but based on Brightline’s maps and some information shared by OBJ, we have a bit better of an idea of where this Disney station could be placed. Again, all of these are just potential proposals at the moment and it is all subject to change. We’ll keep an eye out for more details and share those with you when we learn more. 10,000 people voted on whether they’d take the train to Disney World — click here to see what they said!

Disney Springs is home to a host of unique restaurants and flavors from around the world. In addition to yummy bites, it’s also a great stop for happy hour. Don’t you just want to kick back and enjoy this view? Today, a Disney Springs kiosk announced that they’re bringing in a new drink to join their lineup. YeSake is over on the West Side of Disney Springs, and has a rotating menu of fun seasonal drinks including sake, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic slushies, and frozen beer. YeSake over in Disney Springs has fun things on the menu — like this popping boba lemonade! Today, YeSake posted on their instagram that they now have a new drink available on the menu — and it might look familiar. Here we’ve got the Violet Sake! It looks similar to the Violet Sake Slush we’ve tried in the past, but it from the picture seems like this is iced instead of frozen. From @yesakeorl on Instagram It also totally reminds us of the Violet Lemonade we love over at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival! Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade The color is bright and fun, and it looks like a fun drink to throw on the ‘gram. It’s on the menu now at Yesake in Disney Springs. We’ll be heading there soon to try it out for ourselves! Curious about Yesake’s other drinks? Check out our review here! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

One of the things we loved the most about the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival merchandise was the updated Orange Bird Sipper. New Orange Bird Sipper and Orange Lemon Smoothie Seriously, we LOVE that little guy! He’s been a hit since 2019 ever since he first turned up at The Citrus Blossom booth (which is pretty much a regular at EPCOT now throughout the year) at the 2019 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. After that, he kinda just stick around. But this year, he got a new look, and we love him even more. Since the new Orange Bird sipper pushed the old one out, the older version has made its way to other locations. And now, you don’t even need a park ticket to get him! We previously mentioned that you could pick up the sipper at Magic Kingdom at Sunshine Tree Terrace. As mentioned above, this is the OLDER version of the sipper and not the new updated one. Older Orange Bird Sipper And it seems like Disney has a lot of the old sippers on hand, because you can also now get it at Pineapple Lanai at Disney’s Polynesian Resort! And guess what, you can get him with the standard Pineapple Float. Pineapple float in Orange Bird! But you can also get ANY flavor available in float form (with juice added)! Today’s featured flavors were Pineapple, Vanilla, Lime, and Lemon! We’ll take all of the above!?!?! One of each, please. The sipper is $16.49 with the float. So run over to the Polynesian now if you want to grab him! And we’ll let you know if he turns up anywhere else at Disney World!

It seems like all the pool construction around Disney World is finally wrapping up! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Earlier this year, it felt like every pool in Disney World was closing for refurbishment. We saw work done to the Hippy Dippy Pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, the Paddock Pool at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, the splash area at Disney’s Polynesian Resort…well, you get the point. And while there’s still more refurbs to come, at least we can mark one more hotel off the list! Today, the Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort reopened! The pool closed on January 11th, 2021 and was expected to remain unavailable through early April. Well…Disney took that quite literally, because it’s April 1st and people can splash around in this GIANT pool once again! The Big Blue Pool is back open! You’ll find all the Finding Nemo touches intact… We love the ‘Finding Nemo’ theme! …including those giant jellyfish on the shallow end! These are pretty cool, right?! The splash pad is back open, too. It makes a great options for kiddos who may shy away from the deeper water. Splash Pad And if you’re not in the mood to swim, there’s plenty of chairs set up for lounging. You can also enjoy a drink while you chill — The Drop Off Pool Bar is celebrating the big day with 2 brand-new drinks! Sunshine and sweet sips? What more could ya ask for?! Pool chair are made for relaxin’! This is one of our favorite Disney pools — it’s HUGE and the theming is top-notch — so we’re happy to welcome it back.

We’re trying to find the BEST spot in Disney World and we’ve turned to YOU to help us out! Cinderella Castle What makes this bracket different than the rest is that these spots were decided by YOU! That’s right — we compiled submissions from our readers so that we could find the ULTIMATE spot. By the end of this, you might only find us there! A few days ago, we put 32 different spots in Disney World face to face on our Instagram Stories and now we’ve got it narrowed down to more! Here are your round 2 winners! First up, we’ve got the EPCOT Italy Pavilion versus Cinderella Castle. The romantic setting of Italy had no chance against the Magic Kingdom park icon and Cinderella Castle took the lead with a whopping 89% of votes. Cinderella Castle v. Italy Pavilion Next up, we pitted Main Street, U.S.A. against the breathtaking walk into World Showcase at EPCOT. In round 1, World Showcase crushed the troll statue inside The Fjording but its reigning days are over. Main Street, U.S.A. pulled ahead with quite the margin collecting 84% of the votes! Main Street v. World Showcase There’s something relaxing about Disney boat rides (even if they’re through a town full of pirates) so we put two classic rides against each other. We asked our readers to decide between Pirates of the Caribbean and Living With The Land and, yet again, this was an easy answer for most with Pirates of the Caribbean coming out in the lead! Pirates of the Caribbean v. Living With The Land At Disney World, even spots outside of the park can be a special place, so we pitted the monorail against a Disney World Resort hotel room. And, the competition was a little tighter on this one! But, the calming sound of a monorail gliding through the sky won out in the end! Monorail v. Resort And, the tightest competition of the day was between two Disney World attractions — Rise of the Resistance and Spaceship Earth. While you can find both in space, there were just enough people who preferred not having to face Stormtroopers and Spaceship Earth came out in the lead with only a 2% margin! Rise of the Resistance v. Spaceship Earth One of the more secret spots in Magic Kingdom is the Wishing Well that is located on a low-trafficked pathway near Cinderella Castle. But, this quiet spot didn’t stand a chance against the glitz and glamour of stepping into Hollywood Studios on Sunset Boulevard! Wishing Well v. Sunset Boulevard And, the Disney World park icons continued to win out when we asked our readers to decide between the Tree of Life and EPCOT’s France Pavilion. Sorry Remy, there’s just something magical about a GIANT tree that comes to life with animals at night! Tree of Life v. France Pavilion Lastly, we put the beach (with a Dole Whip) at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort up against Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And, the Polynesian won with no problem, earning 84% of the votes. We’re happy to see one of our favorite spots to grab a Dole Whip stick around! Poly vs. Nomad Well, we’re down to 8 spots in Disney World now. With only a few more rounds to go, be sure to keep an eye on our Instagram Stories so you can cast your vote!

Happy Easter, DFB Friends! Capt. Cook’s! We’ve been busy eating our way around all the Easter snacks at Disney World, including things with bunny butts, donuts with Peeps on them, pastel Mickey Whoopie Pies, and more! But we’re just getting started! We tried two MORE Easter treats today, this time at Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. And these two treats are truly works of art. These Chefs have done an incredible job! First, we’ve got the Easter Chocolate Cupcake, which sounds a lot more boring than it is. Because LOOK AT IT. It’s got Three Blue Frosting Birds nestled in a Chocolate Frosting Nest. BIRDS in a chocolate nest! So cute! These details are precious, and we’ll admit that we couldn’t look those birds in the eye when we cut into it to eat it. Sorry, not sorry, birdies! But it’s not just pretty, it’s also super tasty — because inside the chocolate cupcake is raspberry cream cheese mousse. And it is DIVINE. This cupcake is similar to the Welcome Back Aloha Cupcake we had last June. And yes, we liked that one, too. Raspberry filling! But we had another beautiful cake to try — the Easter Bunny Chocolate Cake! This is a Chocolate Cake fashioned to look like the Easter Bunny with White Chocolate Ears. Adorable But it’s the details on it that really make it stand out — it even has a Butterfly on it! There’s A Butterfly On Our Cake! However, once we dug in, we realized that this cake looks a lot more extraordinary than it tastes. It’s just basic chocolate cake, and if that’s your thing, we get it. But we expected so much more based on its looks. It’s GOOD chocolate cake, but there aren’t any yummy fillings to take it up a notch like the cupcake has. Basic chocolate cake Both cupcakes are available now for a limited time for $5.99. And we’ll keep trying all the Easter snacks at Disney World and let you know how they are!

Sometimes when we’re wandering around Disney World, we spot some fun things going on. Tower of Terror And we’re not really talking about seeing Donald Duck watering plants, or Mickey in a cavalcade, or even a princess peeking out to say hello. A LOT of stuff gets filmed at Disney World for everything from TV shows to commercials, and if we’re lucky enough, we get a peek behind the scenes of that filming. And that’s what happened today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios today. Now we’re not sure what they were filming, but we noticed a film crew setting up in front of Dockside Diner at the tables there. Interestingly enough, Dockside Diner is one of the few food locations at Hollywood Studios that hasn’t reopened yet. Setting up, but for what? But then FOOD came out, and well, we’re all about food, so our curiosity was even more piqued. Food?!?!?! At first, we thought the food was for catering, but it seems like the food is actually part of whatever they’re filming. (And yes, it was hard not to just yell, “Hey, are you going to eat that?”). What is this? Earlier, we saw people signing forms, so we assumed that guests were being asked to participate in the filming, maybe as background actors. Filming But then we heard a Cast Member say, “It’s the last shot of the day, we’re almost done” to the kids on set. So these may be professional actors, at least seated at the table. Almost done? So it looks like they were filming some actors as a “family” having a meal at Disney World? We’re not entirely sure, but if we find out, we’ll let you know! Needless to say, we’re intrigued! What do you think they are filming? We wanna hear your thoughts!

All right guys, we’re doing it. We’re headin’ to Downtown Disney to try a SUPER controversial snack. Carthay Circle A few days ago, we told you allll about the Panko Crusted Pickle Corn Dog (yes, you heard that right!) at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Now, we’ve had our fair share of the ordinary Panko Corn Dogs at this spot, and they’re pretty tasty! But would the pickle make our break this classic snack?! Well, we’re gonna give it a try for ya and let you know! But first, let’s break down the snack itself. You’ll get a hot dog inside of a pickle inside a corn dog. The whole thing is then coated in panko! Phew. And if you want another flavor thrown in there, you’ll also get a packet of peanut butter and some chips on the side. Panko Crusted Pickle Dog So…what do all these layers look like on the INSIDE? Well, here ya go! That’s a lot of different ingredients! And with that, it’s time to taste! Now, we’re gonna say right off the bat that this is NOT for those who dislike pickles. In fact, if you’re not too sure about this kinda weird combo of ingredients, you’ll probably want to pass. But if you’re a pickle fan — and especially if you love the pickles in Disneyland — you’ll likely really enjoy it. Let’s take a closer look! And if you don’t shy away from the strange combination of flavors, you’ll find that they work together surprisingly well! The peanut butter adds a nice of element of sweetness, and at least in our experience, the pickle juice didn’t make the breading all soggy. However, you won’t get the same proportion of ingredients in every bite. And the hot dog had the faintest taste of all! Would YOU give this a try?! If you’re ambitious and wanna try this snack for yourself, you can snag it for $13. Pro tip: cut it open BEFORE you start chowing down. It’s much easier to eat it that way than trying to munch on it straight off the stick! So…what side of the pickle corn dog debate are you on?! Would you try this or not?

We are beyond excited about all the upgrades happening around Disney World for the big 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year (and lasts until 2023!!!). A Beautiful Sight at Magic Kingdom! And it’s going to be QUITE the party, and the whole resort is getting a glow-up so it can look its best for when the celebration begins. Not only is EPCOT going through a massive transformation, but all four parks will see some special effects added to their icons. And the most iconic buildings in all of Disney World — aka Cinderella Castle — has already been repainted, with work continuing on it to add some fancy “draperies” to its walls. And as of last night, that part of the castle’s makeover is complete. And BOY, does she look beautiful! SO PRETTY Imagineer Zach Riddley confirmed that the team has already installed the “final dramatic draperies” (okay, cool term). And they really are quite dramatic! DRAMATIC. He also confirmed that the next step of the castle’s makeover is adding “majestic swirls” of golden ribbons to its roofs. Why gold? Well, not only is it VERY royal, but gold is also the traditional gift for 50th anniversaries. Even Fantasyland is getting a golden glow-up! Magnificent! Like, we already cry when we see the castle, but it just gets more beautiful every day with all these new additions! Here’s what the castle transformation should look like when completed. Cinderella Castle Concept Art ©Disney We’ll keep you updated on its progress as we get closer to Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration, which begins on October 1st.

Disney World vacations can be a LOT of fun, but they’re not all magic and pixie dust. Cinderella Castle There’s definitely a few changes Disney can make to improve the theme park experience — but that’s not all. Between long lines, the heat, and crowds, sometimes you’ve just had ENOUGH. So we asked our DFB readers: when have they almost given up in Disney World? Here’s what they said. Rude Guests Picture this: it’s a hot day in Disney World. The lines are long and, especially pre-COVID, the crowds are almost impossible to navigate. Naturally, people are gonna get cranky and take it out on strangers. Or sometimes, you may run into another guest that’s just plain unpleasant. EPCOT Crowds in 2020 Guys, there were TONS of these comments. One reader told us about a lady that wanted to “hit our 4-year-old with her scooter” for being in the way. WHAT?! And you all had LOTS to say about filling in all the rows at Fantasmic!. Seems like that show used to put us all a little too close for comfort. Fantasmic! At least with Disney’s new safety procedures, we don’t get quite as close to strangers anymore. Here’s Our Crowd Prediction for Disney Next Week! Your Own Family Yup, we said it. While we’re on the subject of people arguing…a long family Disney trip usually has a meltdown of SOME kind. And boy did you guys have meltdowns to share! Readers told us about friends who “fought like siblings,” mothers-in-law who didn’t stick with the plan, and spouses who’d given up by 9:30AM (Yes, that’s less than an hour after the park opened. We get it — sometimes it’s just one of those days.). EPCOT Yikes. Sometimes it really is your own family, isn’t it? The Family Dynamic Is Interesting (to Say the Least) in This Live-Action Disney Movie, Too! Losing a Good View Okay, this one was RELATABLE, especially in those pre-COVID days where we had parades and nighttime spectaculars galore. Plenty of you had stories to share about waiting hours for that perfect view of Festival of Fantasy or Happily Ever After, only for someone to cut in last minute right. in. front of you. Festival of Fantasy Parade One reader talks about a guy who put his kid on his shoulders right in front of the reader’s 9-year-old (poor kid). Then, the guy “starts moving around to keep his kid amused and elbows me in the head!” Yeah, we’d be just about done after that, too. Check Out the Recent Fireworks Testing in Disney World! The Heat The weather can be BRUTAL in Orlando — just ask our readers! And when you’re already havin’ a rough day, the heat can be the cherry on top that makes a day at Disney a STRUGGLE. One reader cited Hollywood Studios in particular, saying “that place needs some shade.” Surely a couple more palm trees wouldn’t ruin the theming of Sunset Blvd?! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Yeah, take that picture and then place yourself in it in 90-plus degree heat. Ouch. Having Trouble Wearing a Mask in the Heat? Here’s Some Tips! When Rides Go Down Most of us know the pain of running to ride our favorite Disney attraction only to realize it’s temporarily closed. But let’s take that up a notch, because many of our readers have gotten STUCK on Disney rides…for a really long time. It’s a Small World One reader wrote about getting stuck on “it’s a small world” — and he remembers it vividly even though it happened 23 YEARS ago. He says “For nearly 30 minutes, we did not move and I was sitting next to that speaker and being subjected to that song over and over and over and…” Well, you get the point. Check Out All the Disney Rides That Are Planned to Close in March! Not Getting a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group One reader researched tips and tricks for months on how to snag a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and then didn’t get it on her one day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. She says, “Your family looks at you with big eyes…it’s very disheartening knowing that’s it.” Rise of the Resistance If you’ve been in this position before (and trust us, we have to), it can be really upsetting. But sometimes, no matter how much you’ve prepared, it comes down to luck and timing! Our Tips for Getting a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group! Kids Yes, your own kids. We love ’em, but sometimes they can be a LOT. They can have total meltdowns, fight with each other, or cry about EPCOT’s macarons not being perfectly stacked (yup, that happened). Splash Mountain Our favorite story? “Santa” gave some kids a trip to Disney World, but in a moment of anger, the parent blurted out “Do you know how much this trip cost us?” To which the wise-cracking 5-year-old replied, “NOTHING! Santa bought it for us!” Ah, good ol’ kids. Check Out These Great Disney Treats for Kids (and Adults)! Technology Between Park Pass reservations, the My Disney Experience app, and Mobile Order, there can be a LOT of new tech to learn for your Disney trip. And if you haven’t quite gotten the hang of it, it can be overwhelming! One reader wrote that he almost gave up because he felt like a personal assistant to his family. Or, as he noted, all the time on his phone “drained my battery (along with my will to live).” Mobile Order Signs And with Disney putting emphasis on touch-free experiences, we’re relying more on our phones than ever. Just keep in mind, if you’re ever struggling with those features, ask a Cast Member for help! They’ll be happy to assist. Our Tips for Making the Most Out of Disney’s Mobile Order! Long Lines This one kinda goes with crowds, but the lines can get SO unbearable they deserve their own spotlight. Many of you lamented spending so much time waiting with tired feet and sore legs. One reader mentioned the particular pain of thinking “you are almost getting to the front of the queue and find you’re just getting inside the building…with another hour of wait time.” Yikes. Frozen Ever After Line People, we FEEL you. These lines can be a lot. And without Fastpasses, we’ve just gotta grin and bear it — or spend all day trying food instead. We’re total advocates of that, too. Check Out This Wait for the SKYLINER! We found that all of these hit close to home for us — seems like a lot of these Disney frustrations are universal! We’re just keepin’ it real with you guys. But don’t worry. These are just small moments that are hopefully part of a bigger and better trip overall. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news and tips, so you can have fewer times like the ones mentioned above.

Are you ready to eat?! Cinderella Castle Because we’re in Magic Kingdom tryin’ something new! Here at DFB, we’re constantly keeping an eye out for new eats in the parks. And we found one! Pinocchio Village Haus is serving up a brand-new dessert, so we headed over to Fantasyland to check it out. Pinocchio Village Haus offers Quick Service Italian fare: we’re talkin’ flatbreads, pasta, and breadsticks. But what’s an Italian meal without a classic dessert? If you’re in the mood for something sweet, you can now grab Tiramisu here. It’s your classic combo of cocoa powder, a vanilla biscuit sheet, and tiramisu mousse. Yum, right?! Tiramisu Well…kinda. Now, this isn’t the WORST tiramisu we’ve ever had, but it’s not authentic Italian by any means. The biggest issue we had was that it was mushy, instead of soft and creamy. But at least it wasn’t overly sweet like some of the other Disney tiramisu we’ve tasted! Not a standout treat, but not too bad, either! If you’re really craving the tiramisu flavor, give it a try! It’s not the best — but it’s not the worst, either. And at $4.49, you’ll also get a pretty decent-sized portion for the price.

Guys. Disney World just put a spin on an ICONIC Disneyland treat. Animal Kingdom We’re gonna take a trip wayyy back to 2010 in Disneyland. That’s when the Matterhorn Macaroon arrived at Blue Ribbon Bakery! It quickly became a west coast staple — people (yup, including us) loved this little guy! In fact, we loved it so much that we figured out how to make it at home. And you can still enjoy the coconut-y, white chocolate goodness at Jolly Holiday Bakery! But Disney World just came out with its OWN version of the Matterhorn Macaroon…and we’ve gotta say, we’re impressed. First of all, let’s refresh your memory. It’s the Matterhorn Macaroon! Now, keep that picture in the back of your head because we’re introducing… Matterhorn Macaroon …the Everest Base Camp Macaroon! This fella outshined the Matterhorn Macaroon with THREE mountain tops, made of chocolate and coconut macaroons. You’ll also get a “snowcap” of white chocolate and a flurry of snowflake sprinkles on a base of green tea chocolate crumbs. Everest Base Camp Macaroon Even when our beloved Matterhorn Macaroon was on a donut, we don’t think it looked THIS good. Although the color and texture is a little off-putting…if you know what we mean…we promise it tastes AMAZING. That’s an Insta-worthy treat! The chocolate was the bomb. It was perfectly sweet and super flavorful! Both the white chocolate on the mountain tops and the milk chocolate on bottom were smooth and creamy. We cannot recommend this treat enough. Seriously. The only people who may wanna pass are those who are super anti-coconut. We’re talkin’ if you REALLY hate it. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with this! Can we pack these in our luggage?! Sorry, Matterhorn Macaroon. You just may be beat, because this new snack easily makes our top park treats list! You can find the Everest Base Camp Macaroon at Thirsty River Bar in Asia for $5.99. We’re happy to see Disney World’s own spin on this legend, and we’ll definitely be back to try it again! As always, stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news. Read More About the Matterhorn Macaroon!

It’s Earth Month! Ready to Go to Animal Kingdom?! All throughout Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there are special, NEW treats, experiences, and more coming this month in celebration of Earth Day. Earlier today we got to try a new drink that basically tasted like we were sipping on cotton candy in liquid form and we got to try another cotton-candy topped creation. But, now, it’s time for ANOTHER new drink, with a very colorful look! As part of the new offerings coming this month, you can find the Crave the Wave drink over at Restaurantosaurus Lounge in DinoLand U.S.A. OoooOooOo A New Drink! The “Crave the Wave” drink is made of Snow Leopard vodka, Bols Blue Curaçao and Minute Maid Premium Lemonade. The drink is VERY blue, which is fun for pictures. BLUE CURAÇAO STRIKES AGAIN! (Let’s just say, we’ve seen quite a few drinks use this colorful ingredient in Disney World in the past). With this drink, we especially love the way the drink was presented to us with the citrus slices on the side to form a kind-of hidden Mickey! So Insta-Worthy! But, what about the taste? Well, the drink is tangy and tart from the lemonade, and it’s got a bit of sweetness as well. Despite its pretty intense blue flavor, the curaçao isn’t THAT strong tasting, at least to us. Our reporter shared that it wasn’t a bad drink, but they’re not sure if they’d personally order it again. You Gotta Love This Presentation If you like lemonade-based cocktails, we think you’d probably enjoy this. Also, if you aren’t a fan of strong drinks, this might be a good choice for you as we felt like it wasn’t very strong. Generally, we think this could be a good choice for quite a few people. But, if you’re looking for a really strong drink, this probably isn’t the right choice for you! You’ll want to look for another option for that. Would You Order This? If you’re looking for a colorful, cute drink with a bit of a tangy and tart flavor, you can grab this drink right now at Restaurantosaurus Lounge for $14. It will be available there through April 29th. We’ll keep an eye out for more new snacks and treats all over Disney World and bring you our thoughts. Stay tuned for more updates!
